There is no trophy of human industrv so great in its magnitude and yet so rapid in its fluctua tions—so sensitive and yet so sturdy—so weak and so strong—so helpless and so omnipotent of so intrinsio and inherent a value, and, after all so easily Ben red in the markets by idle theo rists and groundless whimsies. In our short life we have seen the cotton pro ducer, with tears in his eyes, beg the merchant to take his cotton at two cents a pound in ex change for flour, and the merchant consent half in the way of trade and half in charity—saying, “He really did not know what to do with it, for there was already a good deal more cotton in the world than ccnld be used before it would rot!” And we have seen or rather read of cotton at a dollar and ninety-five cents a pound in the North during the war; and we read that a bale was sold in Savannah on Thursday at the fancy price of forty-two cents, and in Montgomery at fifty- eight cents. What a book could be written of fortunes made and fortunes lost—of opportunities missed and embraced in conne ction with cotton fluctuations ? But it is not our pnrpose to begin such a book to-day. We shall content ourselves with a few speculations upon probable cotton prices during the season upon which we have entered, and let them pass with the reader for what they are worth. Reason does not, as we have intimated, al ways control the price of cotton; but she may be said to exercise something like a generally pre ponderating influence. Reason applied to ex isting facts would seem to indicate a steady market at full prices throughout the season.

This deficiency of over four hundred thou sand bales has arisen nnder the general condi tions of inactivity among the manufacturers and a diminishing stock of goods, and a general dullness of trade. Nobody believes that it will be made up by nny increase of product in tho cotton States or elsewhere, and, therefore, arguing from these positions that the supply will not be materially increased, while no diminntion in demand con be reasonably anticipated, we should look for a stiff and steady market at something like exist- And that this seems to be the idea among cotton dealers the transactions we note from time to time, in cotton to be delivered, distinctly show. These transactions extend to cotton to be delivered in New York next December. The last quotation we published for cotton to be delivered in December was 204 to 26}, while cotton on the spot was selling the same day at 334. This is a bet on a decline not to exceed 6f, and as the men who made it calculate to be well paid for the risk, we will venture to say they do not anticipate any material decline at all. To increase the improbabilities of any mate- -iisfrom General Beauregard’s headquarters, rial decline in price during the height of the ». That 0. C.

Wien will our Council act? The citizens anxiously wait to know. The late purchase of the Southwestern, by “® Central Company, must injure the growth Mid business of Macon, more than any event that has happened in the last twenty-five years.

But the spring advance upon the winter’s decline was more than ten cents a pound. Now the question is, whether the cupidity of dealers and producers will permit a recurrence of similar facts for the third time this season. We think not.

Editors Telegraph : I noticed in your paper of the 9th, some corrections about the Moina Cotton. One lot of twelve bales of this cotton ginned on the common saw gin, sold in Savan nah last season at 44c per pound. Mr. C. F. Stubbs of the firm of Sloan. Groover & Co., of Savannah, informed me that his house refused 70c per pound for one bale of this cot ton ginned on a long staple gin. This accounts for the statement to this effect made by one of my friends in last week’s paper. I see in to-day’s paper wbat your Eufaula friends think of my cotton. I'll tell them to wait until the crops are both gathered and weighed—then we will see who beats. I am spending some weeks with try brother-in-law, John Stilwell, about eight miles from this place. He is one of the farmers who believes in making his plantation self-sustaining. He has made enough wheat to last him two years—has the finest crop of com I ever saw in A Pronunciamento from Forney’s Press. • GEORGIA. In none of the States South has the opposition to reconstruction been so steady and unscrupu lous as in Georgia. The Democratic partv there is more proscriptive than it is in Kentucky or Maryland, and the animosities kept dive by the newspapers and the politicians extend, as we have lately seen, to forcible resistance to the revenue officers. The expulsion of the colored members qf the Legislature, after they had par ticipated in the formation of the new govern ment, was an act of supreme madness, and was universally denounced by tbe Republicans of the county. It was a bold and undisguised rev olution, and was followed by many tragical con sequences. All the outrages and murders of the last year are directly traceable to the pas sions aroused and encouraged by that act of in sanity. The courts of Georgia having decided that it was illegal, an opportunity is now pre sented to the authors of this wrong to set them selves partially right by restoring the expelled members to their seats and by ratifying the fif teenth amendment We are *glad to see that Dr. Bard's Atlanta New Era urges this course upon the Democrats. Should they reject this sensible advice Congress will take such measures as will lead to something like government and peace in the State.—Press of the lOfA. We have simply to deny that there has ever been, from first to last, any factious opposition to reconstruction which could be fairly attrib uted to Georgia, as a political community. We have to say that tbe expulsion of the colored members was in perfect harmony with the com mon and almost universal understanding among all parties here, of the requirements of the Constitution; and that a Republican Supreme Court was divided upon the legality of the pro ceeding. The charge thatany outrage followed, as a consequence of that act, is simply absurd; and the whole brood of murders and outrages have been far more the handiwork of Radical partizans than of the people. This laughable story is told of the witty John Phoenix: When Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War he issued circulars to all the army officers, ask ing of them specifications for a proposednewuni- forni. Phoenix, who was an excellent draftsman, set to work and produced a design. He made no great change in the uniform, but he proposed revolutionizing the entire system of modem tac tics by an iron hook. This hook was to be at tached to tbe seat of every soldier’s pants. It applied to every arm of the service, cavalry, in fantry and artillery. He illustrated its use by a series of well executed designs. He quoted high medical authority proving its advantages in a sanitary point of view. The heavy knapsack, he argued, induced a stooping position and a very great contraction of the chest. But hung on the hook by a strap connecting with the shoulder, it would brace the body back and ex pand the chest. The cavalry thus were to be rendered more secure in their seats, hgoked to a rung in the saddle. All the commissioned of ficers were to carry a light twenty-foot pole, with a ring attached to the end. This wa3 to be used during an engagement in drawing tbe stragglers back into the ranks. He illustrated a terrific battle, the generals and colonels being thus occupied, running about hauling stragglers back to the ranks. In many other nnheard of ways did he expatiate on the value of his hook. Jefferson Davis was enraged. His dignity was wounded and the service insulted. He in stantly made out an order directing Phcenix to be court-martialed for contempt. Marcy was made aware of Phoenix’s transaction, as well as the cloud banging over him. He looked over the plates. He saw a regiment, their backs to wards him, drawing up in a line, knapsacks, blankets, hams, and all manner of camp equip age, pending from each soldier on the hook. Marcy broke down. Said he to Davis: “It’s no use to court-martial this man. The matter will be made public: the laugh will settle entirely on us, and besides the man who lias tbe invent ive ingenuity here displayed, as well ns this fac ulty of design, illy directed though it be, is too valuable to the service to be trifled with.” John Phcenix was not brought to grief, and Davis’s anger was at length sufficiently molified for him to enjoy the joke. It does not appear, however, that they adopted Phoenix’s plan. A Carpet-Bagger’s Opinion of tlie Man and Brother. “Oar own correspondent” of the New York Tribune, writing to that paper from Columbia, South Carolina, where he is at present on mis sionary service in behalf of the “God and mor ality Radical party,” thus speaks of the “an- nointed.” He says: “Tho fact is, and it is a melancholy one for us who desire good for the colored race, that the negro is so utterly the slave of his passions, and so utterly destitute of judgement and foresight, that no calculation can be made upon him—no foresight can predict what he will do to-morrow. He may turn next to stab tbe white Democrat, or the white Republican, or the black Democrat, or tbe white carpet-bagger, irrespective of bis politics. He can forget race, blood, politics, oaths of leagues, religion, his promise—anything and everything—under some temporary excite ment. He wants the stability to act with con sistency ; and this comes of the character of his brain, not of tbe color of bis skin. A Celestial Giant.—Chang Woo-Gow, the Chinese giant, is attracting much attention in New York city. This extraordinary individual hails from Foo-Choo, in China. He has been exhibited in Europe daring the past four years, and was very handsomely entertained by Queen Victoria and the Emperor Napoleon, and he has been the recipient of many valuable presents. He arrived in New York on Thursday of last week, in the steamship Denmark, from Liver pool, accompanied by his manager, Mr. Carlett, of Norwich, England, and his wife, King-Foo, a lady of ordinary stature and pleasing presence. Chang is 22 years old, about eight feet six inches in height, and his father, he says, was even taller than himself. He speaks both French and English fluently, and has a decidedly intel ligent countenance. His face i3 perfectly smooth, and his physiognomy betrays bis nationality. Chang's weight, although he is slenderly rather than stoutly built, is 350 pounds, and has caused many amusing accidents. At one time he was riding in a London cab, with a Tartar dwarf, about two feet high, when the bottom suddenly gave way beneath Chang's feet, precipitating the nnlucky dwarf into the mud of Parliament street; and on another similar occasion the giant himself wasrndelydepositedon the ground, and obliged to run for some distance through an excited and admiring crowd. Chang and ms wife have been engaged by the manager of Wood’s Museum, and will soon be on exhibition there.

By Nebos’s lonely mountain, On this side Jordan’s wave, In avals in the land of Moab, There lies a lonely grave; And no man dug the sepulchre, And no man saw it e’er. For the angel of God upturned the sod, . - And laid the dead man there. That was tbe grandest funeral That ever passed on earth: But no man heard the tramping, Or saw the train go forth. Noislessly as tbe dsybght Comes when tbe night is done. And the crimson streak on ocean’s cheek Grows into the great sun. Noislessly as the spring timo Her crowd of verdure weaves, And all the trees on all the hills Open their thousand leaves— So, without sound or music. | Or voice of them that wept, Silently down from the mountain’s crown The great procession 6wept. Perchance tho bald old eagle On gray Bethpeor’a height, Out from his rocky eyrie Looked on the wondrous sight: Perchance tho lion, stalking, Still shuns that hallowed spot; For beast and bird have seen and heard That which man knoweth not. But when the warrior dieth, His comrades in the war. With arms reversed and muffled drum, Follow the funeral car; They show the banners taken, They tell his battles won. And after him lead his masterksa steed, While peals the minute gun. I Amid the noblest of the land Men lay the sage to rest, And give the bard an honored place, With costly marble drest; In the great minster-transept, Where lights like glory fail, And the choir sings and the organ rings Along the emblazoned wall. This was the bravest warrior That ever buckled sword; This the most gifted poet That ever breathed a word; And never earth’s philosopher Traced with his golden pen, On the deathless page, truth half to sage, As he wrote down for men. And had he not high honor? The hill-side for his pall, To lie in State while angels wait. With stars for tapers tall; And the dark rock-pines, like tossing plumes, Over his bier to wave, And God's own band, in that lonely hnd, To lay him in the grave! In that deep grave, without a name, When his uncoffined clay Shall breathe again (most wondrous thought!) Before the judgment day, And stand with glory wrapped around On the hills he never trod, And speak of the strife that won our life With the Incarnate Son of God! O lonely tomb in Moab’s land! O dark Betbpeor Hill 1 Speak to these curious hearts of ours, And teach them to be still. God hath His mysteries of grace— Ways that we cannot tell: He bitles them deep, like the secret sleep Of him he loved so well. Metropolitan Record. From Brooks County. The Quitman Banner of the 13 th has the fol lowing : Fire.—At half past three o’clock Monday morning, the alarm of fire was sounded, and the flames were discovered issuing from the two- story framed building, occupied as a dry goods house by Messrs. Harris & Avera. When dis covered the flames had completely enveloped the building, and it was evident to all that any attempt to save it would prove furtile. Adjoin ing this building was the carriage and harness shop of Mr. W. S. Wattles, and in a few min utes it was likewise in flames. Revival.—A revival is iu progress at the Bap tist Church of Quitman. Much interest is man ifested, a number have united themselves with the church, and six were baptised on Wednes day evening. , Superior Court.—The adjourned term of Brooks Superior Court will commence on next Tuesday, the 17th instant.

The Plant by which the Empress Carlottd Be came Insane—Gen. Lesca also Poisoned.' By telegraphio dispatches it appears that Gen. Lesca has been poisoned. It is uncertain whe ther the deed was perpetrated by some one of the insurgents or by some Spaniard who feared that Lesca was using too much clemency towayd the Cuban forces. Certain it is that Lesca has been poisoned, and that his mind has become sadly injured. The probability is that he will live, but become insane. The decoction by which he has been thrown in this sad flight, it is certain, was the same by which the interest ing widow of the unfortunate -Maximilian was thrown from the domain of reason into, the depths of lunacy. To us this unfortunate widow has always appeared like Shakespeare’s Ophelia, who, with darkened mind, strewed flowers on the stream. This poison, which maddens without bringing death to its victim, is derived from an herb which grows in Cuba, South America and a few places in Mexico. This plant is one of the most wonderful of nature’sproductfons. It resembles the century plant in many of its features. Like the century plant, it is a member of the cactus family; stfll further, it blooms once in many years and at regular intervals. The bnd is large, and resembles that of tbe horse-chestnut in the peculiar gluten surrounding it. From this the native derive the poison. Tho flower is of a gigantic size, and contains a purple centre, surrounded by blue and white circles. The perfume is delicious, but deadly, and the natives shun approach as the sailors of the old songs of the sirens. To inhale is sweet, but to remain is death. Tho sorcerers, or medi cine men, take the buds of this singular plant, and, first roasting, place them in a pot .with sweet oil over a fire, and dance around with strange ceremonies till the oil and juice of the herb mingle, when they cease their strange in cantations and pour the decoction, then resemb ling honey, into shallow plates, from which, af ter the lapse of a few days, it is again taken and kept in miniature jars. The poison, when taken in sufficient quantity, first places the brain in a delightful delirium’, resembling fusil oil; this is succeeded, in a few days, by an uncontrollable apathy, which at last culminates in insanity, in which the patient is at times strangely rational, then wildly insane, and again rational, but greatly exhilarated. This poison is not destroyed by being mingled in victuals before being subjected to heat, but its immediate effects are somewhat deadened. They are sure to appear, however, in the lapse of time. This is the manner in which the poi son is generally administered. When the victim is of no great influence, and it is improbable that be can turn upon his pois oner, the decoction is administered in a glass of wine or a cup of cocoa. The poison manifests itself shortly, and in the course of a week all the various phases of the delirium appear. The sad tale of the Empress Cariotta is known to all, but this description of the poison, from what it is derived, and how it acts, may add in forming a more correct appreciation of the horrible troubles to which she is subject. Gen. Lesca has been poisoned by the same herb, and is now subject to the same freaks of insanity as tho Empress Cariotta. j. 1 ’T Affairs in Dalton.—The Citizen of the 12th 8iys the com crop will fall short, owing to early drought, but late com is flourishing.

Mtss L. Harris A correspondent of a Philadelphia paper thus speaks of a prolonged totality: “Few peo ple trouble themselves to think wbat the effect would be if the eclipse of Saturday were to last any length of time, and the sun were blotted from the heavens. Philosophy declares that not only would a horror of darkness cover the earth, but the moisture of tho air would be pre cipitated in vast showers to the earth, and the temperatnre fall to a fearful point of cold- nothing less than two hundred and thirty de gress below zero, Fahrenheit. The earth would, be the seat of darkness and more than Arctic desolation. Nothing oould survive such freez ing cold a moment, more than one could breathe in scalding water, lh three dayB after the cool ing process began, nothing created would be alive but the monsters that wallow in deep ocean, and the eyeless retiles that make their haunts in caves which penetrate far under ground.” > •’ A cashierof a bank out West adopted a >new combination for the vault lock, and was taken sick with the typhoid fever.

Tom Maloney, both engineers, we under stand. The statement of Bostock is, that he and Ma loney had a previous difficulty, and went to this spot to settle it. When they arrived on the ground Maloney proposed to measure off the gronnd, but Bostock suggested that they lay aside their pistols. Maloney, it is said, fired twice at Bostock before the latter returned the fire. Several shots were interchanged. Bostock was wounded in the calf of the leg, and Maloney abont five inches below the right nipple. Maloney’s wound is considered fatal. Of tbe extent of the injuries received we cannot definitely report until we hear from the attending snrgeon, Dr, Lou Orrne. Maloney came from Chattanooga originally, and has a wife and a small family of children. Bostock came from Columbus, and is noted as the bosom friend of Ashbum, and is the Mag istrate who issued the warrants against the Co lumbus prisoners. Both parties are reported to be strong “Rads.” Of the origin of the difficulty we could not gain any definite information. The statement of Maloney, should he be able to make any, will probably throw new light on this matter. [Atlanta Constitution, I3t7i. From Clinch, Pierce, Appling anil Ware'.

Editor South Georgia Times: Having recent ly, on a special occasion, made a trip from this place to the Altamaha, through Ware, Pierce and Appling counties, and as some observations maybe of interest, you will confer a favor if yon can find space in your valuable paper for this communication. Crops in this and Ware counties are first rate generally. In Pierce and Appling they are not so good—having suffered much in many places for want of rain and from severe storms. Sir. Berry Henderson’s house, of Pierce county, has been partially stripped twice this year, and most of the fences and green timber in tbe vicinity were blown down. Crops, shade and fruit trees in that and other localities were much injured. The Macon and Brunswick railraoad is being pushed forward rapidly. The citizens along its line are in high spirits and pretty full of money. Most of them whose land ares crossed by it are expecting or trying to get a depot.

This event may reasonably be construed as a confirmation of the rumor that the Emperor connived at what is called the “es cape” from Paris of Don Carlos, in the hope and full expectation that by the aid of informa tion furnished by tbe French police he will very soon be extinguished, and that the commotion caused by bis attempted civil war will afford an opportunity for a restoration in the person of the Prince of Asturias. The Duke of Montpen- sier or a republic would be equally distasteful to the Tuileries. The combination which tbe Em peror leans to is the abdication of Isabella and the enthronement of her son, with his uncle Don Henry de Bourbon, for Regent. ■ ■ ■ ■ t » ■ ■ Acting Post-master General Earle has closed a contract with Captain Peter La Rose for week ly steamship service from Savannah, Georgia, by Sapelo, Darien, Frederica, Brunswick Court house, Satilla Mills, Saint Marys, Fernandina, Mayport Mills, and Yellow Bluff to Jacksonville, Florida, at $7,SOO per annum, to take effect July 1,1SC9.

A Novel Plan to Kill the Cotton Caterpil lar.—A correspondent of the Savannah Repub lican, writing from Madison, Fla., has the fol lowing concerning a newly discovered plan to destroy the caterpillar on the cotton plant: “A photographist, by name McCallum, I be lieve from Tennessee, experimented while here upon his theory of killing caterpillars. He, to gether with a few citizens, visited the fields of 13. M. McCoy, Inglis and Thomas, used his va por with so much success that he intends pat enting his invention. “A strong solution of chemicals are thrown upon the plant, killing the caterpillar immedi ately, with no injurious effects to the plant nor to the laborers in the field. He is willing, he says, to inhale the vapor himself for an hour. “The plants that he operated upon are not dead, but on the contrary are free from cater pillar. He has been studying his plan for three years, and has just had an opportunity of test ing its feasibility. He intends visiting Wash ington, and I leam he offered a half interest for §300, but did not get a bidder. He left us last week. Citizens who witnessed his operation pronounce it ajsuccess. It is to be hoped that lie will have machines, small though they may be, made immediately, as he estimates that one hand can destroy the caterpillar on ten acres of ground daily. The first public marriage of a Hindoo widow is noted in India. The Bombay Gazette, of June 22, says: “A marriage of peculiar interest to some sections of tbe Hindoo community, was celebrated at tbe Gowalia house of the Rao Ba- hadoor Moroba Canoba, last Tuesday evening. The bridegroom was Mr. Venayek Karmerker, a teacher; the bride was Venn Bai, widowed sister of Mr. Waman Prabhaket, both of the Chitpawun section of the Brahmin Paranjpey caste, and, we are told, ‘‘respectably bom and situated’—and the ceremony derived its interest from tbe circumstance that it was the first pub lic marriage of a Hindoo widow, and that it took place nnder tbe auspices of tbe Hindoo Widow Marriage Association, and in the presence of numerous spectators, including several Euro peans.” GEORGIA MUTUAL FIRE ANO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

I write to the postmaster at St Petersburg asking him to send me a Russian postage stamp to pay for a letter from Moscow to Paris. Then I put this stamp upon a letter which I had written to the fair one, in which I say that Hirgent business compels me to pass the next seventeen years out of France.’ This I send to the postmaster at Moscow, with the re quest that he will drop it in the mail, and the thing is done.” “There is a much simpler way than that. I write to my lady, ‘I know all.— Adieu. ’ In twenty cases out of twenty-five there is something to know. At any rate it has always been successful in my case.” Madamb Dora d’Istbia writes as follows on the woman question: “It will be with the po litical status of woman as with that of the col ored race. The gravest objections might no doubt have been urged against the latter. Physi ology, politics and history supplied specious ar guments to their opponents. But when certain currents are once formed in the public mind, they end by sweeping away all obstacles, even those that were regarded as impregnable. This is sufficiently exemplified by the progress of universal suffrage. Thirty years ago this was regarded all over Europe as a vain illusion, un worthy the consideration of a thoughtful states man. Nevertheless, it has already made suffi cient conquests in Western Europe to justify the prediction that Eastern Europe, too, will be obliged to adopt it.” The revenue from tobacco in three districts in Virginia, from February , to August 1st, is over §1,000,000 in excess of the receipts for the corresponding timo last year. The New Bedford Standard says a lady in that city recently appeared in church neatly dressed in calico, and concludes that it would not be dangerous to lend the husband of such a woman money. On Monday Morning, J. D. Enos, the negro whom Cressell appointed post-master at Valdos ta, took possession of the books, records, etc., of the office. A Terror or a Comet.—-For ten years astron omers have predicted a comet that would appear in the months of July, August and September of this year. They assert that it will approach near the earth than any comet has ever done heretofore, and that one or the other will have to give the road, or a collision will occnr. They also assert this to be the veritable com et that preceeded the bloody civil wars in Greece, and was followed by a terrible conta gion that swept off more than half the inhabi tants of the earth. One of the most fashionable young ladies at Nabant wears a hat which cost only ten cents, and the trimming she had in the house. She is unmarried, and comes from Boston. At Lyndon, Vermont, a few days since, a tame dove flew into the Congregational Church during prayer time, and perched upon the clergyman’s head. A Western woman, in advertising her run away husband, says: “David has a scar on his nose where I scratched it.” A Saratoga belle wears $17,000 worth of diamonds when she dresses up.

The reputation this ex. cellent medicine enjoys, is derived from its cures, many of which arc of a truly marvellous char- seter. Inveterate cases of Scrofula, where th* system' seemed utterto given, up to corruption, have yielded to this com pound of anti-strumous virtues. Disorders of a scrofulous type, and af- _ fections which are merely aggravated by the presence of scrofulous matter, have been radically cured in such numerous m- Btances, in every settlement in the country, that the public do not need to be informed here that It is in most cases a specific and absolute remedy. Scrofulous poison is one of tho most destructive enemies of our race. Often, tins unseen and unfelt tflnMt of the organism undermines the constitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seem3 to breed infection throughout the body, and Into one or mher ofllstedeoulMiK^Ye^^fteB surface or amonsr the vitals. In the latter, tuber- cles mav be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in tho liver. These fact3 make the occasional use of tho Sarsaparilla as a preventive, advisable. . ’ It is a mistake to suppose that so long as no erup tions or humors appear, there must be no scrofulous taint. Theso forms of derangement may never occur, and yet the vital forces of the body be so re duced br Us subtle agency, as materially to impair the health and shorten tho duration of life. It is a common error, also, that scrofula is strictly neredi- tarv. It does, indeed, descend from parent to child, but is also engendered in persons bom of pure blood. Low living, indigestion, foul air, licentious habits, uncleanliness, ana the depressing vices gen erally, produce it. Weakly constitutions, where not fortified by the most constant and judicious care, are peculiarly liable to it. Yet tho robust, also, whose turbidblood swells tho veins with anappar- ently exuberant vitality, are often contaminated, and on the road to its consequences. Indeed, no class or condition can depend on immunity from it, nor feel insensible to the importance of an effec tual remedy. _ _ _ , , In St. Anthony’s Fire, Bose or Erysipelas, for Tetter, Salt Bhcum, Scald Head, Bing- teorm, Sore Ears and Eyes, and other eruptive or visible forms of tho diseases caused primarily by the scrofulous infection, the SarsaparUlais so ef ficient as to bo indispensable.

The sarsaparilla root of the tropics does not by itself achieve these results. It Is aided by the ex tracts combined with it, of still greater power.. So potent is this union of healing virtues, Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it though a lone timo is required for subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine. Zeucorrhcea or Whites, Vtcrine Ulcerations, and Female Diseases in general, are commonly-soon relieved and ultimately cured by the invigorating and puri fying effect of our Sarsaparilla. Bheumatism and Gout, often dependent on the accummationsof extraneous matters in the blood, have their remedy also in this modicine. For Direr Complaints, torpidity, inflammation, abce33, etc., caused by rankling poisons In tho blood, We unhesitatingly recommend the Sarsaparilla.
