Interior Africa.
The vast iraet of country which forms the south-
rtion of the Eastern hemisphere is still, to a
-jl extent, the “unknown land.” In the geo
' .[ihii-al studies of our school days, it has, here
been assigned hut a small space, both teach
. and pupil being disposed to leave it to those
, tastes would incline them to linger amid its
■?:iiig sands, its dark jungles ami its barbarous
■pie. We read of its classic, and once
■ ii rivers, its immense deserts, its fierce tigers,
. ,ike<l savages, and imagine that we have learn
ed’Africa alt that is worth knowing. Thanks
the achievements of the colonization cause, i:
been discovered that the interior of Africa
wains other objects of interest than wild beasts
ud unclad negroes. Until recently it was aup
_,sed that only those who dwelt upon the coasts
anything of civilization, intelligence and the
life, and that the inhabitants of nie interi
-irere ignorant, rude and superstitious. This
apression is found to be wholly unfounded. The
imlation of Central Africa proves, as research
ceeds, to be, not only more numerous, but in
. rv respect much superior to that on the coast,
ui the superiority characterises also the physical
: itures of the region. Theclimateismoreagrec

kingdoms of Yoruba, N’uti, Gamburd, House and

■•-tie Nile, swarm with people, and can boast of

a writer, speaking of the city of ljaye with its

it streams of living beings, perhaps ten thousand

■'clock until night, the roads are almost thronged
with people on their return home. Yearly everv

either to be carried home or to the market. I
"mid suppose that at least one thousand bushels

Founded upon the eternal principles of truth '
and justice, with the Constitution for its guide, the :
prosperity and perpetuity of the Union for its aim, ,
the Democratic party has so far retained its integ- |
rity unspotted and its power unbroken. It is now,
as it was in the days of old, the friend of civil and
religious freedom, the friend of the people, and
the advocate of the great and simple truths which
'he Constitution imbodies. Prejudiced against no
section of our common country—pledged to the
support of no measure that does not insure equal
and exact justice to all—enlisted, not in the cause
f men, but in defence of principles—it will enter
the coming contest with the same consciousness of
the final triumph of its cause which cheered it in
t inner struggles—the consciousness that it is the
cause of truth and justice. With the Constitution j
it arose, with the Constitution it has lived, and to- ;
gether with the Constitution it will die. The one
cannot survive the other. Without the Constitu
tion, the Democratic party would be broken up ; I
without the Democratic party, the Constitution i
would become in a day the foot-ball of fanatism. j

Tsekexdops Freshet. — On Monday night and
1 aesJav morning last, occurred one of the most
‘ ■-■tniotire freshets in this country within our re- I
collection. The rain commenced falling early on
Sunday morning. All day Monday it continued to
:iu >n moderate showers until night set in, when
*’ seemed that the floodgates of Heaven were
opened, and it poured in torrents the night long,
accompanied with lightning and thunder; but
with very little if any wind. By Tuesday morn- |
I; ig, the rivulets and smaller water courses were
up and far out of their banks. The two Bigbies
■md Lick Creek. West of Columbia, are said to have
>cen higher, perhaps, than ever before known. An |
immense deal of damage was done upon and along
Uie borders of those streams. We have heard of
not less than four bridges upon them having been
''ashed off. The Methodist Church, a frame 1
adding, in the \\ ebster neighborhood, and near
'■ ie Dike leading from Columbia to Hampshire,
was lifted up and swung round from its foundu
u. Ail the farms lying along the streams above
Coken ot have been stripped of their feuciug, and
immense quantities of rails been swept off entire- 1
iy out of reach. Some have been so much dam
aged as to make it very doubtful whether thev will
not have to give up their crops. The rains
seemed to be general, and we should not be sur
prised to hear of damage to farmers in all sec
tions of Maury count) - .
I'mce writing the above, we understand that
every bridge and every mill on Fountain Creek,
tn>m head to mouth, have been carried off by this
treshet. We have not time to enter fully into the
particulars of the great damage done by it in this
tftniaty. —Columbia Mirror,

THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
Washington, May lo.—The Senate did not sit
1 to-dav.
House. — Mr. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, made a
i long personal explanation in support of the posi
tion he took ott the slavery question during the
j contest, and whilst he was a candidate for the
speakership at the commencement of the session
and also defined the position he held now, and that
| heretofore held by him on that question.
! \ lr - Tl>lld < of Pennsylvania, replied to a portion
j of his colleague’s remarks, and explained that he
i baf * voted for him when a candidate for Speaker
; under the supposition that he was an anti-Nebras-
I ka man, as he represented an anti-Nebraska dis
trict, and his record gave everv assurance of the
fact. As soon, however, as the gentleman explain-
I ea his position he had withdrawn his support from
Mr Jones, of Pennsylvania, gave notice that he
would reply at length to the remarks of his col
! .n' le Stiller as soon as thev appeared in
: print. J 11
i Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, interrogated Mr. Ful
! ler as to various inconsistencies in his record and
! speech, which the latter gentleman attempted to
explain ; but before having had a full opportunitv
| to do so, 1 r
Mr. Lindley, of Missouri, moved that the House
! adjourn; which motion was negatived.
NEW MEXICO CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
j The House then resumed the consideration of
: the motion of Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, to recon
sider the vote by which the resolution authorizing
i the parties in the New Mexico contested election
case to appear before the House and defend their
respective claims, either in person or by counsel
I was rejected.
Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, moved the previous ques
tion ; which was seconded, and main question was
j ordered to be put.
Mr. Carlile, of Virginia, moved to lay the mo
tion to reconsider on the table, which was agreed
to—ayes <is, nays 54.
The report of the committee in the case was
then laid upon the table,and ordered to he printed.
And then, at three o’clock, ihe House adjourned.
Effect of the Late Flood.
The disasters caused by the late Hoods in the
counties South of us can hardly he exaggerated.
In Giles county, especially, the damage caused is
immense, and altogether unprecedented. Rich
land Creek and its tributaries rose several feet
higher than was ever before known, sweeping to
destruction stock of all kinds, particularly hogs,
cattle and sheep, whilst the stripping plantations
of rails and farm buildings appear to he minor ca
lamities. One man lost two hundred head of
sheep, and the injury caused by the washing awav
of the soil can be hardly estimated. Nearly everv
small bridge on the turnpike from Columbia to
Elkton has been carried away, the two bridges
over Richland Creek barely escaping. It is un
derstood that numbers of mills have been destrm -
ed.
Kilt the most melancholy result occurred at Lynn
ville, situated on the Turnpike road, about fourteen
miles North of Pulaski.
Lynn creek, running through the town, rose to
such a height on Tuesday morning, and so sudden
ly* as to destroy almost without warning a house
occupied by a man named Richardson, situated in
the lower part of the village, within some twenti
feet of the main load. The building was crushed
in a few moments, the father and mother finding i
themselves with an infant drifting down the angry I
torrent, two other children having perished in bed ,
at the time the house fell. After Heating with the ]
wreck about three-quarters of a mile, the whole
family lodged against a tree, the father severely '■
injured, the three children dead, and the mother !
so jammed amongst the drift, as with the best of- i
torts of tile husband, barely able to keep her head
above the roaring waters.
In this condition they were discovered a little j
alter daylight, and heroically rescued by a voiuc
mail named Isaac Kearden, who swam his horse l<> :
the spot, declaring his intention to “save them or
perish in the attempt.” Others finally aided him
in the generous endeavor. Such noble conduct
needs no eulogy, it is an honor to human nature.
It is reported that an overseer and a negro man
have perished in the same neighborhood. Alto
gether, the visitation has no parallel in the history
of that region since its settlement.— Banner.
Post Otiice Addresses.
The blunders of tiie Post Office are frequently
enough occurring, but the Post Otiice sometimes
gets the benefit of blunders of which it was never
guilty. Ihe Dead Letter Otiice at Washington is
not tilled altogether by the carelessness "of the
subordinates of the Post Master General. The
carelessness of those who put matter in the mail
has almost as much to do with it. If a letter is
misdirected, the Post Otiice is not going to hunt
up the proper direction, and how often letters are
sent on wild goose chases by persons who utter
grievous complaints about it afterwards, the clerks
in this department of Uncle Sam’s business only
know. The story of the Irishman who thought
the address to liis “brother in Amerikv,” suffi
ciently specific, is no fable. Blunders quite as un
reasonable are continually repeated. One of the
commonest of them is to "write illegibly, or entire
ly omit in the address the name ot the State. In
the latter case, like the gender of a verb with two
nominatives agreeing with the most worthy, the
letter is generally, but not always, presumed to
belong to the Slate in which it is mailed; in the
former, it may travel abont till it is delivered
up to the flames in Washington. To show the
necessity of the most explicit direction of matter
which is to be entrusted to the mail, a glance at a
list of the Post Offices in the United States, and
the numbers of the same name, will be sufficient.
Taking our illustrations from such as are found in
our owu State of South Carolina, and it will be
seen that:
There are 12 Charlestons; in Columbias; the

There is nothing in the peculiarity of the name,
which will confine it to a single State; for theto
are 9 Calhouns ; 3 McCounellsvilles ; 3 Travellers’

j Reheboths. There is a Shop Spring in Arkansas,
as well as in Newberry; a Poverty Hill in Georgia,

: Pennsylvania, us well as in Fairfield; aUentsville,
i in Florida, as well as in Abbeville, and a Gum

; The conclusion is that it is better to write the
full address of every letter in a very plain hand.
Charleston Standard.
Senator Benjamin - . —The Cincinnati Enquirer
speaks of the late speech of this gentleman as
follows:
“An Accession. —Senator Benjamin, of Louisiana,
has declared his full and cordial adherence to the
Democratic party. His speech in the Senate on
the Kansas question was one of the ablest, deliver
ed on the subject.
“We doubt if there ts an abler or more accom
plished man for his age in the Union than this
gentleman. Though barely forty, he has long
since attained the foremost rank as one of the
ablest lawyers in the United States. Ilis profes
sional practice at this time is equal, if not great
er, than that of any lawyer in the country. His
versatility is remarkable! With learning and ac
complishments i f the highest order he unites the
most fascinutingi fluency and elegance as a speaker.
He is equally a master of details, of the practical
duties of his profession, and of the higher range
of logic and eloquence. His knowledge embraces
almost every department, and his tact, activity and
quickness are equal to his erudition.”
T RIB PTE TO THE I.ATE GeOROE M. TROUP.—The
Chatham Artillery, under command of Captain
Ward, paraded yesterday under circumstances pe
culiarly solemn, their appearance being in pursu
ance oii' a resolution setting apart a day for appro
priate testimonials of respect for the late Geo. M.
Troup, who was an honorary member of the corps.
The ranks were full, and in addition to the regular
members, a large number of our oldest and wor
thiest citizens, whose names are enrolled as hono
r iry members, participated in the ceremonies of
the occasion. These latter bore along with them
the old brass field-piece tlat was presented to the
company by General Washington.
The ranks being formed, the corps proceeded to
the Park, where minute guns, to the number of
seventv-six, were fired in honor of the illustrious
dead.— . Sir. Hep., May 13.
A cratocs reason for committing suicide.— -Mr.
Elias Workman, living in Holmes county, Ohio,
committed suicide on Sunday morning last by
hanging himself with a bridle. It is saia he had
lately been elected assessor of the township, and
, given a heavy bond. Fearing he was not lit for the
oflice, and to avoid the mortification of being
laughed at, lie rose in the morning at four o’clock,
j an< * " - ent to the barn and hanged himself.
The l reshet.— I The recent freshet has doubtless
injured the corn and cotton to a considerable ex
tent. It is said that in many fields and places half
j 'in. seec *. an d growing crop has been washed up.
the late rains seem to have been general, as all
the rivers from which we have heard, are now at a
nigh .stage of water.
The Cumberland is still rising here. Should it
continue to do so until the mountain rise reaches
this point, such an inundation will take place as
has not been known for years. The bottoms or
fiats about the city are, wo are informed, already
from four to six feet under water. The Sulphur
Spring, to use the expression of a waggish
friend, is several feet “in the miz.”
AasheiUe Gazette, Mnj 0.
Instinct. Mr. Putnam, of the Adams’ Express
Co., some eighteen or twenty months since,
brought to Li is residence on‘Floyd and Main
streets, two tine partridges. These he kept and
fed attentively until last spring—one year ago—
when they were taken to the country and set free,
about two miles from Middletown and ten miles
from the city. During the intensely cold weather
of the past winter these birds returned to the city
and sought the residence of their former kind pro
tector. One bleak wintry day Mr. Putnam was
astonished by a rapping at his window, and found,
upon investigation, the two partridges seeking an
entrance- lie instantly recognized them as his
old friends by peculiar marks upon their bodies.
Os course, he could but take them in and treat
them kindly. They are now habitues of his
grounds, “circulating” promiscuously among the
fowls and making themselves at home within and
without doors. We have never, in the course of
our reading, met with a more striking instance
of the development of instinct. It appears, in
deed, beyond belief, that a couple of partridges
released from a cage, twelve miles from the place
where they were confined, should, after a lapse of
nearly two years, return totheir old home—driven
there by the pangs of hunger and cold.

California Emigration.— There is said to be
quite a tide of emigration, setting from California
to the Gadsden territory, attracted by its known
mineral resources, and particularly of copper. The
developments of this metal, and in almost a pure

extraordinary.
Novel Law-suit.— The First Dutch Reformed
Church of Jersey City, has sued Mr. Welch, the

it lias cost $25,000. Hence the suit.

Augusta Market, May 13, 1 I*. M.
COTTON.—Our market is very inactive, and no
disposition exists, on the part of buyers or sellers,
to come to terms. While the range of prices are
from 9 to 11 cents, we cannot venture upon quota
tions for particular classifications. The full rivers
in the West will greatly facilitate the forthcoming
of the balance of the crop to market, and we may
reasonably look for liberal receipts of cotton at
New Orleans and Mobile, for some weeks to come,
provided the cotton iias not already been received
at those ports. The best evidence that there is but
little to come, will be in meagre receipt* during
the balance of this month. The present depressed
condition of the cotton trade, in this country, is
measurably in consequence of the receipts in the
West being so continuously heavier than was an
ticipated, and also from the very slight advance in
prices in Europe which followed the declaration of
peace. Without waiting for a healthy resumption
of trade, which could not have resulted until com
mercial confidence and business relations were re
stored, the markets iu this country gave wav, and
as a necessary result, we may expect the dullness
of the markets of the United States reflected back
to us from Liverpool in subsequent arrivals.
BUSINESS. - -Without activity in business, there
have been steady and satisfactory transactions in
every department of trade, if we except the cotton
market. The large and well selected stocks of
groceries, staple and fancy dry goods, hardware
and cutlery, ready-made clothing, hats and caps,
boots and shoes, leather, harness and saddles,
crockery and china ware, furniture, carriages and
buggies, and the almost endless assortment of
goods offered for sale by our dealers, to consumers
and the trade, have attracted more than ordinary
attention the past season, and the daily accessions
to tlieir stocks, bear ample testimony to the extent
of trade enjoyed.
DRY GOODS.—Stocks of Dry Goods are in
good supply, both in Fancy and Staple articles.
The semi-weekly line of steamers from New Y'ork
to Charleston and Savannah, gives great facility
in receiving supplies for this market, (Goods being
frequently received in four and a half days from
New Y ink.) and our merchants, by availing them
selves of these facilities, are amply provided with
the choicest articles of the season. Wo hope our
friends from the country, this week, will loose no
time in making tlieir selections of Spring Silks,
French Muslins, Bareges, Crape Muretz, Bonnots,
Mantillas, Embroideries, and the more substantial
staples, as they will all be offered at ven* low
prices. Our merchants go for the quick penny,
rather than the slow sixpence, and from close com
petition, they sell at a very small advance on New
j Y'ork cost. The tendency of Staple and Heavy
i Goods is to advance in price, influenced, no doubt,
| by the high price of the raw material and the nd
; vance of Cotton Y'artis and Goods in Manchester,
j Augusta Shirtings are now 7 (fts% cents l»v the
I live bales ; Osnaburgs of the Richmond and Au
j gusta Manufacturing Company, 10 cents; Georgia
1 Stripes, llj>£ cents.
HEADY MADE CLOTHING.—The large and
seasonable supply of ready-made garments, which
are weekly received by our dealers, embracing all
the modern and approved styles, have never been
more ample than at present, nor offered at more
satisfactory prices, it is very doubtful whether
similar goods can he bought lower, in any market
in the country, than in Augusta.
HATS, CAPS, BONNETS & FANCY GOODS,
The most fastidious taste can certainly be gratified,
by looking through the varied styles and textures
in our market, and the low prices which prevail
Merchants from the interior almost universally - pre
fer to make their purchases in this market, in con
sequence of the large stocks of hats, bonnets and
fancy goods which can always be found here.
HARDWARE, IRON, Ac.—Recent European
Circulars report a firm market for Iron and Hard
ware, as well as for Tin. In this market, we quote
for Swede Iron to 54 for ordinary sizes, and
from G to 64 for extras ; Refined, fine English, 4
to 4}; English merchant bars to 4 cents. Tin
Plates IC $12.50 and IX $14.25 $ box. Nails 44
to 4; ! 4 for 4d. to God., and for 3d. 5% to fi cents.
The stocks are very good, and the spring trade has
been active.
COFFEE.—The stock of Rio Coffee is large, and
we quote llje 1,1 12 for common, prime 12,4 1° 13,
Laguavra 13, and Java lfi to 17 cents.
SUGAR.—In this article we have no change to
notice. Fair New Orleans and Porto Rico 8% to
9Ja; choice Brown 10 to 104 ; Refined 10%, 11,4
and 11;4 for A, B and C ; Crushed 12 cents.
MOLASSES.—The stock of both Cuba and New
Orleans is rather small, the latter has an upward
tendency. Cuba 35 to 36, New Orleans 48 to 55c.
RICE.—44 ,0 3 cents.
MACKEREL.—No. 3, $7.50; No. 2, $13.00; No.
1, $22.00.
RAISINS, bunch, $3.50.
SALT.—We hear of none for sale on the wharf.
In store it is selling from $1.25 to $1.50, according
, to quantity.
BAC ON.—We find a good stock of Bacon on the
market, with a fair demand. City cured, hog round
i cents ; hams and sides 13, and shoulders 11 •
for Tennessee meat 10% cents, hog round. There
is an ample supply of well cured Western Bacon
:on the market, which sells from 2% to 1 1 1; cents •
some of this meat is put up in water-tight pack
ages. and will keep free from skippers all the season*
While the supply of meat is large, there is no pro
bability that there will be any material change in
prices the present season.
CORN.— This commodity is about as low in price
in Augusta, as it is likely it can be. We heard of
a large sale last week at 55 cents, but the ordinary
sales in small lots are made at 60 cents, and at re
tail 65 cents. The stock is good.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
UNLOOKED FOR TESTIMONY.
TO DYSPEPTICS. —Says the “ Spirit of
the Age lt is not an insignificant fact
rather an important one—and indicative of the
long promised “good time coming,” that we have,
with increasing frequency, additions from the ranks
of regularly educated physicians to the number of
those who have humanly come forward and inter
posed between the Patent Medicine Quacks and
their innumerable dupes throughout the country.
Ttie evils which have resulted from the success of
a few persons in this line, is, we believe, incalcula
ble. Husts of venal imitators—groveling pander
er.s to their own base passions, avarice, and a pru
rient ambition, have sprung up on every side and
Hooded the country with foul decoctions, disguised
by their inodorousness and bad taste, proclaiming
them universal Panaceas for all diseases.
This subject has not hitherto failed to at tract the
| attention of philanthropists, and if it did not re
! ceive that attention which it so evidently demand
ed, it was because no available means for its sup
pression presented themselves. A remedy is, how
ever, now being applied to the evil, which will not
only abate it, but, finally, and we hope, ere long,
exterminate it.
Regular medical practitioners are now placing
their best prescriptions in a popular form before
the public—thus affording the advantages of their
skill and science without the usual consulting fee
in those disorders of ascertained characters, and
which may be treated on known principles. We
hope that accessions to the number of those physi
cians who prefer to seek the sick and heal them
rather than repose in dignified retirement of the
profession, waiting “a call,” will increase until the
whole race of humbugs are extant, and people be
assured that a popular medicine is really worth the
wrapper that envelopes it—a rather uncertain mat
ter with some of the nostrums that are now afloat.
We were led into these remarks by a conversa
tion which wo just have had with a gentleman—a
friend, who for years had been a sufferer from
Dyspepsia. We knew him once cheerful, robust
and healthy—and, again, from the effects of this
health-destroying disorder, emaciated, crabbed,
and miserable. Whilst noticing, agreeably, a
great change wrought within a few weeks in his
appearance and manner, he, as if divining our
thoughts, asked if we did not think he was im
proving, and proceeded to tell us of the wonderful
properties and great value as a remedy, of
“BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.” Bliss Hum
bug 1 cried we. But a letter from a lady in New
York recommended our friend to try, as lie ex
pressed it, this Blissful remedy, and his serious
ness in attesting liis restoration to health, being
owing to its use, our doubts vanished, and we de
termined to give our readers the advantage of our
friend’s experience in a short paragraph] Should
this meet the eve of Dr. Bliss, No. 20, Beekman
street, New York, whom we don’t know from
Adam, he will accept our thanks, as the medium
of restoring to us a friend, estranged by disease,
in tlw health and cheerfulness of disposition in
which we formerly knew him.
As we have not noticed in any of our exchanges
mention of this remedy, we would sav to Dr. 8.,
place your discovery within ihe reach of all—ad
vertise- let your light shine, even though it may
not be reflected in the “ Spirit of the Age.” * l

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.

Improvements.
rgtms article compare favora
.l blv with any of like character ~3BSS
in the known world.
1 tiud that by putting it in the form Sf
of a Soap it gives it a decided advan gSlp
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure I’lcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles,
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvv, Sore
Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dcntritice to the teeth. For.shaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and
curing such sores as may bo on the face.
1 n the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy us above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like humbuggerv, I
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial,'not
doubting they will then declare this to be the ne
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

ing ; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of
the glands, and is the best, medicine for ailments
ot cattle ever discovered, curing sweenv, spavins,
splint, and all diseases which require an internal
application.

Farrell's Arabian Liniment.
Mr. 11. G. Farrei.l —Dear Sir: I had been af
flicted with the “Sun Pain” for the last ten years,
and could never get relief except by bleeding; but
hy the use ot 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment,
applied over the temples about three or four times
a day, it was entirely removed, and 1 have felt
nothing of it since. I went into the stable one
night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being
very lame lie stumbled and fell against my legs,
crushing and bruising them so badly that thev
turned hlaek as my hat, rendering them powerless.
I upplied your Liniment, and was well enough ina
few days to go about again as usual. 1 also crushed
my finger in a shocking manner, by letting a bark,
log fall upon it; your Liniment soon healed it up
though. ' JOHN B. M’GKK.
LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6, 1846,
[/:•>■(/. Parker, of New Canton, 111., says; )
Mr. li. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment lias cured
some had cases here, which every other remedy
had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con
tracted cords in the leg of a hov twelve years old.
The leg had withered away, and was so contracted
that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried
their skill upon it in vain, and he was fast sinking
to the. grave, when the hoy’s father was induced to
try 1L G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before tin
first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store
and the first words he said were, “Mr. Barker I
want all that Liniment you have in the store- tile
otm bottle I got did my hoy more good than all’that
had ever been done before.” That bov is now well
ami hearty, and has free use of his leg*. It is 0,„,j
for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swelling.”
