England and Nicaragua.
. ( ynd.n. the eminent Senator from Ken- .
j. „ r -ported by the telegraph to have said in j
that there wiil be war with England '
Hi ten days after the intelligence is received !
ilie recognition at Washington of the Re- i
:r of Nicaragua, under its present rulers. We i
econfess our doubts whether that discreet and
need statesman has uttered anything quite
, . rung in expression to indicate his belief that }
.j will bring usiuto hostile relations with the
A; but it is not to be disputed that an impres
—.-rails very widely that we are drifting into
. : in, in respect to Central American affairs,
’-re collision with Great Britain is all but in-!
■jble: and some see in the recognition of Ni- !
aiii.i the point at which the breach between the
Governments must infallibly be made,
are so obtuse as not to be able to under- i
how the countenance we have decided to
i the new republic, by admitting her claim j
.rank among existing States, alters our rela- '
■i towards any other Government whatever. J
' Sod a State under an organized Government, ;
is acquiesced in as completely by the in- i
ints as that of the Emperor Napoleon is In j
-oplo of France; or that of King Bomba, of j
_i, by his subjects ; or that of Pope Pius tin
.3, -*s temporal sovereign of Rome, supported
French and Austrian baronets. We hare not I •
nred whether either of these monarehs—the {
ire of force or foreigu help being removed—
j kee,) his throne by the free will of his sub

salting nations, we treat them as the rulers <L •
li.*? Rivas Government in Nicaragua is a
irlr esta.niShed in fact as <-ither of tlies.-. ,
. •is less opposition to it among those ovei
ait rules, than there is in the hearts of largt j
~-s of Frenchmen against the hated Bona- !
■ and of Italians against the hateful King o !
. and the secular sway of tile Roman Pon |
On the contrary, the comparison in all re- ;
is as to validity derived from the approval of :

!i"ve that either France or any portion ol i
possesses a Government which would stand j
irrcuce were had freely to the choice of tin I

administration may be foreigu, but they are j
■raved foreigners, acceptable to the natives— ' ‘
in the names of popular natives. i 1
,■ war in which they are engaged is, in fact, « j 1
f the people of Nicaragua in defence of theii ! -
right to govern themselves. It is on the pan 1
ii-invaders an attempt to subvert, in an hide- !
.lent State, the Government which the people 1 '
f sustain and rally to defend. It is a war. ! -
-fire, in which their are no attributes of jus- > J
■ which are not on the side of the invaded and
■;.'.iHt the invader. If there be any force in the ! *•
_ iples bv which all modern governments pro- j
-i *. i he guided, that States contented with their !
rramenLs should be protected against the pro
qandisin which seeks to overthrow them by ex- 1 '
■ml dictation and force, it justifies the imtncdi- ! "
acknowledgement of the authorities now r
-rjigiiag to repulse an invasion which comes j 1

o?Costa Rica “foray" upon Nicaragua. i
In short, there is nothing in the condition of j '

line it an occasion for war “within ten days," oi | (
i irty time thereafter ?
e do not say that she cannot make a case of war. j
are not altogether sure that she may not b j
sposed to interfere m such a manner as to inakt j
-r a probability—nav, even a necessity. It will j j
- al any time, deplorable if such a necessity j
mid come; but there is nothing in the actio: ■
tils American Government which invites or jus- !
oil. It will not follow as the necessary oi 1
'per consequence of any act of ours. It can j
:ly follow from the assertion of pretences winch ! "
r e never could at any time admit; from tho en- (
rciag of doctrines which under ail circumstances
nd at all hazards we must resist; and to pro tec •• i
ghts and interests almost essential to to our na- : ,

ratifying herself with tho avowed causes and i
i .lives for war.
war is one of invasion, the avowed design I
"verthr v the Government of Nicaragua, and j
- motive openly proclaimed is that of drivmp i
' rtL American influence and the North Amori- i
race out of the Isthmus. If England takes j
at ground, with all these incidents and eon- j
' lie- s, and finds the occasion to do so, in the j
agreement of this country to respect Niva- i
•tgua as a .State —an agreement which binds us t< i
:ung more—it will be because she has deter- j
'. and, at all events. i throw hors If across out I
vhway to the Pacific, and believes that tin 1
:ac has come when she must throw off all dis- I
::ises, and cut us off forever, at all costs, by any ;
■ins and with whatsoever’aHiances and influence j
"e can command or subsidize, it will be flagrant, :
sgressive war, for which the recognition of Nica- •
•2 it will be but a bold pretence, and which, it ‘
- -a.iced b> that, is so thoroughly predetermined, i
■i tt it is mil to be avoided, and must come.
Y - this reason, and because we believe the Bri
k Government is not ready for any such extrem- ;
tv of ambitious encivachment, and do not believe j
’fiat it could count upon the support of its own j
rople m such a war, wo do netjshare in the anti
ipatiiins of anv hostile demonstraiion from Eng
•ad. because tie have recognized Nicaragua. And
if we did, it would n >t alter our views of the pro- .
priety of the act. 1 is just and politic, aud lie ]

Wc have already announced that the late Dr.
Warren, of Boston, left particular directions in
: his will for the injection of his body with an ar
senical solution, for a minute p>M inortem exami
nation ; for the preparation of his skeleton, and
for its preservation in the cabinet of the Medical
College. These somewhat unusual provisions have
produced a sensation only less disturbing than the
attempt made last summer by a man at Milwaukee
to burn the body of bis deceased wife.
To compose public sentiment in relation to Dr
w arren’s testament, the following article was con
tributed to the Boston Transcript. We publish it
as an important testimonial of the deceased doc
tor’s devotion to the best interests of his i>rofe«- !
sion;
“There is a ieeling of respect for the dead hu
man body, partly natural, but chiefly the effect ot
-ducati.in and association. It is natural to regard
the homes of our relatives and friends as some
f thing more than masses of inert, insensible, de- I
cay lug matter; and therefore, as entitled to special |
consideration. This feeling of respect, however, i
readily degenerates into superstition; and tht' '
nore readily in proportion to the ignor nee, bar- j
barism, and heathenism of a people. The ideas ol j
i savage nations in regard to a future state would ‘
-eem to justify the superstitious care they take ot !
' .c dead, but to expect, and even to advocate theii
idoption in a community of Christians, whose re
ligion teaches them that the body, when the breath
has departed, is nothing to the enfranchised soul—
s unworthy of this enlightened age.
“ Till within five years, Massachusetts was'the j
mly State in the Union in which the study of prac- i
deal anatomy, by dissections of the human body, I
was legalized. More than twenty years ago Mas- !
saebusetts enacted a law by which the municipal ;
mthorities were directed to furnish bodies, undei
iroper restrictions, to regularly educated citizens;
md its provisions were so judicious that no oppo
sition has ever been made to its execution. This
measure, so creditable to the State, and so lmpor
unt tn the practice of medicine and surgery, was
he result principally of the action of the Staff
Medical Society, prominent among whose active
members was the late Dr. Warren.
“ Public sentiment was at fit at strongly opposed
o mv such law, and it became necessary to edu
•i'c- the people to look with calmness, and after
wards with approval, on what ignorant communi
ies regard with superstitious fears. Among th*
irticles for public reading was one by Dr. Georgi
Hayward, of this city, published in the Nortl
Vmericaut Review for January, 11 ; re-publisliet
• n various forms, this article reached most of tin
families of the commonwealth, and was groatlv
.nstrumental in effecting the remarkable change iit
,iublic opinion on this subject.
“ Dr. Warren was one of the first and stronges
idvocates of this law, and exerted all his povverfu
influence, botli in public and in private, to remove
from the minds of the people their unfounded dis
ipproval of dissections. We recollect hearing
a tin, in a lecture at the Medical College, fourteei
ears ago, lament the lingering unwillingness ii
ue community to allow the free practice of pos
uortem examinations and dissections ; though th
mblic opinion was much changed, it had not ye
ittained the proper view of this subject. To d
ill in ins power to dispel the remaining piejudice
ic stated to ihe medical class that he should leav
uis own body for examination and dissection, am
us own skeleton for preservation in trie Oolleg.
-Museum.
‘ Now, that he is dead, we find that his word
vere not merely empty boasting; and, from pri
■ate murmuriags and public exclamations, that hi.-
ict and example were vet much needed in this city
>f his birth, life and cfeaili. He left his body foi
lissection and his -ikeleton for preservation, n
from any spirit of foolish ostentation, or of any
ireak ol eccentricity, but from a sincere and life
i mg wish to advance the interests of humanity b
giving this unanswerable proof of his belief in the
importance of practical anatomy—without whic!
he great improvements of modern surgery eouh
never have been made, and without which no pro
gress can be hereafter expected. He fought for :
great principle all his life, and at his death provei
its sin.'critv bv the public gift of his own mortal
body.
“ It is not to the credit of any .State claiming ti
enlightened, to look with horror or disfavor oi
bisections, and al the same time to permit heart
damages to he obtained in its courts of law froti
surgeons who hare been led into error from igno
rance of anatomy, which such dissections can atom
remove. A knowledge of anatomy is absolutely
essential to the rational practice of medieine nni
surgery ; it is necessary for the comfort and safetv
of every sick person. The physician has not thi
particular or sole interest in this question which
many suppose ; it is for the benefit of suffering hu
inanity that dissections are and must be practiced
“Let us, then, regard this act of the late Dr.
Warren in its true light, as a proof of his wisdom,
humanity and sincerity--let us see in it a prineiph
rendered a living reality by a noble sacrifice of pri
vate feeling to the public good—let us accept tin
grim gift of liis skeleton as a perpetual warning
not to relapse into heathenish superstition and un
christian selfishui 'S, but to devote our bodies, it
used be, as well as our lives, to the physical and
moral advancement of the human race.”

nave ever heard of in Texas. The tornado blew
from the South, and commenced about an hour
before sun-set, on the above day. Mr. Miller was
himself absent (Votn home.
He says every building he had was carried
j way, and not a vestige left. IDs partner, whose
j name we have not learned, was killed, also his
j clerk, and a woman and two children, making five
i fives lost on his own premises. There were also
j four other persons killed in ihe immediate neigh
| oorhood, making niue in all, and some six or
fight wounded. Some of his goods were carried
to a distance of fifty miles, in Tarrant county, and
me of the children was found dead, half a mile
listant from the house. This tornado extended
ibout sixteen miles North and South, being from
Iwo to three hundred yards in width. Over this
raet, the tornado swept, carrying away, or pros
rating everything in iis course; killing horses,
attle, hogs and other animals. Without being

-AW COURT OP APPEALS, JANLARI TERM, CUAELES
TOX, 1656.
Opinion by Whitmr, J. —The case of Swindler
.v. Hilliard and Brooks, 2 Rich. 266 was well con
udered, anti fully sustains the jiresent decision.
Whilst in this State we recognize the doctrine that
1 carrier may limit, by special contract, his com
non law liabilities, then? Is not the slightest dis
position further to modify the rules justly applica
ble to such transactions. Learned Judges in Eng- i
and and America have regretted the recognition |
•f such exceptions. The exacting tendencies of
•ertitin great carriers of the present day, enjoying
facilities that almost exclude competition, admon
ish us in the application of these wholesome rules
jarefully to guard again l l any abuses. Notwith
standing their apparent rigor, there is a salutary
idicy in these common law doctrines, and those 1
.vho are called to administer must see to it that
they are not wholly evaded. It is only necessary
to bear in mind that the character of the carrier is 1
i«;t changed : his liability only to the extent of the j
exceptions is diminished. In all things else the I
very same principles apply. Cure and dilligence
ire still elements of the contract, and “strict ,
troof" is properly required before any exemption
may be claimed. There is nothing iu the contract
which/ by implication even, can bo regarded as inak
ng it otherwise.
This is a sound rule which devolves the an vs on
him who best knows what the facts are. In cases
if loss, proof of delivery devolves at once on the !
:arrier the anas of exempting himself from liabili- j
■y, and nothing can be more reasonable before lie
■an take shelter under ati exception to require
iroof of his care. In the bill of lading before us
‘rust and breakage" are excepted. Words of sin
gular import and in one sense might be supposed
o cover any injury, unless the purpose was to i
make the owner his own insurer. However gross
the negligence of the carrier, we are brought back
o the same point, that tho exception includes such
breakage os care and diligence could not avoid.
However, the legal principles of our cases being
icarcely challenged, unless in a very general way, ;
die grounds of appeal seem to complain that they
tave been rather rigorously applied. When it is ■
nsiated that a particular fact being shown, the
mus was thereby shifted, this is but another ;
form of asserting that a sufficient excuse was
proved.
We are disposed to rest this part of the case on
he view taken of the evidence by the prr-fiding
fudge.
The motion for a. new trial is refused.
Sound Advick.—The Memphis Bulletin, an Old-
Line Whig paper, conducted with signal ability, 1
■ n a recent editorial, speaks in highly complitnen
•irv terms of Mr. Fillmore, and expresses the be- j
ties that he cannot consistently accept the nomi- 1
■lation tendered him by the Know Nothing Con
vention, and then proceeds :
In any event, the duty of Old Line Whigs is tho
same. They are not man-worshippers. They are
sincere admirers and friends of Mr. Fillmore, bu
hey are more devoted to country than they are
•ven to him. As one of them, we should most
heartily rejoice to see him I’reaident—such as by
lie Providence of God lie was once before —a Con
servative Whig President. But it is worse than
useless for us here in the South to throw away our
strength ujion him. if the contest at the North,
and itt all the free States, is to be between a ua
lioual Conservative Democrat and the nominee of
the Black Republicans. The Old Line \Y higs will
not be parties, and they ought not to be jiarties,
.0 a triangular Presidential scramble, such as that
which made Banks, the Abolitionist, Speaker of
ue House of Representatives, and which might
-esult in the choice, by that same House of Repre
sentatives, of an Abolitionist President.

j remarks:
“For weeks past, throughout the length and j

work before them. Knowing the extent of their
own means, and the vast importance of the enter- |
prise—they entered upon its discussion divested of ,
passion or prejudice, with earnestness and deter
mination, and effected, in a very short space of
time the contracts above specified. It is now con
ceded by those most bitterly opposed to Bruns- |
wick and the Brunswick and Florida railroad, that
; the latter, without peradventure, is to bo prosecu
ted regularly to completion, within a reasonable
time, aud that the former will increase with the
progress of the road. Certainly the prospect of
each is as cheering as we could ask.”

F. A. ABBOT, REPORTER, 70 WALL STREET X7 T
Arrival of the (Quaker City~
| New York. May 22.—The Quaker City, Captain
ii 1 SncFELDT, from Havana, has just arrived,
s It was rumored at Havana tliat the Spanish
’[ Government was fitting out an expedition to pro- i
" ! eeed immediately to Costa Rica, to operate against <
i I Gen. Walker. It was also stated that Vera Cruz i
3 was to be blockaded, and, if necessary, bombard- :
3 ed by the Spanish forces, to enforce a settlement I
t of the claims due to the Spanish Government.
j. Assault in the United States Senate.
j Washington', May 22.— Hon. Preston M. Brooks, '
Representative from South Carolina, assaulted the !
3 , Hon. Charles Sumner, Senator from Massachu- i
. j setts, to-day, in the Senate Chamber, while the |
. j latter was sealed writing. He struck him a stun- j
t | niug blow over the bead with a heavy cane, cut- I
* | iing and contusing his head badly, and repeating !
, the blows frequently. The Hon. Lawrence M.
Kkitt attempted to prevent any interference. I
■ Senator Crittenden, (of Ivy.,) pronounced the as- j
' i -ault a shameful outrage. The provocation was !
i caused bv Mr. Sumner's speech against Judge i
i '■ Butler.
Connecticut I . S. Senator.
New Haven, Conn., May 22. —There hare been j
five unsuccessful ballots to-day in the Connecticut
Legislature for United States Senator.
New York Market.
I
New York, May 22.—The Cotton market is firm.
Sales to-day lOtn i bales. Flour has improved 10c.
per barrel. Wheat from 2to 3 cents per bushel, j
Sterling Exchange is quiet.
! SEsF The origin of the difficulty which occurred |
in the Senate Chamber, referred to in our telegraph
column, between Mr. Brooks and Mr. Sumner,
was caused by the intemperate denunciation of ;
Judge Butler, by Mr. Sumner, in a speech on j
Monday last. He compared Judge Douglas and ,
Judge Butler to Don Quixote and Sancho Panzo,
and was pointedly malignant against Judge !
Butler, who was absent from Washington.
Much as we regret such scenes in Congress, it j
may be, like the lightning’s flash, occasionally ne
cessary to purify a vitiated atmosphere.
Mtf* We received the intelligence by telegraph,
last night, that there was a rumor at Havana that !
Old Spain was getting into a belligerent fever, and
was about to take up the cause of the Costa Ricans,
and vent her fury upon Gen. Walker, at Nicara
gua, ns well as against Mexico, by bombarding
Vera Cruz. She will doubtless have ns much work
to do ns she can conveniently attend to. If she
interferes with Walker, what says “manifest des
tiny’’ about Cuba ?
v »y* Mr. Tuos. Dun vuoo, a very old and worthy
i citizen of Clarke county, died in Athens on the
12th inst.
IrZif" The Sumter Republican, of May zist, con
tains an account of “ a great attraction ” trial, :
which come off before the Mayor of Americus, on
tiie 15th inst. A grass-widow of that locality had
been charged with keeping a house of doubtful .
propriety. It was urged by the defendant's coun
sel that the act granting jurisdiction to the City
Council was unconstitutional, but the Mayor de
cided to the contrary. Other legal objections were ,
urged, but the Mayor over-ruled them all, and pro i
ceeded with the trial, when it was found impnssi- ]
hie to obtain the testimony of a single witness to '
sustain the charge against the grass-widow, and
: the case was dismissed. The inference is, that the I
idder” was more potential than the “laws and I
ordinances.”
l#r The New York lhrald, of 19th inst., says: 1
“The Know Nothings throughout (lie North
wherever they have held a State Council, have vir
tually declared for a fusion with the Seward aboli
tion league, or they have been split into pieces up-
I on the rock of uiggerism, where so many other ]
| brave political barks have foundered and gone to 1
the bottom. The proceedings of the disjointed j i
American Order in Pennsylvania are only the same
; game of disruption and dissolution that was play
ed in Massachusetts the other day.”
To prevent the sidling as well as the drink
ing of alcoholic liquors, on certain occasions, and
. to the delivery of spirits to certain persons, and , 1
i to have laws passed to fully cover any possible vio
lation or evasion, without violating constitutional
rights, have taxed the legal ingenuity of thousands.
And the trade and drinking continue.
The City Council of Americus have been at work,
and here is the result of their labors ;
1 “ From and after this date (May 12, 1856) it shall ;
not be lawful for anv retailor of fermented or spirit- i
nous liquors in the city of Americus, whether kept i
ina Retail shop, Hotel, Confectionary, or Restur
uut, to keep open the door, window or windows of
their establishments, on the Sabbath day or Sab
bath night: it shall, moreover, he unlawful for
1 them to sell, give or furnish any spirituous or in- ;
toxicatiug liquors to any person, or permit it to be I
j given, sold, or furnished by any person in his, her,
in their employ on the Sabbath day or Sabbath ;
night. Any person being found guilty of viola
ting the above ordinance, shall be lined in a sum j
not more than #.20 —or license revoked at the di- j
rection of the Mayor.”
| There is so much twaddle and moonshine .
in the speculations of reporters at Washington,
| that we seldom know when we obtain any thing j
I reliable. The telegraphic correspondent of the 1
New York Herald, of May IS, says :
“ Mr. Dallas writes that he is now in possession ;
of an official ..letter from Lord Clarendon to the
i British Parliament, in which his lordship gives
j the precise construction to the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty which is contended for by our government.
■ Mr. 0. says it is more conclusive than anything he
has seen written on the subject, Mr. Dallas says,
! also, that things look most unpromising in Lon
| don."
The above extract is rather inconsistent, but we I
give it for what it is worth, and every reader must !
, regard himself a self-appointed appraiser.
■ | Washington, May 10. The Kansas Commission i
sent by Governor Robinson a large quantity of ;
| testimony taken by them, enclosing it in a sealed 1
, 1 package addressed to the Speaker of the House.
! On Robinson’s detention at Lexington, Missouri,
' : his wife at his request continued her journey, and
i she handed the package to the Hon. C. K, Watson,
- i one of the Committee on Elections, who to-day de- ;
I livered it to the Speaker privately. -The Congres- j
I siotuil Comtnissioneia request it to remain with the j
5 ; seal unbroken until their return. This is the tes- j
. ! timony which, it is said, the Missourians threat- 1
ened to destroy. j
It appears by official documents communicated j
to the House to-day, that our government has j
taken efficient measures to prevent traffic in Coo
lies, considering it replete with immoralities and ,
revolting and inhuman atrocities, strongly reseut- j
bling those of the African slave trade. It is not !
permitted by any treaty, and is therefore illegal,
and the Americans in China are warned to desist,
otherwise they will not only forfeit the protection :
of this government but render the 5 selves liable !
to heavy penalties.
Among the papers is a letter from Mr. Cramp- |
ton, dated in April last, informing Mr. Marcv of]
the systematic manner in which the Hag and ves- |
sels of the United States are abused by persons
engaged in the African slave trade to Cuba. Mr. 1
Marry replies that he will endeavor to use the in
formation for the prosecution*of the Americans
therein concerned.
New York, May 20. —Cotton was stiffer to-day

BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REMEDY.
OPINION OF A PHYSICIAN.
A PHYSICIAN in Southern Georgia, (De
. catur county) of extensive practice and expe
rience, speaking of “ BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC REM
EDY,” and from personal experience with its cura
tive properties, writes to the proprietor: “ I think
the sale of your Remedy in this section of country f
will be immense.” It is gratifying to the proprie
tor of the “ Dyspeptic Remedy” in this, as in nu
merous other instances, to have his statement to
the public, regarding his new preparation, so sanc
tioned and verified by members of high standing
in the profession. He has thus far abstained from
the hackneyed path of producing in the columns ol
a newspaper the sworn testimonials of the benefit
ted by his prescription. Vet it would give him un
alloyed pleasure to afford the afflicted, (from Dys
pepsia i, the assurances winch he is daily receiving
of the prompt, unfailing success which, in even
instance, when due regard is paid to the treatment,
attends the taking of his medicine.
That there is no possibility of failure in producing
a speedy and permanent cure of Dyspepsia, ever
in eases of long standing, by the “ Dvspeptit
Remedy,” is the universal opinion in sections ot
the South and West, where it has been extensively
tested. Resting upon its growing popularity, the
proprietor might content himself with the present
and prospective success which augurs so favorably
this medicine’s attaining; a reputation and use
more extensive than any other preparation that has
been submitted to the public in a popular form,
hut he desires, knowing from sad experience what
the sufferings of the Dyspeptic are, to afford him
or her not only temporary relief, hut the assurance
and realization of a permanent cure. This “ Rem
edy* ” is for sale bv

VERY family should at once procure a hot t
-i tie of the great Arabian remedy for man and 1
beast, called H. G. FARRELL’S ARABIAN I.INI i
MENT. It allays the most intense pains in a few
minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
and thus cures stiff joints ; it penetrates the flesh
to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu
matism and palsied limbs of twenty years’stand
ing; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement ot ;
the glands, and is the best, medicine for ailments i
cfca'V.e ever discovered, curing sweeny*, spavins, j
splint, and all diseases which require an internal |
application.
Sun Pains often years' standing cured by 11. G.
Farrell’s Arabian Lini/rvnt.
Mr. H. G. Farrell- Dear Sir: Iliad been af
flicted with the “Sun Pain” for the last ten years,
and could never get relief except by bleeding; but
by the use of 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. ! went into the stable one
night, to apply* it to a horse's sore leg, and being
very lame he stumbled and fell against my legs,
crushing and bruising them so badly that tin \
turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless, i
I applied your Liniment, and was well enough ina j
few days to go about again as usual. I also crushed j
my* linger in a shocking manner, by letting a back I
log fall upon ii ; vour Liniment soon healed it up, i
though. ‘ JOHN B. M’GEE. |
LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., til., Feb. 6, 1849. j
: K*q. Darker, • f New Canton, 111., says: j j
Mr. H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has 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 bov twelve years old.
The leg hud withered away-, and was so contracted
| that he had no us, of it. Three doctors had tried
i their skill upon it in vain, and he was fast sinkine,
| to the grace, when the boy’s fattier was induced t.
try 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the
i first bottle was used up, lie 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 ; the .
one bottle 1 got did my hoy more good than all that i
had ever been done before.” That hoy is now well 1
and hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good j
for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.

Laohout fur Counterfeits I
The public tire cautioned against another conn- j
! terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called j
\V. 15. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan- i
I gerous of all the counter Ants, because his having ;
j the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good j
, faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex-
I ists, and they will perhaps only discover their emu
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
1 effects.

Improvements.
THNIIIS article wiS compare favora-
SI bly with any (>f like character
! in the known world. i
i u.' *■' ft • >
I find that by putting it in the form g
j of a Soap it gives it a decided advan
j luge over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dts- i
| eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
i 'ties front being impaired by age or climate, and i
i renders it very convenient for use.
. Its action is prompt, and at the same time hartn
! leas, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara- i
| tion injurious to the patient. This article, there- 1
! fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers, !
j Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles, i
i Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch. Nettle Rash, Sail ;
I Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy, Son
! Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
! extract scurf and dandruff from the head, therebt
; preventing premature baldness. It is also one ot
j 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
j superior dentritice to the teeth. For shaving soap,
• it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and j
] curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
j particular old sores, this soap has proved n balm |
i indeed, by its wonderful healing powers,
j I can procure certificates innumerable were it !
j necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
! requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, anti 1
; wishing to avoid everything like humbuggery, I
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
i doubting they will then declare this to be the eu '
\ plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
