of Lafilte’s establishment, owing to
the numerous complaints of depre

a naval force under Lieutenant Kear

Lafitte left. The pirate chief re

followers to prepare to depart. The
buccaneers having everything in
readiness, Lafitte ordered the town
to be set on fire, and, embarking on
the Pri le, his favorite vessel sailed
from the island on the 12th of May, i

less and a humbug. I say try it before you condemn it, as I will give you the names of every herb,

Atlanta, July 1st, 1S74.
DR. BIGGEUS—Dear Sir: In the use of your Southern Remedy in my family, I have found it the
most pleasant medicine for children to take, and the most satisfactory to cure I have ever met. I have
used it now for several years, and never aUow myself to be without some of It on hand, and its imme
diate use saves all trouble and danger. I have always felt if you had no other claim to the pnhlic con
fidence than this specific, it alone should give it to you, and both, fame and fortune added, if you
would only sufficiently advertise it to let the world know its healing power and benefits.
Respectfully, o. O. LOCHRANE.
