Dear Sirs: I take pleasure in stating that J
have used, for the last twenty years, the medi
cine you are putting up, known as I)R. J. BRA D
EIKtD’S FEMALE REGULATOR, and con
sider it the best combination ever gotten to
gether for the diseases for which it is recom
mended. I have been familiar with the pre
scription both as a practitioner of medicine and
in domestic practice, and can honestly say that
1 consider it a boon to suffering females, and
can but hope that every lady in our whole land,
who may be suffering in any way peculiar to
their sex, may be able to procure a bottle, that
their sufferings may not only be relieved, but
that they may be restored to health A strength.
With my kindest regards, 1 am, respectfully.

Celebrated Liver Medicine.
It is purely vegetable, and will act upon the
Liver and Kidneys as promptly as Calomel and
Buchu, without any danger of salivation or de
struction of the bones.
Parties taking the medicine need not fear get
ting wet, or any other reasonable exposure.
Symptoms of Liver Disease:
Headache, Dull Feeling or the Blues, Sour Stom
ach, Sick or Nervous Headache, Heartburn, In
digestion or Dyspepsia, Bad or Bitter Taste in
tlie Mouth, the skin has a thick, rough feeling,
and is darker than usual, Costiveuess, Melan
choly Feelings, Cramps, Cold Feet, Colic, Dys
entery, or Diarrhoea, Chills and Fever, and
Piles. In fact, where the Liver is out of order,
you are liable to every disease that is not conta
gious.
Prophitt’s Liver Medicine, if taken properly,
will prevent and cure any disease resulting from
a deranged liver.
It will regulate its functions and thus cure all
diseases caused by the failure of its healthy ac
tion.
It has been used for a great number of years,
and has given universal satisfaction.
There is no brother or son claiming to have
the origional recipe. It is put up iu both Pow
der aud Fluid form.

CHARI.OTTE, N. C., Sept. 24, 1868.
I have used Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi

efficacious. It is excellent for functional de

bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity
of a regular eourse of medicine.

DR. O. S. PROPHITT:
Dear Sir: 1 write you this to inform you that
I have been troubled a great deal with indiges

Medicine, I find great relief. I cheerfully re
commend it as a good Family Medicine, and feel
confident that it is good for anything for which
it claims to be an antidote. Very respectfully,

Dr, Prophitt’s Dysentery Cordial,
Is one of the most valuable compounds now put

DR. PROPIIITT:
Having a severe attack of Dvsentery during
the past summer, I was induced to use your Dv

to recommend this remedy to all who may be so
attacked, believing that, should the directions
be followed, relief would surely be obtained.—

PROPHITT’S
Pain Kill It.
This i? the celebrated medicine that run Perry
Davis’ Pain Killer out of the market, wherever
it was sold. Davis made Prophitt change the
name from Pain Killer to PAIN KILL IT.
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any
kind it has no equal.
, For Cuts, Bruises, Burns, or old Sores, it is the
best thing you can use as a dressing.
For Smtke Bi ; js or Stings of Poisonous Insects,
it is a perfect ANTIDOTE.
It is good for Colic, Colds, Coughs, or Bowel
Complaints. Its name indicates its nature fully.
It is truly DEATH to pain.

This is to certify that I was confined to the

available remedy, with no relief, I was cured
with two bottles of Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Anodyne
Pain Kill It; each costing fifty cents only. It
relieved me almost instantly. I therefore re
commend it in the highest degree to others suf
fering from similar disease. I can say that it is
one of the finest Family Medicines nowout, cer
tain. Yours, truly, W. A. FOREHAND.

Dr. SCIIEWR Advises Consnmi*-
tives to yo to Florida in Winter.
Having for the last thirty-five years devoted
my whole time and attention to the study of
lung diseases and consumption, I feel that f un
derstand fully the course that ought to be pur
sued to restore a tolerably bad rase of diseased
lungs to healthy soundness. The first and most
important step is lor the patient to avoid taking
cold, and the best of all places on this continent
for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down
in the State, where the temperature is regular,
and not subject to such variations as in more
Northern latitudes. Palatka is anoint I can re
commend. A good hotel is kept there by Petef
man. Last winter I saw several persons there
whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who,
under tho healing influence of the climate and
my medicines, were getting well.
One hundred miles further down the river is a
point which I would prefer to Palatka, as the
temperature is more even and the air dry aad
bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are loca
ted there. I should give a decided preference to
Mellonville. It is two miles from river or lake,
and it seems almost impossible to take cold there.
The tables in Florida might be better, and pa
tients complain at times but that is a good sign,
as it indicates a return of appetite, and when
this is the case they generally increase in flesh,
and then the lungs must heal.
Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and manv
other places in various parts of Florida, can be
salelv recommended to consumptives in winter.
My reasons for saying so are that patients are
less liable to take cold there than where there is
a less even temperature, and it is not necessary
to say that where a consumptive person exposes
hmiselt to frequent colds he is certain to die
shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down
into the State out of reach of the prevailing east
winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any
other of the localities I have named, will benefit
those who are troubled with a totyid liver, a dis
ordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat
or cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased
a more southern point is earnestly recommend
ed.
For fifteen years prior to 1869, I was profes
-v,'V .Now York, Boston, Baltimore and
I huadelphia every week, where I saw and ex
amined on an average live hundred patients a
week. A practice so extensive, embracing ev
ery possible phase of lung disease, has enabled
me to understand the disease fully, and
hence, my caution in regard to taking cold. A
person may take vast quantities of “Schenck’s
Pulmonic Svrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
I ills,” and yet die if he does not avoid taking
cold. 0
In Florida, nearly everv bodv is using
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, for the climate is
more likely to produce billious habits than more
northern latitudes. It is a well established fact
ti.at natives of Florida rarely die of consump
tion, especially those of the southern part. On
trie other hand, in New England, one third, at
leasf, of the population die of this terrible.dis
ease. In the Middle States it does not prevail
so largely, still there aa-pirris&y thousands ofca
ed'in’rSgari? ui'vaKing fresh 1
about scarlet fever, small pox, Ac. But* thev
are not. They take what they term a little cold,
which they are credulous eao'ugh to believe will
wear off in a few days. They pay no attention
to it, and hence it lays the foundation for anoth
er and another still, until the lungs are diseased
beyond all hope for cure.
Mv advice to persons whose lungs are affected
even slightly is, to lay in a stock of Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syimp, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic and
Selienck’s Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. I
recommend these particular medicines bocaue I
am thoroughly acquainted with their action. I
know that where they are used in strict accord
ance with my directions they will do the work
that is required. This accomplished, nature will
do the rest. The physician who prescribes for
cold, Qough or night-sw r eats, and then advises
the patient to walk or ride out everv day, will
be sure to have a corpse on his hands before long.
Mv plan is to give my three medicines’ in ac
cordance with the printed directions, exceut in
some cases where a freer use of ;he Mandrake
Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to
the stomach—to get up a good appetite. It is al
ways a good sign when a patient begins to grow
hungry. I have hopes of such. With a relish
for food and the gratification of that relish comes
good blood, and with it more flesh, which isclose
ly followed by a healing of the lungs. Then the
cough loosens and abates, the creeping chill*
and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrate
and annoy, and the patient gets well, provided
ie avoids taking cold.
Now there are many consumptive who have
net the means to go to Florida. The question
may be asked, is there no hope for such? Cer
tainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever
has been, tostaj- in a warm room during wintev,
with a temperature of about seventy degrees,
which should be kept regularly at that point,
by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient
take his exercise within the limits of the room
by walking up and down as much as his strength
will permit, in order to keep up a healthy circu
lation of the blood. I have cured thousands l>v
this system, and can do so again. Consumption
is as easily cured as any other disease if it is ta
ken in time, and the proper kind of treatment is
pursued. The fact stands undisputed on record
thatSchenck’s PulmonicSyrup, Mandrake Pills,
nnd Seaweed Tonic have cured very many of
•shat seemed to be hopeless cases of consump
tion. Go where you will, you will be almost cer
tain to find some poor consumptive who has been
rescured from the very jaws of death by their
use.
So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned,
everyboky should keep a supply of them on h and.
They act on the liver better tfian calomel, and
leave none of its hurtful eifects behind. In fact
they are excellent in all cases where a purgative
medicine is required. If you have partaken too
freely of fruit and diarrhoea ensues, a dose of the
Mandrakes will cure you. If you are subieet to
sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes
and they will relieve you in two hours. If vou
would obviate the effect of a change of water, or
the too free indulgence in fruit, take one of the
Mandrakes every night or everv other aigh'i;, and
you may then drink water and eat waterniel
lons, pears, apples, plums, peeches or corn, with
out the risk of being made sick by them. They
will protect those who live in damp situation's
against chills and fevers. Try them. They are
perfectly harmless. They can do vou good only.
I have abandoned my profess Tonal visits to
Boston and New York, but continue to see pa
tients at my office, No. 15 N. SIXTH street, Phil
adelphia, every Saturday, from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m.
Those who wish a thorough examination with
the Respirometer will be charged live dollars.—
The Respirometer declares the exact condition
of the lungs, and patients can readilv learn
whether they are curable or not. But I desire it
distinctly understood that the medicines de
pends upon their being taken strictly according
to directions.
In conclusion, I will say that when persons
take my medicines and their svstems: are
brought into a healthy condition thereby, they
are not so liable to take cold, ret no one with
diseased lungs can boar a sudden change of at
mosphere without the liability of greater or less
irritation of the bronchia! tulles.
Full directions in all languages accompauy
my medicines, so explicit and clehrthat anv one
can use them without consulting me, and can
be bought from any druggist.

and in one corner of the room was de
posited the pile of clothing she wore at
the time the assault was made upon
her. Her under-elothing was com
pletely saturated with blood, and bore
the marks of the knife in several pla
ces. The dress she had worn was ve
ry much spotted with blood, and the
whole appearance of everything she
had . thrown aside was sickening.—
From her own lips our reporter gl aned
the following
STATEMENT.
Last evening about six or seven
o’clock, a woman kuoeked at my door
and me if my name was Hun
gerford. I replied that it was. The
woman was Mrs. Jane Staley, the wife
of Mr. John A. Staley,, who had, been
living with me. This woman was ac
companied by her son George and a
young man named Carey Tatum, who
entered the room as she did The mo
ment I answered Mis. Staley’s ques
tion, her son George stepped upon the
trail of my dress, which was quite long,
and by that means prevented my mov
ing. At the same instant, young Ta
tum sprang towards me and caught
hold of my arms, which he grasper!
like a vice. Mrs. Staley then drew a
Bowie knife and rushed at me, aiming
at my face. I endeavored to protect
my face and got a severe stab in the
shoulder; she next cut a deep gash in
my skull on the back of my head,
then changing her position she stab
bed me in the thigh. In trying to
take the knife from her she next cut
me from the centre of my arm down
to my thumb. That wound pains me
awfully, as bad as the one they think
has gone through my right lung. She
then stabbed me five more times in the
the loss Os blOOd: X SUppmscr
thought I was dead. Dr. Charlton
and his assistant gave me chloroform
and dressed my wounds. I have not
the slightest ill-will towards Mrs. Sta
ley, and freely forgive her for the wick
ed act she has done. I never wished
or thought to injure her. Her hus
band has been my “friend” for a lone
time, and offered me S6OO to come
from Augusta here. He has not paid
it nor will he ever. I did not wish
any notice of this affair taken until
this morning, when I heard from her.
She said the only regret she had was
that she had not killed me on the spot.
I then determined to let justice take
its course. True, I am but a girl of
the town, a fast woman, but if I die,
I have friends who will terribly avenge
me, friends that I know will not let
this matter drop.
THE woman’s HISTORY.
Sue Hungerford, as she is called by
the derm rnonde, was born in the city
of Augusta, Ga., on the 30th day of
September, 1847, and is therefore in
her twenty-fourth year. Her family is
well kuowu in Augusta. Her parents,
determined that she should have a su
perior education, sent her to the Con
veutof ihe Sacred Heart, iu Montreal,
from which institution she graduated
with honor. In an evil hour she fell
into the fangs of the destroyer, and
too proud to bury her shame in tears
of penitence and contrition, she pur
sued the downward path of degrada
tion until her once pure name became
the symbol of reproach. Asa woman
of the town she is well kuowu.
In her manners she is said to be ve
ry attractive, uDd as a conversational
ist unusually pleasing, and her features,
in spite of the life she has led for years,
are reported to be undeniably attract
ive. Under other circumstances she
would have been idolized a favored
member of society—now, “none are so
poor as to do her leverenee.” She re
marked yesterday: “The girl of the
town can never retrace her steps; were
I disposed to work at the most menial
employment, which of you, gentlemen,
would take me to his house and give
me bread for my iabor ? IS ot one !
Not one!’
THE CAUSE OF THE ATTACK MADE UPON HER.
Some time ago, Mr. John A. Staley,
a man advanced m years, and the hus
band of the person who made this as
sault. in his capacity of agent, hud the
letting of the house in which Mrs.
Fogarty lives. Ahile collecting rents,
he fell in with Sue Hungerford, and
formed her acquaintance She did
not object, it was her vocation. He
neglected his lawful wife, for her, and
eventually Mrs. Staley was informed
that Sue had a child by him. Day
after day the wife sat and brooded
over her deep wrong, until madened
with desperation, she resolved to take
her rival’s life. She went upon her
mission accompanied by the parties al
ready mimed, and the result io before

THE WANDER IAO JEW*.
He Still Lives—Some Account of
his Recent Travels.
[From the Philadelphia Ledger.]
A rumor comes from a village near
Antwerp, that the historic “wandering
Jew” has been seen in that neighbor
hood. He is reported as haring pass
ed rapidly through the market place,
and as having on the outskirts of the
viliage addressed a few’ words to some
children who, bolder than their com
panions, had followed iu his path.—
Ho was dressed in worn aud dingy an
tique garments, carried a long staff,
and with his profuse beard *■ streaming
in the wind presented such an awe-in
spiring appearance that the terrified
villagers fied from him in fright.
When he paused and spoke to the
children he told them to go back anc
inform the people that anew ruler hac
arisen in. Europe, who would bring
Belgium, Holland, aud other countries
under h.s sway, that many strange vi
cissitudes would be witnessed, and that
many proud heads would be brought
low. On being questioned as to his
name he replied, “Seek not to know.—
I have been here before in the past, I
shall be here again in the future.—
Until the end of time I shall walk the
earth unceasingly.” The apparition
then waving its hand turned from the
children and resumed its ploddiDg
walk, and disappeared in the distance.
The report of the appearance of the
andering Jew” has caused great ex
citement among the believers in the le
gend. and the truth of the story is
credited throughout Belgium. The le-
gend of the Jew who had witnessed
the crucifixion, and had been condemn
ed to live and wander over the earth
until the time of Christ’s second oom
ing, originated in the middle ages, and
can be traced back to the Chronicle of
the Abbey of St. Albans, which was
copied and continued by Matthew Pa
ris. This chronicle relates that in 1228
a certain Archbishop of Armenia Ma
jor, came to England on a visit to sa
cred places, and while enjoying the
hospitality of the Abbey of St. Albans,
among other strange stories related
that there was a man named Joseph
living in Armedia who had witnessed
the crucifixion. This man, originally
called Cartaphilus, was a porter iu Pi
late s service, and while Jesus was pass
ing out from the judgment hall impi
ously struck him on the back, saying,
“Go quicker, why do you loiter ?” Je
sus looked b .ck ou him with a severe
countenance, and said, “I am going,
but you shall wait till I return.” And
accordingly Cartaphilus is still waiting
fetnrn After Christ’s death he
name was changed co auaepu.
the “Wandering Jew” appeared at
Hamburg, telling a story similar to the
above, however, said that his name
m as Ahasurus, and that he was a shoe
maker who struck Jesus on the b§ck
while on the way to Golgotha. This
particular person is described as a tall
man, of about fifty years of age, with
iong hair hanging down to his shoul
ders, barefooted, and wearing a strange
costume, consisting of sailor’s trousers,
a gown reaching to the knees, and a
long mantle flowing down to his feet.
He spoke good German, in the Saxon
dialect.
In 1575, the “Wandering Jew” ap
peared in the and this
time used the Spanish language. A
few years later the “Wandering Jew”
arrived at Sti asbourg, and going before
the magistrates, informed them that he
had visited the city just two hundred
years before, which statement, it is as
serted, was proved to be true, by a re
ference to the town records. He was
next heard of iu the West Indies, and
again in France, where, in ,1604, he
caused considerable sensation, bis pres
ence being accompanied by destructive
hurricanes. Ou pril 22d, 1774, an
individual claiming to be the “Wander
ing Jew” appeared in Brussels, and
told his story to the cominon peopfe;
he, however, had changed the popular
name of this character, and culled him
self Isaac Laquedem.
This legend has formed the subject
ot numerous popular ballads iu the dif
ferent languages of Europe, and also
of poems, tales and novels, by distin
guised authors. It may here be re
marked, that this curious myth seems
to have originated in that passage of
the Gospel of St. John, twenty-first
chapter aud twenty-second verse, where
Jesus says of John, “If I will that he
tarry till I come, what is that to thee ?
Follow thou me.’ ‘Then this saying
went abroad among the bretheren
that this disciple should not die.”
A clergyman was censuring a young
lady for tight lacing. “Why,” replied
miss, “you would not surely recom
mend loose habits to your parishioners.”
Mrs. Partington was askeh, “What
church do you g 6 to ?” “To any para
doxical church,” said the old lady,
looking over her spectacles, “where the
divine word is dispensed with.”
It was the idea of a minister down
in *eorgia, at the conclusion of a mar
riage ceremony, to use in his prayer
for the bridal couple the sentence,
“Suffer little children to come unto

up recently for beating his wife and

[From the Baltimore GnzcU *
District of Columbia.
The bill creating a Territorial' Gov
ernment for the District of Columbia
has passed both Hous sos Congress,
and only wants the signature of the
President to become a law. This it is
certain to obtain. The following syn
opsis of the bill will show its general*
character, and the radical change it ef
fects in the government of the District.
Under the provisions of the bill the
President is to appoint the Governor
aud Territorial Secretary for the Dis
trict, whose respective terms of office
are limited to four years. The Legis
lative Assembly is to consist of two
Houses—the Upper house takiug tho
name of a Council, aud the lower of a
House of Delegates. The Council is
to be composed of eleven members,
seven of whom are to be citizens of
Washington, two of Georgetown, and
two to be taken from the countv.—
The appointment of members of’the
Council is also vested in the President.
Five of the members of the Council
are to serve for one year, and six for
two years. But all subsequent ap
pointments are to be made for two
years~ The House of Delegates to*
consist of thirty-three members to be
elected annually from eleven districts,
three deldgates from each district.—
The city of Georgetown is to consti
tute one district; the countv outside
the cities of Georgetown and Washing
ton another; whilst the remaining
nine districts are to be petitioned off
within the limits of the city of Wash
ington. The election of Delegates is.
to be by popular vote, aud on the
principle of cumulative voting whereby
a voter in any one of the districts may.
cast as many votes as. there are Dele
gates to be elected for. that district, or.
may distribute his vote at will; among*
the candidates.
The Governor, in conjunction with
the Judges of the Supreme Court of
the District, is to have, in the first in
stance, the designation of the districts
and the appointment of registrars and
judges of election. The first election
is to be held within sixty days from.
the passage of the act. The session of *.
the Legislature is limited to sixty days *
in each year, except the first session,'
which may continue one hundred days.
The Assembly is prohibited from con
tracting any debt exceeding five per *
cent, of the assessed property of the.
District, except it be first sanctioned
by the popular vote. All acts of the
Assembly are to be subject to repeal,
or modification by Congress. The ju
dicial courts are to remain as now or
ganized, or until abolished by act of
Congress; tut the Assembly may mod
be deemed necessary. f " 1 -* J ■
The charters of the cities cf Wash
ington and Georgetown are to be re
pealed on the Ist of June next; but all
the ordinances passed by the respec
tive cities are to contiuue in force un
til modified by Congress or by the A3*-
sembly. Nevertheless, although all
further municipal authority is to cease
on the first of June, and although the
municipal councils are prohibited from.
assessing any taxes from the passage
of the law changing the form of gov*
ernment from the District, it is provi
ded that the charters of the two cit
ies are to be continued in force until
all outstanding debts and contracts are
adjusted, but for no other purpose.
bo the negro experiment has broken
down ignominionsly, and the Radicals,
to cover up their defeat, have been
obliged to resort to an entire change
of government, *by which they still
maintain political control of the Dis
trict, but under a different legislative
and with at least the promise
of better, results.
The Partridge-Eating Wager.—The*.
Baltimore Sun, referring to the ssod
wager of a man named Henderson, in
this city, that he will consume one par- _
tridge per day. for thirty days, says;
“The Washington Star has bad sev
eral notices of the wager, but does not
tell ns if the man eats, nothing else be
sides the partrige during the day, or
wherein is the peculiar hardship of tha
case otherwise.”
Henderson emff whatever else ha
likes, the only stipulation being that b 6
shall consume one partridge per day
between tfye hours of 9 and 10 a. m.—
The hardship in the case is in the fact
that though a single partridge is wry
good eating, it becomes a most repul
sive article of food when repeated dai
ly for any length of time. Iu France,,
it is a somewhat common wager to bet,
against the performance of pigeon-eat-.
ing of this kind; and some live or six,
years ago a narrative writ'en by a
Frenchman of bis physical sufferings—
nausea, fever, and prostration—endur
ed in undertaking the experiment, at
tracted considerable attention from
the medical fraternity.
