DR. PROPHITT’S
Celebrated Liver Medicine.
It is purely vegetable, and will act upon the
Liver and Kidneys as promptly as Calomel and
Bticliu, 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
the Mouth, the skiu has a thick, rough feeling,
and is darker than usual, Costiveness, 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 lias been used for a great number of years,
aud has given universal satisfm tion.
There is no brother or son claiming to have
the origional recipe. It is put up in both Pow
der and Fluid form.
Fairburn, Ga., Sept. 4,1868.
DR. O. S. PROPIIITT:
Sir: Mv wife has been an invalid for fifteen
years. Doctors all agreed she had “Liver Dis
ease.” In connection with their practice she
used various and noted remedies, none of which
seemed to do any good. Sometime ago I procu
red a bottle of your “Liver Medicine,” of your
agent here, C. A. Harvey, which being given ac
cording to directions, has affected a comulete
cure. Respectfully, Ac., GEO. L. THOMAS.
Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 24,1868.
I have used Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi
cine as a tonic, and found it to be powerful and
efficacious. It is excellent for functioual de
rangement of the Liver or constipation of the
bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity
of a regular course of medicine.

DR. O. S. PROPHITT:
Dear Sir: 1 write you this to inform ybu that
I have been troubled a great deal with indiges
tion, but after using one bottle of your Liver
Medicine, I find great relief. I cheerfullv re
commend it as a good Family Medicine, audfeel
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

The most delicate child may take it with im
punity.

DR. PROPHITT:
Having a.severe attack of Dysentery during
the past summer, I was induced to use vour Dy

attacked, believing-that, "should the directions
be followed, relief would surelv be obtained.—

Pain Kill It.
This is the celebrated medicine that run Perry
Davis’ Pain Killer out of the market, wherever
it was sold. Davis made Frouliitt change the
name from Pain Killer to PAlil 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 Snake Bites 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 full v.
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

one of the finest Family Medicines now out, cer

CONSUMPTION,
Its Cure anil Its Preventive
BY J. H, SCHENCK, M, D.
MANY a human being has passed away,
for whose death there was uo other reason
than the neglect of known and indisputably
proven means of cure. Those near and dear to
(amily and friends are sleeping the dreamless
slumber into which, had they calmly adopted
DR. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE
TREATMENT.
and availed themselves of his wonderful effica
cious medicines, they would not have fallen.
Dr. Schenck has in his own case proved that
wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital
ity, by his medicines and hts directions for
their "use, is quickened into healthful vigor.
In this statement there is nothing presump
tuous. To the faith of the invalid is niado no
representation that is not a thousand times
substantiated by living and visible works. The
theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck’s mctficiues
is as "simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy
requires no argument. It is self-assuring, self
convincing.
The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
the first two weapons with which the citadel
of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of tlie
case* of consumption originate in dvspepsia
and a functionally disordered livei. With this
condition the bronchial tubes “sympathize”
with the stomach. They respond to the morbific
action of the liver. Here then comes the cu 1-
mmating result, and the setting in, with all its
distressing symptoms, of
CONSUMPTION.
The Mandrake Pills are esmposed of one of
Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum Pelta
tum. They possess all the blood-searching,
alterative properties of calomel.
But unlike calomel, they
“LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,”
The work of cure is now beginning. The
vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and
in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver,
like a clock. is wound up. It arouses from its
torpidity. The stomach acts responsively, and
the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at
last,
A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD.
The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the
Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food.
Chylincation is now progressing without its
previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless,
and the cure is seen lo be at hand. There is no
more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach
An appetite sets in.
Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever
yet given by an indulgent father to suffering
man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in to
perform its functions and to hasten and com
plcte the cure. It enters at once upon its work.
Nature cannot be cheated. It collects and
ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In
the form of gatherings, it prepares them for
expectoration, aud Jo ' in a very short time the
malady" is vanquished, the rotten throne that
it occupied is renovated and made new, and the
patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor,
steps forth to enjoy the manhood or th« womt.n
hood that was
GIVEN UP AS LOST.
The second thing is, the patients must stay in
a warm room until they get well ; it is almost
impossible to prevent taking cold when the
lungs are diseased, but it must be prevented or
a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding
out, especially in this section ofthe cenntrv in
the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians
who recommend that course lose patients, if
their lungs are badly diseased, and yet because
they are in the house they must not sit down
quiet; they must walk about the room as much
and as fast as the strength will bear, to get up a
good circulation of blood. The patients must
keep in good spirits—be determined to get well.
This has a great deal to do with the appetite,
and is the great point to gain.
To despair of cure after such evidence of its
possibility in the worst cases, and moral cer
tainty in' all others, is sinful. Dr. Schenck’s
personal statement to the Faculty of his own
cure was in these modest words :
Many years ago I was in the last stages of
consumption ; confined to my bed, and at one
time my physicians thought that I could not
live a week;' then, like a drowning man catch
ing at straws, I heard of and obtained the pre
parations which I now offer to the public, and
they made a perfect cure of me. it seemed to
me that I could feel them penetrate mv whole
system. They soou ripened the matter in my
lungs, aud I would spit up more than a pint of
offensive yellow matter every morning for a
long time.
As soon as that began to subside my cough,
fevei, pain and night sweats all began to leave
me, and mv appetite became so great that it
was with difficulty that I could keep from
eating too much, i soon gained my strength,
and Lave grown in flesh ever since.”
“I was weighed shortly after my recovery,”
added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere
skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven
pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and
twentv-five pounds, and for years 1 have
“ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.”
Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional
visit to New York and Boston. He or his son,
Dr. J 11. Schenck. Jr., still continue to see
patients at their office, No. 15 North Sixth street,
Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3
p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination
with the Respirometer will be charged five
dollars. The Kespirometer declares the exact
condition ofthe lungs, and patients can readily
learn whether they are curable or not.
The directions for taking the medicine are
adapted to the intelligence even of a child
Follow r these dircctona, and kind nature will do
the rest, excepting that in some cases the Mah-.
drake Pills are to be taken in increased dose 6 ;
the three medicines need no other accompani
ments than the ample instructions that do
accompany them. First create appetite. Os
returning health hunger is the most welcome
svnintom. When it comes, as it will come, let
the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at
once follows, thecongh loosens, the night sweat
is abated. In a short time both of these morbid
symptoms are gone forever.
’ Dr. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept
iu tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative,
or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard
preparation: while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a
curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a
prophvlacteric against consumption in any of
it* forms.
Priec of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed
Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Man
drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all
drnrgifta and dealers.

S«th Hawkins was * fine specimen
of manhood as can be seen—tall, broad

eyes of the deper-t o:ue, light hair rnd
ruddy countenance, which betokened
a familiarity with outdoor occupation.
Suffice it to say that he was a farmer,
and well to do in this world’s goods,
but afflicted with a disease called bash
fulneas.
He was deeply in love with a pretty
sparkling, rogue-eyed lass whom we

upon all the usual topics oi the day,

he really became seated in her pres

answering only in monosyllable.
The latter guessed how matters
stood with him, and, in a spirit of mis

several little remark#, which almost
drove him to destruction, and made
Lrm think his case hopeless.

but had never found sufficient cour
age to know his fate.
One pleasant Suijday evening he
again sailed forth determined to know
the worst, and to ask Sallie to be his.
He found her sittiug by a bright bla
zing tire, in the kitchen, and looking
prettier than ever, with her rosy cheeks
and laughing eyes. Her mother sift
in an olu fashioned rocking-chair, reafll
ifjg her Bible, while a .cuhclle, kitting
ou a stand close by, served to light the
apartment. She seated him iu a chair
near the. hye, and after making a few
remaiks, to wuich he gave mono
syliabioal answers be look-d up, and
caught Sallie s eye, and she immedi
ately turned her head .with a smile.
He felt ilie blood rush to his head
and face, as he scanned Ins person
over to see if he could discover the ob
ject of Bailie’s mirth, when, lo! on turn
ing his head half around he discovered
some white cloth behiud him.
Now the question was*—what could
it be ?
He awaited another opportunity, and
when Sallie Mas not looking, put his
hand behind him, and slipping his
hand under the edge of his jacket, pro
ceeded to push it down into the back of
his pants.
He felt a relief, -and on looking up,
peiceived that Sallie was convulsed
with suppressed lrughter.
He looked around again, and to his
utter astonishment, found that instead
of the cloth disappearing, it seemed
larger thau before.
The perspiration started in every
pore, and with a quick, nervous push,
he made another effort to get it out of
sight. Another opportunity presented
itself when he made a finish of it, and
with the perspiration standing in drops
all over his forehead, he felt almost out
of patience with Sallie for building
such a hot fire.
At the moment of its disappearance
Sallie, who had been watching affairs
on the sly, burst into a loan peal of
laughter, and rushed into the room
adjoining, giving the door a violent
slaao, which caused the old lady to look
up in astonishment, and Seth to seize
his hat and rush from the house, to
wards home, as fust as his legs could
carry him, and in an}’ thing but a hap
py frame of mind.
Sallie soon made Ikt appearance
again, and her mother remonstrated
witli her upon her unchristian-like
conduct on Sabbath evening.
Sallie bore it with as much compos
ure as possible, but saia nothing to her
mother of the cause of her mirth.
Pretty soon the old lady made prep
arations for bed, and soon began to
search for her night gown: but failing
to find it, came out of the bed-room,
saying:
“Sallie, where is my night dress ? I
left it somewhere, and I can’t tell,
the life of me where.”
‘Why, Seth Hawkins wore it home!’
she replied.
‘What! wore it home !"
Amid tears and laughter, Sadie ex
plained the events of the evening to
her mother.
The next afternoon a boy rapped at
the door, and presented a package for
Miss Sally, which she soon opened, and
found the unlucky night-dress, all
nicely washed and ironed, with the
following words written on a bit of
paper with a pencil:
"I am much obliged for thu use of
it. Seth.
The next time they met, he found
his bashfulness had disappeared, and
before leaving Sally, he had gained
her consent to be his own little wife.
Years have elapsvd since that event
ful night, but he is never*weary of tell
ing his children how he won their
mother through the old lady’s night
dress.

Whenever “country editors” get out
of soap, and can't find anything to
write about, they fall back on the pret
ty girls of their neighborhood, and try
to get up a dispute with somebody
else about beautiful young ladies.—
Wb> ther this is right or not, we do not
pretend to say, but so far as the polit
ical right of these editors is concerned,
they have that. Georgia country ed
itors chi beat the world bragging on
their girls, and they even go so far «s
to mention names of those of the pret
tiest girls. Now', whether these names
are ficticious or not, we are unable to
say. Such ns Evalina, Josephine, Ida
Lee, aud iVJurie Antoinette may be
real nhriiQS, and may not be, just as
other things in this world are, aud are
not. We have not thought it nece&sa
rj to “puff” the young ladies of Mont
gomer , for they are able to speak for
themselves, but when it comes to that
the editor of a country newspaper, in
a one-horse Georgia town, makes the
assertion that the girls iw his precinct
are fare more beautiful thau any oth
ers in the South, we feel called upon
to hurl the falsehood back in his teeth,
and say to him, “Lord Angfus thbu hits
-d. If we thought it necesftary, we
could mention the names of sonic
young ladies of our city whose beauty
would eclipse the fairest dream of the
poet or hi list, arid whose accomplish
ments rank thehi foremost in the great
list of female champions. Lvery stran
ger who has visited Montgomery has
been struck with the surpassing boßU
ty of our young ladies, their sweet
manners, and good , tempers, and it is
a fohl slander for a one-horse town to
compare its girls with ours. The fact
is that the assertion is so contemptible
that ave cannot find words to express
our indignation. Not only are the
young ladies of our city commended
for their beauty and accomplishments,
but they deserve the highest praise for
their treatment of strangers, who come
here, and being carried away with the
beauty of our young ladies, they try to
palm themselves off as richjyoung men,
and make proposals of marriage.—
Some of the young ladies of this city
have sent no less than a dozen of
young swains from Georgia howling
back to their homes, kicked as high as
a kite. This Georgia editof is one of
ihem, for he plainly shows that a
young lady refused to be fooled into
the nice trap that he had set
All honor to'the young ladies of Mont

misfortune to be tied to a country

“A lien Wliat is a Hen.”
Greenville, Ala., March 23,1871.
Columbus Enquirer: —You have pro
voked our humor by your bragging
about your smart hens in the papers;
but I’ll be ding if you don’t have ta git
up and git and diskiver another Amer
ikee before you shall have the Jiat. —
But to use a camp phrase, “were go
ing for you.” So lay off’ your hat, pull
off' your coat, uutie your cravat, kick
off your shoes, light your cigars, and
get up there and let me tell you abuiu
a Lincoln county hen what is a hen.
Mozart and Giuderilla were charac
t rs in their day, but as for soft rnelif
fluous music and sweet inspiring melo
dies, volume, intonations and cadtnse
of voice, your hens aiu’t no where to
our Betsy. The lute and violin ain’t
no where either, and old Homer with
his evleen harp ain’t no where, and
Madam Anna Bishop no where, and
Jenny Lind no where, Madam Paiti no
where, and old Simon Cone and Billy
Woodly no where, and old Joe Sweeny
with bis magic touch and inspiration
on the cat gut ain’t no where*, and John
Seals and Sweep Billups on their ban
jo no where—that is to say, to onr
Betsy, what we are telling you about,
from the county of Lincoln, and State
aforesaid, as she ean beat all of them,
strings easy and hot half try. We do
not know whether She is larger or
smaller than other hens, but she has
quite a martial and majestic walk
among the poultry, although she has,
never been tor Alabama, Paris or Greece
to cultivate her manners. She walks
entirely without either Parisian or
Grecian bend, and like our common
barn yard hens, only a little more so,
has a great fondness for company and
music, and comes into the house and
hums the notes v hen the girls play on the
piabd and sings for the family, and fol
lows mbtber and daughters to the
kitchen, wood pile, smoke house and
over the yard, making every one mer
ry with her sweet warbling melodies;
and accompanies the children in their
ramblee, and takes them over the stream
and back again, and sings them to bed
and asleep; and to hear her soft chant
ing melodies fulling softly about elev
en or twelve o’clock upon the air, and
you are just as good to find an egg as
to Bay “now I lay me down to sleep,
and pray the Lord this ken to keep.”
That is, if you are scuce of Yggs, and
she is not quarrelsome with the head
of the family, and not inclined to pro
voke the old man Chanticleer if he
should happen to crow before her
morning hour to arise; and always
snows due deference to him whenever
S. If. Smith S fb.; Proprietors .
there is any of her. own sex about, and
sings him to sleep as quick as any of
| hie comes about, and always sings to
him her most plain!ive ditties. But to
illustrate her good temper, behavior
and manners, the children when com
pany comes in will pat her on her bqck
and say, “Sing Betsy,*’ -and she com
mences immediately “How firm a
foundation” or some other tune; and
pat her on the back again and sav
“Sing loud Betsy,” and she pitches her
octaves at once to 0, the highest note;
and pat her softly and say “Sing low,
Betsy,” and she immediately drops
from her O note down to a solo.
But her most redeeming trait is in
the last riffle of, the science. Pat again
and say, “Betsy, gi t up in this chair
and sing loud nnd lay me an egg ’’and
she wilt us quickly ascend the chair as
Napoleon the throne, singing aloud
“Hail, Columbia,” or some other favor
ite song, then spread herself out and
lay yon an egg. I only wish I had
time to tell you in time for the
about Betsy, a hen what is a hen* It
is not my hen, but Maj. Barksdaiejs*.
Jk Poet’s Adventure- tn tJcorgla.
A correspondent of fhc New York
Ffowie Journal says;
* Down at Allntoona Pass, in the State
of Georgia, I was told a good
other day, which confirms the truth of
the old line, “Music hath churmt to
soothe the savage breast/’ etc.
L6rtg time ago, the country about
Allatoona was the happy rallying
ground of the Cheiokee Indians, who
were wont to hold the annual festival
of the Green Corn Dauce ut that place.
About the year IB3G, the poet John
Howard Payne, author of the well
known song of “Home, Hweet Home/'
being engaged on a piece of literary
work illustrative of peculiar national
customs, desired to attend the GreVn
Corn Dance of the Cherokee Nation,
for the purpose of writing it up from
personal observation. With this iu
teut he applied to his friend, Rev. 0.
W. Howard, of MilledgeViile, who warn
ed the poet of the danger of his pur
posed undertaking, on account of the
great, disturbances among the Chero
kecs, from horse thievs aud other out
laws, by which the presence of while
men had been iorbicfden. This exclu
sion was enforced by a vigilance force
-of the Georgia State Guard, which had
resulted in the famous persecution and
imprisonment of the missionaries,
Messrs. Worster and Butler, of which
very much was published at the time-.
This danger did not deter the poet
from carrying out his desperate project
of witnessing the Green Corn Dunce.
Accordingly, he proceeded to Allatoo
nu, and fell into the hands of the State
Guard, by whom he was placed under
guard as a dangerous character. As
the weary night wore on, the poet lay
dozing by the camp fire, and the rough
sentinel, to keep liimseif from falling
asleep, would alternate between curs
ing, drinking, chewing and singing.—
At length he struck up the song of
“Home, Sweet Home.” The poet list
ened to the words of his own song,
and when the soldier had finished,
said to him: “Friend, lam the author
of that f-ong 1” There was so much of
apparent sincerity m the poet's man
ner that the rough keeper believed
him true, and in his uncouth humani
ty replied; “‘Well, by —, if you are the
author of that song, you have no busi
ness to be kept here; Do you see that
boss ? Just you mount that beast aud
make yourself scarce.” Bayne did not
stand oh the order of his going; but
went at once, feeling that if his eu.ios
lty had got him into a tight place, the
power of song had let him out of it.
The Atlanta says the foregoing
is not true; and furnishes the follow
ing version of the iucident in the life
of Mr. Payne. He was traveling thro’
the Cherokee Nation, at the time tne
notorious Bishop commanded the Geor
gia Guard —collecting leminisencea of
Italian history for publication in anew
4uiencan jsutnal of science, to be es
tublished in London, but for want of
funds it failed. Whilst ut
m Tennessee, Bishop sent a file of
men, in the night, and arrested him- —
forced him, with vulgar threats,, to
mount a horse, and ride, without bri
dle or saddle, to Spring Place, in Geor
gia. There he was confined tr. a rude
stockade for some time, in daily ap
prehension es assassination, when by
bribery he procured a soldier to take a
letter td the Governor of Tennessee,
who forthwith demanded the discharge
of the prisoner, accompanied with
threats ol armed intervention. The
Governor if Georgia promptly des
patched an officer to the place aud lib
eiated Payne.
Then came a scene which would melt
the heart of iiiut.. He was seated on
his pony, with his cloak and blanket
.buckled on his saddle, and left for
Tennessee; but before he passed the
limits of the town his ciroiuglo broke,
and he fell to the ground. Never hav
ing saddled a horse, he gave up in des
pair, and wept like a child. Two wo
men, washing near by, seeing his dis
tress, came forward and fixed his trap
pings, helped him up, and encouraged
him with kind words, and directed
him on his way, where he safely arriv
ed, and then way to Knox
ville, and thence to Washington. It
wae tho singing of “Home, Sweot
Home,” that touched the rude lieuten
ant’s h»uft and saved tli* poet’ life.
