BRAD FI ELD'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 mav bo restored to health A strength. With my kindest regards, I am, respectfully, W. B. FERRELL, M. D. We, the undersigned Druggists, take pleasure in commending to the trade. Dr. J.

Atlanta, Ga. W. ROOT & SON, Marietta, Ga. DR. PR OP HITT’S 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 the Mouth, the skin 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 ardor, you are liable to every disease that is not conta gious. Prophilfc’s Liver Medicine, if taken properly, will prevent and cure any disease resulting from a deranged liver. It will regulate its functions and tints cure all diseases caused by the failure of its healthy ac tion. It lias been used for a great number of years, and has given universal satisfaction. There is no brother or son claiming to have the origiotial recipe. It is put up in both Pow der aud Fluid form. Fairbubn, Ga., Sept. 4, 1888. DR. O. S. PROPIIITT: Sirz 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 complete cure. Respectfully, &e., GEO. L. THOM AS. Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 24,1868. T have used Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi cine as a tonic, and found it to be powerful and efficacious.

C’h. Marion County, Texas, Aug. 1, 1869. DR. O. S. PROPIIITT: Dear Sir: I write vou this to inform you that F have been troubled a great deal with ‘indiges tion. but after using one bottle of your Liver Medicine, I find great relief. 1 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, DICK LOCKETE. Dr. Prophitt’s Dysentery Cordial, Is one of the most valuable compounds now put up for Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infantum, or Cholera Morbus.

PROPII IT T ’ S Pain Kill It. Th is is the celebrated medicine that ran Perry Davis’rain 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 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 naturefullv. It is truly DEATH to pain.

MANY a human being has passed away, for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect of known and indisputably proven means of cure. Those near and dear to family and friends are sleeping the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted DR. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of bis wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Sc.henck basin his own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and his directions for tlioir use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there is nothing presump tuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no representation that is not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck’s medicines is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self-assuring, sell convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first, two weapons with which the citadel of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consumption originate in dyspepsia 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 cul minating result, and the setting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are composed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum I’elta 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. Chylification is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to 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, Svrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com plete the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot he cheated. It collects and ripens the impaired portions of the lungs. In the form of gatherings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lo ! in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that it occupied is renovated and made new, and the patient, in ail the dignity of' regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the woman 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 of the country in the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose patients, if their lungs arc 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 food circulation of blood. The patients must cep 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. Schcnck’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 my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in mv lungs, and 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 my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since.” “I was weighed shortly after my recovery,” added the Doctor, “theu looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twenty-five pounds, and for years I have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. J If. 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 he charged five dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact condition of the 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 these directons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Pills are to he taken in increased doses ; 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 symptom. When it comes, as it will come, let the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short time both of tkese morbid symptoms are gone forever. Dr. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept in 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 he regarded as a prophylacteric against consumption in anv of its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, 0r57,50 a half dozen. Man drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all druggists and dealers. JOHN F.

AYCOUv i Macrb 24-lm. Led Out of Oasigur. -BY JEAN INGELOW. Wfco is this? A little careless mid shipman, itllin" about in a great city, with his pockets full of money. He is waiting for the coach; it comes up presently. Aud he goes on the top of it, and begins to look about him. ’hey soon leave the chimney tops behind them; his eye wanders with delight over the bnrvesis fields. He smells the honey-suckle in the hedge row and wishes he was down among the hazel bushes that he might strip them of the milky nuts; then he sees a gie it wained piled up with barley, and he wishes he was on the top of it; then the checkered shadows of the trees tying across the white road, and then a squirrel runs up a bough, and he c nnot forbear to whoop and hal loo, though he cannot chase it to its nest. The, other passengers were delighted with his simplicity and child-like glee; and they encouraged him to talk about the sea and the ships, especial ly Her IVlajesty’s, wherein he has the honor to sail. In the jargon of the seas, he describes her many perfec tions, upon -her peculiar advantages; he then confides to them how a cer tain middy, having been ordered to the mast-head as a punishment* had seen, while sitting on the top-mast cross trees, something uncommonly like the sea-serpent—but finding this Lent received with incredulous smiles he begins to tell them how he hopes that some day he shall be promoted to have charge of the poop. The pas sengers hope he will have that honor; they have no doubt that he deserves it. His cheeks flush with pleasure to hear them say so, and little thinks that they have no notion in what ‘‘that honor” may happen to consist. The coach stops; the midshipman, with hands in his pockets, sits rattling his money aud singing. There is a poor woman standing by the door of the village inn; she looks care-worn, and well she may, for in the spring her husband went up- to London to seek for work. He goes for work, and she was expecting soon to join him there, when, alas! a fellow workman wrote her word how he had met with an accident, how he was very bad, and wanted his wife to come and nurse him. But as she has two children and destitute, she must walk all the way, and she is sick at heart when she thinks that perhaps si.e may die among strangers before she can reach him. She does not think of begging, but seeing the boy’s eyes attracted to her, she makes a courtesy, and he with draws his hand and throws down a sovereign. She looks at it with in credulous joy, and then at him. “It’s all right,” he says, and the coach starts again, while full of grati tude, she lures a cart to take her across the country to the railway, that the next night she might sit beside her sick husband. 'J he midshipman knows nothing about that—and he never will know. The passengers go on talking—the little midshipman has told them who he is and where he is going. But there is one who has never joined in the conversation; he is a dark-looking and restless man—he sits apart, he sees the glitter of the falling coin, and now he watches the boy more closely than he did before. He is a strong,man, resolute and di tennined; the buy • with his pockets full cf money will be no match for him. lie has told the others that his fath er’s house is the parsonage at X , the coach goes within five miles of it, and he means to get out at the near est point and walk or rather run, over to his home through the great wood. The man ecided to get down, too, and go through the wood; he will rob the little midshipman; perhaps, if he cries out and struggles, he will do worse. The boy, he thinks, will have no chance against him; it is quite im possible that he can escape; the way is lonely, and the sun will be down. >o. There seemed indeed little chance for his escape; the half-fledged bird just fluttering down from his nest has no more chance against the keen-eyed hawk, than the ligh hearted sailor boy will have against him. And now they reach the village m here the boy is to alight. He wishes the other passengers “Good evening !” and runs lightly down between the scattered houses. The man has also got down and is following. The path lies through the village church-yard; there is evening service, and the door is wide open, for it is warm. The little midshipman steals up the porch looks in and listens.— Hie clergyman has just risen from his knees, in the pulpit, and is giving out the text. Thirteen months have pass ed since the boy was in a house of prayer; aud a feeling of pleasure in duced him to stand still and listen. He bears the opening sentences of the sermon; and then he remembers his home and comes soMv out of the porch, full of a calm and serious pleas ure. The clergyman has reminded him of his father, and his careless heart is filled with the echoea yf his voice and of his praters. He thinksof what the clergy man said of the care of onr Heavenly fathor for us; he remembers how, when he left home, his father prayed that he might be preserved through every danger; he does not remember any particular danger that be has been exposed to, excepting in the great storm; but h$ is grateful he has e' me home in safely, ami he hopes whenever he shall be in danger, which he supposes ho shall be some day, he hopes that then the providence of God will watch over him aud protect hiru. And so pressed on ward to the entrance of the wood. “Are not two sparrows,” he hears, “sold for a farthing ? and one shall not fall to the ground without your fath er’s notice. But the hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not, thre fore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” The man is there before him. He has pushed himself into the thicket, and out, with a heavy slake; ho suf fers the boy to go on before, and then ho comes out, falls into the path, and follows him. It is too light at pres ent for his deed of darkness, and too near the entrance of the wood, but he knows that shortly the path will brauch cff in two, and the right one for the Loy will be dark and lonely. But what prompts the little mid shipman, when not fifty rods from the branching of the path, to break into a sudden run ? It is not fear—he never dreamed of danger. Some sud den impulse, or wild wish for home makes him dash off suddenly after his saunter with a w hoop and bound.— Ou he goes as if running a race; the path bends and the man looses sight of him. “But I shall have him yet,” he thinks; he cannot keep up the pace long. The boy has nearly reach ed the place where the path divides, when he starts up a white owl, that can scarcely fly as he goes whirling along close to the ground before him. He gains upon it; another moment and it will be his. Now he gets the start again; they come to the branching of the paths, and the bird goes down the wrong one. The temptation to follow is too strong to be resisted; “he knows that somewhere deep in the wood there is a cross track by which he can get into the track he has left; it is on ly to run a little faster, and ho shall be home nearly as soon. On he rushes, the path takes a bend, and he is out of sight w hen his pursuer comes where the palh divides. The boy has turned to the right—the man takes the left, aud the faster they both run the further they are asunder. The white owl still leads him on; the path gets darker aud narrower; at last he finds that he’s missed it alto gether, and his feet are on the soft ground. He flounders about among the trees and stumps, vexed with him self and panting after his race. At last he hits upon another track and pushes on as fast as he cm. The ground begins sensibly to descend; he has lost his way but he keeps bearing on to the left; and though it is n >w dark, he thinks he must reach the main path sooner or later. He does not know this part of the wood but runs on. Oh, little midship man ! why did you chase that owl ? If you had kept the path with the dark man behind you, there was a chance that you might outrun him, or, if he had overtaken you some passing wayfarer might have heard your cries, and come lo save you. Now you are running straight on to your death for the forest water is deep and black, at the bottom of this bill. Oh, that the moon would come out and show it to you! The moon is under a thick canopy of heavy black clouds, and there is not a star to glitter on the water and mako it visible. The fern is soft un der his feet as he runs and slips down the sloping hill. At last he strikes against a stone, stumbles and falls.— Two minutes more and he will fall in to the black water. “Heyday!” cried the boy, “what’s this? O.b, how it tears my bands!-- Oh ! this thorn-bush ? Oh ! my arm ! I can’t free!” He struggles and pnnts. “All this comes of leaving the path,” he says; “I shouldn’t have cared for rolling down if it hadn’t been for this bush. The fern was soft enough. 111 never stray away in a wood at night again. There, free at last! And my jacket nearly torn oft' my back !” With a good deal of patience, and u' great many scratches, he gets free of the thorn which has arrested his pro gress when his feet' were within a yard ol the water, manages to scram ble to the bank, and makes the best of hip way through the wood. And now, as the clouds move slow ly onward, the moon shows her face od the black surface of the water and the little owl comes and hoots, and flutters over it like a wandering snow drift. But the boy is in the wood again, and knows nothing of the dan ger from which he lias escaped. All this time the dark passenger follows the main track, and believes that the boy is before him. At last he hears a crashing of dead boughs, and pres ently the little midshipman’s voice fif ty yards before him. Yes, it will pass the cottage in the wood directly, and after that his pursuer will come upon him. The boy bounds into the path; but as he sees the cottage, he is thirsty and so hot, that he thinks he must ask the inhabitants if they can sell him a glass of ale. He enters without ceremony.— “Ale ” says the woodman, who is sit ting at his supper. “No, we have no ale; but perhaps my wife can give thee a driuk of milk. Come in.” So he comes in, shuts the door, and while he sits waiting for the milk, footsteps - pass. They are the footsteps, of the pursu er; who goes on with the stake in his S. J[. Smith S' Cos., Proprietors. | hand, angiy and impatient Ihat lio has not yet come up with him. The woman goes to the dairy for | milk and the l>oy thinks she has gone a long time. He drinks it, thanks her, | and takes his leave. It is very dark; but there is a yellow I streak in the sky, where the inoqu is plowing up a furrowed mass of gray clouds, and one or two stars are blink ing throngh the branches of the trees. Fast the boy follows, and fast the man runs on, with his weapon in Lis hand. Suddenly he hears the joyous whoop—not before but behind him. He stops and listens noiselessly. Yes, it is so. He pushes himself into toe thicket, and raises his stake, whea the boy shall pass. On ho comes, running lightly, with his hands in his pockets. • A. sound strikes at the same instant tbs ears of both, and the boy turns back from the very jaws of doatl) to listen. It is the sound of wheels and it draws rapidly nearer. A man comes up, driving a gig. “ liilloa !” he says, in a loud, cheerful voice. “ What, benighted youngster ?” “ Oh, is it you, Mr. D.?” says the boy; “ no, I am not benighted; or, at any rate, I know my way out of the woods.” The man drew further back among the shrubs “ Why, bless tbo boy,” lie hears the farmer say. “ To> think of our meeting in this way! The parson told me that ne was iu hopes of seeing thee some day this week.. I’ll give thee a lift. This is a lone place to be in this time of night.” “ Lone,” says the boy, laughing. I don’t mind that ; and if you know the way, it’s as safe as a quarter-deck.” So he gets into the farmer’s gig, and is once more out of reach of the pur suer. But the man knows that the farmer’s house is a quarter of a mile nearer than the parsonage, and in that quarter of a mile there is still a chance of committing robbery. He determin ed still to make the attempt, and cuts across the wood with such rapid strides* that he reached the farmers gate just as the gig drives up to it. “Well, thank you, farmer,” says the little midshipman, as he prepares to* get down. “I wish you good night gentlemen,” says the man when he passes. “Good night, friend,” the farmer re plies. “I say, my boy, it’s dark night enough; but I have a mind to drive you on the to parsonage and hear the rest of this long tale of yours about the sea-serpent. The little wheels go on agin. They pass the man; and ho stands still in the road to listen till the sound dies away. Tlieu he flings his stake iuto tho hedge,, and goes back again. His evil purpo- - ses have all been frustrated—the thoughtless boy has baffled him at ev ery step. And now the little midshipman is at home; the joyful meeting lias takeu place; and when they have all admired his growth; and decided whom he is like, and measured his height on the window-frame and seen him eat his supper, they begin to question him, about his adventures, more for tho pleasure of hearing him talk than a. curiosity. ,‘Adventures !” says tho boy, seated between father aid mother on the sofa. Why, ma, I did write you on ac count of the voyage, and there’s noth ing else to tell. Nothing happened to day— or at least nothin particular. ‘Yon come by the coach we told you of?’ asked the father. • “O, yes, papa, when wc got about twenty miles, there came up a beggar, while we were changing horses, and I threw down (as I thought) a shilling; but as it fell I saw it was a sovereing. She was veiy* honest and showed mo what it was, but I didn’t take it back, for you know, mamma, it is a long time since I gave anything to anybody. “Very true, my boy,” his mother an swers; “but you should never be care less with your money, and few beggars are worthy objects of charity.” “I suppose you got down at the cross-roads ?” said his elder brother. “Yes, and went through the woods. ’I should have been here sooner, if I hadn’t lost my way hero.” “Lost your way !” said his motLer, alarmed; “my dear boy, you should not have left the path at dusk.” “Oh, ma” said the little midshipman, with a smile, “your e always thinking we are iu dauger. If you could see W sometimes sitting at the jib-boom end, or across the main-top-mast-cross-tree, you would be frighteued. But what danger can there be in a wood?” “Well, my boy,” she answers. “I don't wish to be over anxious, and make my children uncomfortable by my fears. What did you stray from the path for?” “Only to catch a little owl, mamma; but I didn’t catch her, after all. I got a roll down a bank, and caught my jacket against a thornbush, which was rather unlucky. Ah ! three large holes I see in my sleeve, and so I scrambled up agaiu, and got into the right path, and asked at the cottage for some beer. What a long time the woman kept me, to be siv»e, I thought shn would never come. But very soon af ter, Mr. IX drove up in his gig and brought me on to the gale.” “And so this account of your adven tures being brought toJ, close,” his father says, “we discovy there are no. adventures to telL” “No, papa, nothing happened-nolh itig particular I mean.” Nothing particular. If they could, have known, they wonjd have thought lightly in comparison of the d:;ng< of the jib-boom’s end find the mam- NUMBER 44.
