IT is well known to
Doctors and to Ladies
that Women are subject
to numerous diseases pe
culiar to their sex—such
as Suppression of the
Menses, Whites, Painful'
M’nthly ‘Periods,’ Rheu
matism of the Back and
Womb, Irregular Men
struation, Hemorrhage,
or Excessive ‘Flow,’ and
Prolapsus Uterior Fall
ing of the Womb.
These diseases havesel
doin been treated successfully. The profession
lias sought dil 1 igently for some remedy that wo’ld
enable them to treat these diseases with success.
At last, that remedy has been discovered by
one of the most skilful physicians in the State of
Georgia. The remedy is
Bradneld’s Female Regulator.
It is purely vegetable, and is put up in Atlan
ta, by braDfield X CO.
It will purify the blood and strengthen the
system, relieve irritation of the kidneys, and is
a perfect specific for all the above diseases; as
certain a cure as Quinine is in Chills and Fevers.
For a history of diseases, and certificates of its
worderful cures, the reader is referred to the
wrapper around the bottle. Every bottle war
ranted to give satisfaction or money refunded.

scription both as a practitioner of medicine and
in domestic practice, and can honestly say that
I uonsider it a boon to suffering females, and
• in hut hope that every lady in our whole land,
who may be suffering* in any way peculiar to

their sufferings may not only be relieved, hut
that they may he restored to health X strength.

THE CAUSE ANDCprk OF CONSUMPTION.
—The primary cause ofConsumption is derange
ment of the digestive organs. This derange
ment produces deficient nutrition and assimila
tion. By assimilation I mean that process by
which the nutriment of the food is converted
into blood, and thence into the solids of the
body. Persous with digestion thus impaired,
having the slightest predisposition to pulmon
ary disease, or if they take cold, will he very
liable to have Consolation of the Lungs in some
of its forms; and I hold that it will be impossi
ble to cure any case of Consumption without
first restoring h good digestion and healthy as
similation. The very first thing to be done is
to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis
eased mucus and sliinc, which is clogging these
organs so that they cannot perform their func
tions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to
a healthy action. For this purpose the surest
and best remedy is Scheneks Mandrake Pills.
These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all
the dead and morbid slime that is causing dis
ease and decay In the whole system. They will
clear out the liver of all diseased bile that has
accumulated there, and rouse it up to anew and
healthy action, by which natural and healthy
bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus clean
sed by the use of Schenck’s Mandrake Pills;
but there remains in the stomach an excess
of acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite
poor. In the bowels the lacteals arc weak, and
requiring strength and support. It is in a con
dition like this that SchcncK’s Seaweed Tonic
proves to be the most valuable remedy ever dis
covered, It is alkaline, and it use will nentra
lize all excess of acid, making the stomach
sweet and fresh; it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, anil create a good, hearty
appetite, and prepare the system for the first
process of a good digestion, and ultimately
make good, healthy, living blood. After this
preparatory treatment, what remains to cure
most cases of Consumption is the free and per
severing use of Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. The
Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies
the blood, and is readily absorbed into the cir
culation, and thence distributed to tlie diseased
lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters,
whether in the form of abscesses or tubercles,
and then assists Nature to expel all the disease
matter, in thelorm of free expectoration, when
once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing
and purifying properties ofSchenck’s Puimonic
Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed
lilt sound, and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Con.
sumption is to get up a good appetite and a
good digestion, so that the body w ill crow in
flesh and get strong. If a person has diseased
lungs.—a cavity or abscess there.—the cavity
cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, so long
as the system is below par. What is necessary
to cure is anew order of things,—a good appe
tite, a good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh
and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities
will lieal, the matter will ripen and be thrown
off in large quantities, and the person regain
health and strength. This is the true and only
plan to cure Cot sumption, and if a person is
very bad, if the lungs are not entirely destroy
ed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if there
is enough vitality left in the other to heal up,
there is ltope.
1 have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old
age. This is what Schenck’s Mcdizinesjw ill do
to cure Consumption. They will clean out the
stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up a
good digestion, and give Nature the assistance
she needs to clear the system of all the disease
that is in the lungs, whatever the form may
he.
It is important that while using Scheuck’s
Medicines, care should he exercised not to take
cold; keen in-doors in cold and damp weather;
avoid night air, and take out-door exercise only
in a genial and warm sunshine.
I wish it distinctly understood that when I
recommend a patient to be careful in regard to
taking cold, while using my Medicines, 1 do so
for a special reason. A man who has but. par
tially recovered from the effects of a bad cold
is far more liable to a relapse than one who has
been entirely cured; and it is precisely the
same in regard to Consumption. So long as the
lungs are not perfectly healed, just so long is
there imminent danger of a full return of the
disease. Hence it is that Iso strenuously cau
tion pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial
anti pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’ lungs
are a mass of sores, which the least change of
atmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of
my success with my Medicines consists in ray
ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro
voking it, as many of the faculty do. An in
flamed lung cannot, with safety to the patient,
be exposed to the biting blasts of Winter or the
chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shoul
he carefully shielded from all irritating influ
ences. The utmost caution should be observed
in this particular, as without it a cure under
almost hiiv circumstances is an impossibility.
The per'son should ho kept on a wholesome
and nutritious diet, ami all the Medicines con
tinued until the body has restored to it the nat
ural quanitv of flesh and strength.
I was myself cured by this treatment of the
worst kind of Consumption, and have lived to
get fat and hearty these many years, with one
lung mostly gone. I have cured thousands
since, and very many have been cured by this
treatment whom I have never seen.
About the First of October I expect to take
possession of my new building, at the North
east Corner of Sixth and Arch Sreets, where I
shall be pleased to give advice to all who may
require it.
Full directions accompany all my Remedies,
so that a person in any part of the world can be
readily cured by a strict observance of the
same.

A GRAND OLD POEM.
Who shall judge a man from manners?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may he fit for princes—
Princes fit for something less;
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket,
May be, clothe the golden ore
Os the deepest thoughts and feeling—
Satin vests could do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar
Ever welling out of stone,
There are purple buds and golden
Hidden, crushed and overgrown;
God, who counts by souls, not
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man upraised above his fellows,
Oft forgets his fellows then;
Masters, rulers, lords remember
That your meanest kinds are men;
Men by labor, men by feeling,
Men by thought, men by frame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In a man’s ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little weed-clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high saplings,
There ore cedurs on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations
Loves and prospers you and me;
For, to Him all vain distinctions
Lie as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Os a nation’s wealth or fame;
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
Bj the sweat of others’ foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor man’s outraged freedom
Vuiuly lifted up its voice.
Truth aud justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light,
Secret wrongs shall never prosper,
While there is a sunny right;
God, w hose world-heard voice is singing
Bouudless love to you aud me,
Sinks oppression with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.
SeusomtDlc Hints to Farmers.
Sow early Wheat should be sown
as ei.rly in the fall as possible. That
which is sown early is less liable to
take the rust, and almost invariably
makes the best grain, and the largest
yield. If it is likely to grow too fast,
and be in danger of being injured by
the frost in the spring, it may be pas
tured in February aud March, with
profit to both wheat and stock. This
is our experience. And here we would
say, that no cereal crop is so much
benefited by manure as the wheat.—
A few acres well manured aud sown
early will pay much better than many
seres sown late without the necessary
stimulants. Asa general rule oats al
so do best when sowu early in au
tumn.
How to Save Sweet Potatoes.
Dig soon after tho first white frost,
when the ground is dry. Pile them in
some moderately tight house, find cov
er them well ■with chaff; and as the
weather grows colder, throw some hay,
shucks or fodder over them, and you
will have nice, sound, plump potatoes
late in the spring, provided you nor the
rats don’t eat them before that time.—
To prevent the rats from eating them,
sprinkle lime or ashes among the chaff
ltfits may bo kept out of oats in tbe
same way. Try the above, and you
will say that the recipe is worth ten
times the subscription price of the Ex
press.
Root Crops,
The great objections among farmers
to raising root crops is the great dan
ger of the destruction of the'young
plants by weeds. There is no remedy,
that we can see, but in the greater
care to clean the ground by thorough
fallowing, and tuoroughly rotting the
manure, which must be well incorpo
rated ia the soil by at least three plow
mgs and harrowiugs. This will per
mit the weeds to start and be plowed
under, and torn up and rooted out by
the teeth of the harrow. A fine, rich
soil thus produced, the seed will ger
minate quickly, and get ahead of the
weeds that remain. A well-grown root
crop is the most valuable, and will
carry the most stock per acre.
Vermin on Stock.
A correspondent says, he feeds his
stock a teaspoonful of sulplier to each
animal, with their salt-, once in two
weeks. \\ hen Lie has done so, no ver
min have troubled them, and his dairy
cows have not been affected with gar
get, nor his sheep with grub in the
head, lie has practiced this twenty
years.
Sowing Clover.
Now is a good time to sow clover
seed. Put uo crop with seed, except
it be for protection—when sown after
raising a crop of oats, enough oats will
come up from the stubble for protec
tion. Corn is a sure crop for clover to
catch with, if sown between the rows,
even then sow oats with the seed.
Evergreens.
Seedlings of evergreen and other for
est trees require to be shaded from
the hot sun by means of brush, or,
what is better, a latice work of laths.
A mulch of hay or straw between the
rows of larger plants will prevent tho
growth of many weeds, and thus save
time and labor in weeding.
Hiring Ollier People's Laborer#.
The following decision of the Su
preme Court, is of general interest to
planters, and we commend it to their
attention;
S. P. Salter vs. John Howard. Case
from Houston.
Lochbane, J.—Where A sued B to
recover damages for the enticement
and employment by B of servants on
the plantation of A, which he alleges
were hired by him for the year 1866,
and a motion was made for a non-suit
by defendant, on the ground that the
proof failed to show a valid and mutu
ally binding contract between A and
the servants; the fact being that A and
such servants had entered into a writ
ten contract, but which had not been
signed or approved by the Freedman’s
Bureau, though contemplated that it
should be so submitted for approval
by the parties thereto, but the servants
had gone od uuder the contract, and
were at work at A’s plantation, and
bad been there nearly a month, and
the court ordered tho non-suit.
Held , That this was not error by
the court. After the emancipation of
slaves iu Georgia, they were compe
tent to contract for their labor, and
while in the employment of one under
a contract it was illegal for any other
person to interfere and hire them, and
such person cannot under our laws de
fend himself against the wrong, by set
ting up questions arising on the con
tract of such servants by A.
Held, Again, where upou tho trial
for enticement of servants from the
employment of another, the court per
mitted evidence of consequential dam
age to go to the jury, to the effect that
the servants he first employed had
provisions, and those he subsequently
employed to take their place had not,
by which he was compelled to furnish
provisions, and making a poor crop,
such persons were unable to pay him
for the provisions furnished out of
their share of the crop, by which he
was damaged, that this was error; the
damage tne law recognizes as legal to
be recovered upon such action, an ac
tual damage sustained by the act at
the time of its commission, and the ex
pense and true kiss in getting other
servants, or injuries to the crop by in
terruption of the labor thereon, or fail
ure to obtain other labor after faith
ful effort to do so, or losses of like
character, are proper and legal for the
consideration of the jury.
Held , The court erred in refusing a
new trial upon the admission of illegal
evidence, which misled the jury on the
question of damages under the facts in
this case.

LIFT UP THE FALLEN.
Lift up the fallen—who can tell
How hard they struggled ere they fell?
ADd though the way is dark they go,
They would not always have it so.
For there is scarce so vile a heart
That does not have a better part
Which longs at times for higher bliss,
Or sighs for other than it is.
O! let not then a crushing frown
Fall on the frail ones that are down;
Since they, perchance, would gladly rise
But for the weight of scoruful eyes.
If in their hearts hope lingers yet
To dull one arrow of regret,
Dare not to point the dart anew
That way sometime be aimed at you.
For you no syren may have sung,
Nor yet have been a lying tongue;
So, standing, ponder lest you fall,
And be yourself the scorned of all.
Lift up the fallen—pity them;
Christ taught to love, and not condemn
And still He loaves a shining track
To light the wayward wand’rer back.
Intimacy with €lirtst.
It is the wisdom of life, as well as its
joy, to be always feeling this great need
of Jesus. A true Christian feels that
he could no more live for an hour with
out Jesus than he could an hour with
out air, or under the water. There is
something delightful, in this sense of
utter dependence upon Jesus. It is
otir only rest, our*buly liberty in the
world. It is the,bondage of our im
perfection, that wg can not be directly
and actually Jesus all day
and night, yet it is astonishing how
near we come to this. Our very sleep
at last becomes subject to the thought
of Jesus; and saturated with it. It'is
part of the gladness of growing older;
not only that we are thereby drawing
nearer to our first sight of him, but
that we feel our dependence upon*him
mere and more. We have learned
more about him. We have had longer
and more varied experience of him.—
Our love for him has become more of a
passion, which, by a little effort, prom
ises at some not very distant day to be
dominant and supreme. The love of
Jesus never can be ungrowing. In our
physical life, as we grow older, wo bo
come more sensible to cold aud wind,
to change of place, and to alterations
of the weather. So as we grow older
in our spiritual life, we become more
sensitive to the presence of Jesus, to
the necessity of him, and to his indis
pensable sweetness. A constantly in
creasing sensible love of our dearest
Lord is the safest mark of our grow th
in holiness aud the most tranqniliziug
prophecy of our final perseverance.—

The following extract from a reli
gious cotemporary is well calculated
to set folks to thinkiug, iu view of the
hazy political atmosphere that sur
rounds us:
“All the kingdoms of the world are
in agitation and solicitude. Revolu
tion, anarchy, threatens every one of
them. There have been wars, and new
ones are breeding. There are moral per
turbations among men. Suicides aud
all manner of crimes and wrong do--
ings are abounding beyond example.—
There are fearful accidents by sea and
by land. There are earthquakes in
these last few years, beyond all exam
ples in history. There are furious
tempests iu the air, in regions that
counted themselves exempt from the
like. Frightful accidents, defying hu
man foresight, are multiplying. Un
natural crimes are more prevalent than
histories of our ancestors have ever
even by exaggeration, recounted. In
the East, where plagues come to our
shores, in Persia, we read of frightful
scenes of famine and pestileuce togeth
er. Among thoughtful minds there is
a foreboding of calamities soon to
come on our country. The pride, the
fullness of bread, the abundance of
idleness, was never more marked in
Babylon or in Tyre, than in our Baby
lon and Tyre of the West, New York,
and all the tow ns and villages aud rail
road stations of the country are but
New York extended. This proud, this
voluptuous, this unbridled people, are
calling on heaven for a visitation.”

There is a dress question in which
all Christian congregations have a
common interest, and with regard to
which we wish they might all unite to
effect a reform. It has reference to
the ordinary apparel—female apparel
especially—proper to wear at church.
There was a time when good taste de
manded the use of the plainest clothes
in the sanctuary, when the wealthiest
were distinguished for the conspicuous
absence of personal adornment, aud
sartorial display was a mark of vulgar
ity at such times and places. But
now-a-days in the congregation, on the
Sabbath, rich find poor alike seem on
a despurate strain, the one to in.ike
some faint approximation to the other
in point of extravagant display, and
the other to demonstrate the utter
hopelessness of the attempt. It would
almost appear as if, whatever might
be tnougiit of the propriety of a mod
est garb in other places, the proper
costume for the house of God, where,
theoretically, w f e all go to be reminded
of our common origin and destiny,
were an agglomeration of all the jew
elry, and all the chignons, and all the
paniers, and .ill the feathers and fur
belows in one’s wardrobe. The w ear
er is to carry all this piled agony to
the sanctuary as to a fair—as if her
errand were not so much to praise as
to be appraised—and there employ
the saered time in envious comparison
of her own mountain of millinery with
the Hiwplaya triumphs of her neigh
bor. Shall we ever get back to the stau
daril of good taste and unobtrusive
piety in this? Will not all good Chris
tian people —especially those whose
wealth aud refinement make them the
proper aud only efficient leaders in
such a reform—will not the pulpit of
every church aud of every sect unite in
the effort Io effect it?— Christian Union.
Bishop morris on Prcachiug.
At the late session of the Cincinna
ti Conference, says the Western Chris
tian Advocate, at the request of
Bishop Scott, Bishop Morris address
ed the class admitted into full con
nection. In substance his remarks
were these: ‘Brethren, after trying
the experiment, you have deliberately
chosen to preach the gospel for life.—
I mean you have chosen to preach the
gospel—not to read compositions.—
To preach means to, with the voice
proclaim the gospel to the people,
face to face. The more religion you
have, the deeper you are experienced
in the Scriptures, the better you can
preach the gospel. Now, to love God
with all the heart, is the first and
great commandment; and the second,
to love your neighbor as yourself, is
like unto it. Keep these, and it will
be well with you. In preparation for
the pulpit—for no man can preach
right without preparation—have ref
erence to two things. The first is:
when you speak be sure to say some
thing; and the second is; Quit when
you are done.

Remarkable ffliisonlc Incident.
—-
The first Masonic funeral that over
; occurred in California, took place in
the year 1840, and was performed
i over the body of a brother found in the
Bay of Ban Francisco. An account of
the ceremonies states that on the body
of the deceased was found a silver
mark of a Mason, upon which was on
graved the initials of his name. A lit
tle further investigation revealed to
the beholder !he most singular exhibi
tion of Masonic emblems that was ev
er drawn by the engenuity of man up
on the human skin. There is uotbing
in the history or traditions of Freema
sonry equal to it. Beautifully dot
ted on his left arm, in a red and bine
ink which time could not efface, ap
peared all the emblems of the entered
apprenticeship. There were the Holy
Bible, the square and compass, the
twenty-f ur inch guage and common
gavel. There was also the Masonic
pavement, representing the ground
tloor of King Solomon’s Temple, the
indented tessel which surrounds it, and
the blazing star in theeenlre. On his
right arm, and artistically executed in
the same indelliblc liquid, were the
emblems pertaining to the fellow-craft
degree, viz.: the square, the level and
the plumb. There were also five or
ders of architecture-the Tuscan, Do
ric, lonic, Corinthian, Composite.
In removing the garments from bin
body the trowel presented itself with
all the other tools of operative mason
ry. Over his heart was the pot of in
cense. On the other parts of bis body
were the bee hive, the “Book of Oon
sthution,” guarded by the Tyler’a
sword, the sword pointing to a naked
heart; the All-seeing eye; the anchor
and ark; the hour-glass; the scythe; the
second problem of Euclid; the sun,
moon, stars and commel; tho throe
steps, emblematical of youth, manhood
and age. Admirably executed was the
weeping virgin, reclining upon a bro
ken column upon which lay the “Book
of Constitutions.” In her left hand
she held the pot of in sense, the Ma
sonic emblem of immortality of the
soul. Immediately beneath her stood
winged Time, with his scythe by his
side, which cuts the brittle thread of
life, and tho hour-glass at his feet-,
which is ever reminding us that our
lives are withering away. The with
ered and attenuated fingers of tho De
stroyer wore placed among the long
and gracefully flowing ringlets of tho
disconsolate mourner. Tiius were the
stricken emblems of mortality beauti
fully blendid in one pictorial represen
tation. It was a spectacle such as
Masons never saw before, and, in all
probability, such as the fraternity will
never witness again. The brothers
was never known. —Colorado Citizen.

S@L-If an editor omits anything, he
is lazy. If he speaks of things as they
are, people are mad. If he glosses
over—smooths down the rough points
—he is bribed. If he calls things by
their proper names, he is unfit for the
position of an editor. If he doe* not
furnish his readers with jokes, he is a
mullet. If he does he is a rattlehead
—lacking stability. If he condemns
the wrong, he is a good follow; but
lacks discretion. If be lets wrongs
and injuries go unmentioned, he|is a
coward. * If he fails to uphold a pub
lic man, he does it to gratify spite—is
a tool of a clique, or belongs to the
,outs.’ If he indulges in personalities,
he is a blackguard, if he does not, his
paper is dull and iesipid.
