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 ol'the Back and
Womb, Irregular Men
struation, Hemorrhage,
or Excessive ‘Flow,’ and
Prolapsus fterior Fall
ing ol the Womb.
These diseases havesel
dom been treated successfully. The profession
ha-- sought, dill i gently for some remedy that wo'ld
enable them to treat these diseases with success.
At last, that remedy has lieen discovered by
one of the most skilful physicians in the State of
Georgia. The remedy is
Bradfield’s Female Regulator.
It is purely vegetable, and is put up in Atlan
ta, !>;, BRA DFIELD & 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 a< Quinine is in < hills 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.

BRADFIELD & CO., ATLANTA, GA.:
Dear Sirs: I take pleasure in stating that I

mended. 1 have been familiar with the pre
scription both as a practitioner of medicine and
in domestic practice, and can honestly say that
I consider it a boon to suffering females, and
can but hope that every lady in our whole land,
who may he suffering in any way peculiar to
their sex, may be able to procure a bottle, that
their sufferings may not only be relieved, but
tli.it they may be restored to health & strength.

THE CAUSE AND Cure OF CONSUMPTION.
—The primary cause oft lonsumptioll is derange
ment of tiie digestive organs. This derange
ment produces deficient nutrition and assimila
tion. By assimilation I mean that process by
which tiie nutriment of the food is converted
into blood, and thence into the solids of the
body. Persons with digestion thus impaired,
having the slightest predisposition to pulmon
ary disease, or if they take cold, will be ven
liable to have Constitution of the Lungs in some
ofits forms; and 1 hold that it will be impossi
ble to cure any case of Consumption without
first restoring a good digestion and healthy as
similation. Tiie very first thing to be done is
to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis
eased mucus and slime, 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 Schenck’s 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 ih.it 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 ideali
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 lactcals are weak, and
requiring strength and support. It is in a con
dition like this that Schenek’s Seaweed Tonic
proves to be the most valuable remedy ever dis
covered, It is alkaline, and it use will neutra
lize all excess of acid, making tiie stomach
sweet and fresh; it will give permanent tone to
this important organ, and create a good, hearty
appetite, and prepare the system lor the first
process of a good digestion, and ultimately
makegood, healthy, living blood. After thi'*
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 the diseased
lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters,
whether in the form of abscesses or tubercles,
and then assists Nature to expel all tiie disease
matter, in tiie torm of free expectoration, when
once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing
and purifying properties of Schenek’s Puimonic
Syrup, that :ul ulcers and cavities are healed
up sound, and mv 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 will grow 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 bodv to grow in flesh
and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities
will heal the matter will ripen and lie thrown
off iu large quantities, and the person regain
health and strength. This is the true and only
plan to cure Cm 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 hope.
I have seen many persons cured with onlv one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old
age. This is what Schenck’s Medizinesjw 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 tbe disease
that is in the lungs, whatever the form may
be.
It is important that while using Schenek’s
Medicines, care should be exercised not to take
cob!; keep in-doors in cold and damp weather;
avoid night air, and take out-door exercise only
in a genial and warm sunshine.
I tvisli it distinctly understood that when I
recommend a patient to be careful in regard to
taking cold, wnile using my Medicines, I do so
for a special reason. A man who has blit par
tially recovered from tbe effects of a bail cold
is far more liable to a relapse than one wrho has
lieen entirely cured; and it is precisely tiie
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, lienee it is that Iso strenuously cau
tion pulmonary patients against exposing
themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial
and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’ lungs
are amass 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 tiie faculty do. An in
flamed lung cannot, with safety to the patient,
be exposed to the biting blasts of Winter or tbe
chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shout
be carefully shielded from all irritating influ
ences. The utmost caution should be observed
in this particular, as without it a cure under
almost any circumstances is an impossibility.
The person should he kept on a wholesome
and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con
tinued until the body has restored to it the nat
ural quanity 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 1 have never seen.
About the First of October I expect to take
possession of my new building, at the North
east Corner of Sixth ami 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 lie
readily cured by a strict observance of the
s i me.

“Onward and Upward
POETRY.
THci Tlirre LAttic Chairs.
They sat alone by the bright wtxxl
fire,
The gray-haired dame and the aged
sire.
Dreaming of days gone bv;
The tear-drops fell on each wrink
led cheek.
They both had thoughts they could
not speak,
And each heart uttered a sigh.
For their sud and tearful eyes des
cried
Three little chairs placed side by
side.
Against the sitting-room w 11;
Old fashioned enough *ts there they
stood,
Their seats of flag and their frames
of wood,
With their backs so straight and
tall.
Then the sire shook his silvery head,
And with trembling voice he gently
said:
“Mother, these emptv chairs !
They bring 11s such sad, sad thoughts
to-night,
We’ll put them forever out of sight.
In the small, dark room up stairs.”
But she answered, “Father, not yet,
For 1 look at them, and I forget
That the children are away;
The boys come back, and our Mary,
too,
With her apron on, of checkered
blue,
And si' here ev ry day.
‘ Johnny comes back from the bil
lows deep,
Willie wakes from his battle-field
sleep,
To say g t > me;
Mary’s a wife and a mo'her no more,
But a tired child whose playtime is
o f er,
Aid ouii.es to rest a f . my kuce.
“So let them stand fiore, though
empty now;
And every time when alone we bow
At the Father’s throne to pray,
We’ll ask to meet with the children
above,
In our Saviour’s home of rest and
lo\e,
Where no child goeth away.”
Tears.
BY FATHER RYAN.
Tears trickle down our eves
They do not fall to earth and dry;
They so..r like angels to the skies;
And, like angels, cannot die.
For oh ! our immortality
Sounds through each ear —sounds
iu each sigh.
What waves of tears surge o’er the
deep
Os sorrows in our restless souls!
Aud they are strong, not weak, who
w<ep,
Those drops, from out the sea
that roll
Within their hearts forever more;
W ithin a depth—without a shore.
But ah, the tears that are not wept;
The tears that never outward fall,
The tears that grief, for years has
kept
Within us—they are best of all
The tears our eyes shall never know!
Are deeper than the tears that flow’,
Each night, upon earth’s flowers be
low,
The dew comes down from dark
est skies;
Aud every night our tears of woe
Go up, like dews, to Paradise;
To keep iu bloom, and make more
fair
The flowers of crow ns we yet shall
wear.
For ah, the sures! w’ay to God
Is up the lonely stream of tears
That flow, when bending ’ueath his
rod,
And till the tide of our past years.
On laughter’s billows hearts are
tossed —
On waves of tears no heart is lost.
Flow on ye tears! and bear me
home!
Flow on, ye waves of deeper woe !
Flow on, ye tears, that are but foam,
Os deeper waves that will not
flow!
A little while—l reach the shore
Where tears flow not—forevermore!
Take II Home to Yourself.
BY MBS. M. A. KIDDER.
You will pass your opinion
Upon the man’s act,
You may lav him up on the shelf,
But before you bring in
Your verdict, my friend,
Just take the case home to yourself.
Bring all the temptations,
And trials, and cares
To bear on your own heart and life—
The weakness, and sorrows,
The pinchings of want,
The battliugs with sin, ami the strife.
Let tender-browd Charity
Stand by your side,
Soy lie turned from your duty by pelf;
| Be just without cruelty—
. True as good steel—
But take the case home to yourself.
True ifcroUiil.
Let other* write of battles fought,
Os bloody, ghastly fields,
Where honor gree s the man who
wins,
An il denth the man who yields;
But I will write of him who tights
Aud vanquishes his tuns,
Who struggles on through weary
years
Against himself, aud wins.
He is a hero, stauch and brave,
Who tights an unseen foe,
And puts at last between his feet,
His passious, base aud low;
W T ho stands erect in manhood’s
might.
Undaunted, undismayed—>
The bravest man who drew a sword
Iu foray or iu raid.
It calls for something more than
brawn
Or muscles to o’ereome
An enemy who marcheth not
With banner, plume, aud drum—
A foe forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread,
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed.
All honor, brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Wh o struggles with his better part,
Who conquers and is free.
He may not wear a hero’s crown.
Or till a hero’s grave,
But truth will place his name among
The bravest of the”.brave.
A Gentleman. N>miu is a genilo
man who, withou; provocation, would
maltreat the humbles of his species;
nor has any man occasi »n for pride of
ungentlemanliness, whose mauhoou
has nothing in it of religion. To treat,
without cause, the beggar with incivil
ity, is a breach of etiquette for which
no ac oinplishmeut of .uvss or address
can ever make amends. Show us the
mau who de.-ires to make »,very persou
wit 1 whom ho cjn.es in contact happy,
wuose greatest solicitude is never to
give offence to any one, and we will
show you a gentleman by nature and
by practice, though he may never have
worn a broadcloth coat, nor heard of
a lexicon.
A few nights since, at a late
hour, the sj eaking tube at the office
of one of New Haven’s popular physi
cians was used by some midnight wag,
to the following effect : The doctor
was in a sound sleep, when he was
partially awakened by a “ halloo”
through the tube, when the following
dialogue took place;
“Well, wuat do you waut ?”
“Does Dr. Joues live here ?”
“Yes, what do you waut?”
“Are you Dr. Jones?”
“Yes— yes! what do j’ou want?”
hy, how long have you lived
here ?”
‘ Some twenty years; why?”
“W hy? why dont’t you move?"
“If you stay there about ten seconds
more you 11 find lam moving!” and
be bounded out of bed, but the pa
tient was heard “moving” down the
street at a rate that defied pursuit.
Temperance.— One of the beat tem
perance sermons ever delivered is this
sentence by the late Rev. S imuel J.
May: “If it is a small sacrifice for
you to give up drinking wine, do it
for the sake of others; if it is a great
sacrifice, do it for your own sake.”
There is no funeral so sad to follow
as the funeral of our own youth, which
we have been pumperiug with fond de
sires, ambitious hopes, and all the
bright berries that hang in poisouous
clusters ov. r the path of life.
“That man,” says a wag, “came to
this city forty years ago, purchased a
basket, and commenced gathering rags.
How much do you suppose he is worth
now?’ We gave it up. “Nothing.”
he continued, after a pause, “aud he
owes for the basket.”
Suabbles, an old bachelor, shows his
stockings, which he had just darned,
to a maiden lady, who contemptuously
remarked, “Pretty good for a man
darner.” Whereupon, Squabbles re
joins, “Yes, good euough lor a woman,
darn her."
Keep up Appearance*.
The following closely practical ser
mon on an approved maxim is copied
from the Marine Farmer, in which it
appeared some thirty-five years ago.
The author of it is still living, and
says he has found no reason to change
his convictions:
If a man be poor let him keep the
secret of the fact lo himself. Let the
secret out, and ten to one his friends
will forsake him, and e-fen throw bar
riers in his path. Belter wear your
best coat, and carry a bold and inde
pendent front, than to stoop to the
earth, beg for employment aDd whine
over your distresses. Human nature
is such tnat mankind will assist the
rich and throw opportunities in their
wav to make money, whila they ex
clude the poor from every privilege.—
Let it be known that your property is
all gone,, and every bill will be sent
and an immedate settlement insisted
upon; wheu, if you were considered
wealthy, your creditors would wait a
twelvemonth for their dues, and then
press the payment very lightly.—
Therefore, resolve Dover to make
kuoVfrn yoor poverty, but keep up good
spirits, aud you will see your way
clear to a good livirtg.
tile Printer’* Proverbs.
Never sendest t hou an article for
publication without giving the editor
thy name, for thy name oftentimes se
cures publication to a worthless arti
cle.
Thou should’st not rap at the door
of a printing office, for he that answer
eth the rap sueereth in his sleeves aud
looaetb time/
Neither do thou loaf about, ask
questions, or knock down type, or the
boys will love thee like they do shade
tress—when thou leaveth.
Thou should ’st never read the copy
on the printer’s case, or the sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee down.
Never inquire thou of the editor for
the news, for behold, it is his business
at the appointed time, to give it thee
without asking.
It is uot right that thou should’st
ask him who is the author of an arti
cle, for his duty requireth him to keep
such things to himself.
When thou dost enter into his office,
take heed unto thyself that thou dost
not look at what may be lying open
and concerneth thee not, feu: that is
not meet in the sight of good breed
ing.
Neither examine thou the preof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet thine
eye, that thou mayest understand.
Prefer thine own town paper to any
nther, and subscribe for it immediate-
Pay for it in advance and it shall be
well with thee and thine.
I£?*A gentleman in Alabama, in ex
erting himself one day felt a sudden
pain'and fearing his internal machine
ry had been thrown out of gear, sent
for a negro of his plantation, who
made some pretentions to medical
skill, to prescribe for him’ The ne
gro, having investigated the cause,
prepared and administered a dose to
his patient with the utmost confidence
of a speedy cure. No relief being ex
perienced, however, the gentleman
sent for a physician, who, on arriving,
inquired of the negro what medicine
he had given his master. Bob prompt
ly responded—
“ Rosin and alum, sir.”
“What did you give them for?” con
tinued the doctor.
“Why,” replied Bob, “de alum to
draw the parts togedder, aud the ros
in to sodder 'urn.”
The patient eventually recovered.
W6“A duel was fought at Grantville
S. C., on Sunday morning, between
Captain Wm. D’Antignac, of Augusta,
and Mr. John Dell, of St. Louis, Mis
souri, who has been living at Augusta
for some months past. It was the re
sult of a quarrel, Friday night, which
ended in D’Antignac’s striking Dell,
who thereupon sent his assailant a
peremptory challenge. The weapons
used were Colt’s navy pistols, and the
distance fifteen paces. Two shots
were exchanged, the second of which
resulted in Dell’s being shot through
both legs just above the knee. His
wound is considered a serious one.
Both parties returned to Augusta the
same day.

A Surprise. -The Democrats of
Georgia will doubtless be surprised at
the following extract from the edito
rial column of the New York Herald.
We have certainly heard nothing of
any such line of action being taken by
the Democratic party as is stated by
the Herald :
The Georgia Democrats claim that
Gov. Bullock has been absent from
that State for three months, and that
his title to the office is vitiated. As
there is no Lieutenant Governor
they propose to name the Speaker of
the House as Governor and leave their
action to be approved by the Legisla
ture. Tnis is rather a high-handed
proposition, and it would be well for
Bullock to hurry back to his charge.—

Mr Simmes, late postmaster at At
lanta, was in Washing!on a few days
ago endeavoring to relieve himself
from the charge of embezzling the
government post office funds to the
amount of thirty thousand dollars.
Simmes says he eaunot understand
where the missing funds have gone.
It is thought his own paper and ac
count will convict him. A specjil
agent is now in charge of his office.—

It is believed that Paymaster
Hodge’s defalcations will amount to
$1,200,000. His penitential letter to
Generul Brice is published. He con
fesses to stealing $450,000, and says
he is glad the truth is known for he
has been “in a hell upon earth for
years.” Hodge has been lodged in
Fort McHenry.
The name or Gen. Joseph E. John
ston has been suggested by a corres
pondent of the Savannah Republican
as a canidatefor Mayor of that city.
If the people of that city desire »
change in their municipal government,
we are quite sure they could not se
lect a truer, better man than General
Johmton. His selection as Mayor
would be a well merited tribute to hh
worth and do honor to the city.

Eternal Rest.
If this world, with its sunshine* it#
flowers, its singing birds, its gorgeous
sunsets, its distant, dreamy landscapes,
is so beautifol, eursed ns it is with sin,
how ti'an seen den tly beautiful must
that sinless world, the borne of the
home of the Christian, be; and bow
earnestly should we strive to euter in
to that rest promised in that home
letem il in the heavens.
How pitiful, how empty, how unsat
isfying, are the perishing things of
|this .ife when compared to those of an
eternal nature. But though ibis b»
jrue, how we grovel here beloW—how
we toil to get gain, as though we ex
pected to live here tbrougu endless
ikges. In our mad lush with the gid
dy throng after the things of earth, we
seem to forget that w« are accounta
ble beings that the body must die
and the soul be resurrected to eter
nal happiness or misery.
The ministry of Christ, while upon
earth, was endeed a beautiful one—
“was one of full love, full of meekness,
full of forgiveness, full of suffering—
and what an incentive it ought to be
td draw us poor earth-we ry pilgrims
to Him —to induce us to love, honor
and obey the teaching He then left on
record. —And what is the reward
promised? A home, an endless home,
1111 that “house not made with hands,’
eternal in the heavens.” No labor
We can render—no amount of suffer
ing we mav have to undergo in lias
world—will compensate in the remo
test degree for that home Christ died
td purchase for us.—ls we are ever so
fortunate as to get there, these weary,
eiartn-burdened souls will tied rest—a
so peaC' ful, so joyous, so overpow
eringiy sweet—that we will be lost in
wonder and praise at the matchless
mercy and love of God in permitting
us to enter such a rest.
Eternal rest ! What a sweet and
pleasant thought that when all these
and; ys of pain and sorrow and work are
ended, there will come the folding of
InJnds, and the gates of that house,
eternal in the heavens, will, if we are
obedient and faithful Christians, be
tlijowu open to receive our tired souls.
Yes, sweet, when sorrow and weari
ness are our only companions, to re
member that the hour is not for away
when the Father will hold the tired
hands of His child in His, will seal the
aching eye with sleep, and breathe un
deb its trembling lid the sweet dream
of that rest eternal in ihe mansions of
the| redeemed.
Health and Happiness.
Tlhe two things which conduce most
to L|ealth and happiness, are labor and
abstinence. Spartan severities are not
recommended, for they would not be
c mjucive eitherto health or happiness;
but that degree of labor which is not
oppressive, and that quantity of food
which suffices to support nature with
out loadiug the stomach. But labor
aud abstinence are two things which
mankind take most pains to avoid.
Yet what can ex rcise a more healthy
influence, both upon the miud and
body, than these? And not only should
a man be temperate in food, but mod
erate in all things. Moderation of
disposition teaches us to restrain ail
the evil working of the miud -to re
press jealousies, envy, anger, malice,
hatred, and all those baneful
passions which have ruined the health
and peace of thousands. It directs us,
00, to cultivate all the benevolent
feelings of our nature, to moderate our
desires, and, above nil, to do unto oth
ers as we would they should do unto
us. By this means we shall ensure
peace and tranquility, w hich are ab
solutely requisite to the full enjoyment
of all the faculties of the mind* and
that through performance of all the
animal functions of the body without
any impediment, pain, or molestation.
Ihe mind thus disengaged from tu
multuous passion, and the body free
from disorders, render existence n
happiness to us, and life an object to
desiie, while the loss ofthise blessings
implies the loss of everything pleasant,
and delectable. ‘To enjoy good health/
say s St. E' remond, a celebrated Erench
philosopher, “is better than to com
mand lie whole world. Health is the
fountain o: every blessing; for without
this, w<j> could not relish the most ex
quisite pleasures, or enjoy the most
desirable objects.” Without beallh
we can neither be happy in ourselves,,
nor useful—at least in any considera
ble degree— to our. friends or to socip
ly* Much, undoubtedly, d< pend on
original vigor of constitution; but, by
a judicious attention to vauous partic
ulars, health may, in many cases, be
preserved, where it would otherwise
lie lost.
