Bradfield’s Female Regulator.

It will purify the blood and strengthen the

BRADFIELD A CO., ATLANTA, GA.:
Dear Sirs: f take pleasure in stating that I
have used, for the last twenty years, the medi
cine you are putting up, known as DR. J. BRAD
FIEtD’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
I consider it a boon to suffering females, and
can hut hope that every lady in our whole land,
who may be suffering in any way peculiar to
Iheir sex, may be able to procure a bottle, that
their sufferings may not only be relieved, but
that they may be restored to health A strength.
Wit.i my kindest regards, lam, respectfully,
W. B. FERRELL, M. D.
We, the undersigned Druggists, take pleasure
in commending to the trade, I)r. J. Bradfleld’s
Female Regulator—believing it to be a good and
reliable remedy for the diseases for which he
recommends it. W. A. LANS DELL,

DR. PROPHITT’S
Celebrated Liver Medicine.
It is purely vegetable, and will act upon tlie
Liver and kidneys as promptly as Calomel and
Jluchu, 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, Du 1 1 reeling 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 Diarrh ea, 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.
Brophitt’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,
and has given universal satisfaction.
There is no brother or son claiming to have
the origioaal recipe. It is put up in both Pow
der anu Fluid form.
Fairbukn, G a., Sept. 4,18G8.
DR. O. S. PROPII ITT:
Sir: Mv wife has been an invalid for fifteen
years. Doctors all agreed she had “Liver Dis
ease.” Li connection'with tlieir practice she
used various and. noted remedies, none of which
seemed to do ar.y good. Sometime ago I procu
red a bottle of ,n)«r “Liver Medicine,” of your
agent here, A. Harvey, which being given ac
oordimr *'>’ directions, has afl'ected a complete
cure, respectfully, &c., GEO. L. THOMAS.
charlotte, N. C., Sept. 24,1858.
I have used Dr. O. b. Prophitt’s Liver Medi
cine as a tonic, and found it to be powerful and
efficacious. It is excellent for functional de
rangement of the Liver or constipation of the
bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity
of a regular course of medicine.
E. J. METNARDIE, Pastor Tryon-str. C’h.
Marion County, Texas, Aug. 1,1889.
DR. O. S. PRO PHUT:
Dear I write you this to inform you that
I have been troubled a great deal with indiges
tion, but ufter using one bottle of your Liver
Medicine, I find great relief. I cheerfully re
commend it as a good Family Medicine, ana feel
confident that ii is good for anything for which
it claims to be an antidote. Very respectfully,
DIClv LOCKETE.
Dr. Prophitt’s Dysentery Cordial,
Is one of the most valuable compounds now put
up for Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infantum,
or Cholera Morbus.’
This medicine has been in use for years, and
gives uniuersal satisfaction.
The most delicate child may take it with im
punity.
Covington, Ga.. Nov. 9,1807.
DR. PROPHITT r.
Having a severe attack of Dysentery during
the past, summer, I was induced to use your Dy
sentery Cordial, and derived therefrom immedi
ate and permanent relief. It gives me pleasure
to recommend this remedy to all who may be so
attacked, believing that, should the directions
be followed, relief would surely bo obtained.—
Truly, &c. O. S. PORTER.

It is a complete success. «T. L. WHITTLE.
West Point, Ga., Aug. 11, 1860.
This is to certify that I have used Dr. O. S.
Prophitt’s Liver Medicine myself and in my
family, for twelvemonths or more, and I unhes
itatingly say that I believe it oue of the best
Family Medicines in use. M. T. WALKER.
PROPHI T T ’ S
Fain Kill It.
This is the celebrated medicine that run Perry
Davis’rain Killer out of the market, wherever
it was sold. Davis made Prophitt change the
name from Pain Killer to PAJN KILL IT.
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any
kind it has no equal.
For Cuts, limises, 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 fully.
It is truly DEATH to pain.

CO., Atlanta, Ga., and for sale by all druggists.
DOOLY' Bounty, Ga., April, 1537.
This is to certify that I was confined to the
house, and most of the time to my bed. and suf
fering the greatest agony imaginable with Rheu
matism, for five months, and after trying every
available remedy, with no relief, I was cured
with two bottles of Dr. O. S. Prophut's Anodyne
Pain Kill It; each costing fifty cents only. It
relieved me almost instantly. I therefore re
commend it in the highest degree to others suf
fering from similar disease. I can say that it is
oue of the finest Family Medicines now out cer
tain. Yours, truly, W. A. FOREHAND.
Dooly County, Ga., Oct. 27,1867
DR. 0. S. PROPHITT:
£ have, during the last eigeteen months, used
your Pain Kill It. and I consider it unequaled by
anything for pain in the head, breast, back or
side; and for colic nothing gives relief half so
quick as your Anodyne Pam Kill.
it is doing much good in the community in o
ther families as well as my own. Yours, &e.,
D. T. FOREHAND.

It is auiant that emits its fragrance; the action of a
flame destroys this (Its active nrinciple,) leaving a
dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of

Clover as a Shade.
There is probably no other plant in the
; world of such value to the farmer for this
j purpose. If furnishes the most perfect pro-
I tection to the soil during the fierce, dry
ing heats of summer. Being a constantly
diculuous plant, its leaves are perpetually
falling, and soon form a delicate covering
for the entire soil, sufficiently thick for
shade, and easily penetrated by the air,
which is the great carrier to the worn out
soil of those atmospheric elements that are
to enrich it. In this the clover plant not
only contributes directly to the fertilizing of
the soil, by giving its own substance to it,
but it furnishes a protective covering to the
entire ground, which encourages and stim
ulates those chemical processes by which
the hungry and exhausted soil is recuper
tiieci rruixt onxv*xlt«a aral
that are held in the atmosphere. It. becomes
to the farmer the most valuable fertilizer in
the world, as it imparts fertility to the en
tire soil.
Remedy For Hog Lice. — l herewith
send you a remedy for hog lice, that
will prove on trial, infallible. Procure
some leaf tobacco, boil to a strong am
ber, in water enough to float it; mix
in while hot, enough lard or refuse
grease to make a thin salve; rub on
the pigs or hogs troubled, and in less
than twenty-four hours they will' not
have a louse on them, if. well rubbed.
Also put some leaf tobacco in their
beds to make them smell strong, and
the hogs will never be troubled with
lice again while they sleep in the beds.
The tobacco will not hurt the pigs in
any respect, even but a day old.—A
Farmer, Hickman , Ky.
Grease with an ointment made as
follows: Half pint tanners’ or train oil,
and one-fourlh pound of Scotch snuff
along the back, around the ears and
under the legs. — W. J. Camp, In Ru

What Becomes of a Dead Horse.
The Scientific American recently
contained an article or he uses to
which dead horses can be applied, in
the course of which he remarked that
the animal must be a remarkably good
one if he is worth as much when alive
as he is to the retoras and kettles of
the chemist. As soon as the horse is
dead, his blood is sought by the man
ufacturers of albumen, and by sugar
refiners, and the burners of lamp
black. Not a drop is allowed to go to
waste.-
The mane and tail are wanted for
hair-cloth, seives, bow strings, and
brushes. The skin is converted into
leather for cart harness, for boots and
shoes, and strong collars. The hoofs
are used for combs, horn-work, glue,
and in old times were the chief source
of hartshorn, now obtained from the
g is-house. Tha flesh is boiled down
in the rendering vat, and much oil and
fat is obtained from it. Some of the
choice bits may find their way into
cheap restaurants, and play the part of
beefsteak, or help to enrich the hasty
plates of soup of these establishments.
The flesh left after all has been extract
ed from it that is of any service, is
sometimes burned, to be used as ma
nure, or is worked up into nitrogenous
compounds, such as cyanides, to be
used by the photographer in taking
our pictures. The stomach and intes
tines make invaluable musical instru
ments, and out of the bones so many
useful articles are manufactured that
it is almost impossible to make out
a complete list of them. Among them
are buttons, toys, tweezers, knife-hand
les, rulers, cups, dominoes, balls; and
the residue from ad these things is
burnt into bone-black to be used by
the sugar refiner, who puts in a second
claim on the dead horse; and some
part of the bone-black is burned white
to be used by the assayer in testing
gold; and when the assayer and refin
er have finished with it, it is converted
into supher-phosphate to serve as a
valuable manure on our land. The
teeth are used as substitutes for ivory;
and the iron shoes, if not nailed over
the door to insure good fortune to the
household, are worked up into excel
lent wrought metal. Some portion of
the bone-black is converted into phos
phorus for the manufacture of match
es, and lately a valuable bread prepar
ation is made of the phosphate, and
medicines are prepared for the cure of
consumptives.
A Chinese Sermon.
The following discourse by a con
verted Chinese tailor, with reference
to the merits of Confucianism, Bud
liism, and Christianity, is worth pre
serving:
A man has fallen into a deep, dark
pit, and lay in its miry bottom groan
ing, and utterly unable to move. -
Confucius walked by, approaching the
edge* of the pit, and said, ‘Poor fel
low ! I am very sorry for you.—
Why were you such a fool as to get in
there ? Let me give you a piece of ad
vice; If you get out don’t get in
again.’ A Budhist priest next came
by, and said, ‘Poor fellow! lam very

But the man in the pit was entirely
, helpless, and unable to rise. Next
the Saviour came by, and hearing the
cries, went to the very brink of the
pit, stretched down and laid hold of
the poor man, brought him up and
said, “Go, and sin no more.”

“When General Lafayette paid a
visit to this country after it had ‘at
tained its independence, he expressed
a desire to take home with him a
specimen of that essentially native an
imal, the opossum. An intimate friend
of his, who was editing a paper at the
time in Baltimore, a near relative of
Colonel Skinner, lately of tha Turf,
Field and Farm, hearing of this desire
on his part, inserted a notice to that
effect in the columns of his journal.
Now, Lafayette has always been
greatly and deservedly loved and re
spected by Americans. His name is a
household word with us. Every resi
dent of our country at that time would
have been pleased to testify apprecia
tion of the services he had rendered
our colonies when strugling for her in
dependence. There was a determina
tion in the community to prove to him
that republics are not always un
grateful. and no sooner had it become
kuown that General Lafayette wanted
a ’possum than it was unanimously re
solved that a ’possum he should have,
at any cost of labor or expense of mon
ey. Hence the editor of the paper we
have refered to was not much suppris
ed when the coach from Pawtuxent
arrived, and he was informed that it
had a box for him with an opossum.
He said to himself that this is only
as it should be and felt gratified that
General Lafayette’s wishes had been
so soon complied with. Our readers
must recollect that in those days stage
coaches were all the go, and that rail
roads were not in vouge. Hence it
took news and ’possums ail the longer
to travel. When, however, the Phila
delphia coach appeared and brought
two more boxes of ’possums, each con
taining two live specimens, the editor
was satisfied that the country had
done its duty; so that the next day,
when th'e regular stage from the Eas
tern Shore came in and brought him
six additional ’possums, the editor felt
that he had enough; but when the
Chesapeak boat landed at the wharf
at Baltimore and presented him with
a hundred and twenty fresh and vigor
ous specimens, he began to think that
they were getting too many for him.
Our people are a grateful people.—
They proved themselves so conspi
ciously on this occasion. As for 'pos
sums, the cry was “still they come.”—
From North, from East, from South,
from West, by coach, by stage, by car
riage, by private and public convey
ance, by steamboat, by row-boat, by
sail-boat; from Maryland, from Virgin
ia, from Pennsylvania, from the Alle
ghany Mountains, they poured on in
one steady stream. Iu the course of
two weeks, the enthusiastic friend and
admirer had accumulated 2200 ’pos
sums.
What to do with them he did not
know; he could not store them sepa
rately, and yet it seemed equally im
possible to store them together; and
finally he turned them all loose in
Monument Square in Baltimore. Next
day, the hearts of the darkey residents
in the neighborhood were delighted.—
Colon and gentlemen love the wily ani
mal, and ’possums were abundant;
they wandered through the square,
they climbed on the stoops of houses,
they hung to the eaves, pearched on
the peaks, mounted the chimneys,
gathered on the Monument and clung
to every place where it was possible
for a ’possum to cling, and there they
•remained, slowly dispersing themselves
through the city, a lasting evidence of
the high character of our people in
their devotion to those public men who
are true to them and help them in
time of national distress. Lafayette
never wanted for a ’possum afterwards,
and Baltimore editors have no admi
ration for them.”— Neiv York Citizen.

Fatalism Illustrated.—A hard.-Bell bap
tist Minister, living somewhere on the fron
tier of Missouri, was in the habit of saying
to his family and to his church : “Friends,
you need not take any unusual care about
your tires; the moment of your death was
‘writ’ before the foundation ot the world, and
you -08131101 alter it,” His wife observed
when he left on .Saturday to meet one of his
frontier missionary engagements, that he
(dressed the flint of his rifle with unusual
care, put in dry powder, fresh tow, and to< k
every pains to make sure that the g m won id
go off in case he came upon an Indian.
It struck her one day as she saw him in
the saddle, with his rifle on his shoulder,
that his conduct contradicted his teachings,
and she said to him: ‘*My dear, why dovou
j take this rifle with you ? If it was ‘writ’ be
fore the foundation of the world that you
were to be killed during this trip, by an
Indian, that rifle wont prevent it; and if you
are not to be killed, of course, the rifle is
unnecessary ; so why take it with you at all?”
“Y-e-s,” he replied, “to be sure, n.y dear,
of course you are all right and tii.t is a
very proper view; but, see here, ivy dear—
to be sure—but then—suppose I should meet
an Indian while I am gone, and bis time had
com 3, and I hadn’t my rifle with me, what
would he do? Yes, my dear, we must all
coniribute our part toward the fulfillment of
the decrees of Providence.”
AO. P. 2.
This reminds us of the story of an old ne
gro we once heard of, who always at ributed
bis failures and shortcoming* to “jesasde
Lord would hab it.” No matter if, on ac
count of his dereliction, the hogs rooted up
the potatoes, or the stock broke into tha
the masters en quTrfes ‘Vriy"it ' wa?'a tloVe’f sh
be so ? was always answered, by the old ne
gro, with the fatal “Jes as de Lord weald
hab it—it was so decreed before dc foun
dation ob de world.” One day the master
was absent from home, the old negro con
cluded, as the sun shone very hot, that ho
would “jes take a little nap in de shade,”
and suiting the action to the conclusion, ho
lay himself down under the shade of a neigh
boring persimmon tree and snoozed away.
In the meantime the master returned, and
into the field he went, found no work done,
and the old negro fast asleep. He conclud
ed to physic the old negro with his own rem
edy, and securing a two-handed brush he
let in on him, like fire and tow, and thrashed
him out generally, remarking the meanwhile
to the old negro that “he must not attribute
the sound drubbing to an angry passion of
his (the master’s), for it was “just as the
Lord would have it.” The old negro rubbed
his eyes with his sleeve and replied “roassn,
I nebber ’bleeve indat doctrin no more.”
Preaching versus -practice.
Jesus as Goir and Man. —On no occa
sion did our Savior illustrate more sat
isfactorily to His friends, or incontro
vertibly to His foes, His power as
God, than at the resurrection of Laza
rus. The successful accomplishment
of that stupendous miracle required as
much of wisdom and- energy as did
the creator of the worlds. Side by
side with that almighty fiat, “Let there
be light!” stands the other equally po
tent and-energiMUg’sentence, “Laza
rus ! come forth.” Each of them is
alike the utterance cf God, However
liable were the other mighty works of
Christ to the charge of Satanic agen
cy, or necromantic conjuration, the
reanimation and restoration of the life
of Lazarus proudly and defiantly hurl
ed back such diabolical imputations,
and established the miracle as one pre
eminent and unapproachable. It was
reserved for this mighty work to add
the crowning testimony Divinity
and Messiahship of Jesus. w Other mir
acles might have been imitated, coun
terfeited or explained away; but this
one never. The resurrection of a hu
man body, in which putrefaction had
already taken place—and that, too, in
the presenceof a large assembly of skep
tics—at once overturns the dominions
of death, and established Jesus as the
Universal Conqueror over death, hell
and the grave.
But glorious and convincing as was
thedisplay of God-like power on this oc
casion, the undying illustration of His
humanity was even more precious and
comforting. The mighty voice which
fell upon the cold, dead years of Laza
rus will likewise awake, at the last
day, the millions of sleepers of every
kindred, tribe- and nation—whether
they he buried beneath the coral beds
of the ocean, or up and down the
mountains and valleys of the earth.—
The human sympathy called forth in
those tears for the stricken sisters, is a
legacy richer than the gold of Ophir,
or the precious stones hid away in the
dark, unfathomed caves of earth and
sea. By it we are assured that we
have a great High Priest above, who
can be touched with a feeling of our
infirmities, and to whom we may safe
ly commit our griefs and our cares.—
There is no selfishness in that love
and sympathy, no particular ebbinga
a id fl >wings; but it is a broad, deep, ev
er expanding ocean of commiseration
and pity .available alike to all the strick
en sons and daughters of earth. Up the
streams of Christ’s humanity lie our
plainest and safest roads to Heaven;
for having been tempted and tried
alike as we are, -He alone knows how
to reach forth the compasrionae hand
in our redemption.— Columbus Enqui

WSiat Gen. Leo Thought of the
South’s i*rospect for Success.
In a recent lecture at Now Orleans,
Gen. Pendleton, of Lexington, Ya,,
said:
A few hours befor the closing scene
at Appomattox Court House; Gen. Lee
sent for Gen. Pendleton to have a pri
vate conference on the desperate con
dition of affairs. In that conference
Gen. Lee stated that “from the first—
taking into consideration the limited
means at our command, and the unlim
ited resources of the power that oppo
ses us—l have* never believed we could
succeed, unless under Providence some
foreign power should lend us assistance.
I knew it was to the interest of for
eign powers to do so. I believed it
was their duty. While realizing fully
the tremendous odds against us, and
all the difficulties against which we
would have to contend, I felt there
were great principles to‘be maintained,
a holy cause to be defended, and deter
mined upon my course.
