Ga.. March 23,1870. 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, PEMBERTON, WILSON, TAYLOR & CO. REDWINE A FOX, W. U. LAWSHE, Atlanta, Ga. W. ROOT A SON, Marietta, Ga. 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. Cussata, Texas, 1869. DR. PROPHITT: Dear Sir: Yonr Liver Medicine and Pain Kill 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.

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.

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 ral Neiu Yorker. 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 much pained to see joa there. I think if you could scramble up two thirds of the way, or even half, I could reach you and lift you up the rest.”— 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.” An old map makes Zero the town where the Macon and Brunswiok and Savan nah and Gulf Railroads cross each other.— It iB not only Jes'up but a good deal above zero. Editors and Proprietors. ; fcaT* “Good morning, Schneider.”— jWe geth tsden.” “I)o 3’ou know what church that is?” “Yaw, dot is dei ' Drinity Church/’ You see the steeple and that little cross w-a-a-ij up th> re /” j “Yaw, lsaw him.” Well, how is that for high ?” The German looked pleas- I ed, scratched his head, and said: “Dot iis goot! Der best I hear dese six weeks; yaw, dot is very goot!-” The wag went his way, leaving the German smiling, 1 scratching his head, and gazing ab stractedly at the little cross so high in the air. While thus standing, a smile over his face, a friend came along, and he thought to give him the same good thing and have another laugh, and said: “Hollo, Fritz; how you was, cb?” “Goo* ywas it oroinct, to be mit yourself ? Goot all der vile. Do you know what church am dere?” ‘ Yaw, dere am der Drinity; I know dese church more as a dozen years already.” “You see dem stheeples und der leedle cross en der top of dem stnecples wa a-a-a-a-y most mit der glouds.”— “Yaw, I see der leedle ci*oss.” “l r ou see him?

A man just told dot to me, und I made laugh all der vile. Und you no see ter schoke ? I dinks you peen a jamming arouud all night, und you can’t see nothing.”—Pomeroy’s Democrat. “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. We place in nomination the names of Messrs.

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 er.
