dona been treated successfully. The profession
has sought dilligently 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
Bradfield’s Female Regulator.
It is purelv vegetable, and is put up in Atlan
ta, by BRADFIELD & 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
v, rapper around the bottle. Every bottle war

LaGkanoe, Ga., March 23,1870.
BRADFIELD A CO., ATLANTA, GA.:
Dear Sirs: I take pleasure in stating that I
have used, for the last twenty years, the medi
cine you are putting up, known as I)It. J. BRAD
FIELD’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 w-hole 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 may be restored to health & strength.
With ray kindest regards, I am, respectfully,
W. B. FERRELL; M. I).
Wi», the undersigned Druggists, take pleasure
in commending to the trade, Dr. .J. Bradfleld’s
Female Regulator—believing it to be a good and
reliable remedy for the diseases for which he
recommends it. W. A. LA NS DELL,

DR. PROPHITT’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 Feelii: g or the Blues, Sour Stom
ach, Sick or Nervous 1. eadache, Heartburn, In
digestion or Dyspepsiu, Bad or Bitter Taste in
the Mouth, the skin has a thick, rough feeling,
and is darker than usual, Costiveness, Melan
choly Feeling*, Cramps, Cold Feet, Colic, Dys
entery, or Diarrhoea, Chills and Fever, and
Piles. In fact, where the Liver is outoferder,
you are liable to every disease that is not conta
gious.
l’rophitt’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 has been used for a great number of years,
and has given universal satisfaction.
There is no brother or son claiming to have
the origional recipe. It is put up in both Pow
der and Fluid form.
Fairbuhn, Ga., sept. 4,
DR. O. S. PROPHITT:
Sir: My 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 eomulete
cure. Respectfully, &c., GEO. L. THOMAS.
CHARLOTTE, N. €., Sept. 24,1868.
I have used Dr. 0. S. 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. MEYNARDIE, Pastor Tryon-str. C’h.
M arion County, Texas, Aug. 1, 1869.
DR. O. S. PROPHITT:
Dear Sir: I write you this to inform you that
I have been troubled a great deal with indiges
tion, but after using one bottle of your Liver
Medicine, I find great relief. I 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.
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. 9,1867.
DR. PROPIIITT:
Having a severe attack of Dvsentery 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 mav be so
attacked, believing that, should the directions
be followed, relief would surely be obtained.—
Truly, Ac. 0. S. PORTER.

DR. PROPHITT:
Dear Sir: Your Liver Medicine and Pain Kill
It is a complete success. J. L. WHITTLE.
West Point, Ga., Aug. 11,1869.
This is to certify that 1 have used Dr. O. S.
Prophitt’s Liver Medicine myself and in my
family, for twelve months or more, and I unhes
itatingly say that I believe it one of the best
Family Medicines in use. M. T. WALKER.
PROP HITT’S
Pain Kill It.
This is the celebrated medicine that run Terry
Davis’ Pain 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.
Manufactured and sold by BRADFIELD &
CO., Atlanta, Ga., and for sale by all druggists.
Dooly Bounty, Ga., April, 1867.
This is to certify that I was confined to the
house, and mo6t 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
wit* l two bottles of Dr. O. S. Prophitt’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. 1 can sav that it is
one of the finest Family Medicines now out, cer
tain. Yours, truly, W A. FOREHAND.
Dooly County, Ga., Oct 27,1867
DR. O. S. PROPHITT:
I 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 Pain Kill.
It is doing much good in the community in o
ther families as well as my own. Yours, &c.,

At an early hour l ist evening
the police reporters of the various city
papers, were notified that four persons
had been suffocated in the viciuity of
Eighty fifth street by an escape of gas
on the floor where they were sleeping.
The telegram came from Captain
Byrne, of the Eighty-sixth street Sta
tion House, and gave all ttie particu
lars at that time in possession of the
police.
At midnight a reporter visited the
scene, in company witu Captain Byrne.
In front of the house, w hich is in Third
avenue, near Eighty-fifth street, two
policemen were standing. Ascending
the stairs, a door was opened, on the
second floor, from which came forth a
stench which would almost drive one
back, even were he possessed of the
strongest nerves and stomach. Enter
ing this room, a small one, there was
to be seen in one corner a bed con
taining four dead bodies. In the
room was scattered about clothing,
scanty articles of dishes and furniture,
all unclean. A small piece of candle
was furnished by the police, and with
this a hasty inspection was made of
the premises. Sticking the piece of
candle on the head of the bed, the
bodies of those it contained were ex
amined by its uncertain light. All of
those upon it wore the full every day
dress. Evidently the room had got
cold and they had, as poor folks often
are compelled to do, retired with their
clothes on. On the further side of the
bed, and near the wall, was a man,
some twenty years of age, and very
good-looking, whom the police knew to
be one John Scanlon, with black hair
and half open eyes and a beard some
thi ee days old; he was dressed in a
dark coat, dark pants, light colored
vest and a grayish woolen shirt. A
pair of woolen stockings were on his
feet, half covered by an old quilt.—
From his mouth there had escaped a
quantity of foam, and it hung upon his
lips like a great w’hite cloud. His
right hand was thrust into the upper
part of his pants and the left hung
over the head of a little child creeping
up on his breast. The child seemed
creeping from the asphyxia of
death which surrounded it. It was
scantily chid in a woolen jacket and
striped skirt of cotton stuff. Next to
this lay the mother, enciente , with a
placid and listless look. She wore a
dingy dressing gown of purpie color
and a gray serge underdress. She was
about twenty eight years of age.
Next to this woman, and on the out
side of the bed, lay another —a sister —
named Susan Sandor. She wore a
maroon colored dress and a black and
white plaid shawl. Her face was red
and her nostrils and mouth were cov
ered with blood, evidently the effects
of suffocation. It was one of the most
horrible spectacles one c n imagine,
and even the police, accustomed to ev
ery horror, refused to enter the room.
New York Herald, January 31.
Boys’ Suicide.— A suicide wdiich oc
curred in New York a few days ago is
a painful illustration of the excessive
culture of the emotional nature.—
Twelve weeks since a boy of sixteen
years, named. George Henry A. Starr,
committed suicide by taking lauda
num, the cause being that he was be
wildered and troubled about “predes
tination, foreordination and decree.”-
Older and abler minds have worried
themselves to insanity on the same in
scrutable problem. He chose to solve
it by crossing the river. The boy had
a friend, older thau himself, but still
as childish, one Alfred Garoway. The
two had held high converse on sub
jects which the angels, we are told, ap
proach with a shudder, and after the
death of Starr, Garroway went crazy,
or, perhaps, was then first discovered
to be crazy. He was sent to a lunatic
asylum, apparently recovered, and re
turning to the house of Starr’s father,
committed suicide by taking laudanum.
Remarking on the singular suicides
the Newark Advertiser says;
“In both the sorrowful incidents the
physiologi t will find the cause in an
unnatural mental stimulus. Two firm
young fellows died of religious deliri
um tremens. Avery similar case oc
curred, within a fortnight, in the
northern portion of New Jersey, where
a revival was in progress. A young
girl rushed up lo the alter, confessed a
theft, and falling down on the spot,
was carried home stone blind and a lu
natic, and so she still remains.
“The most obtuse reason or can see
that these things are
and the educated metaphysician knows
that appeals n ade exclusivly to the
emotions, to hysterical elements which
exists in every nature, the wild, reck
less implorings made to children by
traveling exhorcers, are either a crime
or a blunder, Insanity and suic.de
follow in their train as a matter of
course, and parents should be cautious
how they permit their children to be
submitted to such influences. Only
well-babanced natures can bear the
stage (-fleet and the histrionic style of j
appeal which these mistaken men em
ploy.”— Sac. Morning Neu^s.

he never read the newspapers until
the sun got down tha palm- trees, and
then scratched himself, yawning out,
“Ain't soup most ready, my dear?’
Not he. He made the tire, and hung
over the tea kettle himself, we’ll ven
ture, and pulled the radishes and peel
ed the bananas, and did everything
else that he’d ought to! He milked
the cows and fed the chickens, and
looked after the pigs himself. He
never brought home half dozen friends
to dinner when Eve hadn’t any fresh
pomegranates and the mango season
was over! He never stayed out until
eleven o’clock to a “ward-meeting,”
hurraying for the out and out candi
date, and then scolded because poor,
dear Eve was sitting up aud crying in
side the gate. To be sure he acted
rather cowardly about apple gather
ing time, Out then that don’t depreciate
his general helpfulness about, the gar
den. He never played billiards and
drove fast horses, nor choked Eve with
cigar smoke. He never loafed around
corner gsocerios while solitary Eve
was rocking little Cain’s cradle at
home. In short, he didn’t think she
was specially created for the purpose
of waiting ou him, and wasn’t unde!’
the impression that it disgraced a man
to lighten his wife’s care a little.
That’s the reason that Eve did not
need a hired girl, and we wish it was
the reason that none of her fair de
scendants did. —Life Illustrated.
South Carolina. —In some respects
South Carolina furnishes thß best pos
sible illustration of the practical work
ings of reconstruction; because iu that
State the predominance of the African
race gives the Radical party opportun
ity to carry out all its plans without
let or hindrance. The negro vote holds
the ballance of power, and governor,
judges, legislators, congressmen and
senators owe their places to its influ
ence; j’et these blacks, so omnipotent
at the ballot-box, contribute nothing
to the revenue. »jThe returns of the
last election show that there were 130,-
000 votes cast; and at the same time
we find by the auditors’ exhibit that
only 41,000 persons paid a poll tax.—
rtf course, white men: for the
most part ri!orisf*rvn.HvPß. who nre tfuiH
made to bear the burden of taxation,
and still are utterly powerless m the
management of affairs. That manage
ment is exclusively in the hands of the
90,000 Radicals, who have no proper
ty, pay no taxes, contribute nothing to
the advancement of the State, and are
only interested in perpetuating their
own authority at all hazard. The leg
islature is composed principally of ne
groes and the lowest class of whites,
aud the laws passed are precisely what
might bo expected under the circum
stances. In former times a three week’s
session was deemed sufficient, but the
present legislature has already sat two
months, and there are no indications
of speedy ajournment. As the mem
bers get six dollars a day, they are in
no hurry to abandon a business which
pays them better than any other they
can follow. It is rumored that they
intend to sit all the year round, and
there is nothing to hinder these sable
statesmen from so doing all they
choose for of course any constitutional
provisions to the contrary can be easily
overruled. South Carolina is poorer
to day than before the war; business is
stignant; taxes are so oppressive that
property is a curse rather than a bless
ing to the owner, and all the enterpris
ing portion of the population, able to
get away, are emigrating to other
States as rapidly as possible. This is
not a flattering picture, but it is emi
nently truthful, and should be carefully
studied by those who desire to obtain
a clear idea of wnat Radicalism aud Af
rican elevation, pure and simple, mean.

Tho preacher who recently starved
to death in the city of New York vus
not the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, nor
the Ruv. W. T. Babine, as was at first
apprehended by the public, but tho
Rev. Mr. Walsh, the former pa-tor of
some little church around the corner.
Tae New York correspondent of the
Mobile Tnbune says of the sad and
'singular occurrence:
“Is it not ft disgrace to this firat
<•’ass civilization of ours that ministers
of th Gospel are left to starve in lie
midst of wealth futd luxury ? N°glfcct
of clergymen who, from one cause or
XO. 34.
another, fall into misfortune, is not an
uncommon thing in New York. There
are probably forty ex-ministers in this
city, broken both mentally and physi
cally, who are obliged to scrape up a
living in any way they can, without
either sympathy or assistance from
those to whom they once preached,
charity and brotherly love; and with
all the efforts they can make, manv of
these are unable to procure for them
selves aud families the common neces
saries of life. It was only the other
day that a minister of the Wesleyan
Church—the Rev. Mr. Walsh, formerly
a city missionary —died, it may bo
said, of actual starvation, leaving four
children shivering with cold and suffer
ing from the sharp pangs of hunger.
Probably, if he had gone around beg
ging, like a common pauper, he might
have kept body and soul together a
little longer; but he was too sensitive
for that, and aa no one seemed to care
much about him, he went on gradually
starving to death, and did actually die'
of hunger and cold, in this great city
of splendor and plenty, where some
ministers are paid SIO,OOO a van*;
It was, perhaps, the fault of tho
Rev. Mr. Walsh, that he thought it
more in keepihg wii h his calling as a
minister of the Gospel to preach to
the poor, than so part his hair in the
middle and deliver poetical speeches
from the pulpit iu purple and fine lin
en. If so, it was a grievous fault, and
grievously has ho answered it. Tho
reward of the faithful in the New Je
rusalem is unquestionably great, but
what is it compared to a teu thousand,
dollar salary in Now York ? Lot the
Rev. Mr. Walsh answer. He ought to
have known that it is almost impossi
ble for one preacher to enjoy both, and
instead of fooling away his time as a.
missionary among the poor, he should
have been laying the foundation of a
large salary by flattery leading the
rich heiiwards. If the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, who now.piously pock
ets his salary of twenty thousand dol
lars, while his sinful brethren are
starving to death around him, had felt
it to be his duty to out among tho
poor, and there
Lure to brighter worlds, and lead the way—
he, too, might have starved to death
long ago. And the chances are that
ho will one day wish he had.— Qour,

Paris fallen. Frauce fallen, the war
ended, is that peace ? No. Who then
will dare to assert that France will
forever submit to the eternal yoke?;—
That man knows but very little of our
country if he believes it capable of.
such supreme philosophy and such
a sublime act of humanity.
When wo say that “the armistice
ends the war, this is our opiuion and
our desire.” We mean to say that
shattered by strife, mutilated by the
sword, and ignited by tiro, we are pre- t
pared to lower the arms, of which the
fate of battles has only left broken
pieces in our hands. Wo will still re
tain blood enough in our veins to live.
We will keep, breath enough to rise
again, to regain our strength, await
our chance, and, at the proper hour,
jump at the throat of our enemy and
revenge ourselves.
This may be savage —so bo it!
This may retard civilization, and that,
beautiful humanitarian theory of the
abolition of war—no doubt of it !-
We’ll be barbarians—so be it! And
the whole world will regard us with
scorn—what matters it! We have
done enough for the prosperity of
peace, for the arts, for tho sciences,
for industry, and for the advancement
of humanity ! What thanks has hu
manity given us? What have we gain
ed by the disinterested services which
we have rendered to the world ? Not
even barren sympathy have we receiv
ed from that world, and there is net r.
people to-day that does not smile at
our fall, and only isolated voices give
us a few charitable words of pity..
It is done. There will be an ar
mistice, but there will be no durable
peace So much the worse for Eu
rope, if she trembly through oar con
vulsions; W’6 only feel for ourselves
now. What care we to-day for the
agitations and anxieties of others ?
\Y e have had enough of chivalry;
enough of generosity; enough of sac
rifices for others. We are egotists to
day; henceforth we a a only tain]*, of
our bleeding country, of. our children
separated from us, and the flesh of
our flesh so rudely torn from our pair
pitating body.
A Printer once determined that
every time his fellow-workmen went
o t to drink beer during his working
hours, he would put in the bank the
exact amount which he would have
spent if he had gone out to drink.—
He kept to this resolution for five
years. He then examined his bank
account and found that he bad on de
posit $521 86. In the five years he
had not lost a day from iil-liealth.—
Three out of five of his fellow-workmen
had, in the meantime, become drunk
ards, were worthless as workmen and
were discharged. The water drinker,
then bought out the pr.n.iug office,
went on enlarging his business, and in
twenty years from the time he began
to put by money was worth SIOO,OOO.
