Dear Sir When in Aiken, laat winter, I used your
Expectorant for my cough, and realized more benefit
from it than anything I ever took. lam so well that

123 West Thirty-first Btrest
Boston, January 11,1874.
This certifies that I have recommended the use oi
Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant for diseases of the lungs
for the past two years, and to my knowledge many
bottles have been used by my patients with the hap
fridat results. In two cases where it was thought con
firmed consumption had taken place the Expectorant
effected a cure. R. H. SPRAGUE, M.D.
44 We can not speak too highly of Dr. Tutt’s Ex

From the St., I’aul Honeor I’rcM. ..V
The experiences of one joii's Nil
son, a lumberman, which are now
btii-fly to be related, wil! be regarded
ns fxttarngant and extrahidinaiy, but
j tli”y are nevertheless truly stated in
a I essential partict !ais. It appears
, tha duiiug the past win er Nilson
h- ■ Issi eo.ployed at one ( ,f the lum
heriiig camps until about three weeks
ago when a potfmfi of u t r< e (ell on
him while no was engaged at chop
ping in the woods, inflicting injuries
which aer« believed to bo fatal fiom
th. first. Ni ou was carried to the
camp hy his companions, and after a
period of extreme suffering h> • - gnu
to fail, finally becoming u, conscious,
pulseless and with the palor of dt.alh
i Veispreddifig h s Coutitenance The
men at the camp naturally concluded
that t oif unfortunate companion am,
associate was dead; as no sign of 1 f
Could he detec ed. The hndy of the
supposed dead man was tenderly
place! io the only coffin which could
be procured et the camp—a long diy
goods bos —and the remains were
sent by wagon to the nearest raiiioaii
station, iiml from ti enco lorwarded
man old personal itiend if NLson s, a
getuleuiaii named Jolm I J eterson, who
lesules near the toil kyard in this city.
The c ttin mid body, alter arriving in
Minneapolis, were conveyed to the
reside.ate ol Mr. Fet"s< n, according
hr directions, but were kept for two
days iu oftier to complete the prepara
tions for a decent huiial. While ly
ing in the rude coffin a’ the rseid’-mci
of A r Peterson, anoti er old acquain
tance Called to see tlm body ot his
d’-ad friend, and during his stay he
gave the cops. a close and critical
examination. Someth ng about ii
produced a profound impiession upon
the visitor, aud he suddenly looked
up witn a pleased but startled expres
sion and exclaimed ‘Why, Jo a- Nb
•on is not dead 1’ vi hilo the majority
it ‘tiea present did not place a „y s j
uial confidence in the gentleman’s
pleasant rem uk, a I greed that an
attempt to bring the body to life would
ot do any harm, even il it failed in
accomplishing any actual good.—
Niison’s body was lifted from toe col
fin, placed in a comfoitable bed. and
such restoratives as weri available aud
suggestive were carefully aumistered.
Under the treatment a trace ot life’s
hea lhy blood leveahd itself on the
pallid suif“ce of the body, ami at the
end of two hours ti.e eyes of tfie sup
posed dead man gradually oppened
and rested upon those p.esei. , with
the rays of returning consciousness
and intelligence plainly discerned b>y
the bystanders. The astonishment
aud joy of his friends was so great
that ft first no one Ventured to speak
to the resurrected lumberman, but at
last one ot those present ventured the
question :
•Nilsou, are you cold? 1 V\ ithout
moving his body, hot with the “yes
ie6tiDg upon his interlocutor, Nilsou
fain y answered with the single word,
‘yes.’
The friends thus strangely assem
bled together then redoubled their
exertions, and a physician was -uai
luoned. Nilson was mule us warm
and comfortable as possible, and since
the date of his resuscitation, the at
tention bestowed upon him as been
tender and unremitting, and lie is re*
spending to the bn i u.y offices t
those around hint with evidences of
gradual but certain impr veuiout.

As soon as it became knrwn that
tho murdeier of Mr. Win. O’B’ien,
the pftdd'hr, in Burko county, Oeorgia
had been plac and in Waiocsboro’ jail,
threats of lynching were made. At
about 11 o‘clock on Tuesday n gilt
'irenty men called at the io6idence of
Mr. Tho Hand!, the jailer of Burk'
county. One of the party knocked at
the front door, und the suiftmurts was
answered by Mr Ilaaiil in person.—
As soon as he opened the door and
saw the men outside, he ttied to close
it and heat a retreat, fort the men
dragged him out into the open uir anil
demanded ihe key* oi tin- jail. Mr.
Hatuil reltispd to give them up, and
-everai pistols vt ie pr sen tod, and
one was placed against his breast, and
he was given the alternative ot eitlu r
yielding or loosing his life. He was
knocked down, and further violence
was tl’ie&tcned.
Alter giving up the keys Mr. Hamil
tr.ed to escape, in older to raise an
alarm m ihe village ; hut the lynchers
compelled him to accompany them to
the jail. The doors ui ia soon un
locked and Wells, the murderer of
O'Brien, was brought forh. He was
allowed filte u minutes to say bis

imuch under a tre'*, the chain with
which he wus fastened to the floor in
the jail was put around his neck and
made secute, tho other end made fast
to a limb of the trefe and the bench
was knocked from uiulei bis feet. As
the negto swung in the air a numhei
. f shots were fln-J into his body.
The lynching party retraced their
-teps to the depot and took the up
train. It is said that seventeen men
left Augusta on Tuesday evening on
passenger train of the Cential
Railroad aud got off at Waynesboro*.
