General Orders, No. 22.
Numerous applications having been made
to the Major-General com man ding, relative
to the provisions and the execution of Gen -
eral Ordeis, No. 49, series of 1867, from
these headquarters, ana being Satisfied Irom
reports and representations, that iu some in
stances, the operations of the order have
proved embarrassing and of an elect not
deaigued when issued —the intention having
been to prevent bt prompt and energetic ac

hinder, and delay reconstruction under the
acts of Congre.-B—ho therefore directs that
the aforesaid order be modi?ed to read as
follows:
I. The citing of all advettisements and
other t ffida! publications heretofore or lid e

it is to cause such publications to be made,
is prohibiting to such newspapres, and such

During a eiiort staj in the city.of
Macon, we bad the rleasure of forming
tbe acquaintances of several gentlemen
of the city pres?, by whom we were
treated to the most hospitable manner,
especially that lime-worn veteran of the
Journal tU Messenger —leng tuay he five
yet to [ropegate truth and justice
in hit widely circulated paper. We re
turn many thanks to the Telegraph for
m kindly notice in the columns of that,
odc among the best of newspapers. We
would say that both papers in tho fresh,
ness, vigor and honest boldness of their
editorial, and in all that make No. 1
wide awake papers are surpaiscd by
none North or South.
We had the honer of meeting up with
aim forming the acquaintance of that
bold and learle* gentleman, Mr
Grouby, editor of the Early County
News. May he ever remain a terror to
Bureau men and other pest, that infest
our once glorious country.
We also enjoyed the hospitality of
the well known proprietor es the Na
tional Hotel, Major B V. Dense, who
cannot be surpassed. His well known
fame deserves no comment from us.
To The Farmer*.
Every farmer should now have his
corn land well brokeu or bedded out
When this is well done and done in
time you will find it to be half the
work towards the making of a crop,
and you will also be more than amply
repaid for your trouble. Your land
will keep soft and mellow until the'
crop is laid by.
Every hill of corn should bo manur
ed if possible, and for every bill of
corn, thore should be one of peas. If
you cannot gather them ali, they will
be found by your stock in the winter
months when they so greatly need
them. Every farmer should always
plant enough in corn to make a yeur’s
support, even if it should be a very
dry year; and to make heavy corn—
give good distance—say four and a
half to five leet each way in ordina
ry land; rich bottom land will ot
course bear closer planting Another
very important item in making corn is
to secure a good “stand” from the :
first planting ; the best plan to obtain .
this is to never plant less than three
grains in a hill, lour, or even five grains j
is still better; out of this number you
are almost sure to gel one stout, heal- :
thy plant. Always thin down to one
stand for uplands.

11 His Satanic Majesty, in the course
of time, does not got the full pos oesion
with u quit-claim title to boot, of the
whole tribe of that people whose by
pocritical proclivities and inclinations
predominate over the finer attributes
of the human soul—then is he cheated
of his just dues; for if there is any
clu sos people in the world that richly
deserveth, fall into ‘.be hands of the
devil; it is that class that tries, and in
many cases with much success, to de
ceive tho world us to their religious
nnd moral virtues and characters;
those who would throw dive only, in
some secret place, for a penny, and
then on the Sabbath, chan pe their fa
ce's for tbe oecasion and betake them
selves to some bouse of worship and
there before the eyes of the world,
“wet their cheeks wi h artificial tears.’
Such is indeed sac-religious, and
though the hypocrite may think this
way cf humbugging the world is a
very good way of living—that he can
enjoy his midnight revels, and at the
same time it is one of the wickedest
and most unpardonable courses a man
ever pursued.
Lot the Houlli Organize.
We arc pleased to see movements
commenced for Democratio organization
in the South, says the LaCrosse Demo
crat. It is important that this should
be done early and well Every South
ern Slate should he fully represented in
the Democratic National Convention by
its soundest and truest men. Setrd no
O lifts, Joe Bitow ns or other wcak-kueed
and reefeant Southerners—men who
were embarrassing tho Confederate
government and plotting its overthrow
throughout the late tremendous strug
gle for Southern rights and constitu
tional liberty against the puritan cru
sade tor the subjection of tho white
men of the South to negro and mongrel
supremacy, and who, since tho triumph
of the Federal arms, in part by the aid
of their machinations, have voluntarily
placed themselves on a level with ne
groes, and not onlywhat, hut sought to
impose upon their white neighbors the.
same degradation.
This contest is to be waged upon prin
ciple, and cur standard hearers must be
men of principle, sound in the faith.
Send as delegates from the South,
men who can be depended upon—who
know tbe true men of the North, and
will stand by them.
Let cot tbe votes of tho Southern
delegates be east for men who, through
either cowardice, venality nr lack of
principle, aided and abetted the most
gigantic wrong of modern days.
Men of tbe South, bo true to them
who have been true to you when it in
volved peril of personal violence, dc -
struction of property, unlawful impris
onment, and even death |itself by meb
law or illegal military commissions
Set atidc all policy men who barter
principle fer safety or office, for they
have failed you in the past and will be
tray you in the future.
The surest way for you and us to win,
is to put in nomination the boldest and
most radical lUmocrats who can be
found. The people are groaning un
der mongrel rule. They want a change.
The change they wont is one that will
bring them relief. It must be radical,
thorough, unsurpassing—one that cuts
deep into the heart of the great ques
tions that are agitating the public mind.
They want to stop at no half-way houso
between mongrelism and genuine De
mocracy.
We want men for President and
Vice President who have nerve, pluck,
military spirit and daring ! who, if they
receive a majority of the white votes of
the United States, including yours, men
of the South, will march to Washing*
ton at the head of and backed by the
white men of Amcrioa, and take their
sea’s, and reinaugurate the white man’s
government, in spite of men or devils !
They will go "either with their
shields, or upon them !" Dead or alive,
they must go, borne, if need be, ly a
million of armed men l
Aod will- > s may be the progress
or mongrel reconstruction—let your
States be organized into block Status,
or 6tand as tbey do now, in a state of po
ll ical chaos—you, men of the South,
must record your votes, and they must
be counted, and as that count shall
show, together with :he votes east by
the white men of the North, the major
ity for or against our caodidutes, so
shall the result be declared, and to shall
it stand and be carried out !
If this brings bloodshed, then let
blood flow !
If ibis carries war into tbe manufac
turing dis’rict and commercial cities of
the North—if the torch which has blaz
ed through the South, loaving but des
olate hearthstones and blackened ruins,
visits the grand structures ami costly
machine of Lowell and Lawrence, built
by the poor man’* sweat, and made
prosperous by tribute wrung from the
poor man’s bard earnings, and levels
with the dust the proud and boasted
palaces of Stewart and others, who arro
gate the title of ‘‘Morchaot Princes” in
our land, then let the torch blaze , and
conjhtyration run not ;
Hut ail tilts, and more aui worre
come, if they will have it so, rather
than acknowledge the just rights, and
yield-to the mum rtf. bcrrE-macy or
THE WHITE MEN OF AMERICA !
Let our candidates be pledged to this,
and possess the supreme qualities oj reso
lutton and courage to carry the thing
through, and triumph is certain /
Before such a spirit the mongrel
cowards will quail, and acknowledge
defeat.
They would not dare to force on such
an issue !
Then we say to all Democrats, both
North and South, be firm ! be true !!
be brave !1! Tbe destinies, the fate,

Meeting of lire Conservative
Male Central Committee.
Macon, Ga , February 13, 1868.
In response to a call from the Chair
man, the Central Committee of the
Conservative Party of Georgia hold a
meeting at the Lanier House, in this
city, this evening, and the Secretary
was instruc ed to spread before tbe
public the following extract of their
proceedings:
“Whereas, The only party at the
North which maintains the Cons'itution
of the United States as made and con
strued by the fathers, and the union ot
the States thereunder, is organized un
del the name of the National Demo
cratic party; and whereas, all men in
that dominant section of our common
country, without regard to .he differ
ences of opinion upon dead issues or
living issues of minor consequence, em
bracing the honored and illustrious
names of Fillmore, Wintfcrop, Dolittle,
tho Adamses, Dixon, Cowan, and o It
ers too numerous to mention, are either
moulded iuto that great organization
or acting in cordial concert vithit;
and whereas, dose co-operation with
that parly is demanded by the instinct
es self-preservation, the first law of na
ture, as the only rational mode of es
cap>e from the iron rule of military des
potism, to he followed by the more
humiliating condition of negro supre
macy ; and whereas, many of the
Clubs, organized in the several coun
ties of this State under the auspices of
this Central Exutive Committee, have
already assumed the Democratic Dame,
and others have forwarded here tboir
action, requesting this Committee to
assume tbe name of, and fuse all Con
servatives into the body of that party :
therefore, by virtue of the powers vest
ed in us by tbe Convention assembled
in tho city cf Macon in December
last,
"Resolved, That this Committee as
Bums the name of and be hereafter
known as, "The Central Executive
COMMITTEE OF TUE NATIONAL DkXO
cratic Party of Georgia,” and we
recommend to the various Clubs vat
present organised as Conservative
Clubs, and to all tbe good people of
Georgia, to torm upon this, the only
practical constitutional line, and gath
er under this, the only banner left
lrom the wreck of the civil war, on
which are still emblusoned the funds -
mental truths taught by our fathers of
every 'party throughout the entire
country—" The Constitution, the only
bond of fraternal UuioD—equal rights
to every State, the only true construc
tion of that bond.”
"Resolved, That it would be prem
ature, in view of the purposes of our
late Convention, in the appointment of
this Committee, to express any opinion
or give any advice at the present time
as to the proper action of the people
of Georgia upon the proceedings of
the Convention at Atlanta.
"Resolved, That this Commute urge
upon our friends in the several counties \
to perfect their organizations at the
earliest day possible, and report to the
Secretary of this Committee.
"Resolved, That ihe tearless st’and I
taken and mu’nturned by President
Andrew Johnson, for the rights of the
whole people and the Constitution of
our country, deserves and receives
from our honest and ; alrictio men
wherever found, their unstinted respect
and admiration j and that as men loyal'
to the Const.lutiou, we desire to give
public expression to our comnionda
tion of his course.”
Ttue exiruct from the minutes
J R. Sneed,
Secretary.
Commenting upon the foregoing, the
Macon Telegraph makes the following
patriotic and sensible comments, under
the head of* “Party Matters in Ueor
gia
“The Central Executive Committee
of the Conservative Paity of Georgia
held a meeting in this city Thursday
night, and made some important rce
onitnendations to the friends of the
cause throughout the State An ex
tract from their proceedings, imbrue
n.'l matters of a nature to he made pub
lic, w ill he found in our colums this
morning.
“It will be seen that the Committee
have rocommended the immediate
consolidation of tbe party which ii rep
resents with the National Uemocratie
party, and have given their reason? for
the action. The matter was long and
thoroughly discussed, with information
drawn irom all available sources, and
the Committee unanimously arrived at
the conclusion that the course suggest
ed was Dot only demanded by every
consideration of policy, hut had be
oomo, in view of the present jiosition
of State and National affairs, as imper
ative necessity Such is tbei r deliber
ate judgement, and they trust the
change recommended will command
tbe unanimous and hearty ajjtoval of
every Conservative in tbe State.—
Speaking for ouraelvee, we have no
hesitaiion in giving it our cordial en
dorsement, and in advising our friends
everywhere in the South to receive it
in good faith and support it by their
unquahfied co-operation We Wave
nothing to do now with the dead past,
wi’.h its names aud its struggles, and
is partisan memories should hb ban
ished forever from our minds. The
Southern people are in chains and
slavery, and the great work before
them is deliverance aud libel ty. To
no other organization under the sun
than the Democratic party can we
look for aid in this vital consummation
involving aii that is dear to us ami our
children. They are to-day, and are
destined to continue to be, our only
friends and, to say nothing of the dic
tates of gratitude, the impulses of self
preservation demand that we should
idea ify ourselves fully with them and
their eause. Any holding back or re
luctauce in tho face of sacred an i im
perative behests would be discredita
ble to our reason and unworthy of us
as a paople Old issues have passed
away, and at the j resent, day there is
not a solitary political principle, or
theory, or measure advoca'ed by the
National Democracy which they do
not hold in common with the Conserv
atives of the South. Their views, their
aim?, their sympathies are all one and
the sane. Thus identified, a longer
separation would be uuw ise, unnatural,
and unsafe.
’f t these reasons, and others that
wo might name, we call upon every
Consei vative, aud every patriot if
whatever name, at the South, to rally
to the support of the only party that,
can triumph over the cohorts of des
potism, give liberty to our oppressed
people, and save from destruction ihe
Constitution and government of our
fathers."
The Alabama Flection.
From the returns already receivtd it
appea s certain that the infamous negro
Constitution has been rejected ly the
people of Alabama. All honor to the
honest white men and black men of Al
abama. They have achieved a glorious
victory against the most infamous com
bination of force and fraud, and every
species of villainy that ever disgraced a
civilized community. This success in a
sister State should animate and encour
age the honest people of Georgia, both
white and black, to rally in all of their
strength, and vote down the negro abor
tion, called a Constitution, which will
soon make its appearance in Atlanta.—
In some of its features the Georgia Con
stitution is much more objectionable
than that which has been rejected by the
people of Alabama. Tbe Georgia Con
stitution concocted in Atlanta appears
to be constructed for the express purpose
of degrading and demoralizing the peo
ple. It offers a premium for dishones
ty and gives aid and comfort to negroes
of every sort. How can any man vote
for such a Constitution without being
suspected of dishonesty ? Or rather,
how oan a man vote for suoh a Con
stitution without feeling that he i sdis
hi n ;rt ? The honest pcoplo of Alabam *
have gained this important victory by
means of a complete organization. We
hope the honest men of Georgia will
profit by the example set in Alabama.
Let us have a rousing Domocratic Con
vention, and by this meaos rally the
people, and organize and prepare for
the struggle. Let committees be ap
pointed in every county, and see that
none vote oxcept those who have the
right, aod let them see that there is no
cheating in counting the ballots. If
we expect to defeat the Radioals, we
must watch as well as pray, and Work
as well as watch, from this time until
the ballots aie counted.— Federal Ln
ion.
On all tides there is heard a demand

We invite the attend a c-ur of readers,
says the Atlanta \lntdligenc<r, and of
the anti-radical P|css ol this B ate, to
iho following address of the‘ Young
M-m’s Democratic Club,” of this city,
to the young men of our State That
from one end of Ge ’rgia to the other
the eli quqpt appeal will be responded
to in a mariner indicative of the firm
resolve on ihe part of those to whom it
is addressed, that this must remain, as
its original framers designed, a white
man’* government, we have not a doubt.
Read the address, young ruen of Geor
gia, and prepare to do your duty to the
homo of your fatbpra, to yonr own na
tive or adopted State.
To flic Young Mcr of Georgia.
At * recent meeting of the “Young
Meu’s Democratic Club ot Fulton Coun
ty,” the undersigned were appointed a
committee to prepare an address setting
forth the purposes of our Association,
and urging your co-operation for their
accomplishment. Our object is tbe
maintenance and perpetuation of the
principles of the Democratic party as
opposed to the dangerous political here*
esies of Radicalism as connected with
and subordinate ty this, tbe more i ffec'u
al resistance to the rec -ns:ruction of our
State under the late Congressional leg
islation on the subject. Iu lliV"ktt>g
your aid and sympathy in the m vi
meut suggested, we beg to assure you
that our conduc is not prompted by
mere factious spin' of opposition, but
has been decided upon af . r earnest aud
careful rctl ction. We would bail with
unaffec ed pleasure the restoration of
Georgia to her aneient relations to the
j General Government, but neither our
sense of obligation to that government,
nor the feeling of attachment which we
cherish for eur native section, will suf
fer us to oonsent for such restoration to
take place upon a plan which, in our
honest übJ deliberate judgement, is so
monstrous in i's principle and so fraught
with ruia and disgrace.
Among many reasons which have in
flueßoeii us, one of tho chief is the con
viction that tbe measures kuowu us the
Recons.ruction Aets arc in up. u and di
rect violation of the Constitution under
which they were<paßM‘d. Without un
i taking to argue what is so obvious, ami
i what has been elaborately and ably dis
) cussed, we shall rather content ourselves
; with begging you to abide, iu fidelity,
- your obligations to that instrument
| We would, however especially refer on
| this point, to the veto messages if
! I‘resident .Johnson, a mao who, wbatev
|er may have been tbe.-faults ami glo
j rice of a long career of public service,
- has ranked himself with tbe most illus
trious <-f American patriots as an ex
! pounder and- defender ol the great na
| tioual compact, it may be remarked
here in addition, that, at a time vvbe i
the dominant pany is ruled by very mad
uess, its leader does not pro end to
6cck in the Constitution a pretext fur
the nefarious and tyranical schemer
which hatted has begotten of felly. Ut
turns, outraged, from viba* is so barren
of justification f.-r the iuiqui ies instiga
ted by his malignant natuie, and, in de
fiance, boldly declares himself as actii g
outside of its provisions.
.We a-sumed thee, that there Act*
are uncoustitutiou jI, and wo now pro
pound to you an inquiry which wc have
addressed to ourselves ; ‘Shall the Con
stitution be obeyed, or shall it fco vio
lated?’ This question wc for our
selves bavo answered. We stand by
cur duty. What do you say ? TLeie
can be but one response. Its consuuiate
wisdom is expressed in ev.ry line.—
Framed by statesmen who viewed ih
character of man with a calm, deep r i n
etration, and a thorough understanding
of bis history, and who were faithful to
his rights, it embodies all that can be
wished for in a system for enlightened
freemen. Tbe record of of our pas-,
as a people, speaks for its observance
with an unanswerable logic. When
ever its principles have been held sa
cred, the American people have been
blessed with all that constittutos na
tional happiness. Our prosperity is so
interwoven with its doctrines that, wbik
they are its explanation, it is their lib
tory. It is alone our safety, our happi
ness, and our prosperity. Besides, have
we not sworn to protect and defend it ?
If all other considerations mentioned,
were worthb as and unavailing, we mneb
misapprehend ihe character ot tiie
young men of Georgia, it this alone
would not be sufficient to control, them.
Their oaths are inviolable. Then let
us resist, to rhe utmost of our power,
these acts which arc in such shamcle>s
disregard of a Constitution to which we
are bound by so many motives of inter
est, of duty, and of honor.
If, leaving these high considerations
of unconstitutional duty, we inquire into
the policy of these measures, wo shall
still find occasion for uncompromising
hostility to them. Tbe power with
which, for the sake of humiliating us
and confirming a parly despotism, 'hey
propose to invest tbe negro, is without
any show of justification. It oantra
dicts all reason and experience as te re
publican governments. It is an admit
ted and 'Ct.ine that they rest, upon the in
telligence, the virtue, and tbe discretion
of theircitisens. This has been espe
cially recognized and insisted upou by
tbe American people. It has been the
constant policy cf the government, al
mosj from its foundation, to require ot
foreigners, as a condition to naturaliza
tion, proof of a resilience of several
years wihitnuour territory, of good
moral character, and attachment to the
principles of tho Constitution, upon the
theory that otherwise it would be dan-:
gerous to entrust them with the rights
of citizenship, 'Though this dootrine
is indisputable in itself, ali i has receiv
ed our ut questioning sanciiou, Rtdieal
isur strives, without demanding any
such preliminary qualifications, or, in
deed, any qualification, to commit the
elective tranchisii, the CLp t privil.gc
of a citizen, to every negro man ■1 full

g-ueiuus shores, no in >Uer what their
character, understanding, or cultivation,
must pass along preparatory process, aod

e -uiiDg cit.zons ;,bul a people who know
not the t-fguificatioß of government, who
are fresh from a state the moat un
friendly to the requisites of republican
ism, who for intelligence bring to it the
profoundcst ignorance for the training
frecmcD, tbe education ot abso’utc sub
j ction, and for virtuous and manly
character, tbe imbecility of childhood
and the vices of a social degradation,
must have lavished upon them, unsought
the highest immunities of -American
citizenship, It ;s to he remarked, too,
thi- sudden and irrational elevation of
these people is not for tbe purposes of a
oaut ous, temporary experiment, to be
J mited to a small number, tew enough
to be powerless for evil j nearly one
hundred thousand in the single State of
Georgia are, at once, by tbe permanent
organic law, to be summoned from the
darkness, the stupidity, and the vice of
abject slavery to cgeiche, at the ballot
box, »ke sacred functions of freedom
and become, to a large extent, the blind
arbiters of destiny to millions of (hem
selves and millions of us. That this
authority should be vested in any men
who unite iD themselves only the ele
ments of unfitness for its right use,
would seem to be a wrong mighty
enough j when we refloct that these men
were, with no consent cf ours, freed
fr m a bondage to us, these m asures,

petuate and unprecedented wrong, be

tm-ul'ing Tho adjustment of politi

Tho exultation of the negro*is attended
with what is of kindred character, the
distrancUisement and consequent loss of
us, iu a measure, of a majority of our
ablest and best statesmen, Here, more
than elsewhere, if possible, appear the
diabolical auimus ol Radicalism. With
out ii.vestiga'ion or heariog, the fate of
this class is decided. Ability and fi
delity in public place, and the affection
of their follow citizens are *i.z and upon
as the test and made tho guaranty of
distrust aud dishorn r. Gan the young
men of Georgia, by voluntary couseut,
become parties to a legislative policy so
full of studied injury aud humiliation
to our once proud Commonwealth ?
We confidently believe that you sym
paibizo with the purposes and opinions
we have thus expressed ; and we, there
fore, call upon you to uaite with us - in
an earnest and determined endeavor to
make them effectual. In our judge
ment, this can be most successfully ac
complished by the formation, in every
county in the State, of organizations
similar to our own, and we, therefore,
beg most respectfully to urge upon you
tbe adoption ol this plan. By a zeal
'ous, patient, combi usd struggle, it may
be, that, under a favoring Provideueo,
our 1 v and Georgia may be rescued from
the dread destiny that threatens her,
and again rendered worthy of her glo
rious past.

Exil Bradley.
Tins ci’eature lias returned to the
bosom of nis constituents, w o are told,
lie did uol “eland upon th« «»riler t*f
his going.” but went—and did so
promptly—taking the train at some
water station between At’an a and
Decatur. Bradley seems to .have en
tertained fears of personal violence,
and will doubtless so represent to tbe
negro element about Savannah ; but if
there was any harm meditated to his
worthless carcass, we have yet to hear
of it. Though wo think Bradley
should have a good master, and be
taught, through the persuasive instru
mentality of a cow hide, how to behave
himself; yet he could have taken his
departure from the car-shed as other
pas engers do, without mo’esta ion.—
It was i ntirely unnecessary for him, as
a measure of salety, to depart like
a thief in the night, as we are told be
did.— Intelligencer.
The editor of tho Louisville
Journal says if he possessed the most
valuable things in tbe world, nnd was
about to will them away, the blow
ing wou’d be his plan lor distribu
tion :
I would givo the world truth and
frien ship, which is very scarce.
1 would also give an additional
portion of truth to lawyers and mer
chants.
I would give to physicians skill and
learning.
I would give to printers their pay.
To gossiping women, good eerrsd,
modesty, large waists and natural
teeth.
To young spouts, nnd dandies, com
mon sense, little cash and hard la
bor.
To old maids, tempers, smooth
faces, little talk and good husbnnds
To old bachelors, love for virtue
children and wives.

pgT Mr. W. B. Moore, Agent of
the iieccjmeu’s bureau, says the Madi
son Auditor, bus circulated a uotiew
throughout that county, notifying all
negroes m idleness, within the limit*
of the sumo, that they must procure
employment before the 8d Wednes
day in this month, otherwise they will
be reported as vagrants and dealt with
accordingly.
In order to ascertain tho names of
all such, tho Judge of tbe couoty
Court, and the Marshal of the city of
Madison, are requested to prepare and
furnish him with lists of names on hi*
arrival in this city on the day men
tioned. We are glad to see this or
der, and wibh it may be rigidly en
forced in every district in the State.-
There are hundreds and thousand* of
negroes of both sexes in this State who
are in no service, and who will not
seek any employment, by wnich they
may obtain an honest livelihood, unless
required to do so by the enforcement
of tne vagrant acts, or some other
more severe measures. Let this agent
have assistance that he may faciliate
the objects of his visit hers on th«
third Wednesday, as expressed above
and we doubt Dot the community will
be relieved ot much of tbe idle and
vicious of the negro population

HAVING had fifteen years experience in
a successful practice of Dentistry, and
having had so ‘many sufferers during that
time, from that awful disease—that demon—
i toothache ; aud seeiug so many resorting to
, the extracting of thoae organs, which are so
I essential to health and life, that I at once set
out to see if there was not some preparation
that could be introduced that would destroy
the nerve acd save the tooth. 1 tried several
preparations, but found none entirely effec
tual, so I went to work myself to see what
success I could have, and after trying many
things, I have at lust discovered the great ob
ject of my purpose in the undertaking. And
uow having discovered such relief for so tor
menting pain, I feel it my duly to introduce
to ihe public. It is a Paste, put up in email
i bottles, with directions accompanying each
i bottle. This.js a sate remedy for toothache
where the cause is from exposed nerves.—
This is no him hug. I stake my reputation
