THE JULY SESSION.
The Radicals are bestirring themselves vig
orously to bring about a July session of Con
p ess, in order to counteract the Attorney Gen
cit>l’s liberal interpretation of the Registration
Act. Several M. C.’s, who have axes to gtfnd
at the Federal Capital outside the creation of
. Republican forms of government, may already
lie seen on Pennsylvania Avenue. Among them
looms up the mighty Judd, who, by superhu
man efforts, succeeded in getting ladders ex
empted from taxation. The New York corres
pondents crow over the arrival of the immortal
Judd, and declare that his great ladder feat
“stamps him as a legislator.” We have no
doubt of his energy in the matter, aud, as times
go, confess that his statesmanship is worthy of
every ladder save Jacob’s. The Hon. Leonard
Jlyerb has. abandoned a trip to Europe, pre
ferring the bliss of legislative perspiration.
Speaker Colfax has telegraphed to the hotel
keepers for apartments, and will substitute cold
facts for warm theories. The whole Wisconsin
delegation, eager tor the spoils of the lobby and
the applause of unlimited Dinahs in the gallery,
■Will be on hand. Gen. Schf.nck, the chief cook
ttnd bottle-washer of the Congressional Com
mittee, is overwhelmed with letters and tele
grams from different members of both Houses,
and predicts that a quorum will he present on
the third of July.
The Democrats declare their willingness to
participate in the national love feast., which
may terminate in a new era of turbulence. If
Airdled together and a quorum be present, Mr.
Btanbery’s Opinion will probably be set aside
and certain inquisitorial enactments or amend
ments substituted.
The Tribune thinks the President will insist
■upon his construction of the law. Meanwhile,
the third of July is near at hand and Philip
t *ERinAN still lords it over Louisiana, after
pulling both Andrew Johnson and Ulysses
Grant by the beard. Mr. Johnson is tardy
hut Mr. Johnson is politic, lie hopes and
prays, no doubt, that Congress will meet and
' save him the trouble of administering justice
according to the illumination of Stanbert.
This consolation will probably be granted him,
find then the President will say : You sec, fel
low-countrymen, it is a great outrage and the
Cabinet did its level best to save you. 1 have
Bworn to execute the laws and Congress says
Sheridan’s idea is better than mine. I will
disappoint those who think my administration
ol this assault upon our institutions will be
■weak and effete. I will, on the contrary, vigor
ously and scrupulously obey it. In conclusion,
fellow-citizens of our common country, let us
never forget the Constitution of our fathers.
It has been in imminent peril and when we
drift away from it, the country bids fair to be
swamped. Let us beseech Almighty God that
so direful a calamity may be spared us. The
future is full of hope ; we must never doubt
the future while Seward, our Secretary, can
raise three cheers for North Carolina in Hie bub
of the universe and Gens. Pope aud Sheridan
assume tlie heaven-horn l ight of American citi
zens to suub the President of the United Stales.
Fellow-citizens, I thank you lor your confidence.
Stand by the Constitution !”
Very much in ttiis style will President Jonx
■fcsON talk, if Congress replace the heart of the
ruthlessly torn out by the sau
im mu
it-,,

KELLEY AT'HOME.
Mr. W. 1). Kelley made a speech on his re
turn home, from which we clip the following :
“At Atlanta I addressed a meeting resembling
that in Montgomery, in numbers, character and
good order. The same generous expressions
followed my remarks, and among the pleasant
things said by the many who gathered around
me, was an offer by the Quartermaster General
of the Confederate State of Georgia to pay my
expenses it I would remain in the State and
address the people of every county.
On arriving at Augusta, we were met. by
Mayor Blodgett, and at llu: Planters’ Mouse, to
which he conducted us, were waited upon by
large numbers ol citizens. 1 shall always regret
that my engagements preeluded the possibility
of my complying with tludr urgent request to
remain aud address the citizens.”
The Quartet master General must have saved
a considerable pile of “demnition cash,” if he
made any such offer. Inasmuch as Kelley re
fused the inducement, there are many charitable
objects more worthy titan Kelley supplicating
assistance and heeding the benefactions of
surplus wealth. We hope the Quartermaster
General will lend them a helping hand.
The “ large numbers of citizens who waited
* upon him at Augusta ” must have been mem
bers of the Happy Family, reduplicated from
time to time, like mimic warriors at the
theatre. Gen. Pope’s request to “ dry up ’’
and the publication of John Griffin’s terrible
letter of exposure, were enough to hurry him
away from this town in spite of the “urgent re
quests” of his political brotherhood.
THE OARTERSVILLE AND VANWERT
p RAILROAD.
We publish, in another column, a communica
tion from Mr. 8. F. Stephens, President of the
Cartersviile and VanWcrt Railroad. This is
one of several branches projected to connect
with Decatur and shorten the distance been
Memphis and Charleston. We call attention to
the communication and trust the different com
panies may he aide to harmonize on some gen
eral plan of action. The necessity of pushing
our way Westward by rail is urgent. The Hon.
John P. Kino, in his late report to the stock
holders of the Georgia Railroad, dwells upon
this important enterprise and commends it to
the energy of Georgia capitalists. Mr. Btephrns
gives cogent reasons for preferring tho route he
represents. They should be examined and
profited by. It Cartersviile and Van Wert be
the proper points of connection, the people of
Georgia should aid tho enterprise as far as pos
sible.
REGISTRATION.
All who can conscientiously register should
do so promptly. A convention can be defeated
only by a general registration of the whites en
titled to the privilege. Should a Convention
be called, the State Constitution it adopts, if
objectionable, can be rejected. A July session
of Congress may nullify the Attorney General’s
decision, but the more prudent course seems
to be in taking the registration as you find it
and not awaiting the possibilities of a Con
gressional raid upon Mr. Stanbery.
* Swindling the Colored People.—The ig
norance of some of the poor colored people
of the proper way to become voters, and their
eagerness to get registered, enable rogues ol
all descriptions to practice upon them. The
Fredericksburg (Va.) Ledger reports that a man
recently appeared in that neighborhood and
claimed to be a registrar of votes, and for fan
cied services in registering the names or colored
voters, collected a dollar eacli from them, by
which he realized 12,000 before he was discov
ered.

Proceedings of the Supreme Court of Geor- |
gia in Commemoration of our late Chief {
Justice, Joseph Henry Lumpkin. |
Supreme Court Room, )
Millkdgkville, Ga., June 25,1867. (
ily appointment, his Excellency Governor
Jenkins, as Chairman of the Committee ap
pointed some weeks siuee to prepare a memo
rial in lionor of our late Chief Justice, appear,
cd at 10 o’clock this morning, and submitted
the following report:
REPORT OF TIIE COMMITTEE.
in tho days of gloom through which our be
loved State is now passing, we are called, with
unwonted frequency, to record and to lament
tlie. death of her wisest, best and most useful
sons. To that ever-lengthening catalogue we
eome now, with heavy hearts, to add the name
. of Joseph Henry Lumpkin—a name to which
even well earned titles can add neither lustre
nor dignity—a name which, during many years,
has not failed to awaken honest pride in all
true Georgian hearts—pride still uudiminish
ed, though saddened by Die consciousness
Hurt it no longer lias a place on the rolls of the
living.
A native of Georgia, he was educated in her
seminaries until, when far advanced in the cur
riculum of our University, adverse events tem
-1 porarily closed its doors, and drove her youth
i to sock instruction abroad. Then, witli honor
, to Idmselt and his State, lie completed his col
legiate course at Nassau Hall, at a time, when
' that vonera hie Institution confessedly main
tained a high standard of scholarship. Return
ing home with t.ho prestige of collegiate hon
ors, he devoted to the study of the legal pro
-1 Cession a mind of acknowledged superiority,
I already trained to severe application, and
i quickened by an earnest and laudable ambition
. to do good and to acquire fame.
. Arrived at manhood, and admitted to the bar
, in the year 182-, he entered zealously upon the
: practice ot'liis profession. But his fcllow-citi
zeiis of Oglethorpe, the comity of his residence,
quick to discern the power lie wielded, and tlie
‘ virtue that controlled it, promptly demanded
, his services in tlie councils of the State—no
, slight distinction bestowed by a constituency,
accustomed lo i>e served by a Urawford, a Cobb,
.in I Upson and a Gilmer. When lie entered
• i lie Legislature, that noble Roman, George M.
i Troup, worthy successor of Oglethorpe—grand
„ exemplar of executive purity and ability-held
Hie olijne of Governor. Accustomed to draw
• around him, to pjape in public view, and to
: urge onward the promising youth of the State,
he placed Mr. Lumpkin on his military staff,
and lints introduced him to a brotherhood of
choice spirits. Some ot us, then Just old enough
: to note intelligently passing events and pro
minent actors, are here to avouch their true
l nobility ttnd to mingle our regrets, that all but
three fl.umpkiq the latest,) have followed their
great Chief on that u.qjf pathway which leads
i t hrough tlie valley of tlie sliaiioy gi’ death.
Jti the interval between tho administration of
Governor Troup and tlie vear 1860, Georgia
1 grew rapidly in population, in mineral wealth,
I and in other recageifgif) indicia of modern
. civilization; hut in the elements of trqo great
ness, that earlier period—the third decade of
' the nineteenth century—was her palmy day.
> Then, i**T contributions to American states
• mansiitp, wbef.iipf' gfnjdoycd in our national or
State councils, was (argue*; J|ieu was put forth
her maximum ol intellectual vigqr, ff; the ex
position and defense of American epnstitqtiqqnl
i liberty. The future hjelorjan, in writing the
I annals of Georgia for that time, Will accord,
‘ 1 there were giants in those days."
1 It was in this period that Joseph Henry
‘ Lumpkin appeared in the General Assembly ol
. Ids native State, carrying with him a reputation
rarely attained s° early in life, and encounter
’ ing such competition *n* wc have indicated, lie
1 passed bravely and snacnssfhlly through the
, ordeal, winning new laurels and gathering
, around him a host of friends who, with inloxi
eating plaudits, cheered him on in what they re
garded a splendid political career just opening.
As a psrli.nnienf.ary debater, he evinced varied
knowledge, e igY/fO)!'* thought, and captivating
elocution surprising in no young. He was
fairly before tlie public, and i,li fj ; ;j auguries
promised signal success. His legislative ea
reer, however, was very brief, limited to two
sessions of the General Assembly, those of
182+ ami JS2S. In this one instance—the
choice of life-long arena—lie disappointed pub
lic expectation. That choice fell upon the
forensic, to the utter abandonment o» the po
litical ; and though at intervals disturbed by
pressing importunities, was never reconsider
ed. Forthwith, with characteristic ardor, he
threw himself into the practice of his profess
ion. In exploring the intricacies of law, as a
science, he found both mental occupation and
compensating pleasure. In its practice there
was connection enough, of mind with mind, to
satisfy the yearnings of an active spirit. As a
counsellor, lie was remarkable for careful ex
amination, accurate analysis and reliable ad
vice. In court lie showed t>iigi(elf well lot-tided
in the law, and fully conversant with ffie facts
of his cases. In unfolding the former he
reasoned closely, but not coldly. Without im
pairing the logic it demauded, his imagination
constantly brought relief by garnishing its dull
details. Coldness, indeed, was foreign to his
nature. His impulses grcrc quick—strong—
-1 generous. Nature wove into his temperament
that nervous excitability which constitutes the
subtle, controlling mesmerism of eloquence.
Combined with these traits, and vastly en
hancing their practical efficiency, was the puri
ty, the virtue ot ids life, iiis unbending integri
ty in business affairs, which shone conspicuous
ly wherever lie lived, and moved, and acted, —
Men admired, and trusted, and sympathized
with him in all tilings.
; Grouping in the mind these qualities— physi
i cal, menial and moral —we shall ho prepared to
i appreciate Ids power as an advocate —a power
, which impressed and moved as well the learned
i as the simple—a power, under whose magic
spell jurors, oblivious of the stern authority of
the bench, have at times sprung from their
seats ci«itri|ied, and, at others, have uttered
audible response to bis stirring appeals.
His practice was extensive, successful and
lucrative. If he did not. amass wealth, it was
because lie valued money chiefly for its uses,
prominent among which lie ranked the rites of
hospitality and the devoirs of charity. Not
withstanding his ability, and Hie frequent suc
cesses he achieved in the forum, he took de
light in adjusting controversies and ending liti
gation by accord —a beautiful finish to the toute
ememble ot the truly great ban ister,
Thus passed, after a brief dalliance with poli
ties, (the young lawyer’s artful seducer) twenty
years of arduous, unremitting toil, with tlie too
common result of failing health. This sug
gested, as a matter ot duty, the immediate re
alization of a long cherished dream of foreign
travel —and abroad be went. Thus, complete
ly disenthralled of business, and ot care
threading tlie streets and art galleries of re
nowned cities, and roaming over historic fields
and classic grounds —with ids remarkable sus
ceptibilities, physical, mental and moral, a lew
months suflicied to re-establish his health and
to strengthen him for the work of future years.
In the fall ot the year 1845, Col. Lumpkin re
turned lo his native State, but not to resume as
he contemplated, the practice of Ids profession.
Just at that time the State of Georgia had como
tardily to the establishment of a Supreme
Court, to the end that tlie law might be uni- :
foranly and correctly administered. This court
was constituted ofjlircc Judges. To Colonel
Lumpkin, as tlie lit occupant of the highest
position on that bench all eyes turned. To it ,
he aececded without candidacy and without ■
competition. To it lie was called, not admit
ted. Thrice re-elected on the expiration of sue- '
CC’sive terms, he never encountered opposition, j
never looked in tlie face of a competitor. The i
strongest competition would lint have served
to develop his superior strength. In the Con
stitution of the Court there was made by law
no titular distinctions among its members.
But the incumbents were elected first for terms
of six, four and two years, severally, each sub- 1
sequent election to lie for a term of six years.
Tlie elective body assigned to Col. Lumpkin
the longest term, and this was the distinction
conferred on him. Ills associates gracefully ,
yielded to him the Presidency, thus confirming |
ids claim to precedence. But whilst, in the j
course of time—the seats on either side of him t
repeatedly clinked occupants, the same vener- f
able form staid ily holding the centre, came to
be regarded as the impersonation of the Court.
So entirely did tills idea pervade the public
mind that the Legislature, at length, made him
by title, as he had ever been in lact, Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court.
Trained in the law, of which he was a close
student, by a practice extending nearly or quite
through a quarter of a century, he came well
prepared to the bench. Perfectly familiar with
the well-settled principles of common law,
equity and criminal jurisprudence; versed in
the civil law, (from which so much has boen
borrowed in building up other systems ;) and
long conversant with voluminous authorities
regulating the application of those principles,
under varying circumstances, he was both
prompt and accurate in his judgments.
In that first, most essential requisite of judi
cial character, integrity incorruptible—unap
proachable, he was above question. With him,
indeed, the love of justice was a passion. If
ever he yielded reluctant obedience to the law,
If. was when its concrete strictness restrained
h>ni hi dispensing equity and justice in the
abstract. Yet lie was too wise and too con
scientious ever to ignore any well-defined rule
of civil conduct. But why attempt to delineate
a judicial character so broadly known—so gen
erally appreciated ? The records of this Court
whose reports pervade the country in its length
and breadth, arc replete with credentials that
will perpetuate liis fame.
Chief Justice Lumpkin’s love of law as a
science had still another development. Whilst
engaged in an extensive and urduons practice,
he usually had a class of students, and after his'
accession to the bench, he was called to the law
professorship in our University, which he filled
vvil.li distinction to the end of his days. Many
distinguished members of the profession, and
many more rising young lawyers of Georgia
and the adjoining States, are proud to claim
4(
i '
him as their Gamaliel. He enjoyed, moreover,
tlie peculiar gratification (for such it was) of
having, for a time, as an associate on this bench,
one of Ixie own pupils—thus gathering in the
efficient aid of this esteemed coadjutor, bread
himself had cast upon the waters many years
before.
In tlie private aud social relations, where the
greater virtues and warmer affections tind scope
—where tlie guiding mind and loving heart ex
ert control without tlie sanction of law, Chief
Justice Lumpkin’s position assumed the patri
archal type.
He was a husband and the hither of many
children. Would to God tlie sympathy of the
brotherhood here assembled and represented
could minister consolation to the survivors of
that desolated household ! With profound re
spect, we tender the offering, and intrude no
lul l her on the saeredness of family sorrow.
Within tlie limits of Georgia, wherever he ap
peared, numerous friends rose up to welcome
him. III! was a man, to know whom was to
love him. None turned acquaintanceship to
I >etter account, for mutual enjoyment or ad
vantage. He had for all a pleasant look ot re
cognition and a friendly greeting, and for many
a needed word of counsel. Having acquired
large stores of knowledge from books, and
from intercourse with men, his conversation
was instructive, his companionship genial. 11c
enjoyed and freely promoted, in social con
verse, that chastened mirth which, while it lilts
from tin! heart the burden of care, inflicts no
sling and instils no poison.
The benevolence and charity of the Chief
Justice were manifested as well by personal 1
acts as in associated enterprises. His hand waa 1
in all concerted movements for tlie dissemina
tion of knowledge, the improvement of public
morals, or the relief of suffering poverty. Few
luve contributed as much of persevering effort,
or the positive influence to the temperance re
form, which, for many years, so palpably di
minished the greatest moial pestilence of the
age.
Tints far, in an imperfect sketch of a pure aud
elevated character, wc have presented it as built
up and moulded by a system of severe morality.
But tlie most rigid and searching code of human
el.liics necessarily falls short of producing the
highest type of man, because it is, itself, tlie
work of man, in iiis fallen estate. Divinity alone
can restore to him even the semblance of its
own last, image.
Chief Justice Lumpkin was of a nature too
earnest too li,r igaplii'lg—fjOt Iff bethink him
self of the wonderful dispensation which brings
human nature under tlie renewing influence ut
that Divinity, beginning with regeneration, and
effecting a change in the aspirations, the
motives, thi! ends and aims of tlie subject.
To tins scheme of redemption, quite above
human invention, our departed brother in good
faith, and with resolute purpose, made an early
surrender of fdrnscjt. He became a sincere,
devoted Christian, ai)d thus attained tlie highest'
standard of earthly excellence. He was a pillar
in that branch of tlie Christian church which
rejoiced in his membership. Not ouly was ids
a life ot active usefulness, lint from its quiet
and tranquil aspects there were daily emana
tions of salutary influence.
The pomifiittee recommend the adoption ol
the following rcsoltitipus;
Resolved , That in the death of Chief Justice
Lumpkin we recognize the loss of a most
worthy citizen, a Christian gentleman, and an
eminent jurist, whose memory and example we
would perpetuate ,to tlie end, that his “ good
deeds may live alter him,” and the leaven of
Ills life go down from generation to generation.
Resolved , That we respectfully tender to his
bereaved widow and children the heartfelt sym
pathy qf thp begeh and bar and officers of the
Supreme 'Court of whose reverence
and affection lie sq well tjegervpq 41)4 8 P long
enjoyed,
Resolved, That iu token of these, we will,
during thirty days, wear lor him the usual
badge of mourning.
Resolved , That the clerk of lias court be re
quested to prepare and keep open lor members
ol the bar a subscription paper, that they all
mqy liqve the privilege of contributing to a fund i
for raising over the remains pf oqr vqperiited I
first Chief Justice, an appropriate monument.
And further, that tlie Judges of this Court be
requested, through sucli committee or commit- 1
tecs as they may think proper to appoint, to
ask of lii» widow and family permission to pay :
this tribute to ids memory, and to see that it be i
(I'litiitJ in to effect.
Resolved, That a copy of this report and
resolutions be transmitted to Mrs. Lumpkin,
for tlie lainlly ; that the Court be requested to
have them entered on its minutes, and that tlie
gazettes ot the State be requested to publish
them-
Alter reading tho report, governor Jenkins
briefly alluded to the friendly relations wuich
had lor a long time existed between himself
and Judge Lumpkin. He expressed great sor
row, as a Georgian, desiring the weal of his
State, lor the loss of so good and so great a
man. l{e then read tlie following letter from
(lie lion. John a. jjampbell, late Associate
Justice of tlie Supreme Court of the United
States, aud asked that it be considered with the '
report :
LETTER FROM IION. JOHN A. CAMPBELL.
New Orleans, June 14,1867.
My Dear Sir : I have just fepeived tlie mel
ancholy intelligence of tlie death of Chief Jus
tice Lumpkin, and of tlie proceedings of the
bar of Maeon upon that event.
An intimate and affectionate connect ion with
this great and good man, by the bonds of an
inherited friendship, and the recollection of
many expressions Rom him during its continu- 1
unee, impel me to share with my professional 1
brethren of mv native State in expression of '
their sorrow, and to testify my sense of his
eminent worth.
lie laid all the qualities to make him worthy
of the station he so Jqng and so honorably
filled. To extensive learning aud a clear dis
cernment of truth, he united an ardent love of
justice, a hatred to iniquity, a compassionate
sense of the infirmities of our humanity, au
abhorrence of oppression, and a rational detes
tation ol the oppressor. These qualified him
to administer justice between man and man, i
and Lo form Of a State. i
lie had no ambition above and beyond his ]
place. Ho was content witli the possession of i
virtue, and with tluit independence which en
abled him to perform his duty withontfear aud i
without partiality. i
in tlie walk of life ffe recognized the pro- ,
senee, or rather the omnipresence of law ; iu
domestic and social life, the law of charity ; ill
tlie church, of hope and faith ; iu the Stale aud
its tribunals, of justice. His life was the maui
feslatiou oi these.
fa this period of the geueral relaxation of <
these laws, the loss of this great exemplar and i
exponent of them is a public calamity. i
Very respectfully, yours, t
John A. Campbell. j
Col. Washington Poe, Macon, Ga.
His Honor Chief Justice Warner responded
with emotional sorrow to the formal announce
ment made by the committees of the death of
Chief Justice Lumpkin. As an associate, upon
the organization of this court, he testified to
the wisdom, the integrity, and tlie goodness of
our late Chiel Justice, and eonpurred iu the re
commendations of tue committee.
His Honor Judge Harris also responded to
the report of the committee with an earnestness
characteristic. The personal relations which
existed for near forty years of unbroken friend
ship, forbid his commenting upon the social
ancl domestic relations of Judge Lumpkin, yet
lie felt impelled to give some expression of his
gratitude and lo bring to his tomb some me
morial of affection. He spoke in extenso of
Judge Lumpkin as an advocate aud as a judge,
and heartily endorsed the recommendations of
the com mitten.
Nothing further lining submitted, the Court,
in honor of Chief Justice Lumpkin, adjourned
until to-morrow morning.

. NEWS OF THE CAPTURE OF SANTA ANNA BY
THE LIBERALS CONFIRMED.
I
Philadelphia, June 22.—The steamer Hen
drik Hudson, which arrived from Havana,
' brings the following information,obtained from
! Mr. E. Gottlieb, Aid-de-Camp and interpreter
i to Ger.. Santa Anna, passenger by tlie Virginia,
from Vera Uruz to Havana: Tlie Virginia left
1 Vera Cruz on the Sth and Sisal on the 12th.—
When tho Virginia touched at Sisal the steam
' er was soon after surroutuled by Liberal tioats,
demanding the surrender of Gen. Santa Anna.
Capt. Deakin refused, and was threatened with
violence, when, being unprotected, as there
! was no American man-of-war, he protested,
and only gave him up when about getting
ready to fire into the Virginia. So ends his
eventful trip, which will be the meats of an
international claim on the part of the United
States.
THE REPORTED EXECUTION OF SANTA ANNA—
THE SIEGE OF VERA «RUZ.
Havana, June 11—Tlie captain of tlie steam
er Virginia lias been closeted with our Consul,
Mr. Savage, concerning tlie affair at Sisal, viz :
the taking out by force of Gen. A. L. de Santa
Anna. It is said that Santa Anna sent a pro
clamation on shore to create a pronuuciamen
to in liis favor, and this was the cause of the
Liberals’ action.
Tho French steamer France, from Vera Cruz,
arrived here this morning. Tlie city lias not
surrendered. On the contrary, Gen. Faboada
avowed his firm intention to resist to the last,
stating that, taking it for granted that the Em
peror had given himself up, it was no cause for
them to give up. Great indignation was felt at
the measures taken by the commanders of for
eign fleets to prevent the landing of Gen. Santa
Anna. There was a great scarcity of the neces
saries of life, but tlie people's palate, however, .
seems to be as delicate as ever. The Common
Council ordered 100 ceroons of jerked beef to
lie shipped from Havana, and it lias been re
turned by tlie French bark Montevideo, having
been pronounced unpalatable. The mail car- -
rier for the interior, regularly dispatched by I
tlie American Consul, went out on the 12th ’
inst., and had to return to tlie city, not being *
allowed to proceed on his way.

THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY FOR
IRREGULA RITIES.
I hare tested these Drops in my own practice, over ten
years, and so not hesitate to say, that nothing has yet
been devebped by medical research that acts so power
fully, positively, and harmlessly, in cases of female irre
gularity as docs this medicine. In all recent cases it
never Ails, while thousands who have been long suHerers
are iidebted to it for the boon of health to-day.
A.t hough so powerful aud positive, they are perfectly
hsrmleKS, and may be used at all times, except when
.pecially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by eminent phy
sicians in France and England, as well as in my own
practice, over ten years, and I have yet to hear of the
first instance of failure. 1 could give you testimonials of
the efficacy from ladies all over the Northern aud West
ern Slates, were they not in their nature private. Over
*10,0(10 bottles have been Bold the past year, and I hope
and trust as many sufferers have been benetttted. lam
well aware that a remedy so potent to rmnove all obstruc
tions may be used for a bad purpose, but trust that where
one bottle is thus used, ten may tall into the hands of
really needy sufferers.
To all who sufferfrom any irregularity, painful, difficult,
excessive, offensive or obstructed Menstruation, Lucor
rhea, or the train of diseases that fidlow, 1 would say,
try a bottle of Dn. Lyon’s Khhnch Pbriodicai. Dbops.
Being a fluid preparation, their nction is more direst and
positive than any pills or powders. Explicit diiections,
bearing my sac simile, accompany each bottle.
