POPPING TH E QUESTION.
jC [by AN OLD BACHELOR.]
' About twenty years ago, (I was not then so
bald as I am now,) I was spending the Midsum.
mer with mj r old friend and school fellow, Tom
Merton. Tom had married early in life, and
had a daughter, Mary Rose, who, to her “ fa
ther’s wit and mother’s beauty,” added her un
> cle Absalom’s good humor, and her aunt Debo.
rah’s notability. In her, you had the realiza
tion of all that the poets have sung about fairy
forms, dulcet voices, and witching eyes. She
was just such a being as you may imagine to
yourself in the heroine ol some beautiful ro
mance—Narcissa, in Roderick Random, for in
stance—or Sophia, in Tom Jones—or Fanny,
in Joseph Andrews—not the modern, lackadai
sical damsels of Colburn and Bentley. If she
had met the eye of Mark Anthony, Cleopatra
might have exerted her blandishments in vain ;
if Paris had but seen Mary Rose Merton, Troy
might have been standing to this day. Such
was the presiding divinity of the house where 1
was visiting. My heart was susceptible, and I fell
( in love. No man, I thought, had ever loved as
1 did—a common fancy among lovers ; and the
intensity of mv affection 1 believed would not
fail to secure a return. One cannot explain
the secret, but those who have felt ihe influence,
will know how to judge of my feelings. 1 was
as completely over head and ears as mortal
could be : 1 loved with that entire devotion that
-r makes fillial piety and brotherly affection sneak
to a corner of man’s heart, and leave it to the
undisputed sovereignty of feminine beauty.
The blindness incidental to my passion, and
, the young lady’s uniform kindness, led me to
believe that the possibility of her becoming my
wife was by no means so remote as at first it
had appeared to be ; and, having spent several
sleepless nights in examining the subject on all
sides, I determined to make her an offer ol my
hand, and to bear the result, pro or con,with at!
■due philosophy. For more than a week I was
disappointed in an opportunity of speaking alone
with my adored, notwithstanding I had fro
<[uently left the dinner table prematurely with
that view, and several times excused myself
from excursions which had been planned for my
especial amusement.
At length the favorable moment seemed to be
at hand. A charity sermon was to be preached
t by the bishop, for the benefit of a Sunday
school, and as Mr. Merton was churchwarden,
and destined to hold one of the plates, it became
imperative on bis iamily to be present on the
t occasion. I, ot course, proffered my services,
and it was arranged that we should set off early
next morning, to secure good seats in the centre
aisle. I could hardly close my eyes that night
for thinking how I should “ Pop the Question
and when I did get a short slumber, was waked
on a sudden by some one starting from behind a
hedge, just as I was disclosing the soft secret.
■Sometimes, when I had fancied myself sitting
by the lovely Mary in a bower of jassamine and
roses, and had just concluded a beautiful rhapso
<ly about loves and doves, myrtles and turtles,
) ] raised my blushing head, and found myself
' tete-a-tete with her papa. At another moment,
% she would slip a beautiful, pink, hot.pressed
billet-doux into my band, which, when I unfold
ed it, would :urn out to be a challenge from some
favored lover, desiring the satisfaction of meet
in" me at half past six in the morning, and so
forth, and concluding, as usual, with an indirect
* allusion to a horsewhip. Morning dreams, they
say, always come true. It’s a gross falsehood
mine never come true. But 1 had a pleasant
vision that morning, and recollecting the gos.
sip’s tale, 1 fondly hoped it would ba verified.
Methought 1 had ventured to “pop the ques
tion” to my Dulcinea, and was accepted. I
jumped out of bed in a tremor. “ Yes,” I cried,
u I t pill pop the question; ere this night cap
envelope this unhappy head, the trial shall
be made !” and I shaved, and brushed my hail*
over the bald place on my crown, and tied my
cravat with unprecedented care ; and made my
appearance in the breakfast parlor just as the
servant maid bad begun to dust the chairs and
tables.
■Poor servant maid ! I exclaimed to myself—
for I felt very Stern-ish —was it ever thy lot to
have the question popped into thy sophisticated
ear? May hap, even now, as thou dustestthe
mahogany chairs, and rubbest down the legs
of the rosewood tables, pangs of unrequited af
faction agitate thy tender bosom, or doubts of a
lover’s faith are preyingupon thy maiden heart!
I can fancy thee, fair domestic, standing in that
neat dress thou wearest now —a gown of dark
blue with a little white sprig, a pron ot criss
cross, (housemaids were not above checked ap
rons in those days,) and black cotton stockings
that identical duster, perhaps, waving in thy
rubv hand —I can fancy thee, thus standing,
sweet help, with thy lover at thy feet —he all
hope and protestation, thou all fear and besita
tjon —his face glowing with affection, thine suf
fused with blushes—his eyes beaming with
✓ smiles, thine gushing with tears—love tears,
that fall, drop—drop—slowly at first, like the
. first drops of a thunder-storm, increasing in their
flow, even as that storm increased, till finding it
no longer possible to dissemble thy weeping, thou
raisest the duster to thy cheeks, and smearest
( ’ them with it pulverized impurities. But Love
knows best how to bring about his desires ; that
little incident, simple—nay, silly as it may seem.
has more quickly matured the project than hours
of sentiment could have done for the begrimed
countenance of the maiden sets both the lovers
a laughing— she is anxious to run away, to wash
“ the filth)' witness” from her face— he will not
suffer her to depart without a promise, a word
of hope—she falters forth the soft syllables of
consent —and the terrible task of “popping the
question” is over.
Breakfast time at length arrived. But I shall
pass over the blunders I committed during its
progress ; how I salted Mary Rose’s muffin in
stead of my own, poured the cream into the,
sugar bagtn, and took a biteat the tea pot lid
“ Pop the question” haunted me continually, and
I feared to speak, even on the most ordinary
topics, lest I should in some way betray myself.
Pop—pop—pop ! every tiling seemed to go off
with a pop: and when at length Mr. Merton
hinted to Mary and her mother that it was time
for them to pop on their bonnets, I thought he
laid a particular stress on the horrible monsyl
lable, and almost expected him to accuse me of
some sinister design upon his daughter. It pass
ed off, however, and we set out for the church.
Mary Rose leaned upon my arm, and complain,
ed how dull I was. I, of course, protested a
gainst it, and tried to rally ; vivacity, indeed,
was one of my characteristics, and I was just
beginning to make myself extremely agreeabi« f
when a little urchin, in the thick gloom of a
dark entry, let off a pop gun close to my ear.
The sound, simple as it may seem, made me
start as if a ghost had stood before me, and
when Mary observed that 1 “ was very nervous
this morning,” I felt as if I could have throttled
the lad ; and inwardly cursed the inventor of
pop-guns, and doomed him to the lowest pit of
Acheron.
I strove against my fate, however, and made
several observati ns. “ Look,” cried Mary
Rose, as we gained the end of the street, “ what
a beautiful child !” I turned my head, to the
window, when the first object that met my eyes
was a square blue paper, edged with yellow, on
. which was written in too, too legible characters,
“ Pop.” I believe I was surprised into an ex
clamation stronger Uian the occasion would
seem to warrant, and the poor child came in for
a share of my anathema. I didn’t intend it,
however, for 1 am very fond of children ; but it
served Mary Rose to scold me about till we came
to the church door ; and, if possible, bewildered
me more than ever. We had now arrived in the
middle aisle, when my fair companion whispered
me —“ My dear Mr. , won’t you take off
your hat?” This was only a prelude to still
greater blunders. I posted myself at the head
of the seat, sang part of the hundredth psalm
while the organist was playing the symphony,
sat down when I should have stood up, knelt
when I ought to have been standing, and jitsTat
the end of the creed, found myself pointed.due
west, the gaze and wonder of the whole congre
gation.
The sermon at length commenced; and the
quietness that ensued, broken only by the pe
rambulations of the beadle and sub-schoolmaster,
and the collision ever and anon ot their official
wands with the heads of refractory students,
guiltv of the enormous crime of gaping or twirl
ing their thumbs, gave me an opportunity of
collecting my scattered thoughts. Just as the
rest of the congregation were going to sleep, I
began to awake from my mental lethargy ; and
by the time the worthy prelate had discussed
three or four heads of his text, felt myself com
potent to make a speech in parliament. Just at
this moment, too, a thought struck me, as beau
tiful as it was sudden—a plan by which I might
make the desired lender of my person, and dis
play an abundant share ol wit into the bargain.
To this end I seized Mary Rose’s prayer book,
and turning over the pages till I came to matri
mony, marked the passage, “ \\ ilt thou have
this man to thy wedded nusband ?” with two
emphatic dashes; and pointing significantly and
confidently to myself, handed it to her with a
bow. She took it!—she read it!! —she smiled !!!
Was it a smile of assent ? O how my heart beat
in my bosom at that instant—so loud, that I
feared the people around us might hear its pal
pitations; and looked at them to see if they no
ticed me. She turned over a few leaves —she
took my pencil, which I had purposely enclosed
in the book —and she marked a passage. Oye
gods and demigods! what were my sensations
at that moment! not Jove himself, when he went
swan-hopping to the lovely Leda—nor Pluto,
when he perpetrated the abduction of the beau
tiful Proserpine, could have experienced a grea
ter turmoil of passions than 1 at that moment.
1 felt the score—felt it as if it had been made
across my very heart; and I grasped the book—
and 1 squeezed the baud that presented it; and
opening the page tremblingly, and holding the
volume close to my eyes, (for the type was
small, and my sight not quite so good as it used
to be,) I read—o Mary Rose! O Mary Rose '
that I should live to relate it!—“A woman mys

THE INDIAN’S PANACEA,
the cure of Rheumatism, Scrofula or King’s I
Evil, Gout, Sciatica or Hip-Gout, Incipient Can
cers, Sa.t Rheum, Syphilitic and Mercurial diseases,
particularly Ulcer and painful affections of the bones;
Ulcerated Throat and Nostrils; Ulcers of every descrip
tion, Fever Sores, and Internal Abscesses ; Fistulas,
Piles, Scald Head, Scurvy, Biles, Chronic Sore Eyes,
Erysipelas, Blotches, and every variety of Cutaneous Af
fection ; Chronic Catarrh, Headach, proceeding from an
‘'acrid humor; Pain in the Stomach and Dyspepsia, pro
ceeding from vitiation ; Affections of the Liver, Chronic
Inflammation ofthe Kidneys, and general debility, caused
by a tcrp il action of the vessels of the skin. It is sin
gularly efficacious in renovating those constitutions
which hate been broken down by injudicious treatment,
or juvenile irregularities. In general terms, it is recom
mended it all those diseases which arise from impuri
ties in tb« blood, or vitiation of the humors, of whatever
name or kind.
Some as die above complaints may require some trifling
assistant tpplications, which the circumstances of the
case will dictate ; but for a general remedy or Purifica
tor, to remove the causes, The Indian’s Panacea will
generally be found sufficient.
TO THE PUBLIC.
How true it is, that modern Physicians, in their ambi
tion to excel in their profession ; to explore the vast fields
of science by the aid of chemistry, and seek out new re
medial agents, in short to arrive at perfection in their
practice by means of art alone, —entirely overlook and
neglect, as beneath their notice, the rich and bounteous
stores of medicine, which the Almighty has caused to
spring out of the earth in every clime! And how much
more true it is, that while the American Physician looks
to foreign countries for many of his most common and ne
cessary articles, perpetually changing as they are, at the
dictate of fashion or folly, he is surrounded in his own
country with an endless profusion of medical plants,
sufficient to answer any indication in disease, or to cure
any curable disorder :—and yet he is ignorant of their
virtues, anil they are suffered to “ waste their healing on
the desertair.”
The eflfccts of vegetable medicines upon the system
are tetmioßiry—those of minerals lasting. The former
exert thei| effects and pass off—the latter, mercury in
particulgHpct chemically upon the solids, decomposing
the undermining the constitution by a slow
and spfe^stfuction.
Th iffyjigenialily, efficiency and safety of vegetable
remedies over mineral, may be estimated by contrasting
the ancient practice with the modern; or, to bring it more
immediately under our own observation, the Indian prac
tice wto/; that ofthe whites. Who, in America, has not
knowi»Q| beard of repeated instances wherein some de
crepid, Tinpretending female Indian, by means of her
simple remedies alone, has effected the most rapid and
astonishing cures, after the whole Materia Medina ot
the common practice, directed in the most skilful man
ner, has failed ? And who has not been surprised at
beholding the comparative ease and facility w'ith which
the Indian frees himself from any disease, and at the
almost total absence of chronic diseases among them ?
Who Mias ever heard of an Indian with a constitution
broken and ruined by ill treatment ? And can a doubt
exist, that this happy exemption of the savage from most
of the ills which the flesh of civilized man is heir to, is
chiefly owing to the more genial and safe remedies which
he employs? This astonishing difference in success, is
a fair exemplification of the infinite superiority of the
simple and safe means of cure which God has created
for the benefit of his children, over those which the
pride ifhd the art of man have invented.
From a long residence among a portion of the abori
ginal inhabitants of this country, and an intimate ac
quaintance with the methods of cure of some of their
most successful practitioners, the proprietor of “The
Indian’s Panacea,” acquired a knowledge of some ot
their most powerful and favorite remedies. From these
he selected such as were most efficacious and appropri
ate, and after various experiments to test their principles
and strength, he has combined them in the form here
presented, as the most perfect and beneficial for the pur
pose for which it is recommended.
The proprietor offers this preparation to the public,
with' the consciousness that he is placing within its reach,
a remedy capable of relieving many of his afflicted fallow
beings who are suffering under the various chronic and
obstinate complaints to which it is applicable. To*such
it will prove of incalculable value, as the means, and in
many cases the only means of relieving their sufferings,
and restoring them once more to health and happiness,
This is not offered as a common remedy, that may per
chance be equally good with many others now in use,
but as one which is capable of saving life in many ex
.treme cases, when all the usual remedies fail. This it
has done repeatedly ; and this is the reputation it has ob.
tamed wherever it has bee» introduced.
It is only about three years since this preparation was
first presented to the public: but in that sho:rt space of
time, somfe hundreds of persons might be found, who
would solemnly declare that they believed that their lives
weresavep oy it, and in most cases after they had tried
many and all the common remedies in vain.
Wherever* it is known it-is rapidly coming into use, and
this affords the most substantial and convincing proof oi
its merits.
The value of the Panacea is most conspicuous in those
long starring and obstinate syphilitic and scrofulous
affections have defied all other reined ies, and par
ticularly ijthose cases where mercury has been so lav
islily usedlas to cause distressing pains in the bones, no
des, merctirial ulcers, derangement of the digestive or
gans, &c/ These it completely removes. :jnd in all ca
ses it entirely eradicates the disease and the effects of
mercury, renovates the constitution, and leaves the pa
tient sound and well. In Rheumatisms and in ulcerated
sore throat, its happy effects are not less apparent, giving
almost immediate, relief.
Taken in proper doses, The Indian’s Panacea ope
rates as an alterative and detergent; a diaphoretic, diu
retic and laxative; an antispasrnodic and anodyne; and in
proper cases, as a stomachic and emmenagogue. Gen
erally expressed, it increases all the secretions and ex
cretion, gives tone to the stomach, and excites action in
the glands in a particular manner. From these princi
ples its operation may be understood.
This medicine has been found highly useful in many
ambiguous diseases not here specified, and it has been
used with wonderful success as a Spring and Fall puri
fier, by those who are subject to complaints of the chest,
and whose constitutions require new vigor. Such per
•ons will do well to use two or three bottles in small
doses. Whenever a diet drink is considered necessary,
this Panacea, taken in a small dose, will answer alt its
purposes, in much less time, at less expense, and in a
far more agreeable manner, than the common diet drink.
The following certificates, out of hundreds similar
which might be procured, are given to show the effect of
The Indian’s Panacea, in the various complaints therein
mentioned ; and also to exhibit in the most satisfactory
manner its superiority over the syrups in common use.
CASES OF RHEUMATISM.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 15. 1831.
During the last winter and spring, I was afflicted with
a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occasioned
by exposure in bad weather. I now take great plea
sure in stating, that six battles of the Indian's Panacea,
restored me to perfect health, and I confidently recom
mend it to all similarly afflicted.
JOHN FERGUSON, King-st.
CHARLESTON, March 27,1832.
I was seized, about three years since, with a distres
sing Rheumatism, caused by taking a severe cold while
under the {influence of mercury, and which has disabled
me from Business nearly ever since. During this peri
od I have,been a patient in the Marine Hospital in this
city, upwards of four months, and nearly the same length
of time in the Baltimore Hospital, and tried almost every
remedy, with little benefit. On the 16th of February
last, at that time scarcely able to move about upon crut
ches, I commenced the use of The Indian's Panacea.
In one month I found myself entirely free from pain,
and am now happy to state that I consider myself per
fectly well. WM. TUCKER, 13 Market-st.
CASE OF SCROFULOUS ULCERS.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 10, 1830.
This may certify, that in the fall of 1825,1 was seiz
ed by a spelling in my neck and face, which afterwards
ulcerated and became large gastly ulcers in my neck.
After trying several physicians to no advantage, I went,
to Philadelphia, and placed myself under the care of
Drs. Physic and Beach, whan, after repeated aaliva*io«B
gwMianrn —T’IT-inaw ■■ m mmasßxvaaacmxmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmmmm i
Ito no effect, I was pronounced totally incurable. After,
wards I look twenty bottles of Swairn's Panacea, and
right bottles of Putter's Catholicon, with no material
benefit. Despairing oflife, which had now become a
burden to me, I returned to my parents in New. York,
and gave myself up to a lingering death. Hearing of Ihe
success of The Indian's Panacea, however, in cases si
milar to my own, I was persuaded to try it as a last re
sort. To my great surprise, as well as satisfaction, I
soon found myself rapidly recovering, and upon taking
seven bottles, the ulcers healed and I became perfectly
well in the course of two months, and have remained s«
ever since. I make this statement and wish it published
for the benefit of those who are suffering under similar
scrofulous or syphilitic affections, that they may knew
what has cured one who has suffered every thing bit
death, and who considers his life saved bv the above
syrup. WM. HINMAN.
CHARLESTON, July 12, 1831.
I was affected four years with an ulcer in the leg, oc
casionally accompanied with erysipelatous inflammation
and excessive pain in the leg and ankle joint. Several
eminent Physicians exerted their skill upon it, but with,
out permanent benefit. In this state five buttles of the
Indian's Panacea, made a perfect cure.

nSYHE following statement of a remarkable cure, hav.
JS. mg been voluntarily made and sent to the proprietor
of Potter’s Catholicon, the same is respectfully submit,
ted to the afflicted, and the Public in general, for their
consideration, without further comment.
To Mr. Thomas E. Potter, agent for Mrs. H. Potter,
widow of Mr. William IY. Potter, No. 216 Market
street :
Sir:—ln compliance with your request I will state as
briefly as possible, the particulars of my disease, and the
unsuccessful efforts to effect a cure, and final restoration
to health. The suffering afflicted who peruse my state
ment, may perhaps, (under the dispensations ot Frovi
dence) be eventually benefited thereby.
About the middle of April, 1833, I was seized with
severe and not nnfrequently, excruciating pains in my
limbs, attended with burning and increased fever until
its violence eventually confined me to my bed, so that
a kind of mongrel complaint threatened the most
serious consequences. Respectable Physicians pro
nounced the same to have risen from impurity of ihe Wood,

my disease, my apprehensions were increased by nurner.
ous excrescences, of uncommon size and virulence, brea
king out on my left thigh and back ; my eyes became in
lamed, and the pains in my limbs, if possible, more in
tense; tny strength was completely prostrated; and snch,
in short, was my suffering condition, that Death itself
would have been as welcome as the precursor ofimme
diate relief. In this situation I remained for some
months; the victim of medical experiments and their
had effects, resorted to, in vain, to effect a cure. My
eyes were inflamed—the sight of one of them became
contracted, and I was incapable of seeing any object.
In this hopeless state, and yet irresolute, I thought of
discharging ray Physician, and resigning myself to fate,
and permitting the disease to take its own course;
when a friend, by constant importunities (resisted by
me for some time, doubting its efficacy) strongly ad
vised and finally prevailed upon me to make use ofyour
medicine, as a harmless experiment that might be pro
ductive of much good. Under these circumstances I
applied to you ; since which, with the use of a few bottles
of your invaluable Catholicon, and the outward applica
tion of your Eye Water, I have regained my wonted
strength, healthful appearance, the sight of one of my
eyes, and partially of the other, and my appetite. I am
nowin the enjoyment of complete health, with the slight
exception above alluded to—the loss of one eye may, or
may not prove to be permanent; and if it should, I shall
ascribe; the misfortune to former injudicious treatment
—to the use of mercury with which my system has been
surcharged—to injurious outward and internal applica
tions prescribed by my Physicican—the effects of which
exhibited themselves, perhaps, too late to be remedied.
I therefore attribute the recovery of my health to the use
of your medicine alone—the advice and the medicine of
others had tailed, and that it has bean the means of res
cuing me from the grave. I esteem it as a most potent
corrective of those derangements to which all physical
constitutions are more or less liable, in #ie spring and
fall seasons ofthe year. I take pleasure in recommend,
ing it to others; and you, sir, are at liberty to make what
use of this statement, which I cordially give, that you
please HENRY BROOKS.

TO THE PUBLIC.
INDIAN VEGETABLE ELIXIR.
meditin e, which has of' late year*
-R- excited so much attenti on in Europe, has recently
made its appearance in this .country, and with no Ie»B
claim to the title of a specific (or the cure of those excru
ciating complaints. Rheumatism, Gout and pain in the
Bones, Joints, and whether from the too free use ol
mercury or other causes. ?o effectual has the vegeta
ble Indian Elixir proved in afl those cases in which it is re
commended, that the propri ;tor feels authorised to state,
it will effect a cure in ninety coses out of a hundred when
taken according to the printed directions accompanying
each Bottle. The Elixir is composed entirely of Veget
able ingredients, and may b taken without the least risk
of injury to the constitution. It is unnecessary to say
more in favor of this invaluable Remedy ; too many in this
community have already been cured by it for its virtues
long to remain unknown, and it must and will become
the universal resort of th e afflicted here, as it has done in
other places. For the further satisfaction of those who
may feel disposed to doubt the efficacy ofthis medicine,
the following Certificates are submitted.
This is to certify that the subscriber having been for
sometime afflicted with the Rheumatism very severely,
from whv.chhe could get no relief, until being advised to
procure Home of Dr. Fitch’s INDIAN VEGETABLE
ELIXIR, which he accordingly did, and from which a£.
ter taking a few doses was entirely relieved.

Columbia, April 16th, 1832.
This is to certify that the subscriber had lieen for some
years, tormented with that most excruciating disease
chronic Rheumatism, and was advised in February last to
procure from Dr. Fitch some of his Indian Vegetable
Elixir. Accordingly I procured some of it, and to my
great surprise and still greater relief, it entirely removed
the complaint, after taking a few doses, and I have not
since had a return of it.

Edgefield, June 2d, 1832.
Mr. James Boatwright,
Dear Sir—Permit me to return you my sincere thanks
for your kind attention in delivering my letter to Dr.
Fitch for the five bottles of his Indian Vegetable ELIX
IR. It came safe to hand, and if you are a parent, you
can conceive of my joy, when I inform you that my son
who has for the last six months suffered every pain from
the Rheumatism which was possible for a human being
to bear, has been entirely cured by that Elixir. I had
mourned over him and had given him up to be a cripple
for life and all the fond expectations I had anticipated from
him appeared to be blasted forever. But now to see him
walking about free from pain, and daily gaining strength,
gives me more pleasure than I can express. Several of
my neighbors nave experienced immediate relief. In
only one instance have I known it to fail, and that was a
most hopeless one ; still he thinks he has experienced
benefit enough from it to induce him to persevere longer
in the use of if, as he lias not yet given it a sufficiently
fair trial. If this communication can be of any service
to my fellow beings I freely give my consent that you
should make such use of it as you think conducive to
that end. I remain ever your much obliged friend,

1 Certify that my son Thomas Mitchell, jr. aged 15
years, has been troubled for Eight years last past
with the Rheumatism, and for the last three years has
been unable to help himself; his pain was very severe,
so that he could not be moved without great agony :
his limbs were paralyzed and drawn nr* and he presented
an object hopeless to all that knew him. I resorted to
several Physicians for relief for him. without effect.
Having heard of Dr. A. Fitch’s Indian Vegetable Elix
ir, I piocured the same for my son, on taking it, he was
much relieved and by continuing it to the fourth bottle,
has entirely removed the pain, his flesh is restored and
he is now enjoying good health. I would in all cases
. of Rheumatism earnestly recommend it to those whe
are affected with this excruciating pain.

We being neighbors and acquaintances of Mr. Tho
mas Mitchell, and having often seen the situation of hir
son, fully corroborate the above stated case, and, as w t
believe, has been cured by the Indian Vegetable Elixil,
