Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
| HAVE been saying a good deal through the
1 papers of late extolling JORDAN’S JOYOUS
JULEP as a most wonderful NEURALGIA CURE;
but for fear you may exclaim as Hhakspearo
when be said “You cram these words into mine
ear against the stomach of my sense,” I now sub
mit to you what persons say who have tried my
Neuralgia Julep, with the most complete and
satisfactory result:
Columbus, January 16,1875.
Mr.Jordan: —l take great pleasure in recoin*
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
bus produced a most wonderful relief in one oi
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had. She has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and ust'd all the usual remedies with little suc
cess. 1 can with much confidence hope lor a per
manent cure. It is only two days since we began
the use of it, and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Youth, with respect,
# MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
Petersburg, Va., Jan. 15, 1875.
Jnn. L. Jordan, Esq., Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Having learned through my friend
R. A. Bacon of your “J. J. J.” preparation for re
lief of neuralgia, and tested it with perfect suc
cess in my own family, in tho worst case, too,
that ever came under my observation, I now
enclose fifty cents for a second bottle, as I con
sider it too valuable a medicine to be without,
though I have no immediate use fur it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 6, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan: Dear Sir—Your Joyous Julep
for Neuralgia has been tried in my furuily. U.A
with the most happy result.and I find in it all you
claim for its virtue. And I unhesitatingly re
eommeml it to all who are suffering from Neural
gia us something a little remarkable in its cura
tive power. J. D. WORTHY.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 18,1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan —Your medicine, Joyous
Julep, is without an equal for Neuralgia. Having
been a great sufferer from the pain, and having
tried the prescriptions of many physicians, yet
all proved of no effect until I tried four doses
of your Julep, when I wus immediately relieved,
and have not been troubled since.
H. C. MADDOX.
Lake City, Fla., Nov. 4, 1874.
Dr. J. L. Jordan— Please send me another bot
tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. I have
never found anything equal to it for Neuralgia.
Two doses cured me almost instantly, and I can
safely recommend it to do what you say.
Very respectfully, Ac..,
JOHN M. JEFFHYS.
Fehnandina, Fla., April, 1874.
Dr. J. 1.. Jordan, Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Dir—lt affords me pleasure to add my tes
timony to the efficacy of your “Jordan’s Joyous
Julep," in giving instant relief in Neuralgia; and
to all appearance, us effective as instantaneous.
I was effected daily with Neuralgia, and since
taking a few teaspoonfuls of your relief, two or
more weeks have elapsed, and there are no indi
cations of return. I hope that the human fam
ily will raeeive a benefit commensurate with the
importance of your discovery, and that your
pecuniary reward will bo equal to its well de
served merits. Yours, respectfully,
MRS. L. DOZIER

THE SUN.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOB 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election gives
unusual importance to the events and develop
ments of 1875. We shall endeavor to describe
them fully, faithfully and fearlessly.
THE WEEKLY SUN has now attained a circula
tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers
are found in every State and Territory, and its
quality is well known to the public. Wc shall
not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old
standard, but to improve and add to its variety
and power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be a thor
ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be
found in it, condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, aud always, wo
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruct
ive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best
fuiuily newspaper in tho world. It will be full of
entertaining aud appropriate, reading of every
sort, but will print nothing to offend the most
scrupulous and delicate taste. It will always
contain tho most interesting stories and ro
mances of the day, carefully selected and legibly
printed.
Tlio Agricultural Department is a prominent
feature in the Weekly Sun, and its articles Will
always be found fresh and useful to tho farmer.
The number of men independent in politics is
increasing, and tho Weekly Sun is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending for principle, and for tbo
election of the best men. It exposes the corrup
tion that disgraces the country and threatens the
overthrow of republican institutions. It has no
f-ar of knaves, aud seeks no favors from their
supporters.
Tho markets of evory kind and the fashions
arc regularly reported.
The price ef tho WEEKLY HUN is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col
umns. As this barely pays the expeuses of paper
and printing, we are not able to make any dis
count or allow any premium to friends who may
make special efforts to extend its circulation.
Under the new law, which requires payment of
postage in advance, one dollar a year, with twenty
cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the
rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get
up a club in order to have tho Weekly Bun at this
rate. Any ono who sends ono dollar and twenty
cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year.
We have no traveling agents.
THE WEEKLY HUN—Eight pages, 56 columns.
Only $1.20 a year, postage prepaid. No discount
from this rate.
THE DAILY SUN—A large four-page newspaper
of twenty-eight columns. Daily circulation over
120,000. All the news for 2 cents. Subscription,
postage prepaid, 55 cents a month, or $6.60 a
year. To clubs of 10 or over, a discount of 20
per cent. Address
