REMINIBOENOEH OK A CONSPICUOUS HKISEI HIS SIMPLICITY, PIETY, AND OIU.AT QUALITIES AS A SOLDIER PItAYINO WHILE HE FOUGHT. By tlie K*v. Flor.no. McCarthy, of Chie(to.J Sixteen years ago, when I was com menciiiK to preach, I was the pastor of the Baptist church in the village of Lexington, in the valley of Vir ginia. tlie seat of the Virginia Mili tary Institute, and what is now call ed Washington and Lee University. Major T. J. .Taeksou was, and for sev eral years lmd been, a professor in tlie military institute. What his de partment was l never knew, but hr was not the principal of the institu tion, and hv no means tlie most prominent teacher. 1 was not per sonalty acquainted with him, but lie was sometimes in my congregation. I saw him constantly, and I remem ber distinctly his reputation in the town about the time the war broke out and iiis marvellous career com menced. Most of tlie people at the North would be somewhat surprised to know what tlie personal appearance of this great man was. Jackson was about six feet tali, very lunkandlong-limb od. When ho walked it was with a long, methodical stride, and accompanied with a leisurely, pendulum-like sway ing of the arms. He wore a military cap, the visor of which nearly touch ed his nose, and his eyes seemed al ways iixed on the ground. When I knew him lie always wore short whis kers ami moustache, which conceal ed the lower part of his fare. But I remember distinctly meeting him one day on tlie first Bull liun battlefield, the day after the battle, and getting a view of his mouth. Tlie mouth is usually a great index of character; but any one would search Jackson’s mouth in vain for any sign of great ness. His lips wore thin and red, his upper lip short and the corners of his mouth upturned; th whole mouth expressing in a most unmis takable way a vast amount of sweet ness and gentleness, but. giving a hint of courage, endurance, perse verance, or any sort of genius. Jack son’s voice was like his mouth, very sort, kindly find inarticulate, some times like a faint jabber. His fore head, nose and chin were prominent, and eorrcs|H>nded more with his character. It is pretty safe to s.iv that while his uppearance and car riage were somewhat eccentric, iiis looks were entirely destitute of any thing dbtinguc, and that he passed for an ordinary-looking man. Tlie most prominent trait in Jack son’s character was ms MET*. He was a in 'luber of the Presbyte rian Church in the village, and was well known ns an humble, cons den tious, devoted, and consistent Chris tian man. He was not only a eon stunt attendant on preaching, but, a consecrated teacher of a class of ne gro ohi Idre u in tlie Sunday School, an ex hotter in the prayer meeting, aud a systematic and munificent giv er to every benevolent object. In illustration of this point it is related j that a day or two after the first bat tle of Bull Bun the whole village col lected al the stage stand in a storm of excitement, awaiting the news. When the stage arrived and the mail was opened it was announced that DR'vdrtW, the venerable pastor ofj ttie Presbyterian Church, Who was present, had received a letter from <ien. Jackson. The Doetor mounted the stand, arranged his spectacles, broke the envelope, aud proceeded! to read to the crowd the rnomeri ! tons document. It read somethingas | fellows : "Ileal Pastor We had a bat tle yesterday. Enclosed please find check for #1 in, being my subscrip tion missions now duo.” And the fer vent piety seemed to deepen during his life l'n the army. His hours of prayer while in the tented field were* observed with singular faithfulness. The old negro who was his body ser vant in tiie field declared (hat he could tell when there was going to be any heavy fighting by the constancy with which his master gave himself to his devotions. And Jackson’s humble faitli iu God shone forth the brightest in liis dying moment. For after receiving his death wound, when all about him were overwhelmed with grief, ho played the part of comforter, and constantly exclaimed, •■rt is all right ! it is all right !’’ It was said and believed in Jack son’s corps that the General was al- | wuy* ENGAGED IN TRAVEIt whenever he was fighting, and that, , us he rode along the lines in the ] leaden hail, his right hand was al ways raised hesoecliiugly to heaven. Tliis had a wonderfully inspiring ef fect ou his Virginians, who were all intensely religious men ;but, unfortu nately for poetry and romance, tlie impression was afterward discovered to he unrounded. Jackson, early in the war, had received a wound in the right hand, which I must not omit to say, pareuthetieally, he refused, Sidney-like, to let the surgeon dress until some private soldier had been waited ou. This wound always in terfered with tlie circulation of the blood in that hand, so that he felt more comfortable when it was held upright, as if he was under the influ ence of strong emotion. And as he was always ft sleepy looking man, and appeared all the time as if he i had the smoke of the camp fire in his - THE DAILY TIMES. •yes, it is case to see lunv natural it was for men to get the idea that lie was prating ail the time he was chasing Banks. But I lie point in which the public is tlie fmcheresr astnii concerning fuckspli is iiis intellect. Almost ■very one at the North who remem bers liis brilliant achievements takes it for grunted that he was a brilliant scholar. But the truth is, thm. Jackson was remarkable for his luck of what is called intellectual acumen. Ho graduated about third in his class .rom West Point, but It is universal ly conceded that it was the result ol Ids extraordinary determination and perseverance, and no brightness ol mind. He never cut any figure as a professor, and was generally regar ded as a very dull, obtuse sort of a person. I have heard a graduate ot the military institute ridiculing Jackson’s weakness as a teacher ot mathematics. He said he lmd known Jackson to pass as satisfactory a problem which one of the class had worked out on the blackboard, and afterward, ns the boys learned by PEERING THROUGH THE KEYHOLE, spend the whole afternoon trying to understand what was on the hoard himself, And yet, ou other accounts, Jack son was very much beloved by the cadets. He was extraordinarily kind mil gentle. The graduate ulmve re ferred to, told me thnt once he be came angry with Jackson in the class-room, and made some demon stration of hatred, and Unit Jackson’s only reply was in his faint, jabbering, but benevolent tone ot voice, "Now. now, Mr. Patton, do you just pul nil that hatred against your lesson in stead of against me. and you will have no difficulty.” The cadets were fond of him for his singular courage also. It was said that on one Occa sion a number of them mounted the barracks at the hour when Jackson had to walk under the eaves of the house, and dropped brickbats in front of him as he walked along, endeav oring to see hoiv near they could conic to his head without hitting it. As this trick was played at the im mediate risk of killing tlie innocent Professor, it would hardly be believ ed that the cadets would practice it, unless the reader was first informed that these cadets were generally reck less, riotous, irresponsible, and un scrupulous desperadoes. It is said that they succeeded admirably In making all the bricks graze Prof. Jackson’s nose. But to their utter surprise the Major did not look up, unr around, nor quicken iiis pace at all. He possessed such extraordinary nerve and determination that he treated the whole performance with icy contempt. From that time he was greatly admired and beloved for his physical courage. He was also remarkable for his punctuality. Al though a very solemn, taciturn, slug gish, and rather dignified man, he was often seen to strike a trot on the street when he was a minute behind time in going to meet ids class. One comical peculiarity of Jackson was his talent for going to sleep. When I lived iu Lexington it was a well-known fact that the Major, not withstanding his punctilious attend ance at church, had never heard Dr. White preach. About the time that the second hymn was sung lie invari ably went to "the land of nod, whence ho returned oplv when aroused by the last hymn. it. wus said that this habit was the effect of disease, and could not be help.-1. It followed him all through life, and I saw him yield to it once in the army. On one Sun day, somewhere in Eastern Virginia, I remember attending a preaching service in front of (fen. Jackson’s headquarters. The General sat, at the preacher’s right hand on a back less camp stool. As the sun was very hot and there was no shade, lie held his cap in his right, hand between liis head and the sun, liis reverence not permitting him to place it on liis head, as many others did theirs. With his hand elevated in that, way, ho peacefully glide i off into dream land and slept without, moving his arm or nodding once, until the noise of the olosing exercises startled him into eonsciousness again. The truth is, Gen. Jackson always looked as if he were asleep; and even when walk ing lie had the appearance of a som nambulist, Jasksou, while ho was a gentle, benevolent man, and an extremely urbane aud polite man, was also a very grave mail. And it was said in L'xington that tlie only time any one ever saw him laugh was when the war broke out. But this story was probably apocryphal, for I was in formed on "good authority that he ’viewed the commencement of hostil ities with grief and horror. He had seen service in Mexico, arid lie as sured the people of the village, who were boiling over with the war spirit, that they did not know whuf war was, or their rejoicing would be turn ed to wailing. It is a singular tiling in the retro spect that the Southern people were so well aware that, Jackson was A STUPID DONO* OF A FELLOW, that even his brilliant success did not entirely convince them that lie could he trusted. He was made a colonel, aud acquitted himself so handsome ly that they made him a brigadier: but the opinion of liis friends was that he was advanced too quickly, and that tie would prove a failure ; and the very same opinions were, re iterated wneti lie was made a major general and lieutenant-general. And, notwithstanding all the adoring ad miration with which the Southern people cherish iiis memory to-day, j they still thiol- he never could have taken Lee’s pin •. It is my opinion, however and J think his whole ca reer bears me in it—that lie would i have been far more successful as commander-in-chief than lie was as lieutenant-general, and more so by far than Lee was. His ability never j had a Held wide enough to exert it self in. Jackson’s military character was a very strong one, totally unlike that,j of any of tlio great generals of mod ern times. Its peculiarities lay in its simplicity. Jackson was never known to devise a complicated campaign, (fen. Lee’s plans consisted of a hun dred parts, and although they were concocted with consummate ability, some of them always broke down ori the day of battle. But Jackson’s strategy consisted simply in reaching some point before bis opponent had the slightest idea he could do it, and tiien fighting him with a good deal of dash. All his wonderful feats were accomplished by rapid marching, so that the rest of his army used to call his troops “Jackson’s foot cavalry.”: Arid it is a very singular fact thati although the Federal generals knew j that Jackson was as fleet as the wind, and were always making allow ances in their plans for his extraor dinary rapidity of movement, he con tinued to the day of his death to sitr- COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1875. prise them in the same way. When Lee was making ready to attack McClellan in front of Hielimoud, 1 was ill that devoted city ; aud l re member distinctly that when the citi zens thought that Jackson was in the lower valley, two or three hundred miles away, he was within sixteen miles of the city, aud the next day foil on McClellan's right like A THUNDERBOLT FROM A CLEAR SKY. Jackson’s peculiar mode of warfare by surprise was illustrated the very first time that he was intrusted with an independent coiumaud. Soon after the first battle of Bull Bun, when Jackson wus a Brigadier, Gen. Joe Johnson tint him iu command of ono or two brigades and sent him from Manassas Junction over the Blue Bulge, into the valley of Vir ginia, to hang around Winchester, chiefly as an army of observation, fackson no sooner reached Winches ter t)iatl he learned thiM Milroy with a large force was strongly intrenched it lVrryville, fifty miles oil. Con sidering that, in addition to his earth works, the weather was hitter cold, the roads deep, the ground covered with snow, and Jackson's men very poorly elftd, Milroy devoted himself entirely to playing euchre. But one morning he looked out of iiis tent and saw Stonewall Jackson’s men coming up the road. The result was that Milroy's army was chased into Maryland, Jackson pursuing them withtlie fixed determination of GOING TO WASHINGTON. But, Jeff Davis, who regarded him self as the only great General In the South, learning of Jackson's exploit, and inferring most assuredly that he was crazy, sent a hasty telegram to him to “come hack;” in answer to which it is said that, the indignant Stonewall sent him word to send him “more men and fewer orders.” In order to effect tlie surprise of Milroy, Jackson had marched and frozen a large number of ids men to death, and the rest of them reached Perryvillo in a pitiable condition of weakness and suffering. But this “crazy” General knew that if lie could only get them there uh soon as he wanted to, the mere sight of them would be enough to settle Mil roy’s hash, and that not so many of them would be killed by the forced march as would be killed ill tlie next spring if Milroy was not, humbled. This singular faculty of outmarch ing everybody was the key to Jack son’s success, but lie possessed sev eral groat traits of character,without which this would have been either impossible or of no use. Jackson was a man of iron constitution and super human powers of ondurauce. He was a remarkably punctual ruau. He was a rigid disciplinarian. He possessed a strong religious faith, aud In all his labors enjoyed the powerful support of his conscience. _ And thou ne was a person of conspicuous moral and physical courage. Though an ex tremely modest man, he is credited with having said of himself that, he really did not know what the feeling of fear was. And to this wonderful fearlessness ho at last fell a victim, in the Wilderness, by riding on horse back uwuy in front of his linos on a dark night in an unknown country, with a view of ascertaining, by get - ting himself shot, at, whore the en emy was. Bqr, these qualities, com bined with his humility in mixing with the private soldiers in their re ligious meetings, and his unostenta tious appearance, his dingy, sun burned, yellow-grey clothes, arid liis old POT-BELLIED, SORIIEL RIDING MARE, and especially ills successes, gave him at least such a hold on the confi dence and affection of iiis corps that he was utterly invincible, i That Jackson should have acquired tlie sobriquet “Stonewall” is one of the solecisms of the war. It, is said that it was given him at the first bat tle of Bull Bun, on account of tlie stubborn resistance he made jt*pt be fore tlie Federal stampede. And it is true that at the second battle of Bull Bun,while waiting for Loiigstreet, he made a still more heroic stand in the face of overwhelming numbers. But nothing could he a greater slander on Jackson than to call him a “stone wall. Loiigstreet was the real stone wall. For re-forming his lines after they had been crushed, and keeping his men up to the scratch after they had been licked all to pieces, Long street was tlie man. But Jackson scorned defensive warfare, and was so famous for being the attacking parly and for making unexpected as saults, that if lie lmd been called “Fugle,” or “Avalanche,” it would have been infinitely more appro priate. There are two anecdotes of Jackson that were current in Urn Southern army during his life time, which are very illustrative of Ids character and habits, and which, ns 1 have never seen them in print, I will narrate. The first shows how his punctual habits, without which it is safe to say he never could have been a great man, followed him from the military institutute to tiie field. It used to he said among the soldiers that on one occasion Jackson sent a message to one of his captains to meet him at headquarters at TEN MINUTES TO TWELVE O’CLOCK. At the appointed moment the Gen eral was seated in front, of his tent, ready for business. But twelve o’clock came, and the captain had not appeared. But tiie hour of noon was with Jackson the hour of prayer, and ho immediately withdrew into liis inner tent, where he remained in | seclusion for half an hour. When he : emerged again he found the delin j quent captain sitting meekly in front | of headquarters awaiting his return. | But Jackson was so disgusted with Ids unsoldierly dilatoriness that lie refused to tell him the object of the summons of have anything to say to j him, but with a gentle wave of the j hand dismissed him, crestfallen and disgraced, to his regiment. ! The other anecdote brings a very | different scene. Gen. Burnside, hav : ing very foolishly crossed the Rappa hannock river at Fredrieksburg,! where Lee was ensconced in impreg-, nagable natural fortifications, and having been dreadfully cut to pieces during tlie afternoon and evening, Lee called a council of war late in the night to determine what should be done to follow up liis advantage. Among the Major-Generals present was Jackson, who, as soon as he got a seat, was fast asleep, and remained so throughout the conference. \\ lien every one else had given iiis opinion, Jackson was, with some difficulty, waked up, and requested to say what lie thought had better be done with : the enemy, and the only words that j could be "extracted from him were ; i “Drive in river : drive ’em iu river: j after mumbling which he instantly I sank into a state of unoonciousness. : Nothing could be more characteristic !of the great captain than this inci- dent. The other Generals were full if marching and oounter-marohing, if combination and tricks, and he roin ventures ; Jackson had only one weapon surprise. He knew that Burnside’s men wore lying along the bank of tlie river in multitudes, in a terribly demoralized condition, and tliat|a idglit, attack would strike them with terror, and drive them like sheep Into the Rappahannock. He after ward explained that it was a part of Ills plan that the attack should be made in the darkest part of the night, with fixed bayonets, and that the Confederates, in order to avoid slaughtering each other, should strip themselves start naked. Truly tills wasmi original and startling project: but I have ueveryet seen anyone who doubted thnt, if it had been carried out, not a baker’s dozen of Burnside’s troops would have escape: 1. The admiration and love of the Southern army for Jackson wus 1 something wonderful. There never was a clearer case of hero-worship. He was regarded as a faultless man. and an invincible man ; and 1 suppose he could at any time hove got liis men to march out by platoons and lie shot, if it would have gratified him In the slightest degree- At his death the whole South was in tears, and not more for their irreparable loss than on account of their tender love fertile man. As regards Jackson’s relations with Leo and t ho ol her great Sent hern Gen erals, it was obvious to me that they felt toward each other like brothers, and never knew what the feeling of jealousy was. Leo was always thrust ing Jackson forward whenever any thing glorious was to lie done, and Jackson always showed the must sin cere sdmiration and respect for Lee's plans and orders. When victory perched on their banners, Leo hug ged Jackson ami told him the credit was all duo to him; then Jackson would declare that Lee was the man that deserved all the praise ; and then both of them would agree that to God belonged all the glory. WNMIHMIPPI. AMES TO PIEIIREPONT. Washington, Wept. 20.—The follow ing telegram from Gov. Ames to the Attorney-General, relating to affairs in Mississippi, was to-day made pub lic: Jackson, Miss., Sept. 11. Attorney-Pierrcpont, ll'iis/t- Unjlon , ]>. ('.; The necessity which called forth my dispatch of the nth instant to the President still exists. Your question of yesterday, repeated to-day, asks for information which I gladly give. The violence is incident to the politi cal contest preceding the pending election. Unfortunately the question of race, which lias been prominent in the Soutli since the war, has assumed magnified importance at this time in certain localities. In fact the race feeling is so intense that protection for tlie colored by white organiza tions is despaired of. A political con test made on the white line forbids it. j The history of the colored people j since reconstruction, and its bearing on the situation at this time, and a detailed statement of the trouble here, cannot be condensed in a tele gram. Tliis State lias been opposed to organizing a militia of colored men. It lias been believed by them that it would devclope a war of races which would extend beyond the bor ders of tins State. The organization of whites alone where tlie issue is one of race would be equally ineffectual. The most complete protection would bo found in the strict non-interfer ence of the whites. Contradictions will be numerous, so they were last winter, but the re port of the Congressional Oommitt.es proved the correctness of my asser tions. lam aware of the reluctance of the people of the country to na tional interference in State affairs, though if there bo no violation of the laws there can be no interference. Permit me to express the hope that the odium of sueii interference shall not attach to President Grant or I lie Republican party. As the Governor of the State I made a demand which cannot well be refused. Let the odium in all its .magnitude descend upon me. 1 cannot escape the con scious discharge of my duty towards a class of American citizens whoso crime consists in their color, and whom I am powerless to protect. [Signed] A DEI,BERT Ames. Attorney-General Pierrepont says that the letter to Governor Ames was intended to show that Federal troops would not he called out except in strict accordance with the constitu tion and laws, after the State had used its own resources, but that if the necessity was forced the Govern ment would indulge in no leniency towards lawless disturbers of the public lienee or murderers of inno cent men. nentrnrtlve Fire In tattle Itneß.

The water from the Gulf overflowed one half of | Galveston, knocking down some j hundred small tenements, unroofing several churches aud residences, and knocking down signs, awnings and other hangings. The water was on the principal streets and the strand market was several times covered I two feet deep. Three large schooners lying in the harbor were swamped, and one steamboat and two tugs were sunk, one of them being completely demolished. A large lUngllsh bark was forced from her mooring and driven ashore, and ono schooner was left forty feet ashore. Ten men who wore working on the breakwater were drowned. The health officer, Dr. G. \V. Pelt, and iiis guards were drowned, and iiis house carried off. One negro woman was killed by the falling of a house after it had floated fifty feet. Tlie railroad track is torn up in twenty places on the island, and the bridge is partially destroyed. The storm was a regular cyclone. LATER. New Orleans, September 2ii, 10 p. M. A liberal estimate places the los ses iu buildings, shipping stores,etc., at Galveston, at $200,000. The water began to subside early Friday night, and Saturday was ot its accustomed level. Losses fall mainly upon the poorer class of families,whose houses are on the eastern end of the island and washed away. The Galveston Newx says the water was two feet higher on the beach side than ever before known. Dam age to shipping was not great, most vessels drawing out in the bay and eastinganohor.

Read, Reflect and Act. li one grain of Vaccine Virus, takon from tho cow's udder and kept dry for years, theu mois tened, and the keenest point of a Laucut dipped lu It ami drawn gently OU tho arm, so ns not to draw the bitted, will so impregnate aud chauge the entire system as to prevent the party vac cinated from taking the most loathsome dis eases (smallpox) for an entire life; agaiu, if the Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at mosphere the poisou malaria, why will not the proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and destroy the poison, known us malaria, aud thus enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with impunity '( We claim that thero is such a remedy, aud that wo have prepared it, aud applied it, aud proved it in our Anti-malarial or Euchyiuial Belt—aud that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit the worst malarial districts without the fear of having any diseases arising from malaria; such as Chills ami Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever, Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver and Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem orrhoids, aud tha it will cure all the above dis eases, except the worst cases of Billious aud Yel low Fever. This is ualled an Anti-malarial or Eucbyniial Belt, as it corrects tbe humors of tbe oody aud produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys tem, and thus enabling it to per.orm its various duties without fearing the effects of malaria iu the least. It has been tried iu thousands of cases without a failure, Thoy can bo obtained from tho proprietors in any quantity at the Powell Building, junction of Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta. Oa. Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran tee that it will ouie or the money refunded. N. B.—None genuine without the trade mark is stamped upon them. Drs. LOVE bi WILLSON, solo proprietors in the United Btutcs. Address, LOVE A WILIJ4ON, Room No. 8, Powell Building, Atlanta, Ga. A liberal discount made to the trade. Caution.—This Belt or Pad, like all articles of merit, is being imitated by parties who ary try ing to put up a worthless article, as there is not a living person, besides ourselves, that knows the ingredients in it. Wo are the patentees, aud have our Belt protected by a Trade Mark. Burk Cure.—lu another column will be found two remarkable certificates about the efficacy of Drs. Willson A Love’s Malarial Belts. The diffi culty iu the way of using these belts is that they are so simple that few can believe that there is any virtue iu them. When a patient is told to use one he is very much like Naaruou wben told that, to cure his leprosy, he had only to bathe in the river Jordan. Hon. John E. Ward says that (luring his stay in China, as Minister, these belts were used with great as preventives of cholera. We know a case where a lady had been suffering with chilis for more than a year, aud was Dually induced to adopt one of these belts. She has not had a return of the chills since, aud she is fully persuaded that it is owiug to the belt. Dr. Willson’s terms are very fair—no cure, no pay. Jhi'-ltcad the following certificates; Atlanta, Ga., June S, 1875. Messrs. Love & Willson: Gentlemen—ln Aprl last 1 was taken sick with regular Fever aud Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had run on mu for two weeks, 1 wus induced to try one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as directed, aud my Ague became lighter each suc cessive time thereafter for some three or four times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe tite aud clear skiu; aud iu future, il I should ever have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Puds, aud no physic. Wishing everybody that may bo so unfortunate ns to have Chills and Fever may be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts, I am, respectfully, etc., W. J. Wilson. Atlanta, Ga., June 3, 1876. Drs. Love A Willson: On the first day of December last I was taken with Chills aud Fever in Thomasville, Southwes tern Ga.. aud wub treated for the same by three eminent physicians who were able to Btop it only for a few days at a time. It made such inroads on my constitution that my physician pronoun ced me to be iu the first stages of consumption, wh en I accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will son’s Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured me. 1 have had but one chill since, and that was the first day after putting it on. lam now in as good health as 1 ever was iu my lile, and think this Belt a Ged-scnd to the afflicted. J. M. Mathews. Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1875. Borne nine years ago I contracted malaria in Muvunnah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at times, ever since, until I met up with Drs. Love Si Willsou's Anti-malarial Belt some three mouths ago. 1 have worn it continually, and have had no chill since, and find my general health, which hus been poor, much improved. I would recom mend it to others suffering with malaria. R. A. Wallace. Macon, Ga., June 4,1876. Friend Hodgson: I received your letter of tho 20tli ult., on yesterday, I have been off on a fish ing excursion and just returned. The people of this town don’t cliill worth a cent yet. 1 have sold two of the pads, and that I did the very hour I first received them, one to one of our conductors, and to Mr. Vaughn, a Clerk in the office. They both say that they tried Quinine and other remedies, and that they failed till they put on tho pad; since then they have had no more Chills or Fever, and they recommend them to ev erybody. ***** Alex. Mathews, Tho above pads were sent for us by Dr. Hodg son, who is addressed as above. AnnKviLLE C. 11., 8. C„ July 16. Dus. Love k Willson, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentle men—l have been a sufferer from chills and fsver for (19) nineteen years, and have used'aU of the popular remedies, but ouly had temporary relief until about three months since, I was induced, by your agent, Captain W. R. White, to wear one of your “Anti-Marial Belts.” 1 have uot had a chill since putting It on. It has enabled me to look after my farming interest more closely, and ex pose myself to ruin and sunshine more than for nineteen years. It has been worth to mo. In feelings and absolute results, not less than five huudred dollars. I cheerfully recommend It to all “shakers.” Respectfully, etc., JAMES McCRABY. Atlanta Ga., August 7th, 1878. Drs. Love A Willson :—Dear Sirs—l have been having chills, caused from living in a malarious district, for seven years. During that time I have taken ounces of Quiuiue, with which I have usually checked them for a while, but they have invariably returned as soon ns I would leave off tho use of the medicine. Having taken Arse nic aud Strichuine, and nearly every chill remedy I over heard of. 1 procured, a month since, one of your “Anti-Malarial Belts,” which I have worn, and during this time I have had only one chill, which was brought on by being sxposed to night air aud getting wet. It has done me more good than all tho internal remedies put to gether which 1 have taken in the past seven years. I am very gratefully and respectfully yours, WILLIAM CRENHHAW, Dentist. N.
