therefore is of Vegetable origin, and not a Mineral poison,
but on the contrary is proved to be one of the eloments
found in the blood of all healthy persons.
SWEET QUININE
acts as an antidote to, as well as a cure for, malarial or '
miasmatic pois >n, the absorption of which by the lungs
causes Intermittent Fevers, etc. The only advantage
claimed for
SWEET QUININE
over the use of old flitter Qui nine is the entire absence
of that intense, persistent bitterness, which in the latter
is an insurmountable obstacle to its use with most
persons, and always with children.
SWEET QUININE

pieces of bone from her ankle, several from her arm, besides
having ulcers in several parts of her body. Whilst
in this condition she commenced taking your Koskoo?
it acted like a charm on her; under its use the ulcers
gradually healed, and her general health greatly im
proved. ~ It certainly saved her much suffering, and perhaps
her life. I regard Koekoo a specific for all scrofulous

in better health than she has been In fire years.

I am gratefully yours, Ac.,

learn, has never failed. If you only knew the immense
amount of the suffering that he has undejgone, then

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
' * r f*
NAVIGATION COMPANY
OF THE
SOUTH AND WEST.
i'
To the Owner* of Real Estate fin Tennessee,
Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas!
The company known to the public
aa the Mississippi Valley Navigation Company
of the South and West, is organized under a charter
from the State of Louisiana. This charter authorizes
a capital stock of five hundred thousand dollars, with
the privilege of extension to one million. That the
public may know the exact object of the Company, the
third article of the charter is given entire, as follows
"The object of this Company is to construct or otherwise
procure and maintain one or more steamboats or
ether vessels, to run on and navigate the Mississippi
River, or its tributaries, for the purpose of carrying
freight, mails and passengers;' to construct docks,
wharves, buildings and such other constructions as may
be necessary to the building and repairing of vessels,
and generally to exercise such incidental powers and
privileges as arc hereby or may be conferred on them
for the purposes aforesaid."
The company proposes, unaer me provisions 01 wu
charter, to construct a lipe of steamen to run betireea
| he differentports on the Mississippi River and its tribd*
I taries. They will be constructed on the Inwr prnnj<
| principle; they will carry less steam; they will make
better time, and be, in all respects, more safe than any
description of boats ever placed upon our waters.
Divided into distinct compartments, if disaster, whether
by fire or snags, shall happen to one, the boat is no
endangered. In case of fire, apparatus for turning
steam upon it will be provided, and it is demonstrated
that steam is the most effectual extinguisher of lite.' In
case one compartment is broken through by contact
with snags, and fills with water, the others are not endangered,
and the boat cannot sink, as pumps, provided
for such an emergency, will be in instant operation
Safety to passengers and freight is a great end, worthy
of the struggle of the people of the Mississippi Valley
Nearly three hundred thousand dollars in money and
work has already been subscribed io the capital stock
of the Company. The Louisiana Legislatn re has passed
Dill subscribing one hundred thousand dollars of the
stock to the Company. An additional sum of thai
amount will, without doubt, be subscribed by the same
body. The Company have resolved to take lands of
stock, and this is the feature to which they desire to call
the attention of owners of real estate. In the 8onthem
States, on account of the disorganized condition of labor,
lands are an incumbrance. Yast tracts that yield no
revenue to the proprietors, pay exorbitant taxes, and
thus cripple their only productive resources. This
Company propoees to take these lands, at a iair Tarnation,
and issue to the owners their stock In ilea. If
lands shall enhance In value, so will the stock enhanet
in value, and thus the land proprietor will carry in hit
pocket the equivalent of his lands, to be converted ln|o
money or property without delay. The success of thl?
great enterprise is beyond question. The stockholder
in addition to the benefit of the enhanced value of hb
lands, will be part owner of aline of boats, and entitled
to dividends in their earnings.
Persons wishing to exchange lands for the stock of*
the Company will send to the Agent at Memphis a description
of them, their productive qualities^ rr
3 ov?rJowecC*h*t proportion; how near to county town;
to railroad, depot, river, and fill the facts necessary to
afford the Company a satisfactory idea of the land. Thin
may be done by certificates of reliable, disinterested
persons residing in the neighborhood. The present
actual value of the land may be proved in the same manner.
The party offering lands must state in his proposition
the lowest figures he will take. The Company
will not give exorbitant prices. The titles most be
unincumbered by judgments, mortgages, deeds of trust,
ax titles, or otherwise. This may be shown by offlda
certificates of judges, clerics, sheriffs, or the opinions of
respectable attorneys. This is believed to be the be#
opportunity to dispose of surplus lands in the 8outb
and West that has yet been or can be offered.
Many of the wealthiest citizen; of the South and West
are warmly embarked in the enterprise. The General
Headquarters of the Company are in New Orleans, but
agencies exist in all the principal cities. The enterprise
has been indorsed by underwriters, chambers of commerce,
engineers, mechanics, practical navigators, and
all classes of practical men.
The foregoing facts are submitted to the public in the
confident belief that they will be understood d appro
ia ted. |
