Notes of his Illne3s.
ComLMA, December 25.-Autho
ritative reprts of the Governor '
condition to-day confirm and ex
tend the information which has bee
published at intervals for the last
week as to his continu~ed improve
ment, and fally warrant the confi
dent hope now generally entertained
by those in attendance upon him
that he will soon be able to leave
his bed. It would perhaps b'e say
ing too much to state that he is re
garded entirely ontt of danger,
since there are doubtless certain~
conting~encies incident to the nature
of his wound and of his general
condition which cannot safely be
omnitted1 from consideration ;but it
is gratifying to be assured, upon
high authority, that such contingen
cies are very remuote indeed, and it
is not too much to say that the
physicians in charge of the case are.
not just now troubling themselves
over mere pos.sibilities of evil.
Thanks to the considerationi of
a gentleman in Charleston, C. Rut
ledge Holmes, the Governor was
enabled this morning, for the first
time since his accident, to find some
relief from the protracted weariness
of his sick bed by a transfer to the
ingenious and comfortable couch
presented to him by the friend in
question. He was removed from
the bed to the couch without pain,
and expressed himself as greatly
benefited and pleased by the change
itself, as well as by~ the change of
bodily position it enables him to as
sume.
Some of my readers will perhaps
recall upon suggestion a character
istic anecdote concerning the Gocv
ernor whilch was published in the
XaWS andl Core soon' after his
iirst inauguration. and wvherecin was
narrated the circumstances under
which he wrote his first message,
how he dropped his pen, puit asid1e
the tiresome pageo, and divesting
himself of the cares of State, went
off into the woods in search of an
errant turkey gobbler which he
brought home like another prodical
and probably killed in its own honor.
In further ilutration of this. the
domestic side cf his character, it
should be related here that even
during his present serious illness he
has found no small degree of diver
sion in having his pet chickens fed
ocasior,ay be fore his windowv, aund,

but had beenl p'aCed at his disposal
a friend. The Governor is a
h ard rider. where his own is con
crned. but he is not. one of that
very large class of mankind, who.
according to the proverb, are will
ing to ride a "borrowed horse to
death." He left the horse behind,
therefore, upon principle, and took
upon himself the risk of riding in
stead a brute which few other men
would care to bestride.
In this general connection I may
as well mention another fact in
point, which will be appreciated by
any man who knows the Governor
or who has ever followed the hounds,
to wit: that the only real concern
the Governor evinced at the time
of the accident, though suffering
keenly the while, was in view of the
possibility that some blundering re
porter or editor might publish to
the world that he had been thrown
from his saddle.
I have seen it st.1ted, somewhere,
that he was thrown and then kicked
and that it was the kick wlich inflict
ed the injuries he receive.i. The
readers of tie Ve?cs and Coz,urr.
however, know better, and need not
now be retold the details they read
nearly two months ago.
The Governer's accomplishments
as a horseman and a hunter are too
weIl known to ueed repetition here,
and his fondness for iield sporis
bsides being almost incident to
the possession of the ability to en
joy them, is equally well known to
all who know anything of his habits
and tastes. Some of his friends
are now telling with great glee how
onl the Saturc'ey nih prviust
te day ixxed for the ar;putation of
his5 le. i "rliing passion" asser ted
itelf in the face of the dange-rs
whichi surrounde(d him and in spite
of the pain which h e was even
then suffering from his still recent
injury. It had been raining hard
and continuously during Friday
night and all day Satur-day, and the
derssing influences of the weather
conspred to deepen the gloom his
family and friends felt in common
wih ali ins people mn view of his
situation then, perhaps, at its most
critical point. The Governor, how
ever. was thinking of' other things
it appeared, as he turned to one of
his friends, who happene-d to be pwe
set on the occasion referred to, and
remaked that, "as it had bceen rain
ing so heavily all day, the deer
would be driven out of the swamps
and the morrow would be a famous
day for hunting."
I am warned just here that in
collecting and publishing these little
incident s of his illness, I may, how
ever, unintentionally, convey the im
pression that the distinguished suf
ferer who is the subject of them all
has beeni either unaware or incon
siderate of his truly dangerous con
dition. I need searcely add that
s~ch an impression would be wholly
erroneous. WVhat has been narrated
above has been told in the belief
that it will interest all who are in
terested in him, because nothing
tat concerns him is wanting in
iterest at this time. if ever. So
f:e from regarding his injuries or
illness as a light matter, it is per
has true that the Gover-nor antici
pated the worst consequences from
a very early point in the case. It
s sai(d. ideed. that at one time he
expressed himself as not only pre
nared for a fatal termination of his
:se, but as willing for it, and it is
added that not until he was induced
y the apparent concern of his
family and by an affectionate rc
gard for them, to oppose some de.
'e of mntial re. istance to his dis.
es. that there was any sincere
opev) entertained for his final recov
ry. At any rate, ha has steadily

wait until after the holidays before
doing anything here. Somieh-ow the

wouldn't pay to investigate too closely
as the area of investigation had been
enllarged to include Northern as well
as Southerti bulldozing. Speaking of

operations by the bes.t skill in the State, but
received no permanent cure. I1 suffered
great pain at times, and was constantly
weakened by a p)roluse discharge. I also
lost small pieces of bone a t diflerent times.
Matters ran on thus about seven years,
till May, 1574. when! a Iriend recoimmenided
me to go to your ollice, and tali w.ithi you of
the virtue of VEhtWrtNE-. I did so. and by
your' kiridness passed through your mnanu
fietory, noting the ingredients, &ce., by
wiich your remedy is p)roducedl.
By what I saw and heard I gainled some
confidence ini V EGETINEF.
1 commenced taking it soon after. but felt
worse from iits elects; still I parsevered,
and soon felt it was oenetittim' me in other
respects. Yet I did r'ot see the resuhls I
dsiredt till I had tak'' it faithfully for a lit
tle more than a year, when the difficulty in
the badk was cured ; and for nine monthls I
have enjoyed the best of health
I laave in that time gained twenty-tive
pounds of fiesh, being heavier than ever be
ore ini my lile, anid I was never more able
to peform labor than no0w.
During tIle past fe w weeks I had a scrofu
lous swelling ias large as my list gather on
aotheri part of miy b)ody.
I took VEGETINE ;faithifully, and it removed
it level with the surface in a month. I think
I shiould have been cured of my main troum
ble soonier if I taken larger doses, after
having bueconme accoustomed Ito its eff.ets.
L* your patrons troubled with scrofula
or kidlney diseaisi tunderstanid that it t akes
time to car.e chronie diseases; and, if they
will patiently take vEGETINE, it will, in itiy
judgement, cure them.
W ith great obligatiohs I am
Yours5 very truly,
