I'm sitting on the stile, Mary,
Sitting on the stile,
Bnt the ball dog in the front yard
Keeps barking all the while;
Why don't yon tell your pa, Mary,
Or John, if he's about,
To ask youag 8ammy Sloeman,
And make the dog git eont ?
Now I'm sitting on the fence, Mary,
Before the kitchen door,
But the pesky ngly ball dog
Barks louder than before;
And I thought I saw a shadow, Mary,

Against the whitewashed wall.
If that is Reuben's shadow, Mary,
If that was Reuben's shade,
'Twill bring the 'spepsy baok on me,
I'm very muoh afraid ;
Oh. why this ornel treatment,
Why keep me in suspense.
Why don't you make the dog git eout,
And let me off the fence ?

THE LION AND "WHIMBAMPER."
A rare ooonrrenoo was an exhibition of
the wild beasts, lions, tigers, polar bears,and
iohneumoos in Baltimore, at the early day
nP tnhirth wa wava writincr. ret thev came oo
v? -ow w casionallyj
and at this time they were visited
by old Nat Wbealey, a jolly weather
beaten boatman, well known in Baltimore as
an inveterate joker, who never let any one
get to the windward of him.
As Nat entered the showman was stirring
up the monkeys and tormenting the lions,
giving the elaborate descriptions of the va.
rious propensities and peculiarities of eaeb
and all.
"This ladies and gentlemen, this, I say,is
the African lion. / A noble beast, ladies and
gentlemen, &Td is called the king of the forest.
I ljave heard he makes nothing of de^guring
young creatures, of every description^
when' at home in the woods. Certain it
J is, that no other beast can whip him.
'Mister,' said Wheatly, 'do you say he
can't be whipped ?"
I 'I duz,' said the man of lions and tigers.
'What'll you bet I can't fetch a oritter
what'U whip him ?'
?I ain't a bettin' man, at all; I don't object
to take a small bet to that effect.'
"I'll bet I can fetch something that'll
whip him. What say you to a hundred dollars?"
Now there were several merchants in the
crowd who knew Wheatly, well and were
fully convinced that if the bet was made he
was sure of winning So he had no difficulty
iu, finding backers, one of whom told him
he would give him ten gallons of rum if he
won.
The menagerie man glanced at his lion.?
There he crouched in his cage, bis shaggy
mane bristling and his tail sweeping, the
very picture of grandeur and majesty. The
bribe was tempting and he felt assured.
"Certainly, sir; I have no objection to old
Hercules taking a bout with any you may
fetch.'
'Very well,' said Nat, it's a bet.
The money was planked op, and the next
night was designated for the terrible conflict.
The news was spread over Baltimore, and at
-.-.?I? b??? Kavoq aP fKo ononinnc
LIT] CUnjr UUUl iuc vukj ui luu uj-uvtuutheatre
were filled?the pit being cleared for
the affray, expectation was on tip toe, and
it was with impatience the crowd awaited the
arrival of Wheatly. He at length entered,
bearing a large bag or sack upon bis shoulders,
which, as he let it fall upon the floor,
was observed to contain some remarkably
hard substance. The keeper looked ut it
with indignation.
' 'There,' said Nat pointing with his finger
at the bag.
'Well, what is it?' asked tbe mau with
increasing astonishment.
'That, ladies and gentlemen,' said Nat, |
gesticulating like a showman, 'is a whimbam- :
per!'
A whimbamper?' echeod the keeper;
teat's certainly a new feature in zoology and
anatomy. A whimbamper! Well let him
out and clcur the ring, or old Hercules mny
make a mouthful of both of you.'
The keeper was excited. Accordingly,
Nat raised the bag, holding the apertundownwards,
and rolled out a huge snapping'
turtle, v>hile the cheers and laughter of th<
audience made the arches riug.
'There he is!' said Wheatly, as he lifted
the whimbamper over bis bands and set him
on his legs. The snapper seemed unconscious
of its peril. The keeper was about
leaving the room when he 6wore his lion
Bhould not disgrace himself by fighting such
a contemptible foe.
'Very well,' said Nat, 'if you choose to
give the hundred?'
?
But it's UDfair,' cried the showman.
The audience interposed and insisted upon
the fight. There was no escape, and the
showman reluctantly released the lion, and
making himself secure on the top of the
cage.
The majestic beast moved slowly around
the riDg, snuffing aDd lasbing, while every
person held his breath in suspenso. Lionsare
nrvinir beasts, and this one was not long
in discovering the truth, which lay on the
floor a huge and inanimate mass. The lion
food brought his nose in close proximity to
it, when the turtle not thinking popped ont
his head and rolled its eyes, while a sort ol
wheeze issued from it3 savagerous mouth.?
The lion jumped back made a spring at the
critter, which was now fully prepared for its
reception. As the lion landed on him, the
turtle fastened its terrific jaws upon the lion's
nostril's, rendering him powerless to do harm
yet with activity of limb he bounded around
the circle, growled, roared, and lashed bim>
:
self, but the snapper hung on, seeming to
enjoy the ride vastly.
'Go it, whimbamper !' cried Wheatly from
the boxes.
The scene was rich. The showman was
no less enraged than the lion. Drawing his
pistol, he threatened Nat with terrible
threats, that if he didn't take the turtle off
he'd shoot him.
Take him off yourself !' shouted Nat in
reply.
At this critical moment, by dint of losing
| a portion of his nose the lion shook his dangerous
foe from him, and clearing the space
between him and the cage with a bound, he
sunk quickly in his cage to chew the bitter
end of defeat and pain.
It was a fair fight, all declaring that the
whimbamper was the victor. The money
was paid over to Nat, who left the theatre
delighted at the success of whim. The
nest morning he carried his turtle to market
and sold him. So this valiant champion,
after conquering the king of beasts, served
for a dinner to Baltimore epicures.
How Joe Won the Pencil.?Joe
B?- is unquestionably the handsomest
married man in Cincinnati. Joe sports a
wife besides several other creature comforts.
Well, he and his wife, Harry and
George??and their wives all board at the
same house. A day or two ago, while they
were at the table luxuriating on the detached
portion of a boiled turkey with oysters, the
conversation began on Christian names,when
Mrs. Harry contended that she could name
more distinguished individuals who bore the
name of Harry than any gentlemen could of
Atsown name, and concluded by offering a
ernld nonml fts ft wncrer acflinfit a Suitable C
f. ... D_. quivalent
if she shoald win.
The trial commenced, Mrs. Harry started
off with "Harry of the West," adding a dozen
others.
George now gathered upon Washington,
the four Georges of England, Lord
George of France &c.
"Now, Mr. John what have you to say ?"
asked the charming Mrs. Harry.
"Oh ! I can give you a hundred. The two
Adams, Lord John Russell, John Tyler?
John?John?bring me some water John !"
"Stop, Stop! you can't win. Mr. Joseph
your turn comes now," continued tho laughing
little woman.
Now, if ever a bashful man lived it is
friend Joe. He dared not look up. He had
been racking his brain for an answer, but to
no purpose?and in despair he made one
grand effort at raising his head, replied ;
"My dear madam, I have lost. I cannot
think of any very distinguished men who ever
bore the name of Joseph, except the gentleman
we read about in the sacred scriptures?he
who was 6uch a favorite of Mrs.
Potiphar?but I will not offer him, for I
think he was the est fool 1 ever did hear
of I"
"Here's the pencil," said Mrs. ilarry, tossing
it over to him, as she and the other ladies
soud out of the room.
Them Cats.?A Philosophical old gentlemen
was one day passing a new schoolhouse,
erected somewhere towards the setting
sun borders on the glorious Union, when his
attention was suddenly aroused by a crowd of
person gathered arouud the door.
He inquired of a boy whom he met, what
was going on.
" Well nothin," < cept the skule committee,
and they are goiDgin."
"t)h, Committee meets to-day, eh ? What
for?"
"Well," continued the boy, "you see, Bill,
that's our biggest boy got mad at the teaolier,
and so he went all about and gathered dead
cats. Nothing but cats, and cats. Oh? it
was orful them cats 1"
"Pshaw! what have the cats to do with
the School Committee?"
"Now, well, you see, Bill kept bringin'
cats and cats: always piliu' them up yonder
(pointing to a large pile, as large in extent
as a pyramid and considerably aromatic ;)
and he piled them and piled them. Notbiu'
but cats,cats!"
" Never mind, my son what Bill did.?
What has the Committee met for?"
'"Then Bill got sick handlin''em, and
Bill got madder,and didn't give up, but kept
a pilin up the cats?and?
"Tell what the Committee are holding a
meeting for?"
" Why, the skule committee are going to
meet to hold a meetingto say whether they'll J
move the skule house or them cats !"
The old gent evaporated immediately.
Magnificently Sold ?No medical society
could be injoosedupon a?once was the
London Medical Society. They were authentically
informed that a sailor had broken
I his leg, and it had been cured in three days
by the application of tar and oakum. They
immediately broke the legs of such animals
as they could get, bandaging them with tar
and oakum, but the legs did not get well;
and they wanted to break some man's leg to
test this wonderful cure. Finally, they
wrote to their informant to learn, if they had
used the right kind of tar and oakum, and
in the right proportions. He assured them
all was right, and added in a prescript, that
the leg being of icoad, tar and oakum was
probably as good as anything they could have
used.
Rather a Stretch.?One of the old
proprietors of Dysett's tavern, in Cecil Co.,
used to entertain his guets with the most
marvellous incident and adventures, one of i
which is still extant, viz :
He went to the woods with a sled for a |
load of wood, which he loaded up, but a rain j
coming up, so softened his ruw-hide traces,
that they stretched until he reached home,
without the-led ever starting. He took them
off the horse and throw the harness over the
gate post. After a whilo the sun came out,
the traces began to contract, aud the sled
came sliding up.
SSf* An assembled family, as the legacy to ;
each was read aloud, sobbed and wished that I

At last came the bequest to his heir: "I givo !
my eldest son Tom, a BhilliDg to buy a rope :

"Would to God," said Tom, sobbiug, like
the rest, "that my poor father had lived to
enjoy it himself."
A Pennsylvania editor, in an appeal

From the Cotton Planter and Soil.
OVERSEERS.
Dr. cloud?Dear Sir:?Under this
heading I propose to make a few remarks to
the readers of the Cotton Planter and
Soil.
In what relation does an overseer stand
to his employer? He should be a man, and
an equal in truth honesty and uprightness.
He should'be an equal in tne management
of a plantation, possessing industry and intelligence.
In hiring a man to attend to
business, his past character should be carefully
ascertained, If he has proved ineffi.
cient, examine the matter thoroughly; for
it may be the fault of his employer. Find
out as much a9 possible about his habits,
and his ways in the management of negroes
?one who will command respect and obe
dience without resort to kuives, sticks and
guns. The services of such a man are valuable,
and he will on seeking a situation, not:
underrate his abilities, if he does, suspect
him. For example: an excellent planter of
our acquaintance, working 50 or 60 hands,
was applied to by a stranger for a situation
as overseer. After talking a good while, the
planter was rather pleased with tho applicant,
and being disposed to hire him,he asked
the terms upon which he would take his
force. The overseer replied he would work
a year for two hundred dollars, or at the
same rates by the month. His services were
not wanted at any price. The planter saw
at once there was something wrong. A very
dear friend told me not long since that it
was cheaper to pay a good overseer five hundred
dollars a year than to give a sorry one
his mush for the same length of time, since
the mean one would eat as much as the good
one, besides bein'- a perpetual source of annoyance.
We always sm n married man of ex'
i 1 _
perience; for, in case he is disposed to ao
wrong, being married is a decided :ncentive
to do good, since there is no man, with proper
feelings and a due sense or hojior, who will
risk having his wifo and children turned out
of doors by any untoward act of imprudent
conduct on his part.
Every planter should consider well the
bad economy in cheap overseers. They are,
like most cheap things, worthless. The remark
of a very shrewd old negro man,
"Patrick," the other day struck me as sensible?"Dese
nic' yune oberseers aint wut
nutben; one man like mas Die is wut
more'n all uv 'cm put togithcr "
If an overseer conducts himself properly,
and attends closely to his business, be will
surely command the best of wages, and the
man that is able to hire one should be willing
to compensate him and have the right sort
or none at all. He should conduct himself
. 1 4.!
in such a manner as to possess tne enure cuufidence
and respect of bis employer, and the
latter, while off of his plantation, will feel
perfectly easy on the score of his interests?
knowing that they will bo protected, guarded
and promoted with us muchdilligence, watchfullness
and care as if he were always on the
place. The " profession" of overseeing is
crowded, hence men say they are obliged to
have employment; but examine into the matter
and ask yourself if you ever saw a good
article going at notbiog when there is a
great demand for it. A good overseer's services
will command $400 to $500 a year, and
upwards. Interloper.

CULTIVATING PLANTS WHILE
THE DEW IS ON.
Messrs. Editors.?At least fifteen years
ago, I noticed a plot of cabbages, of which
the large, firm beads I could not account fcr
from anything apparent in the soil Od asking
the owner how he made from such a soil
so tine and uniform a crop, I found his only
secret was that " he hoed them while the
dew was on." He thought that in this way
he icatercd them, but of course the good resulted
more from the ammonia than the
moisture of the dew.
I adopted the practice the year following
and with the result was so well satisfied that
1 have since continued and recommended it
to others. In my ?'Gardeningfor theSouth,"
published two years since, you will find (page
163) ??they (the cabbage tribe) especially
like to have the soil about them thoroughly
worked while the dew is on them. There will
be a very great ditterence betwen tne growm
of two plots of cabbags. treated in other
respects alike, one of which shall be hoed at
sunrise and the other at midday; the growth
of the former will surprisingly exceed that of
the latter."
A story in point some time since went the I
round of the agricultural press, of which the {
substance is as follows: A small plot.ot
ground was divided equally between the hired
lad of a farmer and his son, the proceeds of
its culture to be their own. They planted it
with corn, and a bet was made by them as to
which should make the best crop. At harvest
tho son came out some quarts behind.
He could not understand the reason, as he
bad liocd his twice a week until laid by,
while he had not seen the hired lad cultivate
his plot at all, and yet the latter had gained
the wager. It turned out the winner's crop
had been hoed quite as frequently, but before
his rival was up iu the morning. Providence,
it seems follows the hoc of the curly
riser with a special and increased reward.
But there are exceptions. Cultivating
while the dew is on, manifestly benefits such
gross feeders as cabbage aud corn, but there
are plants very impatient of being disturbed
while wet. The common gardeu snap and
running beans are examples ; and if worked
while wet, even with dew, the pores of the
leaves seem to become stopped, aud the whole
plant is apt to rust and become greatly injured.
Whether the Lima beans and other
' ? ? ? ?-* hnflj I rt ll A
legumes are as impuucut ui uciug uuiu >u tuu
dew, I have not ascertained. Experiments
should, however, be tried the coming season
on all hoed crops. wm. N. wnite.

How to .Make Tea Properly.?The
proper way to make a good cup of tea is a
matter of some importance. The plan
which I have practised twelve months is
this: The teapot is at once tilled up with
boiling water, theu the tea is put into the
pot and is allowed to stand five minutes before
it is used; the leaves gradually absorb
the water, and as gradually sink to the bottom
: the result is thut the leaves are not
scalded as they are when boiling water is
poured over them, and you get all the true
flavor of the tea. In truth, much less tea
is required in this way than under the old
ajid common practice.?Ex.

j THE TEMPERANCE REFORM.
Mr. Editor:?It has occurred to me thai
there would be no impropriety in writing an
article for jour paper on the subject of the
great Temperance Reform that is now going
all over the country. Nor can I conceive
tliflt there wnnM ho nnr imorODriety in pub
lishing it in the Telescope, provided that it
is well enough written to merit a column in
so valuable a paper. I am aware that there
are men, good men, who cannot or do not,
see their way clear, to fall in with the great
temperance movement, but whether the fault
is theirs, or wehther there is really something
j very objectionable in the means by which
the friends of temperance are endeavoring to
promote so noble a work remains to be seen.
Ever since man first became a sinner, every
effort, that had for its object a moral or
religious reformation, has met with opposition,
and I presume this will continue to be the
case until the end of time, or at least, until
(the gospel shall exert its beoign and legitimate
influence, over every class and condition
of mankind. Religion itself is notonly
opposed, but hated and contemned by
multitudes of our race, not because it is inimical
to our best interests, or because itsunivereal
spread and acceptance, would tend to
our injury, but because of the wickedness of
mankind, and because of the ignorance of
thousands of our race. There are perhaps
but few intelligent, sober, reflecting men who
come out openly, and oppose Temperance.?
They admitthat temperance isranked among
the cardinal virtues and that without a majority
of the people are temperate in the use
of ardent spirits, society could not hold together.
But they are nevertheless opposed
to the present prevailing mode of suppressing
it. I will here give you a thought that has
just occurred to my mind. It is this, that
the infidel is not, as he says, opposed to re
ligton, bat he is opposed to the religion of
the Bible?he believes in the religion of Nature.
Now, when individuals oppose the
present mode of suppressing the tremendous
evil of intemperance, does the idea not naturally
suggest itself to our minds, that there
is a secret opposition to the temperance reform.
Now, if the objections that are usually
urged against the present mode of reform
wero valid and wdl founded, there
would be some excuse for these objectors but
we concoive that every argument that can
be brought against the Sons of Temperance,
or the method adopted by them for the suppression
of intemperance, will be found frivolous,
and futile, when seen and viewed in the
light of truth. Before enrolling myself under
the banner of the Sons of Temperance,
I too, had my objections to the Sons, and I
was candid aud honest in the matter, but
I found the Sons tVero doing a good work,
and were gaining ground rapidly, and that
many of our best citizens were joining them,
men of intelligence, men of piety, men whose
sincerity I could not question, and I was led
to conclude that I might be mistaken in my
notions concerning the order. I at length
decided to fall into ranks, but with the express
understanding, that if I should discover
uny thing that I regarded as morally wrong
I would go no further, but evcu expose the
order. I have seen nothing yet to alarm me,
or even to create a doubt as to the morality
or efficiency of the Order, but many things
that I never dreamed of before to stimulate
me to press forward in the good woik.?
When I witness a highly commendable zeal
in the members, when I see men of intelligence,
men of piety, meu of the first standing
in the community, and vrhen I see men
who were onco members of the Church, but
wore thrown out for their intemperance,
when I see men of different oreeds in religion,
and in politics, aged, middle aged, and
the youths of our country, banding together
as brethren, to arrest, if possible, the desolating
tide of intemperance, and endeavoring
to ameliorate the temporal, as well as the
spiritual condition of our race, when I see
their zeal in the good'eause, and their fidelity,
I feel like takiDg courage, and pressing
onward; hoping that the noble cause will
prosper, and eventually triumph, notwithstanding
all the opposition, both secret and
avowed, that may be brought to bear against
it. May we not hope that every lover of social
order, of humanity, of morality, of religion,
and in short, of every thing that is
lovely and of good report, will certainly see
I the necessity, as well as the duty of coming
forward in so noble a canse as onrs, and use
I their influence to destroy the fell destroyer
| of human happiness. Why should any stand
I idle all the day, when intemperance is sweeping
like a tornado over our happy country,
blasting the hopes, bcth for time and eternity,
of thousands, who otherwise, might have
been in comfortable circumstances, useful
members of society, and finally heirs of redeeming
grace. If those who stand aloof
from this noble cause, on the grouud that
they arc not opposed to a temperance reform,
but only opposed to the Sons of Temperance,
or to their mode of promoting temperance,
would get up some better way to accomplish
the object, we will most heartily fall in with
them, not attachiug so much importance to
the mode, as we do to the cause. Jiut we
much fear that many will continue to occupy
j their present position, not because their is
anything wroDg about the Sons of Temperance,
but because they occasionally, at least
like to enjoy the privilege of taking a social
tn nlnnn themselves
115?J UUU UW HUb I1QV ?V
iu a position, in which they cannot consistently
enjoy so great a luxury. Some good men
think that the Bible, or the Church, or religiou,
will eventually reform men from intemperance,
if they would but give heed to
its warnings, and confirm to its precepts.?
Well, tho Church has been operating for
centuries, the Bible and its sacred teachings
have been enjoyed from time almost immemorial,
and religion in every shape has been
professed by mankind, since the days of
Adam, and yet tho world in regard to intemperance
especially, is growing worse. If all
men could bo brought to embrace the gospel,
and practice its precepts, the work would be
accomplished. But can wo reasonably expect
this under existing circumstances. The
I Sous of Temporanco do not expect to super1
sede by their iustrumentalitv, as Sons, the
! use of the means of graoe in reforming man1
kind. But may they not be co-workere with
| the Churches in preparing men to attend
Church who urc seldom seen at Church, but
I generally are found ut some doggery, or
where ardent spirits are freely drank, and
where the song of the drunkard and the
sweet melody of bottles and glasses blend
: harmoniously together. Instances could be
: given that have come within my own knowl'
edge, where drunken sots, who previous to
i joining tho Order, were never seen at'
[ Church, (except, perhaps at a camp meet-'
| ing) who, after giving up tho bottle and becom-j
! ing sober men, were seen not only at Church,.
j but became members of the Church and con-!
sistent members. Now, although wc do not
j claim to be a religious Order, yet a sound rnor
' J ality is inculcated on our members, and they i
are dealt with, and punished for any immoral-;
! ity, especially when couvencd to transact the :
1 appropriate business of the Order.
Now, if there is any thing morally wrong
in the mode adopted bv the Sons for the
suppression of intomporancc, we would be
glad to have it pointed out, and will pledge
ourselves to abandon it; but mere assertion
will not satisfy U9?we want the proof.?
Now, let me appeal to every intelligent
Christian, before leaving the subject. Do
you feel easy in your present position, (supposing
that you are doiog nothing to arrest
j the tremendous evil of intemperance) or can
| you as a professor of the religion of Jesus
Christ reconcile it to your conscience, to say
nothing, nor do nothing whereby the ruinous
and destructive sin of drunkenness may
be put down ? Do you conscientiously believe,
that because you have objections to the
Sons of Temperunce, that that alone will justify
your present course ? I leave the subject
with you, hoping you will ponder it
well. A Son.

Restorative, and its effects were so wonderful, we
'elt it our duty to you and the afflicted, to report it i
Our little son's head for some time had been I
perfectly covered with sores, and some called it i
scald head. The hair almost entirely come off in
jonsequence, when a friend, seeing his sufferings,
idvised us to use your Restorative, we did so with
little hope of success, but to our surprise, and that
jf all our friends, a very few applications removed
the disease entirely, and a new and luxuriant
:rop of hair soon started out, and we can now any
lliat our boy bus as healthy a scalp, and luxurimt
a crop of hair us any otLer child. We can
therefore, and do hereby comaioud your Resstorative,

and Epidemic Diseases. i
THE nOWARD ASSOCIATION, in view of the '
awfal destruction of human life, caused by 1
3exual disease, and the deceptions practiced upon I
:be unfortuate victims of such diseases by Quacks,
several years ago directed their Consulting Sur- 1
jeon, as a CHARITABLE ACT worthy of their
iamo, to open a Dispensary for the treatment of 1
:his class of disease, in all their forms, and to
jive MEDICAL ADVICE ORATIS to all who apply j
oy letter, with a description of their condition, j
'age, occupation, habits of life, &c.) and in cases
if extreme poverty, to FURNISH MEDICINES 1
FREE OF CHARGE. It Is needless to add that 1
the Association oommands the highest Medical
skill of the age, and will famish the most modem 1
treatment.
The Directors of the Association, in their Annual
Reportupon the treatment of Sexual Diseases,
for the year ending January 1st, 1858, express the 1
lighest* satisfaction with the success which has
ittended the labors of the Consulting Surgeon in
:he cure of Spermatorrhoea, Seminal Weakness, I
impotence, Gonorrboe, Gleet, Syphilis, the vice of 1
Jnanism or Self-abuse, &c., and order a continu- t
ince of the same plan for the ensuing year. t
The Directors, on a review of the past, feel as- *
mrred that their labors in this sphere of benevo- '
cnt effort have been of great benefit to the afflict- ?
;d, especially to the young, and they have resolv?d
to devote themselves, with renewed zeal, to
:his very important and muoh despised cause.

THE LIFER '
EWn?<a>I&ATOIS 2
PREPARED BY DR. SANFORD, '
Compounded entirely from OTTOS,
IS ONE OP THE BEST PURGATIVE AND
LIVER MEDICINES now before the public,
that act!" nc a Cathartic, easier, milder, and mora
effectual than any other medicine known. I Via
not only a Cathartic, bat a Liver remedy, acting
first on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then
on the stomach and bowels to carry off that mat*
ter, thus accomplishing two purposes effectually,
without any of the painful feelings experienced in
the operations of most Cathartic*. It strengthens
the system at the eamotime that it purges it; and
when taken daily in moderate doses, will strengthen
and build it up with unusual rapidity.
The Liver is one of ?| the principal regulators
of the human body; and'Qr | when it performs its
functions well,tliepow jPTers of the system are
fully developed. The ^stomach is. almost entirely
dependent on the]\w/|healthy action of the
Liver, for the proper r,| performance of itsfitnolions;
wLen the stom-j^ijachisat fault, the bowels
are at fault, and tbei J. whole system suffers in
consequence of one oi-j^!gnn?the Liver?baring
ceased to doits duty, For tho diseases of that
organ, one of the pro-,fnprietors has made It his
study, in a practice ofirn|moretbantwentyyears
to find some remedy'^ wherewith to counteract
the many derange-jw'ments to which it is
liable. Lwj
To prove that thisj^ (remedy is at last fooad,
any person troubled^^ with Liver Complaint,
in any of its forms, has'^ but to try a bottle, and
conviction is certain. P^f . *

A few bottles cures Dropsy, by exciting

We take pleasure in recommending this medijine
as a preventive for Fever and Ague, Chill Fever,
and all Fevers of a Bilious Type. It operates
with certainty, and thousands are willing to testi

All who use it are giving their unanimous testimony

and swallow both together.

It cures as if by magic, even the firti dote giving
