THE INTELLIGENCER. LOCAL. MATTERS. CAROLINA COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. second Annual Commencement?A Large Attendance and a Highly Creditable Exhibition, The Second Annual Commencement of ?the deservedly popular educational institute in our midst came off last week, and was "highly satisfactory and gratifying to its patrons and friends. The cause of co-education of the sexes has aio reason to be otherwise than proud of the ?experiment being made in this institution, for so far it has been a vindication of the propriety and advantage of such a system of instruction. The graceful deportment and the evident intellectual advancement evinced by the pupils upon these commence? ment occasions are higher encomiums upon the worth and success of the college than any remarks from us would be, and to be fully appreciated should be witnessed. At this commencement there was nothing of the ostentatious display incident to many of -our college commencements, which, if not intended to do so, most certainly do attract the attention of their visitors from close at? tention to the attainments of the students, thereby securing^ favorable opinion where it might not otherwise have been bestowed. The exercises were marked throughout by an entire absence of display, and whatever of merit was seen emanated from the culture and attainments of the students. the decobationb <n* fhe hall were simple, yet beautiful and appropriate. The centennial decoration rupon the rear of the stage was happily con? ceived and tastefully executed, consisting of two flags of our nation floating above the proud motto "Omnia pro honore," and a shield upon which our State emblem, the palmetto tree, was represented. Upon the left of the shield was the historic date "1776," while the right commemorated our present centennial year by the figures "1876," while miniature flags of many MWM and States were grouped around. Upon the left of the stage and in front was Ae badge of mourning and the words "In Mevioriam" arranged above a lyre, which brought up sad memories of one who was gone from a sphere of usefulness in which she was loved and appreciated by all. Over the front of the stage was "Carolina Col? legiate Institute," circling over a hive with its busy swam of bees, beneath which was "Industry." Over the right of the stage was "Ottrpe diem. Tempus fugit." Upon the left side of the hall was "The roots of education are bitter, the fruits are sweet," and on the right the motto "NU arduum mortalibus, per severentia omnia vincimus" appeared. In the rear and over the entrance door was "Dum spiro spero" and beneath the emblematic anchor. The effect of these decorations was very pretty, and displayed much taste in their selection and arrangement. the music was furnished on each of the three evenings by the Anderson Cornet Band in front of the University building and also in the Chapel hall. Their music was much enjoyed by those present, and the members of the band are entitled to the thanks of the com? munity, for their services during the com? mencement exercises were gratuitous. Those present also enjoyed much very fine music upon the violin, accompanied by the piano, on every evening, contributed by Mrs. and Miss Pin kind, ladies of splendid musical attainments. This portion of the commencement was highly appreciated, and formed quite an important addition to its pleasures. the commencement evening came off on Wednesday, and at the appoint? ed hour the faculty and students marched into the chapel and occupied their appointed seats. Capt. James A. Hoyt, President of the Institution, Prof. W. J. Ligon, President of the Faculty, Prof. A. C. Laughlin and Rev. D. E. Frierson, together with the young ladies* who were to read compositions, occupied seats upon the stage, and the stu? dents introduced the exercises of the even? ing by the hymn "Nearer my God to Thee," after which Rev. D. E. Frierson offered a short, beautiful and fervent prayer for the Institution and its students. Extracts were spoken by Dudley Reed, Clement Brown, Henry Glenn, Robert Clark, J. R. Smith, jr., John A. Towers, George M. Tolly, James 22. Sadler, "Willie C. Bewley, Hammond Wilcox, Lucius Featherston, James Lomax, J. P. Reed, jr., Nimrod B. Sullivan and Ernest Brown. Compositions were read as follows: Miss 3Iamie E. Towers, subject?"Beauties of Nature." Miss.Victoria Catlett, subject? ?"Be it ever so humble, there is ho place like home." Miss'Hattie A. Brown, subject? ?"True charity is a plant divinely nursed." Miss Ida C. Bewley, subject?"Vanity pf human grandeur." Miss Mattie E. Towers, subject?"Power of example." Miss John? nie V. Spear, subject?"Touches of time." Miss Maggie L. Brown, subject?"The duty of being prepared to meet the claims of society." Miss Stark Bcllotte, subject? "Unseen flowers." Miss Lizzie Tolly, sub? ject?"God revealed in nature." These compositions were highly creditable to their authors, and were read with a distinctness and ease of manner rarely to be met with. Each of these young ladies deserves a con? gratulation for her success on tlds occasion. the cha rapes given on -Thursday and Friday nights, by a portion of the students, for the purpose of raising funds to supply needed furniture and so forth for* the Institution, were quite successful, and made about one hundred and twenty dollars. They showed consid? erable stage talent on the part of some of the students, and afforded much amusement to those present. An appreciation of them was testified by the presence of about three hun drad persons on each evening. The performance on Thursday night con? sisted of a representation of "Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works?Part I; the charade, "A Young Amazon," and a recitative piece, "The Mission'of the Spirits." On Friday night it consisted of Part II of "Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works," the fairy drama of "Beauty and the Beast," "a Ger? man Student's Convention," rendered by the German class, including songs and ex? tracts by different members of the German class. The exercises of the evening closed with a chorus sung by the whole school, and thus the commencement and its inci? dents ended to the delight of the visitors, and doubtless to the satisfaction of the scholars, who will indulge in a vacation of some weeks during this hot weather. We hope the Institutian may haye many re? currences of this occasion, and that it will begin its next session with increased num? bers and increased interest on the part of its friends. SANDY SPRINGS DEMOCRATIC CLUB. At a regular meeting of Sandy Springs Democratic Club, held on July 15th, the following resolutions were adopted ? Resolved, That we rescind the action or a called meeting, held on the 10th of June, in consequence of irregularity of the meeting. Resolved, That we meet on the third Sat? urday in August for the purpose of nomi? nating candidates for the primary election. Resolved That we invite Messrs. John B. Moore, Jas. L. Orr and Dr. W. C. Brown to address the Club on that day, at 1 o'clock. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the County papers. PETER McPHAIL, Pres., pro tern. W. A. G. McWhobter, Sec. BRIEF MENTION. We received a very fine one year old beet from Mr. J. G. Caifee on last Friday. It was nearly round, and weighed 131 pounds. Mr. E. W. Byrum sent to our office last week an Irish potato weighing 23 ounces*. It was an unusually large potato, and heads the list for weight in this County so far as we have heard. Orion Lodge, L 0. G. T., will have a pic nie at Mt. Bethel Church on the 1st Saturday in August, and Dr. W. G. Browne, Mr. G. F. Tolly and Dr. C. V. Barnes are expected to make speeches. - Messrs. G. E. Brown and J. J. Fretwell returned home on Monday last from an extensive tour in the North, which included a glimpse at the Centennial, Niagara Falls, and many prominent cities. Sam Williams, colored, from Beltou, was shot in the leg with buck shot in a difficulty with a white man named John Wilson, at D?nnaldsville, on last Tuesday. Wilson has not been arrested. We regret to announce the deathjof a little son of Mr. John H. Hembree, which oc? curred on the 12th inst., after a brief illness. The funeral services were performed by Rev. D. L. Whitaker, and the remains interred on the 13th inst. We are requested to announce that Mr. W. W. Russell will install the officers of Neal's Creek Grange on Friday (to-morrow) morning, at 10 o'clock. The members of the Grange are requested to be present. There will be a Grange dinner, and a very pleasant day may be expected. A train is now running from Walhalla to Sandy Springs, and in a few days it is ex? pected that the break, between Anderson and Pendleton will be repaired, when the regular trains will be resumed, making the connection at the Broadaway trestle. A large amount of timber has been taken to Broadaway, and we learn that the re-build? ing of the trestle will be pushed forward vigorously. We are pained to record the death of Mr. W. L. Cornog, an esteemed citizen of Hart County, Ga., which occurred on the 26th alt., in the 34th year of his age. He was a warm-hearted, genial gentleman, and greatly respected wherever he was known. He was an active, influential citizen of our neigh? boring State, and was much endeared to numerous friends and acquaintances in South Carolina. We regret to learn that our friend, Mr. D. H. Glenn, who resides in the neighbor? hood of Fair Play, met with a terrible acci? dent last week in running a thresher, by which one of his arms was caught in the machinery, and so terribly lacerated that amputation above the elbow was necessary. Dr. J. B. Browne performed the operation, and at last accounts Mr. Glenn was doing as well as could be expected. We are indebted to Mr. John H. Clarke, Secretary of the Anderson Bee Company, for a nice specimen of honey, taken from one of his patent hives. These hives are a great improvement upon the old style, the honey being extracted without breaking the comb, and with little trouble. Mr. Clarke took twenty-four pounds from one*hive. Mr. Clarke will take pleasure in showing the advantages of this hive over the'old plan. Give him a call. Little Baylis, oldest child of Mr. D. S. Maxwell, of this place, came near being killed one day last week by an infuriated cow. He was at Mr. B. F. Crayton's on a visit, and in attempting to pass through the lot was pursued by the cow, which caught him at the fence and tossed him over her head, and turning upon him began hooking at him while on the ground. But for the timely interference of Mr. S. M. Crayton he would certainly have been killed in a short time. He was fortunate to escape without serious injury. The regular meeting of New Prospect Di? vision No. 68, Sons of Temperance, held its regular meeting at Deep Creek Grange Hall on Saturday, July 15th inst., and *was ad? dressed upon the subject of Temperance by Messrs.

THE BLACKVfLLE NEWS. Our young friend, T. D. Kennedy, Esq., has embarked again in journalism, and is now the editor of the Blackville Newt. His salutatory appeared last week, and gives evidence that his ready pen will be wielded strong as ever hi the cause of justice, truth and right. His principles are uncompromis? ingly Democratic, and the News will make a valiant fight in the present campaign against demagoguery and thievery. The paper has already been greatly improved, and its proprietors will do everything in their power to make it a first-class country newspaper. Bamwell County ought to give our young friend a cheerful and adequate support, and we take pleasure in recom? mending him to the good citizens ofthat section. HOPEWELL DEMOCRATIC CLUE. This Club met on Saturday, July 8th, 1876, and was called to order by Capt. M. B. Williams, President. Several names were added to the list. After the usual business, Messrs. Jas. L. Orr, A. J. Watt and W. S. Pickens addressed the Club. The Club then suggested the following names for the Legis? lature and County offices, to wit: For the Legislature?Hon. James L. Orr, Col. W. S. Pickens, Dr. W. C. Brown and Hon. H. R. Vandiver. County Commissioners?Col. J. Jamison, L. D. Harris and Samuel Browne. School Commissioner?A. J. Watt. Probate Judge?W. W. Humphreys. SherifT?James H. McConnell. Clerk of Court?John W. Daniels. Trial Justice?Lewis W. Gentry. The Club then adjourned. M. B. WILLIAMS, Pres. A. M. Gutto5, Sec. "Fleming," whose forgeries sometime since enabled him to draw from the banks of Charleston $7,000, has been caught. His real name is Wm. Fortune, formerly a con? tractor on the Air Line Road, and now a contractor on the Spartanburg and Asheville Road. He was picked up in Henderson ville, N. C, where he was arrested and gave bond. A CARD FROM CAPT, VANDIVEB. Messrs. Editors : A communication over the signature of. "A Democrat" appears in a late number of the Intelligencer, addressed to Messrs. Simpson, Orr and myself, in which the writer makes the enquiry, if again nom? inated by the Democracy of the County, would we be willing to serve another term in the Legislature ? In reply for myself, I would state that I consider that nominations should be neither sought, nor in a crisis like the present, de? clined by any man in the County; that I have delayed an answer to the enquiry of "A Democrat," in order that I might first ascertain, if possible, the actual wishes of the people. That I am now satisfied that it is the wish of a large majority of the voters of the County that I should again be a can? didate, and being assured of this fact, I ac? cept the nomination. With many thanks to "A Democrat" for his kind solicitude in my behalf, as well as to those Democratic Clubs who have so far honored me as to place my name promi? nently before the people, I can only say, if again honored by your suffrages, that I will in the future, as I have tried to do in the past, support such measures as I believe will best promote the true interest of all classes of the State. I will go out and con? fer with the people when the canvass opens, but shall rely on my record. H. R. VANDIVER. Tbwnville, S.'C, July 18,1876. BRIEFLETS OF STATE NEWS. Gov. Perry has written a long letter to the Grecpville News, announcing his opposition to primary elections. Judge Northrop has decided to make Spartanburg his tempor?r}' home. New berry will be disappointed at this judicial decision. Marion has the first white barber shop ever opened within its corporate limits. Such an institution in Anderson would be well patronized. Col. H. T. Peake, so long and favorably connected with the railroad interests of South Carolina, has recently left the State to take a position on the Texas and Pacific Railroad. Primary elections are becoming popular among the Democrats throughout the 8tate, and a large number of counties will nomi? nate their candidates for county offices by this system. Capt. Farley, of the Spartan, declines to run for Sheriff of Spartanburg County. He is too tender-hearted for that office, and we nominate him for son-in-law to the richest man in America. ?he primary election in Pickens County will take place on Friday, 18th of August. The adoption of this system, says the Senti? nel, will make the Democracy of Pickens five hundred votes stronger in November. Col. J. S. Cothran, of Abbeville, made a stirring address to the members of the Nine? ty Six Democratic Club last week, in which he advocated the straight-out policy in this campaign, and demonstrated the advantages to be derived from such a programme. John Lilley,. the somewhat notorious ChesU-r criminal, who was recently dis? charged from the penitentiary by an order of the Supreme Court, has been again arrested?this time, by an order from Judge Mackey, on a charge of stealing a cow two years ago. Tribute of Respect. In memory of our highly esteemed and dearly beloved brother, THOMAS R. GA? RY, who was born the 19th day of Septem? ber, 1818, in Laurens County, S. C, and de? parted this life in Pickens County on the morning of the 1st day of May, at 5 o'clock, 1876. Our dear friend and brother in Christ was a strictly moralyoung man in his rais? ing and training. His father gave him what was termed a liberal education, and after he became a man, he took up the occupation of teaching school for a livelihood. He was highly esteemed by his employers as a teacher and a moral young man in his prin? ciples. After he was married and had a family of several children, he had the misfortune to lose one of his dear little ones, which sealed conviction upon his heart, and caused him to see and feel himself to be a lost and ruin? ed sinner in the sight of our blessed Jesus, and if he lived and died in that he must be inevitably lost and undone forever. So he at once commenced to seek Jesus in the par? don of his sins, and found Him in the con? version of his soul to be altogether lovely, and the chiefest among ten thousand Bro. Gary joined the Baptist Church at Ennn, in Pickens County, 8. C. on the 28th day of July, 1858. He was an ornament to his church from the day he joined it, up to the August term of his church, when he was licensed to exercise his gift in public by prayer, exhortation or otherwise, as he might choose. The church became satisfied he was a man of more than ordinary talent, and concluded to call a presbytery prepara? tory to his ordination. The presbytery con? sisted of Brethren James Wilson, of Ander? son County and W. B. Singleton, and John Arial, of Pickens. They met at Enon Church, August term of 1862, and ordained him to the ministry, to preach the Everlast? ing Gospel to a sinful and dying world. After his ordination he commenced the work with all his soul, mind and strength from that very day, with more than ordina? ry success; and we have no hesitancy in saying that we believe that he was the means, in the hands of his Heavenly Mas? ter, of bringing many souls into the church militant here on earth?both in the Army of Virginia and in the churches he bad the honor to supply, up to the day that he was attacked with the fatal disease which termi? nated his existence here on earth. At the regular conference meeting day at Enon, where the membership of our dearly beloved and much esteemed Bro. Thomas R. Gary, was held?June term. Whereas, we, the Church at Enon, feel it to be our indispensable duty to give a public expression of our grief at the death of our highly esteemed and dearly beloved Pastor of our Church at Enon. Be it, therefore, 1. Resolved, That we endeavor to submit to the will of our Heavenly Father in re? moving from our midst one that we knew to be one of the most faithful Ministers of Jesus, from the day of his ordination to,th? time of his death. 2. That we do most earnestly sympathize with his bereaved-wife and his dear chil? dren, and his only brother and sisters?we the Church at Enon desire to pray to Al? mighty God to support his bereaved family in this their hour of great trial. 3. That a blank page of our church-book be dedicated to his memory. 4. That the Church Clerk be requested to send a copy of these proceedings to the fam? ily of the deceased. 5. That the church and congregation be requested to wear the usual badge of mourn? ing on their left arm for thirty days. 6. That this church erect a Marble Monu? ment over the remains of our much be? loved and highly esteemed brother, Thomas R. Gary, and the other churches he had the honor to supply, are hereby requested to co-operate with us. Donations will be thankfully received. 7. That the Pickens Sentinel, Kcowee Cou? rier, Anderson Intelligencer, Greenville News, and Working Christian be requested to pub? lish these resolutions. ENON CHURCH. DURTEAS' SATIN GLOSS STARCH.

The Announcement Committee Wait upon Gov. Tilden?He Accepts the Nomination, The committee appointed by the St. Louis Convention to inform Gov. Tilden of his nomination for the office of Presi? dent of the United States met in New York on-the 12th inst., and proceeded to the discharge of the duty imposed upon them. The committee visited Gov. Tib den at his private residence in the city of New York, and were courteously wel? comed by Mr. W. T. Pelton, the private secretary of the Governor, who formally presented them to Mr. Tilden. He was personally acquainted with very many of the committee, and after a short time spent in social converse, the business of the visit was finally announced by Gen. McClernand, the chairman of the com? mittee, who outlined the work of the St. Louis Convention, and stated that the com? mittee appointed to wait upon him were present to perform a grateful service, and under its instructions he presented the following communication, which was read by the secretary of the committee, Mr. J. D. Harris, of Florida: address of THE COMMITTEr New York City, July 11. Governor Sam'I. J. Tilden : Sir: The undersigned, a committee of the National Democratic Convention which met at the City of St. Louis, Mo., on the 28th ult., consisting of its Presi? dent, and of one delegate from each State of the Federal Union, have been intrusted with the pleasant duty of waiting upon and informing you of your nomination by that body as the candidate of the Democratic party for the Presidency of the United States at the ensuing elec? tion. It is a source of great satisfaction to us, who but reflect the opinions of the mem? bers of the convention, that a gentleman entertaining and boldly advocating as you do and have done, those great meas? ures of national and State reform, which are an absolute necessity for the restora? tion of the national honor, prosperity and credit, should have been selected as our standard-bearer in the approaching contest. Your name is identified with the all-absorbing question of reform, reduc? tion of taxes and the maintenance of the rights of the laboring masses. The Democracy, in designatin? you as their chosen leader, do not feel that they are relying merely upon your pledges or promises of what vou will do in the event of your election ; your record of the past is our guarantee of your future course. "Having been faithful over a few things we will make you a ruler over many things." Accompanying this letter of notifica? tion, we also present you with the declar? ation of principles adopted by the con? vention. We have no doubt that you will recognize in this declaration measures of political policy which immediately con? cern the happiness and welfare of the entire people of this country, and we feel that your election to the Presidency will be a guarantee to their success, and it will be as much your pleasure to enforce and maintain them, if elected, as it was ours to give them the stamp of national representative approbation and approval in their adoption. Entertaining the hope that you will signify to us your accep? tance of the nomination which we have tendered you, and that you concur with the convention in their declaration of principle, we are, dear sir, your obedient servants, John A. McClernand, Chairman. gov. tilden's reply. The following is Gov. Tilden's response in full: Gen. McClernand, and Gentlemen of the Committee: J I shall, at my earliest convenience pre? pare and transmit to you a formal accep? tance of the nomination which you now tender me, in behalf of the Democratic National Convention ; and I do not de? sire, on this occasion, to anticipate any topic which might be appropriate to that communication. It may, however, be permitted to me to say my nomination was not a mere personal preference be? tween eminent citizens of this Republic, who might very well have been chosen for so distinguished an honor, and so august a duty. It was rather a declara? tion of that illustrious body in whose be? half you speak in favor of administrative reform, with which events had associated me in the public view. The strength, the universality and the efficiency of the demand for administrative reform in all governments, and especially in the ad? ministration of the Federal Government, with which the Democratic masses every? where were instinct, have led to a series of surprises in the popular assemblage and perhaps in the convention itself. It would be unnatural, gentlemen, if a pop? ular movement so genuine and so power? ful should stop with 3,600,000 of Demo? crats ; that it should not extend by con? tagion to that large mass of independent voters who stand between parties in our country, and even to the moderate portion of the party under whose administration the evils to be corrected have grown up, and perhaps in what we have witnessed, there may be an augury in respect to what we may witness in the election about to take place throughout our country. At least let us hope so, and believe so. I am not without experience of the difficulty and labor of effecting administrative re? form, when it requires a revolution in policies and in measures long established in government. If I were to judge by the year and a half in which I have been in the State Government, I should say that the routine duties of the trust I have had imposed on me are a small burden compared with that created by the at? tempt to change the policy of the Gov? ernment of which I have been the execu? tive head. Especially is this so where the reform is to be worked out with more or less of the co-operation of public offi? cers who either have been tainted with the evils to be redressed, or who have been incapacitated by the habit of toler? ating the wrongs to be corrected to which they have been consenting witnesses. I therefore if your choice should be ratified by the people at the election, should en? ter upon the great duties which would fall upon me, not as a holiday recreation, but very much in that spirit of consecra? tion in which the soldier enters battle. [Applause.] But let us believe, as I do believe, that we now sec the ? dawn of a better day for our country, and that diffi? cult is the work to which the Democratic party, with many allies, former members of other parties, has addressed itself, the Republic is yet to be renovated to live in all the future, and to be transmitted to succeeding generations as Jefferson con? tributed to form it in his day, and as it has been ever since, until a recent period, a blessing to the whole people and to all mankind. [Applause.] Gentlemen, I thank you for the very kind terms in which you made your com? munication, and I extend to you collec? tively and individually a most cordial greeting. The committee and their friends then entered into a social conversation as to the prospects of the coming canvass, and remained a short time in the hospitable mansion of the Governor. Death of an Estimable Lady.? The Camden Journal anuounces the death of Mrs. E. C. Kennedy, the wife of Gen. John D. Kennedy, who is well known to the citizens of Anderson. Mrs. Kennedy was a lady of uncommonly strong charac? ter, and universally beloved. ? The New York Sun. having received several letters asking what is Governor Tildeu's religion, informs it* correspond? ents aud the rest of mankind that it is the Christian religion ; that he is of the Presbyterian denomination; and that he has given proof of the sincerity of his faith by enforcing in the performance of his official duties that divine commnud ment, Thou shall not steal. SPECIAL NOTICES. A Flower that Changes its Color. Botany is a division of natural science which treats of plants, and a studv of Vegetable Phisioiogy must be the foun? dation-of botanical knowledge?a study only possible by the improvements in the microscope ana in organic chemistry. As plants are not scattered haphazard over the earth, botanical geography must be studied, and, with this, plant-history. Botany will be applied to the wants of every-day life, as in Agriculture, Horti? culture; or Medical Botany. Animals often exhibit a marvelous instinct in se? lecting medicinal herbs, and an observa? tion of their habits has often, even in the present time, led to most valuable discov? eries. And should man, with his knowl? edge and appliances, fail to discover less than the brute? It is of Medical botany we would speak, or of the HEPATINE PLANT, discovered in Southern Nubia, the Flower of which changes its color with every change of the atmosphere. The remarkable changes and variations of this Plant and Flower have been for years our special study, resulting in the discovery or its possession of wonderful medical properties, the existence and value of which have heretofore been en? tirely unknown to medical science. Af? ter much labor and scientific investiga? tion, we have succeeded in extracting its peculiar medicinal principles, which is a specific and cure for all diseases of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels; a perma? nent cure for Dyspepsia, Indigestion. Spleen, Constipation, Jaundice, and all Billious Complaints. Of course we can? not send a living Flower of this Plant to all who read of Hepatine; but to all who will send their address to Merrell & Couden, Philadelphia, Pa? with a three cent stamp for return postage, we will send Free a fac-simile of the Flower, that will change its color just the same as the real Hepatine Flower. The Medicine, MERRELL'S HEPA? TINE, for sale by Simpson & Sadler, Anderson, S. C, and will cure all diseases of the Liver. How Awfully Culpable Must be those afflicted with Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, or any disease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who neglect to use De. Tutt'b Expectorant after reading the following letter, written by one of the most estimable ladies in the South: Savannah, Ga., April 28,1872. Dr. Tutt?In gratitude for the benefit re? ceived by the use of your Expectorant, I do cheerfully add my testimony to its wonder? ful power in curing deep-seated coughs. For several years I suffered dreadfully with a cough, attended with great difficulty of breathing. I was induced to try your Ex {tectorant, and it gave almost immediate re ief. I took six bottles and am now perfect? ly restored. It is about five months since I began its use, and I have not had an attack since. It has been a great blessing to me; I cannot afford to be without it, ana heartily recommend it to all who have lung or throat disease. Very respectfully, Mrs. A. M. WELBORN. Is Your Life-Worth 10 Cents? Sickness prevails everywhere, and every? body complains of some disease during their life. When sick, the object is to get well; now to say plainly that no person in this world that is suffering with Dyspepsia, Liver Ceniplainfc and its effects, such as Indiges? tion, Costiveness, Sick Headache, Sour Stomash, Heart Burn, palpitation of the Heart, Depressed Spirits, Biliousness, <fec, can take Green's August Flower without getting relief and cure.
