Undressing Little Ned. "There is'Whisky Bill,' who used to drive that old white horse in front of a twenty-five cent express wagon?" re? peated the man in tone of surprise. "Yes." "Well, now, it's a curious case," he slowly continued. "We all thought he'd cone to the dogs, for sure, for he was drinking a pint of whisky a day, but a few months ago he braced right up, stop? ped drinking, and now I hear he's in Kd business and saving money. It ts all, for the last time I saw him he seemed half underground." When you go home at night and find that all is well with your own flesh and blood, do yon go to sleep reasoning that the world must care for itself? Do you ever shut your eyes and call up the hun? dreds of laces you have met daring the day, and wonder if the paleness of death will cover any of them before the mor? row? When you have been attracted to a face, even it be a stranger's, do you let it drop from memory with dreams, or do yon call it up again and again as night conies down, and hope it may not lose any of its brightness in the whirling mists of time ? So "Whi?ik7 Bill" was hunted down. An inquiry here and there finally traced him to a little brown cottage on a by? street. He sat on the step in tho twi? light, a burly, broad-shouldered man of fifty, and in the bonse three or four chil? dren gathered around a lamp to look at a picture book. "Yes, they used to call me 'Whisky Bill/ down town," be replied, as he moved along and made room, "but it's weeks since I hiard the name. No wonder they think me dead, for I've not set eyes on the old crowd for months, and I don't want to for months to come." "They tell me yon have quit drinking. One could see that by yonr face." "I hope so; I haven't touched a drop since February. Before that I was half drunk day in and day out, and more of a brute than a man. I don't mind saying that my wife's death set me to thinking, bat I didn't stop my liquor. God forgive me, bat I was drunk when shedied,half drunk at the grave, and I meaut to go on a regular spree that night. It was low down, sir, but I was no better than a brute those days." "And so you left your motherless chil? dren at home and went out and got drunk?" "No. I said I meant to, but I didn't The poor things were crying all day, and after coming home from the burial I thought to get 'em tacked away in bed before I went out. Drnnk or sobe r I never struck, one of 'em a blow, and they never ran from me when I staggered home. There's four of em in there and the youngest isn't quite four years yet. I got the elder ones in bed all right and then came little Ned. He had cried himself to sleep and he called for mother as soon as I woke him. Until that night I never had that boy on my knee, to say nothing of putting him to bed, and yon can guess these big fingers made slow work with the hooks and buttons. Ev? ery minute he kept saying his mother didn't do that way, and mother done this way, and the big children were hiding their heads nnder the quilts to drown their sobs. When I had his clothes off and his night-gown on I was ashamed and pat him down, and when the oldest saw tears in my eyes and jumped out of bed to pat ber arms aronnd my neck, I dropped the name of 'Whisky Bill' right then and forever." "And little Ned?" "Mebbe I'd have weakened, but for him," replied the man, as he wiped his eyes. After I got the child's night-gown on, what did he do but kneel right down beside me and wait for me to say the Lord's Prayer to him 1 Why, sir, you might of knocked me down with a feath? er! There I was, mother and father to bim, and I couldn't say four words of that prayer to save my lifo! He wait? ed for me to begin, as his mother always had, and the big children were waiting, and when I took him in my arms and kissed him, I called Heaven to witness that my life should change from that boor. And so it did, sir, and I've been trying hard to lead a sober, honest life. God helping, no one shall call me 'Whis? ky Bill' again." The four little children, little Ned in his nightgown, came out for a good-night kiss, and the boy cuddled in his father's arms for a moment and said: "Good night, pa?good-night, every? body in the world?good-night, ma, up in heaven?and don't put out the light 'till we get to slee'p 1"?Detroit Free Press._ How Two Yankees Behaved at Versailles.?Louis Blanc told the fol? lowing in a recent conference at Troyes: One day I arrived at Versailles before the opening of the session. An usher informed me that two persons wished to see me. I saw the visitors. They were two Americans of the purest Yankee type, who represented themselves to me as nnknown friends. They had read my books, they said, and wished particular? ly to see me. I thanked them, and then, thinking that they probably wished to attend a session, I offered them seats. "No," they said; "all we want is to see the chamber where the sessions arc held." I conducted them thither. As soon as they had entered, without even casting a rapid glance around to take in the ap? pearance of the chamber, they asked: "Could you show us M. Gambetta's seat?" Much surprised at this curiosity I nev? ertheless acceded to '-he desire of my Yankees, and pointed out to them the place where M. Gambetta, who bad not yet become the President of the Cham? ber, habitually sat. Thereupon the two Americans, on3 after the other, coolly, sedately, methodically, with closed lips, serious air and fixed looks, like men en? gaged in performing a grave duty and one demanding precision, sat down on the chair, rose and sat down again, one after the other, as if they were testing the firmness of the seat. Stupefied, I watched the scene, striving to under? stand this singular manner of visiting the Chamber of Deputies, when one of the Yankees asked me: "M. Louis Blanc, will you have the goodness to show us your seat, also?" Curious to watch their conduct at my scat, I led them to it. Without opening their lips, they went through the identi? cal performance, rising and reseating themselves, each one in his turn, like two gymnasts repeating an exercise. When it was over, each drew from his pocket a memorandum book, and wrote: "Chamber of Deputies, Versailles. Sat in the chairs of the Honorable Messrs. Gambetta and Louis Blanc, Deputies." ? The New York public are indig? nant at what they call a trick played on the Legislature by the milkmen. A bill was passed which pretends to bo a meas? ure to prevent adulteration of milk, but which contains an obscure little clause providing that it shall be unlawful to add anything to milk except ice to preserve it in transportation. A similar bill was Eassed twice before?once under Gov. ?ix's and once under Gov. Tilden's ad? ministration, and on each occasion vetoed. It gives an absolute license to adultera? tion without limit, for under it the milk? men may dilute their milk to any extent by adding water, in the shape of ice. Expressed theib Delight.?Thou? sands of ladies of refinement have ex? pressed their delight at finding such del? icate, fresh, flowery fragrance in Dr. Price's Unique Perfumes, ret Bcse, Al ista Bouquet, Evening Violet, and ,'iis other odors. Ladies and gentlemen of taste appreciate the sweetness of Dr. Price's Perfumes. Mistaking the Man. The somewhat striking resemblance of Hon. Oscar Turner, a Democratic mem? ber of Congress from Kentucky, to Mr. Robinson, the Chairman of the Repub lican Executive Committee of Ohio, re? sulted the other day in the exposure of the true character of the National View, a Greenback paper, the publication of which was commenced in Washington a few months ego. Mr. Lee Grandall, a Greenback writer of some notoriety, is the editor and proprietor of the soft money organ. Ever since the paper was started he has assailed both political parties as untrue to the cause of ''more money," and has urged the Nationals to have nothing to do with either?-to pre? serve their independence and thus ob? tain control of tne Government at the next election. When the Democrats of Ohio nominated General Ewing, a prom? inent advocate of the Greenback doc? trine, for Governor, it was generally be? lieved that the Nationals of the State would support the ticket. But Mr. Lee Grandall and the National View were vio? lent in their opposition to such an alli? ance, and insisted that the Nationals should put candidates of their own in the field and prepare for a triangular con? test. It was and is apparent to every one that in a campaign of this character the third party has no chance of success. All that it can do is to take a few thousand votes from the Democracy, and injure the party to that extent But the course so zealously advocated by Mr. Lee Gran? dall and the National Viao was adopted. The Ohio Nationals met in convention, decided not to support General Ewing and put a full ticket in the field. One wing of the party, however, recognized the utter folly of the movement and called another convention to meet in To? ledo for the purpose of repudiating what bad been done at Columbus. Against this Toledo meeting Mr. Lee Grandall and the National View directed their heaviest batteries. They did not for a moment wish to contribute to the success of Mr. Foster and the hard money Re? publicans, but the financial declarations of the Democratic platform were not pro? nounced enough for them, and they had good reason to believe that the people of ibio would rise in their might at the next election, defeat both Democrats and Republicans and place the State in the hands of the apostlea of the true faith. The absurdity - of such expectation was apparent bat people have some respect for men who profess to be battling for principle, and the National organ and its editor were regarded as sentimentalists who preferred no bread to half a loaf. But tne remarkable resemblances of Mr. Turner to Mr. Robinson, alfeded to in the beginning of this article, has caused the editor of the National View to appear in a very different light Mr. Robinson has not been long in Washington and is not very well known to Hon. J. A. Hub bell, of Michigan, the Chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee. Nor does Mr. Hubbell know Mr. Turner. Mr. Robinson had, in some mysterious way, been made free of the floor of the House. Mr. Turner has for some time been using a crutch, but the other morn? ing entered the House without this aid to locomotion. While passing the Repub? lican side of the Chamber on the way to his seat, very much to his surprise he was accosted by a gentleman who said he de? sired to speak with him. We now let Mr. Turner tell the story: "Stepping back a few paces, he asked me if I knew the editor of the Green? back paper on Pennsylvania avenue. I told him I did not remember him. He remarked that he was "rendering us great or valuable service in Ohio and Ken? tucky; that he had attended the convention in Ohio and was instru? mental in preventing a fusion be? tween the Democrats and Greenbackers and that he was sending thousands of his papers into Kentucky and Ohio, and making inroads into the Democratic party and doing us much good." He said: "We are aiding him, and it re? quires a good deal of money, and I would like that you would aid bim." I asked him what was the editor's name. He pulled a card out of his pocket and said : Lee Grandall." I looked at him with surprise and made no reply. He then asked me to take the matter under con consideration and aid him if I could, and turned around and walked off." When the Democratic member from Kentucky recovered from his surprise he asked an acquaintance standing by the name of the gentleman with whom he bad been talking, and was informed that the drummer for the National organ was no less a person than Mr. Hubbell, the Chairman of the Republican Congression? al Committee. The fortunate mistake has fully revealed the true character of the National View and its editor, and their earnest advocacy of a third ticket in Ohio is fully explained. They are sim? ply paid by the Republicans to attempt to divide the Democracy and bring about a Republican victory. After this expos? ure, however, they will not have much influence with the Greenbackers of Ohio or of any other State."?Augusta Chron? icle and Constitutionalist. Man as a Bonnet Buyer.?"New bonnet, new bonnet? $12 for a new bon? net!" exclaimed Mr. Slick the other evening, as his wife suggested a change from the winter styles. "Yes, only ?12," she humbly replied. "S12 for a bonnet is a confounded out? rage, and I know it!" he went on.? "Why, I can buy two fine silk hats for that money, and have some strawberry change left!" It's a dead swindle to ask $12 for a bonnet" "Well, I can't do better, Mr. Slick. That's the price, and I must pay or go without" "You don't know how to buy?that's what ails you?" he growled. "I'll bet money I can buy a $12 bonnet for $8. It's all iu knowing how to handle the sales? men." "I wish you'd trv it," she suggested. "I will, by George! I will! I'll bring yon up a new bonnet in the morningana I'll gel it $4 cheaper than you dare to 1" Mr. Slick was as good as his word. He went into a millinery store next fore? noon with his eye-teeth all sharpened, and with the idea in bis mind that every bonnet in the store was priced at exactly $12. He looked around a little, selecting a bonnet that pleased him, and pointing his cane at it and calling up his deepest voice, he inquired: "Are you asking $12 for that bonnet!" The woman flushed, looked from the bonnet to the man, and was trying to re? ply, when he said: "These are not the times for outrageous prices, and all buyers realize it I'll give you $8 for that bonuet, and not a cent more.' "That?that bonnet?" "$8, and no more!" he interrupted; and she put the article in a box and took his money. "What'dl tell my wife, ch?" he whis? pered, as he went out. "I tell you it takes a man to buy goods, no matter whether it's fence posta or paper cam brie!" When he sat down at home and took the cover oS the box and held up the bonnet, Mrs. Slick inquired: "How much did she charge you ?" "$8. madam; while you would have paid $12!" "Richard 1" 6he said, as she tried to laugh all over at once, "I was with the lady next door when she ordered that bonnet for her cook, and the price was to be $4. You see, it?" He held up his finger, counted three fives out of his wallet, and left them ou a chair for her.?Detroit Fice Press Children cry for it, but they stop crying at once, after they have taken a single dose, as Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup cures all the pains our little ones are subject to. Price 25 cents a bottle. Cyclones.?Mr. Barham, in Nature, concludes that "a cyclone is occasioned by the meeting and passing each other of a northerly and southerly current, so that they pass each other on the left hand respectively." Supposing this to be true for the northern hemisphere, we must for the southern hemisphere sub? stitute right hand for left. There is nothing in this contrary to dynamical principles, but the facts of the geographical disposition of cyclones ap? pear to show that the eddies or whirls in which they originate are formed, not by north and south currents passing each other, but by the same meeting each other; tha^ is to say, in the zone where the north and south trade winds meet, when this zone is at some distance from the equator. Cyclones are not formed in or near the equator, because there the earth has no rotation relatively to an axis drawn vertically to its surface. Mr. Blanford has written in Nature, showing that Mr. Barham has not ac? counted for the motive power of the cy? clone, and explaining it by the libera? tion of latent heat from the condensation of vapor in an ascending current at the center of the cyclone. This explanation was the first given by Espy in his "Phi? losophy of Storms," and is certainly true. But the two questions are quite distinct, viz: Whatsets the cyclone going? and, How is it supplied with motive power? Three conditions are ueedtul for the formation of a cyclone?first, an eddy produced where currents of air meet; second, sufficient "steam power of the atmosphere," as Espy calls it, to produce a strong in-draft to the center of the eddy; third, a position sufficiently far from the equator for the currents of air towards :he center to be sensibly deflec? ted by the earth's rotation. But how is the in-draft first set up? I reply, by the centrifugal force of the eddy causing a barometic depression at its center, whence follow cold, the con? densation of vapor, and the liberation of heat which has been latent. The liber? ated heat expands the air in the upper strata, thus supplying the motive power of the cyclone.?J. J. Murphy in Na? ture. A Romance of the Northwest.? Eleven years ago, the daughter of W. B. Wallace?a little girl of seven years? was abducted from her father's house, in Portland, Oregon. Wallace searched high and low for her, and though he felt certain that her mother from whom he was separated, had taken her, there was no clew as to her whereabouts. One day recently the father was surprised to receive a dainty, perfumed missive, ad? dressed in a neat hand. He was still more surprised when the words "My dearest father," met his eye. He read through his tears that his Lillian was living with her mother at Yakima, and that she had determined to reconcile her parents or to live first with the one and then with the other. She said her moth? er put her in the Sisters' school at Van? couver, and that she had been educated there. Wallace remembered that he had been a policeman at Vancouver during a part of the time mentioned by his daughter, and had- passed a thousand timiSUnler the shadow of the school. He hastened to Yakima, and it was agreed that there should be a reconcilia? tion. Miss Lillian is a handsome young lady of eighteen now, and the part she played in the romance makes her the heroine of Portland and*of the far North? west._ Miss D?er at Home.?The New York Herald's correspondent at Snow Hill, Maryland, telegraphs as follows: "Miss Lillie Duer, who was released from imprisonment Friday, arrived at Poco moke City that evening, and was received with demonstrations of joy by her friends, who called upon her at her father's house. In taking leave of a gentleman who drove her home from Snow Hill, and who bad expressed a polite wish to see her again whenever she visited that town, she said: 'I never want to see Snow Hill again ; I am done with courts and pistols forever.' It will be remembered that the pistol with which she shot Ella Hearn was bought in Snow Hill. As soon as Judge Wilson passed sentence upon the prisoner, her lawyers entered into recognizance for the fine, and her friends passed a paper around for subscriptions to help the father pay the money, his slender means having been exhausted by the expenses of the trial. Two hun? dred dollars was raised in Snow Hill and vicinity in a few hours, and the remain? der will be subscribed in Pocomoke." Organizing a World's Fair.?The citizens' committee of the proposed World's Fair to be held in New York held a meeting Monday evening. The sub-committee on organization and clas? sification recommended first, that the proposed World's Fair be held in the city of New York in 1883; second that it be held under the direction of one organ zation, be created by act of Congress, consisting of commissioners from the dif? ferent States and Territories, and from the city of New York and other promi? nent cities of the United States, giving a sufficient number to New York city to constitute and effective working execu? tive committee; third, that this report be submitted to the National convention called to meet in New York. The report was adopted and referred to the National convention. Mr. H. G. Stebbins was elected permanent president. The chair? man stated that already fifteen States, eighteen cities and fourteen commercial organizations, representing 176 del? egates, had intimated their intention of being represented at the convention. The convention is now in session.

The Texas Governor Requested to RESIGN.?An indignation meeting of over 1,000 citizens was held at Houston, Texas, June 20, to denounce Governor Roberts for commuting the death senten? ces of the murderer Coward and the rap? ist Fields. The crowd was addressed by several gentlemen, when resolutions were read by F. A. Small expressing utter con? tempt for Governor Roberts, denouncing him as the aider and shielder of murder? ers and assassins, asserting that he had deceived and lost the confidence of the people, and ending by demanding that Governor Koberts, if he has any manhood left, resign a position he has disgraced by prostituting it to the aid and comfort of murderers and assassins. The resolu? tions were unanimously adopted. Three groans were given for Governor Roberts, whose name was hissed and hooted whenever mentioned. Doughnuts.?If you desire doughnuts that are the nicest and richest you ever ate, make them from Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, according to the direc? tions on the can.

Williams, the Charleston millionaire, was a young man, he became a partner in a wholesale grocery house in Augusta, Ga. The sale of liquors was a leading feature and principal part of the busi? ness carried on by the firm. The thing went on until the death of a man was traced to a barrel of whiskey that had gone out of that establishment. Being well grounded in tho principles of religion and temperance, Williams was shocked and distressed by the sad even and determined to free himself from fut, ther complicity in the liquor trafic. He put his foot down on that brauch of the busi iness, and declared that no more liquor should be sold by the firm of which he was a member. Friends remonstrated, alleging that the house chiefly made its money through the sale of liquors, and that if this traffic were discontinued the concern would break. Williams stood firm, the sale of liquors was abandoned, but the business of the house, instead of declining, increased. Williams after? wards removed to Charleston, aud has been steadily prosperous, until lie ranks among the richest men of the South.? Exchange. A Warning to Cotton Planters.? It may be well for planters to remem? ber that if they arc in position to hold their crop during the months of Septem? ber, October and November, they have absolute control of the market, and it may happen that all this gambling which has been going on may result in high prices and profitable markets. If the gold men have really turned their atten? tion to cotton speculation, as seems to be evident, the only substantial thing about the whole business will be the cool and conservative farmer who is able to hold bis cotton until such time as may be to his interests to place it upon the market. The speculators may have the power to run the price of the staple down or to raise it up, and it may happen that their madness may sometimes affect the inter? ests of the producer unfavorably, but their influence is only temporary, and, in any event, it is not often the case that the planters suffer when the market is active. Fortunate for them if they have so arranged their affairs as to be able to watch the antics of the speculators with indifference until the figures offered jus? tify them in turning their crop loose among the wild gamblers of Wall street. ?Atlanta Constitution. The Blue and the Gray.?Two of the illicit distillers tried at this term of the United States Court were soldiers in the war. One, Joe Lewis by name, a noted moonshiner of North Carolina, was in the Confederate army; the other, Henry Wildner of this county, was a Union soldier. While in prison await ing trial, they indulged in many politi? cal discussions over the "unpleasant? ness." Colonel John C. Summers was employed as counsel in both cases. When the sentences were being passed, Wildner requested the Colonel to call the attention of the Judge to the fact that he bad been a true and faithful Union soldier, which was done. The Judge replied that "for that reason he should have been a better citizen," and sentenced him to the Penitentiary for one year. Lewis, the more notorious of the two, got off with one month in jail. Turning to Lewis, Wildner said, "I don't see why he sent me to the Pen? itentiary and not you." "That was be? cause you was a d-d Yankee," replied Lewis, "and he oughter hung you for't." All around joined in a good laugh. ?Ab ingdon (Vt.) Standard. ? At the funeral of the late Baron Lion? el de Bothchild the first three spadefuls of earth were thrown in by the eldest son of the deceased, "so that he might fulfil the duty of burying his dead." The other kinsmen followed in their order, then members of the congregation. Au the coffin was lowered into the grave those present joined in the words: "May he come to his appointed place in peace," and plucked a few blades of grass before they left, saying in acknowledgment of the resurrection : "And they shall blos? som forth from the ruins like the dust of the earth." ? This is the view taken of it by an infant of St. Joseph, Missouri: Little Freddie was undergoing the disagreeable operation of having his hair combed by his mother, and he grumbled at the manuvre. "Why, Freddie," said mama, "you ought not to make such a fuss. I don't fuss and cry when my hair is combed." "Yes," replied the youthful party, "but your hair ain't hitched to your head 1" ? When Mr. Wm. Lloyd Garrison died I looked for a report of his will to see how much money he had left the African brother for whom his heart bled and his jawbone had no Sunday. That instru? ment has been made public, and not a cent does he leave for any negro. This is the old, old story?the story that George Canning told so inimitably in "The Needy Knife grinder and the Friend of Humanity." ? A North Carolina man got tired of life, and went out in the stable and hung himself with a blind bridle. Just as he was about bringing his last gasp a neigh? bor opportunely passed, and seeing his peril promptly cut him down. Ah, said the would-be suicide, why didn't you let me alone; in two minutes I'd been in heaven. Yes, dryly remarked the other, you'd play thunder in heaven with a blind bridle on 1 ?

During a thunderstorm recently a book agent and a mule got caught in the rain, and they sought refuge in an out? building, where the owner of the house happened to be, and when the coroner's jury came to find a verdict, they were un? able to say whether the owner of the house got struck by lightning, kicked by the mule, or talked to death by the book agent. ?

McLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER FILLS, for THE CURE of Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, dyspepsia and sick headache. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres? sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe? tite and sickness; the bowels in gen? eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem? ory, accompanied widi a painful sen? sation of having left undone some? thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa? tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer? cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex? isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Acue and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the rr.ost happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are unequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine arc never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dk.

I have been confined to my room and bed for llf tccn years with scrofulous ulccrations. The most approved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, with? out any decided benefit. Thus prostrated, dis? tressed, desponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd County, Ga., to commence the use of your Compound Extract Stillingia. Language is as in? sufficient to describe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an adequate idea of the Intcusltyof my suffering before using your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Ex? tract of Stillingia, until I can sav truly, "I am cured of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to obstruct the active pursuitof my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this re? markable cure, without any return of tlie disease. For the truth of the nliovc statement, I refer to any gentleman In Bartow County, tia., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who arc acquainted with inc. I shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, your obedient servant, J. C. BRANSON, Alt'y at Law. A MIRACLE. West Point, Ga., Sept. lfi, 187(1. Gents?My daughter was taken on the 23th dny of June, 1863, with what was supposed to be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pieces of bone be? gan to work out of the right arm, and continued to appear till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder Joint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. Tbo case was then pronounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless, I was induced to try Dr. Pembcrton's Compound Extract of Stillin? gia. and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her lied about six years before she sat up or even turned over with? out help. She now sits up all day. and sews most Of her time?has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and 1 bdleve she will, as bcr limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your Invaluable medicine.
