Ways OTer the Farm.
Others may acquire a right of way over
?our farm in either one of thrco modes :
ot, By purchase or grr it from you. 2d,
By long continued use or prescription.
Sd, By actual necessity. As to thc first
method, to gain a permanent right by
purchase or graut, it must have been by
a regular and complete deed, executed
in the Hame way as a deed of the land
itself. If tho bargain was only oral, or
if lt was even in some simple written pn
fier, but not in a formal deed under seal,
t would, even though fully paid for, be
in law revocable-a mere license r.i it is
called-and might bo terminated at the
mere wish of the laud-owner, by a notice
io ibo ui?ier l'u??y to ??? il nc longer.
Being a kind of interest in land, tbr
strict law requires it to be conveyed by fl
deed.
2. Tiie second mode, by prescription,
requires longth of time-twenty year-, ai
least; and tho way must have been used
continuously, peaceably, and under a
claim of right to do so, and not by your
permission or consent. If it was only
very rarely used, if it was not peaceably
used, but against your protest, or if used
by your tacit consent, thc uso would not
ripen into a legal right, however long ,
continued. And, if used under all those
conditions, it mus' have been in some
regular and uniform place. No man
can gain a right by such means to wan
der over your farm just where ho bas a
mind to or wbero bis convenience s '.its
bim. That would bo an intolerable bur
den to tho farmer.
To gaiu this right by twenty years' usc,
it ia not necessary that any ono owner
s .cv. ld have traveled it twenty years. If
successive owneis have unitedly used
i? for that period, it would bo sufficient
so far as length of timo is concerned.
And if this prescriptive righ >f way was
?;aiucd only by using it for njmo particu
nr purposo, as for carting wood from a
wood-lot beyond, that wonld not author
ize tho person to continuo to uso it for all
purposes, after the wood bad been cut off j
and it bad been covered over with buil
dings.
3. Tho third modo, by necessity, arises
when you sell a man a back lot, with no
mcaus for him to set to any highway,
except over your i-mailling land. Tho
law givcB him a right to cross your land
to and fro ; otherwise his land would be
useless. At present ho can't reach it by
balloon to nny practicable purposes, and,
therefore, ho must cross your land. So,
if you sell a man all your front land re
taining tho back part sold, you retain n
right to cross tho lot sola, though your
deed in such caso says nothing about it ;
and this is so, oven if in your deed you
warrant tho land lo be free and clear
from all incumbrnncos. It ls a familiar
maxim that "necessity knows no law."
^ But tho right of way by necessity con
tinues only so long nc tho necessity itself
contiuues; and if a highway is after
wards laid out touching the back land
on the otherside, or if tho owner after
wards buys a lot adjoining it and bo
trreen it and a highway, b*?-""" i??Wvj?**
ger croBS over your ' i,0m,aU t-n/> i "
must KO out the '^pp* in0 U
il-~H i m li n?&"^ " must go
in such placo as you designate, if it bo a
reaaonablo place. If you mark out a
road or a way along the fence, or ou the
poorer ground, bo should conflue himself
to that. And if the way becomes miry
or out of repair, be must keep it in good
?condition it be wants to uso it. Your
duty is done when you allow bim to
cross ; you aro not obliged to smooth his
pathwuy for him, and rake out the stick?
and stones. But if you actually obstruct
lils usual road, or If it becomes suddenly
impaasablo by natural causes, ho would
bave a right to deviato to one sido until
ho has opportunity to romovo tho ob
structions.
All Ruch rights of way arc apt to be
uutsauccs to tho farmer,' nnd not un fre
quently lead to litigation.
It is important to know that, in what
ever mode a right of way Is acquired
over your land, you bave ordinarily a
right, in the absence of any stipulation
to tbe contrary, to erect suitable gates or
bars at the entrances thereto from tho
highway; and if the other pnrty leave
them open, and cattle get in, or yours got
out, bo is liable to you for tho damage
which ensues.
ITio Crecnejed Monster.
Mr. Kroegcr wis tranquil y eating his
breakfast a morning or so u*,o, when bis
boy broke tho silence by asking bim for
fifty ceuts to co to tho lUinBtrels with that
night. Mr. Kroeger promptly refused ou
the ground of hard times.
Mr. Krocgcr'a boy is more than a boy,
and when be sets his heart on having
anything bo generally succeeds in get
ting it; so, when his father refused to
comply with his request, he moved over
by his mother, and said :
'I guess I'll tell ma what the cook said
to you last night.'
Sire. Kroeger's eyes flashed Uko balls
offlre.
' You'io a nice man,' she said sarcasti
cally, 'to como homo and pot mo, and
kiss mo, and call me your little dew
gemmed tulip, and then go and roccive
the caresses of the cook. You miserable,
frog-oyed runt, for two pins I'd go
over there and rako the eyes out of
you !'
'I am P stammered the lord of tho man
or when his wife broko in
'Oh, yrs, I'll I tm youl' and turning
to tho boy she demanded au explanation
of the whole affair.'
.Will you give mo CO conta ?'
'Yes, she responded, 'what did she
say?'
'Give mu 50 cents fii.it?' said tho young
hopeful. 'I'm opening tho year on the
O. O. D. principle.'
He soon had the money, and relieved
his mother by telling her :
'Last night the cook carno up to pop
and got pretty close to bim and
'Oh, you wretch,' hissed Mrs. Krue
ger.
'And when she got beside bim she
smiled very sweetly, and said :
Tho boy moved cautiously toward tho
door, and his mother yelled :
'Come, dut with it r
.And when the cook got pretty close to
him, she whispered:
'Mr. Kroeger, the potatoes aro getting
pretty low, and you had better get anoth
er barrel in a day or two.'
And then tho boy got outside as fast tut
possible, while bis mother sank into a
chair. Mr. Kroeger lifted tho morning
paper before bb) face to vail the smilo
which made it look like a calcium light.
Qwvj.T'MoBAr QUESTION.-"Didn't
you know yon were lying when you said
your mistress was out?" asked the Jndge
of a servant girl in a New York court.
"Yes, I did," was the reply ; "but it is
the custom with all ladies ; they are al
ways out to some people." It would have
boon most unfair tied tbe servant been
held in any way responsible. It was not
her Ho at all. and it is doubtful if the lie
waa anybody's. L?e is not the word for it.
Beine "out" means often simply en
gagea. It is a necessary equivocation.
Without it we would be "at sixes and
sevens" all tho while. Kef use to see a
visitor and you make her your enemy.
Say yon are out and abo is not offended.
She may suspect tbe ruso for she prac
tices it herself, but she can not know it.
The uncertainty saves her feelings and
keeps your friend.-F?rneyrg Ftogrtu.

A IIuDion Electric Battery.
Bondon (Ont.) Advertiser.
We have been favored with the details
of one of tho strangest cases of which we
ever hcatd, and one which is sure to ex
cite a good deal of interest among medi
cal men. Tho particulars of the case aro
givon below:
lt seems that about two years since a
duughtcr of Mr. Richard Clare, Caroline
by name, and then seventeen years of
agc, living in lot No. 2-3, on the second
concession of Rodney was taken ill.
Her disease could not bo correctly diag
nosed, and bod many pecu'tur feature?.
Her appetite fell oil*, and she lost flesh
till from a strapping girl of I "JO pound?
weight she barely weighs eighty-seven
pounds. There did not neem to be any
organic complaint. Thu bodily functions
vre rc not impaired, and, although she
ate less than formerly, thc (ailing oil' in
this respect was not such as in itself
would alarm ber fri'uds. After the
lapse of a few months shu took to
her bcd. Then it was that a change
took placo in her mental condition.
Formerly she wa noted rather for luck
of conversational powers, but now fits
or spasms would come over ber, on the
Cassing away of which her eye? would
ecomo set and glazed, her body almost
rigid, and while in that state sue would
discourse eloquently, mid give vivid des
criptions of far off scenes, exceeding in
their beauty anything which shu had ever
soen, or presumably ever read of. < hi tho
passing away of this state she exhibited a
great degree of lassitude and indisposi
tion to move, and was taciturn and surly
in reply to any questions. This contin
ued till about a month since, when an
extraordinary change occurred. The
girl, although still not gaining flesh, ap
peared to rally, aha became light-heart
ed and gay, and her friends anticipated
an early rclensc for her from thc room to
which ?be had been confined so long.
Their expectations were not in vain, for
abo is now about thc housu apparently
aa well bodily as ever. Rut a most re
markable development bas taken place.
She is constantly giving oir electrical
discbarges, and seems to bu a perfect
battery. A person, unless possessed of
tho very strongest nerves, can not
shake hands with her, nor can any one
nineo bis hand in a pail of water with
nor. By joining hands she can scud a
sharp shock through fifteen or twenty
people in a room, mid she possesses all tho
j attraction of a magnet. If she attempts
! to pick up n knife tho blade will jump
into her hand, and a paper of needles will
hang suspended from one of ber fingers.
So strongly developed is this electrical
power that she can not release from her
touch any article of stool which she may
havo taken up. Tho only method yet
found is for a second party to take hold
of thc article and pull while thc girl
strokes her own arm vigorously from tho
wrist upward. On her entering a room
a perceptible iiifiuenco seizes bold of all
others, and while ?orno arc affected to
sleepiness others uro ill and fidgety till
they leave, and even for a considerable
timo afterward. A sleeping babo wil'
wake un with a start at ber upproac' ^

and a pct dog of the household will lio
for hourd nt her feet as motionless as
in death. A curious part of tho phe
nomena is tho fact that tho electricity
can bo imparted by ber to any article
with which she habitually comes in COU
tact. Tho other day a younger sister,
whiiu doing the housework, took up a
pair of corsets belonging to Caroline, and
on ber band touching tho steel was com
pelled to drop them with a loud cry and
an exclamation to tho effect that sho bad
run n needle into her finger. Wooden
spoons havo had to be mado for ber as
sho cannot touch metal. Altogether thu
casj is a most remarkable ono, and at
tracts scores of visitors to the house of
Mr. Clare. Medical men aro especially
intorestcd themselves, and it hus been
stated that Dr. Tyo of Thamcavillo will
read a paper on tho subject nt thc meet
ing of tho Provincial Medical Associa
tion, which is to bo bold in London in
the courso of this summer. Mr. Clare is
tho father of a family of seven children,
nono of whom except Caroline show any
abnormal qualities.

After Years of Suffering, .
Mrs. Elizabeth Mock, of Salem, N. C.,
writes under dato of March 26th, 1878,
that she suffered for many years with
dyspepsia, complicated with neuralgia.
The pain was so severe that she could
not rest day or night. Several physi
cians attended ber without benefit, or
even relief. She was considered incura
ble. By reading the People's Common
Sonso Medical Advisor, she learned that
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.. successful
ly prescribed his Golden Medical Dis
covery in Bitch coses. Sho commenced
its use. The pain gradually subsided
and digestion became more natural. She
Srsovercd, and in a few weeks was per
:tly and permanently restored. Her
caso is a wonder to all who know ber. In
the face of such testimony, is it not fool
ish to condemn Dr. Pierce's Family
Medicines, simply because some almost
unknown nostrum bas failed ? Suppose
you have purchased shoddy goods of one
or two merchants, is lt fair to condemn
all merchants as swindlers, and all goods
as shoddy? Those who once try Dr.
Pierce's I araily Mcdiciuo ever afterwards
speak in their praise.
- It is stated that Salem, N. C., * sinai
town, bas shipped, during three years'
over three millions of pounds of dried
bli^kterries, for which lt received $450,

A CONVENIENT "MONOPOLY.??
About UK" Koullicrn Kxprcs? Company
It? Work lu the Western Epidemic of
1878.
From (hr Atlanta /;/</</< .
A privntc correspondent asks us if we
do not think tho .Southern Ex pre?) Com
pany needs a? much "nt ir ring up" as the
l'uliman Cur Company, or any other mo
nopoly, on the score ol oppressive charges
for transportation, &c?
We are glad to record our answer to
ihe above, for while it is a pleasure to us
to pitch into mean and oppressive mo
nopolists, we do not desire the reputa
tion of being indiscriminate "editorial
bulldozers! so to our friend's inquiry,we
emphatically say-No, sir, tee do not. The
.Southern Express Company has to com
pete with the United .States ?rail service
(?ii small packages, and with all tiie va
rious freight companies on '.he more
bulky parcels. And, again, the Express
Company insure* against and promptly
pays all losses; whereas, goods lost or
stolen in Hie mails arc never made good
to the owner. Our experience as exten
sive shippers and patrons of tho Southern
Express Company, entitle our opinions
to some weight in this matter, and our
honest conviction is that tho South
ern Express Company is as honestly and
ably managed, and doing as good work
for the commercial interest of the coun
try, as any organization In the United
States. What their profits III y be, or
what salaries they may pay their ctn
ployes, wc do not caro to know; but
this we do know: positions in the compa
ny are sought for, and, when obtained,
are kept by as fine a lot of men as can be
found in the country. And, when good
services have bceu rendered and misfor
tune; accident, sickness or old age over
take a servant, bis treatment at the
hau 's of this company, as a rule, is an
honor to humanity, and a crown of glory
in the eyes of nil who love their race.
( 'ammcnts of the Memphis Appeal.
The above, from the Atlanta Southern
?ilude, will be endorsed by every mer
chant and business mau in the South
who values dispatch and safety in thc
transmission of merchandise or money.
The Southern Express Company is un ab
solute necessity to American business
men. It is ns much an evidence of
growth in i\ place that there is un Ex
press ollie*? as a telegraph or postollice.
When tho facilities that are afforded
are taken into consideration, the fact
that small way stations, ns well as large
cities, aro promptly served by the Ex
press Company, and that the poorest as
well as tho richest have the best guaran
tees of faithful service or rcimburament
in ca^o of loss, without cavil or delay
few who are intelligent enough to appre
ciate will gainsay thc fact that the South
ern Express Company is worthy the confi
dence which the public have in it. Vnt
ourselves, we cannot ?VnOK of the epi
demic/^ 1H78 without recalling thc geno
rosily 'this rWporatlnn, which through
p'*^T ^filing dful days carried to all the
' JgkVniove t,H ""^ cities <>i ibo South,
WOK his sci'T um' without price, food,
rfOuon yestor,'n? medicines. To say
/foi big etVp. wurk it lost moro than the
. r ..<. ui a year is putting it mildly.
I The Charleston (tailroad sunk one hun
dred and tilly thousand dollars during
those dark days of horror. The South
ern Express Company running on all the
roads of thc stricken States, must have
lost oven more. It kept all itsomployees
under pay, ran its messongers every ?loy,
and maintained all the machinery usual
in tho most prosperous days, and all lo
succor and save tho communities that
were thc helpless victims of a dreadful
plague. We have heard of soulless corpo
rations, but the Southern Express Com
pany is not ono of them. We feel that
wo owe it a debt qf gratitude, and do not
propose to pay by undermining and lev
elling it to tho earth. It is, as we have
said, a public necessity, as much so as
the postollice department, and we hope it
will long continue an example of what
honest and properly conducted corpora
tions ought to bo.
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE
Bl.lND.-The organ of vision is consid
ered the most delicate organization of
the human frame ; yet many have
been enabled to sej by surgical opera
tions, and the following is tin interesting
fact concerning ono of that class: A
youth had become thirteen years of age
when his eye:, wero touched by a sur
geon. Ho I lought scarlet the most beau
tiful color; black was painful. Ho fan
cied every object touched him, and ho
could not distinguish by sight what bo
perfectly well knew by feeling; for in
stanco, tho cat and dog. When bis sec
ond eye was touched, bo romarked that
the objects wero not sa large in appear
ance to this as to tho one opened nt first.
Pictures bo considered only partly col
ored surfaces, und a miniature absolutely
astonished bim, seeming to him like
putting a bushel into a pint. Stanly,
tho organist, and many blind musicians,
have been thu best performers of their
time; nnd a school-mistress in England
could discover that the boys were play
ing in a distant corner of the room in
stead of studying, although a person
using his eyes could not detect tho
slightest Bound. Prof. Sanderson, who
was blind, could in a few minutes, tell
how many persons were in a mixed com
pany, and of each sex. A blind French
lady could danco in figure dances, sew,
and thread her own needle. A blind
man in Derbyshire, England, bnu actual
ly been a surveyor and plnnner of roads,
bis ear guiding him ns to distance as ac
curately as the eyo to others ; and the
late Justice Fielding, wdio waa blind, on
walking into a room for thu first time,
after speaking n few words, said : "This
room is twenty-two feet long, eighteen
wido and twelve high." All of which
was true.
DANIEL WEBSTER'S FIRST PLEA.
When Daniel Webster nud his brother
Ezekiel wero boy on their futher's farm
in New Hampshire, they were greatly an
noyed one year by ravages of the squir
rels, and tiaps wore set to catch them.
Ezekiel brought tho first capturo to tho
house in triumph, and was, boy like,
cager to kill him st euee, as a punish
ment for his misdeeds, or to main bit?
prisoner for ii io in a cago; but Daniel
would consent to neither sentence-ho
wanted to set the poor, frightened little
crcaturo free. Tho dispute waxed warm,
and tho boys appealed to their father.
He proposed to hold a court and have
the squirrel tried, Ezekiel appearing for
tho prosecution, Daniel for tho defense.
This was a grand idea. Tho court was
organized in tho family sitting-room,
with tho father on tho bench. Ezekiel
did his very best. Ho enlarged upon the
iniquities of tho squirrel and tho neces
sity for punishment, and supposed ho had
covered tho whole ground. But Daniel
rose, his young faco lighted with cnthu
siam, and his young heart full of pity
for tho helpless creature whose life ho
was to plead for. Boy as ho was, he
poured out such a flood of eloquent
speech on tho beauty and worth of life,
even to a squirrel, on tho great wrong of
imprisonment for an unsconscious of
fense, and on the charm of freedom, that
when ho sat down his hearers wiped
the tears from their eyes. The prosecutor
was the first to deliver tho little prisoner,
and Daniel and Ezokicl set no more
traps.

Rescued From Bear?.
It i? well known among a certain elana
that "Joo Beel" ha? a bear pit under
hi? canteen on common street, lt ex
tends all along under the house and is
reigned over by a big black hour weigl -
ing over 400 pounds. There aro also a
sho bear and two comparatively young
cubs, which Joe reckous among bia do
mestic pets. Strungera frequently visit
the placo and aro generally escorted to
to sec tlic bears through a trap door in
the tloor. Yesterday afternoon, while
a colored preaclar was holding service
in the "singing room," three American
strangers came to \isit the place and the
traj) door wai thrown open to show the
bears. While Joe went into the bear
room his little boy six years old, went
too near thc edge and fell into thc den.
The old bears were in a dari: corner, but
ono of the cubs at once ran towards the
child, who uttered a frightened scream.
The cook lay down on thc floor and
reaching caught the little fellow and
raised him up. Thc she hear had heard
the child's cries and with a growl rushed
towards the trap door and seized the
child just as he was being lifted up.
Tho little fellow was in an instant drag
ged into the don, encircled by the claws
of tho old she bear. Joe nearing the
noise which the fearful sight caused,
came to thc ?loor and asked what was
the matter. Seeing his child, as it were
in the jaws of death, he did not hesitate
for a moment o think, but leaped ?"rom
thc Hour into the pit, lighting on thc
head of tho bears. IIJ managed, by n
frantic effort, to tear his child from the
savage monster and threw him behind.
In another instant he handed the little
fellow up among thc almost paralyzed
spectators. Thc men around seemed so
suddenly struck with terror that they
they could do nothing to help Joe, who
had placed himself in such imminent
danger. The moment the child was out
oftbepittho she bear growled fiercely
ami sprang on Joe, who had no arms
with which to defend himself. The
savage brute seized him hy the right
knee, throwing him on his back. Her
teeth were driven fully an inch deep into
into his flesh, lie was then completely
at tho mercy of tho animal, whoso tame
ness had disappeared, it being enraged at
having the child taken away. Thc men
looking on still seemed powerless to help,
though one of tho visitors had a re
volver in his pocket. Joe, however, did
not lone hi? presence of mind, but seized
a brick which lay near him, and struck
tho bear on the snout with all his might.
Tho brute let go bis bold and Joe quickly
! got on bis feet. Tho old ho bear had
not shown fight at all, but when Joe
shouted had slunk back to thc dark cor
ner. The nho bear bad now stood ofF,
showing her teeth, but bo continued to
shout and she also went back. Joo was
r<;.wiif>d from tho pit, his legs being cov
ered wi.'. Mood. Tho trouser? "nV.-ifc. '..c'
had on were torn ... aureus and his stock
ings were saturated with blood. The
child had not been injured at all beyond
a slight scratch on tho hoad. Joe says
tho sho bear was always a contrary beast,
and that when he trained her first he used
to put her In a puncheon of water and
punch her head under with a broom, and
when the cub was nearly drowned it
would bite thc broom, joe refuses ali
medical attendance and applies highwines
to the bite, which continues to bleed to

- Capt. Eada, the scientific engineer,
has appeared in a letter to the New
York Tribune with a novel plan fordoing
away with tho proposed Shin Canal
across the Isthmus of Darieu. Iiis plan
is tn pick up a ship nt Aspinwall and
haul it bodily across the Isthmus to Pan
ama. Ile proposes a five-track railway
with road-bed forty feet wide and an
immense truck with one thousand
wheels. He Will run, this under the
loaded vessel as she lies in the dock and
secure the samo thereunto. Then, with
a dozen largc-aized locomotives be will
walk off with it Uko a thing' of beauty
at the rato of fifteeu miles an hour,
though the average speed would not, Mr.
Fads thinks, be more than eight milos
an hour. Thc estimated cost of this
ship railway is only $50,000,000, or about
one-third of tho cost of a canal across
thc Isthmus. Mr. Fads thinks that he
could complete his railway in five years,
and thus give this generation tho benefit
of his scheme if bc could commence oper
ations nt once.

olievc that there wero about 7,300,000
votes polled, and about 7,299,000 were
for-Louis Napoleon, because ho was
keeping the peace at the polls with au

which wo aro invited. 'None in mine.'"
- Mexico is again about to be launched
upon tho turbulent sea of revolution. A
letter received from Monterey, dated
June 11th, ?tates that Negrete, Comman
der in-chief of tho Mexican Army, had
pronounced against Diaz with 3,000 men.
Chief Justico Vallarla has assumed the
Presidential chair pro tem., which Pres
ident Diaz abandoned to pursue Negrete.
In consequence of the excitement and
uneasiness Congress adjourned ita session.
Another letter says Diaz bas discharged
Generals Trevino and Inaranjo and ap
pointed new men in the places of theso
officers. They were chiefs in command
of the Northern Division. Thc revolu
tion, it is thought, will bc general
throughout tho country at once.
- Mr. It. M. Pulsifer of the Boston Her
aid quotes the statement that the peoplo of
tho United States pay $700,000000 a year
for spirituous and fermented liquors, and
only $05,500,000 for education, and $4S,
000,000 for religion. "I hr.d no idea we
were such a thirsty people," hesays"but I
havo heard a good deal of virtuous indig
nation expressed because church prop
erty is exempted from taxation and somo
of the States have como vory near to
ruining themselves with expensivo com
mon schools. Suppose wo should all
swear off for three years, and wipe out
tho public debt.
- A Virginia paper tells of a woman
who had a sick hen which she cut open
to satisfy a laudable curiosity. Upon
making the dissection she found insido
of her hon forty eggs, twenty-fivo of
which were full size, and tho other fif
teen of which ranged downward from
the size of a hickory nut. These wero all
taken out, and the hen, after being sewed
up, began to recover rapidly and is now
well and lively again.
- It has been ascertained by actual
scientific survey that tho surface of tho
water at tho mouth of St. John's river,
Florida, is only tinco feet six inches
lower than it is 250 miles abovo. In
other words, the river has but an nverage
fall of less than a cixth of an inch to the
mile. Another singular fact worthy of
consideration is that it baa a course
taking its many meanderings into ac
count-of between SOO or 400 miles, yet
its source is not more than twelve miles
from tho shores of the same ocean into
?hicb it empties itself.
To ignore the warning of approaching
disease is neither cautious nor safe.
Prudence would suggest the immediate
use of a good preventivo remedy, such ss
Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills, which eradi
cate at once all symptoms of bilious dis
eases.

(IKSTS-For sixteen years I have been a great
sufferer from Scrofula lu Its most distressing forms.
I have been confined to my room and bed for lif
toen years with scrofulous ulcerations. Thc most
approve-d remedies for such coses had been used,
and the most eminent physicians consulted, with
out any decided benetlt. Thus prostrated, dis
tressed, dcsi>ondlng, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of
Floyd County, Ga., to commence the uso of your
Compound Extract Stllttngla. Language is as lu
sullkieut to describe tho relief I obti.inod from tho
use ol the Stillingla ns lt Is to convey nu adequitc
Idea of thc Intensity of my suffering ltofore using
your medicine; sufficient to say, I abandoned all
other remedies and continued the use of your Ex
tract of Stillingla, until I can sar truly. "I nm
cured of all pain," of all disease, with nothing to
obstruct tho active pursuit of my profession. >lore
than eight months have elapsed siucu this re
markable cure, without any return of thu disease.
For thc truth of the nlxivo statement, I refer to
.".ny gentleman in llartow County, Un., and to thc
members ol the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are
acquainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the
deepest gratitude, your obedient servant,
