By this courier I ^received orders from ths general to imme Tdiatcly. put the consmand in condition to be . ready to move into Kentucky across tho'Teanessee and Cumberland riven. 'Gen-MTood, at the head of the Army of }e Tennessee, was already marching on (Nashville. Gren^ tyon, with his staff and escort, rived on the 20th of November. The jjgjjp?ffier' was iateneely cold and disagree bl?f:'- 33ha men had bat a scant supply of and blankets, and these were ins. Two deep and angry rivers, almost p&rallal within a few L of each other, lay between our camp Kentucky, but no obstacles could the Vr?d exultation of men gladdened gfr.^the idea, of once, more riding upon lr'native soil. Orders had been issued exoesing tho Cumberland river next _ 'Nov. 21. The camp was alive, .tho activity of officers and men get things in order for the early march, rations were being cooked, equip r were being repaired and burnished inspectors were basy stripping i\ men of every ounce of surplus bag The little row* ef Paris was also on the ? vive, and fair maidens for miles about " made arrangements far a farewell laHto the daring riders. lathe evening "* ? Old Academy, building, abandoned ie war as a female educatioaal ln V fairly blazed with Chinese lan dnd other variegated lights. An ^-Svhjed orchestra awakeoed the echoes ths long deserted corridorBfand dash-. cavaliar with sylphlike xoaidan rled the merry hours away with no it of the mosrow. Midnight was ig into the first hour of morning, L the old Virginia reel, which will bf smbered at all the eomntry dances in t good old ante-bellum days as a sort of iehorean doxology, was called, and ^leader of the orchestra proudly war hi? baton, this last merry dance be ; was standing near Gen. Lyon, an in ed spectator of the beautiful scene. -, a handsome young soldier, ig with excitement, was dancing to ra-vfe, when a scrap of paper was red. to fall fsem his pocket and, flat lay npon the floor. Without ig attention to what he was doing, it Lyon secured the paper. I knew by ? flash of his eye, as he read its con . 'that something serious had hap? ped. The general placed the paper In ?band, and, to my great astonishment 7disi?ay, I read an order from my old 3d and benefactor, Dr. Mathewson, ig the sergeant through the Federal i as a deserter from the Confederate For a moment I was dazed. The I knew to be at home, and I r certain of his fate if left in ignorance ie exposure. What were my duties i premises? This was for"me a most i question, .and its solution admitted delay. Tcaused tho doctor to be informed of Qj* would I not thereby prove false flag of . the Confederacy and f,my wmmanding officer, who had ' ed all confidence in me* ana if dis 20,; would I not justly be subjected io sevfjoest discipline of the Confeder [army regulaLions?. Gen. Lyon's high | rly qaoanties had endeared him to | f My hTe 'wus pledged to his fortunes, fee could doubt my earnest devotion ie; Confederate cause, which had been , |sted by my blood "epilled npon more :oho battlefield. On the other hand f;was- a poor old man who had been i ie. a frieiid and benefactor, and his I j It.were, hung by a thread. I j [.owed teiissl$l and kJadsesf j tho preservation of my own lifo. All un? conscious ho stood on th? very verge of a dishonorable grave. I eould save him; would my OTT? conscience justify me im doing sor These reAeotions, much quicker than the written expression of them, chased each other throng* my brain and aroused the meet sympathetic emotions of my nature. I resolved all doubt.' on tne side of mercy end gratitude. Standing near me, and for the time disengaged, was Miss Pocahontas Browne, a charming type of southern womanhood. Thrown frequently in her society, her sad, but bright, rest? less eyes and roseless cheeks, her stately carriage and altogether strange but be? witching type of beauty, had ofttimes challenged my admiration and wonder. Gen. Lyon, was about to withdraw from the- ballroom, and requested my immedi? ate attendance at his headquarters. I excused myself fox the time, urging an immediate engagement with Miss Browne. As soon as I could excuse myself I promised to wait upon him. Turning to the young lady just as the orchestral notes gave warning of the close of the - dance, with hasty courtesy begged I her permission for a promenade. We pushed through the throng out upon the broad I southern veranda; thence with restless impatience I almost dragged the lady over the lawn and oat into the darkness J of night, informing her meanwhile that I demanded her assistance upon a mission of life and death, and that there was not a moment to be lost. I knew her father to be a warm friend of Dr. Mathewson, but above every other consideration I trusted to that charity and sublime nobility which is the touchstone of every true womanly nature. In a few moments I explained the situation and the good old doctor's peril. I had made no mistake. The eyes of my fair ally kindled with pure flame as I hastily made known to her the part she was to perform in the drama. The beauti L fnl girl I had known, so gentle and timid, I was now Imbued with a spirit as daunt I less as that which tired the soul of Joan [ d'Arc. It was not a great distance-to the I doctor's house. I would wait for her at the end of the lawn In the shade of a great j elm tree that- stood in the moonless sky like a sentinel to guard the main approach to the .academy. She sped like an ante? lope. Her mission was fulfilled. We were again returning to the pleasure halls when the clang1 of heavy cavalry spurs en the stone street was heard near by. I recognized a dismounted detail of j cavalrymen from Lyon's escort "going at "double quick" In the direction of Dr. Mathewson's house. It was too late. ' I*? Spring had returned and with it the remnants of Gen. Lyon's cavalry division to the camp near Paris. I was again "at j home" In my old headquarters. A very I few days after our arrival we were startled by intelligence of Gen. Lee's sur I render. Gen. Lyon Immediately an I nounced his determination of going to I Mexico where the Mexican revolutionists had joined issue with the ill fated Maxi? milian. All those of the command who desired to accompany htm were permitted I to do so. I The town of Paris and the surrounding I country were at that time in a sad con I dition. The vast majority of the slaves, j who had formerly cultivated those f ruit I ful fields, had strayed after the Federal j army, and every man young enough and every boy old enough was far away from j, his home, either under the southern flag I or under southern sod. The country for. j miles around Paris was impoverished or desolate. j A guerrilla band under the notorious ] Hank Wilde' had ma do its rendezvous in j the pathless coalings which lie between I those twin rivers?the Cumberland and I the Tennessee; and their accessibility to I Paris made that little city frequently the I rallying point for their robbing raids. Their merciless savagery had stricken I terror and dismay Into the hearts of the I defenseless people. These outlaws were I generally deserters from- both armies, j Always well mounted, fantastically I dressed, heavily armed and desperate, [they claimed, no country, were without I mercy and reveled In blood and plunder, j The guerrilla chief himself was a de I serter from the Confederate army. His I father, at the breaking out of the war, was I a wealthy and respectable owner of large I property on the Cumberland river. Hank I was an early voluuteer in the Confederate I-army; and for more than a year con j formed to the discipline of camp, and I with reckless courage faithfully performed I all the duties'of a soldier. The destruc I tlon'of his father's house and furnaces by I the-United States furnished him with an I excuse to return home without leave and I start upon the war path for revenge. He I had soon passed the dead line and placed himself without the pale of civilized war? fare. He was outlawed by the Confeder? ate government and a price put upon his head. I It was on the 14th of April that wo had learned from our scouts of Gen. Lee's surrender of the grand Army of Northern Virginia, and we realized that the curtain was being rung down upon the last scene in the drama of the Confederacy. On the eve of Gen. Lyon'sdeparture for Mexico he sug? gested to me that 7 should go under flag of truce to Paducah. the nearest Federal army post, and make terms with the com I manding officer for the surrender of the command. Returning from my visit to Paducah, where I had been received with patriarchal kindness by that noble old Roman soldier, Gen. Sol Meredith, I was expecting every day notice of the ratifica? tion of the terms of surrender of myself and command by Gen. Thomas, com? mander of the Department of the Cumber? land, to whom the matter had been re? ferred. J It was on the 25th day of April, 18G5, a beautiful, soft spring evening. The moon hung like a silver crescent above the tall Lombardy trees that skirted the lawn which lay in front of the little frame cot? tage I was occupying as headquarters. I was sitting alone on the veranda, watch? ing the evening shadows and reviewing in dreamy reverie my life as a Confederate I soldier. I looked back through the four years spent In constant and untiring ser? vice, and it seemed an age since I had gone for a soldier in the south. Visions of the past rose up around me, and in swift pano? rama all the scenes of my army life, of the I camp and of the march, of the skirmish, [ the battle and the charge passed before me. I was aroused from my reverie by an officer of the guard, who informed me that a lady desired to speak with me. Called I back thus to real life, I ordered that she be brought into my presence. The officer, returning, declared that the lady refused to give her name or come to the office, but Insisted on my coming to her. This was a strange proceeding, and knowing, as so weU I did, that I had incurred the deadly enmity of Hank Wilde and his guerrillas, I thought possibly It was a trap to encom? pass my assassination by these bloody and desperate people. Feeling*, however, in a restless, if not a romantic mood, I con? cluded that I would attend the summons. The officer who had notified me of the lady's presence directed me to where she I was standing alone, several hundred yards j down the road beyond headquarters. As the lady withdrew her veil, with ill concealed amazement I recognized the handsome features of Pocahontas Browne. She was not long In making her strange j demands. ' eminding me of her services in rescuing Dr. Mathewson on the occa? sion of the ball at the old Academy she proceeded to inform me that she was en? gaged to be married that very night and depended upon me for the safe and cer? tain means of consummating her vows. Being quite a gallant young man myself I was somewhat bewildered and embar? rassed at thus being made a confidant of I a beautiful young lady upon this most delicate subject. Possibly I may have proposed to furnish the bridegroom my 'self. But if I was embarrassed and be? wildered before I was now struck blind and dumb by the calm declaration of the fair lady that the bridegroom had been selected in the person of Hank Wilde. This sweet and gentle girl, pure, beauti? ful and brave, had plighted her maidenly troth to the red handed guerrilla chief. Realizing that I could not prevent the consummation of her fixed and unalter? able purpose, I compromised the demands of Miss Browne by agreeing to furnish her a cavalry escort instructed to conduct her lover within my linea to tae.old Cum? berland Presbyterian churchyard, where the marriage ceremony was to be per? formed. Pocahontas was to be the guide, and the officer commanding the escort was to report to her within half an hour at a point designated. When I had given my consent to those monstrous proceedings I returned to my j headquarters and summoned the gallant j Lieut. Gillesplo to report to me immcdi- j ately with ten mounted men. I informed the lieutenant in a few words of the pecu? liar business in hand and instructed him to have an extra horse for tlio lady. I Everything being in readiness within the j I given time, it was but a few minutes be fore the littlo column moved off under his j sommand. With my orderly at my side, and disguised sufficiently so as not to be recognized In the night time, I brought np the rear. Pocahontas Browno, assisted by.the lien tenant and not suspecting my presence, gracefully mounted the horse reserved for her. The little column moved toward the Tennessee river, the lieutenant and the fair lady guide tn front. About 1 o'elock we were halted near the river, at the month of the Big Sandy creek. The young lady, after a few moments' Inaud? ible conversation with the lieutenant, rode off to the right of the road out into the shadows of the great sycamore trees that grew in rich profusion along the banks of the stream. Very soon she returned, and accompanying her was a horseman of medium height and of most superb phys? ique. He was splendidly mounted and full rigged in guerrilla outfit. The belt at his waist swagged witl its heavy arma? ment, and his fierce black eyes fairly gleamed from under the broad brim of his gaudy sombrero. He wore a flaming red flannel shirt richly embellished, the loose collar of which was tied with a fantastic scarf. In high riding boots and jingling silver spurs, he sat his horse as though he were a part of the graceful and spirited animal. Such was the guerrilla chief, the bridegroom elect, and in tho eyes of Pocahontas Browne the bravest and truest cavalier in all tho land. It was quite an hour after midnight when we arrived at the gate, through which entrance was made into the old Cumberland Presbyterian church yard. I had taken tho precaution to have Pri? vate Jones, our fighting parson of heroic memory, detailed as one of the escort, and ho had been informed by Lieut. Gillcsple of tho part he was to perform in the drama. The lieutenant, in a subdued voice, aligned his escort just in the rear of the ancient picket fence, from which the paint had long since disappeared and many a slat wa3 wanting. Tho old brick church stood dark and stern in the midst of the graves of generations of those who had worshiped at and been buried from its altars, but there was now to be enacted within its sacred precincts, in tho deep shadows of its ivy covered walls, a weird scene, tho like of which had never before been witnessed on earth. No question, as I remember it, was asked about the license?I doubt if any could have been legally issued. I don't re? member if there were at this time any civil officers in commission in the county of which Paris was'the capital. The offi? cial records of tho county had been de? stroyed or removed, and the court house was indeed an abandoned temple. In the whirl of passing events I gave not a thought to this absence of civil authority, but in these "piping times of peace" if ? has often recurred to mo how that during all those terrible years of internecine strife, tho old Latin maxim was verified: "In the midst of war laws aro silent." Seated upon his old war horse, Hank Wilde and Pocahontas Browne on theirs, Earson Jones, in the shadow of the old church walls and in view of the crumbling tombstones of the bride's ancestry, sol emnly tied the marriage knot. I did not inquire as to the* plans tho married couple had made for their honey? moon, but as soon as the marriage cere? mony had been performed, Lieut. GilleE pie, in accordance with my instructions, detailed a cavalryman to see the bride home, where her father was doubtless sleeping the innocent sleep of the just, all unconscious that ho had been mado father-in-law to the most notorious guer? rilla between the two rivers. Lieut Gil lespie, at the same time, wheeling his platoon into the column and ordering Hank Wilde to fall in, much to the guer? rilla's mortification and disappointment, made a hasty march for the rendezvous on the river. At tills point the quaint bridegroom was dismissed, and with mut? tered curses he rode sulkily back into his hiding place under the grim shadows of the sycamores. ****** I was at my headquarters In the even-' ing two days subsequent to the events just narrated, nervously pacing the front lawn, stopping some time to catch an idle question from a staff officer or courier and anxiously expecting every moment a mes? senger with official notification from the Federal lines of the acceptance of the terms of surrender, when my ears wero pierced with, heart rending screams, which, I soon discovered, were produced by two frantic ladies who, with dishev proaching my headquarters. I immedi? ately recognized in the grief stricken wo? men the mother and bride of the guerrilla chief. Capt. Payne, of my command, had just arrived at the head of a small scouting Barty^one of. his inen leading a riderless horse. In a few minutes I had learned from the gallant captain that whilst on a scout to the Tennessee river, where I bad sent him in an effort to secure tidings from Johnsonville, at this time occupied by Federal troops, he had come up with Hank Wilde and a part of his band. Ap? preciating the orders with reference to these outlaws, Payne charged upon tho guerrillas, and in a hand to hand fight, Hank Wilde, the desperate chief, and sev 2nil of his daring and lawless band went 3own. ?The bullet riddled body of the shief had been brought into my lines and was then lying stark and stiff in the court? house plaza. The evening of the same day that closed the career of the notorious guerrilla, who is remembered in that lovely valley as the "Scourge of the Cumberland," I was pleased to welcome into ray camp Lieut. Col. Shepherd, who. at the head of his jommand of Ohio cavalry, had marched into my lines, bearing with him the ap? proval of the terms and conditions of my surrender. Not much time was lost in "filling up" the paroles, which were fur? nished in blank form, and the next morn? ing's sun, the golden harbinger of peaco, witnessed a deserted camp. The "boys In gray" had, like the Arab, "folded their tents and silently stole away." Tho widest known, the most frequently required of all hypnotics is opium. As it is the most trustworthy and powerful ano? dyne, it probably acts as a hypnotic by virtue of its potency to annul pain and painful sensations of minor degrees. But there are many objections to the univer? sal use of this most puissant anodyno hypnotic It is extremely dangerous in tho earlier years of life. Its tendency to create a morbid appetite for itself which it is almost Impossible to breakup, and the nausea, vomiting, delirium, constipation, itching of the entire surface, and other disagreeable effects it produces in many individuals are strong reasons for seeking some remedy which shall induce refresh? ing sleep without' upsetting the whole economy of the one who makes use of it as a hypnotic. Whenever pain is the cause of distress? ing or dangerous insomnia opium in some form must be used, and efforts should bo made to control the dangerous or un? pleasant symptoms it produces. A com? bination of atropia or belladonna with the opium or morphine (which is practically the same) generally lessens the unpleasant after effects, but does not wholly prevent them. One of the bromides, with atropia, hyoscyamus and chloral hydrate, some? times does well in this regard. The pain? ful want of breath in heart disease is best relieved by a combination of opium with delladonna. Opium ought not to bo used when the lungs are seriously disabled, as in advauced consumption, bronchitis in tho very young or the aged, or in pleurisy with large accumulation of fluid in one of the cavities of the chest. The almost in? variable presence of opium in secret nos? trums sold for "the cure of coughs, colds and consumption" hits )>een proved over and over again, and is sufficient reason for avoiding them. ? These sleep producing "cough syrups''are particularly danger? ous to little children and the aged. In most individuals, even those most favor? ably affected by opium, its prolonged em? ployment is almost sure to produce im? pairment of the digestion; For this rea? son it should not l>c used continuously for any long period. It seems to have an especially deleterious effect upon the liver. ?Globe-Democrat. Dynamic Value of Cnal. The dynamic valuo of one pound of good steam coal lias been estimated by Professor W. ?.

Winksboro, January 11.?In conver? sation with a number of gentlemen at Blackstock the other day, I stumbled upon a bit of traditio? that may prove interesting, and as several expressed a desire for further information, I send it to the News and Courier. The conver? sation turning upon battles that had been fought after peace bad been de? clared, as a matter of course the war of 1812 was mentioned, and the battle of New Orleans cited as a case in point. That brought out the names of the op? posing geuerals, and when Gen. Packeo ham's name was called, a gray-haired citizen from the couutry said : "He is buried out here near Mr. Austin's." "Who?" exclaimed a chorus of voices. "Why that general you're talking about ?Packenbam." In the questionings that folio (ved I gleaned the following: Tho General's body was said to have been packed in a cask of rum and sent buck to England. On its arrival there, it was through mis? take not even opened, but shipped again, this time bound for Charleston. Reach ing our "City by the Sea" it was sent to a Mr. McMullen, who kept a general stock of groceries, liquors, &c. There a spigot was placed in the barrel, aud the boys who had returned from the war would congregate around the Btore, take large potations'of the good old Jamaica rum and tell of their exploits in the war. After the rum was exhausted the head of the cask was knocked out, and, horror of horrors, the body of a man was found therein ! The uews spread like wildfire aud the boys gathered to inspect the body. Several of them had been to New Orleans and had seen Gen. Packenham, and at once identified it as being no lens a corpse than that of the General. The body was enclosed in a coffin and buried near the 6tore. Mr. Austin now owns the property. He lives a few miles from Rossville, Chester County. Until quite recently, there were ?tili living some of those who helped to drink the rum and who identified the body. What does history say ? If Gen. Packenbam i*< not buried near Rosaville where is be bur? ied ??Special to Neios and Courier. . He Disturbed the Couch, Raleigh, N. 0, Januaiy 11.?The Su preine court of this State has rendered a decision in a case which perhaps has no parallel in legal annals. A man in Robinson county was indicted for dis turbing religious worship?a grave misdemeanor in this State. It was stated that he was a member of a Methodist church, and that ho sang in such a way as to disturb the cutire congregation, his voice being beard after the voices of all the other singers had ceased. The case went before the superior court, and the I trial wati very interesting. All these facts were brought out. A witness, asked j to give a description of the defendant's Hinging, requested permission to imitate | it, and so perfectly did he reproduce the \ voice and mauuer of the defendant as to produce bursts of laughter which, irresis? tible and prolonged, convulsed alike the spectators, ibe lawyers*, the jary and the judge. It was in evidence that the dis? turbance in the church caused by the sing ng was decided and serious, its effect being to make one part of the congrega tion laugh and tu make the other half very angry, the frivolous and irreligious er joying it as fun, while the devout and serious were indignant. It was further shown that tho congregation had been so greatly disturbed by it that the preacher had positively decliucd to "givo out" any hymns, aud that the presiding elder of tho district had refused to conduct services in the church at all. The defendant did not object to this evidence. He was put upon tho stand in his own behalf, tho law of the State allowing the defendants in any sort of ca-e to thus testify. He said he was a conscientious singer, and that though he knew his voice wa* not musical, his con? science reproved him if he did not sing every time a church soug was raised. The Judge nevertheless charged the jury that it was a disturbance of religious services in the meaning of the act, and the defendant was convicted. Ho took an appeal to the mprerue court, which rendered the opinion that a "conscien? tious" singer causing a disturbance, though he disturbs others, such distur? bance is uot an indictable offense. The action of the lower court was reversed and the defendaut retires the victor in the singular legal contest. Why He Heeded Prayer. The congregation of a church at Elk Ro:kwas much shocked upon learning th at uirrir preacher had departed under mo.?t discreditable circumstances. On the following Sunday it seemed to be the aim of nearly every one to hush up the scandal, and, under great restraint, many uninteresting conversations were held, merely to prove that the member* of the church could arise above sensational gossip. Just before the services were closed Brother Elijah P. Brookrod arose and said: "Brethren and sisters, since we last met in this house, something which seems to have cast a gloom over this congrega? tion has occurred. We were all much attached to our minister. In fact, we loved him; and I now propose that we offer up a prayer for the wanderer." A sensational wave swept over the audience. Another brother arose, and, ;urning to Elijah P. Brookrod, said : "I am astonished that you should desire this congregation to pray for our erring minister?you above all others." "Why ?" "Because he ran away with your wife." "Yes, I know," Elijah replied, "aud that is the reason wby I think he "will need our prayers." Drunkards*1 Gallery Wanted.

We were driving out one Sunday from Decatur when ws came upon a negro with a club in his h?nd and a freshly killed 'possum on his shoulder. We stopped to examine his price, and the Colonel said: "My friend, do you know it i? Sun? day?" "Sartin, boss." "Are you not a religious man?" "I ar\ I'ze jist on my way home from church." "And what sort of religion have you got that permits you to go hunting on Sunday?" "Religun! Religun!'' queried the man as he held the 'possum up with one hand and scratched his head with the other. "Does you speck3 any black man in Alabama is gwine to tie himself up to any religun dat 'iow* a 'possum to walk right across the rond ahead of him an' git away free? No, sah.

Loam all you can ; for youth is the time, and the time alone, in which learn? ing can he attained. I find that I can now remember very little but what I learr ed when I was young. I have, it is true, acquired many things since, but it has been with great labor and difficulty. a nd I find I cannot retain them a* I can those things which I gained in ray youth. Had I not got rudiment- and principles in the beginning I should certainly have made but little out. in life.? Dr. Adam dark. ? nr ? "Remember the example of George Washington, my son," stid the carefu| father. "Who wan George Washington, ptipA?" queried the hopeful. "Why, he was the man who couldn't tell a lie, ot course." "What was the matter with him?couldn't ho talk ?" There was much anxiety in the paternal mind as to the youngster. _Why should a man want to travel ? This globe of ours carries us' bowling along at tbe rate of 60,000 miles an hour, on an annual excursion, through con? stantly changing celestial scenery. ? The newest thing in mourning is that the girl whom death bereaves of her accepted lover may wear a black ribbon as a testimonial of her grief. HOW DO WE DIG OUR GRAVES? We must eat or we cannot live. This we. all know. But do wo all know thai we die by eating?. It is said we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. "Wo ure ter? rified at the approach of the cholera and yellow fever, yet there is a dis? ease constantly at our doors and in our licases far more dangerous and destructive. Most people have in their own stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite us fatal as the germs of tho.se maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi? demics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watchful, we cun tell when we are threatened. Tho following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always necessarily appear in the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is change j able, sometimes poor end again it seems as though the patient could not eat enough, and occasionally no appetite at all; dullness and slug? gishness of tho mind; no ambition ? to study or work; more or less head? ache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to tho feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat? ed tongue; a sense of a load on tho stomach that nothing removes; hot and dry skin at times; yellow tinge in tho eyes; scanty and high-colored ariuo; sour taste "in the mouth, fre? quently attended by palpitation of the heart; impaired vision, with spots that seem to be swimming in the air before tho eyes; a rough, witli a greenish-colored expecto? ration; poor nights'rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costive. This disease has puzzled tho physicians and still puz? zles them. It is the commonest of ailments and yet tho most compli? cated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some? times as liver complaint, n-;d then again as malaria and even heart dis? ease. But its real nature is that of constipation and dyspepsia. It arises in the digestive organs and soon affects all the others through the coiTupted and poisoned blood Often the whole body?including the nervous system?is literally starved, even when there is no emaciation to tell tho sad story. Experience has shown that thereis put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. It never fails but, nevertheless, no time should be lost in trying other so called remedies, for they will do no good. Get this great vegetable preparation, (discovered by a vener? able nurse whose name is a house? hold word in Germany) and be sure to get the genuine article. given up by seven doctors. Shaker Extract of Roots or Sei el s Syrup has raised me to good ealth after seven doctors had given me up to die with consumption.? So writes R. F. Grace, Kirkman ville, Todd Co., Ky. he hkakd of it jost is time. "I had been about given up to die with dyspepsia when I first saw the advert isement of Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel'B Syrup. After using four bottios I was able to at? tend to my business as well as ever. I know of several cases of chills and fever that have been cured by it." So writes Mr. Thos. Pullum, of Tay? lor, Geneva Co., Ala. worth ten dollars a dottle. Mr. Thomas P. Evans, of the firm of Evans & Bro., Merchants, Horn town, Accomack Co., Va., writes that ho hadboen sick with digestive disorders for many years and had tried many physicians and medi? cines without bonefit. Ho began to use Shaker Extract of Roots or Sei? gel's Syrup about tho 1st of Jan. 1887, and was so much bettor in three weeks that ho considered him? self practically a well man. Ho adds: "I have at this time one bot? tle on hand, and if I could not get any more I icould not take a ten dollar bill for it:1 All druggists, or Address A. J. White, Limited, G4 Warren St.N. Y.
