The Chaplain of the House of Repre?
sentatives io Congress has been giving
the members some good advice lately in
; bis prayers. Gambling was his theme
in a recent invocation ; drunkenness
vas dealt with next morning, and
doubtless some of our law-makers might
profit by taking heed to his prayerful
warnings.
Some of our c-o tem po ra ries are dis?
cussing the relative merits of old and
young political leaden. We remember
an oft quoted saying of our younger
days: .*Young people think old ones
are fools whOe old people know that the
young ones are fools'-; but we do not
-think this sentiment at all common.
Young men of even ordinary intelli?
gence eau but know that their elders
have had the benefit of experience as a
. guide to their judgment, while old ones
--' ' appreciate the jeal and enthusiasm which
come as a do wer to the young and buoy?
ant. There should he no contest be
- -
tween old age and youth. The need of
both is evident. Wisdom to contrive
and strength to execute are equal gifts.
This is election year as we will al
find ont hy November next, and we look
I forward with dread to the heart burn -
* iagt, rivalries and jealousies which will
. arise. Would it not he better for the
."-...
official term to last four years? It
; would save trouble and expense and we
believe would give the State better ser?
vice. Such a change would give the
people three years of freedom from the
annoyance of candidates and elections,
and would be a decided improvement
apon the present plan of biennial elec?
tions, biennial sessions of the Legis?
lature would be another improvement
The gifts of oratory could not be culti?
vated to so great 'au extent, but we
could manage to survive that trouble.
FLOODS.

The heavy rains of last week have
caused numerous overflows throughout
the country. In Eichmond the waters
were as high as ever known-telegraph
and railroad communication being seri?
ously .impeded. Similar reports come
from Lynchburg and Staunton, while in
West Virginia the Kanawha rose 38
feet, in places submerging miles of tele?
graph lines. Georgia, Tennessee and
Alabama tell the same tale of swollen
rivers, submerged railways, delayed
mails and property swept away.
* DRESS REFORM. ~

- Miss Cleveland has written a letter
en a subject to which newspapers have
turned their attention with more or less
: persistence for some time-immodest
dressing. We give the following ex?
tract: "I approve of evening dress
?which shows, neck and arms. I do cot
approve of any dress which shows the
p bust. Between the neck and bust there
is a line always to be drawn, and it is
aa clear to the most frivolous society
wemen as to the anatomists. This linc
need never be passed and a fashionable
woman's low-necked evening dress need
never be immodest. If it is so, it is
because she prefers to be so. It is
wholly false, so far as I have observed,
thet a 'shocking scarcity of waists and
sleeves mark the gowns of society wo?
men.' This is sadly and painfully true
of a few .society women,' and it is in?
deed shocking, nauseating, revolting
and deserving of the utmost denuncia?
tion on the score of morality, beauty,
health and every other consideration
whieh good men and women should
conspire to preserve and exact. There
is need of a very few words on this sub?
ject and no argument." Now that 'the
first lady of the land' has spoken we
hope her opinion will do what the efforts
of the newspapers signally failed to ac?
complish-induce fashionable women to
put on enough clothes when in full dress
to hide the scraggy bones or abondant
adipose which has been filling the aver?
age newspaper reporter with anguish
and sorrow while contemplating, at the
halls and parties of the world of fashion.

The Augusta Chronicle says : 'How
is it that most of the Republican office?
holders have been removed in South
Carolina and so many remain in Geor?
gia ? Who is to blame for this V
There is a long stretoh of country
between Washington and Georgia, and
perhaps the Presidential broom has not
yet crossed the Savannah Ki ver. It is
not improbable that the Republican
officeholders in South Carolina were the
worst Republicans in the South, and
that their partisanship was of a more
offensive character than that of the
Georgia Republicans. It is true that
the spoils system under Republican rule
had reached its highest development
here, and the President could not have
selected a better field than South Caro?
lina in which to exercise the policy of
civil service reform. Let tb 3 Demo?
kratie spoilsmen of our neighboring
State, however, possess their souls in
patience yet a*little longer and perhaps
they shall, reap if they faint not and do

The Farmers' Meeting Yesterday.
The Convention yesterday was very success?
ful. The Chair expiai oed the purpose of the
meeting, and Mr. H. E. Thomas read the call.
Col. J. S. Richardson strongly condemned its
tone, but moved that delegates be sent to tbe
Columbia Convention which meets April 29.
The motion was seconded by Col. Peebles,
endorsed by Col. J. H. Wilson, and adopted
by the meeting. Nominations being in order.
Col. Richardson nominated E. M. Cooper, R.
I. Manning, J. H. Wilson, R. M. Cooper aod
Frank Mallett. Additional nominations were
made as follows : Dr. J. H. Furman, J. E.
Atkins, F. E. Thomas, E. H. Holman, Dr.
McLaurio, J. H. Aycock, J. S. Richardson
and R. J. Brownfield. Col. Richardson and
Capt. Holman declined on the ground that
they were engaged in other professions be?
sides that of farming. Capt. A tkins also de?
clined. The following were then elected del
egates : R. I. Manning, E. M. Cooper, J. H
Wilson, R. M. Cooper and H. R. Thomas
and Messrs. Frank Mellen, F. E. Thomas, A
A. Brearley, H. J. McLanrin and R. J
Brownfield as alternates.

Muneipal Meetings.
In response to the call of the Town Council
a large number of citizens met in the Music
Hall Tuesday night. Intendant Moise called
the meeting to order and requested Capt. W.
R. Del gar to preside.
After several speeches and an unlimited
amount of confusion, the following ticket was
nominated i Marion Moise, Intendant ; and
Messrs. E. P. Monaghan, A. Moses, J. A.
Mood and Z. E. Walker, as Wardens.
The meeting was unnecessarily boisterous,
and if the colored people wish to meet with
their white fellow citizens for purposes such
as that of last Tuesday night, they will have
to learn somewhat more of decorum and dig?
nity than was evinced at that time. Dick
Reed-with bis blatant stupidity was by no
means the greatest nuisance on the floor. It
is true tbe bowling mob was in a.good hu?
mor ; but those accustomed to decent beha?
vior in public can not well attend to business
tn the midst of tbe pandemonium of shouts
uid yella indulged in by many who were
present. - -
Let us have nb more of such unbecoming
exhibitions at nominating conventions. They
ire unnecessary and thoroughly distasteful to
the community.
We.think the town is to be congratulated
ipon the ticket nominated. The members
rare us a good government last year, and we
lave every reason to expect a still better in
he year to come.
ANOTHER.
A number of voters, feeling aggrieved at
;he manner in which the nominations were
nade at the town meeting, Tuesday evening,
?lied a meeting for Thursday night to con
?ider their duty ia the premises.
The meeting was held in the Engine Hall
vb ich was packed to its utmost capacity,
laj. H. F. Wilson was called to the chair,
ind the purposes of the meeting explained by
r*. 6. Bowman, Esq., who moved tbeap
?ointment of a committee to prepare a report
or work. The committee recommended that
he meeting should nominate candidates.
The report was adopted and the following
icket nominated: M. Moise Intendant, H.
?rank Wilson, J. A. Mood, C. F. A. Bult
nan and A. D. Bicker for Wardens.
Resolutions condemning the disorderly
onductof tbe former meeting were unaui
aoasly adopted.
We regret the action of this meeting in
tominating another ticket. That already in
be field was satisfactory to the majority of
mr people, and while the methods adopted
ind pursued by the would-be leaders at the
netting of Tuesday deserved the severest
ensure it would have been better to have en?
forced the nominees, instead of springing a
lartiallv new ticket.
A Complaint.
LvxCHScao, S. C., April 5, 1885.
Mr. Editor : Can you tell the cause of the
rregularities of the mail from Charleston and
Sumter to this place? It is often the case that
ve do not get mail matter for two to three
lays after date of post-mark ; and the Charl es
on?ma? is sometimes delayed four days. This
natter bas caused considerable comment as it
?3 often the case that important letters.come
:oo late to be acted upon in proper time.
Respectfully, CONCERNED.
(We believe the fault lies with the railway
nail service. Judging from the blundering
nrork they give the public, many of the postal
railway clerks had better engage in some
>tber business, less taxing to the hand and
aead. Mistakes will occur occasionally even
with most efficient service, but the mistakes
aow made are not occasional ; they are of
?ootinaal occurrence, aud the country ls get?

The Osier Willow.
The following ts an answer to a letter from
Capt. Brownfield requesting information as to
Willow culture ;
MACON. GA., October 21, 1885.
R. J. Brownfield, Esq.?
DEAR SIB : Yours of thc 29th instant to
Capt. Johnston came to band this morning,
ind he has handed it to me for a reply.
To your first question, reply : I can furnish
cuttings of the Green Osier Willow at any
time for $5 per thousand for less than 5,000,
ind $4 per thousand for fire thousand or
more.
2. Cuttings can be taken from the growth
if one year.
3. In rows 5 feet apart and cuttings 15'
oches apart in rows it takes 6,700 cuttings to
Ihe acre.
4. They must be stripped and put up in
ibout 100 lbs. bundles for market.
5. Any land where the common willow
will grow will produce the Osier Willows,
mt yon must not let the common willow
jrow near the Osiers as they will ruin them
)j making them branch out. The Osiers grow
ike .tall grass without any limbs or bushes,
md they can be split from end to end without
>rcakiog.
6. Price given above.
7. Present prices from $160 to $175 per
on-in good times when there is a good call
br fancy work we get $200 per ton-and
oake about one and a half tous to the acre
ra the 3rd years' growth. Comparatively
lotbing can be realized from sale of the wil
DW8 until about the third year.
We are having great competition from the
o reign willows and from baskets made in
Europe and oar manufacturers are much dis
onraged as to the future prospects of their
'usiness. We are having a bill drawn up to
?O before Congress asking for a tax on the
ri Ho ws and on baskets. If that bill passes
re shall feel easy as to the fnture of the busi
ess, but if not I have my doubts About the
aising of the willows paying sufficient to
ompensate for the trouble, hence I do not
rlsh to advise any one to start its culture.
I am yours truly,

CABTKBS CROSSING, S. C., April 2, 1886.
Mr. Editor: The night of the30tb ultimo
?as remarkable. TbuDder cloud followed
bunder cloud for hours. The wind was
lowing such a gale that we did not koow of
[ie torrents of rain which fell, till next morn
ig, when an investigation ehowed the heav
;st rain-fall for years. However the rains did
orne good, for forest fires were raging in
very direction, and the fiogd effectually ex
inguished them.
Mr. James Reynolds, of Kershaw, lost one
f his barns and all his corn, except five bosh
Is, by the flames.
After the rain, instead of going on with
irm work, hauling manure, &c, we had to
aarpen up.our axes aud cut and roll Iog3.
Some are through coro planting, but I fear
iiat the heavy rain will causea bad stand,
he ground is packed very hard.
Of a ! 1 ?ccu patio ns, the farmer has thc one
lied with the most discouragements, and I
minot blame any one who leaves it for other
cupations. Those who have never tried
ave no idea of i ts diffioultirs. Land and
lantire washed away by storms; crops
arc-hed by drouth-but why repeat the long
ist of troubles. St. Paul says that all things

pondent that there is a possibility of Mack's
joing ?owhipped of justice, and escaping
tonviction because of the absence of the
prosecutor, Mr. Bunn, who, I am io formed, is
io Florida. It would be dreadful to have
that high-handed villain tamed loose upon
the community to commence again his work
of pillage and plunder, and it is to be hoped
the authorities will carefully guard every
avenue of escape. It is thought that Mack
was the instigator of tbe burning of the barn
Stable and mules of Rev.Job Jackson last year.
Jackson and Isaac McLauglin were prominent
colored Democrats who joined with their
white neighbors in the effort to suppress law?
lessness, and this doubtless provoked the
wrath of the outlaw, and hence the burning.
His escaping punishment would be most un?
fortunate. VOX.
(Io an interview with Sheriff Sanders he
says there is no danger of any miscarraige in
Mack's case ; and should the villain escape
conviction by the courts, he will swear out
a warrant de lun?tico and have him sent to the
Asylum. Mack is bound to go to Columbia.

SUMTER, S. C., April 1, 1886.
Mr. ?diter: I arrived at Sumter on the 7
o'clock train and took the 'bus fortheJervey
Hotel. After tea, I was informed by the
ever-jovial proprietor that there was to be a
meeting for the purpose of nominating Inten?
dant and Wardens for the town. Therefore
I embraced the opportunity, and wandered
up to the Music Hall where the citizens of the
town were gathered. I took my seat, and
looked around to "behold the mixture of
white, black, yellow, and a variety of other
colors. The Chairman, who was a white
man, called the meeting to order. Order, did
I say ? You would have thought it was an
international convention, made np of repee
sentatives from a hundred people, for surely
there were as many as a hundred different
hues, and twice that number of distinct dia
leets spoken. One large black, buck nigger
of Livingstone importation arose, and offered
a resolution "dat dis body do go ?oto 'lection
fur de Intender and warden seprate;" this
darkey's name I afterward learned was Dr.
R. D. Reed. His resolution was unanimous?
ly laid on the table. Then Mr. Ned Peterson
undertook to edify the meeting with aa out?
burst of eloquence equalled only by that of
Dr. Reed two years ago on the Court House
steps. Mr. Peterson re-numerated all the
good things he could think of abont the tick?
et be was to nominate and strenously omitted
all the bad things be could think of. It was a
ticket, he said "dat every mau orter vote fur,
be be white as snow, or black as scarlet. He
sat down amid the howls, and applause of the
African representation in the convention.
Dr. Reed then rose and nominated himself
for Warden, announcing at the same time
that he had a medicine that could cure
"Rhcumaty and oder tings : no matter wed?
der you rub it on or smell it, or drink it, it
would cure all de same." The harangue was
still going on, when one coon arose to "meek
?motion;" the chairman attempted to en?
force order, but he could not make himself
heard, for the uproar was great, and the house
tvas sirona. At last one p?ocky little white
xian got up, and moved to nominate the War?
iens singly, but the coons outvoted the ?
whites, and the mover gracefully retired,
imid cries from the darkeys of "come agin,"
"outer date," etc. At last I realized that it
was only a "coon meeting" slightly inter?
spersed with whites. I must say I felt sorry
for the chairman, but with the patience of, (
lob he held bis post until the storm had past. '
This meeting puts me very much in mind of 1*
the drummer, who once got a little "off,"
und strayed into a Moody and Sankey meet?
ing. He fell asleep before very long ; at the
conclusion of the sermon; Mr. Moody said J J
"Now all you folks who want to go to Heav?
en will plea3erise;" everybody butjtbedrum
mer rose. "Now" said Mr. Moody "ali who |
want to go to Hell please rise." The drum- j I
mer who had been aroused from his slumbers j 1
by the noise of the first rising, and thinking I *
the benediction was about to be announced 1
now staggered to bis feet. The preacher and
our "Knight of the road" were the only ones
standing. The drummer saw be had made a
binder, but he was equal to tbe situation.
Steadying himself against a post he turned to 1
Mr. Moody and said, "Well parson, I don't J
know what we are voting on, but yon and I
geem to be in a hopeless minority." So it
was at this municipal convention : the whites
were in a "hopeless minority."
FORT WAYNE.
The History of the Sumter Baptist1 '
Church.
BY C. C. BROWN.
NcMBER 8.
In Sept., 1829, "Brother Miller stated to
the Church that a person owning land ad?
joining the negro grave-yard of this Church
wished to purchase said grave-yard lot, or
exchange other land for the same." A com?
mittee of brethren Barrett and Rhame were
appointed to examine into the matter. Tbe
gentleman making the offer was Mr. A. T.
Morse. The negro grave-yard, I am inform?
ed waa situated, at that time, where Mr.
Reardon's stables now are. Mr. Morse, in
exchange, gave the two acres of land which
are still owned by the Church on Green
Street. This burying place went into disuse
in when the white and colored
cemeteries were provided as places of inter?
ment. The reason why Mr. Morse wished the
exchange was that he desired .to build near
the lot then used as a negro burying ground.
This lot comprised a half acre of the ground
on which Reardon now lives, aud the present
building there is the one erected by Mr.
Morse out of two houses which be built into
one. The side street was then known as
Lawrence Street. Titles were executed to
each party, with the proviso that Mr. Morse
would remove to the new lot all bodies inter?
red io the old. How many iu number these ?
were, we are not informed. i
In those days, charity sermons were preach?
ed by regular appointments on set occasioos,
the Church itself ?xing the day, KS, for in?
stance, "resolved that the charily sermon be
preached on the 3rd Lord's Day in October." j j
This was most assuredly au unwise rule. It j \
taught the people that at other times they
might dispense with the spirit of benevolence.
Such a rule would work something like the
August-protracted-iuceiir.g rule which says
virtually to the people, "Come lo the Saviour
in August; at other times, you need not vex
yourselves with the thought." However, in
some cases, a bad rule is heller than no rule
and thia is a case.
There are many persons who played a con?
spicuous part in the Church, whose names I
have not had occasion to repeat more than
once. 1 refer to the Wildere, Rhamcs, Dar?
rens, Dargans, H ay ns worths, Nortons, Sin?
gletons, and others. I notice that they were
always present at the Church for worship or
for business, and frequetly occupied promi?
nent piaefs on committees appointed to labor
in different directions. These haveall "fail
en on slet'p," and rest from their labors, and
others of the same l.ame stand in the place of
ihe holy.
In 1829, Bro. Barrett prepared a history of
the Church, up to that date, and sent it to
the Association. This is one of ihe tow
papers which Col. Miller failed to copy among
the minutes. The possession ofsucbapaper
might have saved me the labor I am uow
performing, and would have been pf curious
interest to us.
In the same year Bro. Barrett was chosen
as Deacon, and ordained bj Revs. Cook an
Hartwell. April 4 1830.
The Cbnrch bad some trouble in s?bcuin.
an impetuous sister who refused to come t
Cbnrch because "she had objections to som
of the members." Thi9 was a wise course
and it is to be regretted that thc Churcl
"dropped their investigation of the case" be
fore the said sister was made to suffer for he
folly. It would have been just as sensibl
for ber to discontinue trading at a store be
cause certain objectionable persons tradei
there.
Baptist Associations are not legislativ
bodies, and never make laws. The forefath
ers imagined however that an Associatioi
would-be a good place to get hard question
answered, so in this year (1829) they sent nj
the following from the Sumterville flock :
"1. What should a deacon do to whom A.
a member of his Church, says that B., a mern
ber of another Church, wishes to commune ii
A.'a Church, and he (A.) says he canno
commune with B..?*'
"2. What shall be done if B. says he can
not commune with C. because there are re
ports in circulation injurious to his charac
ter?"
"3. When there is an evil report of a mern
ber, not distinctly known by any member o
the Church, whose duty is it to bring it to tb<
notice of the Church ?"
One, at least of these questions is stil
awaiting a positive and definite answer. Hovi
the righteous souls of the elders mast have
been perplexed io framing proper solutions
There is an adage that "wise men make ques?
tions for fools to answer." Genuine and un?
adulterated ignorance is displayed at its besi
when one attempts to answer puzzles ol
which be knows nothing.
During 1829 there were quite a number ol
additions, and when the Church sent up its
report to the Association, the statistics were
ss follows; Baptized 13, dismissed 1, exclud?
ed 1, dead 1, received by letter 2; total 81.
Sextons in those days were not expensive
luxuries, and "it was resolved that Trim be
allowed three dollars for his services !ast
vear in opening the Church, and the same for
this year."
In a previous article, mention was made of
i note of Wm. Potts' given by Mr. Burrell
Fort to the Church. This note was collected
in 1829, and expended in ceiling the Church
overhead, trimming trees, digging up stumps
in the yard, &c. Fifteen dollars of it were
paid for communion plates and twenty-three
lol lars for a cup.
"Sunday, March 14. 1830, Mr. John Net
lies was married to Miss Elizabeth J. Miller,
by Rev. J. li. Cook, in the Church."
"Peter, (a servant of Col. Spann,) made
implication for leave to exhort and pray
tm on gs t the negroes, which was granted, and
brethren Fort and Potts were requested to
rive him instructions." This was a modest
little theological seminary which doubtless
j ceo nj pi is h ed good.
It was not uncommon in those days for all
the male members to be present at a business
neeiing. and the fact is mentioned over and
?gain.
About 1830, frequent references are made
to the meetings of the Union. This Church
remained a member of the Sumter Union
antil 1875. It may be well to say, for the
Denefit of those who may not know, that these
anion meetings are held on every fifth Sunday,
ind are kept np for educational and mission?
ary purposes and to maiotain a unity of feel?
ing among the Churches.
July 2, 1831. "Bro. Miller informed the
Church that some gentlemen in the village
ind vicinity had purchased a bell for the use
)f the Church, aDd had delivered the same to
aim. On motion, resolved that the same be
iccepted and the thanks of the Church be re?
lumed by Bro. Hartwell from the pulpit ou
:o-morrow."
Certain funds on hand were appropriated
;o the hanging of the bell, aud some one
raised the question as to the need of enlarg
ng the Church building. This is a token of
growth, and shows that the Church was
rising in importance and power.
A little "Cupola," as Col. Miller terms it
svas erected for the bell, and Mr. T. J. Cogh?
lan was employed to hang it.
July 1, 1832. "Amos A. Nettles was ex
imined by a part of the members at the place
)f baptism, and they being satisfied, he was
aaptized."
Burrell Fort died in August, 1832.
In 1833, Trim's yearly salary as sexton
tvas raised to six dollars.
"On motion, it was resolved (Aug. 31,
1833) that J. B. Miller be authorized to give
my of the colored members that may move
iway a letter of dismission, if they are in
good standing."
The first mention of the name of Rev. H.
Vf. Mahoney in connection with this Church
is made on page 165 of the Minutes when it is
stated that he was present here at a Union
Meeting. Bro. Mahoney was at that tim?
ibout learing the Institution on the Hills
tvhere he had been prosecuting bis studies.
At this writing he is still in the field, old and
ren?rable, and has the respect of hundreds
who know him.
The Presbyterians had appointed Sept. 28
\3 a communion season, but owing to the
meeting of the Unioa, they decided not to
bare it, whereupon the Baptists voted, "For
this mark of brotherly regard we feel very
grateful."
Rev. Mr. Hartwell's salary was cut down
to two hundred dollars in March 1834. This
(ras a bad sign, and prepares us for knowing
that this was the last year of his pastorate
bere.
"Resolved to have no collection until the
Fall." What could the good brethren mean
Dy this? The fountain of their liberality
must suddenly have gone dry.
1834 was not a prosperous year. Some of
[he members were reported for misdemeanors.
They also found it necessary to allow three
to constitute a quorum for attending to bus?
iness, and the pastor was requested to preach
j sermon on the duty of attending Church
md Church meetings.
No mention is yet made of Mr. Hartwell's
resigning, but on Aug. 17, 1834. a comtuuni
:ntion was sent to the'Bethel Church sug?
gesting that the two Churches employ a pas?
tor in concert. A committee from each
Dhurch took the matter in hand. (I find, fur?
ther ou in the Mioutes, that this had refer?
m?e to securing a pastor for 1835, Mr. Hart?
well having said that he conld not serve
them.)
Dec. 7, 1834. On this day, Mr. Hartwell
preached bis farewell sermon. The Church
?ave him a letter of Christian commendation,
expressive of their regard for biro, aud agreed
to pay him $250 instead of $200 as salary.
Bro. Miller then informed them that Rev. Jas.
DuPre was willing to preach for the Church
nest year, and he was employed at a salary
of $250, to preach on two Sundays in each
mouth. It was a source or" pleasure to the
Church to know that the pastor would reside
among them. Bro. Du Pre removed his mem?
bership from the Charleston Church to this
one on May 2, 1835. He probably began his
work here in January before.
Sept. 5, 183*>. In the record of this day wc
find the first trace of the war and bloodshed
which many of the fathers were spared from
witnessing: "Resolved that uo preacher who
is a member of an abolition pai ty be permit?
ted to preach in this Church." The storm
was brewing.
Towards the end of 1835 the name of Henry
Haynsworth begins to appear prominently in
the Minutes. Mr. H. is still withstanding the
storm of years. Though now much enfeebled,
it must bc a source of pleasure to him to
know that be has occupied a good aod valiant
place among those who sought to build up a
Christian Church and perpetuate the doctrines
of Jesus. We shall learn, after a w hile, that
he succeeded Col. Miller in the office of Church
Clerk, which place be occupied for a number
of years. He was received for baptism on
Jan. 2, 1836, and baptized the next day.
Rev. Jas. DuPre was called to the pastorate
again in Jan. 1836 and besides bis salary of
$250, the Church agreed to pay his board if
he would reside in the town.
Sunday, Feb. 21, 1836, Mr. Wm. J. Sin?
gleton and Miss Hortensia Haynsworth were
married at the Church, in the afternoon, by
Rev. Jas. Du Pre.
What it Costs to Live.

Two-fifths of the above enormous

Physicians don't hesitate to use, prescribe or
endorse Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic, as
will be seen by reading the following:
COLCXBIA, S. C., July, 1884.
Westmoreland Bros.-Gentlemen ; I have
very thoroughly tested yonr Calisaya Tonic,
and do not hesitate to pronounce it a most
remedial agent. As a stomachic and general
tonic it is unsurpassed. For eliminating ma?
larial poisons from the system and repairing
their deleterious effects ; for rebuilding, rein?
vigorating and giving tone to the system
when reduced by protracted or severe fevers
or other debilitating causes, there is in my
judgment no other preparation in the whole
field of medicines equal to it. But especially
is it useful in malarial disorders, both as a
curative a%d a prophylactic.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the -patient to suppose
he bas some affection of the kidneys or neigh?
boring organs. At tiroes, symptoms of indi?
gestion are preseut, fiaiuleccy, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira?
tion, producing a very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind. Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at

Remedy, which acts directly upon the part3
affected, absorbing the To mors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure, j
