THE HUMBLE LOVER. BT WIIXUM COM3TUCK. Several years since, a young Southerner was walking doffu Broadway with his bride. As the thr rig was great, anJ this couple were engaged in pleasing conversation, they did not immediately preceive that jhoy were followed by a young man, who took erery occasion o approach the lady and. touch her with his elbow. At lengih, however, they were surprized by the tones of a Strang; voice near them. 'Let that woman alone she is a married woman I know her well. Drop her at once. You ought to be ashamed to play your pranks with a married woman. Both turned and saw the intruder, who had, by this time, placed himself at the lady's Side, and offering her his arm, continued - 'Let go ofhim, good woman, and come with me. Til take you home to your family.1 Surprised and irritated, the young husband was on the point of telling the omcious wed dler to the earth, with a biow ol the fist, when it occurred to him that the lad must be either an idiot or a Bedlamite; and, up on a closer survey or his countenance, he was convinced that the onender was irresponsible for his actions. The same high cense of honor that had once induced the Southerner to risk his life in single combat with the asperser of his reputation, now check ed his anser and unnerved his arm. He scorned to offer violence to a man whose mind had lost the guidance of reason. lie commanded the youth to desist, but he was not attended to. The young man persisted in following the couple, offering the lady his arm, and bidding her husband release her and give her into his custody. This singular scene began to attract the notice of others. Men and women slopped to gaze, and, as the Southerner lifted his eyes, he saw a cbimney-sweeper grinning from ear to ear, while surveying the group below from his lofty perch in the top of a chimney, on the opposite side of the street. The situation oi the gentleman was peculiar. He was on the point of releasing the lady, and permitting her to enter a store, while ha should deal alone with the intruder, when another individual joined the group. This was a middle aged man, in the dress of an ordinary mechanic, who laid his hand on the shoulder ot the youth, and sternly dade him go home. The unfortunate obeyed, but not until he bad repealed his demand that the married woman should be released. The stranger, who proved to be the father of the . .offender, then approached the Southerner, and politely thanked him for his moderation, apologizing on behalf of the youth, wiih more grace,and in bettsr language than could have been expected from a man in a green jacket. The Southerner became interested in the conversation of the other, and, when he reached his hotel, he invited him to his room, where the following history of the uufortunate youth was given by the lather: My unhappy boy does not always behave in so rude a manner. In order to alleviate his distress of mind, he occasionally swallows a glass of liquor. It requires hut a smill quantity to upset his reason, and then he is a prey of vain imaginations. When free from the influence of ardent spirits, he is perfectly sane, and behaves discreetly. I have already hinted that he is suffering from disappointed love. Several yoars ago I procured him a situation in a merchant house in this city. He was an under clerk, and gave great satisfaction to his employer, who boarded him in his own family. It was generally believed that he would become an excellent accountant and salesman. The merchant had seveial daughters. The youngest was near the age of my son, and was very beautiful. She was just ripening into womanhood, and her graces made an impression upon the heart of the lad, which can never be effected. But 1 am a little before my story, for I should have told you that Edward for that is my sop's name was always remarkable for his candor and sincerity. He knew nothing of art or disguise, and, even in his early child. hood, he never had recourse to disimulation to hide a fault. It seemed impossible for him .o swerve from the truth on any occasion. It was this peculiar disposition which led him to take every thing for gospel that was told him, as he had no conception of fraud or deceipt. I was pleased wiih the simplicity of character which so strongly marked my son, and forbade any one to jest in his presence, lest he might gradually lose his regard for truth. Thus his mind was guarded from er ror, and he nover lost his sincerity. You may well believe Jljat my son s unwavering integ fity recommended him to the merchant. tt was, indeed, very much attached to the boy, and, tieated him more like a son than a hireling. '1 am sorry to say the young fadies did not seem to admire this simplicity of characte jn my son. They were rather disposed to take advantage of it, and appeared to imag ino that his want ofduplicity wasan evidence pf a shallow intellect. But, sir, my son was pot a foot. He was ignorant 'concerning evil, but wise in that which is good.' Unde yiating truth is not always adapted to the furtherance of wordly purposes. The foun datioo is too broad (or petty schemes or word y policy, and its superstructure pierces th shadows of death, and is lighted with the glo Ties of eternity. 1 he strictly honest and sincere men is, therefore, thought a fool for his pains. The beginning and the end of his work cannot bo taken in at a glance, like those works of human wisdom which are completed on earth. My son frequently paid us a visit, and he at length began to speak of the merchant's youngest daughter in terms of praise which let us into his secret. I candidly told him that he was laying up sorrow for himself, as as it could not be supposed that the proud daughters of a wealthy merchant, would con descend to smile upon the son of poverty, and dependence. He replied with joy sparkling in his eye, that the young lady had given him every reaison to believe that his passion was returned, ' When he was detained at the store by any rmergericy, she B'puld defer entering until his arrival, in order that she tnight dine alone with him; and when she had an errand to the shop in the evening, she would always accept his company with pleasure. Vy hen he praised tin, she cast her eyes down, and a glow of happines overspread her counten

ance. In short, there were a thousand proo is that her love was equal to his. 1 was my

self deceived by these accounts of her conduct, and no longer cautioned Edward again?! presumption. He seemed to live in a per fect delirium of joy. His sparkling counte nance to d the happiness which dwelt in his heart. He seemed to live upon love, for, although he ate little, his appearance improv ed, llis cheeks bloomed like roses, and his eyes was as brilliant as the stars. He saved his scanty earnings, deny ing himself many necessane which his condition required, un til he had amassed a clever little sum of money, all of which he expended fir a costly jewel. The young lady accepted hisprespresent very graciously, and he was in raptures. 'A lew days after presenting this jewel, Edward was sent, by his employer, to call i he young ladies to tea. As he approached the boudoir iu which they were, be heard the sound of immoderate laughter, and soon distinguished the voice of the young lady herself. She was speaking of Ed ward; was ridiculing his love, and describing in a graph ic manner, the awkwardness which ha ex hibited in presenting the jewel, which had cost him the fruit of six months' toil in the coun.in? house. When he knocked at the door, and it was opened, ihe young lady ai once assumed a modest, and even timid de meanor, while Edward observed that her. sisters winked slyly at cacii other. Other developments now took place, which left no doubt on the mind of Ed ward that the young lady had been trifling with his ardent pass ion, and had even secreted her sisters in an adjourning apartment, in oider that they might lis'en, ujiperceived to his declarations when be fancied himsell alone with the girl he loved. Wiien Edward retired, the young lady would join her sisters and they would make merry at his expense. 'I well recollect the time that my s n made these discoveries. He entered the house while we were at supper. He spoke not a word, but sunk, like one exhausted by toil, into a chair. His lace was as pale as death his lips quivered, and his eyes assumed the glassy appearance of a person in the last ag onies. We were alarmed, and inquired if he was ill. He. frankly told us what' had hap pened, and then begged me to help him lo his chamber. "hat chamber he never lefi until ten days nail expired, and wnen ne came lorin he resembled a skeleton, tie has never smiled since, a'thouli his intel lect undistiibuted, save when, in moments he was unable to endure the totturing ttflec lions which harass his true heart, he will swallow a glass of spirits, and then he raves incoherently, as you may have pbseiyed (his day. The merchant called for several das. to tiiqune after Ldward s health; being very distrous to have his services; hut Edward could never be induced lo see him and we, on our part, never revealed to the merchant the cause of this malady. Here ended the narration, but not the ac quaintance between the Southerner and the mechanic. The former called several times at the house of the latter, and evinced real sympathy for the voung man who had so harassed him while walking with his lady in Broadway. While the Southerner was preparing to re. urn to his native state, he had occasion to call at a pawnbrokers office. A friend of his, while on a visit to New iork, had lost a valuable article which was supposed to have been pawned. He had requested this genleman lo make some inquiries respecting it. On entering the pawnbrokers office, the Southerner observed several persons at the counter. One of them was ab.iul piwn'ng some ar ticle which she said she would redeem in a few days, and wanted lo be very sure that it would be taken good care of; 'for,' said she, in broken accents, 'it is' the gift of one very, very dear to me. Ourgentleman was interested, and took pains to see the article, which proved to be a valuable jewel. I he young lady was also very beautiful. He despatched his business as soon as possible, and hurried after he maiden. He courteously begged her to listen to him. lie told her he would give her the money to redeem the. jewel immedi ately, if she- wished. She hesitated but on fixing her eyes on tho Southerner s counteu ance, she read nothing ihere but high honor and disinterested sympathy . She accepted the offer, for she could not retuse, so urgent was her benefactor. On their way to the office, she told the Southerner that she had been, recently, the child of affluence; but that, during the tre mendous crash in the mercantile world, that had occurred but a short time belore, her father had failed had been utterly ruined. This disaster sent him to the grave, aud hei mother's death soon followed. She was now very poor, aud nothing but the most pressing want could have induced her to piwn that jewel ;Mor, alas! said she, it was presented to me by one whom 1 have since learned to prize, bui whose consian heart I trampled upon, and whose devoted affection I treated us a matter of jest aud merriment, i oo dearly have I since learn ed how to prize true friendship, and to des pise hollow-hearted insincerity.'. The Southerner evinced great emotion but he accompanied tha lady to ihe door ol the Dawn-broker's office. When she came out, he was wailing for her. 'Pray, madam,' said he, 'would you have anv objection to act aa governess in a very respectable family V 'I should be. glad of the opportunity,' she replied, with a took of gramude which wen tq his heart. Then como with me. I will introduce you at once.' They walked about half a mile together when they reached ihe house of Edwaid's father, He ushered her in without ceremony. The parents of Edward, were seaieo before the fire. Both rose on the entrance of the Southerner, aud he called for Edward who immediately came from another apart ment. .in the moment that the lady beheld him, she exclaimed 'Mercitul Providence it is he the lost tlie beloved Edward T The youth rushed forward and caught he in his arms, as she was sinking to the floor completely overpowered by the shock which this sudden introduction occasioned her 'Maria! Maria T cried Edward, 'can ibis be you? Awake! look up, and tell me it is.' 'AniazemerrP exclairnvd the father; 'ihi must be Miss Ue Frost!'Maria De Frost!' cried the Southerner. now in his turn surprized; and he smote hi hands together joyfully. By this time Maria had recovered her con sctousuess. When the first transport bad. in some degree; snbsided, the Southerne

stepped forward aud took the baud of the

young lad'. "Miss De Frost said he, I have sought for you in every genteel part of the city. You had an uncle in South Carolina, by the name of WiUiam De Frost. You were a great favorite ol his when a child. He has recent ly died, and left you the handsome sum of fifty thousand dollars. I am his executor, and can, therefore, pay over the money immediately.' 'Happy am I, then, cried Maria, as she turned again to Edward, 'to be able to throw at tho feet of my constant and injured lover, a treasure, which, however, turns to dross when compared with his ciucerity, and his generous forgiveness of my former folly.' 'Then I, alone, am unhappy,' said the Southerner. 'This hand seperated a tender and devoted couple this hand made a young and beautiful bride a widow: I saw her distraction as she flew to the bloody field, where lay a victim of false honor, the friend and playmate of my youth. Yet, in joining together two loving hearts, I feel relieved ol half my burden. My heart will beat less oppressively when 1 hear his name, aud my brain will burn less fervidly, when I hear the plaintive tones of his desponding widow.' A Mexican Edem. A naval officer writing to the Washington Union from Tuspan River, Mexico, says : "You never, in all your dreams or fancies, pictured lo yourself as perfect a paradise as this country; The riyer is never disturbed but by gentle and cooling zephyrs, aud meanders through a country over which reigns a perpetual spring. The land is ricli and fertile, yielding of some things two crops, of others, three a year. The common production, of the soil, almost without cultivation, are corn, sugar cane, tobacco, and wheat. The articles abounding in abundance, without cultivation, are dry woods such as log wood and vanilla beans; oranges, pine-apples, bananas, aud a thousand other delicious fruits and luxuries. Papeta, ihe hemp plant of this country, and far superior to Manilla, grows wild all over ihe country. Deer, wild tuikeys, pintridges, wild hogs and cattle, are numerous in fact, nature has done every thing for this country, and man nothing. If you could induce from four to five families to emigrate here, they would be more happy and wealthy in one year, than they would be in any part of the United Slates in four or five. The land js held here in common; and any person, by paying 25 to tlie municipal authorities, can take upas much land as he can work, and hold it during h 8 own lifeiime, and his chijdren can do the same. You can also enter a pre ernplion, and keep the land by purchasing from government at the rate of ten cents an acre. .If this country was in the possession, or I should say a part of the United States, with its natural passes, the difficulty of access, and the vast resources which would soon develpe themselves, it would become, in a few years, the most weal, ihy and powerful nation on earth. It onl) requires to be inhabited by a free and en ightened community. Ihe production of the vanilla bean alone (and it can cnly be raised here) would produce more wealth in his province than is made in the whole State of New York, Pennsylvania, and Vir ginia combined ; everything at present is wild, beautiful and abundant. In my most reamy imagination, I never pictured to my sell so beautiful a country; nor could I give you, by the most, excited or lively desctipion,lhe least idea of this paradise. " Sinolr Delusion and Gross Imposture. A singular case of delusion, occurred in N, Y. Paschal B. Smith, formeily a merchant, now residing io Cincinnati, with about 100, 0J0, became a leading member of a com munity called the Brotherhood, organized lor the purpose ot speculation. 1 lie ailiir required money, and they pretended that through an "'oracle,' who was put into a mesmeric state, they could hold communion with the spiritual world. In this "oraclo1" Mr. Smith had confidence, and felt bound to receive its messages as divine commands. Heavy drafts were made upon his purse, un til $46,000 of Mr. Smith's property have been used up, and he has not (or it even a claim upon the property purporting to belenu to the Brotherhood. I he young man who figured as "oracle," lived in an extravagant style, kept his fast horses, dined and wined oifofthe best in the city. Smith's wife re monstrated he believed her hostile to his interests went to live with the race, ami adverted I. is place for sale, Then Mrs. Smith applied to the law to take charge of l.er husband s properly, as he was incapable. A Duellist, found Guilty. Thos. Rogeis, a schoolmaster, has been tried and found guilty, at Lancaster, Pa., of sending a chal lenge to fight a duel to Mr. Shenk, one ol the School directors. The punishment is a fine of live hundred dollars, and one year in ihe penitentiary. A motion has been made lor a new trial. The prisoner made a speeci to the Court, after the verdict was tender ed.. It appears he had been "a student of Trin ity College, Dublin, that he had been prom ised the bishoprick of Rapho, (Ireland;) that being disappointed in this, he was then ol fered the commission of Colonel in the Brit ish army, hut that he declined ns an insuffi cient indemni'y for the losi of a bishoprick He was then premised a General's commis sion, after a certain number of years' sojourn in Arnenca. In consequence of these milt tary expectations, the prisoner considered himsell bound to challenge any one who tri tied with him, and still adheard to his deter miiiatiou to shoot Mr. Shenk if he refused to fighi." The prisoner is evidently a gentle man of good education , and from the fact? disclosed, has been engaged in various pi a ces as a teacher. CoxFtOKNCK of th b People, When the revolutionist? who won the Republic fo France had forced their way into the Palais Roal and hadteached -he apartments ol Gen Athal'n, one Louis Phillippe's aidsrde camp they encountered ihe General's lady, a woman of dignified stature and appparance,whorn the General had esposed from her rare beauty heing but the daughter ot a poor fisherman of Granville. "My friends," she exclaimed, "1 1 rust you have not come here to offer any injury to myself or mv husband, am nm one of your Jine ladies, but a daughter of the people; 1 throw myselt.then confidently on your protection. B it I will not leave tny husband; he is confined to his bed by illness." fThe hand were struck with the boldness ot the appeal. They repaired to the General's chamber, placed him in an arm-chair, and headed by this daughter of the people, thev

conveyed him io a friend's house in the neighborhood. On reaching his destination, the General recollected of leaving a sum of 130,000 f. (5,200) in notes and gold in his desk. He handed the key of the desk to a working man in a blouse, who he did not know. An hour alter, the man returned with every sou of the money. This is by no means a solitary instance of the disinterestedness and nobility of mind displayed by the people du ring these most glorious three days.

Generosity! It will be recollected that Mr. Zebulon Paine of Conway, was pardoned out of tho State Prison in New Hampshire in January last, on the ground of innocence, he having been convicted in November,184G, by means of false testimony, of having hired a boy to burn a barn. The case of Mr. Paine was recently brought before the Legislature of New Hampshire, and a committee was appointed lo investigate the subject. It appeared that Paine, while in the Slate Prison, sullered much in health, aud that, though restored to liberty, he has not been and may never be restored to that bodily strength and vigor which be possessed before confinement. He expended his all in making defence; the means of support and necessaries of life were taken from his family, and his son sold his only cow to pjovide means to secure the protection of innocence. In view ol these facts; the report of the committee says: 'For all this money .can make no recompense. The commonwealth has had, however, his earnings for fourteen months; these she can and should repay, not stintedly, as if she grudged it, but freely, amply, and cheerfully; as if she were as ready to repair as redres3 an injury, earnest not less to do justice to the innocent than to punish the guilty." The committee accordingly reported a resolve forgiving him $200, to 6e doled out to him or his family by the Se lectin eu ol Conway. Judge Colquitt and thk Deacon. A year ot two ago ex-Senator Colquitt was attending a religious protracted meeting iu Harris county, in this State. One evening alter the exercises ot the day had been con ided and the Judge had retired to the house of an old and pious friend in the vi cinity to spend the night, it came to pass that some young men and boys commenced a game of marbles in the yard, when ihe eminent statesman and divine 'stightway' oined them. In the midst of the game, and when the ex Senator was about "knuckle n down to shoot," ihe party were surprised by the appearance of the host, whose countenance was the piciure of astonishment and despair. "Ah! brother Colquitt," said he, "in hea ven I will re called upon to testify against you for this very crim?!" "Don t be alarmed brother S " said Judge C, as he shot and bawled out 'kicks,' 'you will not be there, and nothing" but oral testimony is admissable in that high court! Mountain (Ga ) Eagle. Monthly Bulletin. Ko. 3. HPHIS world has ever been the scene of the fircest L struggles between Truth and error. No sooner does 'Truth propound an important theory, than error, with its lemon of allies, seeks to arrest its pro gress. . A most illustrious instance of this, was the opposition made to the immortal Jenner. His master mind was led, under Providence, to the discovery of Vaccination, by which that dreadful scourge, the small pox, was robbed ot its terrors. He round that the matter from pustules upon the udder ot a cow contained a principle which would produce the almost divine results for which he had so patiently and anxously sought. Oppositon arose. Interested persons high in social rank and professional position, ridiculed what they dared not deny! They asserted that many vaccinated persons became covered with hair, and even exhibited horns r and a tail; arid that in one case a child ran on all lours, bellowing like a bull. cut tne current was soon turned. 1 he Uritish Parliament voted him .20,000 sterling ($100,000,) and the world sansr his oralis.

DISEASE OF THE HEART, RUPTURE AND . DROPSY- J New York. July, 22, 1846. Dr. Towssend Dear Sir : My wile has been afflicted with a terrible rapture for over fifteen years, the greater patt of the time. She haa been troubled with shortness of breath & great fluttering ot the heart which has been very distressing, and has trequently been uuable to leave her bed. The rupture was very large and severe. She tried almost every remedy tor such cases with but little benefit. When she had taken but three bottles of your excellent medicine she was entirely relieved of the disease of the heart, and the rupture nas almost entirely disappeared. She has also had the dropsy, and was very much swollen. We had no idea that she could be so benefited, as she had such a complication of diseases. But it has, as strange as it may appear, relieved her of the dropsy. I am aware that this statement is so strange as to appear almost like fiction, but it is sober reality. Your Sarsaparilla is certainly a valuable medicine, and should be used by every one that s suffering as we have been. If any disbelieve this account, they are at liberty to call at my house and have ocular demonstration. Yours, respectfully, WILLIAM TOWSER, 1 James st. DYSPEPSIA. No fluid or medicine has ever been discovered which so nearly resembles the gastric juice or saliva in decomposing tood and strengthening the organs ot digestion as this preparation ol Sarsaparilla. it positively cures every case of dyspepsia, however severe or chronic. Bank Department, Albany, May 10, 1845, Dr. Townsend -Sir : I have been afflicted for several years with dyspepsia in its worst form, attended with sourness of stomach, loss of appetite, extreme heartburn, and a great aversion to all kinds of food, and for weeks (what 1 could eat) I have been unable to retain but a small portion on my stomach. I tried the usual remedies, but they had little or no effect in removing the complaint. I was induced, about two months since, to try your extract of Sarsaparilla, and 1 must say with little confidence: but after using nearly two bottles, I found my appetite restored and the heartburn entirely removed; and 1 would earnestly recommend the use of it to those who have been afflicted as 1 have been, Yours, &c.

Frequent and heavy rain, followed by intense and long continued heat, had the effect, in the first place, to promote a rapid growth of succulent vegetation, and in the second, to produce a rapid do. composition of vegetable matter, giving rise to much miixwna and spreading sickness, disease ond death. in l which had heretofore been remarkable for their sa.ubritv. We are credibly informed, that whole meadows, on which the grass was unusually heavy, rotted to the ground and was not fit to be cut. In Indiana and Illinois, the sickness was so general, that there was not enough well persons to attend upon the sick, whose sudi rings were protracted by a want of proper remedies, as well as of good nursing. Much of this suffering might have been prevented, had every fam ilv kept on hand a supplv of medicines suited to coun teract the effects of this miasma, with which the at mosphere at certain times is surcharged. In nddi tion to Quinine, (which is in such general use as to need no comment,) we would strongly urge every family to keep on hand one or more boxes ot 1)r M'Lane's Liver Pills." These Pills are the prescription of an eminentPliV' sician in Monongahala Co.

Such, however, was the success to the rills, and so great the number of persons beu etited by them, that the making of the quantity requi site to supply the increasing demand, began to inter' tore materially with the time required to attend to his practice.

Hurt's - ejji'lubie Uxuacii IS the only remedy that can be relied on for the per manent cure ofSpinal Complaints, Spasmodic Contractions, Irritation of the Kerves, Kervous or Sick Headache, Nervous Tremors, Neuralgic Affections, Apoplexy, Paralysis, General Debility, Deficiency oi Nervous and Physical Energy, and all Nervous Disorders, including the most dreadful of alt diseases that ever affect the human race Epilepsy, or Falling Sickness, Hysterical Fits, Convulsions, tpasms, &c This disease consists in a sudden deprivation of the senses, accompanied with a violent convulsive motion of the whole body. It attacks by fits, and otter a certain duration goes off, generally leaving the sufferer in a stupor, attended with great weakness and exhaustion of the body. Doctor Hart would impress it upon the minds of the afflicted, that the Vegetable Extract is the only remedy ever discovered that can be relied on for the permanent cure of this most dreadful of all diseases. As its tendency is to insanity, madness and death, the most Skillful Physicians of Europe, as well as those of our own country, have pronounced Epilepsy incurable. And it has been so considered by many, until this most important of all discoveries was made by Doctor S. Hart, nearly sixteen years since, during: which time it has been performing some of the most Remarkable Cures upon record, and has acquired a reputation which time alone can efface. Physicians of undoubted skill and experience, Ministers of various denominations, as well as hundreds of our eminent citizens, all unite in recommending the use of this tiuly valuable medicine to their patients, charge, and friends, who are thus afflicted, as die only remedy. ' .We Quote the Language used by those who hava been cured by this valuable medicine. One says, "I have aiifT.rMl lipv.inH mv nnwer of deftriDtion. but now I rejoice in being lully restored to health and happiness." Another says, "I thank God I feel that 1 am a well man. 1 also feel it my duty to proclairri it to the ends of the earth, that those similarly afflict-" ed may find relief. Another, (who is an Eminent Lawyer, and well known in this city.) says, "My son has been afflicted for years with Epilepsy, but is now enjoying good health from the V egetable Ex tract. Its tame," says he, "should and ought to be sounded to the ends of the earth." Another says, "Language isentirely inadequate to express mygratitude to Dr. Hart, for having been the means, under the blessing of God, of restoring me to the enjoyment ot good nealtn, alter Having ueen annctea witn epilepsy in its worst forms for more than twenty-threa years and my morning and evening oblation of praise and thanksgiving shall continue to ascend to that God who has afflicted but to make me whole." Epilectic Fits Of twenty seven years and six months, cured by the use of this Truly Wonderful Medicine. . Read tho following remarkable case of the son of Win. Secore, Esq., of Philadelphia, afflicted with Epileptic Fits twenty seven years and six months. After traveling through England, Scotland, Germany, and France, consulting the host eminent physicians, and expending for medicine, medical treatment and advice three thousand dollars, returned with his son to this country, in November last, without receiving any beneht whatever, and was cured by using Hart's V egetable Extract. Mr. Wm. Secore's Letter to Dr. Hart: I have spent over three thousand dollars for medicine and medical attendance. 1 was advised to take a'tour to Europe with him, which I did. I first visited England. I consulted the most eminent physicians there in respect to his case; ihcy examined him and prescribed accordingly. I remained theje three months without perceiving any changj for the Letter, which cost me about two hundred and fifty dollars, pocketed by the physician, and (he most that I received was their opinion diat my son's case was hopeless and Positively Incurable. I accordingly left Enfland, traveled through Scotland, Germany and 'ranee, ond returned home in t ie month of November last, with my son as far from being cured as when I left. . I saw your advertisement in one of the New York papers, and concluded to try Hart's Vegetable Extract, seeing your statements and certificates of so many cures, some of twenty and thirty years standing, and I can assure you I am not sorry 1 did so, as by the use of Hart's V egetable Extract alone, he was restored to Perfect Health. His reason, which was so far gone as to unfit him for busimas, is entirely restoied, with the prospect now before him ot lile, health and usefulness. He is how 26 years of age. and 27 years 6 months of this time has been afflicted with this most dreadful ol diseases, but, thank God, is now enjoying good heulth. Now, sir, liuth without works I don't believe in.

At the age of six years, (her age at present is sixteen) she was first attacked with this dreadful malady called Epileptic Fits; and until she commenced taking the Extract, she suffered with attacks of fits, almost incessantly, and so se verely as to threaten to drive reason from its thione, and render her insane Idiotic. Physicians pronounced her incurable, and cau'dco nothing more for her. We had almost despaired of a cure, wnen hearing of the remarkable cures performed by the Vegetable Extract, we determined to give it a trial.

Mothers who have small children should remember this, many AiMLD,tnc past year. who has suffered with this complaint, and nas been given over by physicians to die, has been restored by the use ot but one notueoi tiarrs egetaoie extract. The child of William Anderson, North Fourth street, Williamsburgh, aged 20 months, had fits constantly for eight weeks. A consultation of physicians was called, who decided that the case was a hopeless one, and the child must die. Whilst the child was in this dangerous state Mr. Anderson calld at my office and obtained a bott'.e of . the Extract, administered it to the child, and the result was a perect restoration of health. The son of Mr, Robert McGee, corner of Sullivan and Prince streets, New York, was severely afflicted with fits. In this case also the physicians held a consultation and decided that they could do no more and that nature must effect its own cure, or the boy must die. The Vegetable Extract was administered to him whilst in a fit, by one of the attending physicians. Its effects were almost instantaneous. The fits was broken, and the boy restored to health. Mr. McGee says, "I shall never again be without the medicine in ihy house, if I can avoid it, for fear that some of the rest of my children may be attacked in thesame way.
