CURED OF CClI\'SU‘.\'ll.*"I‘lO.\'l
“ It is seldoni we permit ourselves to occu
py a space in these columns to 5, iik in praise
of any article in the patent uicdicitre way: but
when we see the life of a fellow creature
saved by the use. of any niedicir.e whatever,
we consider it as our rigltt, if not a duty. to
give a simple statemetit of facts, that others
may, in like manner, be benefitted. The case
which has induced us to pen this ‘article, was
that of a young lady of our acqitaititance. who
by frequent exposure to the night air, contrac-
ted a cold, which settled on the Lungs before
its ravages could be stayed. (This (icc'.‘.t'l'€Ll
two ago this winter.) Various l’(‘.lllet‘llE’S were
used. but: with very little ctl1—~ct. r>r benefit.
The cough grew worse, with copious expecte-
ra't.ion,and the sunken eye. and pale, hollow
cheek, told plaitily that Pulmonary Disease
was doing its worst on her delicate fraine.
The family physician was consulted. and al-
though he would not admit to the young lady
that she really had the Ctiosuiiiptioii. yet he
would give no encouragement. as” to a cure.
Attliis crisis, he.r mother was persuaded to
make use of a bottle of Dr. Rogei's’Coiiipounrl
Syrup of LlVER\VORT. TAR, A ND C.-\L\i-
C-HALAGUA, anll we are happy to state, she
was perfectly cured in less than three months
by this medicine alone, after every hope was
destroyed. It. is useless to continent. on such
a case as this, for the simple truth will reach
where polislicd fiction never can. If any
doubt the au‘theiit.it-ily of this statement, let
them call at this offico.—— U. .5‘. fllilitary and

' Ai.n.-\.\'Y, June 9th, 1849.
Messrs. A. L. Scovill (V5 Co.———I herewith
forward to you a Certificate of a Cure, effected
by your Compound Syrup of Liverwort. Tar,
and Canclialagun. The Cougli and expectant-
tion was of fourteen months standing, and had
baffled the skill of several of our eminent
physicians in New York,t-klbany, and Coopers-
town. I am the person in whom the cure was
effected, and as I had previously no faith in
patent medicines. 1 have since tried it on
others, and have become satisfied of its value.
Mine was as great‘. a cure as ever was per-
formed, as I had, during tny sickness, been giv-
en up twice by my physicians. I have now
commenced my business, after taking, I think,
about eight bottles-

Christmas, I was taken unwell, and soon coin-

in a Homorzopathic Physician, but: his medicine-
did-not seem to help me. 1 read your adver-

Before I had taken up the tllirtl bottle. my
bleeding had stopped, my cough was guno; and
felt; well as usual. My health is now good.

Mt‘. , who doesu’L live more than a
mile froin the post; oflice in this city, met
some “Northern iuen with Southern prin-
ciples” the other evening, and cxtetiding to
them the liospitnlities of the “ Crescent
City," visited so tnany of our principal sa-
loons and-“ Marb."e I-lalls," imbibing spirit-
ual coiisolation as they journeyed, that
when he left them at their hotel at the mid-
night hour, he felt, decidedly felt, that he
had “ a brick in his hat.” Now, he has a
‘wife, an amiable, nccomplislietl and beauti-
ful lady, who loves liiui devotetlly,an'd finds
but one fault with him. That is his too
frequent visits to the palaces where these
“ bricks” are obtained.
After leaving his friends, Mr. paus-
ed a inoznent, tool; his liearings, anti having
shaped a course on the principle that con-
tinual angles meet, made sail for home. In
due course of time he arrived there, and
was not much astonished, but rather fright’-
ened to find his worthy lady sittitig up for
him. She always does. She smiled when
he came in. That also she always does.’
“How are you, dear E 3” she said—~
“you staid out so late, that l feared you had
been taken sick ”
- ‘.‘ Hic———ain’t sick, wife; b—but don’t you
t—think l’m——I’m a little I-tiglit?”
“A very little, perhaps, my dear ——but
thal’s nothing—— you have so many friends:
as you say,you must join them _in a gliiss
once in ii while!” .
“ Wife, you’re too good-—tli—the truth is
l’ni d-drunk !”
“ Oh, no, indeed, my dcar—~l’tn sure that
another glass woulzln’t hurt you. Nov.-
suppose you take a glass of Scotcli ale with
me, just as a night-cap, dear .3”
“ You are too kind, my d—dear, by half——-
l know l’in drunk!”
“ Oh, no—only ajulep too much, love——
that’s all !” _
“Yes—juleps—-MeMasters makes such
stifls ’uns.”
“ ‘v.Vell—talce a glass of ale, at any rate-—
it cau’t hurt you, dear; I want one before I
retire."’
The lady haste-aed to open a bottle, and
as she placed two tumblers before her on
the side board, she put in one a very
powerful emetic Filling the glasses vvi.li
the foaming ale, she hiindetl one to -her
husband.
Suspicion came cloudily upon his mind.
She never before had been so kind when he
was drunk. He looked at theglass, ruined
it to his lips, then hesitated.
“ Dear, w-won’t you just taste mine, to
make it swcet—s'.veeter E” said he.
“Certainly, love!” replied the lady,
taking a ,mouthful vvliicli she was careful
not to swallow.
Suspicion vanished, and so did the ale,
emetic and nll,down the throat of the sails
tied husband. After spitting out the taste,
the lady finished her glass, but seemed in no
hurry to retire. She fixed a foot-tub of
water before an easy chair, as if she in‘.cnr.l~
ed to bathe her beautiful little feet. But
small as were those feet, there was not
water enough in the tub to cover them. The
husband began to feel sick, and he wanted
to retire.
“ Wait only a few minutes, dear,” said
his loving spouse, ‘‘I want to read the news
in this aftertioou’s Delta. I found it in
your pocket.” \
A few minutes more elapsed, and then-
and then, oh ye gods and Dan 0’ the lake,
what a time. The hus,band was placed in
the easy chair. He began to understand
why the tub was there; be soon learned
what ailed him, suflice it to say, that when
he arose from the chair the brick had left
his hat. It liasn’t been there since. He
says he’ll never drink another julep; he
can’t bear Scotch ale, but he is death on
leniouatlel He loves his wife better ‘man
ever.
