THE CITY.
Loral Pernonali.
Col. .J. M. MorpUip, of AustiD, is in the
city.
Mr. George Robinson, editor of the
Iluntuville Item, is in the city.
Col. J. W. Speight, ot Waco, is at the
Washington.
liev. R. T. Nabors, formerly of St.
•lamt-8 Church of this city, but now pas-
tor of Shearn Chapel, Houston, is mak-
ing a brief stay in the city.
Accldcnt to a Press.
Yesterday morning, about 11:30
o'clock, the stay bolts blew out of the
head of the boiler of the Shippers' Press,
causing steam to escape with a hissing
sound, and incapacitating the press for
the rest of the day. It was thought last
evening that the press will be ready for
work this morning.
Weather Hepori,
The maximum temperature yesterday
was 0D ; minimum, GO. The wind was
east at 6:24 A. M., and continued blow-
ing from that direction until 9 P. M.,
when it veered to the southeast. The
average rate of velocity of the wind was .5
miles per hour. The average barometric
reading was 29.900. Temperature of the
water in the bay at 3 P. m., 00.
K. O. m. To-Nightat 7 O'clock.
If anybody understands the advertise-
ment in another column he should obey
the order, provided he knows where to
go. This reporter has been requested to
state that it is the same place, and that
m«ans it has not been removed from
where it was, whereupon this reporter
begs to remark that he is just as wise as
he was before the above very indefinite in-
formation was imparted to him in a very
mysterious manner.
drier mention.
The cloudy state of the weather seems
to have cast a damper on those exuber-
ant individuals who made it so lively for
the police on Christmas.
The free rsading room of the Young
Men's Christian Association has been
vesy well patronized of late. It is open
every evening and free to all.
The ship Progress, Captain Stevens,
which sails on Friday morning for Liv-
erpool, has 4710 bales of cotton on board,
weighing 2,374,000 pounds, and 130o
cases of beef as a cargo.
Great complaint is made of the condi-
tion of the crossings in front of the al-
lays. In many places it is impossible to
cross without actually wading in the
mud.
The bridge of the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe Railroad is nearly completed.
The piles are all driven on the bridge
proper, and a force is now engaged lay-
ing the last stringers.

I'.rtlon of the Wreck.
The local Hoard of Steam Vessel In-
spectors have taken the testimony of
I apt. A. Bowers, of the schooner Verbe-
na, of Galveston, in regard to the late
discovery by the Captain of the main-
mast of the City of Waco. Capt. Bow-
ers' statement is in effect that he discov-
ered the mainmast of the steamship City
of Waco, floating about three 'miles
east of Velasco, and one mile from
shore. He examined the same on the
7th instant. Lower mast was about 50
feet long, topmast 36 feet long. The
lower mast appeared to have been broken
off about the main deck, and bad a spike
lu it near the burnt end. It was burnt
from the lower eBd to the cross-trees,
and the topmast had slipped down
through the cross-tress, and the wire
rigging was still attached to the mast.
From the above it would appear that
tho llames ran high on the rear portion
of the ship, where the mainmast is loca-
ted, probably about three-quarters back
from the stern. That the foremast was
burnt off below deck, and not scorched
even above the house through which it
passed,and that the mainmast was burnt
as far up as the cross-tree, are peculiar
developments in connection with the
great disaster, and would seem to indi-
cate that the lire came from the forward
hold, and, rising up, was swept aft bv
the gale.
Political rvoton. '
A typographical error in the report of
the First Ward meeting gives A. Munn
73 votes instead of 13, the number he r< ■
ceived, F. K. Lubbock 03 instead of 93.
and M. Quinn 22 instead of 32.
The question is bandied about: Who
wrote out all those tickets that were
Hying around so thick at the first ward
meeting Tuesday night?
The two ballots taken at the Second
Ward meeting Tuesday night for dele-
gates to the State and District Conven-
tions resulted as follows :

Republicans In Council.
Election of Delegates to the Houston
Convention.
Also Pelcsates to the Colored Ht' ii's
Convention.
A meeting of Republicans was held
last night at the Courthouse pursuant to
a call of Johnson Reed, Chairman of the
Republican County Executive Commit-
tee for the purpose of electing delegates
to the State Republican Convention at
Houston, January 12th.
The meeting was called to order by
Johnson Reed, who stated the object for
which it was called, and on motion he
was made chairman.
Messrs. J. Q. Boyle, W. U. Griffin and
Joe Cuney were put in nomination for
clerk, and on a rising vote Mr. Griffin
was declared elected. . *
Major l'lumly moved the appointment
by the chair of a committee of live who
should be charged with the duty of se-
lecting ten delegates—the number Gal-
veston county is entitled to—to the Hous-
ton convention, and, though calling forth
severe opposition, the motion was carried
and the committae appointed as follows :
Joe Cuney, W. McCuen, Nelson Mont-
gomery, Isaac Rector and Henry
Wilson. They retired to make
up the slate, and pending their return
with a report Maj. Plumly in answer to
calls addressed the meeting, urging har:
inony of action on the eve of approach-
ing elections. He thought he saw dis-
tress in the ranks of the Democracy, and
had reason to believe that in this Sena-
torial District, where there was a Demo-
cratic majority of only 100 votes, there
could be, by proper management, a
chance to carry a Republican ticket. He
said there were only live men iu the par-
ty opposed to them, three office-holders
and two who wanted office, and with this
small disturbing element in the ranks
he thought there would be little diffi-
culty in presenting a strong front, and of
getting the upper hand of the Democra-
cy. He thought it would further their
interests to indorse the report of the com-
mittee. He saw by the late Democratic
ward meetings a change of the element
in that party that had held the power,
which circumstance, he argued, pointed
to some future trouble in the Democratic
ranks.
Calls were made for Boyle and Neill,
and the former having declined, the lat-
ter spoke in strong terms denouncing the
new constitution, which he thought
could be defeated if the Republicans
united with the opposition already be-
traying itself throughout the State, as he
believed, in no uncertain voice. He said
banks, railroads, landholders, office-hold-
ers and Germans were opposed to the
constitution, which, instead of cartailing
the expenses of the S'lte, increased
them. He added that a provision in the
bill of rights gave the people the right
of secession, and this point he was ready
to argue with any Democrat.
At this juncture the committee en-
tered with their report, recommending
delegates and alternates, as follows ;
delegates. *
Johnson Reed, W. H. Griffin, N. W.
Cuney, J. G. Boyle, Jno. DeBruhl, P. H.
Whittlesey, B. R. Plumly, George T.
Nichols, Saml. Dodge, W. H. Sinclaii.
ALTERNATES.
Isaac Schoolfield, Frank Miller, Jamas
Jackson, Harry Allen, John Melford, W.
Clayton, Ed. Green, H. L. Williams, Hy.
Ballenger, John Potts.
John DeBruhl moved to substitute the
name of Randolph for Sinclair. Mr.
Sells thought that the meeting should
not be bound by the recommendations of
five men, and moved that the delegates
be selected by ballot. Mr. Bjyle concur-
red in the remarks of Mr Sells. Major
Plumly suggested that the names be
taken up separately and acted on.
A motion to lay the committee's re-
port on the table was seconded, but
passed over till the report was received,
when the confusion became so great that
the chair, on motion, appointed Colonel
Neill and H. L. Williams lergeants-at-
arms, and W. T. Clayton and P. II.
Whittlesy tellers.
The vote was then taken on the mo-
tion to table the report. Lost by 49 to
103.
Col. Neill, Joe Cuney and II Ballenger
were nominated in place of W. H. Sin-
clair, whose name was, on motioo,
stricken from the list of delegates, and
by a rising vote Col. Neill was declared
elected, the vote standing—Neill 74, Bal-
lenger 01, Cuney 20.
Mr. Sella insisted, before the an-
nouncement of the vote, on taking the
three names before the meeting, together
with the nine names propostdas dele-
gates by the committee, and selecting, in
open meeting, by popular choice, the
whole number of delegates, but Neill,
having been declared elected in place of
Sinclair, on motion the meeting indorsed
the nine other delegates and alternates
reported by the committee.
Major Plumly offered a resolution to
the effect that no certificate of election
as delegate shall be transferrable, and
that any delegate who could not attend
the Houston Convention, shall deliver
his certificate to the chairman of the del-
egation to be voted by the delegation.
Adopted.
John DeBruhl offered the following
resolution, which was adopted :
lie it Rcxolverl, That the delegates to the
State convention at Houston on the 12th day
of January, 1876, be authorized to act as the
delegates to the district convention if called
to assemble on the adjournment of 'the State
convention, to make nominations, if advis-
able, for one Senator and two Representa-
tives for Galveston county and one for the
district composed of tho counties of Oalves-
ton, Brazoria and Matarorda '•ountfes.
On motion adjourned.
Immediately upon tho adiournment of
the meeting, a colored convention waB
called to select delegates to the State Col-
ored Convention, called to meet at Hous-
tonon the 13th proxim 1.
N. W. Cuney was called to the chair,
and Geo. Lawrence made Secretary.
The chair stated the object of the meet-
ing by reading his call, which was, in
effect, that the State convention of col-
ored men had been called to elect four-
teen delegates to the national colored
convention which is to assemble at Nash-
ville on the frst Wednesday in April,
1870.
On motion, end after some discussion,
it was resolved that Johnson Reed, N.
W. Cuney, Henry Ballinger, H. P. Whit-
tlesey, Geo. Kiehols, Edward Green,
John De Bruhi, Frank Miller and Joseph
Cuney be appointed delegates to the Col-
ored Men's State Convention.
After adopting a motion to tender
Sheriff Atkins a vote of thanks for the
Courthouse, the convention adjourned.
AMUSEMENTS.
Oratorio of Esther.
The Oratorio of Either was given a
second time at Turner Hall last night, to
a fine audience. The performance was
admirable throughout, and embraced fif-
teen personations, a chorus of fifty voices,
charming melodies and beautiful ta-
bleaux. In addition to the characters
noted in yesterday's issue, the part of
Mordecai's sister was very creditable.
Tremont Opera House.
The Two Orphans was repeated last
night to a much larger and enthusiasts
audience. The admirable acting of the
company and general merit of the tntire
performance w.ie fullv appreciated by

which contains a deal of interest, and the
fortunes of the two orphan girls retain
the sympathy of the audience through-
out the evening's entertainment.

Exposure to drafts when heated, and
sudden changes in the temperature of
the atmosphere, are prolific sources of
severe colds, from which many cases of
inflammation of the lungs, pleurisy, asth-
ma and other pulmonary affections are
developed. Should you be unfortunate
enough to contract a cold resort at once
to Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, a remedy
that will not only promptly cure coughs
and colds, but will relieve and strengthen
the Palmonary and Bronchial Organs,
and remove all dangerous symptoms.
For Coughs, Colds, and Throat dis-

MEXICAN INCURSIONS
All Fxtended Account of Hie Re-
cent Interview Between Texaw
4 oii&rcmtiucm and tlie President.
Special CoiresDoadeiice of the News.l
Washington, Dec. 24,1875.
The Administration seems to be giving
the troubles on the Rio Grnde frontier
of Texas less attention than they de-
serve ; indeed, its treatment of the whole
subject is worthy of the strongest con-
demnation. Should the Canadians in-
vade us from the North, crossing the St.
Lawrence river for the purpose of plun-
dering our citizens, or for any other
purpose, the country would be up in
arms at once to repel the .invaders, and
the erovernment would not wait for a
second demonstration of the kind bsfore
it placed the whole army on the Cana-
dian border and prepared to fight it out
on that line if it took all summer or
winter.
The diplomatic correspondence, in such
an event, would be of an equally vigor-
ous character. England would not be
allowed to plead her inability to control
the Canadians, the poverty of her public
treasury, or the effect of an active, de-
termined policy upon the permanence
and stability of the home government.
Sir Edward Thornton would be required
to present at onco on the part of his gov-
ernment the strongest assurances that the
outrage would not ba repeated, or he
would be given his passport and request-
ed to return home.
But it makes a vast difference whose
ox is gored. Texas is so far away, and
ker people have so f iw facilities for
reaching the ear of tlie government, or
of securing a fair hearing when that ear
is reached, that a report from that dis-
tant quarter fails to arouse the adminis-
tration. If any attention is paid to it at
all the subject is soon forgotten. You
may easily imagine an official of this
administration speaking in this way:
" Oh well, we know that they are having
trouble down there, but there proba-
bly about as much blame on the one side
as on the other. There is little room for
a choice between them—tlie Texans on
the one side and the Mexicans on the
other—they will steal from each other
whenever they have a chance. The
Mexicans are pretty bad we know, out-
laws who can not be controlled by the
national government, but the Texans are
not much better; they are all a set of
rebels who care nothing for law. We
are on friendly terms with Mexico, and
it is not the policy of this government to
embarrass her. We have protested, as
the files of our diplomatic correspond-
ence abundantly show, but it is not our
fault that Mexico is unable to keep her
subjects straight." If members of this
administration do not talk in this strain
they act it, which amounts to the same
thing.
These remarks are suggested by the
interview with the President on this sub-
ject which several members of the Texas
delegation had, to-dav, a brief report of
which I have telegraphed you this even-
ing. Ever since Congress met, and for
some time before, reports have been com-
ing to Washington of increased activity
of the marauders, and Senators Maxey
and Hamilton, and Reprentatives Han-
cock, Reagan and Schleicher called on
Gen. Grant for the purpose of laying the
whole subject before him. They ex-
plained to him what they believed to be
the cause of the troubles, who the ma-
rauders were, and asked that some effect-
ive measures be adopted to end them.
The President said that he did not see
how he could send morj troops to ' the
Rio Grande frontier ; the army was too
small to occupy all of the territory that
needed protection, and, besides, he had
heard that the Democratic House pro-
posed to make a stj'l further reduction of
it to 15,000 men. If that was done
many of the most exposed points would
have to be abandoned. The discovery
of gold in some of the Western Terri
tories, and in a section of country to
which the Indians still held the title of
occupancy, had caused trouble to be
threatened there, and had made it desira-
ble to strengthen the military forces
there, but if the proposed reduction was
made, not only would he be unable to do
that, but the troops already there would
have to be withdrawn.
The gentlemen replied that it was pos
sible that the force already stationed on
the Rio Grande was sufficiently large
were it of an effective character. The
present force there is about three thou-
sand men, half cavalry and half in fan
try. The best infantry is of compara-
tively little value for this service, but in
the present case the greater portion
of the troops are negroes, who
are either in sympathy with the
Mexicans or can not be depended upon
to make a vigorous campaign against
them. Some of these troops have been
put to very good use during the past year
in constructing the military telegraph
line connecting the frontier posts in
Texas, and possibly might be utilized
elsewhere in the service, but where they
were they could not bo depended upon.
Their own officers have no confidence in
them, and dare not trust themselves with
them on important scouting expeditions
It was suggested that these troops be
mustered out of the service and their
places De filled with more effective men,
or that they be removed and other troops
better tuited for the duties of the Mexi-
can frontier be sent to relieve them.
The President had very little to say
to this proposition, but suggested
that Congress might authorize him to
mount, temporarily, the infantry already
there, and remarked that they would
then be much more valuable than raw
troops iust enlisted. This was admitted
by the gentlemen of the delegation, but
they called the President's attention to
the fact that one of the principal causes
of the failure to stsp the raids of the
Mexicans, which they had just pointed
out, would still be unremoved—one regi
ment of the iufantiy was composed of
negroes.
The delegation ako called the attention
of the President to the contract recently
p;ade to deliver a large number of cat
tie at Monterey for the use of the Mex!-
can government, and asked him to take
measures to ascertain through the repr>
sentatives of the United States in Mexico
what marks and brands the cattle so de
llvered bore ; they believed that if this
was done it would be discovered that a
large portion of them had been stolen
from citizens of Texas. The President
did not say whether he T7or.ld do this or
not, but remarked that the federal gov-
ernment of Mexico had very little con
trol over the border^ t'tate"; and it was
therefore very difficult tc stop these de
predations. He took notes of the conver-
sation, in which he did but a small part
of the talking, and raid that he would
give the subject proper consideration,
don't tniuk, however, that the delegation

Tlie State Convention.
Eds. Nt <cs—Serious opposition was
manifested to Galveston as the place for
holding the State Convention during the
deliberations of the committee, and for
that reason our exertions should be
greater in order to vindicate the wisdom
of the selection. Let every citizen un-
derstand that politics is eliminated from
the matter; that in the reception of our
guests we have nothing to do with the
constitution or the aspirants for office,
or the policy of the party or the in-
trigues of candidates, or of any other
question save that of a hospitable recep-
tion, greeting and generous treatment of
the large and influential body of men
that are to assemble in our city. So far
as is known,there ia not a citizen of Gal-
veston whoBe friendB expect or desire
f)T him any preferment or position at
the hands of the convention, save one,
and he is already upon the supreme
bench of the State. So let every citiz a
give as he feels able, and give with the
assurance that it is not asked in behalf
of any candidate or individual, but. f, r
Galveston, and that it is a contribution
to the common treasury for tho common
good. The assembling of the convention
will be a memorable event in our his-
tory, and, if taken at the ffood, will lead
us on to most desirable results.
OCCASION FOK WAR.
Further Raid* f?om Itli-xlto Should
be »o Considered.
[Washington Chronicle, Dec.
After due consideration of the subject,
we have no hesitation in suggesting that
the Mexican government should be offi-
cially notified that further aggressions
of this nature would be considered as a
casts belli, and so accepted and seed
upon. If the nuisance is not then abated
—promptly and effectually—let the de-
claration of war be followed by the act
itself ; and that without unnecessary
loss of time. The result will be the
conquest of Mexico, and not only our
own people, but all civiliz d powers will
justify the process. We don't w»nt
Mexico, but we can not submit longer to
Mexican raids upon innocent and unpro
tected citizens. K a government abroad
should unjustly harm an American citizen
the power of the government would be
exercised in demanding and securing
prompt redress ; but here, citizens are
butchered and plundered on their own
soil, almost daily, and no redress is de-
manded. No wonder that an English
paper remarks, with surprise, that " the
moderation of the American government
in dealing with the matter is reassuring
to those who fancy themselves in danger
from its devouring ambition ;" and adds :
" Instead of treating the raids as casus
belli, as it would be perfectly justified in
doing, and as the British government in
India, finding itself raided upon by an
anarehic neighbor, would anquestionabiy
do, and conquering Mexico, which would
be the certain result of hostilities, the
President merely proposes to put a ship
of war on the Rio Grande."
But there is no water to float " a ship
of war" on this Grsnd river, and the con-
stant changing of the channel, by shift-
ing sand-bankf, renders it impossible for
even a small vessel to traverse the river
without grounding half a dczen times in
twenty-four hours. There is but one
remedy, and tPat is to inform the Mexi-
can government that forbearance has its
limits, and that this thing mu3t be
brought to an immediate close, or steps
will be taken to secure peace by declar-
ing war. There is no other course left
for the American government to pursue,
and the quicker these raids are thus
stopped the better will it be for all par-
ties concerned. The child's-play policy
is only an aggravation of tlie matter.
ORANGE COUNTY.
Demosratlc Bleating—Delegates A p-
pointed and Resolutions Adopted,
[Reported for the Galveston Rews ]
A meeting of the Democracy of Orange
county was held at the courthouse on
the 18th of December, J. T. Stark, E q.,
chairman, and T. A. Falvy secretary.
H. T. Davis, S. Clienault and John
Lyons, the committee appointed to draft
resolutions, submitted the following,
which were adopted :
Resolved, That we, citizens of Orange
county, in convention assembled, hereby
reiterate our abiding faith in the ulti-
mate success of Democratic principles,
not only in this State but throughout the
broad expanse of the American Union,
and in contributing our mite to tho es-
tablishment and maintenance of those
sacred landmarks, so loag battled for by
the lovers of good government, we ear-
nestly call on every good man to aid us
in this great and good work.
Resolved, That we indorse the present
State administration, and in- Richard
Coke we recognize the gentlemnn, schol-
ar, statesman, and an honest man, and
that he is our choice for Governor at the
coming election.
Resolved, That we believe the best
immigration bureau that can be inaugu-
rated at this time is au economical ad-
ministration, large Democratic majorities
in every county and district, a rigid eD
forcement of the laws to suppress crime,
cheap lands,good schools, and a welcoue
hand extended by every good citizen in
the State.
Resolved, That our delegates to the
State and District Conventions are hete-
by instructed to scrutinize closely every
candidate for public favor, and to vote
for tone but true and tried Democrats of
undoubted honesty, and who favor
rigid economy in every department of
the State and national governments.
Resolved, That we urge the adoption
of the new organic law at the ccming
election.
The following-named gentlemen are
the delegates:
For the State Convention—S. Chanault,
R. B. Russell, T. A. Falvy, J. S. Ander-
son and J. T. Stark.
For the District Convention, called to
meet at Woodville, Tyler county—H. T.
Davis, J. T. Stark, J. A. lJinkston, A. Ly-
ons and P. Finch.

Special Correspondence of tho News.]
Tyler, Texas, Dec. 27,1875
This, though one of the older Texas
towns, has not improved so much since
the arrival of the iron horse as u noy
others, but it is one of the most orderly,
quiet and,pleasant places in Texas, and
is well sustained by the surrounding
country. During the past week h
merchants have been constantly engag-
ed, many of them not even having time
to read their newspapers. One of
Tyler's strong ^recommendations is
" The Ferguson House," about th
best apportioned hotel in Texas,
and one of the reasons why the
Supreme Court should not be moved to
Dallas, as they fear will be attempted
when the Fifteenth l egislature assem-
bles. The fear is also expressed thut
Tyler's rapidly growing neighbor h
also a hankering after the United States
Court, but there is less concern regarding
this than the former, as it is believer
that an effort to got that rhau;i-d would
result iu the formation of alio 1.- ■ r dis
trict, and the appoint'-i lit, of Edmund .1,
Davis to the judgeship, which al- know
would be deprecated more than even the
failure to secure the removal of the coort
to Dallas, or aoywhe-te else.

ASO
R PACIFIC RAILROAD.
The Sail Francisco Morning Call, of
December 19, has the following:
Arizona is now being colonized from
Massachusetts. Portions of a colony,
just organized at Boston, are now on
their way to their destination on the
Little Colorado, in the northwestern
portion of that Territory. They come
all the way from Boston by rail to
Southern Colorado, by way, after
reaching the Missouri River, of tho
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road.
By advices from Topeka, Kan., to the
8th instant, the track of this road was
then laid to King's Ferry, twenty miles
west of Las Animas, its present termi-
nus, since which time regular trains
have commenced running to King's
Ferry. It had then but G3 miles to
reach Puebla, toward which point
track laying proceeds one mile each
day. lvich coal deposits having been
found at Trinidad, one hundred
miles further, both this railroad and
the narrow gauge one from Denver to
Puebla are pushing their tracks rapid-
ly to Trinidad, at which point the
Eastern colonists will leave the rail-
road and take the stage for some four
or five hundred miles to their new
Yankee settlement. Thus it will be
seen that from the rapidity with
which new railroads are pushing from
the Northeast toward the Gulf of Cal-
ifornia and the Pacific, Eastern emi-
grants to the shores of the Colorado
Chiquito, and other parts of Arizona,
will in a very few years have the rail-
road to land them at their very doors.
By the completion of this Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad to its
final terminus on our coast, the capital-
ists controlling it will have iorstalled
Tom Scott and others of the Texas Pa-
cific road. No better climate can be
found in the world than that of the
territory this road penetrates.

DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Railroads—'Shipping.
QUICK TIME!
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increase on pres-
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patiant is rarely able
tc iie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder-
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top of the shoulder, and is some -
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax ; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
iu the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac-
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dr.y cough is sometimes an at-
tendant. The patient complains of
weariness «nd debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
nnd he complains of a prickly sensa-
tion of the skin ; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis-
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but-cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
liver to have been extensively de-
ranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. M'Lane's Liver Pills', in
cases of Acue and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive
of the moan happy results. No better
cathartic can lie used, preparatory to
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.

Dear Sir— I feel it a duty to suffering hu
mamanity. no less than to your unparalleled
medicine, to thank you for having rescued me
from a fate infinitely worse than death.
For ten years I have been afflicted with
rheumatism to such au extent as to render
life intolerable, and there has been no period
of time in the last two years that I would noi
have hailed death as the kindest boon that
heaven could bestow. I had been treated by
such eminent doctors a-? Ayres, Byrne, the
late Geo. Cochman, Wilde, Palmedo, and
others, of Brooklyn, New York; Professors
Stone and Beamis, of New Orleans, and some
in this* city, but they all failed until, through

and took your wonderful medicines, which,
in the short space of ten davs, has afl'ected 8
perfect and radical cure. ¥our much obliged
