Having ootained the agency of this cele-
brated Soap for Brenham and vicinity, 11 wuh mrmocm imjuuis, now, uy
append the opinion of some of our best; and beervalso domestic and importeil cigars
people as to its merits. ' 1 " -1---
We hereby certify that we have used
Dobbins' Electric Soap, made by I. L.
Cragin & Co., Philadelphia, Pa., and state
that its use has given general satisfaction.
That it is a pure soap, and although a little
higher priced than other common rosin
soaps, it is worth more than the difference
in price. We therefore recommend it to all
who dssire a strictly tirst-class soap.

All the necessaries of a great popular
remedy are combined in Clifford's Febri-
fuge. As a tonic, in debilitated states of
system, this remedy we-qpilnently
at the head. Vet it is metre tnan is tisually
understood by that tenn, for no other prep-
aration known exercises an eradicating
power over intermittent diseases, at au
comparable with it. As it is probable that,
in the intervals of the paroxysms of these
diseases a train of Morbid actions is going
out of our sight, so it is equally probable
that this remedy produces in (he same sys-
tem an action equail mysterious, which su-
persedes that of the malady and thus ac-
complishes the restoration of the patient.
