I, Thomas A. Ringo. M Gravoe Co., Ky., for the benefit
of mankind generally, do hereby certify, that on or about
the 16th day of October. 1847, I was attacked with a very
eevere pain in th*, lower parr of the abdomen, which landed
but a few minutes, and uiovel into the ioft hip, and con-
tuiaed excfcv imgly p.unrul i’<x J?uat five day?, dunrfg
which time 1 had a very light fever. At the end of that
time the fever ceased, and th* pain abated for a day or two,
after which it again returned, and was much worse than
before. During all tfeie time I waa under medical treat-
ment. From a short time after I was taken, I was unable
to walk or sit up ; the hip in which the pain waa so bad
commenced rifing, udtil some time in JantMry, when it
burst, and a number of pieces of bone came out—« many
aa twenty, at least. Some of the pieces were three-fourtlu
of an inch long. Some time after thia, a hard knot ap-
peared on my right hip, also one on my right wrist, and
one on my leg. below my knee. I continued to get weak
and worse, and pain made its appearance in my right
shoulder, and would move in my breast and stomach. At
this time all persons gave me up to die. A physician then
told me that, as a last remedy, I had better use MR.
BOLL'S FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. After
the use of the second bottle, the knot on my wrist com-
menced getting soft. 1 o|ened it, and a day or two after,
a piece of bone came out. My wrist soon got well, and 1
continoed to gain strength. After I used the third bottle,
I could get no more for some four weeks, after which time
I succeeded in getting three more bottiee. After using the
three last bottles, the knot, on my hip became soft; it was
opened, and some corruption ran out, together with a
small piece of bone, and the sore soon got well, and the
knot entirely diappeared. The sore on my leg also opened,
and a piece of bon* came cat. I continued the use of the
Sarsaparilla until I need twelve bottles, and am now
entirely weH, and able to do daily laber. It mav Mem
strange to some, bat I will here state that, daring the
summer of 1849,1 coughed up three pieces of bone, which
can now be seen at the reridence of my uncle. Thos. Neal,

Can the reader believe, after reading tbs desoriptton of
the above numerous cures, that there is still a few human
beings, sulfering with disetM, that refuse to give BulFs
Sarsaparilla a trial. It is indeed hard to b*Liwre, but nev-
ertheless. it is too true. What kind of testimony would ft
take to convince the few remaining disbelievers, that Bull's
medicine will do more even than it protniaes ? The doctor
eoold produce another and another cure performed by hto
medicine; but if the cases published above will not con-
vice the sceptical, it is uaeleas to produce any mors, and,
indeed, it would cost a fortune to publish the many eert>-

DF. JOHN BULL’S SARSAPARILLA!!
Will Wonders never Cease?
Y the following euros, performed alone by the use of
BULL'S SARSAPAIULLA, are not wonders, then we
acknowledge that we do not know the meaning of the
word. Read, and be ccnvinced that facts are stranger than
fiction:—
Line P. O., FuPon Co.. Ky.. Oct. 1, 1851.
' Dr. John Bull: Deer Sir—The two dozen of your Sarsa-
parilla, ordered in September, came to hand. and. in ac-
knowledging the receipt of the same, I feel I would be
doing you injustice to withhold the following, among the
many of the ins»ances that have come under my observa-
tion, during th* last two years, of (he great curative prop-
erties of your Sar-uperil la t—
Mrs Jeannette Martin, a highly respectable lady of my
neighborhood, aged sixty-five years, had been long afflicted
with a cancerous ulcer, which finally reduced her to so
helpless a condition that she could not leave her bed. She
tried the best medical advice In our county, without relief,
and had given up all hopes of a cure. At this stagy of her
case, I persuaded her son to take a bottle of your Sarsapa-
rilla. lie did so. and in a short time returned, and pur-
chased another bottle, rating the first had had a decidedly
good effect. She continued to use it until, after the use of
five or six bottles. I had the pleasure of seeing the old lady
herself at church. She assured me that sue had almost
entirely recovered her health, and from her I received the
account of her disease, and iu about the same words I give
It to you. This is but one of a number of cures under my
observation—of very remarkable ones—performed by the
Me of your Sarsaparilla, in my neighborhood. The de-
mand for it has e'eadily increased since its introduction
here. Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
WM. R. DICKINSON, P. M.
Boyls CotnrrT, Ky., Oct. 6,1861.
Dr. Jotrn Bull: Dear Sir—I have seen the most marvel-
lens care of one of my patients, by your valuable medh-iue
—an old lady, who had laeen afflicted from her childhood
with scrofula, and various diseases of the brain. She was
sixty years old. It had run into something like leprosy,
and she was the most frightful creature my eyes ever
beheld. I called in Dr. McFadden, a rerv fine physician,
to consult with me In relation to her. we eame to the
conclusion that it was out of oar power to relieve her; but,
on going to my office, I accidentally picked up one of your
Journals, when, on seeing the wonderful cures your Sarsa-
parilla had effected, I resolved to try the experiment in this
case. I took her two bottles of it, after taking which I
perceived a great change. I took her some more. She is
now taking the sixth bc ttle, and I consider her entirely .
cured I take great pl aosure In recommending your Sar-
saparilla to the afflicted public.

A Quber Mistake.—The new “pat-
ent metaiic burial cases,” as all who have
seen them know, are a curiously shaped
affair,—as much unlike an ordinary coffin
as anything else.
Not long since a buggy was driven up
to an establishment in this city, where
these newly invented articles are sold,
(which by the way are coming into pretty
genera! use,) out of which stepped a
young country gentleman, who, “by tbe
cut of his jib,” bad the appearance of
a physician; he walked into the store,
which was filled &ith the new invention
of all sizes, and taking out his pocket
handkerchief he measured one about three
feet long, and after paying for it, directed
the toller to put it in the wagon. The
young doctor then started to go, when
the setter, who had an eye to further prof-
its, having an undertaking establishment
also, observed to tbe purchaser:
Sir, we are well prepared with hearses,
carriages, and everything necessary in the
managements of funerals, and if you have
made no other arrangement, we will, if
you will employ us, give you entire satis-
faction.
“Employ you for what?’ asked tbe M.
“Why, sir,’ was the reply, ‘to conduct
tbe funeral.”
“Funeral ? sir—I have no funeral.”
“What in the name of thunder then,”
continued tbe seller, “what did you buy
this co jin for ?”
“Coffin ! My stars! Is that a cof-
fin ? why, I thought it was a fiddle case."
We forthwith wended ourselves down
town, thinking of anything but a grave
r Nature F^bclaims a Deity.—There is
God ! The herbs of the valley, ihe ce-
dars of the mountains, bless him; the
birds sing to Him in lhe foliage; the thun-
der proc taints Him in the heavens. The
ocean declare? His immensity; man alone
no God ! Unite in
thought at the instant the most beautiful
objects in nature. Suppose you see at
once, all hours of the day, all the seasons
of »he year; a morning of spring, and a
morning of autumn; a night bespangled
with stars, and a night darkeneddfy cloud.*-
—meadows enameled with flowers—for-
ests hoary w-kh snow—fields gilded bv’|
the tint* of autumn—then, alone, you will
have a just conception of the universe!
While you a|e gazing on that sun, which
plunging intd the vault of the West, an-
other observer admires him emergingfrom
the gilded gfftes of the East. By what
inconceivable power does the aged star,
which is sinking fatigued and burning in
the shades of$he evening, re-appear at the
same instantIfresh and humid with the
rosy de^r of tie morning ? At every hour
of the day$ tbe glorious orb is at once ri-
sing^resplendent as noonday, and seui; g
• in the west; br rather, our sense deceive-
! us, and there ia, properly speaking, no
' East or West, or North or South, in tbe
world. P ------
How they Treated Him.—In this
city is an honest mulatto man we wot of
named Jack. He lived very quietly and
as happily as falls to lhe lot of most mor-
tals, for about two score years, in the state
of Onesimus. Jack is a
moderate abilities among his colored
brethren.
In tile last year or two he was
seized with a spirit of the age, and bought
himself at a nominal price.
Not experinecing a rise at home corres-
ponding to his new relations, Jack conclu-
ded to take a trip to the “Nortird.”
to tbe North Jie went.. He had
- seen any of hh
pathy for tbe black man and the free man
and he looked^for a reception very cordial,
almost amounting to an ovation.
Jack has returned quite chop-fallen.
His account of his trip to “Norurd” is
doleful, l Those from whom he expected
greetings and- hospitalities, and a great
shaking of hatids, “didn't come a-nigh.”
He couldn’t fipd tbe folks that had d°ne
all that beautifbi talking. He did edge
his way-into one or two pulpits. “But
then” says he„‘“ihey wouldn’t allow me
to take tip a Collection.” As for caste

All the Orient is purpled
With an amethystine hue,
And the western heaven slumbers
In his hyacintbine hue.
From the sombre mists, dark rolling
On the bosom of the hill,
Sounds the melancholy night watch
Of the lonely whip-poor-will.
Heavily the dry canes rustle
With the yellow tinted Vines;
And the wild wind sprite isjrighing
Through the ever-tossing pines.
Redly cast along the waters^
And the solemn gloom of night,
Streams the ruddy glare of torches,
And rhe beacon’s blazing light.
Underneath the lofty arches
Of the forests rocking dome,
Rise a thousand dusky wigwams,
Round the chieftain’s tented home.
Alabama! Ala-
we rest 1 here we rest!
ting Chatahooche
___rttrthy cavalcade,
I a the sbmbre autumn twilight,
Toiling through the everglade.
From the silvery Savannah, |
And the rolling Ockmulgee,
To a wilderness primeval
Fled the footsteps of the free.
Through the pathless thicket wending.
By the giant rocks up-piled,
Oveh dark ravines impending, ‘
Rugged ramparts of the wild;
Came the chieftain and his people,
Belted warrior and his bride;
With her dark cheek flush’d with fever/
And her red lip curled with pride.
Not a note of martial music, *
Blended conch and aubal,
Mingled with her booming thunders
Of the rushing waterfall. .
Not upon a bloody war
Panoplied in paint and plume,
Spread they, like a stream of meteors,
Flashing through the forest gloom.
But a spell of haggard silence * -
Lay upon each visage stern.
As if each his dead heart carried
In a monumental urn.
Look at this.
