Hampton's Vegetable Tincture!
THE GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE?READ! READ!
Joy to the World?Hope for the Afflicted?More Tes
timony from Home !
Baltimore, Sept. 11,1851.
Messrs. Mortimrr rf Mowbray: I feel it a duty to make
known the benefits I have derived from Dr. Hampton's
Tincture. For a length of time I have been suttfcct to great
prostration of muscular power, and great debility of the ner
vous system, accompanied with palpitation aud fluttering ot
the heart. I had such sudden attacks, that on one occasion
I could scarcely get home. I making mentlou of my case
to a friend, he referred me to Joseph K. Stapletoa, esq., an
old and highly respectable citizen of Baltimore, who had
used the Tincture under similar circumstances. I called on
Mr. Stapletou, and, after an interview of some minutes, I
was fully satisfied of the medical virtues of the Tincture from
tho evidence before me, of his own person, who, for some
time previous, indicated a failing stote of health, but now a
hearty, hale appearuncc, with the activity of youth. I im
mediately commenced using the Tincture, aud, before I took
the contents of one bottle, my strength was renewed, and
lean walk as brisk, find am as active as I was twenty years
ago. This Tincture is the grand restorative of the digestive
organs, which when destroyod, the whole system is in a
state of suffering.
I do assert that It is no humbug, but Is, in reality, what
It is represented to be by Dr. Hampton. Iho inventor.

STILL ANOTHER CURE "of RHEUMATISM OF TWO
YEARS' STANDING!
The World cannot product such a mass of Honte Testimony
in Javor of any other Malicine !
Baltimore, Jan. 23,1852.
Messrs. Mortimer & Mowbray?Gents: I feel it a duty I
owe to myself and the community, to speak in commenda
tion of your celebrated Hampton's Vegetable Tincture. I
have been afflicted for the last two years with the chronic
inflammatory rheumatism in Us severest form; unable to
walk without support. Having heard of your valuable med
icine, I deemed it expedient to give it a trial, and, after using
several bottle*. I was agreeably surprised to flnd myself en
tirely relieved from that most hoirible dicow which tb<>
human frame is subject to.
I do take great pleasure in recommending Hampton's
Vegetable Tincturo to all afflicted as I was, as a certain and
permanent remedy.
I feel I cannot do that justice to your celebrated medicine
it merits, but, in conclusion, I would say to all who are af
flicted to give it a fair trial.

ASTOUNDING EFFECTS!!?THE WHOLE AFFLICTED
WORLD READ!!!?A LADY RESTORED AFTER TWO
YEAR8' SICKNESS!!!!
Norfolk, Dec. 6, 1851.
Messrs. Mortimer A Mowbray : Hampton's Vegetable Tinc
ture is certainly workiug miraculous results here. In the
way of cures, but there seems to be a diffidence on the part
of those cured to give a certificate, which, hi justice to the
afflicted, should not exist. I could mention a dozen oases of
importance in which It has been successful in curing the
worst kind of diseases; but It appears to cure them so oasilv,
and its effects are so magical, they do not appear to be able
to realize It, though they are i>erfeetly satisfied they are
curod.
I will mention two caucs which have lately comc under my
notice. A lady who had been confined to her bed for be
tween one and two years, and on whom the doctors had been
attending during that time without any success, was in
duced to try tho Tincture, and after taking one bottle she
was enabled to sit up In her bed ; and after taking the second
bottle she was enabled to be up, stirring about the house?a
thing she had not done for two years, as I was informed by
her husband, who called on me, in perfect ecstacy, aud said
he had at last found the much-ncoded panacea. I think he
will furnish you with a certificate of the strongest character.
Another gentleman informod mo that he had a very valu
able negro woman so far gone by disease that he would have
taken twenty-five dollars for her, but the first bottle was so
effective that he felt confident of a perfect cure.
Yours, rospoctfully, John R. IIatuawat.
REV. VERNON ESKRIDGE, U. S. N.
Portsmouth, Va., Aug. 18,1681.
Mr. J. E. Bousli?Dear sir: While I am, in general, op
posed to patent medicines, candor oompels me to state that I
have great confidence in tho virtues of Hampton's Vegetable
I'incture. For several months past I have used it in my
family : at>d In dys|>epsia, loss of appotito, dizziness, and gen
eral debility, with entire success. So far as my experience
extends, therefore, 1 take pleasure in recommending It to the
afflicted as a safe and efficient remedy.

CIRCULAR.
WASUINUTON, August 1,1861.
SIR: After consulting many persons interested in the
principal Railroads In the United States, the under
signed propone to establish agencies in this city and in
New York, for the purpose of collecting full and authen
tic Railroad statistics and such other information as will
enable them to serve persons desiring to invest in Rail
road securities, or to procure information of any matters
connected with the contraction and administration of
Railroads. They also propose, especially, to urge upon
Congress a modification of the Uwb relating to contracts
for carrying the mail, so us to authorize the Post Office
Department to contract for the perpetual use of Railroads,
and, instead of paying, as now, quarterly ou contracts for
four years, to advance in live percent, bonds of the United
State?, chargeable upon the revenues of the Post Office
Department, an amount, the interest upou which at 0 per
cent, would equal the payments now made.
The Government now pays $300 per mile for carrying
the mail on first-class Railroads. This is 6 per cent, on
$5,000. The uuderslgned would urge that, Instead of pay
ing $300 a mile, per annum, the Department should de
liver, on u contract In perpetuity, live $1,000 bonds,
bearing nn interest of live per centum. At this rate the
charge upon the Department would be reduced from $300
to $'250 a mile, per aunum, and the $50 a mile saved
would creato a sinking fund, which will, iu a few years,
pay off the bonds, and give the use of such rouds forever
thereafter free of all charge; thereby effecting a vast
saving on the present annual expenditures of the I'ost
Office Department, and a consequent reduction of the
rates of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Railroad com
panies than to the Government. For instance, such a
contract would give to thu Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad
Company more thun $2,000,000, which would enable that
company to complete its road at an uarly day, aud greatly
increase Its business aud profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public mind
with a proper sense of the benefits to result from this
measure will require concert of action and continued
active effort, through the press and otherwise. The un
dersigned teuder their services to your company, expect
ing a reasonable compensation partly contingent upon
the success of the measure; and respectfully suggest the
propriety of your wending one or more delegates to thiH
city, on the first Wednesday In December next, to confer
with delegates from other Railroad companies, as to the
fetalis of the proposed arrangement and thm beet mode ot
bringing the subject before Congress.
Should it be your pleasure to accept of our services in
this matter, we will promptly attend to all other business,
which you, or your Company, may havo with the "Post
Office Department, or other branch of the Government.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest convenience,
we arc, respcctfullv, your obedient servants,

Irish Eillti-The President.
The New York "Herald ' contains the follow*
ing note from the Massachusetts delegate of the
committee which recently visited Washington :
Sir: You will oblige the friends of the exiles
who went to Washington, if you state in the
" Herald" that we did not understand the Presi
dent to refuse our request, but only to distin
guish as to the mode in which he could comply
with it.
His last words at our interview were, that he
would "consult those be usually advised with on
important occasions" in this case, and that he
" would do all he could do " for the patriots in
Australia.
1 may add, that it is the earnest desire of the
friends of the exiles in Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and Washington, that their cases should be left
! in the hands of the government, believing, as
1 they do, that both the President and the distin
guished Secretary of State (to whose courtesy
we are also much indebted) will leave no proper
means unemployed to gratify the wishes of so
many American citizens as arc now interested in
this matter.
I have the honor to be, sir, j-our obedient ser
vant.
THOMAS DARCY McGEE,
Delegate from Massachusetts.

burg, Maryland, whence he removed to Brooklyn
about a year ago. He was also for many years
a resilient of this city.
The Emperor of Austria has ordered the erec
tion at Vienna of a monument to the poet
Metastasis. It is to be in marble; Luciardini,
an Italian sculptor, will execute it.
It is gratifying to know that this Emperor has
both poetic taste and gratitude, a monument of
nhirh lie is about to erect. As for the poet, the
art of printing will secure him to an immortality
that marble cannot boast. Printed records will
tell of the great men of the present day, after
the proudest specimen of masonry shall have
fallen to its base.
gt^'The Rev. Mr. Benton, of Sacramento, is
said to have delivered a sermon in poetry on New
Year's day, and the "Daily Union" of that place
assures us it was not prosy. This is a favorable
judgment to be passed on home-made poetry
in our age and clime!
John W. Millson recently died in St.Louis,
