This is to certify that my wife was afflicted
with the Dyspepsia for twelve years, and;tried
both advertismg medicines and Thoinpsodiau
b,ut without affect. I was myself attacked with
blindness, and luy head otherwise affacted frmn
hard drinking, so*that I was apprehensive of
fits : and seeing Hance’s Sarsaparilla Pills ad
vertised I went and got a box of them, which to
irty astonishment effected a cure of me and my

ded his study on a broken arch Qf the Lon

pay this country a visit, he would find pre
cisely the same "state of affairs existing. I

When we were in tho City of Mpgico we
rode but to view the battle-fields of Cha
pultepec and Molino del Rey,- and Would
von believe it, on the field of Motino del
Key they have erected a monument in honor
of the Mexicans killed in that battle—
-34 put o! the whole Mexican nation—who
stood long enough to be Shot before they
.purreydeifed their city. -1 f
Now, in rpgard to the prospecteafforded
to emigrants, I think they are very small
indeed. The laud is owned in very large
tracts, and the owners are decidedly Oppo
sed to dividing their land, or inffacUselling
on, any terms; it is true that large tracts
of land are Sometimes offered at a low price,
'and I know at least one instance where a
party purchased and thought they’ had
iqade a magnificent speculation—w4rfe go
ing to raise coffee, &o. Since .I..have
commenced writing this letter one of the
party returned, and tells tne that the pur
chase turned out to be a magnificent riioun
tain, a,n abundance of liiriestbne,: aa T the
.jiiendor stp.tpd, but unfortunately there was
riot anything, else ; not wood enough to
■ make a fish pole, or sufficient water for
drinking purposes; of coarse the party
was disgusted and thinks that Mexican
need watching. . Coffee is
really the only true profitable crop of the
Country, but as my letter is quite too <long
I will not go into details.
Now in regard to men who depend upon
labor, I think this is the .worst country,
probably, in the world; there is an abun
dance of labor for every purpose. At
least nine-tenths of the population own
neither house or land, but depend upon
hire lor. a living. The common., wages are
25 cents per day, and the laborer., finds
Hi lb Sell—that is on farms. Near the City
of 1 Mexico they are now paying bn thri rail
road fiOiConts per day, and in this region,
wliefp at least 100 per cent, of them are
either foreigners or natives of
laiidsl'and are sure to die, they receive
from $1 to $1.25 per day: 1 Ndw thesb are
truly the inducements that are offered to
lahorors. There are quite a number of men
from the State here, and the great majori
ty of them are the most disconsolate, home
sick set of men you ever saw. Those'teho
have money generally return in thoPext

To sum up, this-county may be said to
have' neither wood, water, nor a stablo
.form of government, and rain only'falls
two or three months in the year. If*Max
