was rendered most acceptably, we have

Little Nell will be repeated to-night,
and wo hope thoso who have not yet
witnessed the play will attend. We are
gratified to learn that on Saturday after
noon a Lotta matinco will bo given, to
enable ladies and children and others
who cannot attend tho theater at night
to see tho inimitable liltlo Lotta. This
is as it should be ; there is no reason why

Home testimeny as to the excellence
of a home medicine is the best that can
be produced. In this connection tbe
certificate of Dr. R. B. Shore, a well

ill be read with Interest :
Mornino Sun, February 2, 18(50.
Messrs. Mansfield A Co., Memphis :
Gentlemen : I have always had a dis
inclination to use, in my regular prac-
lice, any medicine of which I did not
know the component parts; but I have
noticed, for several years, a medicine
which you prepare, styled Hungarian
Balnam of Life, for tho cure of concha,
colds, consumption, bronchitis, nathma,
and other affections of tho throat and
lungR, which has proved, in every in
stance that has come under my observiv
tion, to be the best and most sovereign
remedy for these complaints I ever knew.
I can say wilh all candor that your
remedy lor lung diseases is a very
superior specific, as well as a scientific
preparation, essentially different from
all others of its class with which I am
acquainted. I most cordially indorse
its success, and will do everything in my
power to mnko its extraordinary effects
kuown to tho public.
X am, reppettlully yours,
it B. Suore.
