I went into the stable one night to apply it to a uoree's sore lefr, and nelug very lame be stumbled and fell against my legs, crushing and bruising them so badly that they turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless. 1 applied your Lini ment, and was well enough in a few days to go about again as nsual.

M'gee. fEsq, Barker, of Canton, 111., says; Mr. U. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment has cured some bad cases here, which every other remedy had failed in : one was a white swelling and contracted cords in the lea of a bov 12 years old. The leg had withered away, and was so contracted that he had no use of it. Three doctors had tried their skill up on it in vain, and he was fast sinking to the grave, when the bov's father was induced to try II. G. Far rell's Arabian Liniment. Before the first bottle was used up he came to Mr. B.'s store, and the first words he said were, '-Mr. Barker, I want all that Unimeut you have in the store ; the one bottle I got did my boy more good than all that had ever been done before." That boy is now well and hear ty, and has free use of his l3gs. It Is pood for brui ses, sprains, cuts, burns aud swellings. LOOK OUT FOR COUNTERFEITS!

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures of Consumption than any other remedy known to the American public. They are compounded of vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing winch can be injurious to the human constitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat dan gerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by con sumptive patients, It must do great injury; for its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in tLe systaji, which, of course, innst make a cure impos sible. Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle of opium; it is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, ana thus corrects all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body . These arc the only means byj which Consumption can be cured, and as Schcnck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Tills are the only medicines which ope. rate in this way, it is obvious that they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. FOREIGN ISTIQWS. London, J une 27.

But this is not as effective an argatnent as the secretary imagines. Let us remind him of a little historical fact direct to the point; when the five-twenty bonds, sixteen hundred millions in amount, were issued during the war, they were sold for greenbacks, not one dollar of gold was ever exacted for them. By secretary Sherman's rule.then, they ought to be payable in greenbacks independently of tLe fact that tbey were payable in greenbacks, by the letter and spirit of the contract; but in 1869 Mr. Sherman, as senator from Ohio, voted to piy them in coin thus denying to the people the benefit ot a rule which he lays down for the advantage of the bond holder.
