AarcDOTB.—Colonel DickNasb tells a
rich story about "axing for her” in hii
earlier days. He was deeply smitten will
the daughter of a wealthy old skinflint re
siding in Alabama. The Colonel, self
confident of success, arrayed himself ii
bis best suit, and proceeds to call on tin
“parent,” for the purpose of obtaining hi
consent to the consummation be devoutl]
wished. Matters had nil along gone 01
smoothly. C.jlonel Nuslt had everj
ground to *hope for success. Finally i
convenient season arrived for him to ap
prosch the old 'un, says the Colonel:
" 'Squire, my business to-day is to as!
you for your daughter’s hand.”
“ It is. is it? What? you marry my gal
Look here, young man, leave my premb
ses instanter, and if you ever set foot her*
again I'll make my niggers skin you
Marry my daughter, indeed! You

The Colonel had left. He saw that th«
old gentleman wns angry. After getting
off to a safe place he thought he would turn
and lake a last fond look at the home ol
his lost idol—when he espied the old mat:
busy, with spade in hand, shoveling up hit
tracks from the yard and throwing them
over the fence ! Colonel Nash imagine*
that he was an unwelcome visitor at the
house.

TO THE
MOUNT VERNON FUND.
We propose to the medical faculty and
manufacturers of medicine throughout the
United States to raise the sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars for the benefit of_the Mount
Vernon Fund, by a trial of skill in the cura
tive art, under the following stipulations, and
to which »c pledge ourselves, heirs and as
signs, to be governed, and to fully dischargs
the sbme:
1. Wc propose to test the qualities, medici
nal virtues and curative efficacies of our sys
tem of treatment of disease with our Rndway’s
Ready Relief, (Regulating Pills) and Reno
vating Resolvent, against all other treatments
or medicines employed for the cure of the sick,
either under the supervision of physicians of
the regular practice, or the medication of
Medicines manufactured as specialities, com
monly called patent medicines, in a given
number of cases, arid if our Ready Relief, Re
solvent and Regulating Pills do not prove the
most efficacious and successful in the treat
of the said disuses in which they are employed,
and more speedily and effectually cure the pa
tients than the medicine and treatment of our
opponents, we will pay over to the Treasurer
of the Mount Vernon Fund the sum of twenty
five thousand dollars, on or before the 1st day
of Jnnffaty, IHtio. on condition that those who
■accept our challenge will pay the same
amount, on or before the above date, if our
remedies prove victorious in this trial of skill.
We invite all physicians within the United
8tates, either in hospitals or private practice,
to compete with us in testing their system of
medical treatment, against the efficacies of our
three remedies—the Ready Relief, Renovating
Resolvent and Regulating Pills—and we give
to any physician who desires, the trial to be
made in public, the privilege of selecting any
hospital in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Charleston, New Orleans. St, Lou
is, Cincinnati, or Chicago, in which said
hospitals one-half of the patients are to be
given over to our charge, and subject only to
the treatment of such of our Three Remedies
as we may deem appropriate for the nature of
the disease of said patient; the remaining half
to be under the charge only of any three phy
sicians that may be selected for the same.
!i. YVe invite all pill manufacturers to a
test of the curative virtues of their pills
against the medicinal efficacy of Radw-y’s
Regulating Pills, in the treatin' 't of all .dis
eases for which they recommend their pills
as possessing superior and extraordinary vir
tue.
There are several spirited, liberal-minded
and skillful gentlemen engaged in the manu
facture and sale of pills who have not only
realized great wealth, but have been highly
successful in curing the sick with their pills.
The most successful and popular of these pills,
however, arc made after the recipe of a gen
tleman who flourished about 108 years since,
and as medical science has progressed rapidly
during the present century in other branches,
we see no reason why a great revolution and
i mnrAVnm»nf vhivnM nnt fairs* nlnrn its tlio
manufacture of pills.
For ourselves, we know that wc have made
the greatest improvement in the art of com
pounding pills, and that our Railway’s Regu
lating Pills are the best, most perfect, thor
ough. mild and effectual medicine in the form
of pills known to the world; and, as an evi
dence of their superiority, we earnestly invite
the learned, skillful and celebrated grandson
of the noble patriarch of 1753.as well ns oth
er pill manufacturers, to n public test of their
medicines against Railway's Regulating Pills,
pledging ourselves to use only half the' num
ber of our Regulating Pills In any disease,
however severe, that are used by our oppo
nents.
3 We invite and challenge physicians, and
all others, to produce a lotion, liniment, or
other preparation that will relieve or stop
pain, and protect those exposed to the insid
uous influences of malaria against its effects,
either in the form of fevers, cholera, dysen
terry, croup and other diseases incidental to
malarious poisons, with the same speed and
efficacy as Radway’s Ready Relief, if there
it a remedy in the known world that will ease
mankind of the excruciating tortures of pain,
either acute or inflamatory, or caused by ex
ternal or internal injuries or internal derange
ments, as speedily, effectually and with as
much safety to the general health of the sys
tem. as Radway’s Ready Relief, the public are
entitled to the information; and it so p'ovej.
on a fair trial, we will cheerfully withdraw
our remedy and pay the forfeit.
4 We invite all physicians, laymen and
others, to produce a medicine for the effectual
cure of chronic, scrofulous and constitutional
diseases, against Railway’s Renovating Resol
vent. We care not how long the disease may
have been established in the system, or through
how many generations it may have run—
whether the disease is syphillis, bronchitis,
consumption, ulcei s, fevers, sores, scorbutic
eruptions, fits, or any other disease transmisi
ble from sire to son—we invite and challenge
all inhaling physicians, homoeopathists, allo
pathists, and patent medicine manufacturers,
to a trial of skill against our Renovating Re
Resolvent.
We do not deem it necessary to make an
apology in publicly giving out this challerge.
It is a well known fact that, as a society, ,
there is no bodv or class of men so illiberal
in their sympathies and opinions in medical
matters as that obnoxious clique that custom .
calis-regular physicians.” i
For these past ten years we have called in 1
vain upon this medical oligarchy to give us a
fair trial to test our remedies—in the hospit- i
als and private practice under their supervi- ]
sion—and if our remedies were found worthy |
to receive their indorsements. As the Com- i
pletton of the Mount Vernon purchase is dear (
to every American citizen’s heart, we make j
this offer to raise a fund of $25,000 by a trie I a
of skill in the curative art. Other scienees ii
have generously come forward and contribu- i J
ted their share to this glorious enterprise, and j a
we see no reason why the medical fraternity ! i!
should not make lue sacrifice of a little of its i h
false dignity, and test its right in the eyes of ! a:
the people to the position it assume?) and if, U
after due trial and strict examination, it shall s;
he found worthy to occupy its position over ti
the theory we advocate, and the treatment w*
pi actice with our Ready Relief, Renovating oi
Resolvent and Regulating Pills, then this r<
medical fraternity wilt have achieved the o
great and good we k of seenrine to the Mount h
Vernon Futrd the sum of $25 000. n
