To Get Rid op Carpet-Haooers.—
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette, writing on the 7th
inst., says: A highly important ques
tion has been mooted, and is now be
ing discussed in political circles hore,
as to whether the Southern States can
by any constitutional or legal means
rid themselves of the carpet baggers
who have succeeded in creeping into
the United States Senate, without a
constituency to represent, if it be
shown that they do not represent the
people of the States from which they
pretend to hail.—Prominent legal
gentlemen have given an opinion that
it could be done by means of the writ
of quo warranto, to bo taken out by the
Governor of each State, and thus bring
the question into the Supreme Court,
whore the legality of the Southern
electious could be thoroughly tested
and determined.

othar remedies have failed. D is purely veg
etable. and no bad effects from ovei dosing
need be feared—buy one bottle and get cured I
Also, Hurley’s Worm Candy for children, is
the best and most pleasant known ; auy child j

loss of appetite, cannot be equaled. Also. 1
for purifying the blood, nothing equal# Dr.

I

Having had indubitable evidence of its
prompt and certain effects from the tcstjjuu
uy of a multitude of respectable
among whom are classed some of od(r^Si*t
physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend
this Preparation in all cases of Fever and
Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the
facts in our possfflFon of its intrinsic value.
when the directions are strictly complied
1 with, we warrant a cure iu every case where
j it is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, aud
I tl»e cheapest medicine in the world. Tliere
I fore, in truth, it may be declared the day is
! not far distaut when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where Fever and
! Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist,
i The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton- |
, ic Syrup in neutralizing the effects of mala- i
i rious poison iu the humau system, can only
: explain its extraordinary agency in the
I speedy, thorough and permanent cure of I
Chills aud Fever or Fever and Ague, and all j
their kindred diseases, in whatever form of
Bilious Complaints they may make their ap
pearance.
As its name imports, it is a Tonic of rare
and medicinal virtues, composed of pure aud |
harmless ingredients, and are so united as to
form a compound alike skillful in art, beau- |
tiful in appearance, and can be taken with i
! safety to the most delicate constitutions. It
is the result of a lifetime of experience and
practice in a Southern climate, and was nev- ,
or known to fail, even where all othe reme- j
1 dies had been tried in vain.
j Those who are unacquainted with the ex- j
! traordinary properties of this home produc- j
j tion, manufactured from Boots and Plants
I iudigenous to the soil of our “sunny South,” I
i (and hence adapted to the cure of Southern j
i climatic diseases) are respectfully referred
j to the certificates of respectable citizens
; whose names arc embraces in a pamphlet
! which accompanies each bottle; also the en- I
« dnrsemouts of the press in all the Southern j
j States, indicating the many thousand cures j
j already performed by our justly celebrated j
j Texas Tout© Syrup.
i The reports from hundreds of Druggists, ,
Merchants and Dealers, from all parts of the
country, are uniform in stating the medicine
is safe, certain ^nd reliable, as a substitute
for Quiuino aud the poisonous compounds
heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly
supplanting everything of this class.
As a home enterprise it especially com
mends itself to the peoplo'of this section of
the country, who are now struggling iu an
effort to do away with old prejudices in favor i
of foreign produce, and may we not hope j
! foreign “Quack Nostrums,” the proprietors
| of which, iu most cases, are governed by no
! thing but mercenary motives, kuow nothing
of the properties of Medicinal Agents, and
care uothing for our interests, oxcept to en
tice our people into the use of their vile
mixtures.
The Texas Tonio Syrup is packed in cases
of two dozen.
Dealers supplied upon better terms than
any other remedy affords.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Last February
I was iu Louisville purchasing drugs, and 1
got some of your Sarsaparilla and Ccdron
Bitters.
My son-in-law who was with me in the
store, has been down with rheumatism for
some time, commenced on the Bitters, and
aoon found his general health improved.
Dr. Gist, who has been in bad health, tried
them, and he also improved.
Dr. Coffee, who has been in bad health for
several years—stomach and liver affected—he
improved very much by the use of your Bit
ters. Indeed the Ccdron Bitters has given
you great popularity in this settlement. I
think l could sell a great quantity of your
medicines this fall—especially of your Ccd

WORM DESTROYER.
To my United States and World
wide Readers.
I have reccWbd many testimonials front
professional and medical men, as my alma
nacs and various publications have shown,
all of which are genuine. The following let
ter from a highly educated and popular phy
sician in Oeorgia, is cortainly one of ihe most
sensible communications I have ever received.
Dr. Clemeut knows exactly what ho speaks
of, and his testimony deserves to be written
in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor
says of BULL'S WORM DESTROYER:
Villanow, Walker County, Ga., |
Du. John Bull—Dear Sir: l have recent
ly given your “Worm Destroyer’’ several
trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It
lias not failed in a single instance to have the
wisfied for effect. I am doing a pretty largo
VUUlIlIjr jil ilVltl/C, (Uiu unw uai i i iui .”**•*
article of the kind. I am free to confess that
1 know of no remedy recommended by the
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy
in its effects. On the contrary they are un
ccrteain in the extreme. My object in writ
ing you is to find upon what terms I can get
the medicine directly from you. If I can get
it upon easy terms, i shall use a great deal of
it. I atn aware that the use of such articles
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. D.’s,
but I see uo just cause or good sense in dis
carding a remedy which we know to be effi
cient, simply because we may be ignorant of
its combination. For my part, 1 shall make
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate
suffering humanity which I may be able to
command—not hesitating because sonic one
more ingenious than myself may have learned
its effects first, and secured the sole right to
secure that knowledge. However, I am by
no means an advocate or supporter of the
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all Uiiunu
of disease to which human flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your
best terms. 1 am, sir, most respectfully,
JULIUS P. CLEMENT, M. D.

SARSAPARILLA.
A Good Reason for the Cap

HEAD THE CAPTAIN’S LETTER AND THE
LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER.
Benton Barracks, Mo., April 30, 1806.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the
efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, and the heal
ing and beneficial qualities it possesses, 1
send you the following statement of my case.
I was wouncled about two years ago—was
taken prisoner and confined for sixteen
months. Being moved so often, my wounds
have not honied yet I have not sat up a
moment since 1 was wounded. I am shot
through the hips. My general health is im
paired, and 1 need something to assist na
ture. I have more faith in your Sarsaparilla
than any thing else. I wish that that is gen
uine. Please express me half adozen bottles,
and oblige
Catt. C. T. JOHNSON,
St. Louis. Mo.
P. S.—The following was written April 80,
1865, by Mrs Jennie Johnson, mother of
Capt. Johnson.
I)r. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband. Dr. C.
8. Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physi
cian in Central New York, where ho died,
leaving the above C. P. Johnson to ray care.
At thirteen years of age he had u chronic di
arrhea and scrofula, for which I gave him j
vmir SkrsanurillA. If Cured Him. I have 1
for ten years recommended it to many in i
New York, Ohio, and Iowa, for scrofula, fe- ;
ver sores, and general debility. Perfect suc
cess has attended it. The cures effected in
some cases of scrofula and fever sores were almost
miraculous. 1 am very anxious for my son
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.
He is fearful of getting a spurious article,
hence his writing to you for it. His wounds
were terrible, but 1 believe he will recover.
Respectfully,
JENNIE JOHNSON.

Smith’s Tonic Syrup!
FOR THE CURE OF

OR
CHILLS & FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public lor the
safe, certain, speedy, and permanent euro of
Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long stauding. lie refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the as
sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to cure, if the directions are strictly followed
and carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has boen sufficient for a cure and
whole families have been cured by a single
bottle, With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, aud iu
every case more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing cases.
Usually, this niediciuo will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order; should
the patient, however, require a cathartic
medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of PULL’S
VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be suffi
cient.

giirlry'is Sarsaparilla,
OF all the remedies that have been discov
ered during the present age for the "thousand
ills that flesh is heir to." none equal this won
derful preparation. Only ten years have
elapsed since the discoverer, (who spent a
decade in studying experiments, and perfect
ing it,) first introduced it to the public, and
it is already recognized by the most eminent
physicians in all parts of the country to be
the most surprising and effective remedy for
certain diseases of which they have knowl
edge.
All other Compounds or Syrups of this root
have hitherto failed to command the snnetion
of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they
have been found to contain noxious ingredi
ents, which neutralize the good effects of the
Sarsaparilla, and oftentimes injure the health
of the patient. It is not so with Hurley’s
preparation.
This is the pufe and genuine extract of the
root and will, on trial, be found to effect a
certain and perfect cure oi the following tom
plaints aud diseases:
Affection of tflie Hones, Habitual
Costlveness, Diseases of the
Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Ery
