Memphis, August 11, 1858-tf.
CO T TON PL ANTERS,
ATTENTION!
A COTTON GIN FEEDER that will save
the labor of a hand at every Cotton Gin
to which it may be attached, thus dispensing
with feeding by hand, (a very injurious prac
tice to the close attendant.) is certainly a desi
rable object. Besides which, the Feeder will
remove a large portion of the dust, dirt, hulls,
etc., from the cotton, before it enters the gin,
thus improving the quality and “sample” of
the cotton, that will be an important point. I
claim that my
Eclipse Cottmi Gin Feeder
will accomplish the above results. I have Let
ters Patent for it, bearing date October 13,
1857.
I am willing to put up one of them in a
aeignoornood, tnat planters may see tor ttiem
selves whether it will benefit them or not.
One of them is now on exhibition at the

Dr. Sledge —Dear Sir : I have sold all yom
Cholera or Diarrhcea Syrup. I have used it
myself, and also in my family several times,
and I can say for the truth, it is the best medi
cine for the Flux I have ever seen, for it has
not failed to cure Id every case in 48 hours. 1
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.
Yours, etc., E. V. TUCKER.

Hazlehurst, Miss., July 7th, 1858.
Dr. J. M. Sledge—Dear Sir-. After my re
spects to you, please let me say to you that my
friend, Mr. F. Russer, the gentleman to whom
I went with to sea from Gallatin, has im
proved to the extent that lie is able to go any
where his business calls him ; in fact your
medicine has performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it Iras been
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
liurst, the depot near me, 1 have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as I understood
you to say when you were here that you
would take oil 20 or 25 per cent. You will
therefore please send to me say 18 bottles
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Bone
Liniment, 24 bottles Hoarhound Pectoral, and
the balance of the One Hundred Dollars which
you will find enclosed, in your Nervous Tonic.
1 send the right hand end of the money, and
on the reception of the first half, you will
please send the medicine and write to me, and
[ will send the other half. I expect you to
send me your Nervous Tonic at $1 tiO, as you
delay sending the Medicine, as there is a con
siderable demand or call for it. Mr. Peave,
who was given over to die in a few days, is up
and going about, and I have no douht he will
recover. THOS. H. WHEELER.

Dn. J. M. Sledge :
Dear Sir—In conversation with your agent,
I learned that some prejudiced persons, which
are to be found everywhere, against patent med
icines, spoke of your medicines as not doing
much for themselves or any one else. To sec
justice done between all parties, and to enable
others, if they wish, to receive the same bene
fits that I have from your medicines, I will
simply give you a statement of facts, which
you can make any use of you please. If any
one doubts let them call on me and I can satis
fy them. I am probably as well known as any
one in this portion of the State, but I am not
in the habit of giving certificates, but feel
that in giving this one I am fully justified.—
My son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
and lay seventeen or eighteen days, when all
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
peared to do him any good, I commenced giv
ing him your Diarrhma or Flux Syrup, and he
:ommenced mending immediately. I verily
believe it was the saving of his life. You have
die facts. Hoping that others may receive
he benefit that my son did, I remain, yours
respectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.
Anderson, Tenn,, March 31, 1858.
Dr. Si.kdge:—Dear Sir: Your medicines
lave rendered general satisfaction here ; they
lave even gone beyond the flattering recom
nendation given by yourself. I have used in
ny family, with unparalleled success, your
Vervous Tonic, your Diarrhcna Syrup, and
four Liniment and Hoarhound Pectoral j and
lave found them superior to any medicines
iver used here, for the various diseases arising
rora a miasmatic country like this, where
fever and Ague, Diarrhoea and Rheumatism,
ire the prevailing diseases. Your Nervous
ronic has been used by many others as well
is myself, as a preventive of Fever and Ague )
md it has invariably given satisfaction. 1
or one say emphatically that It will prevent
Chills and Fevers, if taken according to the
lirectioii9; and that one bottle will save any
amily ten times the cost, if used as a preven
iye. I used it in my family last year, and I;
vill certify on oath that one bottlo saved me
it least ten times its cost. The three years
irevious to last year, not one of us escaped
he Chills and Fevers, and last year we used ;
inly one ef yeur bottles of Nervous Tonic;!
