"JUST IMAGINE HOW I FELT."
Brfxswick, Co., Va.
November 5th, 1881.
Mrs. Jox Peksost, .
Franklinton, N. O.'
Dear Madam : It is with pleasure
I that write to tell you that your valua
ble Remedy has entirely cured me of a
most fearful looking and painrul sore on
my ankle. It came more than twelve
months ago, very much like a ring worm.
I painted it with Tinct Iodine, until it
became a very painful and bad looking
place. Then 1 commenced to try every
thing I could think or hear of, until it
became so very painful I could scarcely
walk, when I went to the best doctor in
the country for advice. He told me
he could cure me if I would take my bed
and there remain for four or five weeks,
and if I did not do so pretty soon, it
could not be cured at all, as the Bone
would become diseased, and my foot
would have to be taken off. Just imag
ine how I felt, to be told there was no
cure for the core but to lose my foot, or
give up all business either of these Re
medies would hare ruined me. Mind
vou this was the advice of one of the best
doctors in the State of North Carolina,-
and this conversation took place last
February. I continued to burn with
caustic, as ho advised until September,
but derived no benefit from his treatment.
I wa3 advised then - by a friend to try
your Remedy, (Bitters and "Wash) took
the first dose the 17th of September, and
I am now a well man, the sore is perfect
ly cured, and I can now walk as far,
dance as much and jump as high as any
man you know. Put me back to the 1st
of September, let me know as much as I
nofedoof the virtue of your Remedy,
and I would not hesitate to pay tea dol
lars a bottle for it, if I could not get it
for less. I think more of it than any
medicine in the world. It is not only
the best Remedy to purify the blood and
cure all skin diseases, but I believe it will
cure all kinds of Wood diseases, and I
Know it will cure a love for strong drink.
I hope you will have this published, as
there are many sufferers who could be
cured, if they could know c f and get your
Remedy I am truly and respectfully,

Last Xlglit'i Fire.
At about 11 o'clock last night . the
alarm fcf fire was sounded, caused by the
burning of two rice barns on the oppo.
site side of the river, a short distance
below the city, on the plantation of Mr.
George W. Kidder. They contained
about 4,000 bushels of rice, 1.000 of
which were threshed. Ther wpra ravpra.1
stacks of rice which were also consumed.
The fire is supposed to 'have, been the
work of an incendiary; as no one about
the premises could give any other reason.
, Mr. ICidder was insured" fa agencies
represented by Messrs. Atkinson k Man
ning, for $6,625, as follows:
On Rice Queen Insurance Company
$2,000,-Commercial Union, 2,000; Vir
ginia Home, $1,625. On barnsNorth
Carolina Home, $1,000. The rice, of
which there was about 2,500 bushels, be
longed to Mr. Kidder, and-this wa3 cov
ered by the insurance; but on 'the two
barns destroyed, which were the proper
ty of Messrs. Northrop & Cumming, the
loss will exceed the insurance.

Our report of the test yesterday after
noon was necessarily imperfect, as the
time allowed us was too short. We are
glad to say that while complete, it was in
every respect satisfactory. The follow
ing is thejeport of the inspectors sta
tioned at the various points: -
Water and Market Streets. Water
was thrown through a one-inch nozzle
with one section of 50 feet hose to an av
erage height of 109 feet. Through
two sections of hose, or 100 feet, water
was thrown 125 feet horizontally.
Front and Church Streets. This plug
or fire hydrant is the farthest off from
the pumping station, being over three
miles distant by the route the water had
to take to reach it, and through fifty feet
of hose with a one-inch nozzle the av
erage height reached was 108 feet.
Fifth and Market Streets. -This hy
drant being near the feeder on Fourth
street, an average height of 143 feet was
attained with a one-inch smooth ntzzle.
Fourth and Red Cross Streets. The
record at this point was very accurately
kept and the report full and complete,
and shows an average height of 111
feet. The position is an exposed one
and a high wind was blowing during
the entire time the streams were played
At this point there was a stream thrown
horizontally 156 feet. 1
Fourth and Harnett Streets. This
was also an exposed position, and the
firemen.not being familiar with the man
ner of opening the hydrants, did not get
any water until Dr. Cloud, the contractor
was sent for and opened the hydrant,
after which they threw a stream to an
average height of 111 J feet.
The above streams were all thrown
throught fifty feet ot linen hose and the
averages are figured from observations
taken every five minutes during the test.
The engines pumped at the rate of 1,600,"
000 gallons every twenty-four hours,
with an average steam'pressure of sixty
three pounds to the square inch and an
average water pressure of nearly one hun
dred pounds to the square inch at the
a
pumping station.
H. R. Worthington, of New York,
built the machinery for pumping, and
the perfect nicety with which it works
reflects much credit upon the builder
Mr. John Slingerland had the supervis
ion of the boilers and machinery during
the test, and was assisted by Mr. Geo.
Alsover and Mr. W. H. Brewer, all in
. a sk
the employ of Messrs. J. A. L.ioudK
Co.. the contractors. Mr. John Sweeny,
late engineer of the, Wm, Nyce, who is
to be the resident engineer, was also
present to assist and to be iiducted into
bis new position.
The inspectors and firemen were much
commended by Dr. Cloud for their gen
lpmnnlv demeanor and the conscientious
discharge of their duty during the test.
