JUST IMAGINE HOW I FELT."
Bsuxswicx, Co., Ta.,
NoTcmbcr 5tht 1881
1Us,Jo2 Fssses,
Franklinton, N. O.
Dkar Madam: It is with pleasure
that I write to tell you that your valua
ble Remedy bas entirely cured we of a
most feartol looking and painful sore on
my anklet It came more than twelve
months ago, very much like a ringworm.
I painted it with TincL Iodine, until it
became a very painfel and bad looking
place. Then I 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
tho country for advice. He told mo
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. J ust imag
ine how I felt, to be told there was no
cure for the sore but te lose my foot, or
give up all business either of these Re
medies would have ruined me. Mind
you this was the advice of one of the best ;
doctors in the State of North Carolina, !
nd this conversation took place la6t
February. I continued to burn with
caustic, as he advised until September,
bukderived no benefit from his treatment.
I was advised then by a friend to try
jonr Remedy, (Bitters and v aenj toos
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,
danco as much and jump as high as any
man you know. Put me back to the 1st
of September, let me know as mnch as I
now do of 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 lets. 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 blood disease?, 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
cored, if they could know c f and set your
Remedy 1 am truly and reppectfoPy,

External Use of Castor Oil

have found purgative results follow the

states that he has frequently applied this

or other waterproof material, in cases
where the usual way of administering by
the month seemed undesirable, and with
most satisfactory consequences. In a
case of typhoid fever; also, half an ounce
of castor oil was applied in this mrnner.

The Lutheran Pastorate
At the meeting of the congregation of
St. Paul's Lutheran! Church, held yester
day afternoon, it was unanimously decid.
ed to extend a call to the pastorate of
that church to Rev. F. W. E. Feschau,
of Nashville, Tenn., who, as our readers
are aware, has been on a visit to the city
for a few days past, and who preached in
8t. Paul's last Sunday. The result was
arrived at by ballot. Mr. Peschau will
accept, as he humorously remarked to us
yesterday, in response to our interroga
tion, that if the call should be extended
to him unanimously, he could do no less
than accept unanimously.
Mr. Peschan left the city last evening
for Nashville, where he is to preach
next Sunday. He is to enter upon the
pastorate of St. Paul's on tho first of
January, and will probably preach his
first regular sermon in that church on
New Year's Day, which falls on Sunday,

We had a visit to-day from Mr. J. 0.

change in this city, and we learn from'
him that hs is satisfactorily serving
about 75 subscribers wiUs more than a
fair prospect of additions to the present
number. We learn that all the instru
ments are in perfect working order, and
it is the determination ot the Manager
to make the Exchange what it should be
a reliable and sure convenience to the
businessmen ot Wilmington. Progress
has also been made in regulating the fire
alarm, and will soon be completed. It
is of the utmost importance that this
branch of the Telephone service should
be in perfect order, and no pains will be
spared to make it so.
