How it Works. Mi John Myrick, a
respectable citizen of Hertford' County,
North Carolina, a short time since, was
preparing to emigrate with his family and
negroes to a more Smthern State for the
purpose of establishing a cotton planta

which he had fixed for his departure, he
apprised his slaves of his intentions, and
some half dozen of them being averse to
accompany their master, ran away. They
were apprehended after being out a few j

iHidley's ilnti-rlicimiaticOil
A certain and speedy Cure for Chronic
Rheumatism, Spasms of the Afus
cles Ligaments and Back, and
for Sprains, Bruises, and
Contusions.
THE history of this invaluable medicine is re
markable. It has risen into notice, and estab
lished a high and just reputation in the region
of country where it has been tried, atone from the
surprising and numerous cures it has effected.
The Proprietor. Dr. Samuel Dudley, Hospital
Surgeon, on the Island of Portsmouth, North
Carolina, has used it with unfailing success, both
in the hospital, and in hU privale practice about
twenty years During that period itlusbeen at
trading public attention, and gradually rising in
to general and high reputation in all that region
of country, solely, by the surprising certainty of
the cures it has uniformly effected. Until very
recently: it has never been advertised, nor have
any pains been taken to extend its celebriiyi Us
high reputation therefore is permanent, because
it is based upon surprising and unfailing expert )
ments alone. Thp Proprietor encouraged yj Us
eminent success in cases of Chronic Rheuma-
tUm, and y the advice of his friends, and he
will add, actuated by a desire to extend a3 far as
possible the benefits of it3 healing properties, is
now taking measures to make its wonderful pio
perties generally knowni All he asks is a fair
trial. It is now offered to the a icted in the
Eastern portion .f North Carolina. The pro
prietor is perfectly willing to put the result of its
success or failure upon its success or failure, in
curing or failure to euro any case of Chronic
UheumatUm, or other affection for which it is re
commended. Certificates from highly respectable sources
like the following, can , b multiplied to almost
