A Tale Without a Head.
Jake wns a little negro who belonged to
Dr. Talliaferro, and was said to have in his
little frame a heart as big as Gen. Jackson's
to say nothing of Napoleon To.iaparte and
Znck Taylor, lie did not fear even old Ni< k,
and as for coolness he was as cool as the tip-
top of the North Pole.
One daj- Dr. Talliaferro, upon the occasion
of the commencement of a Medical College,
of which he held the chair of Anatomy, gave
a dinner. Among his guests was a well
know? ventriloquist. Late in the evening,
tfb r I he bottle had done its work, the con-
versation turned upon courage, and the doc
tor boasted considerably upon the lion heart
of his favorite man Jack. He offered to bet
that nothing could scare him. and this bet
the ventriloquist took up, naming at the same
time the test he wanted imposed. Jake was
sent for and came.
"Jake," said the Doctor, "I have beta
large sum of money on your head, and you
must win it. Do you think }*ou can ?"
"Berry well, Massa," replied Jake; jes
tell dis nigger what he's to do, an' he'll do it
shure."
'•1 want yon to go to the dissecting room
You will find two dead bodies there. Cut oil
the head of one with a large knife which you
will find there, and bring it to us. You must
not take a light, however, and do not get
frightened."
" Dat's all. is it?" enquired Jake. Oh
berry well. I'd do dat. shure, for sertin
and as for bein frighten', old Satin himself
ain't gwine to frighten me."
Jake accordingly set oil*, and reaching the
lissecting room, groped about until he found
the knife and bodies. lie had just applied
the former to the neck of one of the latter,
when from the body he was about to deca-
pitate. a hollow and sepulchural voice ex
claimed:
"Let my head alone !"
'•Yes, sah."replied Jake: "I ain't 'tickular;
tudder head '11 do jes as well."
"lie accordingly put the knife to the neck
of the next corpse, when another voico equal
ly unearthly in its tone, skrieked out:
'•Let my head alone!"
Jake was puzzled at first but answered
presently:
'•Look a yah ! Massa Tellifcr sed I must
bring one ob de heads, and jou isn't gwine to
fool nn |no how!" and Jake hacked away until
he separated the head from the body. There-
upon half a dozen voic s all screamed out-
•'Bring it back! Bring it back !"
Jake had reached the door, but, on hearing
this, turned round and said:
"Now, now. see yah! Jes you keep quiet,
you duce ob a fool, an' don't wake up de
women folk. Massa only gwine to look at de
bumps."
'•Bring back my head at once !" cried the
voice.
"Tend to you. right away, sah!" replied
Jake, as he marched off with the head, and
the next minute he deposited it before tho
Doctor.
"So you've got it, I see," said Jake's mas
ter.
'Yes. sah," replied the unmoved Jake, ,;but
please be done lookin' at him soon, kase the
geminen tale me to foch him back right
away."

The old woman, who could not read her-

story:
"Oh, my poor son !"
"Why, wha.'s the matter, mother? I hope
o mischief."
"Oh, thank God, he's safe! Bnt he has
been driven into the Bay of Firmament by
bamboozle right in the teeth—it blowed great
guns, and they carried away the pulpit

the tabernacle—the captain lost his conjura-
tion, and couldn't get any salvation for fifteen
days—at last they arrived safe at Ilallelnjah."

Howxykr improbable it may appear to those that have
never been blessed with a knowledge of the great virtues
of the Oriental Life Liniment, and have been imposed
upon by being induced fco buy and use useless and inert
preparations, which afforded no relief, and probably done
hann. there is a medicine which is not a humbug: one
that is all that is claimed for it, a medicine that when
given a fair trial, will perform all that it advertises.
This valuable preparation 13 known by the name of
ORIENTAL LIFE LINIMENT.
It is not contended that, this Liniment is a cure-all,
but ic has given the most incontestable evidence that it is
the very be*t preparation known for the relief and cure
of all such diseases in man or beast, as require an exter-
nal application. For the relief ami cure of Rheumatism.
Sciatic, and wandering pnins. there caunot be a better
preparation composed, of all the articles in the materia
medica, than is presented in the Oriental Life Liniment.
For Tetter. Ringworm, and Erysipelas, this Liniment is
peculiarly adapted, and may be used with the happiest
effect To effect a speedy and permanent cure in cases
of Wounds, Curs, Sprains, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, or
Old Sores and Boils, the Oriental Life Liniment is abso-
lutely infallible, and in every case where the Liniment
is used according to directions, and fails to relieve or
effect a Cure, the money will be refunded, upon applica-
tion of the purchaser. The Life Liniment is equally
efficacious in diseases of Horses and Cattle, such as
Splint, Spavin, Farcy. Nodes. Sweeny, Swelling. Fresh
Cots, Wounds of any kind. Collar and Saddle Galls.
No farmer, or man of family, should be without this
liniment in his house.
Oy PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER BOTTLE.
Recollect to call for the Oriental Lite Liniment, and
take none except it has the engraved portrait and fac-
simile signature of the proprietor on the outside
wrapper, and the words, Sr. II. D. Porter's Oriental Life
liniment, blown in the glass. Ail others ere conn terfeit.

Ju ten minutes after taking a dose of this pleasant

have traveled iu vain the genial south and tiopics iu
search of health, without d*-riving the same, to have
bceueurcd by the R. R. Re«o!vnt.

In all eases of Brochitis that we have known the

AN INSTRUCTIVE CASE.-
hor two years or more I have had an inflammation
in my nose, tonsils and throat. I have treated it With
Sarsuparilia. Arsenic and Iodine for six mouths, with
perhaps some benefit. I w-as troubled jvith a fever in
the aaccted parts, with an occasional discharge ot
mucus I have used your ffesoivotit with the most
happy success. One bottle did me more good than the
six mouths" use of arsenic, iodine, &c. I have now no
further difficulty whatever, ahd consider myself con-
valescent. 1 have since cured several cases ot
Gonorrhoea. Gleet. Ulcers, fee... with the R. u. res'-l-

Remarkable effect of the R. R. Resolvent on
a girl given up to die—one hundred dol-
lars paid for her recovery—the body all
covered withfrightful snres:
W. B. P. Oliver, p. *. t f Drayton. Dooley Co , wrote
under date of May 8th, IS53. "That s very valuable
girl had been so atflicicd and tormented with scrofulous
ulcers that there was not s« und flesh enough about her
body to lay a Quarter of a dollar. She had been carried
home to die. N'o one in Diayton who had seen her
would give a dune for her life. Mr. Oliver, however,
persuaded her master to give radwpay's renotating
resolvent. Mr. Oliver attempted the experiment.
( ave the Resolvent several times per day. k Iu a few
hours she became stronger. In a few days she fell
better. In twenty days she was sntirely cured, and
was again about her usual duties, as happy nnd as
hearty as ever. Not a sear was left to disfigure her
skin; her skin was smooth and flesh sound.'*
FIFTEEN MONTHS LATER.
On the 18th of August. 1345. fifteen months after this
wonderful cure was made. Mr. Francis Horton wrote
us. that the generous master of the girl presented Mr.
Oliver with one hundred dollars for his attention on
the girl, and rec mmending the use of the R. R. Re-
solvent. The girl isiu the full enjoyment of health.

R. R. REGULATORS.
\ New Principle iu Medicine, never be-
fore known or possessed by any Purga-
tive, Cathartic, or Anti bilious pills
in use. The true way to Purify
the Blood. Let all who
have ever taken Pills
read and investigate
the Theory ou
which It ad-
way's Reg-
ulators
are
founded.
THE MOST PERFECT PIL „S IN USE.
And the only Pills tl«u possess any new incdieiil
properties. <>r Regulating Power, that liavc- been dis-
eovered during the present century.
The action of RadwayTs Regulators on the human
system establishes a new principle iu mcdicine, viz.
that the blood cimiot be purified by the direct or
specific vction of any drug upon it. as an egg or piece
of isinglass purifies our coffee. We are aware that
many learned doctors, writes on materia medica. and
proprietors of popular medicine', gravely assert this
doctrine, and recommend their remedies to possess
this mysterious property of clearing the blood. We
deny that such is the fact, and we assert that no medi-
einecan purify the blood except through the medium
of the glands, viz. the liver, pancreas, skin, kidneys,
bowels. &c.. which are the sewers that liatu-e has
established for this purpose Railway's Regulator
exert II controlling influence over these glands, com-
pensating for any unwarrantable action or sluggish-
ness on their part, by which the proper amount nf ex-
cretions is expelled from the blood, leaving this fluid
iu its natural state.
Kadway's R g-ulators
Possess another important principle which no other
medicine, iu the form of Pills, ever yet possessed,
namely:—that of leaving the bowels aid all other
organs in the system regularand healthy—after they
operate.
Radway's Regulators
are the most mild, effectual, perfect purgative,
r'aihartic. aperient, anti-bilious Regulating Pills ever
discovered or giveu to the people. They are a great
I'amily physic forgeue.al use.
QuicK and pleasaut in their action.
Mild and effectual in their operation.
Never sicken. Gripe, or Weaken the system.
Klegamly coated with Gum. perfectly tasteless.
Tlicv regulate, to a natural and healthy action, and
remove all morbid humors from the
Liver, 1 towels, Kidneys. Claiuls,
Skin. Pancreas. Bladder. Lungs.
And purify the blood by Cleansing the. Sewers of the
System and regulating every organ to a natural and
healthy action Those who desire health, should
search" for tbe proper remedies to aid nature in ridding
their bodies of disease and infirmities.
Great Mistake of Pill Doctors.
The most popular Pills are deficient iu their com-
position ami niedieial properties. Manufacturers of
lhe best vegetable purgative, or anti-bilious Pills of
the present century, have overlooked the most impor-
lanl properties thai Pil-s should possess, viz. the Rc-
?u l:\iiug powers of their Pills. No one can enjoy per-
fect health unless each and every organ possess a
healthy and natural action.
Their Quick Acti n.
Railway's Regulators arc prepared on the same
theory as "Radway's Ready Relief, to qet quick and
lo relieve the patient from the distressing ailments thai
afflict the system immediately. As soon as the Regu-
lators are swallowed they begin iheir work of regula-
ling the system, and exercise over the diseased parts
a healty influence. If troubled with Coughs. Colds.
Influenza. Sore Throat, Colds in the Head. Hoarse-
ness, take from two lofour ofU. R. Regulators, on
iroing to bed. and in the morning all difficulty will be
removed. If troubled with c-"stiven*ss, indigestion,
disease of the live, or kidneys, a few doses of Rat! way's
Regulators wili remove (lie difficulty, and restore lilt-
system tc orlcr. regularity and health. Radway**
Regulators ai? pleasant iu their operation, arcelcgaiil
ly coaled wit i glim, never sicken or gripe the paiiein:
liiey are free rom mercury or calomel, and will sure-
ly restore th weak and sickly to health and strength
The Bowels.
Railway's Regulators do not act exclusively o the
bowels by the forCft of their irritating properties. Ivni by
lheir regulating effects upon lhe liver, pancreas, kid-
neys, and all oilier organs in the system, induce a
thorough discharge of both bile and pancreatic juice
nto the bowels, thus using nature's purgative, viz.
ihe bile and pancreatic iuiee. to operate on the bowels
Radway's Regulators are the only pills ill use thai
move the bowels in a natural manner; all other pur-
gative pills now in u<c move lhe bowels bv 111rir
irritating prope" ties ou the coats of the inlesl..ies, ill
the same niauntr that the bowels are moved by the
irritation of It oil eaiei that disagrees with the stomaeli:
and all these scouring operations arc attended wilti
great pain, anil invariably leave lite bowels costive,
and the ?y<t*ai jjru*trnlc.! with feebleness ami irregu-
