Mr. Eastman in Costume. (JAPTUEED AND BRANDED BY THE CAMANCHE INDIANS IN THE YEAR '60. A T B E N A B, B A T 1 V E. I if the year 1860 1 was captured by the Co- [ Blanche Indians while journeying with my family to California. My parents and an j only brother were murdered before my eyes, i while my young wife was saved to meet a fate worse than death. They intended to toiture me before the yes of my wife, before putting me to an and, but circumstances occurred whereby they found I could be made useful to them, and after much wrangling they concluded to spare my life also. They branded each of m upon the chin with the brand of a cap- tive, which mark can never be effaced while time with us lasts. My wife was soon soJd to a neighboring tribe, for a few trinkets, , while I was put to hard labor of all descrip- I tions. After seven years of hardship, fcoilj and privation, and suffering indignities al- \ most too degrading to mention, I at last suc- ceeded in making my escape. I traveled by night and rested in hiding I places by day, until at length I fell in with ajjparty of friendly Indians, who were guid- ing some miners to a desired route of travel. I joined their parly, and together we jour- neyed to the mines of San Ifdefonso. In the wrarse of a few months I learned from these same friendly Indians that a white female, branded as a captive,'had been seen among the Apaches. This I believed to be my wife; and after months of almost discouraging ef- forts, I succeeded in 'effecting her rescue, risking my life and her own in the effort. t I have lately published the sad history of myself and wife and entitled it "Seven and Nine Years among the Comanches and Apaches." The object of THIS little pamphlet is to I form araoi foan; give the public the benefit of valuable in- formation which I obtained while a captive ig the Indians, and which knowledge I d of great value vrhile among the min- i'S;ui 5 Mo:!'"- is .. Wakoinetkla was the Medicine Man of the tribe with whom I was a captive. He com- pelled me to gather the gums, barks, herbs and roots necessary in the treatment of the diseases to which the tribe were subject. He taught me to prepare these remedies in- to a bitter compound which he gave to the people of the tribe when sick. I gathered these medicines at odd times for six years; and, although I THEN never expected to have the opportunity of making them useful to civilized people, still I felt .a deep interest in watching their effect upon his patientvS, and often wondered how this wiidman of the plains could have possessed himself of such wonderful knowledge in the cure of various diseases. While working in the mines, I frequently had occasion to make use of the Indian Medicine. We were exposed to sudden changes, and in the rainy season, those of us who were as yet unaccustomed to the humid atmosphere often falling sick, I found it useful to myself, and I did not hesitate to urge upon others the necessity of using it. Its beneficial effects soon made an agreeable change in the health of our party, nndin a short time we became the most rugged par- ty of miners who had ever worked in that field. They soon styled me Doctor, but it gave me no displeasure, for although I took no credit to myself for the success of Wako- metkla's compound, still I felt I was the means of its introduction among these sons of toil, and I felt a wholesome satisfaction in witnessing its beneficial influence. After rescuing my wife, we soon returned to the east, and although I have been en- gaged in other pursuits, still I never fully relinquished my interest in the remedies which 1 was taught to REVEKKSOK while among the Indians. I have been too poor to introduce the compound, and I did notwiflb to ask help from others. In the fall of 3871 1 Coll iu with ; mold itfl i conii>odkiim; it can be weed by the most friend and room-mate, who was a medical student in the city <>f New Haven, while I was engaged in that oily in another capao- ity; when "informed that he was practicing medicine, 1 told him of the cures I had seen made among the Indians and the miners with Wako- metkla's medicine; and expressed a wish that it could be made universal- ly known. He at once proposed to assist me in introducing it, as he was satisfied that no better remedy could be made than that formed from the roots, trunis, herbs and barks which entered io to its composition. My friend has furnished the necessary funds for the introduction of the medicine, and as he is an educated, able, physician, I feel confident its intro- duction will be doubly successful, aided by his experience. As the far west is not aa dangerous a locality as it was some -twelve years since, and as it will be necessary that 1 visit my old haunts once or twice each year, 1 have thought it proper to leave the entire man- agement of the business with him. The publication of the book above referred to, also occupies much of my leisure time, therefore I feel confident greater success will attend our efforts, if left to his manage- ment and care. I, of course, shall devote the bulk of my time in obtaining the ma- terials necessary in the composition of the remedy, and in assisting in its manufacture. The medicine is the same now as when Wakoinetkla taught and compelled me to Wakometkla, the Medicine Mail, and delicate babe, or the most infirm, aged or feeble; care only is required in giving at- tention to the directions. This Syrup possesses varied properties. It acts upon the Liver. It acts upon tfce Sid- neys. It regulates the Bow- els. It purifies the Blood. It quiets the Nervous System. It promotes Digestion* It Nourishes, Strength- ens and Invigorates. It carries off the old blood, and makes New. It opens the pores of the skin, and induces healthy perspiration. The Indian Syrup does all this; for ALL diseases arise from a bad state of r he blood. This virus or impurity in the blood, is effe c t u a 1 ly neu tralized and destroyed by the use of the Syrup. If the Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Bowels, Nerves, Muscles Brain are kept in motion and fed by bad blood they must soon wear out. The Syrup makes good blood which will nourish and preserve every organ and part of the body, and keep it in repair un- til a ripe old age. Have You Liver Disease t If the skin be sallow and muddy, if there be ringing in the ears, constipation of the bowels, dull pains iu the side, sick head- ache, sick stomach, hot and dry skin, spots before the eyes, bad taste in the mouth, cold feet and hands ; sleepiness, giddiness. make it; nothing is added, and nothing is {loss of appetite, bad circulation of the blood, taken away. It is without doubt the best ; swelled limbs, &e., &c?, then you may con- purifier of the blood and renewer of the sys- j elude your liver is out of order and that you tern which has been known for many years, i need something to start it into action. The I say what I KNOW to be true; for I have i liver is more liable to get out of order than seen hundreds of sick Indians, miners, and i any other organ of the body. Its duty is to others among my acquaintances, many of < filter the impurities from the blood, and whom were given up by their physicians to when it becomes weak, obstructed and dis- die, entirely restored to health and strength ' by the use of this remedy. Newspaper men, calomel doctors, and others wedded to their family physicians, will denounce the medi- cine and call it and me a humbug. To these and all others, I would say, use the medicine yourself, and on your sick friends, and if upon trial, you are not satisfied that it pos- sesses KKAL virtue, then call upon my agent, and -he or she will refund the money. Leaving the business management of fee introduction of this truly remarkable Reme- dy to the superior intelligence of my friend, Dr. CLARK JOHNSON, and leaving the public to judge for themselves of the merits of this srift of nature, I am, truly yours, EDWIN fc A-STMAN. We have thought eased, and fails to do its duty properly, then the whole body suiters in consequence. Nothing will more speedily and effectually remove billiousness and inactivity of the liver, than the INDIAN BLOOD SYKUP. It soon brings the rose to the cheek and the lily to the confplexion, elasticity to the step, and brilliancy to the eye; and the patient feels like a newly made being. Have You Dyspepsia ? Does your food lie like a dead weight in your stomach, after eating 1 Does your food sonr on your stomach ? Do your sides trem- ble, and does your liQart palpitate after eat- ing? Is there difficulty in breathing? fleadache, dizziness, nervousness, bad breath, irritable temper, loes oi strength. If We have thought proper to name this any or all of those svmpto; healing compound INDIAN B L O C) D i conclude your stomach has !< ..-.; i BTKUr. There are no spirits employed in : carry the food out of the system. The gastric juice of tbe etomacb, which is n!6ced there to dissolve tbe food, has be- eome too Mjeak to doits work, consequently, the food lies in the stomach and ferments, giving rise to all the distressing symptoms above named. To cure dyspepsia in its many varied forms, we must first make the gastric juice_teufficiently strong to take hold on the food and dissolve it, as soon as it reaches the stomach. Phe SYRUP does this, and in ALL cases of dyspepsia, the SYRUP should he taken INSTANTLY AFTER eat- ing, before fermentation of tbe food has al- ready set in. The SYRUP taken at this time, BO increases the strength of the gastric juice, that no difficulty is experienced in dissolv- ing the food,and it SOON digests and passes out of the stomach. To every miserable dyspeptic I would say: buy a bottle of the SYRUP, and if you do not feel you have been benefited, then call upon the agent, and request him or her to refund it; {our agents are requested to do this in all caes where the parties claim they have not Den benefited.) Remember, dvspeptice should take the SYRUP INSTANTLY AFTER eating; before fermentation of the food has already set in, for it is EASIER TO PREVENT fermentation than to arrest it, after having begun. Put the SYRUP on the table, and as soon as you have finished your meals, take half a tea- spoonf al diluted in water; (do not take the SYRFP clear.) Blood Disease. No part or organ of our bodies can thrive on bad blood. \Ve take food in our bodies to neurish them, and after the nutritious parts of the food have served their purpose, ro making fat, muscle and blood, the refuse or unautritious part should be carried ofi through the bowels and through the kid- neys, and through the sweat of the skin. Sow, if tbe bowels are choked up, so that there be not an evacuation at least once each day, and, if the skin is not in a condi- tion to sweat, and the kidneys are not pass- ing off the watery parts of what has been eaten, then, indeed, is the person in a criti- cal condition; for, although the system may hold out for a while- under such disastrous circumstances, still it cannot endure in health, any considerable time, for every day that the waste part of the food is pent up in the system, the blood is becoming more and more poisoned. This poisoniner will soon show itself in pimples, swelling*, bloatings, rough skin, purple spots, blotches in the hair, moth patenes, and$4n any and every difficulty of the organs of the body, which are fed on this impure blood. If the heart be fed on this inrpure blood, it cannot thrive. If the lungs receive im- pure blood into them, they cannot thrive. If the liver be compelled to filter, month af- ter month, and year after year, poisonous substances, it will soon give ou1 ; and so we might say of each and every drgan of the Keep the fountain of blood pure, and there will be no difficulty with any organ or part of the body. (In eruptions, boils, sores, 4&e., the SYRTJP used externally a* well as to tern ally will be very useful.) Nervous Debility, Heart Disease, Scro- fula, Kidney Disease, and every other variety of disease, cannoi exist on pure blood. Bad blood makes tbese diseases; cleanse the blood and tbe disease will disappear. Rheumatism, arises from acid in the blood. The SYRUF will sweeten the blood and cleanse it, and thus carry off the disease. Worms, are caused by slime in the bowels; cleanse out tbe slime witfo the SYRUP, and tbe worms having lost their resting place, will soon follow; for they cannot thrive except among the slimy accumulations in the bow- els. Diseases of Females. The SYRUP regulates the female system in the most satisfactory manner. All the dis- eases to which females are subject, are speedily benefite by th use of the SYRUP. Sunken eyes, pale faces, hollow cheeks, dark circles under the eyes, are soon removed bj the use of the SYRUP. Ladies try one bottle; it will cost yoc nothing if not benefited. In cases of uloera- tion of the womb, and inflammation, an in- jection of the SYRUP somewhat diluted with water, will be found useful. It should, irt such cases be used with a female syringe, and its use continued internally as well a* locally. Fever and Ague. When the blood has become poisoned with the impure atmosphere of malarious districts nothing will more speedily purify it and sef it right than tbe INDIAN BLOOD SYRUP. Give it a trial and satisfy yourself of its effi- cacy in such difficulties. Kidney Diseases, Dropsy, &c., and many other difficulties are cured by tbe use of the SYRUP. If the wa,tery portions of our food are not passed off, they muwt, wheu retained in the system, produce serious dif- ficulties. Language fails when attempting to describe the sufferings of persons whose kidneys are out of order; gravel, back ache, inflammation :the bladder, and of the delicate membranes of the urinary organs are the result, if the water is not regularly and properly carried off through the kid- neys. The TRUP is effectual in promoting the secretion of the watery and unnutritioue portions of the food, and in carrying it off by its proper outlets. 'Whatever portion of our food is unservice- able should be passed off in the water, io the sweat, and from the bowels. It these useless matters are retained, disease is sure to follow, for then the blood becomes pois- oned with the imparities which should pas* off in their proper channels. The SYRUP is a powerful cleanser of the blood; it starts tho liver and kidneys into ac- tive operation, and acts on all the secretions of the body. It carries off old and foul ail- ments in the blood, which are slow audsnre death if permitted to remain in the system, j derful accounts and t^timoiiiais of what the - " % ' medicines advertised have done for A. B. or C, '1 do not propose to till up my pamphlet, with any such certificates, but rather prefer to urge every one to make a trial of ONE bot- tle when, if they feel that they have derived no ben- efit from its use the agent will refund the money and charge the loss to me. The amouiit of refunded money which I am called upon fro make good; is but a trine, for the medicine universally satisfies all who take it, and in nearly all cases, a person who has tried one bottle, instead of calling upon the agent for the money, are so well pleased with its effect, that they continue its use a lou gas necessary and recommend it to all their ailing friends. Any person who knows anything about BUS- INESS, must) see from this extraordinary manner of introducing the remedy, that our confidence in its bjealing virtues are un- bounded, and that our business could not long survive on this plan unless it was uni- versally successful. We are willing to take the risk for we know what the INDIAN BLOOD SYRUP has It will cost you nothing to try a bottle, if you are NOT benefited, for tbe agent is authoriz- ed to refund the price of the bottle if you are not sufficiently satisfied with its use to go on, or do not feel that you have received any benefit. My Manner of Introducing the Indian Blood Syrup may seem strange to many persons, and it may not be out >f place to give my reasons for introducing it through other means than the ordinary channels of trade. Druggists, as a general thing, have their shelves filled with remedies of various kinds. They have no particular interest in any sin- gle one, but will recommend and sell which- ever article they can make the most profit on. The pamphlets, which have cost money, they permit to get scattered about in their stores and thrown about in waste places, where they are not seen by the people who are afflicted. By this means the medicines sent to them fail to reach the public, and the introduction of the remedv is frustrated by I continue to do. the carelessness or indifference of the clerks of druggists. We do not object to supply druggists with the medicines, if they will be conscientious in the distribution of the pamphlets, and take an interest in the sale of the medicine; but we are sorry to say this case rarely occurs among druggists who have numberless articles for sale, in no sin- gle one of which they take any especial in- terest. By introducing the remedies through par- ties who are out of business and who need employment, we serve both the individual and the public. The agent sees that the pamphlets are not thrown about and de- stroyed, for he takes an interest in letting the people know what he is about, and also endeavors to make it profitable to himself by getting up a demand for the medicines among those who need it. In all cases where have an agent in a place, we desire the people to buy the medicine from them, and thus save the risk of sending money to us by mail. Special Notices.

CECONDA. "Warning- to Beware of all unstamped medicines Un- principled persons are flooding the country with spurious medicines that are not pro- perly stamped a required by law. Some of these medicines are not stamped at all, others are stamped with a smaller descrip- tion of stamp than required. Agents should see that a four cent stamp be upon all medi- cines thai sell for ne dollar, and that a two cent stamp be upon all medicines that sell for fifty cents. Ail agents who sell or offer for sale any medicines not fully stamped, do so in VIOLA- TION OF LAW, and are liable to a heavy tine or imprisonment. These parties who s windle the government, attempt to excuse their evasion of the law by stating that their medicines are not "proprietary articles." All such excuses are merely attempts to cheat the government and to lead their agent to believe that there is no danger in offering such medicines for sale. It is the duty of all Jaw-abiding citizens to see that medicines which are being of- fered for sale be properly stamped; and, if found unstamped or insufficiently stamped, the fact should be at once reported to the Assessor of the district, who will deal with the guilty parties according to law. If the Assessor neglects to perform his duty in the matter, it should then be reported to the Commissioner of Internal Kevenue, Wash- ington, D. C., who will at once take steps to compel the district Assessor to do his duty. CLARK JOHNSON, M. D., JERSKY CITY, N. J. Two than Half-Dollar Bottles Better $50 Worth of Medicine.
