NO EXCUSE FOR A BALD HEAD.
28)The following communication from
the Rev. Professor Eaton, of Hamilton
College, N. Y. in addition to hundreds
of others equally respectable, should re
move the doubts of every reasonable per
son of the. uniform and singular efficacy
of Jayne's Hair Tonic.
Hamilton, Feb. 15, 1840
DR. D JA YN E Dear Sir: I cannot
say my hair is restored, but I can siy
that it appears to be in as rapid a process
of restoration as could reasonably be ex
pected. I had not finished the first bot
tle, before a decided change was manifest
over the bald part of the head to which
it was applied. A new growth of fine
glossy hair, much like that of an infant's
appeared, and has continued to increase,
and I have had it cut two or three times.
I have recently commenced upon the 3d
bottle, but have been a good deal irrpgn
lar in the use of the Tonic from the first,
and from this cause I apprehend that the
effect is at present less than it ctherwtse
would have been.
I began the use of the Tonic with
little or no faith that it would ever be
successful on my head, though I felt en
tire confidence in your statements of
of what it Iit.d done to others, and I was
as mucli surprised as delighted, when I saw
the effect. You recollect the appear
ance of my head when in your office.
I assure you my hair have been nearly,
if not quite, an inch longer the times I
I have had them cut, on those "part
which were nearly destitute of any,
when you saw me. I was, however,
very fine, though quite thick. I am
flushed with sanguine hope of final suc
cess in the diligent use of your Tonic,
which (amidst all the hair humbugs
which have been advertised in the pa
pers,) I am constrained to believe is
what it claims to be, an that it will
make the hair grow, and no mistake at
least on some heads.

FLAME ENCIRCLED OVEN
COOKING- STOVE.
Hg'MIIS Stove combines all that is val
JL uable in existing Cooking Stoves
with certain improvements peculiar to
itself. It is constructed upon a new and
entirely distinct principle truly philo
sophical, so as to pass the flue entirely
round the oven, thus making it enveloped
or JIame encircled without impairing the
necessary draught of the stove. This
method of thus passing twice round,
once over and once under the oven, is the
secret of i:s great economy in the use of
fuel, while the enlargement of the air
chamber affords increased space for the
rarefaction of air and compensates for
the usual disadvantages of a circular
draught, It bakes, toasts, and boils,
easier and better lhan any Stove yet of
fered to the public, with the advantage
over most of them of saving one half the
fuel. It is superior to the "Queen of
,the West," "Buek's Patent," Eclipse"
or "Hathaways Patent," for the follow
ing reasons: In these Stoves the upper
side of the oven is dependant for heat
and can have from no other source than
what radiates through the plate on which
the fire is made. If the ashes be lifted
clean, too much heat will radiate and
burn the bread on the upper
side, if too much ashes be left, the bread
will not bake on the upper side. Of this
defect all good cooks complain. This
Stove is entirely free of this objection,
the oven always heating exactly alike
top and bottom, and ends. Many buy
the Premium or step stove and others of
similar model. These Stoves consume
much fuel, for first the fire chamber is
too deep, the pots &c, are too high a
bove the fire. Second when using the
oven, all the heal which passes off under
the oven being one ha'f, never comes in
contact with the boiling utensils, passesoff
into the pipe and is lost. Also our Stove
is so arranged with a bank or elevation
in the fire chamber as to ensure the use
of the flame upon the forward part of
the Stove first, and it then passes back
afterward heating all alike whereas
Stoves like the Hathaway, having one
vest chamber, allow too wide a range
for the flame without suffcient concen
tration. We manufacture two sizes of this
Stove at theEagle Foundry in BerlinSom

most of the pots commonly . used in the

HOTEL, fon INVALIDS
AT PITTSBURGH.
Drs, Speor and Euhn.
THE object of this establishment is
to supply a want greatly felt by re
spectable travellers on our western high
ways by residents, without family, ta
ken sick and by patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
to this place for relief Irom surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the want of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
to the sick, and from careiess and un
faithful nurses; and been subjected to
heavy and unreasonable charges.
Invalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable atten
dance, snd at a rate much below the usu
al charges.
While the care of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
it is intended by Dr. Speer, to give spe
cial attention to
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULARLY TO
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
"To these branches of his profession
he has given a large share of his atten
ion for the last twenty-five years, and
he will continue to devote to them the
experience acquired by a constant prac
tice during that time.
The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper
iment. Its establishment is suggested
not only as necrssnry to supply an evi
dent want in this city, in the entire ab
sence of any special provision for the
sick, bat is warranted also by the success
ol similar institutions at Cincinnati and
New Orleans the former under the care
of Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Strader
the latter under that of Dr. Stone.
The building selected for the purpose
is situated at the ccrner of Federal and
Robinson streets, in Allegheny city, ad
joining the city of Pittsburgh. It is
commodious and roomy, anJ furnished
with all accommodations necessary for
he sick.
Applications for admission to be made

Mr. Joseph L. Younglove Sir r
As a duty I owe to the community,
and particularly to the afflcted, I would
state that I had been for a number of
years laboring under disease and weak
ness of the lungs, which caused me to
cough a great deal, fe produced a conse
quent debility of my system geuerally,
to such a degree that it was with difi
culty I could walk, to do which even for
a short distance, experienced great fa
tigue. I had various medicines recom
mended to me, which I used without any
beneficial effects whatever, until I pro
cured a boftle of Wistar'a Balsam ofU'ild
Cherry. The use of one bottle afforded
relief, entirely relieving me of couch,
and restoring my lungs to healthy action.
The use of it Tor a short time increased
ray general health and strength to such
an extent, mat I was stronger and more
healty than I had been for years before.
From the trial I have made of the medi
cine, I can confidently recommend it as a
powerful "Tonic" a certain cure lor af
fectious of the lungs, unless it may be in
a case of consumption, obstinate and of

ANOTHER INVALID RESTORED
TO HEALTH.
Read the following statement of facts
from Mr, E, Baily, a highly respecta
ble merchant of Vienna, Johnson coun
ty, Illinois,
Messrs Phelps & Blakeley, St,
Louis, Mo,
Gentlemen. A desire to benefit the
afllcted throughout the land has alone
induced me to make the following state
ment of facts respecting one of
the most astonishing cures ever re
corded, My son, now 17 years
old, has been afflicted during his whole
life with a constant cough, pain in the
side and chest, accompanied with night
sweats and hectic fever, which produced
great emaciation and debility; and at in
night his first expec
toration would become so grpat as to en
danger his life from strangulation. Du
ring this time he was attended by many
physicians of the highest repute, whose
prescriptions gave but temporary relief
in fact so alarming were the symtoms
and so inveterate was his disease, that I
was compelled to believe him beyond
the reach of medical aid. All our neigh
bors and friends who saw him, regarded
him as one who was rapidly approach
ing the grave. After having thus ex
hausted the skill of our best physicians,
without obtaining relief, I was prevailed
upon by the advice of a friend to make
use of WisUr'g Balsam of ff 'ild Cher'
r!-
He commenced its use about the 30th
of December, 1941, the first bottle of
which gave astonishing relief, and begarv
?gain indulge in the fond hope that he
might yet be restored to health.
After having continued the use of it
until 3 bottles had been taken, the dis
ease was entirely removed and his shat
tered constitution and emaciated form
restored to sound and permanent health
which he continues to enjoy up to tho
present time.
1 believe the genuine Dr. Wistars Bal
sam or Wild Cherry to be one' of the'
most valuable medicines ever discovered
knowing, as I do, that the above- cure
was elfectcd solely by its use.
