Why he wants a dose of “cash down" but can t
get it. The doctor thinks he’s only playing “raake
lieiievc,” and don’t need snch a powerful remedy
vet awhile. In the meantime his brethren of the
quill have volunteered to prescribe for him. If
they don’t effect a cure in less than a year, the
doctor might lie prevailed upon to give him a
slight dose.
A Cabtion.— The public are cautioned against
« piece of villainy, by which the operator cuts the
i tiupons off the #5O 7-30 treasury notes, and passes
tho note as a demand note in trade, thus pocketing
$10,95, the amount of the coupons for three years,
which he may collect half-yearly upon presenting
them at the Government offices. Traders should
bear in mind that there are no $5O demand notes,
only ffis, slos and s2os.— Peterson's Counterfeit

friends and patrons and the public in general, that
he has rr moved to No. 7 Mam St. a few doors
above bis old stand.
J would just remark, in this connection that I .
feel justly proud 40 having been ami/ieUed to seek
for menu extended and ample accommodations, my
old stand having become entirely too small to ac
my vast and constantly increasing
business. I therefore had a new place of business
fitted up at considerable expense, in city style, espe
cially adapted to the news, periodical, book, sta
tionery and- Variety business, I have laid in a
large stock of new goods, such as Peterson's new
publications, in great variety, Toy Books, Dolls,
Tops, Marbles, Balls, Jumping Hopes, in short a
general variety of Toys, and Notions for Children,
suited to the season. \
I hereby return my sincere thanks to my nu
merous friends and Customers of Altoona and vi
cinity, for their very liberal patronage since I have
been in this place. When I started business here,
some five years ago, rwas poor, veiy poor, having
to borrow money to begin with. But having en
tered into a new experiment, I was determined to
succeed, and by persevering industry, and constant
applicationto business, I may sately assert (without
fear df being considered egotistical) that I have
succeeded beyond my most sanguine expectations.

We take pleasure in announcing to “all the world and the rest of mankind," that we now have
all the appliances of a first class job printing office, superior to imuiy and equal to the majority of the
offices of the same kind in the cities, consequently we are enabled to execute work in as good style,
at eqiinl rates, and with the same despatch as our city cotemporaries. We believe that "some things
jean be done as well as othera," and that country priatera can do just us good work as city printers,
when thev have the material and presses. These we have, aud all we.nsk is a trial.
. Above we present an engraving of a large Power-Press, recently udded to our establishment, on
: which we can print books, posters, handbills, &c., of any size, in the very best style and in any quaii
tity, at short notice. ■ • , , . , ,
We have also a smaller, hut equally fast, Power-Press for executing cards, circulars, bdl-heads,
cards on envelopes, invitation, -vising and wedding cards, ball tickets and everything in that line.
In addition to the above, we have one of Hickok's Patent Biding Machines, on which weareena-
I hied to get up blank work of every’ description, such as check rolls, manifests, reports, bill-heads,
day books, ledgers, journals, dockets, assessment blanks, and everything in the line of rule work, in
a style equal to any city office, and af city prices. . .
Our office is stocked with an excellent assortment of job type, suitable for any style of printing,
and we intend to keep constantly on hand a large supply of paper and cards of aU qualities and colors,
and be able to give the patrons of-the “Tribune” job printing establishment just what they want,
even if they don’t know that themselves. , '

AFwWqeds to Cash BinqißS.—The “Pan
ic Store'* being the only one in this section of the j
State that sells exclusively for cash, anil at cash
prices, the proprietor wishes to impress a few tacts
and figures upon the niifßls of cash buyers ;
Ist, That he has but one price on his goods, and
that price only five jier cent, advance on cost.
2d, That by doing a strictly cash business he
can and does sell cheaper than any house which
does a credit, because, Ist, parties buying at n
credit store, ev en though they pay cash for their
purchases, pay credit priced for the reason that
the proprietors of credit stores are afraid to sell to
cash customers at lower figures than they do to
their credit customers, lest their credit customers
should find it out and withdraw their patronage;
and, because 2d, by selling for cash only ho gets
no bad accounts on his liooks and loses no nioncj,
consequently he is not compelled to tax paying
customers to make up his losses on non-paying
ones. . ..
3d. Tor proof of these assertions he relers to
the following figures:

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Miutaet Uniforms.—There is, perhaps, no department
of military business in which there has been a more
marked improvement than in the clothing of soldiers.—
>’ot many years sinCe, officers and privates were clad in
garments which yefe almost skin-tight. They wore leather
stocks, which were worthy of the name, for they kept the
wearer in tribulation; while their padded breasts and
tight sleeves made volition a matter of great difficulty.
During the present war, such of our volunteers as pro-
I cure their uniforms at the JJrown Stone (Nothing Dali of

substantial and becoming. The firm named hrvo gone
largely into the business of making Military Clothing,
and their facilities enable them to fill the largest orders in
the shortest possible time.
A Card to the Suffering,
The Rev, Wn». Cosgrove, while laboring as a missionary
in Japan, was cured of Consumption, when all other means
had failed, by a recipe obtained from a learned physician
residing lu ttie greil city if Joddo. This recipe has cured
' great numbers who were suffering from .Consumption,
Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Coughs and Colds, and the debility
and nervous depression caused by these disorders.
Desirous of benefiting others, 1 will send this recipe,
which I brought home with to all who need it, free of'
charge. Address

article, gradually changing the vitiated secretion! of the
Stomach pod Liver, and producing healthy action in those
important organa. In cases of lung standing, a cun will
be mon speedily effected by using, in conjunction with the
Pills, either JAYNE’S ALTERATIVE or TONIC VER
MIFUGE. according to directions.
For Liver Complaint, Gout, Jaundice, Affections of the
Bladder ami Kidneys, Fevers, Nervousness, Diseases of the
Skin, Imparity of the Bhmd, Sik Headache, Cootiveness,
Piles, Female Diseases, and Billions Affections, these Pills
have proved themselves eminently successful. AM that i*
asked for them is a fair trial.
As these Pills have proved themselves so eminetly sue
cessful in removing diseases of the Liver, Dyspepsia and
diseases of the Skin, 1 have thought it advisable to add tin
following remarks on
LIVER COMPLAINT.
This is a disease much talked about, but at Ike W—*
time very imperfectly uuderstpod.
Properly speaking, every derangement of the Liver or
Billions system is a Liver Complaint) but the peculiar state
of .the Liver to which I Uow have reference Is a Ctresfe
Affection, and usually arises from a torpid or congestive
state of that important organ. Sometimes the bile Is.de
ficient in quantity, or vitiated in quality* or both these
states prevail at the same time. Sometimes the disease is
owing to obstruction in the duct or pipe which conveys
the bile from the liver Into the bowels. This obstruction
is very frequent, and Is usually caused by'the pipe being
clogged up by thick tenacious slime or mucous, and some
times by gall-stones. The bile is than thrown back into
the gallbladder, whore it Is absorbed by numerous small
vessels which convey it into the Thoracic Poet, a pip*
that runs up along the spine, and terminates in and emp
ties itself into the Urge vein of the loft* shoulder, near its
juuctl n with the veins of the head and neck, and thence
the bile is conveyed to the heart and becomes mixed with
the blood. The bile in this manner being diverted from
its proper course, and circulating in a pari o'the body
where it never was designed by nature, produces muck evil,
and often disastrous effects upon the health of the indi
vidual—because, tor want of healthy bile to mix with the
half-digested food, a complete separation never takes pUos
between the ebyle (the milky liquor which forms the
blood) and those portions of the food designed by nature
to be ejected from the bowels—for-the bile, when present,
purifies and separates the healthy from the unhealthy por
tions, in the same manner that isinglass or white of eggs
separate wiuu or cider from their impurities—and, conse
quently. the very fountain of life is vitiated and corrupted.
Costiveness prevails—or alternately costiveness or diar
rhoea—wind iu the stomach and bowels, and the patient is
often annoyed with worms, and frequently with the piles.
The coarse particles of the bile thus mixed with the blood,
more or less obstruct the pores of the skin and small blood
vessels. and hence give rise to various direases of the skin,
such as erysipelas, cosema, itebiugs, small watery vessels,
blotchcss tumors, pimples, scurflnesa, boils, sore eyes, sores
and ulcers of various kinds. The skin is more'or less
yellow, and (when the disease is of long standing,) often
very dart,and has a disagreeable, dirty, creasy appearance.
and sometimes there is a perfect jaundice. The tektfoof
the eyes also has a green or yellow tinge.
MORE OR LESS bilc is strained from the blood in its
passage through the kidneys, and, by Us acrimony, pro
duces pains in the back, and scalds and irritates all the
urinary passages. Some days the passage of urinaispr*-
fuse, and natural in appearance; at other times it is scanty,
and the desire to evacuate 2s frequent and urgent. Some
times the color is nearly white and milky, but usually it is
high colored, red or yellow, with a funk, offensive odor
aud sometimes it is bloody, ,
The tongue la usually more or less coated with'a brown
scurf; There is irritation, and frequently chronic inflam
mation of the inner surface' of the stomach and bowels,
with a tenderness on pressure, and a soreness along the
lower edge of the ribs. 4 '
SOMETIMES THERE IS A LOATHING of food, and at
other times there is a voracious appetite. There hr ofrsh a
feeling of chilliness, and coldness of the feet aud knees,
and along the inside of the thighs—sour or bitter eructa
tions, and sometimes a spitting or throwing up of the food
after eating.
There Is a feeling of oppression across the stomach aud
. chest, as if pressed down by a weight; troublesome and
“ often frightful dreams, low spirits, languor, want of ener
i gy, melancholy restlessness aud diaconteutedness, dreami
ness of mind—timorousness and a great dealof trouble,
and a disposition to magnify everything, sometimis grest
watchfnllness aud an inability to sleep—at others great
drowsiness, weariness, and disinclination to motion.
AT TIMES THE FACE is flashed, with morn of lew
fever, especially at night or in the afternoon. Sometimes
violent colics, and wandering pains in various parts of the
body. Frequently there is a short backing cough, with a
huskincss of the throat, and sometimes a vSry severe, dry,
and bard cough, which Is often mistaken for consumption.
This cough often commences in the latter part AT the bight
or early In the morning, pnd lasts for hours, frequently
producing nausea and vomiting. If there be any expecto
ration, it is a tough, ropy, tenacious phlegm, wkkh ad
heres to everything it touches. Jheri are also frequently
chronic pleurisy pains In various parts of the chest, which
shift about from one part of the breast or side totheothev.
Sometimes abscesses form in tbs liver, and priming up
ward on the lungs, produce constriction and cough, and
breaking, discharge theif contents into the lungs, whence
it must be ejected by expectoration, or the patient is de
stroyed. Some persons are troubled vritk SJwSßOdic
twitches in various parts of the body, sometimes fointnesa
and sighing, difficulty of breathing; reading or. talking
producing weariness. THERE 18 A BEAtTNQ SENSA
TION the pit of the stomach, with palpitation and
fluttering of the heart; profusion ' of dandruff im lots of
the hair; Indeed, to sum up in a few Words—aysllew,
dirty, greasy appearance of the skin, a yellow nr given
tinge of the white of the eyes, an aching laiQ
kidneys aud hips, with irritation or heat in iHnnwrging
urine— a sensation of fullness or distension awos* the ab
domen, with tenderness on pressure— lowness of spirits,
frightful dreams, acidity of stomach,' with other dyspeptic
symptoms, billions fevers, billions colics and diar
rhoea and dysenteries, obstinate costlvensci, isteipitfeßt
and remittent fevers. Jaundice, fever and. ague, Ac- all
originate from th* same cause— a; dcmngedstaU <tr the
Uver. Violent remedies always do more huffs good;
but, by a persevering use of these pffls.ali’ tlat can be
desired will bo accomplished. * -
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT is to givetfce
patient, every night on going to bed, from two four fltna
live pflls; or enough of them to insure oneanduot more
than two evacuations from the bowels next Boning.—
The dose of tbo Pills can be increased or diminished at
pleasure, so as to produce the above effect, and their use
should be continued untile, cnire te completed; and alba,
at the same time give the Alterative three timCs a day
according to the directions, unices there ti a want of appe
tite. with weakness and deblUty or symptoms hf wOrfos
prevail, when, instead of the Alterative, give a SeaapoOnfat
of the Yermiftage, (mixed in a little coid wp4»r aausweet
ened to please the taste, about half an hour' before each
meal,until thepe symptoms are removed; and if there
should be cough, or oppression about the throat or cheat,
then give the expectorant as often and in such doses as
may be found necessary to quiet the congh and nuke ex
