before known of any 1 Medicine.
INVALIDS, READ AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES
JULES HAUEL, E*q.. the well known perflimen of
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, whose, choiee products
are found at almost ever}’ toilet, says:
“I am happy to say of your Cathabtic Pills, that 1
hare found them a better family medicine, for common
use, than any other within my knowledge. Many of my
friends have realized marked benefits from them, and co
incide with me in believing that they possess extraordinary
virtues for driving out disea>es and curing the sick. They
are not only effectual, but safe and pleasant to be taken
qualities which must make them valued by the public
when they are known.”
The venerable Chancellor WARDLAW writes from Bal
timore, 15th April, 1854:
“ Dn. J.C. Atcr Sir: 1 have taken vour PHla with
ereni benefit, for die listlessnesa, languor, loss of appetite,
and Bilious headache, which has of late years overtaken
me in the spring. A few doses of your Pills cured me. I
have u*ed vour Cherry Pectoral many yean in my family
for rough*'and colds with unfailing success. Too make
medicines which cure; and 1 feel it a pleasure to commend
you lor the good you have done and are doing.”
JOHN F. BEATTY, Esq., Sec. of the Penn. Railroad Co.,
nays
lt ~pa. R. R. Office , Philadelphia , Dee. 13, 1853.
Sir: 1 lake pleasure in adding my testimony to the
•fficarv of votir medicines, having denved very material
benefit from the use of both your Pectoral and Cathartic
Pills. lam never without them in my family,nor shall 1
ever r.mi-eiit to lie, while my means will procure them.”
The wiileh' renowned S. S. STEVENB, M. D., of Went-
worth, N. 11., writes:
“ flavine used your Cathartic Pills in my practice, I
certify from experience that they are an invaluable purga
tive. In rases of disordered functions of the liver, causing
headache, indigestion, cnsiiveness, and the great variety
of diseases that follow, they are a surer remedy than any
other. In all rases whore a purgative remedy te required,
I confidently recommend these Pills to the public, as
superior to any other 1 have ever found. They are sure
ir their operation, atitj perfectly safe qualities which
make tli**m an invaluable article for public use. I have
for many years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best
Couiih Medicine in the world; and these Pills "are in no
wise inferior to that admirable preparation for the treat
ment of diseases ”
“ Acton, Me., Nov. 25, 1853.
“ Dr. J. 0. Avis- Dear Sir: l have been afflicted from
my birth with >r.rofula in its worst form, and now, after
twenty years’ trial, and an untold of amount of suffering,
have been completely cured in a few weeks by your Pills.
With what feelings of rejoicing I write can only be
imagined when you realize what I have suffered, and how
until now have I bken free from this loathsome
dtaea«e iu some shape. At times it attacked my eyes, and
made me almost blind, besides the unendurable pain ; at
others it settled in the scalp of my head, and destroyed my
hair, and has kept me partly bald all my days; sometimes
it came out in my face, and kept it for uumtlis a raw sore
“About nine weekß ago I commenced taking your Ca
thartic Pillejuid now am entirely free from the complaint.
My eyes are well*, my skin is fair, ami my hair has com
menced a healthy growth; all of which makes me feel
already a new person.
“ Honing this statement may be the means of conveying
information that shall do good to othere, I am, with every
of snuitude, KICKER.”
i have known the above named Maria Ricker from
her childhood, and her statement is strictly true.
’ i ANDREW J. MESERVE,
Overseer of the Portsmouth Manufacturing Co.”
Cart. JOEL PRATT, of the ship Marion, writes from
Boston, 20ih April, 1854:
“ Your Pills have cured me from a bilious attack which
arose from derangement of the which had become
very serious. I bad failed of any relief by my Physician,
and from every remedy I could try ; but a few doses of
your Pills have completely restored me to health. I have
given them to my children for worms, with the best ef
fects They were promptly cured. I recommended them
to a friend for costiveness, which had troubled him for
months; he told tne in a few days they had cured him.
You make the best medicine in the world ; and I am free
to say so.”
Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the Bupreme
Court, whose brilliant abilities have made him well
known, not only in this but the neighboring Stales.
“AVu> Onlearu, 5iA April, 1854.
“Sir: I have great satisfaction lu assuring you tlhu
myself and family have been very much benefited by your
medicines. My wife was cured, two years since, of a se
vere and dangerous cough, by your Cherrv Pectoral,
and since then has enjoyed perfect health. My children
have several times been cured from attacks of the Intiu
euza and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for
these complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have entirely
cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness, which has
grown upon me for some vears, indeed, this cure is
much more important, from the fact that I had failed to
get relief from the best Physicians which this section of
the country affords, and from any of the numerous reme
dies l bad taken. , ~ L 1
“You seem to us, Doctor, like a providential blessing
to our family, and you may well suppose we are uoi un
mindful of it. Yours respectfully,
LEAVITT TIIAXTER.”

“ Da. J. C. Ater— Honored Sir: 1 have made a thor
ough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by your agent,
ana have been cured by them of the dreadful Rheumatism
under which fie found mo suffering. The first dose re
lieved me, and a few subsequent doses have entirely
removed the disease. I feel in better health now than for
some years before, which I attribute entirely to the effects
of vour Cathartic Pill*. Yours with great respect,

J. R. STAFFORD’S OLIVE TAR.
A GREAT ELECTRICAL REMEDY Full PREVENTING
AND CURING ALL DISEASES OF THE
THROAT AND LUNGS.
Olive Tar is Applied dnd Inhaled, and is not Taken.
DIRECTIONS.—AppIy .by rubbing when; pain or disease
exists: then cover the parts with a piaster made of oiled
Silk, to which stitch a thin layer of cotton batting; then
cover the batting with thin muslin. Cotton-or woollen
flannel may be used instead of the oiled silk plaster, but
tho operations of) the remedy will not be as speedy, uur as
effective.
FOR. Inhaling.—Place a saucer over a bowl of hot water,
(and keep it hot;) pour into the saucer enough Olive Tar
to cover the bottom: the apartment will soon he filled with
tta odor, affording to the patient an atmosphere impregna
ted with the delightful blended aroma of
The Olive anti of the Pine.
Renew the Olive Tar daily for luhtdiug b) the above
method.
Another Method of Inhaling is to put Olive Tar on the
Oiled Silk Plaster, which being worn upon the chest, the
heat of the bodywill cause the Olive Tar to evaporate grad
imlly, and as it rises it will be inhaled. The Oiled Silk
Plaster should be medicated with fresh Olive Tar every
other day. In acute cases, or in those of long standing,
both of the above'luethods of inhalation should be used.
By adhering to the above direction, the very worst forms ;
of diseases of the Throat or Lungs. if not speedily cored. ,
will be greatly relieved; while temporary Colds, Sore
Throats, Inflamed Lungs, Catarrh, Croup Coughs, Ac.. Ac.,
will yield at once to its combined curative powers.
STAFFORD’S OLcVE TAR softens and penetrates the '
skin: therefore in all all Chronic or active Inflammations
it will be found highly beneficial, as it acts directly upon ■
the Nerves, the Muscles and the Joints.
OLIVE TAR OINTMENT is made by mixing Olivo Tar i
and Mutton Tallow in equal parts. This Oiutment is a j
positive cure for all diseases of the skin. i
4®- Pain cannot exist whore Olive Tar or Olive Ointment :
Is applied.
STAFFORD’S OLIVE TAR does not contain any mineral i
substances, nor any poisonous drug: the principal ingredi
ents are Pitch Pine Tar. and Oil of the Spanish Olive.
STAFFORD’S OLIVE TAR is manufactured by a process
recently patented by Mr. J. R. Stafford. Practical Chemist,
by which process all the Acid and Acrid properties con
tained in the substances forming this Compound are sepa
rated without the use of Chemicals.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the
Age.
Dr. KENNEDY, of Roxbury has discovered, In one of our
common pasture weeds, a remedy that cures
EVERY KIND OE HUMOR,
from the worst Scrofula down to a common pimple.
Be has tried It in over 1100 cases, and never failed except j
in two cases, (both thunder humor.) He has now in his j
possession over two hundred certificates of its virtue, all j
within twenty miles of Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing sore mouth. :
One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of Pimples
on the face.
Two to three bottles will clear the system of Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst, canker in j
the mouth or stomach.
• Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst case ;
of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted to cure all humor in
the Eyes. . ,
Two bottles are warranted to cure running of the ears
and blotches among the hair.
Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and
running ulSers.
One bottle will cure scaly corruption of the skin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst
case of ringworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most des
perate case of rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the salt
rheum. , . .
Eive to eight bottles will cure the worst case of scrofula.
A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and
a perfect cure is warranted when the above quantity is
taken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand l>ottles of this in the
vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of it in ever}' ease.—
So sure as water will extinguish fire, so sure will this
cure humor. I never sold a bottle of it, but that sold an
other; after a trial it always speak for itself. There are
two things about this herb that appear to me surprising ;
first that it grows in our pastures,* in some plat es quite
plentiful, and vet its value has uever been known until I
discovered it in 1846—second that it should cure all kinds
of humor. , ,
In order to give some idea of the sudden nse, and great
popularity of the discovery. I will state that in April, 1
1853,1 peddled |it and sold about six bottles per day—in I
April 1854, I sold over one thousand bottles per duy of it- i
Some of the wholesale Druggirts who have been in the
.business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing iu the |
annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a
- universal praise of it from all quarters. _ I
In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors !
—but since its introduction as a general family medicine
great and wonderful virtues have been found iu it that I
never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was al
ways considered incurable, have been cured by a few bot
tles. 0, what a mercy if it prove effectual in all cases of
that awful malady—there are’but few who have seen mor
of it than I have.
I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged peo
ple cured by it. For the various diseases of the Liver, Sick
Headache. Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague, I’ain in
the side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly in diseases
of the Kidneys, &c., the discovery has done more good than
any medicine ever known.
No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you get
and enough of it.
Directions For Use. —Adults one tablespoonful per day
—Children over ten yea/a dessert spoonful. Children
from five to eight years, tea spoonful. As no direc
tion* can be applicable to all constitutions, take sufficient
to operate on the bowels twi«j a day.

TONICS WON’T DO !—They never did do more
than give temporary relief and they never will. It is
because they dou't touch the cause of the disease. The
cause-of all ague and billious diseases is the atmospheric
poison called Miasma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
its Natural Antidote, and all disease caused by it disap
pears at once. Rhodes’ Fever aud Ague Cure is this Anti
dote to Malaria, and moreover it is a perfectly harmless
medicine. The certificate of the celebrated chemist, J. R.
Chilton, of New York, to this effect, is attached to every
bottle; therefore if it does no good it can do no harm.
This is more than can be said of Quinine, Arsenic, orauy
tonic iu existence, as their use is ruinous to the constitu
tion and brings on Dumb Ague, which never allows a per
son to feel perfectly well for a single moment. In illustra
tion of these truths I annex some extracts Irom a letter
just received irom a Physician :
Georgetown. Ohio.-Maqch 18,1856.
JA9. A. RHODES, Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours of 2d inst. is |
at hand. The Cure arrived late last year and the difficulty :
in getting any one to try it was greatly increased from the
the fact that a remedyiad been introduced which was ■
growing In favor with the public, as being better than using >
Quinine,—not knowirfg I presume that the remedy they:
used to escape taking Quinine, contained the Drug Itself! ;
This remedy, {known as -Smith’s Tonic,”) would invari-;
bly break an Ague, but it did not cure it, as it would often ;
return with renewed vigor. This one circumstance I deem-,
ed in your favor, if I could institute a test comparison be-;
tween it and your cure. The following is the result:
Three persons took your “Cure,” all of which were cases
of-Quotidianlntermitteut Fever,” ofmnay weeks standing
They had tried Quiuiue, and other remedies, occasionally
missing a chill, but it was. (as in all such cases.) slowly
wearing them out, and laying the foundation for other and
severer maladies. I did succeed in effecting a radical cure
of all three of these cases with your remedy, and they have
not had a chill since. Iu all three of these cases the
“Smith's Tonic” had been used, and would, as before sta
ted, break the chill, hut after a period or two had-olapsed
would return. ,' '
I think there will be no difficulty now in giving to your
“Cure” the advantage ground of any other remedy now in:
use here, A.. Ac. WILLIAM BUCKNER, M. D.
Rhode’s Fever and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria,
the only harmless remedy in existence, is equally certain'
as a preventive, as a “|Cure.” Take it when you feel the :
chills coming, and you will never have a single one.

' WTT.RfIR'S COMPOUND OP ”
PURE COD LIVER
AND LIME.^
A Cure for Consumption, Coughs, Colds Asthma, Bron-!
chitis, General Debility and Scrofulous Humors.
HAVE YOU TRIED IT.—This important question should:
be asked every invalid who is suffering from pulmonary,
troubles in this fickle climate. Have you trted WILBOR’S
COMPOUND OF COD LIVER OIL AND LIME? It will;
uot nauseate like the plain Oil, but is ou the contrary,’
pleasant to the taste; moreover the Phosphate of Lime is,,
in this combination, a most remarkable aid to the healing
properties of the pure Cod Liver Oil, as the following cer
tificates (selected from a host of like great acknowledg
ments) will amply show. No person should neglect for &•
single hour a cough, or any affection of the lungs, lest the|
moßt serious consequences follow. Dr. Wilboris prepare--
tion is both simple, and sure in all ordinary cases, and!
has performed some surprising cures in decided consump-,
tion, where other medical aid has failed: —
Dr. Wilbor: —During nearly the whole of the past win
ter,. I had suffered seriously with a cough, which bo irrita-:
ted my lungs, that my physician frankly admitted his feari
of consumption’s following this trouble as the Spring
weather set in. ■ Medicine seemed to afford me little relief
until I tried your preparation of Ood Liver Oil and Llme. :
The effect 1 am forced by facta to admit, was almost magi-!
cal, and I have the pleasure of saying at this writing, (May!
2d, 1852) 1 am entirely free from aDy pulmonary trouble.!
With thankß to you for your valuable discovery, I cordi
ally recommend it to those who are thus afflicted: -
MARTIN C. HURD, |

Ood Liver Oil, but can be taken with pleasure by the most
delicate females. ; \

J REPORT OF THE COUNTY AUDITORS.
Wej the undersigned, Auditors of Lancaster County,
do certify, that we have carefully examined the forego
ing account of Charles M. Howell, Esq., Treasurer of
said County, and have compared his vouchers, with the
same,'and find there is a balance in his hands of five
thousand, on e hundred and twenty-eight dollars and
seventy-nine cents, ($5125,79.)
In yiew of our recommendation In last year’s Report,
relating to outstanding taxes, it appears Collectors have
become still more negligent in collecting or paying over
to the Treasurer the outstanding amounts in their sev
eral duplicates. They should be more prompt in their
payments, and we would, therefore, respectfully re
commend, that the County Commissioners urge speedy
settlement by all delinquent Collectors.
We have examined the account of Hugh S. Gara, Esq l .,
Treasurer of the Board of Prison Inspectors, and find it
correct, showing a balance due him by the board of In
spectors of six hundred and fifty-seven dollars and sev
enty-six cents, ($657,76.)
We also examined the account of James Dysart, Esq.,
Treasurer of the Poor and House of Employment of
Lancaster County, and find a balance in his hands of
two hundred and thirty-seven dollars and seventy-seven
cents, ($237,77.)
The' liabilities of the County for loans from individual
at 6jper cent, per annum, at the present time, are
sl4o|ooo.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands
at the County Commissioners’ Office, this 23rd day
'January, 1857
