INVALIDS, READ AND JUDGE FOR TOURBELVEBL
JULES HAUEL, Eiq., tbe well known perfiimer, of
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, whose choice product*
are found at almost every toilet, says:
“ I am happv to say of your Cathxbtic Pill*, that 1
have found them a better family medicine, for common
use, than 'any other within my knowledge. Many of my
friend* have realized marked benefits from them, and co
incidc with me in believing that they possess extraordinary
virtues for driving out diseases and curing the tick. 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, ISth April, 1854:
“ Dr. j. C. Atkh —Pir: 1 have taken your Pflle with
great benefit, for the listleasness, languor, loss of appetite,
nnd Bilious headache, which has of late yean overtaken
me in the spring. A few doses of your Pills cured me. I
have used your Cherry Pectoral many yean in my family
for coughs and colds with unfailing success. You make
medicines which cure ; and I feel it a pleasure to commend
you for tile good you have done and are doing.”
JOHN F. BEATTY, Es*., Sec. of the Penn. Railroad Co.,
nays
Pa. R. R. Office, Philadelphia, Dec. 13, 1853.
“ Sir: I take pleasure in adding my testimony to the
efficacy of your medicines, having derived very material
benefit from the use of both your Pectoral and Cathartic
Pill*. [am never without them in my family, nor shall I
ever eminent to be, while my means will procure them.”
The widei^Srenowned S. S. STEVENS, M. D., of Went
worth, N.Wvrtvrites:
“Having used your Cathartic Pills in my practice, I
certify from experience tint they are an invaluaole purga
tive. In canes of disordered functions of the liver, causing
headache, indigesi ion, costiveness, and the great variety
of diseases that follow, they are a 6Urer remedy than any
other. In all casen where a purgative remedy is required,
1 confidently recommend these Pills to the public, as
superior to any other I have ever found. They are sure
ir their operation, and perfectly safe qualities which
make them aii invaluable article for public use. I have
for many years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best
Cough medicine in the world ; and these Pills are In no
wise inferior to that admirable preparation for the treat
ment of diseases.”
“ JJeton, Me., Nov. 525, 1853.
“ Dr. J. C. Ayer Dear Sir: I have heen afflicted from
my birtli with >cn>fnla in its worst form, and now. after
twenty year.-' 1 trial, and an untold of amount of fullering,
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
long. 5
“ Never until now have I been freefrom this loathsome
disease in Home shape. At times it attacked my eyes, and
made me almost blind, besides the unendurable paift ; at
others it settled in the scalp of iny 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 months a raw sore
“About nine weeks ago I commenced taking your Ca
thartic Pills, and now am entirely free from the complaint
My eyes are well, my skin is fair, and my hair has com
menced a healthy growth; all of which makes me feel
already a new person.
“ Hoping this statement may be the means of conveying
Information that shall do good to others, I am, with every
sentiment of gratitude, Yours, ice.,
MARIA RICKER.”
“ I have known the above named Maria Ricker from
her childhood, and her statement is strictly true:
ANDREW J. MESERVE,
Overseer of the Portsmouth Manufacturing Co.”
Cart. JOEL PRATT, of the ship Marion, writes from
Boston, 20th April, 1854:
“ Your Pills have cured me from a bilious attack which
arose from derangement of .the Liver,: which had become
very serious. I had 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 me in a few days they had cured him.
You make the best medicine in the worid ; and I am free
to say so.”
Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the Supreme
Court, whose brilliant abilities have made him well
known, not only in this but the neighboring States.
“ JV*eu» Owleanj, 5tA April, 1854.
“ Sir: I have great satisfaction In assuring you that
myself and family have been very much benefited by your
medicines. My wife was cured, two years since, of a se
ver* and dangerous cough, by your Chzrrt Pectoral,
and since then has enjoyed perfect health. My children
have several times been cured from attacks of*the Influ
enza and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for
these complaints. Your Cathartic Pill* have entirely
cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness, which has
grown upon me for some years,— indeed, tbiß cure is
musb 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 1 bad taken.
“You seem to us, Doctor, like a providential blessing
to our family, and you may well suppose we are not un
-mindful of it. Yours respectfully,
LEAVITT THAXTEIL”
“ Senate Chamber, Ohio, J3pril sth, 1854.
“ Da. J. C. Aver Honored Sir: I have made a thor
ough trial of the Cathartic Pill*, left me by your agent,
ana have been cured by them of the dreadful Rheumatism
under which he found me 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 your Cathartic Pill*. Yoursnvith great respect,

J. R. STAFFORD’S OLIVE TAR.
A GREAT ELECTRICAL REMEDY FOR PREVENTING
AND CURING ALL DISEASES OF THE
THROAT ANI) LUNGS. '
Olive Tar is Applied and Inhaled, and is not Taken.
DIRECTIONS.—AppIy by nibbing where" pain or disease
exists: then cover the parts with a plaster made of oiled
Silk, to which stitch a thin layer of cotton batting; then
•over the batting with thin muslin. Cotton or woollen
flannel may be used instead of the oiled silk plaster, but
the operations of the remedy will uot be as speedy, nor as
•ffectlve.
FOH Inoalino.—Place a saucer over a bowl of hot water,
(and keep it hot;) pour into the saucer euougli Olive Tar
to cover tbo bottom; the apartment will soon be filled with
its odor, affording to the patient an atmosphere impregna
ted with the delightful blended aroma of
The Olive aud of t tie Pine.
Renew the Olive Tar daily tor In hiding by 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
ually, 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 methods of inhalation should be used.
By adhering to tho-abnvo direction, the very worst forms
of diseases of the Throat or Lungs, if not speedily cured,
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 TAU 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 Olive Tar
and Mutton Tallow in equal parts. This Ointment is a
positive euro for all diseases of the skin.
.85* Pain cannot exist where Olive Taf or Olive Ointment
is applied.
STAFFORD’S OLIVE TAR does not contain any mineral
■ubstances, nor any poisonous drug; the principal ingredi
ents are Pitch Pine Tar. ami 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 out
common pasture weeds, a remedy that cures
EVERY KIND OP HUMOR,
from the worst Scrofula down to a common pimple.
He has tried it Id over 1100 cases, and never failed except
In two cases, (both thunder humor.) He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates of its virtue, all
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 a«-e warranted to cure the worst canker in
the mouth or stomach.
Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst case
of Erysipelas.
One to two bottles are warranted Jo cure all humor in
the Eyes. r
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 ulcers.
One bottle will cure scaly corruption of the skin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst
•ase of ringworm
Two to three Dottles are warranted to cure the most des
perate case of rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the salt
rheum.
• Five to eight bottles will cure the worst case of scrofula.
A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, aud
a perfect cure is warranted, when the above quantity is
taken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottles of this in the
vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of it in every case.—
So sure as water will extinguish fire, so sure will this
•ure 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 places quite'
plentiful, and yet its value has never been known until I
discovered It in 18-10—second that it should cure all kinds
of humor. _ i
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise, and great
popularity of the discovery. I will state that in April,
1853, I peddled it and sold about six bottles per day—in
April, 1854, I sold over one thousand bottles per day of it
Some of the wholesale Druggirts who have been in the
business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing in the
annalq of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a
universal^prai6e of it from all quarters.
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 in 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
tle*. 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 Beveral cases of Dropsy, all of them aged peo
ple cured by it. For the various diseases of the Liver, Siek
Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague, Pain In
the aide, 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 oqe table spoonful per day
•-Children over ten years 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 twice a day.

The Author of the above
•i c volume is a graduate of one of
- • ' '■'.*? fr<; ■/ - the first medical schools in the
I'nited States, aDd having de
'"r ’’voted a quarter of a century to
the treatment of Syphilis and
kindred disorders as a special
ity. he has become possessed
of most invaluable information
in regard to the same, and is
able to compress into Yade mecum compass, the very
quintessence of medical science on this important subject;
us the result of the expedience of the most eminent phy
sicians in Kurope and America is thoroughly demonstrated
jn his own highly successful practice in the treatment of
secret diseases in many thousands of cases in the City of
Philadelphia alone.
The practice of Dr. Hunter lias long been, and still is,
literally unbounded, hut at the earnest solicitatiuh of nu
merous persons, he has been induced to extend the sphere
of his professional usefulness to the communit}' at large,
through the medium of his ‘‘Medical Manual and Hand
Book for the Atliictod.”
It is a volume that ban received the unqualified recom
mendation of the first physicians in the land, while many
clergymen, fathers, mothers, pbliantropists and humanita
rians, have most freely extended its circulation in all quar
ters where its powerful teachings would be likely to be
instrumental in the moral purification and physical heal
ing of multitudes ot our people, among the young, volatile
and indiscreet, otherwise the pride and Howerof the nation.
The author argues particularly, most strongly against
every species of self defilement, and warns parents and
guardians, in searching terms, to guard the young of both
sext-sfrom the terrible consequences concomitant of theii
ignorance of physiological laws and sexual impurities and
irregularities, whether exhibited by precocious development
or arising frutn the vicious and corrupting examples of
their school mates or otherw.se. To those who have been
already ensnared to the ‘‘paths that take hold on
hell,’’ a ch-ar and explicit way is shown by which they may
secure a return of sound health, and a regeneration of the
soul from its terrible pollution.
It is well known that thousands of victims are annually
sacrificed at the shrine of quackery—especially those suf
fering from Venereal or Syphilitic diseases —Strictures,
Seminal Weakness. Nervous Debility, and the numerous
maladies which spring directly or less remotely from the
indulgence of carnal passions and secret violations of Na
ture.
* In view of these facts, and when it is also considered
that about 10U.UUU persons die annually in the Uuited
Suites of Consumption—a largo majority being the victims
of the voluptuous indiscretions of their progenitors,
agreeably to the Scriptural enunciation, that the sins of
the parents are visited upon the children, even to the third
and fourth generation.—The Author, imbued with senti
ments of enlarged philanthropy, will scarcely be censured
for any elfort to restrain the vices of the age, by the hum
ble instrumentality of his Medical Manual.

TONICS WON’T DO!—They never did do more
than give temporary relief and they never will. It is
because they don’t touch the cause of the disease. The;
cause of all ague aud billions 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 and 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, orany
tonic in existence, as their use is ruinous to the constitu
tion and brings on Dnmb 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 lrom a letter
just received lrom a Physician:
Georgetown, Ohio. March 18,1856.
,lAS. A. RHODES, Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours of 2d inst. is
at hand. The Cure arrived iate last year and the difficulty
in getting any one to try it was greatly increased from the
the fact that a remedy had been introduced which was
growing in favor with the public, as being better than using
Quinine, —not knowing T preanme 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 ju 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'iQuotidianlntermittent Fever,” of mnay weeks standing
They had tried Quiuiue, and other remedies, occasionally
missing a chill, but it was, (as in ail such cases,) slowly
wearing them out, and layingthe 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 sinqp. In ail three of these cases the
“Smith’s Tonic” had been used, and would, as before sta
ted, break the chili, but after a period or two had elapsed
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, 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 “ s Cure.” . Take it when you feel the
chills coming, and you will never have a single one.

COHSUMFTION AND ALL DISEASES
OP THE LUNGS AND THROAT are positively cura
ble by iiihal&tinn. which conveys the remedies to the
cavities in thn lungs through the air passages, and coming
in /direct co ntact with the disease, neutralizes the tubercu-
allays the cough, causes a free and easy expec
toration. heals the lungs, purifies the Mood, imparts re
newed vitality to the nervous system, giving that tone and
energy so indispensable for the restorati'n of health. To
be able to state confidently that Consumption is curable by
inhalati >n, is to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It is
as much under the control of medical treatment as any
other formidable disease; ninety out of every hundred
cases can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per cent in
the Becond; but io the third stage it Is impossible to save
more than five per cent., for the lungs are so cut up by the
disease as to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, however,
in the last stages, inhalation affords extraordinary relief
to the suffering attending this fearful scourge which annu
ally destroys ninety-five thousand persons in the United
States alone; &Dd a correct calculation shows that of the
present population of the earth, eighty millions are des
tined to fill the Consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so fatal as Con
sumption. In all ages it has been the great enemy of lile,
for it spares neither age nor s-»x. bpt sweeps off alike the
brave, the beautiful, the graceful, aud the gifted. By the
help ol that Supreme Being. from whom cometh every good
and perfect gift. I am enabled to offer to the afflicted a per
manent aud speedy enre in Consumption. The first cause
of tubercles is from impure blood, and the immediateeffect,
produced bv their deposition in the lungs, is to prevent the
free admission of air into theaircella. which causes a weak
ened vitality through the entire system. Then surely it is
more rational to expect greater good from medicines enter
ing the cavities of the lungs than from those administered
through the stomach; the patient will always fiud the
lungs free and the breathing easy after mh&tiDg remedies.
True, inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts
constitutionally, and with more power and certainty than
remedies administered by the stomach. To prove the pow
erful and direct influence of this mode of administration,
chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a
few minute?, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so that
a limb may be amputated without the slightest pain: in
haling the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a few
hours.
The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system when
fainting or apparently dead. The odor of many of the
medicines is perceptible in the skin a few minutes after
being inhaled, and may be immediately detected in the
blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional effects of
inhalation, is the fact that sickness is always produced by
breathing foul air. Is not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared aqd judiciously administered
through the lungs, should produce the most happy results ?
During eighteen years’ practice, many thousands, suffering
from diseases of the lungs and throat, have been under
my care, and I have effected many remarkable cures, even
after the sufferers had been pronounced in the last stages,
which fully satisfies me that consumption is uo longer a
fatal disease. My treatment of consumption is original,
and founded on long experience and a thorough investiga
tion. My perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber
cles, Ac., enables me to distinguish, readily, the various
forms of disease that simulate consumption, and apply the
proper remedies, rarely being mistaken even iu a single
case, This familiarity in connection with certain patho
logical and microscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve
thelungsfrom the effects of contracted chests; to enlarge
the chest, purify the blood, impart to it renewed vitality,
giving energy and tone to the entire system. Box 53,

-li. LESS WHALEBONE SKIRTS.—We take pleasure
in again introducing our Improved Seamless Skirt, as be
ing the most acceptable and reliable article in market: we
are aware that many new styles called improvements are
before the public, such as India Rubber, Gutta Percha,
Rattan, Ac., all of which we have if called for—but cannot
recommend them, as we have experimented with and tested
them all—(most of them two years since.) submitting them
to the judgment of competent ladies to decide upon their
merits,and have found them from actual use, to be in all
important respects, decidedly inferior to our properly pre
pared Whalebone, which has been iu use the past two
years, and for which has been expressed from all parts of
the country entire satisfaction; and we have the more
positive evidence from our own large retail trade, amount
ing to many dozen per day. Therefore we confidently
recommend our Skirts to be the least objectionable now in
use; possessing many advantages found in no other Start,
the most important of which is oar series <f clastic Cords hi
the bottom, made from the only material that can be used,
that will recover its place when pressed out of shape, will
not roll or curl, is not affected by heat or cold, and can be
washed without injury. These cords at the bottom, in
stead ofbones, which are exceedingly awkward and Incon
venient, with our own prepared bones above and ft fabric
manufactured by ourselves expressly for our goods, in our
estimation aud the estimation of thousands who have used
them, produces a Skirt and the only Skirt equally adapted
to the parlor, the street, and the crowd, giving a proper,
graceful and elegant form to a Ladies ’ dress, light, plia
ble, easily adjusted and in every respect a complete article,
The public are cautioned against all imitations or otter
goods called Seamless Skirts. Every genuine article is
stamped E. A J. Holmes’ Improved Seamless W’halebone
Skirt, and are for sale at 99 Market Street, Philadelphia,
and in the principal Jobbing Houses in New York and
Boston.

but ruin the constitution with corrosive sublimate—a
dangerous poison, si preparation of mercury—which, with
the remains of disease in the system, produces many of the

sumption, aud frequently a rapid one; Cut should it not
cause death speedily, and the victim to disease marries, the
disease is then conveyed from the parent to the children,
causing them to come into the world with scrofula, affec
tions of the skin, eves, throat. Ac , and again terminates in
consumption, and consigns its victim to an untimely grave,
between the ages of six mouths and thirty five years.—
Self-abuse is another formidable enemy to health ; it de
stroys the nervous system, rapidly wasting away the ener

proper development of the system, and disqualifying its
victim for marriage, society business,and all earthly hap

pal Grocers in the city for the sale of it, and as soon as
we can manufacture a sufficient quantity we shall take
measures to supply Couutry Merchants. In the mean
time, persons wishing the article can bo supplied at the
