Holhieays Ointment and Pillt. infallible
Remedies tor bait Rheum.—Edward Jackson
■of Galveston, Texas, suffered unceasingly for
four vears with salt rheum, so bad was Jte
that tor four or five months at a time, he WHS
compelled to keep hie bed, and the doctors
told him candidly that lie need never again
•xpect to be well. Finding this to be the
'case, he dismissed them, and immediately
.put himself under a course of Holloway's
'Ointment and Pills, these fine remedies soon
made such an improvement in him that he
'WM enabled to resume his occupation, and
by continuing them lor a short time he WM
■restored to the blessings ol health, which he
bM enjoyed ever since.

IMPORTANT TO FEMALES—DLCHEEREMANS'
PILLS.—The combinations ol ingredients in
these Pill*, is the result of a long and ex.
Unstve practice; they aro mild in their oper
ation, and certain in restoring nature to it*
proper channel In evory instance hve the
Pills proved successful. The Pills invarie.
bly open those obstructions to which females
•re liable, end bring nature into its proper
channel, whereby basth is restored, and the
pale and deadly countenance changed to a
healthy one. No female can enjoy good
health unless she is egulai ; and whenever
•n obstruction lakes place, whether from ex
posure, cold, or any other cause, the geneial
health immediately begins to decline, aud the
want of such a remedy ha- be er. the ctuar of
eo many coasumptinna anion g young lemale.
To ladies whose health will not permit an in
crease of their family, these Pills will prove

pregnancy. Headache, pain in the aide, pal
pitation of the heart, loathing of food, and
disturbed sleco do inos*. alwavs arise from the
interruption of oatuie; and whenever that is
the case,, the Pills will icvariably remedy all
these evils. Nor are they less efficacious in

"Whiles," These Pills should never hp ta.

(y IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES.
Dr. GEISSNER'S Celebrated Menatrual Pilla
have been long and widely known as invari
ably certain in removing any stoppage, irreg
ularity, or suppression ol the menses.
In the female hospitals in Vienna, Paris,
and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the
use of all other remedies; because, where a
cure is attainable by medicinal agencies,
they are certain of success. Their astonish
ing efficacy would be almost incredible, if
not vouched for by indubitable testimony, in
numerous instances producing returns of the
monthly period after all hope had been aban
doned.
In every case, from whatever cause the ob
struction may arise, as also to prevent preg
nancy where the health will net admit ol in
crease of family, they are always efficient;
for which reason they must not be used du
ring pregnancy, though always mild, healthy,
safe and certain in their effects.
Married ladies will find particular instruc
tions in the directions, io which are stated
the various symptoms by which the cause ol
tße suppression may be determined. .

WARNING TO EVERY SENSIBLE WOMAN.
WHY FEMALES SIWI* IN HEALTH.
Wo woman of delicacy ia willing to dlacloee the peetv
Liar ailments Incident to her sex, evon to a moat intimate
family physician.
This modeety and delicacy le implanted by nature,
and neither ahoaU nor need be subjected to the rude
shocks inevitable in making known to the other BOX
those ailment* belonging exclusively to the female.
Kxoept In extreme cases, her aensltivoueas will sacri
fice her health rather than her delicacy.
The consequence* are serious, lamentable, and liftv
long.
Thus what at firat could have been easily remedied,
or perhaps better still, not incurred, becomes a compli
cation or diseases, not only ruining the health of the
mother, and embittering her days by aicknee* and suf
fering, but entailing broken constitutions upon her
children, and oinbarraeeing, if not distressing, the busi
ness and pecuniary prospects of the husband. Let every
sensible woman
TAKE WARNING IN TIME,
(ha thousands have done) by tho bitter experience and
sulforiugs of others, of the dreadful cotiaeauenoea she
entails upon herself and those eadeared to her, by her
Ignorance of the nlmploft and plainest rulea of health as
connected with the marriage state, the violation of
which entails disease, suffering, and misery.
How many are snflerlng from obstructions or irregu
larities peculiar to the female system, which undermlno
the health, the effects of whicfi they aro ignorant, and
fbr which their delloacy forbids seeking medical ad
vice I How many suffer from prolapeue uteri (falling of
the womb), or from JUmr at/nu (weakness, debility, fcc.)l
How many are in constant agony for many months pre
ceding confinement I How many have difficult, If not
dangerous deliveries, and slow and uncertain recoveries!
To ?be question, how ore these to be prevented? what
shall he done ? the answer is simple.
Let event woman ascertain for herself, without vio
lence to her delicacy, the naturo and character of the
ailment (to whlc h sbo as a female is subjeot). the causes
from which It may arise, and the proper remedies for
its cure and future pvevontion. .... ,
This sho can do by possessing a littlo volume (already
possessed by thousands), WBICH TELLS EVERY
Tf'OMAN WHAT IS THE MATTER, AND
TELLS HER WHAT TO DO FOR IT , In simple

Extract qf a tetter from a gentleman in Dayton, Ohio.
Dayton, May 1,1847.
Dr. X- M. Mauriceau:
"My wife baa been percept!oly sinking for some three
years or more, in consequence or her great angulah and
suffering somo mouths before and during confinement;
every succeanlvo one more and more dobllitnted and
prostseted her, putting her life in imminent danger, and
which was on tne last occasion despaired of. I supposed
that this stato of things was inevitable, and resigned
myself to moot the worst. At this time (now about two
months), I heard your book highly spoken of, as con
talnlng some matters reaching my case. On its receipt
and perusal, I cannot express to you the relief It afforded
my distressed ndnd, and tho joy its pages imparted to
my wife, on learning that the great discovery of M. M.
Deeomeauz provided a remedy. It opened a prospect
to mo which I little oonceived was possible. No pecu
niary consideration can ever repay the obligations I am
under to you, for having been tlie means of imparting to
ns tho matters contained in "The Married Woman's
Private Medical Companion." But for this, ere another
year would have passed over my head, In all human
probability my wire would have been in her grave and
my children left motherless."
In oonseqnenco of the universal popularity of the
work, as evidenced by its extraordinary sale, various Im
positions have been attempted, as well on booksellers as
on tho public, by imitations of title page, spurious edi
tions, and surreptitious infringements of copyright, and
other dovlces and dooeptioua, it haabeen found uccesaary
