REFERENCES. I feel it a duly incumbent upon myself to declare publicly the great blessing Dr. Mar- Chisi's Uterine Calbolicon has proved to me. For two years my health was miserable; I was almost unable to walk. Physicians pro nounced my case fulling ol the womb, exten sive ulcerations, commencing with flour al bus. The pains, jrritation, prostration, fcc., rendered life a burden. In this miserable condition, Dr. F. P. New-land recommended Dr. Marcbisi's Uterine Catholieon. After ta lcing four bottles I found myself in perfect health. Gratitude for my restoration makes me ardently desire that all my sex, a like unfortunate, may find sure relief Itom this in estimable medicine. ULIZABKrn A. NEWLAND, No. 19 West st., Utica, N. Y. The above statement I kimxv to be true, F. P. NEWLAND, M. D„ Utica, New York. I would be "glad to bave s further supply, as the medicine is becoming very popular, and 1 think will continue, as it has given re lief in every instance where properly taken. THOMAS.NEWMAN, M.

D. Y. FOOTE, M. D., Syracuse, N. Y. The claims nf this medicine to the confi dence ol the public aro strengthened by the fact of its having received the approbation end patronage of many prominent members 1 of the Medical Faculty in ilm United States, | some ol whom have voluntarily given letters I of commendation, (see pamphlet,) sustaining all that is claimed lor it as a curative agent.

It is a volume that has received the unquali fied recommendation of the first physicians in the land, while many clergymen, fathers, moth ers, | hilanlhropists and humanitarians, have most freely extended its circulation in ail quar ters where its powerful teachings would be like ly to be instrumental in the moral purification and phvsitai healing of mulliiudej of our peo ple, among the young, volatile and indiscreet, otherwise the pride and flower of the nation. The author argues particularly, most strongly against every species of self-difilcment, and warns parents and guardians, in searching terms, to guard the young of both sexes from the terrible consequences concomitant of their ignorance of phyiological laws and sexual im purities and irregularities, whether exhibited ny precocious development or arising from the visciuus and corrupting examples of their school motes or olhciwise. To those who have lieej already ensnared to the "paths that take hold on hell,'' a clear and explicit nay is shown by which they may secure a return of sound health and a regeneration of the soul from its terrible pollution.
