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,

The above statement I kimxv to be true,

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 ,
Ml. Vernon, Ind.
Prevail nn medical men to adopt it in their
practice ; and I have no fears oi the result,
from what knowledge I have obtained per
sonally of its curative powers. I wish the
medicine kept here.
T. C. HAWKINS, M. D.,
Wsynesburg, Ps.
I must say, from my own experience and
personal observations in my practice, it has
proved to be the best and sates! rnrnedy lor
the difficulties for which it is recommended,
viz.: those ol female weakness, such as Pro
lapsus U eri, Flour Albus, and all irregular
end painlul menstruation, unu diseases of ir
ritation ol the fenisle organs.
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.

TO THE FASHONABLE AND FT?
THE undersigned, havingjitst received the
latest Paris and New York Fashions,
would again beg leave to inform his numer
ous friends and all the world about Blooms
burg, that he is now better prepared titan ev
er to accommodate any one w th lb - neatest,
eaaiest and best titling suits of Clothes that
have been turned out lately; and not only
that, but he will also do them up in the best
order, upon lite lowest terms.
His shop is at the old stand, (ton well
known to need lutlher notice) where he may
•I all times be found, sealed upon the bench
of repentance, steadily drawing out the fArsid
of affliction, hopeing it may in the end prove
advantageous to him and his customers. He
would also ndvise his friends to bear in mind
that poor, afflicted tailors must live, or they
can't bs expected to work. Therefore, Wheat,
Rye, Corn, Oats, Potatoes, and with all now
and then a little CASH will come mighty
handy from those who are back standing on
hte book.
Remember, gentlemen, that in all cases
. "thelaborer is worthy of his hire."

Tee Author of the above volume is a gradu
ate of one or the. first medical schools if the
United States, and having devoted a quarter of
a century to the study and treatment of Hyphilia
and kindred disorder., as a speciality, he has
become possessed of moat invnluablo informa
tion in regard to the same, and is able to com
pass into vode mecum compass the very quint
essence of medical science on this important
sutiject; as the result of the experience of the
most eminent physician in Europe and Amer
ica is thoroughly demonstrated in his own
highly successful practice in tbe treatment of
so. rrt diseases in msny thousands of cores in
the City of Philadelphia alone.
The iracticeof Dr. Hunter has long boen,
and still is literally unbounded, but at the ear
nest solicitation of numerous persons, ha has
been induced to extend tho sphere of his pro
fessions! usefulness to the community at large,
through the medium of his "Mcdt ml Manual
Hand-Book for the Afflic'ed.''
It is a volume that should be in the hand of
every family in the land, whether used as a
oreventive of secret vice, or as a gnide for the
alleviation of one of the most swful and de
structive scourges ever visited upon nfankind
for the sins of sensuality and impurity of every
kl d.
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.
It ia well known that thousands of victims
are annually sacrificed at the shrine of Quack
ery —cspcciully those suffering from Venereal or
Syphilitic diseases—Strictures, Seminal Weak- j
ness, Nervous Debility, and the numerovs mal
adies which spring directly or less remotely
from tbe indulgence of carnal passions and se
cret violations of Nature.
In view of these fuels, and when it is also
considered that about 100,001) persona dio annu
ally in the United Slates of Uunoumplion—a
large majority being the victims of the voluput
ous indiscretion of their progenitors, agreeably
to the Ucriptutal enunciation, that the sins of
the parents are visited upon the children, even to
the third and fourth generation. 'The Author,

'' Love rules the eoutl, the camp the arove,
For Love is Heaven, and Heaven is Love."
So sang the Bard; yet thousands pine
For love—of life the light divine—

The hearts of those they love to warm,
Might live, might die, in bliss supreme,
Possessing all of which they dream.
The toadjo Wedlock would you know ?
Delay not, but to BONDOUT go.
Time flies, and from his gloomy wings
A shadow falls on living things;
Then seize the moments as they pass,
Ere fall the last sands through the glass;
At least the present is your own,
While ail the future is unknown.
