PHILADELPHIA MEDICAL HOUSE—
Established 20 years ago by Dr. KINKELIN,
corner of Third and Union streets, between
Spruce and Pine, Philadelphia, Pa.
INVALIDS,
Are apprised that Or KINKELIN confines
hn practice to a particular branch nf medi
cine, which engages his individual attention.
He cautions the unfortunate against the a
buse of mercury; thousands are annually
mercurialized out o( life. Recent affections
are piompily extinguished.
TWENTY YEARS'EXPERIENCE
lit the treatment of a class of diseases hith
erto neglected and imperfectly understood,
has enabled Dr. KINKELIN, Author of a
work on Sell Preservation, to prove that nine
tenths of the causes of nervous debility, lo
cal and consiituiional weakness, mental and
physical suffering, are traceable to ceilaiu
habits, forming lite most secret yet deadly
and latal springs of domestic misery and
premature mortality.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
There is an evil habit sometimes indulged j
"in by boys, in sr.lilude, and which, if not re \
formed in due tune, not only begets serious
obstacles to matrimonial happiness,but gives i
rise to a series ol protracted', insidious, and !
devastating afliiciions. Few ol those who i
■give way to this pernicious practice are a
ware ol the consequences, until they find I
4be nervous system shattered, feel strange i
and unaccountable leelings, and vague fears |
in the mind.
The unfortunate thus afiecied becomes fee
■ble, is unable to labor with accustomed vig- I
-or, or to apply his mind to study ; his step is |
tartly and weak, lie is dull, irresolute, and
engages in his sport with less energy than
usual.
If he emanci) ate himself before the prac- j
lice has done its worst, and en er matrimony,
his marriage is unfruitful, and his sense telle |
him that this is caused by his early tollies.—
These are considerations which should awa
ken the attention of those similarly situated.
MARRIAGE
Requires the fulfillment of several conditions
in order that it may be really the cause of
mutual happiness. Could the veil which
covert the origin of domestic wretchedness
be raised, and ita true source in every in- 1
stance disclosed —in how many could it be
traced to physical disqualifications and their
attendant disappointments! Apply then while i
it is yet time, in order to have your unstrung
and relaxed organization rebtaced, revivified
and strengthened.
REMEMBER,
Ha who places himself under Dr. Kittkelin's
treatment may religiously confide in his hou
<ur as a gememau, ami rely upon the assur- i
ance, that the secrets of Dr. K' patients will 1
never be disclosed.
Young mutt—let no false modesty deter
you from making your case Known to one
who, from education and respectability, can
befriend you.
Too many think they will conceal the se
cret in their own hearts, and cure themselves.
Alas! how often is this a latul delusion, and
how many a promising young man, who
might have been an oruameat to society, has
faded from the earth.
Strictures of the urethra are rapidly re
moved by the application of a new thera
peutical agent, used only by Dr K. Weak
ness and Constitutional Debility promptly
cured, and lull vigor restored.
"/ am a man and deem nothing which
relates to man foreign to my feelings."

Harrisburo, June 2d, 1856 \
To the Commissioners and Treasurer of Colum
bia County,
—Permit me to call your
attention to the lolloping provision in
the Act of'29th of April, 1844:
''lf any county shall pay into the State
"Treasury its quota of tax levied on the ad
"justed valuation, FIFTEEN days prior to the
"first day of August in any year, such county
"shall be entitled to an abatement of five per
' ten! on the amount so paid."
I am induced to send you this circular, not
to much from the custom which has prevail
ed in this office, but because of the anticipa
ted difficulties between this and tho first of
August next.
The large and pressing demands upon the
Treasury, many of which cannot be postpon
ed, may cause a resort to a temporary loan,
(which is rfol desirable.) unless relief is had
in the usual quarter from the counties.
The credit of the State, as well as the gen
erous abatement she has allowed in case of
prompt payment, will no doubt induce you to
come to Iter relief,
Be pleased to reply at an early day as to
your intention to comply with ihe suggestions
; ol this Circular.
Yery respectfully,
HENRY S. MAGRAW,
State Treasurer.

TONICS WDY'T DO.
7|>HEY never did do more than give tempo
•R- ra:y relief and they never will. Il is be
cause they don't touch Ihe cause of the dis
ease. The cause of all ague and billious dis
eases is the atmospheric poison called Miaa
tna or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
its
NATURAL ANTIDOTE,
and all diseases caused by it. disappears at
once. Rhodes' Fever and Agile Cure is this
Antidote 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 car. do
no harm.
This is more than can be said of Quinine,
Arsenic, or any tonic in exi-tence, as their
use is ruinous lo the constitution and brings
00 DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per
son to feel perfectly well for a single moment.
In illusuation of these truths I annex some
extracts from a letter just received from a
Physician:
Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '56.
JAS. 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
lo try it was greatly increased from ihe fact
that a remedy had been introduced which
was growing in favor with the public, as be
ing belter than using Quinine, —not knowing
1 presume that the retneJy they needed lo
escape taking Quinine, contained the DRUG
ITSELF!
This remedy,(known as "Smith's Tonic,")
would invariably BREAK an ague, but it did
not CURE it, and it would often return with
renewed vigor. The one circumstance I
deemed in your favor, if I could institute a
(est comparison between it and your CURE.
The following is the result:
Three persons took your "Cure," all of :
which were cases of "Quotidian In.ermil- i
tent Fever," of many weeks standing. They 1
had iried Quinine, and other remedies, oeca- |
sionally missing a chill, but-it was, (as in all
such cases,; slowly wearing them out, and ■
laying the Inundation nf other and severer
maladies. I did succeed in effecting a radi
cal cure of all three of these cases with your
remedy, and they have not had a chill since.
In all three of these cases the "Smith's Ton
ic" had been Used, and would, as before sta
ted, break the chill, but afiera period or two
had elapsed it would return.
1 think there will be no difficulty now in
giving to your -'Cure'' the vantage ground of
any other remedy now in use here. &c. &c.
WILLIAM BUCKNER, M. D.
RHODES' FEVER and AGUE CURE, or
Antidote to Malaria, the only harmless reme
dy in existence, is equally certain as a PRE
VENTIVE, as a "CURE." Take it when
you leel the chill coming on, and you will
never have a 6ingle one.

the hite Extensive Fires.
AT THE BURNING OK THE ARTIZAN
** BUILDJNGS, April 10th, and in the greaf
fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen
uine HERHINQSAFE preserved the Jewelry of
George W. Simms & Bro.; Books, Papers &c.
of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Setnans ii Co.,
after remaining exposed in the burning ruins
lor nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu
sively what we have always claimed for
them, their great supeiiotily over all securi
ties known. ,
In these fires, thro HERRING'S SAFE,
standing side by side with/those advertised
as "warranted to stand 10 per cent, more fire
than Herring's," came forth the acknowledg
ed victor, not poly, preserving their contents
in excellent order, bat being themselves in a
condition to gnthrocgh another ordeal, while
lite boasted "Saleniattders" of other makers
were budly used up in every instance, and
in somecesesllreir entire contents completely
destroyed.
To the public we would simply say, that,
during the fourteen years of the Herring's
Safe has been before them, more than two
hundred have passed through accidental fires
without the occurrence of a single loss.
We would, therefore, caution purchasers
against die misrepresentation of interested
parties. The Herring's Patent is the only
Fire-proof Safe made in this city which is
protected bv a Patent Rigbt, and we will
guarantee it to resist more than double the
amount of heat of any other Safe now known.
