in our office, on the second floor of our build

TONICS WON'T DO.
rjXHEY never did do more than give tempo
rary relief and they never will. It is be
cause they don't touch the cause of the dis
ease. The cause of all ague and bi!liou dis
eases is the atmospheric poison called Mias
ma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
ils
NATURAL ANTIDOTE.
nnd all diseases caused by it disappears at
once. Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure is this
Antidote to Malaria, am 1 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 dues no good it cue do
no harm.
This is more than can be said ol Quinine,
Arsenic, or any lonic in existence, us their
uiwT is minims in the constitution and brings
on DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per
son lo feel perfectly well for a single moment.
In illustration of these truths 1 annex some
extracts Irom 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 lale
last year and tile difficulty in gotiing any nun
|to try it was greatly Increased frogi the fact
j thai a remedy hud been introduced which
i was growing in favor with the public, as be
: ing better than using Quinine, —not knowing
| I presume that the remeJy they needed to
'■ escape taking Quinine, contained the DRUG
| ITSELF!
This remedy, (known as "Smith's Tonic,")
would invariably BREAK an ague, bu: it (lid
not CURE it, and it would often return with
renewed vigor. The one circumstance 1
deemed in your favor, if I could institute a
test comparidfa between it and your CURE.
The lollowing is the result:
Three persons took your "Cure," all of
which were esses of "Quotidian Intermit
tent Fever," of many weeks standing. They
had tried Quinine, and other remedies, occa
sionally missing a chill, but it was, (as in all
suclt cases.] slowly wearing them out, and
laying the foundation of other and severer
maladies. I did succeed iu effecting a radi
cal cure of all threb of these cases with your
remedy, and they have not had a chill smcd.
Iu all three of these cases the "Smith's Ton
ic"*had been used, and would, as before sta
ted, break the chill, but after a period er two
had elapsed it would return.
I think there will be no difficulty now in
giving to your "Cure" the vantage ground of
any other remedy now iu its# 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." Taken when
you feel lite chill coming un, and you will
never have a single one.

Tnr. Author of the above volume is a gradu
ate of ono or the first medical schools it- the
United States, and having devoted a quarter of
a century to the study and treatment ofHyphilis
and kindred disorders as n speciality, he has
become possessed of most invalusble informa

' pass into vade tnecum compass the very quint
| essence of medical science on this important
subject; as the result of the experience of the
most eifimeat physician in Europe and Amer

highly sHccessfunrractice in the treatment of

through the medium of his "Medi.al Manual

It is a volume that should be in the hand of
every family in the land, whether used as a
preventive of aciet vice, or as a gnide for the
alleviation of one of the most awful and de

for the sins of sensuality and impurity of every

It is a volume that has received the unquali

The autltoi argues particularly, most strongly
against every species of self-defilement, and
warns parents and guardians, in reaching
terms, to guard the young of both sexes from
the terrible consequences concomitant of their
ignorance of pliyological laws and sexual tmd
purities and irregularities, whether exbibile

vircious and corrupting examples of their school. !

pollution.
It is well known that thousands of victims
are annually sacrificed at the shrine of Quack

from the indulgence of carnal passions and se

considered that about 100,000 persons die annu

large majority being the victims of ite voluput

Established 20 years ago by Dr. KINKELIN,
corner of Third and Union atreeta, between.
Spruce and Pine, Philadelphia, Pa.
INVALIDS
Are apprised that Dr. KINKELIN confine*
his practice to a particular branch of medi
cine, which engage* his individual attention.
He caution* the nnforlnnate against the a
buse of mercury; thousands are annually
mercurialized out ol life. Recent affection*
are promptly extinguished.
TWENTY YEARS'EXPERIENCE
In 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 hat nine
tenths of the causes of nervous debility, lo
cal and conslitntional weakness, mental an) A
physical suffering, are traceable td certainM
habits, forming the most secret yet
and tsial springs of domestic misery and
premature mortality.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE,
There is an evil habit aomelimes indulged
in by boys, in solitude, and which, if not re
formed in due time, not only begets serious
obstacle* to matrimonial happiness,but gives
rise to a series of protracted, insidious and
devastating afflictions. Few ol tboee' who
give way to this pernicious practice are a
ware ol the consequences, until they find
the uv v °us system shattered, feel Strang*
and unaccountable feelings, and vague fears
in the tflftid.
The unfortunate thus affected becomes fea
ble, is unable lo labor with aceustoined via
or, or to apply his mind lo study ; his step is
tardy ami weak, he is dull, irresolute, and
engages in his sport with less energy loan
usual.
II he emancqate himself before the prac
tice lias done its worst, and etrer matrimony
his maniage is uflfruitfnl, and his sense tell*
him that this is caused by his early follies.-?
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 happtne-s. Could the veil which
covers the origin of domestic wretchedness
be raised, and its true source is every in
stance disclosed—in how many could it tie
tracej to physical disqualifications and their
attendant disappointment.! Apply then while
it is yet time, in order lo have your unstrung
and relaxed organization rebraced, reviviflsj
and strengthened.
REMEMBER,
He who planes himself under Dr. JCinkeliti's
treatment may religiuu-ly confide in his hon
or as a geittemail, and rely upon the assur
ance, that the secrets of Dr. K's patients will
never be disclosed.
\oung man—let no laise modesty deter
yon from making your case Known to aue
who, from education and respectability, can
befriend you.
Too many think they will confceal the se
cret in their own hearts, and pure themselves.
Alas ! how often is this a lutal delusion, and
how many a promising young man, who
might have been an ornament 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 full vigor restored.

fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen
uine HEKUINU SAFE preserved the Jewelry of
George W. Simrns & Bro.; Books, Papers tic
of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Semans & Co.,
after remaining exposed in the burning ruins
for nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu
sively what we have always claimed for
them, their great supeiioiily over all securi
ties known.
In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE,
standing aide by side with those advertised
as "warranted to stand 10 per cent, more fire
than Herring's," came forth the acknowledg
ed victor, not only preserving their contents
in excellent order, but being themselves in a
condition to go through another ordeal, while
the boasted "Salamanders" of other makers
were badly used op in every instanoe, arid
in somecasestlieir entire content* -compkawly
destroyed.
To the public we would simply say, that,
itcrmg the fourteen years of the Herring's
Safe hi* been before them, more than two
hundred have passed through, accidental Area
without the occutrence of a single locs.
1 We would, therefore, caution purchasers
against the misrepresentation of interested
parties. The Herring's Patent is the only
Fire-proof Safe made in this eity vfhiclt is

guarantee it lo resist more thai double the
