Philadelphia, Dec. 15th, 1854.
Messrs. Evans ii Watson, No. 26 sonlh
Fourth Street, Philadelphia.—Gentlemen:
We :ake pleasure in recommending your
Salamander Sales to merchants and others
in want of a secure means of preserving
their books, papers, &c., ftom fire, as the
one we purchased from you about seven
months since has preserved onr books, pa
pers, and cash in as good condition as they
were when put into it, before the great lire
of this morning, which destroyed the entire
block of buildings corner of Chestnut and
Fifth Streets. Ihe above Safe was in nsp
in our office, on the second floor of our build
ing, from which place it fell into the cellar,
and remained there until the fire was out.—
The sale was then removed, and oppened in
the presence of at least 1000 persons, who
witnessed 1 tic good condition ol the contents.
Will you please have the Safe antl locks re
paired, as we intend to put it in use again,
having perfect confidence in its fire proof
qualities. Yours, respectfully,
LACEY & PHILLIPS.
Evans & Watson take pleasure in referring
to the following, among the many hundreds,
who have their Safes in use:—U. S. Mint,
Philadelphia: Farmers & Mechanics' Bank,
Philadelphia; Samuel Allen, Esq. High Sher
iff, Philadelphia; John N. Heudeison, City

TONICS WON'T DO.
TBIHEY never did do mote than give tempo
rary'relief and they never will. It is be
cause they don't touch the cause of the dis
ease. The ca'ise of all ague and hillious dis
eases is the atmospheric poison called Mias
ma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
its
NATURAL ANTIDOTE.
and all diseases caused by it disappears at
once. Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure is this
Antidote to Malaria, and moreover it is a
perfectly harmless medicine. The certificate
of the celebrated chemist, J. It. Chilton, of
New York, In this effect, is attached to every
bottle; therefore if it does no good it cur. do
no harm.
This is more than can be said of Quinine,
Arsenic, or tiny tonic in existence, as their
ue is ruinous tn the constitution nipt brings
on DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per
son tn feel pnrlecily well for a single moment.
In illustration of these truths ! annex some
extracts from a letter just received from a
Physician :
Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '56.
JAS. A. HIIODKS, Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours of
2d inst. is at hand. The Cure arrived late
last year and tho difficulty in gelling any one
to try it was greatly increased from the fact
that a remedy had been introduced which
was growing in favor with the public, as be
ing better than using Quinine, —not knowing
I presume that the remedy they needed to
escape taking Quinine, contained the DRUG
ITSELF!
This remedy,(kno'.' uas "Smith's Tonic,")
would invariably BRfc-AK 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
test comparison between it and your CURE.
The following is the result:
"fhree persons look your "Cure," ail of
which were cases 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
such cases,; slowly wearing them out, and
laying the Inundation of 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-
I ic" had been used, and would, as before sta-
I ted, break the chill, but after a period or two
bad elapsed it would return.
I think there will be no difficulty now in
giving to your "Cure" the vantage ground of
any other rmnedv now in use here. &e. &c.
WILLI AM BUCKNEU, 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
yon feel the ohill coming on, and you will
never have a single one.

Tnr Author of the above volume ta a gradu
ate of one or Ih*. first medical schools it- the
United State*, and having devoted a quarter of
a century to the study and treatment of Syphilis
and kindred disorders as a speciality, he has
become possessed of most invaluable informa
tion in regard to the ••me, and is able to com
pass into vade mecum compass the very quint
essence of medical acienca on this important
subject; 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 the treatment of
•o rft diseases in many thousands ol cares in
the City of Philadelphia alone.
The | ractice of Dr. Hunter hos long boen.
anil still is literally unbounded, but at the ear
nest solicitation of numerous persons, hr has
beon induced to extend the sphere of his pro
fessional usefulness to tho community or largo,
through the medium of his "Mcdi al Manual
Hand-Uook for tho Afflic'rd.''
It is a volume that should be in the hand cf
every family in the land, whether used as a
preventive of secret vice, or as a guide for the
alleviation of one of the most awful and de
structive scourges over visited upon mankind
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, | hilanthropisls and humanitarians, have
most freely extended its circulutior. in all quar
ters where its powerful teachings vvoulJ be like
ly to bo instrumental in the moral purification
and phv*t:al healing of multitude! of our peo.
pie, among the young, volatile and indiscreet,
otherwise the pride and flower of the nation.
The aultioi orgues particularly, most strongly
against every specie*, of self-defilement, and
warns parents and guordians, in searching
termß, to guard the young of both sexes from
tho terrible consequences concomitant of their
ignorance of phyiologicnl luws and aexual tmd
purities and irregularities, whether eihihitc
ny precocious development or arising fiom the
visciousatid corrupting examples of their school
mates or otheiwise. To those who hove hcei
already ensnored to tho "paths that tske hold
on hell,'' a clear and explicit way is shown by
which they may secure a return of sound health
and a regeneration of the soul from lis terrible
pollution.
Ilia well known that thousanJs of victims
are annually sacrificed at the shrine of Quack
ery —especially thosesuffering fiom Venereal or
Syphilitic diseases—Strictures, Seminal Weak
ness, Nervous Debility, and the numeroas mal
adies which spiring directly or less remotely
from the indulgence of carnal passions and se
cret violations of Nature.
In view of these facts, and when it is also
considered that about 100,1)00 persons die annu
ally in the United States of Conouinplion—a
largo majority being the victims of the voluput
ous indiscretion of their progenitors, agreeably
to the Scriptural enunciation, that the sins of
the parents arc viaitcd upon the children, even to
tho third and fourth generation. The Author,
imbued with sentiments of enlarge,d plulhnthro

restruin tho vices of the ago, by the humble in

TWENTY YEARS'EXPERIENCE
In the treatment of a class of disease* hith
erto neglected and imperfectly nnderslood.
has enabled Dr. KINKELIN, Author of a
work on Self Preservation, to prove hat ninn
tenths of the causes of nervous debility, lo
cal and constitutional weakness, mental and
physical suffering, are traceable to certain
habits, forming the most secret yet deadly
and laial aprtngs of domestic misery and
premature mortality.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE,
There is an evil habit sometimes indulged
in by boys, in solitude, and which, if not re
formed in due trine, not only begets serious
obsiaclos to matrimonial happiness,bul give*
rise to a series of protracted, insidious, and
devastating afflictions. Few ol those who
give way to this pernicious practice ate a
ware ol the consequences, nntil they find
the nervous eystetn shattered, feel strange
and unaccountable feelings, and vague fear*
in the mind.
The unfortunate thtlS affected becomes fee

These are consideration* which should awa

MARRIAGE

He who places himself under Dr. Kinkelin's
treatment may religiously confide in hit Hon

Young man—let no false modesty deter
you from making your case Known to one

jjgjm HERRING'S
QLjA CHAMPION!! '
The only Safe which, in every instance,
preserved the entire contents at
the late Extensive Fires.
AT THE BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN
BUILDJNGS, Aptil 10th, and m the gnat
fire in Market Street, Muy Ist, 1856, the gen
nine HKHUING SAFE preserved the Jewelry of
George W. Simm* & Bro.; Books, Papers itc.
o( Fisher & Brn. and Edward Setnans & Co.,
after remaining exposed in the horning ruin*
lor nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu
sively what we have always claimed for
thein, their great supetioiily over all securi
ties known.
In these fires, the 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 only preserving Uieir contents
in excellent order, but being themselves in ■
condition to go through another ordeal, while
the boasted "Salamanders" of other makers
were badly used up in every instance, and
i in some cases their entire content* completely
destroyed.
To the public we would simply say, that,,
during the fourteen years of the Herring'#
Safe has been before them, more than two
hundred have passed through accidental fires
without the occutrence of a single loss.
We would, therefore, caution purchasers
against the misrepresentation of interested
parties. The Herring's Patent ia the only
Fire-proof Safe made in this oily which is
protected by a Patent Right, and we will
guarantee it to resist more than double the
amount of heat of any other Safe now known.
