raae, recovory is certain, and in a shorter time
than a permanent cure can be effected by any
other treatment, even after the disease has baf
flftl the skill of emineut physicians and resist
ed all the means of cure. The medicines are
pleasant without odor, causing r.o sickness
and free from mercury or balsam. During 20
. years of practice, I have rescued from the
jaws of death many thouaands, who, in the
last stages of the above mentioned diseases
had bean given up to die by their physicians,
which warrants me in promising to the afflict
ed, who may place themselves under my care,
a perfect and most speedy cure. Secret dis
eases are the greatest enemies to health, as
they sie the first cause of Gonsumption, Scrof
ula and many utber diseases, and should he a
terror to the human family. As a permanent
cure is scarcely ever effected, a majority of
the cases falling into the hands of incompe
tent persona, who not only fail to cure the
diseases but ruin the constitution, filling the
system with mercury, which, with the disease,
hastens the suffers! into a rapid consumption.
But should the disease and the treatment
not cause death speedilv and the victim mar
tres, the disease i- emailed upon children, who
are born with feeble constitutions, and the
current of hfe corrupted by a virus which be
trays itself in bcrt'lula, Tetter, Ulcers, Erup

Throat and Lungs, eulailing them to an eatly

belf-auuse ia another formidable enemy to
health, for nothing else in the dtead catalogue
of human diaeasee causes so destructive a drain
upon Ibo ayrtem, drawing ita thousands of
victims through a few years of suffering down
to an untimely gtave. It destroys the Ner
vous system, rapidly wastes away the energiea
of life, causes mental derangement, prevents
the proper development of the system, dis
qualifies for marriage, society, business, and
ell etithiy happiness, and leaves the sufferer
wtccked in body and mind, predisposed to
consumption and a liain of evils more to be
dreaded than death itself. With the fullest |
confidence 1 assure the unfortunate viotiais of |
writ - abuse that a permanent and speedy cure J
can be effected, and with tbe abandonment of :
luiireus practices my patients can be restored I
to ribust, vigoious health.

(FOR THE LAUNDRY.)
TJAS established a greater celebrity than
■" has evet been obtained by any other
Starch.
This has been the result of its marked aa
periority in quality, and its invariable uni
formity.
The public may to assured of lite continu
ance of the ligb standard now established.
The production is over Twenty Tons daily,
and the demand has extended throughout the
whole ol the United States, and to foreign
countries.
Wotking thnS on a very large scale, ami
under a rigid system, they are able to secur®
a perfect arid uniformity in the quality tsrough
out the year. This is the great Desideratum
in Starch making, and is realized now for
the first time.
H The very best starch that can be made,and
n no is always war ted by consumers,
and while this will be supplied to them by
the grocers, ns soon as their customers have
learned whieh is the beet, and ask for it—
otherwise they would be likely to get (hat
article on which the largest profit can be
8 made.
8 Mr. Kingsford Iras been engaged in the
manufacture of starch continuously for Ilia
i last.27 years, and during the whole of the
period, the staroh made under his supervia
ion has been, be.vond anv question, the beat
in the market. For the first 17 years, be had
the charge of the works of Wm. Colgate &
Co., at which period he invented the process
of the manufacture of corn starch.

Starch for the Laundry. This article is per
fectly pure, and is, In every reaped, equal to
' the best Bernibtla Arrow-Root, besides hav
ing additional qualities which render it inval
• uable for the dessert.
Pdlato Starch has been extensively packed
and sold as Corn Starch, and has given false
impressions to many, as to the real merita of
our Corn Starch.
From its great delicacy and purity, it is
eoming al-o into extensive use as a diet for
