matters not from what cause the disease origi

case, rccoveiy is certain.and in n shorter time i
than a permanent cure can lie efl'ected liy any
oiher treatment, even after the disease has hnf
lied the skill of eminent physicians and resist
ed all tho means of cure. The medicines ore i
pleasant without odor, causing r.o sickness 1
and free from mercury or balsam. During 20 '
years of practice, I have rescued from the 1
juwsofdea'h many thousands, who, in trio !
last stages of the above mentioned diseases
had bean given up to die hy their physicians,
which warrants me in promising to the afflict
ed, who may placs themselves under my care,
o perfect and must siecdv cu'c. Secret dis.
eases are tho greatest enemies to health, ns
{ they are the first cause of Consumption, fcicrof
: ula and many other diseases, and should has
i teiror to the human family. As a permanent
1 cure is scarcely ever effected, a majority of
(he cuscs falling into the hands of incompe
tent persons, who not only fail to cure the
diteases hut ruin the constitution, filling tho
syßtem with mercury, which, with the disease,
hastens the suirersi into a rapid consumplion.
But should the disease and the ticalinent
not cause death speedllv and Ihe victim mar
ties, the disease i- entailed upon children, who
ute bom with feeble constitutions, and the
current of life corrupted by a virus which be
trays itself in Scrofula, Tetter, Ulcers, Erup
tions and other affections of the skin, Eyes,
Throat and Lungs, entailing them to an early
giave.
Self-aliuso is another formidable enemy to
health, for nothing else in the diead catalogue
of human diseases causes su destructive a drain
upon tho syrteni, drawing its thousands of
victims through a few years of suffering down
to an untimely grave. It destroys tho Ner
vous system, rapidly wastes away the energies
of life, causes mental derangement, prevents
the proper development of the system, dis
qualifies for marriage, society, business, and
all earthly happiness, and leaves the sufferer
wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to
consumption and a (tain of evils moro to he
dieaded than death itself. With the fullest
confidence I assure Ihe unfortunate viotisis of
self-uhuse that a permanent and speedy cure
can be effected, and with the abandonment of
ruinous piactices my patients can be restored
to robust, vigoious lieullh.
'i he afflicted are cautioned against tho use of
Potent Medicines, for thcro are so many inge
nious snares in the columns of the public pi in Is
to catch and lob the unwaiy sufferers that
millions have their constitutions ruined by
thevjle compounds of quack doctors, or the
equally poisonous nostrums v need as' Patent
Medicines.' 1 have carefully analyzed many
of the so called Putent Medicines and find that
nearly all of tliern contain Corrosive Sutili
male, which is one of Ihe strongest prepara
tions of meicuty and u deadly poison, which
instead ol curing the disease disables the sys
tem for life.
'1 luec-fourlha of the patent nostrums now
in use are put up liy unprincipled and ignor
ant persons, who do not understand even tbe
alphabet of the Materia Medics, and are equal
ly as destitute of any knowledge of the human
system, having one object only in view, and
that to make money regardless of consequence.

This has been the result of its marked an

The public may be assured of the continu

The production is over Twenty Torts daily,
and the demand has extended throughout the
whole ot the United States, and to fuieign
countries.
Working thus on a very large scale, and
under a rigid system, they are ahlto secure
a perfect and uniformity in the quality tnrough
out the year. This is the great Desideratum
in Starch-making, and it> realized now for
the first time.
The very best starch that can be made,and
no other , is always wai ted by consumers,
and while this will be supplied to them by
the grocers, as soon as their customers hsva
learned which is the best, and k for it
otherwise they would be likely to get that
article on which the largest profit can be
made.
Mr. Kingsford has been engaged in the
manufacture of starch continuously fur the
last 2? years, and during the whole of the
period, the starch made under Itts supervis
