KIKIiSFOKI) & SOX'S PURE OS7TEOO STARCH* (FOR THE LAUNDRY.) TTAS established a greater celebrity than *■" has ever been obtained by any othet Starch. This has been the result of its marked su periority in quality, and its invariable uni formity. The public may be assured of Ihe conlinu- 1 ance of the h gh standard now established. The production is over Twenty Tons daily,. and the demand has extended throughout the | whole of the United States, and to foreign [ countries. Working thus on a very large scale, and j under a rigid system, they are aide to spcurtt ' a perfect nttd uniformity in tlte quality in rough- j out the year. This is the great Desideratum j in Starch making, and is realized now for j Ihe first time. The very beet etareli Ihat cnn be made, end | no other, is always wat led by consumers, ! had white this will be supplied to them bj j the grocers, as soon as their customers have ) learned which is the best, and ask for it— I otherwise they would be likely to get that article on which the largest profit can be made. Mr. Kingsford hastbeen engaged in the manufacture of starch continuously for the last 27 years, and during Ihe whole of the period, the stHrcli made under Ins supervis ion has been, beyond any question, the best in the market. For the first 17 years, he hud Ihe charge of the works ol Win. Colgate & Co.. at which period he invented the proce.-s of the manufacture of corn starch. T3T Ask for Kingston!' s Starch, as the name Oswego has recently been taken by another fac tory. T. KINGSFORD & SON'S OSWEGO CORN STAIWH, (For Puddings, Ifc,) Has obtained an equal celebrity with theif Starch for the Laundry. This article is per' fectly pure, and is, in every respect, equal to the best Bermuda Arrow-Root, besides hav ing additional qualities which render it inval uable for the dessert. Potato Starch lias been extensively packed and sold as Corn Slaroh, and lias given false impressions to many, as to the real merits ol our Com Starch. From its great delicacy and purity, it is coming aRo into extensive use as a tiiet lor infants and invalids. E. N. KELLOGG fa CO., Agents. 196 Fulton Street, N. Y.

CONSUMPTION. AND ALL JISEASES OF THE LUNGS And THOATT ate positively curable by in halation, which conveys Ihd. remedies to the cavities ill the lungs through the air pas sages, and coming in direct contact with the disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter, allays the cough causes a free and easy ex- I pecto'siion,heals the lungs, pur lies the blood, imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys- letn, giving that lone and energy so ittdis ppiisable for the restoration of healih. To he able to slate confidently that Consumption is curanle by inhalation, is to me a source of ! unalloyed pleasure. It is a- much under the control of medical treatment as any ther formidable disease; ninety nut of every hun dred rases can be cured in the first stages, and filtv per cent, in the second; but ill the third stage it is impossible lo save more than five per cent., for ihe lungs are so cut up by llie disease as to bid defiance lo medical I skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in I halation affords extraordinary rehel to the j suffering intending this tearful scourge, which | niiiiuolly destroys ninety five thousand per i sons ill the United States alone; and a correct ! calculation show s lhat out of the present pop i illation of the eatth, eighty miliums are de | tiiiecl lo fill the consumptive's grave. • Truly the quiver of death lias no arrow so fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been j the great enemy of life, for it spares neithor ■ age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave, i the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.— j By tlte help of that Supreme Being, from i whom cometh every gond and perfect gift, I ! urn enabled to offer to the afflcted a perma- I nent aril speedy cure in Consumption. Tlte ■ first cause ol tubercles is from impure . blood, ullit Ihe immediate effect, produced 1 by their deposition in Ihe lungs, is to prevent ' the free admission of air into the air cells, ■ which causes a weakened vitality through i the entire system. Then surely it is more ' rational to expect greater good from tv.edij | cities entering the cavities of the lungs than | from those administered through the stotn- I ach; the patient wilt always find the lungs (roe anil the breathing easy alter inhaling remedies. Thus, inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless it-acts constitutionally, and with more power and certainty than rem edies administered by the etonnach. To prove the nowcrlnl and direct influence ol litis mods of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew rniti tt'es, paralyzing lite enure nervous system, so tha' a limb may be amputated without lite s'ighiest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning I gas vvdl destioy lite hi a few hours. The inhalation of ammonia will rnnoe the system when fainting or apparently dead.— Tho odor ol many of lite medicines is per ceptible in the skin a few minute- af.er being inhaled, and may be immediately detected in iho blood A convincing proof of the constitutional effects ol inhalation, is Ihe fact that sickness is always produced by breath ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously administered thiough the longs, should produce thewnost happy resulls? Du ring eighteen years' practice, mativ thous ands; suffering fro.n diseases of the lungs and throat, hive been under my care, and 1 have affected many remarkable cures, even alter the sufferers had been pronounced itt iho last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer o latal disease.— My treatment of consumption is original, and founded oil long experience and a thorough investigation. My perfect acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, &0., enables me to j distinguish readily the various forms of dis- j ease that simulate consumption, anil apply j ihe proper remedies rarely being misiaken j even m a single case. Tiiis familiarity in connection with certain pathological am l mi cioscopic discoveries, enables me to reiievq, the lung" from tlte effects of contracted chests; to enlarge Ihe chest, pnrlty-'he blood, imparl to it renewed vitality, giving enurgy and tone to the entire system. Medicines with full directions sent lo any part oi the United States and Canada* by patients communicating their symptoms by letter. But Ihe cure would be more ceilain if the patient should pay me a visit, which would give mo an opportunity to examine tlte lungs and enable me to prescribe with greater certainty, and then the cure could be effected without my seeing the paiigm again.
