A CARIJ FROM nit. JAMES M. JAR.
RETT, OF THE NEW-YORK LUNG IN
FIRMARY. My eennection for the past eight
years with the above Institution, as Chief Physi
cian, and a twelve years' course of steady devotion
to the Cure of Pulmonary Consumption and its
kindred diseases, togother with my unrivalled op
portunities and advantage of pathological research
aided not a little by a perfect rysteut or Medical
Inhalation has enabled me to'arrive at a deci
sive, direct, and successful course of treatment for
the positive and radical cure of all diseases of the
Throat, Lungs, anil Air-passages. By Inhalation,
the vapor and cumtive properties of medicines are
directly addressed to the diseased organs of the in
tegument. I do not advise the use of Medical In
halation of any kind, to the exclusion of o-eneral
treatment ; and although I consider it a useful ad
juvaut in the proper management of those fearful
and often fatal diseases, yet I deem it very neces
sary that each patient should have the benefit of
both general and local treatment. The success of
my treatment in the above diseases, and the high
character of the Institution over which I have so
long had the honor to preside, arc too well known
to need any eulogy or comment from me. -At the
solicitation of many private and professional
friends, through whose philanthropic aid the above
charity has been long and liberally supported. and
after due consideration. 1 have concluded to make
such arrangements as will bring the benefits of my
experience and treatment within the reach of all,
and not confine myself, as heretofore, to those on
ly who entered the Infirmary, or who were able to
visit me at my office. Hoping therefore that the
arrangement will give entire satisfaction, both to
my professional brethren and the public, I would
respectfully announce in conclusion, that I can
now be consulted personally or by letter, on all dis
cases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Institution, prepared to suit each in
dividual case. Inhaling I apors. Medical Inha
lers. ic, y , will be forwarded by express to any
part of the United States or the Canadas. Teuus
My terms of treatment by letter are as follows,
viz: $12 per month for each patient, which will
include medicine sufficient for one month's use;
also, Inhaling Vapor, and on Inhaling Apparatus.
Payment as follows : &rt to be paid to Express A
gent on receipt of tho box of Medicine, and the
balance SG nt the expiration of the month, if the
patient be cured or is entirely satisfied with the
treatment. Patients, by giviug a full history of
theirease. and their symptoms in full, can be treat
ed as well by letter as by personal examination.
Patients availing themselves of Dr. Jarrett's treat
ment may rely upon immediate and permanent
relief, ns be seldom has to treat a case over thirty
days. Letters for advice promptly answered. For

milE GREATEST BIOGRAPHY OF
A THE AGE. NOW READY: THE
LIFE OF THOMAS JFFFERSON. I, He,,.
ry S. Randall, BL. J. In & volumes, octavo.
J bis work contains up wards of 2,000 pages, is prin
ted ou line paper, and handsomely bound in va
rious styles. Its illustrated by several engrav
ings on steel, and numerous fac similes ; among
the former arc two fine portraits of Jrfferson. The
facsimiles embrace, among others, the original
draft of the Declaration of Independence, in Jef
ferson's own hand-writing.
This is, in every sense, an authorized trorh ; it
was undertaken under the approbation of his fam
ily, and with an unreserved access to all the pri
vate papers of Jefferson in their possession ; aud
has received the benefit of their recollections and
opinions ot every step.
The work contains the expressions of Jefferson
on every great public question which arose, from
his advent to public life to bis death a period of
about sixty years, and embracing the whole form
ing period of the Republic. It contains Jeffer
son's heretofore unpublished family correspon
dence ; selections from his finest published letters,
state papers, etc., etc , etc.
OPINIONS OF TIIE PRESS.
'"So other Life of Jefferson ever published
probably none that ever trill be published can
bear any comparison to this in thorougness, full
ness of incident and conscientious fidelity
This biography has evidently been a labor of love,
and the years of patient, assiduous toil it has costj
have been given with ungrudging, untiring enthu
siasm." New- York Tribune.
"At length the public have a Life of Ihomas Jef
ferson that is not only fascinating, and therefore
sure to be popular, bu one that will stand the es
sential historic test that of accuracy and truth
fulness. It is seen that tho ground-work of the
whole is authentic cotcmporary material, and of
the highest order. Togather it has been the work
ofyears. We would not compare this volume with
that inimitable and incomparable biography of
Boswcll. and yet so faithful is the portraiture that
Jefferson is made to draw of himself, that his na
ture, his very soul, is deliniatcd with a distinct
ness not unlike that in which Johnson stands out
in the pages of Boswcll.'" lioston Post.
"Imbued with that enthusiastic admiration of
his subject, without which a biographer is rarely
successful. Mr. Randall nevertheless does not seek
to hide whatever faults he may find, cither from
himself or from the reader. He prints the picture
as Cromwell insisted his should be painted, "warts
and all." The picture gains by this in life-like
coloring, without losing any of its majestic propor
tions." Albany Evening Journal.
"No one who runs his eye, however casually, o
vcr this work, will fail to be satisfied that Mr.lian
dall has added very largely to the stock of the
world's information about Jefferson, that he has
had access to sources hitherto unexplored, and that
he has done more than was ever done by any one
before him to illustrate the personality of that
great statesman.'' N. 1. Evening Post.
"We have read with delight Mr. Randall's cap
tivating details of Mr. Jefferson's personal histors, ,
which he has scduously gathered, and admirably
grouped together, from a great variety of authen
tic sources, hitherto unexplored. Out of the tempt- j
ing richness of his materials, the able and clear- I
sighted author has constructed a book, at once most
entertaining and instructive one that should be
studied by every patriot of the land." Rirli
momi, Va., Ewmrer.
"There can be only one opinion as to the abili
ty, general impartiality and industry which Mr.
Randall has brought into combination in the com
position of this biography. . He has
worthily executed a much wanted book." Phit-
adeJphiu Press.
"It will take place among the choicest classics
of American literature, and bo consulted by eve
ry future historian of this countrv." Philndel.
jdiia Everting Bulletin.
"e like it because it neither conceals, palliates,
exaggerates, nor distorts, but approaches, in every
instance, and m every particular, the career of
the noble character whose opinions have done so
much to shape the domestic and foreign policy of
the notion he contributed so greatly to call into
existence." JV. O. True Djta.
