A CARD FROM DR. JAMES M. JAR
RETT, OF THE NEW-YORK LUNG IN
FIRMARY. My connection 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, together with my unrivalled op
portunities and advantage of pathological research
aided not a little by a perfect system of 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, Lit ngs, a nd A ir-pisagcs. By Inhalation,
tbe vapor and curative properties of medicines are
directly addressed to tbe diseased organs of the in
tegument. I do not advise tbe use of Medical In
halation of any kind, to tha. exclusion of general
treatment ; and although I consider it a useful ad
juvant 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 tbe Institution over which I have so
long had the honor to preside, are 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 annonnoe in conclusion, tbat lean
note be consulted personally or dy letter, on all dis
eases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Institution, prepared to suit each in
dividual ease, lahalins apors, Jlledical Inha
lers. i-c, Sre , will be forwarded by express to any
part of the United Slates or the Canadas. Terms
My terms of treatment by letter are as follows,
vix : S12 per month for each patient, which will
include medicine sufficient for one month's use;
also. Inhaling Vapor, and an Inhaling Apparatus.
Payment as follows : S( to be paid to Express A
gent on receipt of the box of Medicine, and the
balance S6 at the expiration of the month, if the
patient be cured or is entirely satisfied with the
treatment. Patients, by giving a full history of
theircase, 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, as he seldom has to treat a case over thirty
days. Letters for ad vice promptly answered. For
further particulars address

TIIE GREATEST IJIOGRAPHY OF
TIIE AUK. NOW READY: TIIE
LIFE OF THOMAS JEFFERSON, by Hen-
ry S. Hirisdall. LL. I. In 3 volumes, octavo.
This work contains upwardsof 2,000 pages, is prin
ted on fine paper, and handsomely bound in va
rious styles. It is illustrated by several engrav
ings on stel, and numerous fae siirnle. ; among
the former aro two fine portraits of Jefferxon. The
facsimiles embrace, among others, tbe original
draft cf the Declaration of Independence, in Jef
ferson's own hand-writing. '
This is, in every sense, an authorized tcorl ; it
was undertaken under the approbation of his fam
ily, and with an unreserved access to all the pri
vate papers of Je2ersn in their possession; and
has received the benefit of their recollections and
opinions at every step.
The work contains the expressions of Jefferson
on every great public question whieh arose, from
his advent to public life to his 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 fiom his finest published letters,
state papers, etc., etc , etc.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
-No other Life of Jefferson ever published
probably none that ever trill be published can
bear any comparison to this in thorougness, full
cess of incident and conscientious fidelity
This biography has evidently been a labor of love,
and the years of patient, assiduous toil it has cost,
have been given with ungrudging, untiring enthu
siasm." Nctr- Yori Trtbitnt.
'At length the public have a Life of Thomas 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 the ground-work of the
whole is authentic cotemporary material, and of
the highest order. To gather it has been the work
of years. We would not compare this volume with
that inimitable and incomparable biography of
Boswell, and yet so faithful is the portraiture that
Jefferson is made to draw of himself, that his na
ture, his very soul, is deliniated with a distinct
ness not unlike that in which Johnson stands out
in the pages of Boswell.'" Boston 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, either 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
ver this work, will fail to be satisfied that Mr.Kan
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 bas done more than was ever done by any on
before him to illustrate the personality of that
great statesman." N. Y. Evening Post.
-We have read with delight Mr". Randall's cap
tivating details of Mr. Jefferson's personal history,
which he has seduously gathered, and admirably
grouped together, from a great variety of authen
tic sources, hitherto unexplored. Out of the tempt
ing richness of bis materials, the able and clear
sighted author bas constructed a book, at once most
entertaining and instructive one that should be
studied by every patriot of the land." Rich
mond, Fa.. Enfutrer.
"There can be only one opinion as to the ability-
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." Phil
adelphia Press.
'-It will take place among the choicest classics
of American literature, and be consulted by eve
ry future historian of this country." Philadel
phia Evening Bulletin.
'We like it because it neither conceals, palliates,
exaggerates, nor distorts, but approaches, in every
instance, and in every particular, the career of
tne noble character whose opinions cave done so
much to shape the domestie and foreign polio y of
the notion he contributed so greatly to call into
existence." IV. O. True DJta.

1TTO! YE HUNGRY AND TfllRSTY!
Al The appeasing of hunger and the quench
ing of thirst, is a matter that has attracted the at
tention of rcany wise heads in various ages ot the
world. What conclusions they have arrived at,
and what theories they have propagated, it is need
less to mention here. In these latter daysmen
have conceived tbe idea tbat tbe '-inner mau" can

Clearfield, Pa. One of the rooms is neatly furn
ished with carpets, stands, Ac, and is designed for
the accommodation of ladies. He ba3 had consid

flatters himself able to render satisfaction. During
the summer he will constantly keep on hand thebest
