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
aiJcd not a tittle 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, Lungs, and Air-passages. By Inhalation,
the vapor and curative properties of medicines are
directly addressed to the diseased organsof the in
tegument. I do not advise the nse of Medical In
halation of any kind, to the 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 the 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 mako
such arrangements as will bring the benefits of my
experience and treatment within the reac-h 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, T would
respectfully annonnce in concluMon, that 1 can.
now be consulted personally or by letter, on all dis
eases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Institution, prepared to suit each in
dividual case. Inhaling I aj-ors, Metlical Inha
lers, ire., rc , will be forwarded by express to any
part of the United States or the Canadas. Terms
My terms of treatment by letter are as follows,
viz: 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: Sti to be paid to Express A
gent on receipt of the box of Medicine, and the
balance &6 at the expiration of the month, if the
patient be cured oris entirely sau'sficd with the
treatment. Patients, by giving a full history of
theircaso, 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 advice promptly answered. For
further particulars address

most severe MENTAL AND PHY'SICAL diorder
to which the race of man is subject, as eurefu! aa
r!asis and long and painful experience have clear

HAMMONTON LANDS .V EngUnd
Settlement. Rare Opportunity. Tip mil
xranting parms in a healthy place. twJirr-f4
miles from Philadelphia, on the Camden and At
lantic Railroad. New Jersey. An o4 estate ha
recently been opened for sale, and the first divi
sion of 10.000 acres divided up into farms of JO a
cres and npwards. The soil is of th bst quality
for the production of fruits, grains, Ae. The priee
is 515 to 520 per acre, payable in eay quarter
yearly instalments, within a term cf four years,
wi'h interest. The terms are made easy, in rder
to insure the r.ipid improvement of the land, by
enabling er.'ry nisittstnof man to buy a farm. It
is now being extensively improved by good roads,
and some ot the best citizens from New England
and the Middle States are erecting large improve
ments. It is a scene of the greatest improvement
out of Philadelphia Seventy-five houses have
been built in 4 months. Practical farmers aud bu
siness men from the length and breadth of the U
uion are settling there. It is an important busi
ness place, on account of its being in the midst of
a great market. Every article raised on this land
fin Is aa immediate sale. The water is excellent,
and do suth thing as fever is known. The soil ia
a saiidy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and r
tfutttc of manures. It is free of stones and easily
worked. It abounds largely in tbe phosphates,
and such is its fertility that from the eropi pre-
duced both upon this "land and tbe area adjoin
ing under cultivation, it will be found r.ot lo be
excelled an where in the production of crops mo it
adapted to its market. The reader raay be well
aware that the earliest and the best fruits and veg
etables come from New Jersey, which are annual
ly exported to the amount of miliiens of dollars.
'Ihe land, besides being accessible in every way
for fertilizers, has an abundant supply of the be
quality f muck manure.
Lumber and building materials can be bad on
the spot at a cheap price, from the mills Other
mills are now being opened, and brickyards being
started ou the ground. A person can put np a
frame tenement for present convenience for one
hundred dollars. Ou accountof the extensive em
igration, this is the best course to pursue in order
toget a place to live in at first. Carpenters and buil
de rs are on hand to put np houses on the best terms.
In settling here tbe emigrant has many advan
tages. He is w ithin a few hours" ride of ihe great
cities in the Middle States and New England ; be
is near his old fiiends and associations; he it in a
settled country, wh-re every improvement and
comfort of civilization is at hand ; he is in a heal
thy place, and is not subject to the certainty of
losing the greater part of his family and bis owa
health by those malignant fevers whieh make tho
graves of so many millions of the young and har
' faroff regions away from home aud friend.
Besides, he has a mild climate and an open winter.
There are three trains daily to Philadelphia
and to all those who improve the railroad coinpa
ny gives a free ticket.
The reader will at once be struck with the ad
vantages here presented, and ask himself whv th.
property has not been taken up before. The' rea
son is, it was never thrown in the market ; and an
jess these statements were correct no one would bo
invited to examine the land before purchasing.
This all are expected to do. They will see the land
under cultivation;, they will meet persons, ro
doubt, from their own neighborhood ; they wilt
witness tbe improvements, and can judge of th
character of the populat ion. Persons should come
prepared to purchase, as many are locating, ami
locations arc not helJ on refusal.
