The fallowing are the directions of Dr. DODD for this disease "In &li cises we must endeavor to give the frog a bearing on the ground, and in order to do this the shoe ought to be re moved.

A very popular notion exists, that cow meas ure has a powerful effect on a contracted hoof, bat it is the candid opinion of the author, and no doubt the reader will coin cide that filth and dirt of every kind are unfavorable to healthy action. Such rem edy, aside from its objection on the score of desccncy, savors too much of bv-gone days, when live eels were sent on an errand down horse's throats to unravel their iutes tincs. If any benefit belongs to such an objectionable application, it is due to the property it posesses of retaining moisture; therefore cold poultices and water arc far superior. Clay and moist earth, placed in the stall for the horse to stand on, are far inferior to a stuffing of wet oakum, which can be removed at pleasure.

Why Females Suffer in Health. No woman of delicacy is willing to disclose the peculiar ailments incident to her sex, even to a most Intimate family physician. This modesty and delicacy is implanted by nature, and neither should nor need be subject ed to the rude shocks inevitable in making known to the other sex those ailments belonging exclusively to the female. Except in extreme cases, her sensitivencs will sacrifice her health rather than her delicacy The consequences are serious, lamentablh and life-long. Thus what at first could have been easily rem edied, or perhaps better still, not incurred, be comes a complication of diseases, not only ru ining the health of the mother, and embitterin her days by sickness and suffering, hut entailing broken constitutions upon her children, ang emliarrassing, if not distressing, the business and pecuniary prospects of the husband. Let eve ry sensible woman TAKE \VAU\l\ft IA TIME (as thousands have done) by the bitter experi ence and sufferings of others, of the dreadful conseq jences she entails upon herself and those endeared to her, by her ignorance of the sim plest and plainest rules of health us connected with the marriage state, the violation of which entails disease, suffering and misery. How many are suffering from obstructions or irregularities peculiar to the female system, which undermino the health, the effects of w-hion they are ignoianf, and for which their del icacy forbids seeking medical advice! How many anffer from prolapsus uteri (tailing of the womb,) or from fluor alius (weakness, debility. Sec.)! How many are in constant agony fori many months preceding confinement! How ma-' ny have difficult, if not dangerous deliveries, and slow and uncertain recoveries! To the question, how are these to he preven ted ? what shall be done ? the answer is simple. Let every woman ascertain for herself, without violence to her delicacy, f he nature and charac ter of the ailment (to which she as a female is subject) the causes from which it may arise, and the proper remidies for its cure and future pre vention. This she can do by possessing a little volume (already possessed by thousands) whtch tells her wiiat is the matter, and tells her what to do for it, in simple but chaste words, and such as she can understand. This little volume is entitled THE MJJRRIED WOMJIJY'S PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION, BY DR. A. M. MAURICE ALL PROFESSOR OP DISEASES OF WCMEK. One Hundredth Edition (500,000) 18mo., pp. 26fl [ON FINE PAPER,.EXTRA BINDING, sl.] A standard work of established reputation found classed in the Catalogues of the great Trade Sales in New York, Philadelphia, and other cities, and sold by the principal l.ooksel ,ers in the United States. It was first published u 1847. since which time iFLVE HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES have been sold, of which there were upwards of ONE HUNDHED THOUSAND SENT BY MAIL, attesting the high estimation in which it held as a reliable popular medical BOOK FOR EVERY FEMALE the author having devoted his exclusive atten tion to the treatment of complaints peculiar to N'emales, in respeet to which he is yearly con sulted by thousands, both in person and bv letter. Here every woman can discover, by compa ring her own symptoms with those described, the nature, chaiacter, causes of, and the proper remedies for, her complaints. The wife about becoming a mother has often need of instruction and advice of the utmost importance to her future health, will find such instruction and advicre, and also explain many symptoms which otherwise would occasion anxi ety or alarm, asall the peculiarities incident to her situation are described. It is of course impracticable to convey fully the various subjects treated of, as they are of a nature strictly intended for the married or those contemplating marriage. The revelations con tained in its pages have proved a blessing to thousands, as the inunmerable letters received by the author (which he is permitted by the wri ters to publish) will attest. Extract of a I.otier from a gentleman in Dayton, Ohio : DATTOK, May 1, 1847. Dr. .1. M. Mauriceau; "My wife has been perceptibly sinking for some three years or more, in consequence of her great anguish and suffering some months be fore and during confinement; every successive one more and more debilitated and prostrated her, putting her life in imminent danger, and which was on the last occasion despaired of. I supposed that this state of things was inevitable, and assigned myself to meet the worst. At this time (now about two months) I heard your book highly spoken of, as containing some matter reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal. I cannot express to you the relief it afforded my distressed mind, and the joy its pages imparted to my wife, on learning the great discovery of M. M. Desomeaux provided a remedy. It open ed sv prospectto me which I little conceived was possible. No pecuniary consideration can ever repay the obligations I am under to you, for having been the means of imparting to us the matters contained in "The Married Woman's Private Medical Companion." But for this, ere another year wonld have passed over my head, in all hnman probability my wife would have loien in hei grave and my children left mother less."

These pills possess a specific action on the ner vous system, and, although they are prepared especially for the purpose of curing Fits, they will be found of especial benctit for all persons afflicted with weak nerves, or whose nervous system has beep prostrated or shattered from any cause whatever. In chronic complaints, or diseases of long standing, superinduced by ner vousness, they are exceedingly beneficial. Testimony in favor of Ihe Vege table Extract Epileptic Pills.

Dear Sir—Having been afflicted for some years past with Faliißg Fits, I saw your adver tisement, and determined to give your pills a trial, and I am happy to say that since 1 com menced the use of them, I have not had an at tack. I believe them to be a first rate article, for, as 1 have writteu to yu in a former letter i I was attacked every two weeks, but since 1 have been using them I have not had an attack.

Dear Sir—lt is now ten months since my wife hud any of those nervous attacks. She thinks she is cured. She has not had any symptoms ot the disease for the last nine months. She took your Vegetable Extract Pills for about four months, and discontinued them jour months since. Mrs. S. was treated by the best old school physicians in the State for ten years,then by the best Homoepathic for eighteen months, without acure. It is to your Vegetable Ex tract Pills, and with strict regard to diet, that we ascribe her enre of the most dreadful dis ease that pvei afflicted the human family. I wish every persou afflicten with Epilepsy had this medicine, aud would give it a thorough trial.— it may not cure in all cases, but iu this it has performed wonders. A VERY REMARKABLE CURE. Milledgeville, Ga. December 17; 1852. J Dear Sir—l wish to inform yon that ona o my family has been afflicted with FITS tor a number of years, and seeing an advertisement in a news paper, concerning your Vegetable Ex tract Epileptic Pills, I came to the conclusion, after trying almost-very physician in my reach! and all having failed in relieving my "child of the disease, to send for six boxes of your pills, which proved an effectual cure for my daughter, who is now about 18 years of age. 1 think j there is no other medicine in use equal to them, j and I will be forever grateful to you for the use i of them for my daughter whom it has cured. Yours, respectfully. Nervous and Constitutional Disea ses. These pills possess a specific actior on the nerveus system, and although they are prepa red especially for the purpose of curing Fits they will be found of especial benefit to all per son afflicted with weak nerves, or whose ner vous system has been prostrated or shattered from any cause whatever; in fact it is almost impossible to convey an adequate idea of the peedy and almost miraculous results which these pills effect in the diseased, broken down tr -.arostrated nervous systems. Persons who were all lassitude, weaknesss and debility, be fore their use, at once become robust and full ol energy. Xo matter whether the constitution has been broken down by excess, weak by na ture, or debilitated by sickness, the:r effect on the unstrung and shattered uervous organiza tion is equally certain and apparent. In cases of neuralgia, headache, vertigo, pain in the nerves of the face, and the various train of ner vous affections, palpitation of the heart, period ical headaches, cold and shivered state of the frame, frequent fits of abstraction, total inabili ty, dislike to society, melancholy, religious mo nomania, heats and flushes of the face of! the slightest occasion, a desire that existence should terminate; they will produce a cure in an aston ishingly short period of time, and it will also remove depression, excitement, a tendency to blush, restlessness, sleeplessness,incapacity for study or business, loss of memory, confusion, giddiness, blood to the head, mental debility, hysteria, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of self destruction, fear of insanity, &c.,"&c. They will increase and restore the appetite strengthen the emaciated, renew the health of those wbo have destroyed it by exc. sses, and induce continual cheerfulness and equanimity of spirits, and prolong life.

PIUS NONSENSE. The following is the rediculous conclusion of a recent "circular letter" put forth by 'this Reverence, the Bishop cf Newark " "We appoint the month of December the time during which thoTriduuin granted granted by our Holy Father Pope pius IX by his rescription of the 21st of January 1855, sLall be celebrated in this diocese.— We allow the several pastors to choose, at their discretion, any three successive days doting that month, for their respective congregations—arranging the time with the neighboring clergy, in order they mav assist one another in hearing confession* and giving the necessary instructions To all who assist devotedly at the relij;. iou exercises on any of these tbr-e day , the Holy Father grants a partial indulgence of seven years; and a {denary indulgence t those who attend during the entire Triduum confess their sins with humility and contr.- tion, receive the Holy Communion, and, the last of the three days, offer pr.vrers to God, according to the intention of Lis hoh ncss. These indigencies may be applied, byway of suffrage, to the 3ouls in Purga tory. His Holiness has also granted, that od each of three days, one mass of the Im maculate Conception of the Virgin Marr may be celebrated, with or w ithout singing. We also give permission for the benediction of the Messed sacrament on those days Given at our residence at Newirlc. this Bth day of November, A. D. 1855, being the octave of the feast of all Saints. f JAMES, Bisliop of Newark. By order of the lit. Rev. Bishop, Victor Beaudevin. Secretary." The credit of these" exorcises" to be ap plied to helping along the souls in Purga -1 tory! In other words, says the New York Mirror, obey the priesthood—do just'is the Holy Humbug commands, and HE will as sume the prerogative of God, and grant to* sinner all sorts of "indulgences'' here and absolute absolution hereafter. If this fool's logic is not blasphemous nonsense, we don't know how else to characterize it. It is pa— sing strange that any HONEST mind can he deluded by such religious Peler-Funk istn. A POINTED INQIIRT. —'Couldn't pu get young pork, ma'am, to bake with your beans'' said old Roger, somewhat cynically, as he sat at the table, on Sunday. 'They told me it was young,' said the landlady. 'Well, it may be so, but gray hair is nt a juvenile feature, by any means, in our lat itude, ma'am,' continued he, fishing up a hair about a foot and a half long, with his fork. 'He may have been young, hut he must have lived a very wicked life to be gr; so soon.' As he spoke, he looked along the table and a slight emotion was visible among tbr boarders, and the mau who sat oposite, wiio his mouth full of the edibles, with which i.<• had been endeavoring to smother a laugh, grew dark with the effort, and then collap sed, scattering dismay and crumbs ainid the nicely platted folds of old Rogers' shut frills .
