JOHN BULL'S UNITED STATES ALMANAC 1856/ BY DR by dr. 4^t>T STKfc^1 Prefatory Remarks I>y the Proprietor and Publisher. In issuing this present number of my UNITED STATES ALMANAC for the year 1856 to the public, free of any charge, I feel constrained to give some explanatory reasons for so doing. The book is full of scientific, useful, and daily practical information alike to the Farmer, the Man of Science, the Merchant and the Mechanic, one and all can find some information in it, suited to each and every of the 365 days of the coming year, the eightieth year of our glorious Independence, 1856. My object in distributing this Almanac to the "Millions," free of charge and at great cost to myself, is not merely to inform them of the day of the Month, Changes of the Moon, Moveable Feasts, and High Church days, but also to put them in possession of more important and philanthropic information of how they may obtain and use the most effectual and valuable medicinal remedies ever produced in the known world,—remedies which have saved many valuable lives and will doubtless under Providence save many more to future years of usefulness and joy to their families, themselves and the communities in which they may reside. All I ask then is that you read and ponder well the excellent virtues of these remedies, and if your neighbor has no such Almanac, get him one or lend iim yours; not forgetting freely you have received, freely bestow.

Many physicians express themselves strongly in the belief that it is decidedly the best preparation of Sarsaparilla that has ever been placed before the public. Although there are many physicians who feel a reluctance to having their names appended to the recommendation of any particular remedy, notwithstanding they may approve of it in the highest, degree, there are others who frankly yield their support in favor of a reme- dy which they know is capable of doing so much good in an afflicted community. As an evi- dence, read the following from old and respectable physicians, of high standing in the commu- nity in which they live : • TESTIMONY! Testiii oiv like the following renders superfluous all comments on the efficacy of Bull's Sar- saparilla From Dr. L. P Vandell, Professor of Chemistry in the Louisville Medical College: I have I* >ked over the list of ingredients composing John Bull's Compound Extract of Sar- saparilla, and have no hesitation in saying that they form a safe compound, and one that promi- ses well in Chronic diseases to which it is applicable. Louisville, June 6, 1848. L. P. YANDELL, M. D. What Dr. Pyles, Physician hy appointment to the Louisville Marine Hospital, says of Bull's Sarsaparilla: Louisville, March 20, 1849. I have examined the prescription for the preparation of John Bull's Sarsaparilla, and I be- lieve the combination to be an excellent one, and well calculated to produce an alterative im- pression on the system. I have used it both in public and private practice, and think it the best article of Sarsaparilla now in use. M. PYLES, M. D. Resident Physician of Louisville Marine Hospital. Loudon, Ky., April 25th, 1850. Sir,—Permit me to address to you a few lines. I am a graduate of Transylvania Medical University: I have practised medicine in this wilderness country about five years, but owing to exposure to bitter cold weather, I have been indisposed with acute Rheumatism about six months. After having exhausted my skill in the treatment of my case, and derived no benefit, I was induced to give your Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla a fair trial, and accordingly purchased a bottle of your medicine from your agent, Mr. George P. Brown, about two weeks ago, and I must confess that one bottle has entirely cured me. It is my opinion that your preparation of Sarsaparilla is decidedly superior to any other pre- paration now in use, and I will take great pleasure in recommending it to the afflicted as being a remedial agent, and I will advise the physicians to use it in their practice, w Snglani States, Canada, Xeiv-Ynrk, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, North Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, lllmms, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Missoun, and North California Lat. of Boston. £> ? 6 $ Sirius south 8h. 50m. 7) 2d Sunday in Lent.

Read the opinion of these EMINENT DIVINES* Rev E. W. Sehon,-Bev. E. Stevenson. Conclusive.—The following is a verbatim copy of a certificate now in the possession of the proprietor of Bull's Sarsaparilla. Rev. E. W. Sehon is widely and generally known as an eloquent and accomplished pastor of the M. E. Church, and Ilev. E. Stevenson has been known as one of the most talented and zealous members that the Kentucky Conference could boast of for many years, and at this time is filling the high and responsible station of agent for the M E Book Concern. Can the world produce better or more satisfactory testimony in favor of any medicine I Better testimony than was ever offered in favor of any medicine.— Rev. E. W. SEHON,—Rev. E. STEVENSON: Louisville, May 20th, 1849. We have used John Bull's Sarsaparilla, and have known it to be used with entire satisfac- tion ; and we have no hesitation in stating our belief, that it is a safe and valuable medical compound, and calculated to produce much good and relieve much suffering; and therefore would cheerfully and most earnestly recommend it to the afflicted. E. W. SEHON, (Signed,) E. STEVENSON. We earnestly invite all persons who are suffering with any of "the ills that flesh is heir to," to call on Dr. John Bull's agent, and get a copy of Bull's Family Journal gratis ; and for the sake of humanity, we hope that a single individual will not be found unwilling to give Bull's Sarsaparilla a trial, after reading, and recollecting at the same time, that it is impossible for the Doctor to publish the tenth part of the number of certificates of astounding cures performed by his Sarsaparilla. The amount of testimony voluntarily showered on Dr Bull's Sarsaparilla, from well-known and distinguished individuals, both in public and private life, has been per- fectly overwhelming. Parents Read! Mr John Bull--Dear Sir: I take great pleasure in stating to you and the public that I have tested the value of Bull's Sarsaparilla. For about four years my oldest child has been greatly afflicted with something very similar to Scrofula, and was 6aid by several physicians to be that disease. I used several remedies with but little or no effect, and I obtained a bottle of Bull's Sarsaparilla and it gave much elief. I have since used five or six bottles, and I am happy to say that she is about well, and the bottle she is now using, will, I believe, make a permanent cure. Very respectfully, * J. N. WRIGHT, General and Real Estate Agent, No. 76 Third-st., Louisville, Ky. The following letter was handed us by Dr. John Bull. It is but one of the many letters that speak in like praise of his Sarsaparilla.—Dem. r r Baltimore, Nov 20th, 1850. Dr. John Bull.—Dear Sir : Passing through your city, a short time since, I accidentally came across a number of your Family Journal. Previous to that, I was not aware of the existence of your compound. As a dernier resort, I determined to try the efficacy of medicine for severe chronic rheumatism, with which I have been suffering for some years past; and to my utter astonishment and delight, on my arrival here, I found myself greatly improved, having received more relief from your valuable compound, than any preparation I have ever yet tried. As you have no agency here, the first opportunity I have I will send for more. I give you this testi- mony of the .great relief afforded me with the most sincere pleasure, and I feel sure a few more bottles will entirely restore me. I would advise you by all means to establish an agency in this nlace • it onlv requires that your invaluable preparation be generally known to be appreciated. F ' J n Truly yours, SAMUEL NEWMAN. Russelvii.lb, Jan. 17, 1850. Dr John Bull,—I wish you to send me six dozen of your Sarsaparilla, as I have not more than thirty bottles on hand, and I think the quantity I now order will last me until March, when I will be in your city. Your Sarsaparilla is getting unbounded popularity in this section of the State, and your name is getting to be as familiar here as it is in Louisrille. Please ship as before, as soon as you receive this. W A LINEBAUGH. nuaHMAMB ■■I MHHMWNWWm ■amr The Third Month, or MARCH, 1856. Calculated for the Lati'udes of the New-England States.

Dr. John Bull,—Dear Sir :— I have recently been induced to try your Sarsaparilla, although I frankly confess that I considered my case was such that neither your Sarsaparilla or any other medicine could reach ray disease. I have had, as f thought, as good medical advice as New-York Could give, and the medicines that had heretofore helped me, failed to afford me any relief. I therefore concluded my stay on earth waj quite short, and gave up all hopes of ever being able to be around my house again, and requested my husband never to lay out another shilling for medi- cine for me. I was so low and prostrated by fever and excruciating pains in my bones, that I could not turn in bed without shrieking, the agony I felt being so great; indeed, language cannot describe the misery I experienced. Besides, at times, in addition to the above, I had the utmost difficulty in getting my oreath. By the persuasion of my friends and my husband, I tried the " Kentucky Remedy," and the very first day I took it I experienced some relief, and before I had taken the first bottle the misery in my bones had left me, and before the second bottle was taken, the fever also left me entirely; and the difficulty I had in breathing, has been relieved in a most wonderful and surprising manner, and I attribute my present state of health, under Providence, to the medical virtues and efficacy of your Sarsaparilla. I ought, perhaps, to state that, contrary to the expectation of myself, my husband, family, and friends, I am better in body than I have been for some months, and weH enough to attend to the duties of my family, for which I feel I have cause for thankfulness. MARGARET KEEGAN Saltersvillb, Hudson Co., New Jersey, May 1st. 1855. ^ I hereby certify that I have been acquainted with Mrs. Margaret Keegan, wife of Mr Thomas Keegan, whose certificate appears above, for about seven years; and do affirm, that the state- ments there made are true, and that not the slightest exaggeration in the case has been made. Both Mrs. Margaret Keegan and Mr. Thomas Keegan are reliable persons, and are so regarded and held by all who have any acquaintance with them here. JOHN ELDERSON. State of New-York, ) City and County of New-York, VSS' Robert B.

Deponent further says, that he knows John Eldarson, and has known him for the past fifteen years, that said John Elderson is a person of good character, whose word is entitled to great weight, and who would not on any account state any thing which was not correct.

JOHN BULL'S SARSAPARILLA Is a certain cure for this painful malady; because it removes from the system those humors which are the cause not only of Gout and Rheumatism, but of every ache and pain we suffer. Two table-spoonfuls taken every night on going to bed, or if the pain is severe, night and morning, will in a short time make a perfect cure of the most violent attack, either of Rheuma- tism or Gout: at the same time the blood and other fluids will be so completely purified that pain of every description will be literally driven from the body. MERCURIAL COMPLAINTS. To all who are suffering from injudicious and excessive use of Mercury, with lameness, stiff- ness of the joints, pains in the bones and joints, cramps, mercurial rheumatism, &c, &c, we would recommend this potent remedy. It will thoroughly and effectually cleanse the system from the mercurial taint. 81-- 1. 19 1 The Fourth Month, or APBIL, 1856.

DR JOHN Bl LL—Dear Sir: Being on a visit to Louisville, among my friends, I with much pleasure record.my name among many others who have received permanent benefit from the use of your Sarsaparilla. I was a severely afflicted man for several years. My case baffled the skill of scientific physicians ; indeed, I was given up to die by my friends, my system hav- ing been reduced from hundred and fifty down to seventy or eighty pounds weight. I was afflicted with Chronic Diarrhoea and Diabetes, and indeed a complication of diseases was in my system ; one doctor even told me I had symptoms of Consumption. My case seemed more | than a match for all medical advisers; it set at defiance the consultations and deliberations of the Old School doctors Finding no relief from the regular practitioners, I tried your Sarsa- parilla, and my physician hearing of it, told me to continue taking it, if I found it to do me any good ; that temporary relief was all I could expect, as he could do nothing for me. I con- tinued taking your compound, and to my astonishment I very soon experienced renovation and soundness of body. By the use of your S irsaparilla, I have exchanged disease for health, pain for ease, sorrow for joy, and my life is being prolonged to a good old age. I attribute the pre- servation of my life and health to the use of your Sarsaparilla. (Signed) CAPT. JAMES S. HACKLY. Sta-w; of Kentucky, Jefferson County. This day, James S.

If the following cures, performed alone by BULL'S SARSAPARILLA, are not wonders, then we acknowledge that we do not know the meaning of the word, Read, and be convinced that facts are stranger than fiction:— Line P. 0., Fulton Co., Ky , Oct. 1, 1851. Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: The two dozen of your Sarsaparilla, ordered in September, came to hand, and, in acknowledging the receipt of the same, I feel I would be doing you injustice to withhold the following, among the many of the instances that have come under my observa- tion, during the last two years, of the great curative properties of your Sarsaparilla Mrs. Jeanette Martin, a highly respectable lady of my neighborhood, aged sixty-five years, had been long afflicted with a cancerous ulcer, which finally reduced her to so helpless a condition that she could not leave her bed. She tried the best medical advice in our country, without relief, and had given up all hopes of a cure. At this stage of her case, I persuaded her son to take a bottle of your Sarsaparilla. He did so, and in a short time returned and purchased another bottle, stating the first had had a decidedly good effect. She continued to use it until, after the use of five or six bottles, I had the pleasure of seeing the old lady herself at church. She assured me that she had almost entirely recovered her health, and from her I received the account of her disease, and in about the same words I give it to you. This is but one of a number of cures under my observation—of very remari^le ones—performed by the use of your Sarsaparilla, in my neighborhood. The demand for it has steadily increased since its introduc- tion here. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, WM. R. DICKINSON, P. M. Rhemnatism^of Twenty Years' Standing Cured. Dr. John Bull—Sir: I have been afflicted to a great extent for the last twenty years more or less, with rheumatic pains; a great portion of the time I was unable to get out of the house without the assistance of my cane, and I have been seriously afflicted with the Asthma. I have tried divers mediciaes but all to no effect. I have by the persuasion of my friends been induced to try a few bottles of your Sarsaparilla, and am happy to say to you that I am again walking around with much ease. The fact is, I am against quackery in all its particulars, and feel my- self under obligations to let the public know that this Sarsaparilla is not ranked among that class, for I do assure you it has made me feel like another man, which all my neighbors : now by my alteration. I am now on my third bottle and think I will not have to use it much long* r to be entirely relieved. (Signed) E. C. CARELAND. ^ryantsville, la., June 26, 1849. READ THE FOLLOWING. Louisville, March 7, 1848. Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I must ever entertain the liveliest feelings of gratitude to you, for the incredible benefit and happy relief given me by your wonderful compound extract of Sarsaparilla. I do not write you this for publication, unless you may put it to such purpose; but write to you simply to express a feeling of kindness to you, with which my bosom will, until the day of my death, remain full. The afflicting rheumatism which beset me for years, which the simple followers of the healing art term chronic rheumatism, was a thousand times worse than any other disease. The neuralgic pains and general debility which ensued there- from, compelled me to give up action, quit business, a pleasure and profit to me, and the mental pain arising from my bodily infirmity rendered me the most miserable of my Creator's handiwork. The most learned ol our physicians in my judgment, do not know the philosophy of this disease, but your preparation of Sarsaparilla, seemed to arrest my pains, and stop the ravages of disease immediately; it has made a cure in my case, and I believe in all cases, for nothing else could have relieved me; you should take great credit to yourself as the author of this me- dicine; for the appellation of quackery cannot apply to it; it answers the end lor which it was given, and will effect a cure in rheumatism, at any stage of that disease. I shall be pleased to serve y>u at any time, in any way, and can never stop thanking you for the benefit I have received at your hands, and I would go a journey of twenty miles to see one afflicted with Rheumatism as I was, to give him a bottle of your medicine, for I know it would give relief, and plant a rose instead of a thorn. Ever yours, at command, CHARLES W. SMITH. Hear what Dr. Sfapp, a physician wh > stands at the top of his profession, say* of John Bull s Sarsaparilla : I have been using John Bull's Sarsaparilla in a great variety of Chronic diseases with the most happy effects, and I have no hesitation in recommending it to the public for the cure of Scrofula, Syphilis and all cutaneous and glandular diseases.

SCROFULA CURED AND EFFECTUALLY ERADICATED BY USING We wom.o most respectfully invite the attention of our readers to the statement of Thomas N. Ringo, headed "Important to the Public," in to-day's Tribune, who was cured of a most terrible disease by the use of Dr, Bull's Sarsaparilla, Tjhis must be a medicine of great value. The commendatory notices from various respectable sources must have the effect of convincing the most incredulous of its (jreat power, in curing diseases having their origin in a depraved condition of the blood.—Pittsburgh Evening Tribune. ^ I, Thomas A. Punoo, of Graves County, Ky., for the benefit of mankind generalbyrdo hereby certify, that on or about the 16th day of October, 1847, I was attacked with a very severe pain in the lower part of the abdomen, which lasted but a few minutes, and moved into the left hip, and continued exceedingly painful for about five days, during which time I had a very light fever. At the end of that tune the fever ceased, and the pain abated for a day or two, alter which it again returned, and was much worse than before. During all this time I was under medical treatment. Frcm a ohort time after I was taken, I was unable to walk or sit up; the hip in which the pain wis so bad commenced rising, until some time in January, when it burst, and a number of pieces of bone came out—as many as twenty at least. Some of the pieces were three-fourths of an inch long. Some time after this, a hard knot appeared on the right hip, also one on my right wrist, and one on my leg below my knee. I continued to get weak and worse, and pain made its appearance in my right Moulder, and would move in my breast and stomach At !liis time all persons gave me up to die A phvsiciaji then told me that, as ■ a last remedy. I had letter use MR. BULL'S FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. ' After the use of the second bottle, the knot on my wrist commenced getting soft. I opened it, and a day or two aiVor a piece of bone came out. My wrist soon got well, and I continued to gain strength. After I used the third bottle, I could get no more for some four weeks, after which time I succe :ded in getting three more bottles. After using the three last bottles, the knot on my hip became soft; it was opened, and some corruption ran out, together with ci small piece of bone, and the sore soon get well, and the knot entirely disappeared. The *ore on n v leg also opened, and a piece of bone came out I continued the use of the Sarsaparilla until I used twelve bottler, and am now entirely Well, and am able to.do daily labor. It may seem strn.nge to some-, but I will here state that during the summer of 1849, I coughed up th.Tee ; pieces of bone, whieh can be seen at the residence of :ny uncle. Thomas Neal, where I now live; and if any persons doubt this statement, I will be happy to converse with them, if they wul call on inc. . . (Signed) THOMAS A. RINGO.

Can the reader be'ir.ve, after t vli.ig t.hr description of the above numerous cutcs, tha' there are still a few beings left suffering with disease, who refuse to give Bull's Sarsaparilla a trial i It is indeed hard to believe, but nevertheless it is too true. What kind of testimoi.y would it take to c ..vincc the few remaining disbelievers, that Bull's medicine will do more even than it promises ? The Doctor could produce another and another cure performed by his medicine; but if the cases published above will not convince the skeptical, it is useless to pro- duce any more; and, indeed, it would cost a fortune, to publish tbo many certificates that hi-.ve been showered on Dr. Bull.

VW After having the best medical advice and treatment, see what Bull's Sarsaparilla has done for Mr. Clyne's child. New Albany, April 16, 1849. This is to certify that my daughter Josephine, who is now seven years old, was afflicted from birth with swellings of the glands of the throat, and parts adjacent, which frequently broke out in running sores; and also with a very trouble- some discharge from the ears, which continued for about five years or upwards, and although a great variety of prescriptions and medicines were made and used by physicians who were considered the most skilful in the profession, she found little or no relief, until after the use of John Bull's compound extract >nd fluid of Sarsaparilla one quart bottle, and part of another of which has effected a perfect cure. And I take much pleasure in recommending the use of said medicine to all who may be similarly afflicted. Yours, MICHAEL CLINE. From Mr. S. A. Atchison, an old resident of Warren county, Kentucky, and a more truthful man does not live : Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir—I have been using your valuable extract of Sarsaparilla in my family for more than a year, and have recently been induced to try its virtues in a case of scrofula of the most inveterate character. The subject is a negro woman some twenty-three years of age. The disease had been running on her some time, and she had been under the medical treatment of an eminent physician. When I commenced with your Sarsaparilla she was perfectly prostrated and diseased all over: she has taken but two bottles and I never have witnessed such a change in so short a time, and to all appearance she is rapidly recovering. When I commenced your treatment 1 did not believe 6he could live one week—she is rapidly regaining strength, and has a good appetite, and her skin has changed from an ashy dead- ness to a healthful character. I make this statement for the benefit of the afflicted alone, which you may U6e as you think proper. Yours, respectfully, S. A. ATCHISON. Bovi.e County, Ky., Oct. 6, 1851. Dr. John Bull: Dear Sir—I have seen the most marvellous cure of one of my patients, by your valuable medicine—an old lady who had been afflicted from her childhood with scrofula and various diseases of the brain. She was sixty years old. It had run into something like leprosy, and she was the most frightful creature my eyes ever beheld. I called in Dr. McFadden, a very fine physician, to consult with me in relation to her. We came to the conclusion that it was out of our power to re- lieve her: but, on going to my office, I acci- dentally picked up one of your Journals, when. on seeing the wonderful cures your Sarsapa- rilla had effected, I resolved to try the experi- ment in this case. I took her two bottles, after taking which I perceived a great change. I took her some more. She is now taking the sixth bottle, and I consider her entirely cured. I take great pleasure in recommending your Sarsaparilla to the afflicted public. Yours respectfully, JOHN M. ROSS, M. D. SCKOFULA CUKED. Shelbyville, Ky, Jan. 1848. Mr. John Bull—Sir—I cannot refrain from giving this testimonial of your compound con- centrated extract of Sarsaparilla. My daughter was afflicted with scrofula of the severest character. It preyed upon her constantly, working out those dreadful effects naturally attendant upon this disease, until after ten years standing. It was at that stage I thought she must inevitably lose her sight, having during this time had her case treated by some of the most eminent physicians of the day, all of whom failed to succeed I sought relief from those remedies offered to the public, as specified for this disease, failing alike of suc- cess. In this I was driven to despair. I saw no hope of my daughter's relief from the dreadful effects of this disease, save in a prema- ture grave. After having stated to you the nature of the case, you gave me a bottle of your Sarsaparilla, cited many cases of success, and insisted upon my administering it. To gratify you I took a bottle of it, and gave it as directed, but with- out hope of success. Contrary to my expecta- tions it had an immediate effect. This deter- mined me to persevere, and after using about twelve bottles, I succeeded in effecting a per- manent cure, and my daughter is m better gen- eral health than she has been for ten years. Yours, respectfully, JNO. D. HASTINGS. I deem it a duty I owe to the public to make these facts known, I therefore cheerfully certify to the above. [Signed] EURITH C HASTINGS. BETTER TESTIMONY than was ever offered in favor of any Medicinf.. From Dr. JAMES M. MOORE. Dr. John Bull—I have no hesitation in saying, that I believe your Sarsaparilla to be the best article ever manufactured, for tlie cure of Scrofula, Syphilis, and many other Cutane- ous and Glandular Affections, having used it with entire success in a number of the above cases.

Magnktic Telegraph.—On the 1st of January, 1850, there were in the United States, about 12,000 miles of the Magnetic Telegraph, working on Morse's system ; and it is estimated about 10,000 miles, working according to the various other patents. In 1838, the American Institute reported as a wonderful thing, that Morse could telegraph the words "steamboat Caroline burnt," in six minutes ! Now a thousand such words may be telegraphed m about two minutes.' Boils. Take equal parts of Ginger and Flour; make this into a poultice, and lay it on the Boil. It will soon draw it to a head. Or, apply equal quantities of soft soap and brown sugar, well mixed. Raw Carrots grated, make an excellent poultice.

If the parts have been recently frozen or frost-bitten, the fire must not be approached, but the cold gradually abstracted. The affected parts may first be immersed in snow, of cold water, which will remove the frost; after which let brisk friction be used, and a little Spirits of Camphor, or Volatile Liniment be applied.

Dr. John Bull,—" I am using your Sarsa- parilla in several new cases of Scrofula, and with happy effect. I am now confident it is one of the most efficacious medicine that can be made for that disease." JAMES M. MOORE, M. D. V/inchester, Ky., Feb. 1, 1848. ANOTHER WITNESS. The following is an extract of a letter from a lady in this city who has been rescued, as it were, from an awful death by scrofula in its worst form, written to a friend in the country: Louisville, July 10, 1848. My Dear Harriet:—I have been informed that you have given up to die, with, as you suppose, an incurable scrofulous disease. Why, do you not send immediately and get John Bull's Sarsaparilla! It will cure you most assuredly. Why I have been worse than you, and now I am restored ta.perfect health, by Bull's Extract of Sarsaparilla. Dear Harriet, do not despair—while there is life there is hope. I will tell you honestly how I was afflicted for several years. My arm and ankles became much inflamed and swollen, and my whole system was affected with severe pain, and at times my feet and ankles were as large as two; I could not walk, at times, for several days. Some time after, my shoulders and neck became afflicted, and a large tumor or lump appeared on each side of my neck, much inflamed, also under each arm pit; those on my neck inflamed and finally broke inside of my throat, forming large and horrid ulcers; these also discharged acrid and offensive matter, which excoriated and eat the flesh from my throat and roof of my mouth, extending through my mouth into my nose, and two pieces of bones came off the roof of my mouth as big as your finger nail; these bones left a great hole that communicated with my nose. I could neither eat nor drink, without first filling this hole with lint. Neither could I speak intelligibly without the hole being stopped. At this time I thought I was the most afflicted creature on earth. My physicians and friends gave me up to die with this miserable disease. I sent for Dr. W. H. Donne; he advised me to use Bull's Extract of Sarsaparilla, as he was j well acquainted with its composition. Upon I his order I purchased six bottles. In taking | the third bottle I discovered a great change in '■ my whole system ; I found it was going to cure me. I continued to take it until I took the six bottles. I am now in perfect health— as much so as ever I was. My mouth and my throat are entirely well, the hole in the roof of my mouth, where the bones came out, is filled up with sound flesh, and I have no incon- veniences in eating, drinking, or speaking, and | wonderful to say, this Extract, John Bull's I Sarsaparilla, alone, has performed the cure. Dear Harriet, try this remedy, and if you come to town be sure and come and see me, »J»MJIIM1.BIHM« ■ ■!■ «■■■— IIWI^————j OF DISEASES. and I will show you those two bones that came out of the roof of my mouth. Your friend, ANN SIMPSON. I am knowing to the above case of Mrs Ann Simpson and the statement in the above letter is strictly true. I have seen the bones and her when she was so ulcerated; her case was a most desperate one, and no doubt but Bull's Sarsaparilla alone, has performed the miracu- lous cure. W. MARSHALL. Louisville, July 12th, 1848 For the facts relating to the case of Mrs. Simpson, the public are referred to W. H. Donne, M. D., late Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Louisville Medical College, and Professor of Surgery in the Memphis Medical College. STILL MORE WONDERFUL. Again we are reminded of the most wonder- ful cure that has come to the notice of the faculty by the use of Dr. John Bull's Sarsapa- rilla ; and if after the following certificate there can be any doubts, let the reference be the physicians who pronounced the case incurable, but which has been so miraculously preserved by the use of this valuable medicine. Exag- geration forms no part of our disposition, nor does the public want any better testimony than the following from Capt. James Lee, of the Steamer Tenessee, who is an old steamboat commander, and well known for truth and in- tegrity at Nashville and New-Orleans, and at all intermediate points on the Cumberland and Mississippi rivers. Nashville, Feb. 13, 1851. Mr. W. Evans, agent for the sale of John Bull's Sarsaparilla at Nashville, Tennessee— Dear Sir:—My son, a boy of about twelve years of age, has been afflicted with the Scrofula about eight years, affecting his eyes so that he could not see for weeks at a time, and in fact nearly blind, his right leg perishing away, losing many of the ankle bones—the hip joint protruding through the skin. He could not walk except upon crutches, and for the last several years I have had him under the treatment of the best doctors of New-Orleans, Louisville and Nashville but all without avail; and I must say that I had given him up to die, and that very soon, and the boy himself had lost all hope of recovery. At length I was urged to try Dr. John Bull's Extract of Sarsaparilla, although with little hope of any benefit being derived from its use ; but after the use of eight bottles, to my great joy and satisfaction found his sight was perfectly restored, his leg healed, but is considerably bent and weak, and I think with the use of a few bottles he will be per- fectly restored. His appetite is good, looks well, and is very cheerful; plays ball with his playmates, rides his poney, and is much de- lighted with the happy prospect of getting well, after having wholly despaired of evei getting well before he commenced the use of this valu° able medicine. And I cheerfully recommend it to the afflicted, as I feel it my duty to do so. JAMES LEE, Steamer Tennessee. CATALOGUE PILES! PILES!! The cause of this troublesome, unpleasant disease always arises from impure blood, in- digestion, &c. To cure any disease you must first remove the original cause that produces it. Bull's Sarsaparilla not only purifies the blood, but it will make new blood. This may appear strange but nevertheless it is true Mr Bull has made a discovery, which is no less than the power of medicine to produce blood, on the same principle that healthy food will produce flesh. His Sarsaparilla creates new, pure, and rich blood, consequently invi- gorates the system. It is a great blessing to the weak and debilitated. A gentleman of high standing thus writes— " I have been distressed for four years with the piles; my sufferings have been intense, and my physician had recommended an opera- tion as the only means of relief. Bull's Sarsa- parilla was advised, and I have used one bottle, and so far as I can judge am fully and entirely cured. I cannot refrain from expressing my anxiety to have its qualities more extensively known. Please send me six bottles as there is none in this city ****_ Vicksburg, Miss., Sept. 9, 1848. OF DISEASE. Fort Desmoins, Iowa, Apl. 10, '51. Dr. John Bull.—Dear Sir.—During the past winter, my wife was afflicted very severe- ly with the Yellow Jaundice ; and after follow- ing the prescriptions of physicians for several weeks, without any beneficial result, she com- menced taking your Sarsaparilla ; and on tak- ing one bottle, the skin assumed its natural color, and by the time she had taken two bot- tles she was entirely well. Yours truly, L. D. WINCHESTER. ERUPTION ON THE FACE. A BAD CASE CURED. Dr. John Bull.—Dear Sir.—I take pleasure in recommending your Sarsaparilla to the public, for I can do so without the least scruple of conscience, especially for the disease with which I was afflicted. I had a breaking out on my face, which persons call the "Barber's Itch," lor a number of years ; and at times a solid scab would form on my chin and face. I tried a great number of remedies, but failed to obtain relief, until I tried your Sarsaparilla. The use of two bottles has effected an entire cure. I therefore recommend it to all similarly afflicted. FRANCIS OTTOWELL. Louisville, March, 1848. Franklin Co., Sept. 15, 1849. Mr. John Bull.—I have been afflicted with what the physicians call dyspepsia, for about three years, I have consulted with and followed the prescriptions of some of the most eminent doctors in the country. But alas! none of them could do me any good. For six or eight months my bowels were either very costive, or very loose, I was much afflicted with alter- nate diarrhoea and costiveness, the former pro- ducing intense griping, sickening] pains in the region of the umbilicus and lower bowels. The latter producing pains in the head, giddi- ness, and dimness of sight. Thus I suffered more than I thought man could suffer and live ; am) what was worse, there was no one to sympathize with me, though I was wasted until I was a mere skeleton, being nothing but skin and bones. The doctors would tauntingly say " he has only got the belly ache, and no one ever died with the belly ache, he will get well after awhile." Thus, when I was hardly able to stand alone, when I only weighed ninety pounds, I was persuaded, ah ! persuaded, for I had tried every thing else in vain, to try your compound extract of Sarsaparilla. The first bottle stopped the diarrhoea, producing gentle, and as I think, healthy evacuations of the bowels, I have been using the extract for six weeks ; I have gained some sixteen or twenty pounds of flesh, my color is somewhat improved, and I think I am getting well, and shall continue the use of your truly valuable medicine. I am, sir, respectfully yours, LUTHER R. SULLIVAN. From the Lincoln Journal, Fayettville, Tenn. WONDERFUL AND ASTONISHING CURE. Read and be convinced of the wonders that can be performed by the use of that truly great and extraordinary medical compound DR. JOHN BULL'S SARSAPARILLA. MORE TESTIMONY. We ask attention to the following certificate ofE. E. Dismuckes, testifying to the curative effects of Bu'l's Sarsaparilla. Mr. Dismuckes is well known in this community as a highly respectable and worthy citizen, whose veracity will not be questioned by those who know him. " This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with the PILES, and have tried every Patent medicine that I have seen recommended for the cure of this disease ; and have also consulted several Physicians, and tried their remedies without obtaining any permanent relief Some time in February last I saw Bull's Sarsaparilla' advertised in the Lincoln Journal, and deter- mined as a last resort to try it, I immediately procured of Webb & Smith the Agents at Fayetteville, Tenn , a half dozen bottles and re- solved to give it a fair trial, and I am happy to say that after using one bottle I was entire- ly relieved of the disease ; it is now two months since I commenced using this medicine and I have no symptoms of its return. I,have also been afflicted with chills for the last two years, but since I commenced using the Sar- saparilla I have not had a chill, and my gene- ral health is very much improved Having been so much benefited by this valuable medi- cine I feel it si duty I owe to the afflicted and the proprietor, to make public the beneficial effects I have derived from it use.

The following beautiful and highly flattering letter, addressed to Dr. Bull, is from the pen of the accomplished lady of Dr John 1. Cooxe, one of the oldest and most eminent physicians m the State of Indiana. Any o:ie who is curious enough, can see the original by application to the Doctors office, 81 Fourth-st. Mount Vernon, Dec. 15, 1849. Dr. John Bull—Sir : Permit me to say to you, for the benefit of the afflicted female com- munity, that about twelve years ago 1 took a chronic disease of the stomach and digestive organs, and a general debility and derange- ment of the whole system—My liver and bowels were in so torpid a state that it was, at all times, with the utmost difficulty that I could get any medicine to act on my bowels, and most generally I had to resort to the most drastic cathartics, which would leave me in a delicate state. I was not often confined to my bed; but my health was always bad; I was very much troubled with the sick head-ache and costiveness, and could not take animal food "for five or six years without its producing bad effects; I have had constant cold feet during that time, and was very much troubled with distressing and violent attacks of cramp. I have also had, for the last five or six years, a distressing cutaneous eruption, from which I never could get any permanent relief, and no female has ever suffered more from Prolapsus Uteri and Fluor Albus than I have, together with the Piles. I have been under the treat- ment of several physicians for the above dis- eases, without any permanent relief—In April last I was persuaded to try S P. Townscnd's Sarsaparilla: I took five bottles of it without the least apparent relief, and took no other medicine for six weeks, when my health became much worse. I was then prevailed upon to try your Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla: with much reluctance I consented to try it, and on taking the first dose I discovered it to be much stronger than any other I had been taking; I could feel a warmth through my whole system, and before I had finished the first bottle I found myself improving in all my complaints ; 1 have taken five bottles of it, and- have not had a single paroxysm of cramp or cold feet since I commenced taking it. I eat animal food without any inconvenience; my appetite is remarkably good, my bowels perfectly regu- lar, and my digestive organs have as good tone as ever they had. I am not troubled with head-ache or sick stomach as formerly ; my entire health is better than it has been for ten years, and I am well satisfied it has been en- tirely accomplished by taking your Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla. I esteem it as one of the most valuable medicines ever invented for all chronic diseases to which it is applicable, if taken according to your directions, and con- tinued a sufficient length of time to have the desired effect on the system. ANN L. COOKE. AS A FEMALE MEDICINE IT is WITHOUT A RIVAL ! ' This Sarsaparilla is a sovereign and speedy cure for incipient consumption, barrenness, prolapsus uteri, or falling of the womb, costive- ness, piles, leuchorrhcea, or whites, obstructed or difficult menstruation, incontinence of urine, or involuntary discharge thereof, and for the general prostration of the system, no matter whether the result of inherent cause or causes produced by irregularity, illness, or accident. Nothing can be more surprising than its in- vigorating effects on the human frame. Per- sons of all weakness and lassitude, fronvtaking it once become robust and full of energy under its influence. It immediately counteracts the nervelessness of the female frame, which is the cause of barrenness. It will not be expect- ed of us in casi»s of so delicate a nature, to exhibit certificates of cures performed, but we can assure the afflicted, that hundreds of cases have been reported to us. Thousands of cases where families have been without children, after using a few bottles of this invaluable medicine, have been blessed with fine and healthy offspring. It has been expressly pre- pared in reference to female complaints. No female who has reason to suppose she is ap- proaching that critical period, " the turn of life," should neglect to take it, as it is a certain pre- ventative for any of the numerous and horrible diseases to which females are subject at this time of life. This period may be delayed for several years by using this medicine. Nor is it less valuable for those who are approaching womanhood,* as it is calculated to assist nature by quickening the blood and invigorating the system. Indeed, this medicine is invaluable for all the delicate diseases, to which women are subject. It is the safest and most effectual medicine for purifying the system, and relieving the sufferings attendant upon child-birth ever dis- covered. It strengthens both the mother and child, and prevents pain and disease, increases and enriches the food ; those who have used it,.think it indispensable. It is highly useful both before and after confinement, as it prevents diseases attendant upon child-birth. In costive- ness, piles, cramps, swelling of the feet, des- pondency, heartburns, vomitings, pain in the back and loins, false pains, haemorrhage, and in regulating the secretions, and equalizing the circulation, it has no equal. The great beauty of this medicine is, it is always safe, and the most delicate use it most success- fully. As a beautifying agent, it is far superior to all cosmetics and lotions in use, producing a clear and beautiful skin, rosy cheeks, removing freckles and pimples. A hint to the young ladies is sufficient. [25] A Voice from Columbus. LIVER COMPLAINT. This is a very popular and rather fashionable disease in the western country, with doctors as well as patients. If a person afflicted with lassitude, fullness and pain in the right side, occasional nausea, difficulty in breathing, a dry cough,Joss of appetite and flesh, sallow com- plexion, costiveness, and indigestion—all symp- toms of derangement in the circulation of the blood, engorgement of the portal circle, and consequent obstruction of the biliary ducts, (being the first indications of a bilious attack,) the conclusion is, that he has the " Liver Com- plaint." Thousands have their health and lives sacrificed yearly, by taking prescriptions from the doctors, for that disease, drawn out in secret language and horse doses, disguised by hiero- glyphic characters, which contain large quan- tities of calomel and blue mass, when they know in their very conscience, (if perchance they have any left) that the result will be made of more injury than relief to the patient By being dosed with such poisonous drugs the system is prostrated, (more so at this time of th;- year than any other,) the poor patient salivated, his limbs and glands sore and swollen, and in the attempt of removing one disease, ten spring up in its place It is astonishing that people will be so cre- dulous as to allow themselves to be ruined by this tearing down treatment, when a few bottles of Dr Bull's Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla, so pleasant to take, would, by its action upon the liver and blood vessels, have saved all their suffering, with salivated and toothless jaws, and perhaps life itself, and a long doctor's bill in the bargain. This invaluable preparation is daiiy grap- pling with disease, and is performing the most wo:irlr>rful cures ever known. No system under its influence, can be attacked with the cholera, or any form of disease, as has been fully established by the sale of over 1200 bottles in this city, within the past few months. ANOTHER CASE! ! ! SCROFULA CURED. Henderson, October 18th, 1853. Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have been afflicted for a number of years with a Scrofu- lous affection of the head and neck. I have consulted the most eminent physicians in our place in regard to the matter, but could get no relief. I was induced by a friend of mine, Dr. Thomas Johnson, who has tested your medi- cine, and is a strong believer in it, but owing to his deep-rooted prejudices against all patent medicines,, has failed to give publicity to his pvperience in regard to the efficacy of yours— to try your Sarsaparilla. I procured a bottle of it, and used it with the happiest effect, and have continued its use to this day. I am now almost entirely relieved. I would recommend it in all cases of a similar nature. You may make what disposition you please of this cer- tificate. If von think you can accomplish any- good by its publication, you are at liberty to make it. Respectfully, SAMUEL STILES. October 19th, 1853. I cheerfully endorse the above statement. THOMAS I. JOHNSON, M. D. CONSUMPTION. The chilling conviction of the incurable na- ture of this disease has checked the ardor of investigation, which, upon other occasions, has excited the exertions of the most learned and ingenious medical writers of the present age. Acting under the influence of this persuasion, the medical world have for centuries past made little or no progress in ascertaining the most rational and effective mode of curing it. In the bills of mortality in the city of Lon- don, in 1845, three thousand and nine hundred and ninety-six persons are stated toTiave fallen victims to Consumption. This appalling list shows too plainly that the usual treatment is greatly defective, and it becomes the duty of the physician as well as the patient to try other remedies, especially when one can be obtained so truly safe and efficacious as Bull's Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla. The reputation of this medicine is now so well established that liberal minded men in the medical profession, both in this and other cities, recommend it to their patients as the best of all remedies for pulmonary complaints and physical debility ; and it is generally received as one of the standard medicines of the day. It has also been introduced into the practice of many of our best infirmaries and other in- stitutions, and has long since received the public sanction of most eminent chemists and professional men. John Bull's .Compound Fluid Extract. of Sarsaparilla is prepared under the immediate supervision of the proprietor, and is warranted to be uniform in strength and medical virtues, and to keep in any climate, and any length of time; and for facts concerning many of the wonderful cures performed by this truly valu- able and matchless vegetable compound, the sceptical are referred to the many certificates in the hands of the agents. ERYSIPELAS, DIZZINESS. Louisville, January 13, 1848. That is to certify that I was afflicted some time since with Erysipelas in my leg and Dizziness of the head to an alarming extent. Several physicians told me that I would lose my leg, and perhaps my life, if it was not checked. I tried several remedies as cures, but the disease continued to grow worse, until I was advised to use Dr. John Bull's compound fluid extract of Sarsaparilla, which acted like a charm. Two bottles have made a perfect cure, and my health is better than it has been for years. I consider it the best medicine in the world for the cure of all chronic diseases. CHAUNCY BACON, [35] Compositor at the Democrat Off.cc OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. John Bull's Sarsaparilla.—This valuable medicine is gaining public favor with astonishing rapidity; and its unprecedented and unrivalled popularity is not without merit. It has only to be fairly tested, to give it the preference over all other Sarsapanllas. Asa purifier of the blood, it excels all other medicines : and the numerous certificates which have been voluntarily tendered to Dr. Bull, from the most eminent physicians, as well as gentlemen of every class and profession, of high reputation, and who are well known to all by character, if not per- sonally, is proof conclusive, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it has effected thousands of al- most miraculous cures, in all the various diseases and forms of disease and human suffenng for which it is recommended. The physicians of our place recommend its use (we believe al- most without an exception), in preference to all other compounds purporting to be Sarsaparilla. It has been but a few months since it was first introduced here, and we are informed by those who keep it for sale, that it is more in demand than all other preparations of the kind. v\ e have tested its merits ourself, personally and in our family, and confidently and cheerfully re- commend its use to the afflicted. We say to all, give it a fair trial, and be convinced of its efficacy.—Charlestown Mirror. ------ . By reference to our advertising columns, our readers will discover an advertisement of Bull s Sarsaparilla. We will say for ourselves, that it is a good medicine, for we have tried it; and we have no doubt we could obtain a score of people in our village, who would testify to the same fact.— Washington Democrat. Bull's Sarsaparilla.—We refer the attention of our readers to the lengthy advertisement of John Bull, in another column. This preparation of Sarsaparilla is fast winning its way into universal use, not only among the citizens of our city and State, but throughout the South and West generally. It is recommended by eminent \ hysicians, and must doubtless yield a splendid fortune to the proprietor.—Democrat. Bull's Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla.—We see that our friend Reynolds has received a fresh supply of this valuable medicine. We are well acquainted with Mr. Bull, seen him manu- facture the medicine, and have used it in our family, and can therefore state that it does not come under the head of " patent nostrums," which are usually palmed off upon the public. It is what it is represented.—Memphis Evening Herald. Bull's Sarsaparilla is doing more good in this neighborhood than any medicine of a similar character has accomplished. Many of our acquaintances who have been using it, declare that the good effect it has upon them is so great, that no reasonable sum of money would be an inducement to relinquish its use. We have the genuine article for sale at this office. It is also for sale by Murphy & Robertson, Crabb & Ewing, and Dr. Grant.-—Jackson County (la.) Advocate. The Greatest Medicine of the Age is Bull's Sarsaparilla.—We believe this medicine to be superior to any Sarsaparilla in the country. We know many who have used it success- fully, and some who have been afflicted for years have been relieved, and are now in good health. As the public is convinced of its virtues, it is sought for, and Mr. Bull is receiving orders from all parts of the country.—Louisville Democrat. Bull's Sarsaparilla.—It will be seen by referring to our advertisements, that this most ex- cellent curative is still gaining ground in the estimation of the public. Not a day passes, but brings in fresh testimonials of its triumphs over disease. It is very palatable, and seems more like an agreeable and refreshing beverage, than a highly medicated and potent restorative.— Louisville Journal of Commerce. ------ - 4 Bull's Sarsaparilla.—We have frequently noticed Townsend's Sarsaparilla, but we are confident that BULL'S is not less deserving of commendation. Its effects in hundreds of cases in this city, prove it to be an invaluable medicine. Very many persons consider themselves wholly indebted to it for the health they enjoy. In numerous complaints, it is undoubtedly the best remedy that can be employed. This medicine is kept constantly on hand by J. B. Wilder & Co.—Louisville Journal. —-----■ Bull's Sarsaparilla.—We refer our readers to the notice of this universally popular medi- cine, found in our columns of to-day. Its virtue having afforded, to all those who have sought it as a curative agent, such universal relief from almost every disease to which the human system is heir to, is creating a demand for the article, having scarcely a parallel in the history of patent nostrums. To the sick and afflicted, the great remedy is, BULL !—White River (la.) Standard. We copy the following from the Cincinnati Dispatch:—Every word said by it, as well as by our neighbors, in regard to Bull's Sarsaparilla, is strictly true. Orders for it are coming in from every State and Territory, by every mail, and such is the rapidly increasing demand for it, that although he has a strong force engaged in its preparation night and day, yet he cannot supply it as rapidly as it is required. Owe of the best recommendations of Bull's Sarsaparilla, is the fact, that where it is best known it is most highly prized.—Louisville Courier. OPINIONSTOF THE PRESS! READ! READ!! READ!!! The truly wonderful and remarkable cures that have come under our immediate observation, have more than convinced us that Doctor Bull is a great man, and that his Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla is the most valuable combination of vegetable extracts that the science of chemistry has ever produced. All success to the Doctor, in his new enterprise, say we.—Louisville Courier. We agree with our neighbor of the Courier, that Doctor Bull is a great man, and that his Sarsaparilla is a greater medicine ; and we are fully convinced that the Doctor, with his Sarsa- parilla, will create a far more enthusiatic excitement East, than Barnum did with Jenny Lind. We would not have our readers to understand us as classing the Doctor and his Sarsaparilla with Barnum and Jenny Lind, because all who spend their dollar for a bottle of Bull's Sarsa- parilla will get its equivalent; and we have heard it slyly hinted, that many after hearing the divine Jenny, and finding their pockets minus from ten to twenty dollars, thought it was pay- ing pretty dear for the whistle. One objection we have to Bull's Sarsaparilla, and only one- it it so exceedingly pleasant to the taste, and invigorating to the system, that, once in the habit of using it, it is equal to smoking fine regalias, chewing Langhorne's best, or drinking Walker's mint juleps—you can't quit it.—Louisville Democrat. The above complimentary notices from the editors of the Louisville Courier and Democrat, were endorsed by Geo. D. Prentice, Esq., the distinguished editor of the Louisville Journal, in the following flattering notice: There is no doubt in the world of the greatness of Doctor Bull, and the excellence of his Sarsaparilla. Some of the most scientific physicians in this city have applauded the Sarsa- parilla: and what is a great deal better, the million applaud it too It is having a tremendous sale. The celebrated Jayne has, from the profits of his medicine, built a granite palace in Phila- delphia, seven stories high, and Dr Bull, if he chooses, can very soon build one twice as high as that. It is, we are told, very difficult for him to walk through our streets at all; as he finds himself arrested at every step, by grateful men and women, many of whom have travelled from great distances to loolf upon their benefactor, and to bless him for their wonderful restoration to health. The Doctor, with all his extraordinary merit, is very modest and retiring ; yet, we trust that the Eastern cities will, in justice to themselves, give a fitting reception to the distin- guished man who has made as glorious a campaign against human diseases as Gen. Scott made against the Mexicans. DR. BULL'S SARSAPARILLA! We publish the notice of this valuable medicine. We but seldom call attention to th^ medicines \vhich we so frequently and generally publish in our paper, but this forms an exception. The list of articles which compose this Extract of Sarsaparilla, have been fully and freely submitted to the examination of the physicians of our country; and many of the most eminent and successful practitioners of medicine have decided in its favor—highly recommend it and use it themselves. Perhaps no medicine, in the same length of time, has become so universally popular. We, therefore, feel perfectly safe in calling attention to this very valuable medicine which is manufactured and sold by Dr. John Bull, of Louisville.—Nashville Christian Advocate. ------- Bull's Sarsaparilla.—This is truly a valuable medicine, and worthy the high reputation it has acquired. We took a cold a few weeks since, which threatened serious consequences, if not arrested. A cold upon the lungs, producing a severe cough and a violent pain in the chest, is alarming indeed. We neglected doing any thing for it until we were completely prostrate. We purchased a bottle of the Sarsaparilla, and used it three or four days, and were greatly re- lieved. We believe this medicine to be an excellent remedy, and can safely recommend it to those afflicted with incipient consumption.—Iroquois Journal, {III.) Ye who are basking in the sunshine of health and happiness, be advised 1 Ye who are strong and rugged, and who, through your own prejudice, or that of your medical adviser, laugh to scorn remedies brought to th relief of suffering humanity, beware ! "Bull's Fluid Extract of Sarsaparilla" is no secret medicine!—no humbug! It has done too much for the afflicted to be 60 denounced! To repair the shattered bark of life, torn and tattered by disease in all its parts, and to put it again upon the great ocean of society, with its sails unfurled to the winds of heaven, is something. To enter the sick man's chamber, with death knocking at his door, while life is in its evening tide, and to light up, with the rays of hope, his feeble health, and bid him live—this, too, is something. Those in health, and who wish to continue so, use "Bull's Sarsaparilla" every morning and evening. It acts specifically upon the liver, the blood, and digestive organs. The proof of its efficacy is before you. Not a single man, woman, or child, has died of cholera, or any of its symptoms, who used this in- valuable preparation. Look at the city of Louisville, where this Sarsaparilla is made, and where one hundred and fifty to two hundred bottles are retailed daily ; but few isolated cases of cholera have occurred, and they were either from the boats, or who disregarded our advice.— Cincinnati Chronicle. THE CAPITOL AT WASHINGTON, represented in the above engraving, is a large and showy building, of the Corinthian order of architecture, of freestone, and painted white. It is situated in the centre of a square, on an eminence 78 feet above tide-water ; and consists of a central edifice and two wings, the entire length being 352 feet, and the depth of the wings 121 feet. On the east front, there is a splen- did portico of 22 columns, 38 feet high ; and on the west front, a portico of 10 columns. The height of the building, to the top of the dome, is 120 feet; and under the dome, is the rotunda, 95 feet in diameter, and of the same height, adorned with sculpture and paintings of a national character On the east front, in niches, are colossal figures, in marble, of Peace and War, and a fine marble statue of Columbus at the entrance. The colossal statue of Washington, by Grcenough, stands in the east park, in a neat temple erected for the purpose. Within the building, are the hall of the House of Representatives, the Senate chamber, the library of Con- gress, the court-room of the Supreme court, and some 70 rooms for the accommodation of com- mittees, &c, &c.

Wrhat a beautiful and interesting relation is that which exists between mother and child ! The love of a mother is the most pure, holy and unselfish passion of the human heart__ and the dependence, reliance and confidence of the child on the mother's love and devotion, is a delightful theme for contemplation for the philanthropist. But how his heart must bleed, when he sees that devoted mother bending over her child, herself writhing in pain and suffering from the influence of disease, and her beauteous babe covered with, scrofulous sores !—if she has no remedy, nor can procure any for their relief. But, there is a Balm, yea, a Balm in ^rilead .' that has never failed to eradicate Scro- pula in all its multiplied forms—and mothers should at once procure Dr. Bull's Genuine Sarsaparilla, and lose no time in taking it her- self and thus dispense to her babe its healing qualities, which is sure to heal both mother and child. Thousands of such cases have come under our special notice in the past year, and no mother has' yet tried it, without being delighted with its effects As a female medi- cine, Bull's Sarsaparilla has no equal on earth —as a regulator of the system—for this valu- able Preparation of Doctor Bull's has been prepared in strict reference to " Female Com- plaints." Ladies of all weakness and lassitude from using but few doses become robust, and full of energy under its influence. It immedi- ately counteracts the nervousness of the female frame, which at times is the great cause of barrenness—and to those females it is specially recommended as superior to all the " invigo- rating cordials'' ever offered for debility, impo- tency or all irregularities of nature. NOTICE TO~FEMALES. John Bull's Sarsaparilla is one of the greatest female medicines now in existence. In those numerous cases where the constitution is debi- litated, the nervous energy is lessened when the efforts of nature are weak and deficient, or are profuse and overwrought, when the face is pale and colorless, the strength feeble and yielding, the spirit troubled and depressed, the health broken, the mind shaken, and conse- quently the happiness destroyed, then Bull's Sarsaparilla is a sovereign remedy. It assists nature in the performance of her duty, braces the whole system, renews permanently the na- tural energies, removes obstructions, checks excesses, creates pure and healthy blood, and imparts health and happiness. Were ladies generally to adopt the use of this medicine, we would see far less suffering, disease, and unhappiness among them than now exists ; health would take the place of d sease ; the rosy check would succeed the pallid face; we would have smiles instead of tears, and per- haps a happy long life jnstead of one cut short by disease, or made miserable from continued suffering and affliction. At that critical period termed the "Turn of Life," which, is often attendant with so much danger, Buil's Sarsa- parilla is found to exert a most beneficial effect All ladies approaching this crisis should be apprised of this fact, and avail themselves of this valuable medicine. DEATn. Where I shall die—I know it not, Nor where my ashes shall be laid; Only be it my happy lot With saints relieved to leave the dead : Small care to me the place affords— The earth throughout is all the Lord's. But when in death I shall recline, Then let my soul ascend to thee : Through Christ's redemption I am thine, Bv faith his glories now I see. 'Twill all be well! I little prize Where, how, or when this body dies. When I shall die, is all unknown, Except to thine omniscient mind ; And lest with life my hopes be gone, May I from thee such favor find, That I may always be prepared For death, and for thy great award. How I shall die, to ask were vain ; Death does his work in varied forms : To some with agonies of pain, And some sink peaceful in his arms. Just as Ihou wilt, if, when 'tis past, My soul be found with thee at last. God. on the Ocean. We were crowded in the cabin, Not a soul did dare to sleep ; It was midnight on the waters, And a storm was on the deep. 'Tis a fearful thing in winter, To be shattered in the blast, And to hear the rattling trumpet Thunder, " Cut away the mast!" So we shuddered there in silence, For the stoutest held his breath, While the hungry sea was roaring, And the breakers talked with Death. As we sadly sat in darkness, Each one busy at his prayers, "We are lost!" the captain shouted, As he staggered down the stairs But his little daughter whispered, As she took his icy hand, " Is not God upon the ocean, Just the same as on the land?" Then we kissed the little maiden, And'we spoke in better cheer, And we anchored safe in harbor, When the morn was shining clear. Politeness at Home—Always speak with the utmost politeness and deference to your parents and friends. Some children are polite and civil everywhere else, except at home ; but there they are coarse and rude enough. Nothing sits so gracefully upon children, and nothing makes them so lovely, as habitual respect and dutiful deportment towards their parents and superiors. It makes the plainest face beautiful. and gives to every common action a nameless but peculiar charm. SOMETHING NEW AND VALUABLE!! The most powerful King on the face of the globe, now reigns supreme in the American republic. The power of the crowned heads of Europe sinks into insignificance, when com- pared to that of our American King. European kings employ the authority vested in them to increase the riches of the rich and lordly, and to reduce to greater misery and degradation the poor and dependent. Our American King goes forth with equal willingness to the lordly mansion and humble cabin, ready alike to administer relief, and to offer health and happiness to the lofty and the lowly, the rich and the poor. 4 DR. JOHN BULL'S I's the TENTH WONDER OF THE WORLD, and the greatest blessing ever offered to afflicted humanity; to the suffering millions the Doctor can say, relief is at your command. You have only to use this magical remedy. All those who still suffer, and will not accept the proffered Balm, deserve not the pity of their families. This wonderful medicine, during the brief period since its introduction, has carried happiness to the hearts of thousands, and made life a charm to many who heretofore regarded it only as a painful and miserable existence. To the winds with all Liniments, Embrocations, Pain Killers, and Pain Extractors, and let millions of glad tongues proclaim the merits of the great " American King of Pain " a preparation composed solely of vegetables and roots, produced by America's own rich and bounteous soil. We would ask the Ladies, who arc always competent judges of what is and what is not a valuable family medicine, to do us a special favor by giving the King of Pain a single trial, and, if satisfactory, exert their influence in its behalf, recommend it, speak well and often of it and see that it is used by their afflicted neighbors. The ladies are always charitable, and when they induce their suffering friends to use this really valuable medicine, they will be doing an act of benevolence that they can well be proud of. This is a powerful and truly magical remedy for all external diseases, sores, swellings, burns, &c, and for many internal afflictions it is a certain cure; yet it is perfectly harmless, and incapable of producing the least injurious effects in the most delicate cases or the weakest constitution. It is entirely useless to follow the old and worn-out system of publishing to the public thousands of certificates of wonders performed by this medicine. It costs but twenty-five cents to try it; and Dr Bull stakes his well-earned reputation on the King of Pain doing all, and more, than he claims for it. We would ask, have you the Rheumatism or Gout ? these are not pleasant companions, and we know that you would like to drive them away as quick as possible; then use " Bull's King of Pain." 8 Would you be cured almost immediately of Bowel Complaint, Dysentery, Summer Complaint Cholera Morbus, Cramp Colic, Headache, Toothache, or any other ache or pain, the remedy is simple and the cure certain—use the great King of Pain. Would you have your Sores, Swellings, Cuts, Burns, Scalds, Bruises, or any other wounds healed, we repeat it, use the "Magical King of Pain." Would you be cured of Scald Head Stiff Joints, Sore Throat, Neuralgia, Sore Breast, Lumbago, Tetter .or Ring Worm Salt Rheum, Bites of Poisonous Insects, Chapped Hands, and all other Sores, either dry or running we say again and again, your remedy is Dr. John Bull's "King of Pain.'' Would you be cured of King's Evil, Cancer, Tumors, Eruptions, or any disease of the skin caused by impure blood, then use Dr. John Bull's Sarsaparilla internally, and the King of Pain externally; nothing can be more certain than a speedy and effectual cure. ^Taj •■nr^iw'.wa i.....tt——iri>TT>rnr»«tiWWltTiicti>-nKi-iiniw>iiiii.-»it w tin riniiirr mn »i i n..... DR. JOHN BULL'S KING OF PAIN is the MIGHTY CONQUEROR of that Fell Destroyer of human life. » ASIATIC CHOLERA. « It is sanctioned and ordered to be used on board all the EUROPEAN EMIGRANT PACKET SHIPS I'W In consequence of the prevalence of cholera, the owners of several of the packet-ships between New-York and Liverpool, have given notice that they will not convey any more emi- grants. The New-York Journal of Commerce says : " This course of action is the one that humanity dictates, rather than any pecuniary interest. Passage being in advance, ship owners are little affected by any subsequent mortality on board ship. Still that must be an indurated heart that could remain unmoved, while scores of lifeless human bodies are thrown overboard from almost every ship (with stones tied to their feet), and the shipping-offices are besieged by emaciated, heart-broken, and poverty-stricken survivors, imploring relief. " A partial suspension of emigration such as is contemplated, will avert the repetition of scenes such as have occurred in this city in previous winters, arising from the impossibility of readily providing for the multitude of destitute emigrants flocking hither. " A remarkable circumstance is noticed in connection with the disease prevailing on ship- board, which we have not heard spoken of. viz. : that the peculiar malignity is only manifested upon reaching a certain latitude—the distempered atmosphere seeming to extend in veins or distinct currents—so that sometimes all evidence of disease lurking in the atmosphere dis- appears long before reaching port." The cholera is the most terrible and alarming disease found on the entire list of human com- plaints ; yet, even this fatal malady has been robbed of its terrors by the introduction of Dr. John Bull's " King of Pain," and had those very philanthropic ship-owners, who have given orders to their agents and captains to bring no more emigrants during the prevalence at sea of cholera, given instructions to have their medicine-chests provided with a few dollars' worth of "Bull's Kinse five drops ; one year old and under three, ten drops ; three years old and under five, fifteen drops ; five years old and under ten, twenty drops ; from ten to fifteen years half a teaspoonful. It is best, when the King of Pain is taken internally-, to give it in sweetened water, tea or molasses. For Sores, Swellings, Cuts, Burns, Scalds. Bruises, Or any other wounds; Scald Head, Stiff Joints, Sore Throat, Neuralgia, Sore Breast, Lum- bago, Tetter or Ring Worm, Salt Rheum, Bites of Poisonous Insects, Chapped Hands, and all other sores, either dry or running—apply the King of Pain as you have been accustomed to use all other liniments. To Cure King's Evil, Scrofula, Cancer, Tumors, And Eruptions of the Skin, use Dr. John Bull's Sarsaparilla internally, and apply the King of Pain externally, and you will get well. For Headache, Bathe the forehead and temples with the King of Pain, and take a dose occasionally, and you will be speedily relieved. To Cure the Toothache: If the tooth is hollow, wet a piece of cotton with the King of Pain, and put it into the cavity ; also, hold some in the mouth for a few minutes, and rub it on the jaw. For Jaw-ache rub the jaw with the King of Pain, and hold some in the mouth. SCARLET FEVER! This disease is very unjustly regarded as dangerous and 'hard to manage. No complaint yields more readily to proper treatment; but give calomel and other strong medicines, and you had as well order a coffin. So soon as you have the slightest reason to think that you are about to have Scarlet Fever confine yourself in a close room, and keep the temperature as near the same as possible, neither too warm nor too cool. Grease the whole body with old fat bacon, and keep thin slices bound around the throat and under the jaws. Take a dose of "Bull's King of Pain," in warm tea three times a day, and no other medicine. When the disease is fairly out, discontinue the medi- cine, but continue the grease until you are entirely well. Follow the same treatment with children, no matter how young, and you will cure every case. This treatment is plain and simple, and just what the disease requires. In Scarlet Fever, medicine kills nine to the disease one. If you will follow the above directions, neither disease nor medicine will '| prove fatal. '< This King of Pain will also V> found the best remedv in existence for all external diseases \ of Horses and Cattle, such as 4 -.ins. Splint. Scratches. Wind Galls, &c , and will cure Sore i Back and Flesh Wounds almost immediately. Try it. and you will be convinced 1 iGMStacmmiamr-Tajer* okow- . CHOLERA INFANTUM, For Summer Complaint of Children, Prevails during the hot months of summer. It is distinguished by violent vomiting and purging, and great emaciation; it is rapid in its progress, and soon sinks the little sufferer into a fatal prostration, unless the disease is arrested before the patient is too far gone. Of all the diseases to which children are liable, this produces the most frightful mortality. A few drops of DR. JOHN BULL'S KING OF PAIN administered according to the directions, will at once arrest the vomiting and purging, allay the irritation of the stomach and bowels, and save the child from the danger which threatens it. Diarrhoea, or Looseness in Children. This form of bowel' complaint is very common among children ; it is frequently produced, or kept up, by eating unripe fruit or improper diet. All such fruits should be forbidden to the child. A few drops (from three to ten according to age) of the King of Pain should be admi- nistered and the disease will soon pass away. N. B. No family should be without this great remedy, as every thing depends on giving it promptly, if you once use it you will never be without it for the sake of twenty-five cents. I speak as a friend. JOHN BULL. There was great comfort to a desponding man in the answer he got from a friend to whom he was confiding his gloomy apprehensions of the future. " I don't see," said Mr. Blues to Mr. Bright, "how I shall ever get through the world."—"Did you ever hear," asked Mr. Bright, "of one who got stuck by the way]" Professor Everett, once the American ambassador to the Court of Saint James, was entertained at a public dinner before leaving Boston. Judge Story gave as a sentiment—" Genius is sure to be welcome where Ever-ett goes." Everett responded—"Law, Equity, and Jurisprudence : no efforts can raise them above one Story." A lady who must be a relative of Mrs. Partington, we think, "by marriage" at least, was entertaining some friends with a fine leg of mutton at dinner the other day, when one of her guests remarked that the mutton was exceedingly fine in quality. " Oh, yes," said she, " my husband always buys the best. He is a great epicac." Mrs. Partington has bought a horse so spirituous that he always goes off in a decanter. A love-sick young gentleman, who has taken very much of late to writing sonnets, has just hung himself with one of his own lines. It having been stated that a man in New-York got himself into trouble by marrying two wives, a western editor remarked that a man in Michigan had done the same by only marrying one. Next day his office was crowded by married men, every one asking—" Did you mean me?" Some crusty, rusty, fusty, musty, dusty, gusty curmudgeon Batchelor of a man, gave the following toast at a celebration :—" Our fire engines—may they be like our old maids—ever ready, never wanted." To Preserve a Bouquet.—A florist of many years' experience, gives the following receipt for preserving bouquets for an indefinite period, which may be useful to our lady readers:—"When you receive a bouquet sprinkle, it lightly with fresh water. Then put it into a vessel containing some soap suds ; this will nutrify the stems, and keep the flowers as bright as new. Take the bouquet out of the suds every morning, and lay it sideways (the stock entering first) into clean water ; keep it there a moment or two, then take it out, and sprinkle the flowers lightly by the hand with water. Replace it in the soap sups as before. The Right Road.—English traveller—"Hi say, sir, ham hi on the right road to Artford?" Jonathan—" Well, if you turn round and go t'other way you'll have to travel abeout ten miles. But if you keep on the way you're going, you'll have to go abeout eight thousand I reckon." To make Starch Polish.—Take 1 oz. Spermaceti, and 1 oz. White Wax ; melt, and run mto a thin cake on a plate. A piece the size of a quarter dollar, added to a quart of prepared Starch, gives a beautiful lustre to the clothes, and prevents the iron from sticking. Blueing for Clothes.—better and cheaper than. Indigo.—Take 1 oz. of soft Prussian Blue, ,; powder it, and put it in a bottle with 1 quart of clear rain-water, and add i oz. of Oxalic Acid. A teaspoonful is sufficient for a large washing. A great Discovery! AGUE AND FEVER Permanently Cured by the Use of DR. JOHN BULL'S Celebrated Vegetable DNIC :e» I JLi Hi S, (Purely a Vegetable Preparation.) THE BEST REMEDY NOW IN USE FOR THE CERTAIN AND PERMANENT CURE OF FEVER AND AGUE. Prepared only by John Bull, sole proprietor, and sold, wholesale and retail, at his principal offices Corner of Broadway and Cortlandt-street, No. 2 Gilsey Buildings) New-York, and No. 1 Fifth-street, Louisville, Ky. This valuable medicine is offered to the public as one of the most sure and certain remedies ever discovered for the permant cure of AGUE and FEVER, m all of its various forms. It possesses many advantages over most of the Tonics which now flood the country, the causes of which are, 1st. It is a more certain remedy, as one dose seldom fails to make a sure and lasting cure. 2d. It contains nothing deleterious or poisonous to the system, consequently it may be taken without fear of any of the bad effects which attend the use of most of the Tonics of the present day. 3d It is more convenient for transportation, and not liable to loss from freezing, breaking, leakage, and other accidents which attend the liquid remedies. 4th. It is more convenient and pleasant to take, and is not so nauseating. 5th. It increases the appetite and braces the whole general system. And, lastly, is offered much cheaper than most other Tonics now in use, which places it within the reach of every one, so that the poor man is enabled to save his Doc- tor's bill and escape days, and, perhaps, weeks of sickness. The proprietor has received, and is daily receiving, numerous certificates and testimonials of the efficacy of this Tonic; but knowing as he does the imposition which has been practised upon the public in the way of false certificates in bringing a medicine of this kind into notice, will only insert two received from two of our oldest and most respected citizens, to whom any one may refer if they doubt ihe efficacy of this medicine. There are Four Sound Reasons why DE. JOHN" BULL'S VEGETABLE TONIC PILLS are the most safe and convenient medicine for the cure of Bilious Fevers and Fever and Ague. 1st. Because they are of themselves alone able to grapple with disease and drive it out. 2d. Their LAXATIVE properties are so eminently and beautifully balanced with their Tonic Virtues that they act in concert and do not require any purgative to help them. 3d. They do not require any change of diet or any preparation of the system before taking them, as they possess full power to correct all that may be wrong. 4th. They are the cheapest in the end, as they are sure to effect a cure, and in all ordinary cases one box is sufficient. CERTIFICATES. I had a nephew afflicted with the Fever and Ague, and bought a box of Bull's Vegetable Tonic Pills, which performed a'perfect cure; and I do recommend them to the public as the best medicine now in use for the cure of Fever and Ague. R. BUCKNER. Louisville, December 20, 1846. Mr. Bull having requested me to state what I know in relation to the efficacy of his Tonic Pill in the cure of Ague and Fever I will say that I never used them myself, but received a couple of boxes from Mr. William T. Spurrier as a donation to a poor family, and they speedily cured eleven out of thirteen, and the only remaining two were very small children unable to swallow Pills.

In presenting to the people of the Eastern and Middle States my remedy for the treatment and permanent cure of all Bilious Diseases arising from a torpid, obstructed and diseased state of the Liver, I will briefly state thatl do so with the most unbounded confidence of its complete success having for many years prescribed it in the late field of my labors the great Western country and watched at the bed-side of the sufferer the operation of its wonderful Tonic Powers until the sallow and dejected visage, and the dim and sunken eye began to brighten with a ray of hope, and I have seen that hope ripen to the glad reality of health and strength. My Vegetable Tonic Pills are not a new discovery, having been in use very extensively for five or six years with unfailing success in that great hot-bed of bilious diseases the new broken and low countries of the far Western States. Amongst the various forms of bilious diseases over which the Tonic Pills have complete control, stands first and foremost Fever Ague, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague, Intermittent and Remittent Fevers, and Bilious Fevers, all of which are generally preceded by some few days of periodical headache. I shall not weary the patience of the reader by searching into the probable cause or causes of these diseases, they are many and varied, depending much on the susceptibility of constitution, or habits and manner of living, and last not least Locality of Habitation and the purity or impurity of the air we breathe. To come at once to the Fact (let the cause be what it may), a man or woman is taken sick; what shall we do 1 The first thing is to look at the symptoms, and like an index they will to the experienced eye point out the malady, but what are these Symptoms'! Let us see. The patient complains of head-ache, feels indisposed to any kind of exercise, gloomy and weary unfit for mental or bodily labor, forgetful, drowsy, yet cannot sleep more than five minutes at one time, the skin and eye-balls bear a deep tinge of yellow, the appetite is uneven and capricious, at times desiring more than nature requires, and at other times so perfectly dormant that even the thought or smell of food will occasion a sick and nauseous feeling. These symp- toms are a sure indication of a derangement of the Bile, which having been diverted from its natural course, becomes mingled with the blood and by that fluid circulated to every part of the system, hence the yellow skin and blood-shot eye-ball, but this is not all, the great danger is more thari skin deep, the work of destruction is rapidly going on inside, and that which should be the Fountain of Life to the body, is swiftly conveying the seeds of Death to the very seat of vitality. But why is this derangement 1 Why is the bile mixed with the blood 1 It is because the Liver refuses to perform its natural functions, it lays still and inactive by having become obstructed and swollen from some unnatural cause, consequently the blood passes it without its action, which would be were it in a healthy condition to separate the bile from the blood and pass it by means of the stomach and bowels away out of the system, the blood would then be purified and becomes the crimson fountain of health, constantly circulating and supplying new bone, and new nerve, and new flesh to replace the daily wear and tear of the body. But be it remembered this bile, which is so frequently abused and harshly spoken of is quite as essential to our existence as is our blood, for without its assistance our food will not digest, and we could not make blood, therefore, when the Liver refuses to supply bile through the proper channel and in proper quantity, the stomach is without action, the bowels become out of order, some- times costive, and sometimes quite the reverse, the discharges are of a varied and unnatural color, at times like white clay and at other times of a greenish cast. But all these symptoms and sickness may be avoided by a timely use of Dr. John Bull's Vegetable Tonic Pills—as a preventive of bilious attacks they are without any superior ; no person or family travelling in the Western Country are safe without them, the unacclimated may be perfectly well and healthy, when they lay down at night, but before daylight returns they may awaken with the shake of ague upon them, and it is at such a time Bull's Tonic Pills have proved themselves to be the wonderful preventives of Chills and Fever—when they are taken they go directly to the seat of the disease and exert such prompt action upon the liver, that it is immediately stimulated to resume its proper action, and the progress of disease is stayed; thousands of boxes have been sold and used, none of which have been known to fail in curing; hundreds of certificates have been received from Medical Men of the first standing and from families in the Western Country of their efficacy and superior virtue over all other preparations now in use for the cure of Fever and Ague, &c. Let all who are of a bilious habit try them and use them according to directions, and they will soon feel their whole system renovated and a new vigor added to their mental and bodily powers. Dr John BullY Vegetable Tonic Pills may be safely used by all persons of all ages, at all times and under all circumstances, without the possibility of any bad results, as they are purely vegetable. All bilious fevers of what- ever type may be prevented by an occasional dose of the BULL'S VEGETABLE TONIC PILLS—see bill of directions on another page of this book.. 24 " 16 16 " 16 8-10 12 " 11 2-10 8 " 8 4-10 8 " a 4 " 4 4 " 4 !: \ALUABL¥1^^ AND EVERYBODY. |j A Valuable Table. ■ The following table was first published in Mr. Ruffin's Farmer's Register: ', A box 24 by 16 inches square, and 22 deep, contains a barrel, or 10,752 cubic inches. 11 " half barrel, or 5,376 8 " bushel, or 2,150 4-10 " 1 8 " half bushel, or 1,075 " jl " 8 " 8 4-10 " 8 " peck, or 537 6-10 " {I " 8 " 8 " 4 2-10 " half peck, or 268 8-10 " j " 4 " 4 " 4 8-10 " half gallon, or 141 4-10 " 4 2-10 " quart, or 67 2-10 " Prize Method of Curing Hams. The Hams of Maryland and Virginia have long enjoyed a wide celebrity. At the last exhi- ij bition of the Maryland State Agricultural Society, four premiums were awarded for Hams. We *| are informed by those who had the opportunity of examining them, that they were of first-rate 'i quality. The following is the Recipe by which the Hams were cured that obtained the first premium: i To every 100 lbs. of green Hams, take 8 lbs. of ground"'.4/wm Salt; 2 lbs. brown Sugar (or •■ Molasses equivalent,) 2 Ounces Saltpetre; 2 Ounces Pearlask, and 4 Gallons water. Dissolve | well, skimming off the skum arising on the surface. Pack the Hams compactly in a tight vessel or cask, rubbing the fleshy part with fine salt as you put them down, and be sure to stand them on the small end, when you place them in the barrel. In a day or two, pour the above pickle over the meat, taking care to keep it covered with the pickle. In four to six weeks, according to the weight and size of the Hams, (that is to say, the longer period for heavy Hams,) hang them (hock up) to dry. Let them remain for 3 or 4 days, and then smoke with green hickory mood, or corn-cobs. Smoke, until the rind becomes a dark brown. The meat should be perfectly cool before packing. Wash for Sore Eyes in Animals. Take of White Vitriol, two Scruples ; P.-igor of Lead, one Drachm ; Water, one Pint. Mix. Wash the eye with this twice a day. Ague in the Face. Mike a good sized poultice of Ginger and Flour, mix in twenty drops of the Kino of Pain, and apply it warm to the face. Or, Slcam the jaws or face over bitter herbs Or Dip a piece of cotton or lint in Dr. John Bull's King of Pain, and place it in the mouth, between the cheek and the teeth. A free discharge of Saliva follows, which usually gives immediate relief. Cramp in the Stomach, Take from 30 to 50 Drops of the King of Pain on Sugar, and repeat the dose every 10 minutes, until relieved.—Or, take ten drops of the essential Oil of Hemlock, in a little warm tea, sweetened At the same time apply Hops, simmered in Vinegar, as warm as can be borne, to tnc Stomach or Chest. Sore Lips. Wash the lips two or three times a day with a strong Tea made from the Bark of White Oak. At night, anoint them with the Black Salve. Urinary Obstructions, <£c. Drink freely of Parsley Root Tea. Or, steep Pumkin or Watermelon Seeds in Gin, and drink I about tliree glasses a day Or, take one Ounce of Uva Ursi, and pour upon it a Pint and a half of Boiling Water. Boil it down to a Pint. The dose is a small wine-glassful, two or three times a day. Internal Cure for the Piles. Take Cream of Tartar, and Pulverized Jalap, of each One Ounce; Electuary of Senna, Two Ounces; Flowers of Sulphur and Nitrate of Potash, of each Half an Ounce. Add Molasses sufficient to make a thick mass : roll into small cakes, quarter of an inch square; dissolve one in water, and take every night. Continue this for 2 or 3 weeks, and it will rarely fail to cure. At the same time be careful about the diet. For Inflamed Eyes. Take the whites of two Eggs, and stir them briskly with a lump of Alum, until a Curd is formed. Place this on the closed lid at night, and bind it on. It should be removed in 3 or 4 hours. Remedy for taking the Fire out of Burns. Take a ripe mellow Apple, pare, core, and beat it up with a little Sweet Oil, until it is a pretty soft poultice. Lay this directly over the Burn, and renew it every hour. It is a very effectual application. Or, Take Olive Oil and Lime Water, of each half a Pint Apply the mixture to the part burned, 5 or 6 times a day with a feather. Also keep cloths wet with it on the burn. Linseed Oil is nearly as good as Olive Oil. ECLIPSES IN THE YEAR 185 6. ■i E .ipses of the Sun, and two of the Moon, this year, the latter visible.—1. A total Eclipse M, invisible.--II.
