This curious and very interesting little lady is 2i years of age,
four feet six inches in height, and weighs l:2lbs. She has thick
black hair upon the nose, forehead, and upon every part of her
facie and person. excepting the front part of the neck, hands,
and feet. The flesh upon her forehead is from one half to three-
quarters of an Inch in thickness, the ears are longer than usual,
and covered with hair. She has very pretty whiskers, beard,
and moustache ; her eyes are large and fine, the centre being
so jet black that the pupil is scarcely perceptible ; her nose is
without cartilage from the bridge down, and very pliable; her
mouth is elongated, lips thick, back teeth perfect and very fine,
with double gums in the upper and lower jaws in the front part
of the mouth, but only one row of front teeth, which are
covered when the gums are closed, they being in the back gum
of the lower jaw, which extends much more than ordinarily,
and the angle of the face is very different; her hair is black,
straight, and abundant; her form and limbs are quite perfect,
with wonderfully small hands and feet; altogether Miss Julia
is the most singular, curious. and pleasing specimen of huma-
nity in the world, and will entertain her audience by dancing
Fancy Dances, and singing English and Spanish Romances.
She dresses with great taste in rich Spanish and other costumes,
and after each performance comes among the audience to con-
verse and answer questions. Julia Pastrana is sociable mud
polite, and besides being undoubtedly the greatest living Natural
Curiosity, she is a Lady in every respect; and not only Scientific
Men take great interest in her, but also ladies and children
are highly amused by her strange appearance, her Dancing and
Singing.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.—
Pain is the premonitor of death ; relieve the pain and you
check the disease. These remedies are the marvel of the age,
and the combination of rare medicinal substances. The won•
derful cures effected by them daily have established them as
two of the finest preparations ever made known. It is an
astonishing fact that they will heal and cure ulcers of twenty
years' standing, and all cutaneous eruptions readily yield to
their mighty power, even after every other treatment has been
resorted to ineffectually.
