THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITIPS
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

riIHE VIG OUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN

LIFE.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate

structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.

Dr. Rilord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at lls., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and may be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,

"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and Sunday Times,'
i2d March, 1856.
"The author has Conferred a great boon by publishing, this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—"Daily Telegraph," March 27,1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility-, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it wilt be found valuable and useful."—Record.
