SHERWOOD'S
EIectrO-Magnetic Remedies,

FOR CHRONIC DISEASES,
OF the class Hypertrophy, including all the
forms Of Scrolita, viz:
Tubercular Consumption, White Swellings.
Dyspepsia, Scrofulous Sore Eyes.
Chronic Disease Of the Liver,
OF the Heart, Scald Head,
OF the Spleen, Kings Evil,
Of the Kidnies, Leucorrhes, ~ Eom.,s
OF the Spine, Chlorosis.
Monorrhagis. ''"r'''
THESE are but different notifications OF
the same disease, arising from the same cause,
distinguished by the same diagnosis, and
curable by the same remedies. Their com.
mon cause is an irregular action OF the Elec-
tro- Galvanlc forces in the system, they may
all be detected by pressure upon the sides OF
the vertibre and glnnds Of the neck, which
elicits the Electro -Galyanic Symptoms, and
they may be cured by these Electro Magnet
ic remedies. The latter are accompanied by
compendious medical treatise, explaining
the principles of the discovery upon which
they are founded, and stating the manner in
which they are to be applied. In this work
DIR. Sherwood demonstrates the fact that cve-
ry part of the human body, together with
every particle of animate and inanimate mat
ter, is either in n negative or positive state
of electricity and that every motion, in all
matter, whether in the largest masses or in
the smallest PARTICLES, is produced by the at
tracing and repelling forces of this univer-
sal principle. The morbid action which pro-
duces disease Of the organs or limbs, he proves
to be occasioned by the undue prcpondennce
of one of these forces in the system, and his
remedies restore health by subduing this ir-
regular action to an equilibrium. by this
means, the very seeds Of the disease are
eradicated, and a permanent cure effected,
even in cases where all hope OF relief from
other sources is abandoned. The Electro
Magnetic Remedies are the only preparations
applicable to this prevailing class Of disease,
and they never disappoInt the confidence re-
posed in them. They can be used with per-
feet safety and success, without dieting, or
any inconvenience.

cation to DOCT l.. r. GALLUP,

We sat beneath the empowering shade
Which Summers rustling foliage made,
Saw where the curling breeIas played
Along the wave.
No marked decay had scared the plain
The sporlivo bands Of Pleasures train,
Each said that Summers joyous reign
Would not end.
Round went the Jest, the song rose high,
Aud mirth, and Joy and melody
sat thronesl la every conscious eye,
With laughing glee
Sudden, TO hush the merrinent,
messenger BY heaven sent
The gale passed by and with IL rent
A yellow leaf.
Awhile II circled in the beam,
Lake the phantom OF an carly dream,
Then lightning on the silent stream,
Was borne away.
Ceased is the song; the Jest Ms vain
Died on the lip-no mirih remuined
Each saddensd eye proclaims The reign
or Summer done.
Then woke the moralist's reply,
And said with many heavy sigh
"I.iko yonder stream that's gliding by,

"Upon Its waves like leaves we ride,
Hone swells the sail-onward we glide
Then sunk beneath the increasing tide,
Are seen no more.

MoDE OF SETTLING ON THE PRAfnTEs.-

that part Of The prairie that adlolns the TIM

sntlre praire as with belt. The burning
oi the pralres is then stopped the whole dis.
tancc OF the circuit, in tho neighborhood o.
these iarns, TO prevent injury to the fences
nnd other improvements. This is done by
plouglilng two or three burrows all around
the settlement. In short time the timber
springs up spontaneously on all tho parts no,
burnt, and the groves and forcsts commence
gradual encroachmcnt ON the adjacent
prairics. In breaking up prairie lond, &c.
for cultivation, they usually plough with three
or four yoke OF oxen; the shear plough turn

to four incbes deep the sod turning entirely
