KNHE Chemical Pile Ointment, for the cure
Il of the Piles, IS not equalled by any thing
in this country, and foreigners, who have made
use of it. say there is nothing in Europe like it.
1t is an emollient, and at once soothing applica-
ton, giving immediate ease and tranquility to
the patient when laboring under this torment
ing disease. It's put upin beautiful Porcelain
Pots, imported from France, especially for the
purpose, accompanied with copious directions
for use, in the severest cases.

This may certify, that To- five or six years

A properties which afford immediate relief
to the afflicted, and at once soothes the excru-

out the trouble anu danger of extracting the
corn by cutting or caustic.
The proprietor has frequently applied the
plaster, and has never failed to effect cure
in some instances, in as short period as As
hours
A gentleman in Boston was troubled with a
corn for nearly 30 years, which was cured bv
the above plaster, in few days, all other ap-
plications having failed to produce the desir-
ed effect.
A gentleman in New York was sorelv af-
flicted and quite lame, from bad corn, which
was cured By four applications of the above
plaster.
Numerous other testimonials can be offered
to corroborste the above statements but II is
entirely unnecessary to chronicle a lono sheet

Chapman, NJ. p professor Of the Institutes and
practice Of medicine in the University ofPenn-
sylvania, physician to the Hospital, and Phila-

The Cough Mixture has been in use several

any other article in the market that VIC do not
hesitate to recommend 1t as the most eficacious
medicine for coughs and affections ofthe lungs
generally, now in use.
1t is proper to add that the Cough Mixture
does not contain opium in any form whatever,
which is productive of bad effects by continued
use, and too often constitutes the basis of the
popular cough preparations of the day.
The number of does each bottle contains is
double to that of any other article offered to the

purchaser than anv other medicine now In use.

Resolved, That the prices Of Tuition be as

It viii be perceived from the foregoing reso-
! lutions, that the rates of boarding and tuition
have be- changed from the former prices
This course the Trustees have been Obliged to
adopt. They have employed competent and
| efficient instructesses, who must be Literally
compensated, and the resources OF the rnsttu-
ton are the only fund from which that COM
pensation should be drawn. Hitherto this fund
has proved insufficient.
The rates which are now established, both
| for board and tuition, are such as are adopted
in other and neighboring schools, and are sucf
as the necessities of the College demand.
Resolved, That no young lady be admitted
as student in the College till the ,chole tut
ton, and half the boarding fees be paid at III
time she joins the College.
