Pile Ointment.

NNHE Chemical Pile Ointment, for the cure
h 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. 1t is put upin beautiful Porcelain
Pots, imported from France, especially for the
purpose, accompanied with copious directions
for use, in the severest cases.

teke much pleasure in stating for the bene-
fit of those laboring under the disagreeable dis
ease, the Piles, that have found nothing so
efficacious and speedily successful in curing
them, having been much troubled, as the
"Chemical Pile Ointment E. MUNRoF.
ST. Francisville, (La.) Jan. %, 1881.
This may certify, that for five or six years
past have been troubled severely with the
Piles, and until made use of the Chemical
Pile Ointment, found nothing that would give
me relief; therefore, would recommend it in
preference to any article whatever.

Cough Mixture.

DOCT. CHAPMAN'S COUGH MIX
~ TURE, for the cure of Diseases of the |
Chest or Lungs, as Coughs, Colds, Infuenzas,
Asihnas, CdtarrhS, Hectic FeUers, Splitting of
Blood, and other diseased Instructions and ir-
ritations Of the respiratory system.
The formula for this preparation Of medi-
cine is by that eminent medical gentleman, N
Chapman, M. ID professor of the institutes and
practice Of medicine in the University ofPenn-
sylvania, physician to the Hospital, and Phia-
delphia Almshouse and Infirmary.
The Cough Mixture has been in use several
years, and It's success is so much greater than
any other article in the market that we do not
hesitate to recommend II as the most efficacous
medicine forcoughs and affections ofthe lungs
generally, now IN use.
1t is proper toadd that the Cough Mixture
does not contain opium in any form whatever,
which Is productive of bad effects by continued
use, and teo 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
public, and renders it far less expensive to the
purchaser than any other medicine now in use.

"A T the last session of this Institution, the
"A following resolutions were adopted by the
Board of Trustees, which will continue in force
the ensuing session:
RESOLVED, That the board of each young lady
be 800 per session Of twenty weeks, 10 be
paid one half in advance.
This sum is intended to include room, bed
Ding fuel, washing, and all other contingent
and extra charges connected with the boarding
department.
RESOLVED, That the prices Of Tuition be as
follows:
Preparatory Department, pr session, $40 90
Advanced Department, 20 90
Tins Department embraces all the studies

ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT.
Music, including the use ofthe Piano, $40 90
Needle W ork, 10 90

II Will be perceived from the foregoing reso-
luilOns, that the rates Of boarding and tuition
have been chahged 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 institu-
ton are the only fund from which that CON-
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 such
as the necessities of the College demand.
RESOLVED, That no young lady be adopittet
as a student in the College till the ,oiole tut
ton, and half the boarding fees be paid at thc
lime she joins the College.
