Messrs. Conastock & Co.,
GENTIEMENN--You are at liberty to make use

TCERTIFICATE OF JUDGE PATTERSON
| HEREBY CERTIFY that my daughter has been
afflicted with sick headache for the space of about
20 vears,--the attacks occurring once in about
two weeks, frequently lasting "a hours, during
which time the paroxysms have been so severe,
as apparently soon to deprive her OF life. And at
ter having tried almost all other remedies in vain,
have been induced as last resort to try Spohn's
Headache Remedy as sold by you; and to the
great disappointment and JOY Of hers and all her
friends found very material relief from the first
dose ofthe medicine. She has followed up the
directions tn the article, and in every case when
an attack was tn eatened has found immediate re-
II lief, until she is near permanently cured. The
attacks are now very seldom, and disappear al
most Immediately after taking the quantity d.
rected. A hope that others may be benefited BY
the use of this truly invaluable medicine, has in
duced me to send you the above, and remain your
ob't servant, JEHU PATTERSON.
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas.

TO The BALD HEADED,
AND OTHERS.

nOES any know neighbOr or friend
~ who has been Bald, and whose head is
now covered with fine hair? One whose
coat collar was covered with dandruff, though
brushed every hour-Or one whose hairs at
early age we're turning grey, who now has
not a grey hair2 Children whose heads
were covered with scurf, Whose hair would
not grow, that are now growing the fullest
crops of hair? Some cases must be known
TO most persons. Ask them the cause, and
you will be told, these things have been
done by the use Of the BALM OF COLUM-
BIA. Of2O years growth is this article, its
demand increasing annually some hundred
per cent.-though when discovered not OPP
posed by any thing for the same purpose, now
assailed by almost numberless mushroom
trash preparations that will ruin the hair if
used to any extent. Can more than these
facts be wanted-refer to the recommends
tons by list of names of responsibility,
unequalled by any other article. Look to
these things-buy this article. Stay and
preserve your hair by lis use, or if bald re-
store it. Ladies, attend to this-hundreds
in fashionable life are using it as the only ar
ticIe really fit for the toilet. Long hair is
very apt to fall out. Ladies, use the Balm
of Columbia in time to save yourselves the
disgrace of badness by neglect of your per-
sons.
1t is your duty, as moralists, TO preserve
the beauties of nature, with which bount-
full Creator has endowed you-use the Balm
for it will do it.
Caution to be Observed.
Several most fragrant attempts have been
made to counterfeit the Balm of Columbia.
Some of the impostors have. gone so far as to
counterfeit the splendid wrappers, and the
Falls of Niagara, and every external mark
except the name of Comstock, which they
dare not forge
To avoid impositions therefore, Away:
look for the name of Comstock g. Co. or l.
S. Comstock, and never buy the article un
less it has that name upon it.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE B. TEN
PERANCE SOCIETY,

Mr.. Presldent--About a year has elapsed
since a few individuals among us began to dis
cuss the propfiety OF being known at home
aud abroad as the friends of temperance aud
freedom.
When the expedency Of forming a temper
ance society was first discussed, it was sup
posed that we could marshall into the ranks
from eight to twelve, who would pledge them
selves to abstain from the accursed thing. No
tce was accordingly given from the desk that
lecture upon the subject Of temperance you'd
be delivered, and Temp. Society formed. AT
the appointed time large assembly We're
drawn together, and after the lecture consti-
tuition was adopted, and the pledge circulated,
when instead of s or 1877 cams to our re-
lief. We meet to day to celebrate the first
anniversary of the :. Bloomington Temp. So
cieiy," we look upon it as proud day in the
history Of our town---and trust that it may be
referred to in after days, as the beginning of a
glorious reformation, which shall not cease so
long as there is a druukard in the land.
Your committee are happy to say that they
no longer doubt as to the final result, enough
has transplred during the past year to satisfy
the most inctedulous, that the cause of total
and entire abstinence from all that will intox-
icate, must and will ultimately prevail.
We deem II unnecessary, al this time, to 90
into detail of all the proceedings Of the soci-
ETY. for the past year, as all the material facts
have been spread before you in the reports of
each preceding quarter.
Suffice 10 say, that since the first circulation
OF the pledge, liz Others have added their
names to It, For the first quarter our meetings
We're hed once IN two weeks, when addresses
were delivered ard the pledge received addi-
tona! namesASubsequea our meetings have
beea,less frequented, bat perhaps equally ben
eticial. There have been added to the temp.
list 1879 names in all, out of this number two
have died, and ten have been expelled for
violation OF their pledge, leaving now upon
list !27 members.---W bile, therefore, we have
ten less upon the list than we once had, vet
we beiive we have more strength, as some
who were for time members. were only an
incubus upon upon us, and tended to DESTROY

society to be rot.unlke the history of all great
moral reformailons, some there are who run
well tor season and then faint by the way,
or are overwhelmed by mis- taken, yet destruc-
tive appetite.
