have recommended the Periocal Spectacles to sew
eral patients, and have received from most of them
warm encomiums upon the article. They assert that
these Glasses do not fatigue the eyes by long use
is apt to be the case with the double convex Spec
tacies while the command of the eyes over the OBJ
iects of vision is much greater. This corresponds
with the opinion any optcian would form from his
knowledge of the principles upon which those Glass
es are adjusted--so to converge the rays coming
from different quarters to the same focal distance.
The eyes can be turned to a considerable extent
therefore, under these Glasses, without involving the
necessity of moving the head.

n VHIS term may be justly applied 10 the discov-
- cry OF compromising medicines with the best

dren and adults may now eat medicine with as much

For this discovery we are indebted to A Sherman,

regular practitioner of medicine in that CITY for the
last ten years, and also member of the New York

JEWErTs IMPROVED PATENT
CAREY pLOU GIL

CAR EY pLOU G. HI .
THE subscribers have the pleasure Of announ-
cling to their numerous friends and customers. that
they have now on hand i large supply Of the above
ploughs Of this years manufacture, which, owing to
the change of times we are enabedto offer at great
y reduced prices.
From the liberal encouragement extended to US
last year by the sale of 1000 Of these poughs
and the universal satisfaction they gave, we were
induced to spair pains in selecting the very best
Of materials, and employing the best mechanical
skill in their construction. The consequence has
been that we have produced results that are highly
satisfactory to ourselves, and must be TO those who
purchase Of us. We have now plough which is
well adapted to our soil, that it sets all COMPETE
ton at defiance. For the information of thousc ul,-
acquainted with its construction, we will offer this
brief explanation: The whole snrface Of the plough
is ground smooth. The mould-board is made of
wrought iron The shear of steel, (Which is at
tached TO the moud-board by three small bolts) SO
that it is easily taken off by of the clcvispin,
to be repaired or replaced by new one The shape
Of the moud-board is constructed on strictly scen-
tc principles, that it scours perfectly bright in
the most loose and loamy SOIL which is in truth the
great dissderatum in this section Of the country as
it thereby enables team to accomplish at least one
third more work in day, with Ear greater case, and
ip much better manner, than with one that will
not scour, This every practical man knows With
i, the part year have received the warmest test-
rDonals in regard to them from hundreds of our
practical men who have them in use and at the ST.
Louis County Agricultural society's Fair held in
October last, ON trial and awarded the pre-
MUM. Alsoa diploma at the Fair Of the Mechan-
les Institute held in this city in November last But
the best evidence Of their superiority TO all others
now in use. is the fact that no farmer who has used
them will, for any consideration, make nse Of any
other We have reduced the price at retail for cash
in hand to 50 IS for the two horse ploughs, wifi
iron strap forthe beam, and 81 rs for the one hor
ploughs. A liberal discount made to those VT O
