DR.. McNAIR'S ACOUSTIC OIL-Those deaf
from infancy often receive, in most miraculous
manner, their hearing when they least expect it, by
some triAing accident or event, which shows them
how easily they might have much sooner had their
hearing, and saved themselves and their friends the
pain of conversing in loud tone, without pleasure
of being neglected and shunned to avoid that dis
tress which is felt mutually by the deaf person and
his hearers. How sacred duty, therefore, ii is
that we use all necessary means to remove such an
affection, and enjoy the social qualities implanted in
our natures! This EAR OIL has the effect so TO re-
lieve the tension, and bring into the natural action
of the parts, SO to the hearing when lost or
impaired This is proved by so many and we-known
cases. that, where known it needs no praise. The
great wish of the proprietor is that each may speak
to others of its uncommon virtues, till sufferers may
know. and be relieved and restored by its use This
will be done in all cases of recent DEAFNESS and
many OF long standing. ALL DEAF PERSONS
should use this oil It will relieve at once, or, if
DEAFNESS is just commencing, will remove the
cause and check its progress. Those who have been
long deaf should continue its application few weeks
to hear well. Each flask has full directions for use
attached to it.

WORMS! woRMs!!!

OF all diseases to which children are exposed,
none are so fatal to them as worms. Unfortunately
children. are seldom free from them, and as they |
initiate the symptoms of almost every other COM
plant, they often produce alarming effects without
beng suspected. Worms are not only cause of
disease themselves, but by their irritation aggravae
all other diseases, wandering from part of the
body another, winding themselves into large balls,
and obstructng the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death The best
remeay ever yet known Is
DR.. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE,
which is perfectly safe and pleasant that children
will not refuse to take it. 1t ehectually destroys
WORMS; neutralizes acidity or sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts as general
and permanent Tonic, and 49, therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Kemttent Fevers, In
Digestion &c., and is certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE.
It not only destroys Worms, and invigorates the
whole SYSTEM but it dissolves and carries off the SUI
perabundant slime mucous SO prevalent in the
stomach and bowels of children more especially OF
those in bad health. This mucous forms The bed or
nest in which worms produce their young; and by
removing lit is impossible for worms to remain in
the body.
1t harmless in its effects on the system, and the
health of the patient is always improved by its use,
even when no Worms are discovered. Numerous
certificates Of its usefulness have been received,
which the proprietor does not consider necessary to
publish yet to give the reader idea of its vermi-
fuge powers, he will mention few cases He gave
it to his little nephew, not four years old, and in
few days he discharged upwards of ninety large
worms. He also gave it to his daughter, then about
three years old, when it brought away thirty worms
in one night.
Josiah Thompson, near Salem, N j., administered
this Vermfuge to child between two and three
years old and says that in few days she discharged
one hundred and twenty-seven large Worms.
Mr.. Joseph A. Lents, of the Penn Township Sa-
wings Institution, in this city, gave it to Of his
children, and says that after the sixth dose it brought
away about fifty Worms at once five and six inches
long.
Mr.. Ferdinand Woodruff used two bottles of this
Vermlfuge for DYSPEPSIA and in the course of
two weeks discharged upwards Of thirty pieces of
TAPE WORM, and was thereby perfectly cured.
Another gentleman Of this city had il administered
to his little daughter, about three years old, when
she had number Of discharges from her bowels,
composed entirely of little white thread worms He
says, "they came away from her, not only by hun
dreds, but may truly say by thousands, separately
and in solid balls as large hickory nuts composed
entirely of dead worms

Gentlemen Parental feelings induce US to make
the following statement Of facts in relation to the
important cure of our little daughter, wholly effected
by the Of Sands's Sarsaparilla For nearly three
years she afflicted with most nveterate erup-
ton on the body, which at times bad, connect
ed with internal disease, that despaired of her
life The complaint commenced in the roots Of the
hair, and gradually spread until the whole head was
evelopel, and then attacked the ears and down
the neck, and continuing to increase until it covered
the most Of the body 1t commenced with small
pimpe or pustule, from which water at first dis
charged; thus produced great itching and burning
then matter or pus formed the skin cracked aud
bled and the pus discharged freely. The sulerings
OF the child were so great as almost wholly to pre-
vent natural rest, and the odor from the discharges
offensive, as TO make it difficult to pay that partic-
ular attention the nature of the required. The
disease called Scald Head and general Salt
Rheum. We tried various remedies, with little ben.
et and considered her almost beyond the reach
of medicine; but from the known virtue of your
Sarsaparila, we were induced to give it trial
Before the first bottle was all used, we perceived
an improvement in the appearance Of the eruption ;
but the change was so rapid for the better, that
could scarcely give credence to the evidence of our
own eyes We continued its use for few weeks,
and the result is perfect cure To parents we
would say-lf you have children suffering with any
disease of the skin, use Sands's Sarsaparia. With
feelings Of gratitude and respect we are yours &C.
