DR.. JAYNE'S TONIC vERMIFUGE,

which perfectly SAFE and pleasant that children
will refuse to take it. 1t efectually destroys
WORMS; peutralizes acidity sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts general
and permanent Ionic, and is therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remittent 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 su-
perabundant slime or mucous 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 tit is impossible for worms to remain in
the body.
1t is harmless in its effects on the system and the
health of the patient is always improved by its use
even when no Worms discovered Numerous
certificates of its usefulness have been received,
which the proprietor does not consider necessary
publish yet to give the reader idea of its verm
fuge powers, he will mention few 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

Josiah Thompson near Salem N j., administered
this Vermifuge 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 bis
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 it administered
to his little daughter about three years old when
she had number of discharges from her bowels

afflicted with cancer in tho breast, and for four
years it was, thought, incurabe; it spread very
fast, that it had nearly covered the whole breast,
and for many weeks SO reduced with the loss
of blood and the pain of the wound, that was un-
able to turn myself in bed and my sufferngs during
the whole winter were more than can tell. With
the advice of my friends, called two Of the most
eminent physicians of the place, who recommended
your preparation of Sarsaparilla knowing of nothing
that would be as likely to help me- which advice |
readily received, and before had taken one bottle
found change in my feelings which induced me to
take more, and when had taken the third bottle |
was like another person both in health and strength

As before observed, but little care is used i'll saving or applying manure :; the first set tiers appearing, too generally, to have adopt ed the strange idea, that aH the land would alike bear continued cropping, without giv- ing to il any return. So common seems to have been this notion, that it Is no: very un- usual to see the stables and hog peus, Where such things as hog pens arc used,) placed in situations, where the manure may be got out ot the Why without the trouble of carting t. For this purpose, they are sometimes placed near steep banks, or over small streams or "rnns,2 where, as the manure falls, It may be carried of by thc water More than one in- stance has been seen, where having failed to secure the most farora5ie site. the stable has been actually pulled down and rebuilt in an- other place, 10 avoid the inconvenience oe- easioned hy the accumulation of manure L. And this too, where the stinted crops show ed the most obvious necessity of returning to the impoverished soil some portion of those fertizing substances of which 1t had been SO unwisely deprived.
 In this section Of country, as in others where the same wasting course is practiced, the last remedy. the grand escape from all its UohbieS, IS to "sell out ana einagfdte to tile west, the tsest, 1cest, and Hesperian Eigsium, winch like the beautiful rainbow, recedes as t is approached, leaving its visionary pursu- CT in disappointment at last. Yet will this rarGging population move on, spreading de- solution as they 70, till having overleaped the Rocky mountains, and being finally check cd by the wave of the Pacific, they will pro- bably trccp that there are ''no more worlds to conquer fa
 Let not our remarks on this subject be mis- understood. Although the practices we have been here deprecating are far too common, yet examples of good farming may be found in the west, that will bear a comparison with any in other parts of the country. IL is on- f ly to be regretted that such instances are too
 rare.
