GREAT ENGLISH REMEDY

UREh ELI
For Coughs, Colds Asthma, and Consumption!
L Asthma, and Consumption, is the Hungarian
Balsam Of Life, discovered by the celebrated Dr.
Buchan of London, England, and introduced into
the United States under the immediate superin-
tendence of the inventor.
The extraordinary success of this medicine in the
curse of pulmonary Diseases warrants the American
agent in soliciting for treatment the WORST POS
S1BLE CASES that can be found in the commu-
nifty; cases that seek relief in vain from any Of the
common remedies of the day, and have been given
up by the most distinguished physicians as confirm
cured, and will cure, the mosl desperate of cases.
II is no quack nostrum, but standard English
medicine, of known and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should be sup
piled with Buchan's Hungarian Balsam Of Life, not
only to counterfeit the consumptive tendencies of
the climate, but to be used as preventive medicine
in all of Colds, Coughs, Splitting Of Blood,
Pain in the Side and Chest, Irritation and Soreness
Of the Lungs, Bronchitis, Difficulty of Breathing,
Hectic Fever Night Sweas, Emaciation and Gene
raj Debility, Asthma, Influenza, Hopping Cough,
and Group.
I-Sod in large bottles at II per bottle, with full
directions for the restoration of health
| Pamphlets, containing mass of English and
American certificates, and other evidence, showing
the unequalled merits ofthis great English remedy,
may be obtained of the agents gratuiously.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT,

MEDlCAL DEfARl MEM.
The plan of instruction in this department Of the
University, presents pecuartes, to be found in no
other school of medicine in the Union. The lee
lures commence on the LIST of October and terminate
on the 9th Of June ensuing.
Owing to the length of the session, which en-
braces period of nine months, three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which other med
cal institutions are usually assigned to six; and the
students seldom required to attend more than
two lectures on the same day. By this arrange
ment, the students have opportunity of being
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and other
elementary branches of medical SCIENCE before they
investigate their applications in connexion with the
study Of the practice of Medicine and Surgery.
Immediately before each lecture, the students are
subjected TO full and rigid examination on the pre-
ceding lecture, or on portions of approved text
books. 1t is apparent that the plan, Of which the
outlines have been briefly stated, is which allows
the student to commence well as TO complete his
medical studies in the institution, and presents a
happy combination Of the advantages of the system
of instructions by private pupage and that of public
lectures.
Any person of approved moral conduct may offer
as a candidate, and receive the degree of M. D.,
without reference to the time he has been engaged
in the study Of medicine, of joining the school,
provided he undergoes, in a satisfactory manner,
the various examinations prescribed by the enact
mcnts. The professors are:
Robert E. Rogers, M. D., Professor Of Chemis.
try, Pharmacy, and Matoria Medica.
Henry Howard, M. D., Professor Of Pathology
and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence.
James L. Cabel M. D., Professor of Anatomy,
Physiology, and Surgery

From the Brooklyn Daily Advertiser.

The following note was received this morning from
ex-sheriff Sryker. We met him in Fulton street,
limping along by the aid of cane, and, on inquiry
found he suffering from severe attack al rheu-
matism. Having heard mich said of the efficiency OF
the Galvanic Plaster in such cases, and being in
possession Of one, with no pains to be alIevated-
except the pain of having empty purse, which the
plaster had failed to remedy--we proceeded to our
dwelling, procured the Galvanc, and presented it to
our friend, with the request to acquaint with the
result the next time we met. Not having seen him
since, we suppose he was too much elated to wait
an interview, and sent us the following note. We
know not whether we shall be doing right to publish
it, but take the responsibility, for the benefit Of others
who are suffering from the distressing malady, rheu-
matsm.
