THE question is no longer asked, Scan Asthma
L be Cured!" 1t has been satisfactory settled
within the last two months that Folgers Olosaoni-
an will produce a cure quicker than any other re-
medy in the world, and references can be given
to persons in and cut of the city who have eAperi-
enced It's wonderful virtues, who had tried for years
all other remedies in vain.
Mr.. WILSON, a brick layer, residing al Hobo
ken, N. j., had tried every remedy which he
could hear Of Tor the relief of asthma, and had
spent more than one hundred dollars in endeavor-
ing TO procure help, but in vain. He commenced
using the Olosaonian, January 2Ist. The first
dose he took gave him relief, and atterward
his wife called to say that the small quantity OF
this remedy which he had taken had done him
more good than any and all the medicines he had
ever used in his life.
Mrs. Bell, the wife OF Robert P. Bell, of Nor
rstown, n. j., who was severely athlete with asth
ma, was given up by htrphysicians. She was re
moved to the set board In the hope of palliaung
her Distressing symptoms, but with no benefit
One bottle of the Oosaonian far relieved her that
she able TO get up from her bed and dress h r
self, thing she had not done before in months,
and she has now returned to her residence in Nor
ristown, n. j., with every aspect of being spec
Oily restored.

Cough and gives refreshing sumbers TO the wea-

James J.. Devoe, l0l Reade street. had Ion Q

companied with short, hacking cough, he raised
matter freely, had lost his appetite and felt alarmed
at his situation. He had tried various remedies

MESMERIC REVELATION.

Whatever doubt may still envelop
the rationale of mesmerism, its startling
facts are now almost universally admit
ted. Of these latter, those who doubt
are your mere doubters by profession
an Improbable and disreputable tribe.
There can be no more absolute waste o.
time than the attempt TO proue, at the
preseut day, that man, by mere exercise
Of will, can so impress his fellow as tc
cast him into an abnormal condition,
whose phenomena resemble very closely y
those of death, or at least resemble them
more nearly than they do the Phhenom>
ena Of any other normal condition within
our cognizance, that, while in this state,
the person so impressed employs only
with effort, and then feebly. the exter-
nal organs ofsense, yet perceives, with
keenly refined perception, and through
channels supposed unknown, matters
beyond the scope Of the physical organs;
that, moreover, his intellectual faculties
are wonderfully exalted and invigorated;
that his sympathies with 1.-The person so
impressing him are profound; and dnaliy,
that his susceptibility to the impression
increases with its frequency, while in
the same proportion, the peculiar phe.
nomena elected are more extended and
more pronounced.

not many days ago between sleep wa.

I had been long in the habit Of mes,
merizlng the person in question, (Mr
Vankirk) and the usual acute suscepti

ception had supervened. For many
months he had been Iaboring under con-
firmed phthsis. the more distressing
effects OF which had beenreieved by my
manipulations; and on the night Of
Wednesday, the fifteenth instant, | was
summoned to his bedside.
The invalid was suffering with acute
pain in the region of the heart, and
brsathed with great difficulty, having all
the ordinary symptoms of asthma. In
spasms such as these he had usually
found relief from the application of mus,
tard to the nervous centres, but to- night
this had been attempted in vain.
As | entered his room he greeted me
with cheerful smile, and although evi.
IDENTITY in much bodily pain, appeared to
be, mentally. quite at ease.
