IrREAT English Remedy for coughs

VI colds, asthma, and cOnsnmption.--The
great and only remedy for Colds, Coughs, Asth-
ma, and Consumption, is the Hungarian Bal
sam of Life, discovered by the celebrated DR..
Buchan of London, England, and introduced into
the United States under the immediate superjn-
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
SlBLE CASES that can be found in the commu-
nifty; 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
ed and incurable. The Hungarian Balsam has
cured, and will cure, the mos, desperate of cases.
1t is no quack nostrum, but standard English
medicine, Of known and established efficacy.
Every family in the United States should be sup
piled with Bnchan's Hungarian Balsam of Life not
only to counteract the consumptive tendencies of
the climate, but to be used preventive medicine
in all cases 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 sweats, Emaciaton and Gene,
raj Debility, Asthma, Influenza, Hopping Cough,
and Group.
nSod in large bottles at ~ per bottle, with full
directions for the restoration of health.
Pamphlets, containing a mass of English and
American certificates, and other evidence, showing
the unequalled merits ofths great English remedy,
may be obtained Of the agents gratuiously.

CITY Innrmary and Dispensary.-Tt

TITY Innrmary and Dispensary.-The
~ directors OF this institution take great pleasure
in announcing to its patrons and friends that IL has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated to add to the comforts of the pa
tients. The inhrmary has been divided in such
manner TO separate the several classes of patients
viz white and colored, male and females and, from
It's position and regulations, prOfers retirement and
privacy as far as can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance, and the lnhrmary is visited daily at II O'Clock
a m, by the attending hysician and surgeon, who
also devote as much time is necessary for pre-
scriptohs operations, and dispensing Of medicines
for all such dispensary patients may be in wait
ing. Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate IN securing the services Of the SIS
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infirmary,
conduct its affairs, and give their undivided atten-
tlon to the nursing and comforts Of the sick.
Private patients may enter the infrmary under the
special Of any one of its directors, but other
wise will comply with the regulations Of the instit-
tion.
In consequence of the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements they are
under the necessity of charging patients according to
the following schedule, viz:
frNate patents. ...............S5 per week.
First class OF patients. ...........4 do.
oecohu CLASS. ...-........,....3 do.
Cases of mania potu ....S IS to $40 do.
In every instance the board must be paid weekly,
In advance, to the sister SUPERIOR who is authorized
to receive it, or security for ts payment must be
given, the security being responsible citizen Of this
District .. ...... ..r
Ii is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable to carry into effect the great design of this IN
stution as, from the heavy expenses incurred they
cannot extend their charities to the poor as far as
they could wish. Thus far the receipts from patients
have not met the current expenses; hence but few
charity patients have been can be received unless
aid be given by our corporation and citizens 1t is
gratifying, however, to the directors to have had it
IN their power to the of humanity through
their dispensary arrangement, by which hundreds
of poor, sick, and disabled have had dispensed to
them medicines, with medical and surgical vice.
All classes Of diseases will be admitted into the
lnhrmary, except smallpox and maniacs For
these the directors regret to say, no provision has
been made. -. ..,s ..s.
