ITS COURSE rs ONE9RD.

! az great has been the demand for FoIger's
~ Olosaonian or All Healing Basam, and il has
given such general satisfaction to those who have
used 1t and become acquainted with its virtues that
| 1t now stand pre.eminent a remedy in Diseases
| OF the Lungs, and the testimony which has been
given by different persons who have been cured by
is altogether voluntary oil their pant. They have
given it in the hope that all who may fad themselves
in need Of this remedy may apply for it without de-
lay.
Read the following letter received tIom the Rev
Mr. Shimeall Pastor of st Judes Episcopal Free
Church. Mr 5. has not ONLY used he medciu.
himself but has witnessed its effects in several very
trying cases of disease. The letter will show his
opnon of its virtues.
Dear Sir: Believing it to be but an act of COM
mon humanity to those suffering under the various
diseases of Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Consump-
.ron. Asthma, dc. to point them to a safe, speedy
and radical remedy, tahe pleasure in bearing my
testimony to your invaluable medicine called Oosa-
oman or All Healing Balsam. OF its efficacy /
can speak first from my own experience. Being
subject from exposure more or l,ss to the vicissi.
tudes of our climate to frequent attacks of Inhuen.
"a Hoarsencss, &C. have always found it to afford
almost instantaneous, and always by perseverance,
in its use ellectual relief To particular friend
of mine suffering severely under Asthma, and whol
had despahed Of obtaining relief rom any humanI
source, upon my recommendation was induced to
give the Olosaoniaa tIiol and he pronounced the
effect produced upon him perfect cham aflordng
him immediate and almost instantaneous relief, In |
another instance recommended it to a female
friend far advanced in Consumption. After the use
of the first bottle her cough entirely removed
and her appetite and strength restored to slch
legree as to astonish all who saw her With
ong cherished aid firmly established prejudice a.
yainst the thousand and one specifics put forth in
hese days sovereign panaccas for all disease,
assure YOU that nothing short of my firm conviction
If the claims of your medicine to an origin so re
pectahe, and to the effects oft as herein cerifed;
9TH by my own experience and observation, |
could not have been induced thus to come forward
Is witness in its behalf | have the honor to be,
sir, respectfully yours, II. &: SHlMEALL.

Long years have o er her down.
Yet still she stranis the aching clasp
That binds her virgin zone,

As cheerful as she can.
Her waist is ampler than her life,
For life is but span.

Her hair is almost gray;
Uby will she train that winter curl

How can she lay her glasses down,
And say she reads "a we'll,

Two towels and spoon.
They braoed my aunt agains, board,
To make her straight and tall;

down,
To make her light and small;
They finched her feet, they sinsed her
hair,
They screwed il up with pins;
O, never mortal suffered more
Ia penance for her sins.
So when my precious aunt was done,
Ny grand father brought her back,
by day light, lest some rapid youth
Might follow on the track,
'Ah!' said my grandsise, as he shook
Some powder in his pan,

.3duertiSing. The following re-
marks from the Wheeling(Va.) Times
may be read with profit by our mer-
chants who do not advertise, for they
are full of sound, practical sense.
"a friend remarked the other day
TO us that business that is not worth
advertising is not worth doing. There
is much truth in the remark, but truth
does not seem to be appreciated by
most of our business men. Many
men think to cease advertising is econ
omy, it reduces expenses; that if they
have but little business to do it is not
worth advertising Is advertising less
useful than insuring! Is it less useful
than ii sign? Is it less essential than a
good business stand? We think not.
4 man does not buy goods to keep
them on hand. If he did, it might be
well to insure without Advertising
Again, advertising is like travelling
sign. No business man will hesitate
to pay SEQ for sign, where he would
never think of paying half the sum for
adv ertising. The one is sign seen
only by those who pass the store, and
can see the goods that are for sale as
we'll as the sign. The advertisement is
a comprehensive sign that comes I'M
der the eye of hundreds who will new
err see the sign over the door, yet as
some men have done good business
without advertising, they think ad-
vertising is unnecessary. They might
as well argue that because some men
have made money without industry, it
is unnecessary TO labor.
