and any Irregularities IF the BOceIs.
Used By Surgeons in the United States
Army Nth great success.
The above troublesome complaints
can always be cured in a few days by
the use Of DR.. Billings Carminative and
Astringent Syrup. If this medicine is
taken at the commencement OF the dis
ease, il requires but a small quantity
Of il, and but few hours TO effect a cure,
however severe the attack may be.
1t is sure to arrest the disease even
in its last stages, and. cure it in an in.
credibly short time; generally in less
than forty-eight hours.
One bottle is sufficient to preserve the
health Of almost any common size fam
lily during the summer season, and pre-
vents any serious result growing out Of
an attack Of either OF the above diseases.
The fame ofthis Medicine is too wide
spread TO need any testimonials; but
the highly respectfully sources Of the
following will not admit Of their being
withheld. They are only a few among
the thousand that are volunteered from
the most skillful physicians and other
gentlemen.

three or four years have frequently
used DR.. Billnigs'Syrup in my practice,
in cholera infantum, (tno Summer com

Of diarrhea in growing persons and

comending this preparation and as one
of the best remedies for those diseases

The extension of lines of Magnetic

instantaneous transmission of intelligence
by it. From every quarter we hear oft
sand ere a twelve month nearly all the
Wprincipalstowhsin the United States will
be connected by those sentient iron
nerves. lis but day or two since the
completion of the line from Pittsburgh to
Cincinnati was announced, aud now the
Gazette ofthe latter city says it is extend
ed and in operation from that place to
Louisville. Prof. Howe is at Cincinnati
gengaged in putting in operation one of his
machines. The Gazette says:
q This telegraph prints the letters, in
stead otthe characters written by Morse s
land. we are told, it operates admirably
well, and with speed equal to Morse's.
Yesterday he transmitted a dispatch OF
I22O words to Louisyille,a greater distance
than heretofore sent by this telegraph
Should this telegraph equal the expecta.
lions Of the inventor, it has one decided
advantage over that of Professor Morse,
in this that it will save much of the delay
and cost of transcribing dispatches re-
ceived. s.1, ~.
