RESCUE TO THE AFFECTED! TElc Celebrated Jew Davfd's or
 HEBREW PLASTER

 Muscles, Rheumatism in all us rarious
 forms, Nervous ABections, Lung aud
 Liccr Complaints, Spinal Auctions, Fe-
 mule Weaknesses, S'c., SC.
 NyOR THE ABOVE COMPLAINTS 1T this Plaster has no equal. The great celebrity which it has already acquired, not only in the old but the new world. the ey- traordinary cures il has performed in the most extreme cases of suffering. have ac- qured for il such reputation, that the pro- prietol has not, until recently, been able to supply half the demand. The sales through out every town and village in the United States, are without a parallel! A circum- stance not al all surprising when the vast amount of human suffering relieved 6y its use is considered. In spinal defecfs the benefit usually Is of the most decided char acter. In nervous complaints, nineteen ca ses out of twenty readily yield to the pen elratng slimula combined in this valuable preparation.
 In Rhtumatism either acute or chronic, the claims of the Hebrew Plaster have long since been universally aeknowltdged.- Those who are laborlng under weak backs no matter from what cause the weakness. may have originated, (even fl such person have heen misguided in previous applica lons) in the use of the Hebrew Plaster they will find the affected part suddenly restored to it's original soundaess.
 Asa support in cases of conSit,tiional ill h., inn,b of rrn al I 1T lage it is particularly recommended 10 Fe males who are suffering from sudden weak ness or general debility. In short 1t embra- ces all the virtues which the most scientIf- ic mind was capable of conn pounding from valuable substance found in the old world and will be found entirely free from those objections which are a source of complaint with the numerou. spread plaster now be- fore the public.

The Pressurc.

The Commercial world, with the Banks, everywhere, have never. perhaps, expert. enced so trying time as the present, since our recollection. The pressure up. on our own merchants and banks some ten years since, was perhaps greater but 1t was measurably confined to the United States.
 For few years past, the prosperity oi our own country, and those with which we are by trade connected. has been une1amplec; but in the twinkling of an eyc' all this property, by the powerful ef: fects of the miraculous revolution in Eu. rope, has been swept away, commerce paralyzed, confidence shaken, and busi. ness between the United States and Eu. rope suspended. These reverses in trade will be felt throughout every branch o business in this country. Indeed, the eff fects are now visible. We trust they will be temporary. The banks, mer. chants, and the people generally, should lean to and favor each other as much as possible. It is their mutual interest to dc so' or failure in either, only adds to the endorsements of the other.
