Terribly Scaldcd,

Fellow citizens Of Chicago, the deep and dis
tressing wounds lately received 10 being Terri
BIZ Scaled by the bursting Of distillery boiler,
were healed in the short space Of fourteen days
BY the free application Of Sloaa's celebrated ONT
nae,st. Also, nv child, that had been sorely af-
fiicted for several months with .Kcrasmus, Oh
whom had expended large sum Of money for
medical advice and medicines, was restored to
health in less than three weeks by the use Of
Sloan,s Ointment.
For injuries on horses am confident sloan's
Ointment is far superior to any other remedies
row used
In my opinion Erery Fanaily should constantly
keep on hand this valuable Ointment

THE DEAD ALIVE.

There lived once in Switzerland, rich bachelor, about forty years of age, called Pe- ter Gortz. who had the reputation of being a very pious, but rather an austere and thrifty man. He kept but one servant, an orphan, whom, as child, he took to wait on him, and afterwards taught her to write and read
 boasting her fidelity, and indulging her as if she had been his daughter. He was her on- ly friend. At sixteen, Caroline de Burgh was as comedy a girl as eyes need see, with the gait of peacock, and a skin like new milk !; but. from her silent and almost naughty dis position, the young men called her prude,
