LET HER BE.-One of the Detroit mercan.
tile gentlemen, who was travelling eastward a
short time since, went to the clerk on one of
the Ontario boats, to be shown his state room.
The clerk handed the applicant a key, at the
same time pointing to door at SOM little dis
lance. Our friend wentin the direction indi-
Gated, but opened the door next to his own,
where he discovered a lady passenger making
her toilette, who upon the strangers appear
ance, uttered a low scream; "go away. :" cried
she. "Letter B." screamed the clerk. II am

ADvEHr1sE.-Townsend the sarsparilla man,
says that his books exhibit an outlay for adj
vertising il the course of five years, in the va
rious papers in the United States, Of three hun
dred thousand dollars. He says that for six
months he cut off all his advertisements, to
see if his medicines. would go on their w
merits just as well as by advertising. He lost
thirty thousand dollars by il; the sales dwind-
led down to nothing, for his competitors seeing
him drop off, they went on, advertised heavily
and got the start of him.

Several important cases in this vicinity, which

years without effect.
In fact, we think it one of the most invaluble
| remedies for Consumption of the Lungs, and all

Dr.. William Y. Banks, of xenia, Ohio, a highly
respectable Druggist in that delightful village ill.,
forms US that the sale Of Ipistar'S Baisam Of Wild
Cherry is unparaNel. The demand for it is SO
eager, that he can scarcely keep himself supplied
with it.
DR.. Ritchey, of Franklin, Ia, who stands high
in his profession, in commentator OF the "Genu-
inc Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry says:
'The effects of the Balsam are, i'll many cases,
strikingly beneficial. ~ 1t improves upon ac-
qua,,tance more thin any Other Patent Medicine l

dred dollars to no purpose, and the best and most
respectable physicians had proved unavailing, |

REMEDY FOR THE Sick H~EADAcHE.--It is
said that persons afflicted with this distress
sing complaint, the sick headache, can obtain
relief in two or three minutes, by looking
steadily at a piece Of green baize, silk, or any
other green substance. The remedy is simple
enough to warrant one trial at least.
