OPINIONS OF DRUGGIsTS AND PHYSICIANS.
Messrs. Weagley & Knepper, Druggists, Wooos-
ter, O.. write
with regard to Dr.. WIstar's Bazsam of Wild
Chcryy. for which you are wholesale agents, we
have sold, since last October, eighty-two bottles
at retail, and have heard from a great proportion
of them. as producing the desired effect.
Several important cases in this vicinity, which
came under our personal knowledge, hare been
cnoed!-where other remedies have been tried for
years without effect.
In fact, We think it one of the most invaluble
remedies for Consumption of the Lungs. and all
other complaints for which it is recommended.n
DR.. William Y. Banks, of Xenia. Ohio, a highly
respectable Druggist in that delightful village in
forms us that the sale of Wistar's Baisom of Wild
Cherry is umparaNed. 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 Genus
inc Wistar's Balsam OF Wild Cherry says:
The effects of the Balsam are, in many cases,
strkingly beneficial. u 1t improves upon &C
quaintdnce more than any other Patent Medicine /
hare erer knOmn. 80 Almost all others fail upon
trial, and not being able TO bear the test ofexperi-
ence, soon sink into disuse. This, however, seems
to be the most highly valued by those who have
tested us virtue dllu experience lis meaning e1Ilca-
cy in their own cases.
TO DR.. Nm. H. Baker, Of Springfield, Wash
ington Co., Ky, was cured by W1star's Balsam
alone, after fire gears Of the most Intense suffering,
and the trial Of nearly cvery other remedy 81
He says; "AfteT five years affliction, pain and
suffering, and after having spent four OF five hun
dred dollars to no purpose, and the best and most
respectable physicians had proved unavailing, l
was soon restored to entire health, by the bles-
sing of God and the use OF "Dr. Wistar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry.'
In conclusion, we would say to all, try this ercd-
lent remedy a few bottles timely used may save
you hundreds neutrality-suspicious. your life.

To our Baby:

BIZ GEO. RoDwAY PouLToN.
Lovely darling! tinny creaturel
Full of dimples, full of smiles;
Well | know thy every feature,
Well | prize thy loving wiles;
When thou'rt sleeping l oft watch thee,
Watch the smiles fit DER thy cheek;
Tokens of a dreamland beauty,
Which thou knowest but cannot speak.
When thou dreamest, baby darling,
When thou goest to Angels land,
Oft kiss thy lashes silken,
Oft | clasp thy dimpled hand.
Spirits hover near and round thee,
Thou fair token of "sweet love"-
If thou fadest, they shall bear thee
To the beauteous realms above.
CouLdst thou be a baby ever,
Free as now from care and strife.
Happier would'st hot be my darling,
Happier far would be thy life,
Than when mingling with the rushing
Of an angry, restless world.
May hopes banner, high above thee,
Fer be floating, wide unturled.

I'm Quart Bottles.

For the removal and permanent cure of all dis
eases arising from an impure state of the blood, or
habit of the system.
The value of this Medicine is now widely
known, and every day the field of its usefulness is
extended. 1t is approved, and highly recommend
ed by Physicians and admitted to be the most
powerful and searching preparation from the root,
that has ever been employed in medical practice.
Its operation extends to the remotest parts of the
system, and consists in removing diseased action
IN the absorbing and secretlng organs. In man,
Nature seldom effects, unassisted, the cure of any
virulent disease, but requires the aid of a stimulant,
Alternative or antiseptic medicine. In diseases of the
skin and flesh, a combination of these three classes
of medicinal agents is highly desirable. All these
properties are combined in this preparation; and
instead of operating successfully upon the system,
as they must necessarily do when taken separately,
they operate simultaneously, ano in perfect harmo-
ny when administered in this form. Its tonic pro-
perty strengthens the digestion, and improves the
appetite. Its Alternative tendency carries off the &C
cumulations OF morbid matter,-and its antiseptic
influence neutralizes the virus, by which the dis
ease is tostered. Its uniform success in curing and
relieving the various diseases for which it is recon-
mended, is established by a multitude of attested
facts.

John Etheridge. ESQ.

The official letters from the Navy De-
partment bear the crank of "John
Etheridge." All orders for the work and
government of this Yard come under this
name endorsed on the northeast corner of
yellow envelope. And who is this
potential gentlemen In a room adjoin-
ing the Secretary's, you may see, from
nine o'clock in the morning till twelve at
night, seated at round table, and, always
busily engaged, person of handsome
and dignified appearance-one whose
head is whitened, not so much by age, as
from incessant labor and study. He is
well built, dark-eyed, forid-faced, and
scrupulously neat in his dress. No one
having business at the Department can
ever find fault with his politeness, his
amiability, and the complete satisfaction
he always renders. From early age he
has been identified with the Navy in
various civil employments. His first
commencing under the especial patronage
of Commodore Hull, who, living and dy-
ing, held an exalted opinion of Mr.. Ether
idge. Under the last three Secretaries he
has never been surpassed. Indeed, he is
an indispensable adjunct. And why 2
Simply because no man in this broad
nation is so well versed in the laws,
history, and traditions of the Navv-its
military and civil-its material and per-
sonel-as John Elderidge. And no man
can apply his knowledge with more sys-
tematic industry than he. His taste and
inclination run all hayward, and the
unceasing, arduous duties of his office are
pleasure. What would be another
mans death is labor of love to him.
