III Sick Headache Remedy.--Axemedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public, attracting great attention. not only
by reason Of the very satisfactory testimonials to
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great number Of people who are af-
aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem.
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with a large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been long needed, has atractedthe attention
ofal sufferers from headache who have heard Of it..
From our own knowledge Of Dr. Eastman's char
acter and practice we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor it receives, and that it will
prove TO be great benefit TO all who may give it
a trial-Lynn News, December 49, 1853

who, dressed ia blue and red blankets their heads
adorned with feathers and ribands, and faces
plastered with paint, created not little pleasant
excitement, and were prominent feature in the
scene. However elegant and graceful they may
have been in their own estimation, we have not
learned that they made any conquests Of hearts

the Auxiliary Guard had the pleasure Of arresting
and escorting them 10 the watch-house, where
they were furnished with lodgings, and dismissed
the next morning.

lion and the photography Of them produced diff
fculty in making up the record.
