JOYCE'S TASTELESS SOLUTION
or Copaibat ia Chambers street, N. ".

~ ENTLEMEN.-The valuable medicinal
NJ properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty. but the great dis
advantage arising from its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented its administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual Dlodus OpeyandP of prescribing il, either
in the form OF an Emulsion Gelalinous Cap
sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable
to some objection, either from the difficulty expe-
rienced by some individuals in the degulilion OF
the Capsule the small quantity of Copaiba gen
orally found in the Emulsion.
Joyces tasteless solution of Copaiba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced 10 the
the purest Para Copaiba without taste or smell,
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water, and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians and anal ytical chemists IN the old and
new worlds 10 contain all the medicinal proper
ties OF Balsam Copaiba without its disagreabe
characteristics
II is an efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rhe9a, Leucorrh1a, elect, painful hemorrhodal
affections and in chronic irritation OF the bladder.

Items from Abroad.

The Moniteur has published the list of the
International jury charged to decide upon
the awards of the preparatory juries. Three
American names figure on this list, namely,
Col. Robert Coke, for his collection of forest
arts, such as fishing and hunting; Mr. Charles
Fleishrnann, formerly CONSUL of the (" Ameri-
can" for machinery employed in the maniac
ture of tissues and Mr. Marshall Woods, for
painting, engraving and Autograph
A very great error Of the Boston Chronicle,
OF Sept. Sd, should here be corrected. Its
Paris correspondence of August 18th asserts
that the International jury had awarded the
highest medal for pianos to Messrs. A. W.
Ladd Il Co., of Boston, proclaming theirs the
best of the pianos Of the exhibition. The
fact is, Messrs Ladd had been proposed by the
examining committee for the fourth prize, and
this award is not general, but special, namely,
for square pianos, style not in vogue in Eu-
rope and which there are but seven at the
exhibition. The highest prize has been
awarded, not to the Erards, as was expected,
but to Henri Herr, who himself called the at
tention Of the jury TO the merits of his Ameri'
can rival
The Duke Of SAKE Coburg Gotha has been

that when a prince descends from his throne

abored to make his work successful What

Madame George Sand has been engaged by

the understanding that the piece must be

day the piece is cast She is very republican
and her acceptance Of anything from the Gov
eminent, has given rise to much comment.
Madame Ristor has broken her London en-
gagement. 1t appears it was objected to hei
playing the character of the incestuous Myr7'
ia, on the score Of immortality. As this IL
her finest character, the tragedienne refused tt

NJ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy

IL Sick Headache Kennedy remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
TO the public, is attracting great attention only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are great number of people who are af-
Hicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman who discovered the efficacy OF his rem
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with 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 attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard of it.
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastmans char
acter and practice, we have doubt that the med
cne deserves the favor il receives and that will
prove 10 be great benefit 10 all who may give it
a trial.-Lynn Neaos December %, 1853.
