IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recentlyofered
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 it, but also because
there are great number of people who are af
ficted 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 large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed and we do not wonder
that his remedy for a very common disease, which
has been so longneeded, has attractedthe attention
otal 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 il receives, and that it will
prove TO be great benefit to all who may give il
trial--Lyaa Nssos, December 49, 1853

no LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

FENEfE Advertiser, a frenchman and grad
i nate of the Polytechnic School OF Paris, re-
speclfully offers his services as a teacher Of his
native tongue to Schools, Classes, and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity The system he
follows TO facilitate the acquisition of the French
Language, unites in due proportion theory and
practice; by which are avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with m pursuing one Of the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idomancal part Of the language, or prac-
teal one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, nj east far too much,
neglected In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time 10 The mere me-
morlzing of sentences, he find himself in posses
sion OF number OF set phrases, valuable il is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions,
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting his method, may, with
little effort, after course of tortyetght lessons
understand and speak the French, and find the
sstanee of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution Of the studies OF that language.
Instruction in Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting,
and Penmanship, can also be had from the adver
tlser
References in success in teaching, etc, etc, will
be given.
