1T HAS NEVER FAILED--IT CANNOT
FAIL TO CUR

THIS INVALUABLE SPECIFIC, first intro
i duced into Pisa some fifty years since, soon,
became so well known as a certein cu~e,' that
in every town and city, not only on the Cont
nent but i'll Great Britain, the demand for it
was great It's merits SO 0stoundine that in less
than year flom its introduction 1t had sup-
planted all other remedies. The Medical Fa-
Guilty Of the principal cities of Europe were
compelled to acknowledge its wonderful mastery
over disease. Proprietors of other Medicine,
Jealous of its sway, vainly endeavored to stay
its onward progress Like grass before the
mower their efforts fell to the ground; and like
fire on the prairies, sweeping all before it, its
onward march became triumphant. 1t stood
forth upon It's own merits; discerning public
saw, tried and We're convinced of its magical
rartaes. The massive fortune acquired by DR..
Pareira from the sale of it during the six years
he prepared it, alone bore witness to its NINA
cnl0us merits. At the decease of the Doctor, the
recipe was bequeathed to his son, who has late
iy introduced the remedy into the United States.
The number OF cures it has already made are
astonishing. Thousands and tens of thousands
can bear testimony to its efficacy.
ALL WHO USE 1T, IT WILL CURE,
With safety, speed and certainty no other me-
dlclne has ever possessed
RESORT TO NO QUICK NOSTRU UMS.
Use a remedy that has been tried for the past

The intelligence from the Crimea is but three
days later Since the battle of the 5th of No
vember, no operation Of Importance seems to
have been attempted on either side. 1t would
seem from Prince Menschikotf' s dispatches,
that the French estimate of the Russian losses
in that affair grossly exaggerated. The
number of the killed and wounded, according
to him, did not exceed 1000, and that of the AL
lies being equal.
Three English Generals have been killed,
and five wounded severely.
The siege operations were continued, but ow-
ing 10 the wretched condition OF the Allies, part
Of the French troops engaged in them had been
detached to strengthen the army OF observation.
The besieged are alsoreported to be in a very
distressed condition, owing 10 the want of water
and the falling off III their supplies Of ammuni-
tion but they were nevertheless working with
as desperate energy ever, repairing the
breaches in their works as fast made, and ma
king provisions for every contingency that
might beal them.
Preparations, it seems had been made by the
Allies for an assault The works on the 5th.

1t is said that Prince Napoleon 10 have
