JOYCE'S TASTEI.E SS SOLUTION
OF CopaibaI ia Chambers street, N. Y.
TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
~ ENII EkI NJ N--Iha valuable medicinal

~ ENTLEMEN.-The valuable medicinal
W properties Of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from ls nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented lis administration IN many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual Dlodas oJ,eandT' of prescribing il, either
10 the form OF an Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap
sules has not been found satisfactory, being liable
10 some objection, either from the difficulty expe-
rienced by some individuals IN the deglutitlon Of
the Capsule or the small quantity ofCopaba gem
orally found in The Emulsion.
Joyee's tasteless solution OF Copaiba - the
most unique preparation yet introduced 10 the
medical profession as il contains 90 per cent Of
the pure-l 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 tical chemists IN the old and
worlds contain all the medicinal proper
Ties Of Balsam Copaiba without It's disagreabe
characteristics.
II is an efficient preparation Tor all diseases oil
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rhe9a, Leucorrhea, elect, painful hemorrhodal
affections, and in chronic irritation OF the bladder.

Suppression Of small Notes. Not few Of

| suppre ssion Of Small Notes. MOT few of
our citizens have been swindled, from time TO
time, by issues Of small notes as currency
emitted by irresponsible individuals, and forced
into the channels of business. In some cases
the notes were manufactured by spectators
living beyond the limits Of this District but dated
Washington The repeated failures IN this city
of several OF the concerns, taught their victims
the wholesome lesson Of moi trusting on such
worthless promises; aud Congress, during the
last session, passed law, which is TO into opera
tionon the first Of November, suppressing the
trash from circulation. II is due TO the corpora
lions of Georgetown and Alexandra 10 say that
their small notes have been taken and passed
without any suspicion whatsoever Of insolvency;
in fact, they have oher been preferred 10 the d.
muutive metallic dollars--tbe legal coin
The law TO which We have referred is of easy
enforcement, in an action OF debt. ANY corpora
ton, body polite, individual issuing note
under the denomination of five dollars, shall for
felt and pay sum of ten dollars, aud refu-
sal 10 re deem note of that character in gold or
silver, fine OF twenty dollars. IL is also made
unlawful for any person, body, or corporation, 10
offer TO pass, pass such paper; the penalty for
the offence being not less than five nor more than
ten dollars. Every Justice of the peace i'm The
District of Columbia has jurisdiction in such
cases. Persons in business either receiving or
paying out small notes will be subject to a revo-
cation of their licenses and all contracts in which
such "currency" enters are declared void
These are the prominent features of the law.
There comparatively few small notes in
existence; in fact, public opinion is fast driving
them all out of circulation.
Parade.-The regiment Of the District of
Columbia, yesterday, elected much praise, on the
occasion OF their parade, for review and exercise.

morning between seven and egh, o'clock, water
which had accumulated in the main pipes was

DEATH OF NOBLE WoMAN.-A noble
woman, Margaret M. Smith, Of Burlington,
New Jersey, died in that town on Monday last,
aged sixtyfour years. This excellent woman
was always noted for her charities, and after
the recent railroad disaster she opened her
house to the sufferers and nursed them with
the utmost care. 1t was in her house that Mr..
and Mrs. Gillespie died. The excessive fatigue
and excitement of that period of trial were too
much for the weak frame Of the noble woman,
and when there was nothing more to do for
the suffering she gave way and is now removed
to her reward. No one in Burlington was
ever more mourned
