THE CHLORIDE OF GOLD.

nor Primary Syphalis How long have the
l. medical profession tried in vain to discov-
er some thereputical agent that could be re-
lied upon to cure disease more TO be dreaded
than all Others combined. Some Quack Doc
tors advertise to cure yenerial diseases with
out the use of mercury But their statements
are false. We have taken pains to collect the
recipes of some who make great noise, and
we find that they use the Iodide Of Mercury
for everything, whether it is proper or not
and since we find them msreprcsenting in
this particular we have reason to suspect
them and I'D omne genus" in all their pre-
tensions.
Gentlemen, there never was a remedy capa-
bic of curing the disease without mercury,
until the discovery of the Chloride of Gold,
and We submit it to the test, having thorough
" tried it. and knowing it to possess all the
qualities attributed TO it.
Dr. Christian says:-The Chloride of Gold
is capable of curing Syphalis under all its
forms, and that in its general operations on
the system it possesses many advantages over
mercury. 1t is efficacious, yet gentle 1t
may be administered with perfect safety at all
seasons of the year and under any complca-
tions of the disease. Persons of either sex
may be put upon it with equal safety, the only
precaution enjoined is strict temperance. In

Dr. Samuel L. Mitchell, the distinguished
Surgeon of New York, speaks in the following
words:
The Chloride of Gold possesses admirable
virtues against Syphalis The patient gets
well under the operation of the medicine,
with incomparably less inconvenience without
the hazard of sore mouth or salvation. and
with very little wear and tear of the consti
tnton. | consider the Introduction OF this
preparation into common use as one of the
greatest improvements in modern medicine,
aud wish it was already as universal as the
malady it cures.
Other distinguished members of the medi-
cal profession have given testimony of the
great value of the remedy. the statements of
whom we have in our possession.
Gentlemen We shall be glad to see you at
any time--we are always prepared to attend
TO your wants.
The above remedy will be sent to any per-
sons address who sends the price of the medi
cine. Price $40. Full directions will accom-

dreana:-my gentle wife is near
A girlish figure, small and slight:
Say, shall / sketch her picture, ere
She passes out of sight!
Here is no beauty strange and rare,
Fashion'd by rapturous poets rule
All hearts might deem her very fair,
And not one, beautiful.
. Not beautiful to painters eyes,
Because her noblest beauty lies
Not in her features faultless grace,
But the sweet meaning Of her face.
A look of patient gentleness
On lip and brow serenely lies;
And oh! world Of tenderness
Shines softly in her sunny eyes
Her lips-tO me no "rose-buds wet"
One-half so beautiful could be-
love them that they never yet
Spoke one unloving word to me!
There is sweet and nameless grace
Floating around her form and face
The beauty Of lofty soul
Ulumes and beauties the whole.
And when the tiresome day is gone,
And the sweet evening time comes on,
And wearied out with toll and care
l sink into my study-chair,
Closing my eyes to curtain out
The vexing shades of fear and doubt
A tiny foot, with noiseless glide,
Comes stealing softly to my side
Bright curls adown my shoulders twine,
And little fingers hide in mine
And gentle tones salute my ear
With words of sympathy and cheer.
OH could meet with dauntless heart
The sternest darkest ills of life,
With such a guardian as thou art,
Ny own beloved wife!
Ny child! my darling, brigbt-hair'd boy!
A happy, laughter-loving sprite,
Whose heart is mirth, whose life is joy,
Undimm'd by shade or light.
He has his mothers curls of gold
His laugh has just her ringing tone,
And in his features 1 behold
The soften'd likeness of my own;
And gazing, oft l wander back
Along my boyhood's flowery track,
roam again beside the stream,
/ see again the waters CLEAN,
And stopping see, or seem to see,
My face reflected back to me!
Ny wife and child! my all on earth!
All! what were life bereft of them!
Beside their love, how little worth
Seems glory's brightest diadem.
Ny wife and child! these are the charms
Which make me cling to earth-I rise
To circle them in loves fond arms,
And in the act unclose my eyes.
Where, where am I?-and where are they2
Alas! the dream has passd away
sit here in my darkening room,
Alone amid the dusky gloom
Ay, all alone-no wife-no child
A day-dream hath my heart beguiled,
Alas! that any fancy's sway
Should play such roguish tricks with me!
My wife and child sigh to say
Are yet-alas! are get to be!

FIVE TO eight inches in length, is of mouse color,
nclining to brown, with short, thick tail, and
its head is rather large and clumsy, owing to It's

twelve English feel, ,whleothers thiuk his stature
did not exceed eleven feet In like manner. the
giant Goliath, OF Scripture, is generally comput-
ed tu have been about uiue feet niue inches. but
commentators have supposed he might have been
full eleven feet high.
Among modern instances, comJaissary on
board Le Mares fleet affirmed that he had mea-
sured the bones ot men in sepulchres of South A
merica between eleven and twelve feet high and
Turner. the naturalist, declares that he had seen
on the Brazil coast race of gigantic savages.
one of whom measured twelve feet. The decla-
ration of Turner is, moreover, rendered credible
by Monsieur Thevet, who, in his description of
America published at Paris, SIS, asserts that he
saw and measured the skelton If a South Amer

ven feet five inches in length his skull was three
feet une inch in circumference, and the leg bones
full three feet four inches long. To these remark
able instances may be added, a we'll proporlioned
