DR. W. A. SNYDfR'S mode of treating disea-

course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be
lieying that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
state of the system, his remedies will be pre-
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted: and by equalzing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor-
ing the general health of the patient the Eyes
may be permanently cured without the ne use use OF o.;
general use. DR.. s. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all others without relief,
not to despair of a cure without giving him a
trial, for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost or the Eye not completely disorganized there
is still hope.

THE CHLORIDE OF GOLD


For Primary Syphilis. How long have the
medical profession tried in vain to discover some
tne-reputical agent that could be relied upon TO
cure a disease more to be dreaded than all others
combined. Some Quack Doctors advertise to cure
venereal diseases without the use OF mercury
But their statements are false. we nave taken
pains to collect the receipts of some who make
a great noise, and we find that they use the To-
dine of Mercury for everything, whether 1t IS
proper or not and since we find them mlsrepre-
senting in this particular. we have reason TO sus-
pect them and I'D omne genus in all their pre-
tensions.
Gentlemen, there never was a remedy capable
of curing the disease without mercury, until the
discovery of the Chloride of Gold, and we submit
it to the test having thoroughly tried it. and
know 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 complication of the disease. Persons
of either sex may be put uponit with equal safe
ty, the only caution eniOined is strict temperance
In other respects the patient is not required to
change his mode of living.
DR.. Samuel L. MITCHELL the distinguished sur
geon of New York, speaks III the following words:
The Chloride of Gold pOss esSes admirable viz
tues against Syphalis The patient gets well I'M
der the operation of the medicine, with incom-
parably less inconvenience. without the hazard
Of sore mouth or salvation, and with very NJ
tie wear and tear of the constitution. L consider
the introduction of this preparation in common
use, as one of the greatest Improvements in mod
ern medicine, and wish it was already as uni
versal as the malady it cures
Other distinguished members of the medical
profession have given testimony OF the great val
ue of the remedy the statements Of whom we
have in our possession.
Gentlemen we shall be glad to see you at any
tme-we are always prepared to attend to your
wants
The above remedy will be sent to any persons

CAN CORPORATION GET DRUNK?-That
the individual members of it can and do is
a clear case, and will not be questioned
But can a corporation in its corporate ca
pacity" get into what O'Doherty calls a
State of Fcivilation," that is, such a degree
of ebriety that the inebriate pronounces the
word "civilization' with the elision Of the
"iz?" 1t would seem improbable, yet we
know case where the excuse Of drunken
ness was urged by a Prosecuting Attorney
in manner to favor the affirmative of the
question. 1t happened some years ago, in
one of the northern counties Of Vermont,
that the then States Attorney, though a
man Of great legal ability, was rather too
fond Of the critter," and with perversity
of habit which we have often seen in 9TH
ers. was pretty sure to drink too deep at
the very time when it was most necessary
that he should be sober. On one occasion
an important criminal case was called on
by the clerk; but the Attorney, with owl
like gravity. kept his chair, being in fact,
not fairly able to stand on his feet "Mr.
Attorney, is the State ready to proceed?"
said the Judge. "Yes-hic-no-your
honor" stammered the lawyer, "the State
is not-in fit state to try this case to-
day-the State, your honor, is drunk!o
