I. v. HARDY'S EYE BALM.
THE best, quickest, and decidedly the most
J. pleasant remedy ever offered, for the cure of
sore, weak, or diseased eyes. 1t matters not
how long they have been sore, this balm will
cure them. Cases of short duration it cures
in from 12 to 4S hours.
From the Clerk Of the Court of Randolph
a have used I. v. Hardy's Eye Balm in min.
ly. ]. j. ALLEN.s
The Huntsville Recorder Of Feb. %, 1854
SAYS that, s'the great number and remarkable
cures that have come under our observation, has
fully convinced us that 1. V. Hardy's is great
man, and that his wonderful Eye Balm is the
most valuable combination for the cure Of sore
eyes that has ever been produced. All success
to him in his new enterprise say we."
The Liberty Tribune of March 8, 1854, says,
'shave you sore eyes, If so be sure and get Har-
dy's Eye Balm"
Mr.. Harty-I have used and known to be
used your Eye Balm in numbers Of cases Of
sore eyes, some Of one and two years standing,
and it effects cures in every case. Cases of short
duration it cures in less time than | thought
possible for any remedy to have done it. tits
the sine qua non lin our country for sore eyes,
and will be Pm all when once tried.

it, but till tried keep silent, lend it your in
fuence, for it is no humbug.
This Balm is prepared only in Huntsville,
Missouri, by ]. v. Hardy..& co., to whom all or

|A6Ch1Son Ferry =!
THIS FERRY has been In successful oper-
4 alton since 1S4e; during which time it has
been the great crossing point for the Oregon,
California and Utah Emigrant who came by
Hannibal and Palmyra; there being State Road
directly through, and the latitude precisely the
same. Our boat is good one, and we have
plenty of hands engaged at all times, to work it.
q AT the opening Of Spring we shall have
a fine new
STEAM FERRY BOHT,
when all can cross without detention. The
ferry landing is the best on the River, there be-
ing at all times deep water from shore to shore,
and very narrow. Our banks have no wide
sand beach where stock can mire down, being
dry at all times.
To the Emigrant to Kansas we say, this is
the place to cross, as when here the distance
to other points in the Territory, is nearer than
from crossing places above or below.

means have been tried TO break her of ii;
money has been withheld from her; the
druggists nearest home have been warned
against furnishing her any but all has been
in vain. 1t is idle to think OF being able
To warn all the druggists il this vast city
She procures il in vast quantities. in va

and address, and when she 10 prevented
from going out, brides my servants to getit
for her In despair at this state Of things,
which is fast hurrying her TO her grave, |
have sought information respecting this
singular species Of vice, and have discover
ed among families kaorn to me, no less than
fra per sons whose lives and intelle,ts have
been sacrificed by this deleterious drug. u
the druggists were consulted they could
show long list Of ruin accomplished in this
fearful manner.
