THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fitness, and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa
rent to escape observation and where its virtues
known the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous attec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties
of CoLDs, CoUGHS, HoARsENEss, &C.; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
AS it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the
people its quality is kept up to the best that 1t ever
has been and that the genuine article is sold BY

Number Of the Stars.

OF the stars, thousands are visible to
the aked eve, ana millions are discover
ed By the telescope. Sir John Hefschell
calculates that about FIVE and half mil
lions of stars are visible enough to be dis
tinctly counted in twenty feet reflector
ia both hemispheres. and thinks the actual
number is much greater. His illustrious
father estimated on oae occasion that one
hundred and twenty-five thousand stars
passed tlrough the field of his forty feet
reflector in quarter of an hour. This
would give twelve millions for the entire
circuit of the Heavens in single tele-
scopic zone; and this estimate was made
underthe assumption tha,the nebalss were
masses OF luminous matter not yet condens-
ed suns But with the increase of instru-
| me ntal power. especially under the nighty
grasp of Lord Ross gigantic reflector and
the great refectors at Puleova and Cam
bridge, the most irresoiyabie Of these ne.
bula have given away: and the better
opinion now is, that every one Of them /:
g galaxy, like our own milky way; com
posed of millions OF suns.
