THIS INVALUABLE COMPOUND, which
Il is now creating SO much excitement i'm the
medical world and among some of the most
learned in the profession, is curing thousands
of that class Of invalids whose cases the mcdi-
cal faculty have long sought to reach, but in
vain. In proof of its extraordinary curative
properties, We may be permitted to adduce the
following: ~,
Washington, D. c., Feb q, 1852.
DIR. Hutchins-Dear Sir: / have been request 2
ed to give my opinion upon the merits OF your
Golden 1incture. l have used it for indiges-
ton, loss of appetite, &c. with material benefit
think it good medicine for purifying the
blood, and a safe and valuable preventative q
well as cure of disease. Hoping you may b.
prospered in the sale of it,
am, sir, your obedient servant,

Truly yours, L. f. NORRIS.
Certificate from Prof C. Newton, A. MIND.
President of the Worcester Medical College:
Worcester, June, 1868.
Dr Hutchins, Sir: As you wished my opin-
ion respecting your Golden Tincture, freely
give it--not that would be willing to lend nv
name or in any way give countenance to any
patent or secret nostrum, but having been made
acquainted with the formula from which your
medicine is composed, j may say that consid-
or it essentially one of the best compounds for
the class OF diseases for which it is recommends
cd. Yours truly, CALVIN NEWTON.

bottles and sold at 81 ,00p per bottle.

specifics without any good result, from 25th

nicely it operated on my brother, ] got bottle

words: - notice one firm who have taken

Now | take pleasure in saying that the eau
ton referred to the same Dr. Christie Ague
Balsam that is mentioned in the above certifi-
cate. There are several other industrious peo-

Cure, or Antidote to Malaria, except the certifi-
Gates of cures, and the certificate of the cele-
brated chemist, DR. James r. Chiffon of New

A NEW PRAIRIE Pillow.

A pillow has lately been invented by
Jesse Frye, and tried upon the Illinois
prairies with great success and, from
the. description given, we think the
pillow good one. The plow differs
from the ordinary in this The
mould-board is composed of friction.
rollers, which, however, we do not
consider important, if it is considered
upon scientific principles but there
is an advantage gained by hanging
the whole pillow to frame upon four
wheels like an ordinary wagon, in
such a manner that it can be adjusted
to cut to any depth that may be de-
sired SO that the whole weight of the
pillow rests upon the wheels, and even
the friction of the land side is avoided,
because the pressure of the furrow-
slice does not tend to crowd the share
against the shoulder of the furrow, be-
cause it is immovably fixed to the sup
porting frame. The plow-man, instead
of walking behind and holding by the
handles to guide the pillow, mounts his
seat and drives to the field, and ad-
justs the pillow to the depth of his fur
row, and drives ahead cutting it's way
wherever he guides the team. 1t is
stated that single pair of horses can
turn q prairie sod five inches deed and
twenty inches wide, which is good
furrow for four horses with an ordina-
ry prairie pillow, without wheels. The
plan is certainly worthy of attention
by all farmers who have large fields,
and particularly so for those engaged
in the laborious business of breaking
mp the sod of Western prairies.
