CENTRAL PARK INPRovEMENT--Our descend
ants Tor all time TO come will thank their an
cestors for having secured to them perhaps the
most magnificent PARK in the world. They,
Eetber than ourselves, are to have the advan
tsge OF this splendid reservation. On the city,
in sitter time, when every portion Of the island
is filed up with productive buildings and luSu-
rious maDsions, should fall the expense of rem
deriDg the Central Park what 1t is intended to
be--a place Of resort for all classes, where the
rich and the poor, the young and the old, the
feeble and the strong can alike see the clear
| light Of heaven, and enjoy the fragrance Of
| flowers and all the beauties of orHsmented ma
ture, remote from the cells of treasured wealth
or The oppressive toll shops Of honorable Rxbor.
| 70 accomplish this work without adding to the
burdens OF taxation, let the city authorities be
empowered by act of the present Legislature
to create Park improvement debt, say to the
amount Of six hundred thousand dollars, for
the pmpoee of Immediately sewering the Park
apd laying ont carriage pathways through it's
! whole extent for popular use. Let this debt
be payable one hundred years hence, If you
will and its avals be Immediately employed
| on the work. The great feature OF modern
civilization in regard TO communities aud pub
lie Improvements is the power of credit. We
know Of hardly any use to which this element
Of progress can better be applied than in the
eorly accomplishment Of the purposes we have
indicated Where is the Alderman, ambitious
| Of an honorable name, the Councilman or men,
Der Of the Legislature, who will take the init
alive in effecting this pressing, patriotic and
! eminently desirable work?

How the u. X. Resolyent cured the Kings
Evil, after congress of Crowned Monarchs
Failed 10 restore the supplIcanl 10 health.
THE FIRST SIGN
The presence of Pimples, Blo:ches Pustules,
letters, Rash Little Sores, Painful feelings, Hot
Flushes SC, are sure indications Of the presence
OF foreign and impure humors in the system,
and if allowed to ming lie with the blood and re-
main in the system corrupting the blood and
filling the sewers of boiy with impurities, Sores
and Ulcers will break out, and cover the body
with their repulsive presence.
The Skin under these poisonous influence be-
comes an eruptiye volcano, exhibiting to the
eve the disgusting lava Of sease, III the form OF
Salt, Rheum, Cancers, Ulcers, Fever Sores,
Pulrid Flesh. Kings Evil and the most Fright
f,ti Eruptions ofthe SKIN.
Radway's Renovating Resolvent has cured
the most terrible of Skin Diseases and Humors
it will never fail in The worst cases.
LARGE HOLES IN THE NECK.
.9n Emiprant called upon us few months
since, who had been troubled with the disease
called "King's Evil" He had two very large
holes in his neck and his head, body and legs
were covered with the most disgusting and
sickening sores We Immediately placed him
under the influence of the Resolvcnt. 10 six
weeks from the time he called upon us every
sore was healed not even q sore was left upon
his BODY to remind him ofthe "Kmg'S Evil"
This man. like thousands of other deluded
persons, had laid himself Frustrated before two
Emperors, four Kings, and one Queen, to be
touched by the fingers of Royalty, believing
that the hands of their "most sacred majestic:
would drive away the evil" The Renovating
Resolvent had more power in restoring thi:
poor deluded victim of cruel disease, 10 ;
sound condition of body, than all the kings anc
mnnarchs on the earth.
