H Our billingsgate neighbor of the
Gazette accuses US of q~uackery, because
we publish DR.. AYERS advertisements.
Now this same editor knows the Pharma-
copeia itself is not more free from the sus-
picions of quackery than his medicines.
He knows they are endorsed by the medi-
cal Journals of this country, are used and
prescribed by u best physicians, and
have the commentator of professors and
eminent men of character too exalted for
his comprehension, and he knows too that
they have done and are doing in this CON-
munity an amount of good which the ut
most stretch of his ability can never hope
equal.-Berks Co. Press, Reading, Pa.

Marry Red"

sA friend has presented us with q speci-
men of the new cents. 1t is a shade
skfsater in circumference than q dime, and
IL considerably thicker. Its color is
between gold and silver, Che latter slightly
lpredominating. On one side is a wreath
.epcircling the words zone cent" on the
.other 10 an eagle on the wing surrounded
sty the words "United States of America,
..IS51.. e. It is rather a pretty coin, though
lie eagle looks a little clumsy.
a large amount of them has been de-
posited with Philadelphia merchants for
eirculation, SO that we may expect them
soon to supercede the old red.

B, Dr. Roback's seoadinar.an Rennsasss.

By d Roback's Scandinavian Remsdis.
4 FTER years Of study, analysis and expcri-
IA ment, DIR. Robaek, the eminent Swedish
Physician, succeeded in producing a medicine
from the mountain herbs of his nativs land,
which acts directly upon the causes of disease
in the blood, and by restoring the corrupted
fountain of life to a condition of health and
purity, expels disease from the system, whsr-
ever it may be located, or whatever may be its
character. Indigestion, nervous complaints,
epileptic and other fits, coughs, consumption
in its early stages, sore throat, bronchitis, fever
and ague, asthma, low spirits, sexua incapa-
city, feminine weakness, pricking Of the skin,
Isynlptomatic of paralysis, rheumatism, neu-
Iralgia, tumor, cancer; diabetes, lassituds and
debility. diarrhea, and all other disorders of
the organs of respiration, the liver, the kid
neys, the stomach, the nerves, or the muscu-a
lar fibre, are unerringly cured by this prepa-
ration. It is to the materies morbi, or seeds
of disease, what an alkali is to an acid; it neu-
~tralizes them with absolute certainty, while at
the same time it regulates the secretions, re-
moves distractions from the bowels, creates
appetite, renews bodily vigor, and regensrates
every animal function. Such is the nature,
such are the effects of DR.. Roback's famous
SCANDINAVIAN BLOOD PURIFIKR, which, taken in
conjunction with his BLOOD PILLS, will not only
Obliterate the most painful diseases, but pre-
vent their recurrence, and lengthen life be-
yond its ordinary span.
To prevent imposition, purchase only of re-
spectacle druggists, &C., of regular agents, or

turer, 6, Fourth-street, Cincinnati.

WITH a large surplus, securely invested
w under the sanction and approval of the
Comptroller of Public Accounts, of the State
of Connecticut.
This company has also complied with the
very cautious and stringent laws of this State,
in relation to foreign Insurance Companies.
1t was incorporated by the Legislature of
the State of Connecticut, in May, 1850, with a
PERPETUAL CHARTER, and commenced bust
ness on a capital of two hundred thousand
dollars; the whole of which has been invested
in securities of the highest character.
Those who contemplate making life insur-
ances, should, first Of all, satisfy themselves
of the character and stability of the Company
they may select. The interest of the assured
in the stability and permanent prosperity of a
Company, in the security and certainty that it
will fulfill its engagements, is of incompara-
bly, greater Importance than the trUaing saring
that may be made by p'ying inadequate pre-
miums.
The principle of Life insurance is based on
sound mathematical calculations, and admits
of no variation. Ultimate security, being the
primary object to be obtained, this Company
will do business on the lowest rates of pre-
miums that can be adopted, and afford requis-
lite security to the insured, and perpetuity to
the institution.
