BEST Crossing
ON THE
Missouri River.
The Route from BrownUiHe to Fl. Kear-
neg, and from thence to California,
IS the nearest and most
practicable.
FINNEY & CODINGTON,

A NN0UNCE to the Travelling Public that they
II have purchased the entire interest in the Ferry
across the Missouri River at the City of Brown
vile, Nebraska, and open the Season with a
new substantial and commodious Ferry Boat,
run by Horse Power, which arrangement will secure
certain passage at, all times and in all kinds of
weather. The Proprietors do not assert boastingly,
or for the purpose Of gaining custom merely, but are
governed by facts, when they say this is the best
crossing of the Missouri River in Nebraska, and
when they say the route from Brownville to Fort
Kearney and from thence to California is the nearest,
for evidence they refer the reader to the map of the
Country; and are warranted in saying it is the most
practicable route by personal experience, as well as
that of hundreds Of others who have travelled it,
We claim therefor that this crossing and route holds
out peculiarly favorable inducements, to persons
going to California, and solicit their patronage. Not
Withstanding our superior arrangements for q safe
and speedycrOssing, Ourcharges are the same as other
Ferriesin Nebraska, all being regulated by Legisla-
tive enactment.
A skif will be in readiness and a hand on the
ground to run all hours of the night.
ky Ree0llect that with our facilities of Power,
no kinds of weather will prevent our Boats from
making regular trips at ali hours.

EXERCISE AND Fresh AIR.-There is no
remedy which more deseryedly holds high
rank IN the early stage of consumption than
exercise IN the open air; and where praeti-
cable, therefore, it should never be neglected.
II the pursuits are sedentary, and more par
tieularly if requiring confinement in close
atmosphere, they should be abandoned on the
hrst indications of the disease, and large
proportion of the day. when the weather per.
mits, be spent out of doors, and in such exer-
cises as are agreeable to the bodily strength.
Were we required to mention the remedy
which promises most in the outset of con-
sumption, we would say, daily, gentle, and
Protracted exercise in mild and eauable
temperature.
Exercise and pure air, by invigorating di.
gcstlon and all functions of the body, must
consequently elevate the restorative powers of
the constitution. The frequent inhalation,
too, OF mild air into the lungs, withimoder-
ate exercise, moreover, determines the blood
to the surface of the body, rendering the
cutaneous function more active and health
tul' and may in this way also contribute to
the advantage of the lungs
