TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASE.

TREATMENT OF ClIRONIC DISEASEs
DRS. L. 81. W. BARBER, will devote special
- attention TO the treatment of Chronic Dis
eases. And believing, as w do, that no Physic-
ian who is engaged in the active duties of q gen
eral practice, has time to give these diseases that
attention which they must have, if they arc suo-
c~essfully treated, one of this firm viii hereafter
devote his exclusive attention to this branch Of the
profession; and from our experience heretofore,
we can assure the public that a great majority Of
Chronic Disease s can be cured. Below we mention
O few that we treat with success.
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Ep-
ilepsy, Scorfula, Spinal diseases, Uterine Affect
ions, Cancer, Fistula, Piles, Ulcer, Diseases oftho
Eye, Skin, Kidneys, &c. In the treatment of
Cancer, we do not rely on the knife, for the Ieas-
on that it will not permanently cure this disease.
We have for several years treated Cancer by the
local application of medicines that win remove
the entire cancerous mass, and also the roots,
which cannot be removed with the knife then
heal the ulcer with suppuration. Every case of
Cancer, unless 1t has been standing so long that
the system has given way and become impregna-
ted with the disease, can be speedily and perma-
nently cured this way.
We treat Fistula upon the same plan, except
where the case is obstinate, when we have recourse
to the ~ligature, and with complete success in eve
ny case.
Persons wishing treatment for Cancer or Fistu-
Ia, should come 10 Chillicothe, where they will
have to remain a short time, as they should be
seen daily while under treatment. We would
also call especial attention to the treatment of dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs, by the initiation
of medicated Vapor; the old plan of taking the
medicine into the stomach has always been nm
satisfactory, but by Medicated Inhalation we can
bring the Medicated Vapor in contact with the
Mucous Lining Of the air passages and air cells.
and it is very efficient in removing diseases Of
those parts. For removeing diseases Of
the Throat, Bronchitis and Asthma, this
treatment is almost infallible.
We make extensive use Of Eleetricity'in tho
treatment Of all nervous diseases. PARALYSIS will
be greatly benefited, and if of recent standing,
permanently cured by its use.
As above stated, one member of this firm will
give his exclusive attention to the treatment ofthis
class Of diseases. lie will visit patients. when de-
sired, in this or the adjoining counties. The
other will always be found, when not absent ION

on Paint street, nearly opposite the Market House

The Scratches in Horses may be
cured, unless very inveterate, by wash
ing thoroughly with sop-Suds, and
then rubbing with lard fried out of
salt meat. Keepclean, and wash and
grease every other day until a cure is
effected. Leaving mud to dry upon

Of this disease, and many horses are

|TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS
Il Having made our purchases for spring upon
more favorable terms than anticipated, it gives us
pleasure to announce to the trade that we are
now receiving n stock of Boots, Shoes, Leather
and findings unsurpassed in extent or quality by
any of our previous purchases, and which we beg
leave to exhibit to our customers at their earliest
convenience. We have made a change in our
firm recently, by which all connected with our
establishment are partners, and, therefore, more
particularly interested in its prosperity. We will
be governed by the same principles which char
ucterized the business of the late firm md which
proved so acceptable to their patrons. Strict ad-
herence to one price, small profits and upright
fair dealing, or none. We will offer no "bait ~
to get new trade or retain what we have, but will
sell more goods for less money, lin the course of a
year, } and give better satisfaction than any house
that practices upon the JOCKEY system, or makes
high sounding promises to sell goods at five per
cent less than every body. We continue to man
]utacture Il large portion Of the work we offer,
which We will warrant equal to any in quality,
and will furnish extra sizes to order.
Eastern work is made expressly for us and will
DC warranted to purchasers.
The extent of our business and our facilities for
obtaining goods from first hands, warrant us in
repeating that We can sell goods in our line upon
equal terms with any Jobbing House, EAST or
WEST, and that we fear no regular competition
from any quarter. We respectfully invite an en-
animation of our stock and prices, assuring all of
our determination to sell mot tho first or second
bill only, but always at the lowest possible prices
consistent with a living profit, and warrant our
goods as we represent them.
We tender our hearty thanks to the patrons of
the late firm for the courtesies and Kindness re-
.ceived at their hands, and trustby strict attention
to business and unremitting efforts to please, the
new firm will merit and receive a continuance of
their favors. ap24tf

You've AMERICA.--A certain Judge
while attending Court in a shire town,
was passing along the road where a
boy was just letting down the bars to
drive some cattle in. His father
stood in the door Of his home, on the
opposite side Of the road, and seeing
what his hopeful boy was doing, shout
ed out
"John, don't you drive them cattle
in there; told you to put them in the
pasture behind the house."
The boy took no notice whatever of
the remonStrance, and his fathe re-
peated the order in a louder tone,
without the least effect--and the third
time gave positive orders not to
drive the cattle in there. The son.
didn't even deign to look up, and dis
obeyed the parental injunction with a
GOODNESS which positively shocked the
Judge, who, looking at the culprit,
said, in a tone of official dignity:
"Boy, don't you hear your father
speaking to you!"
"Oh, ya.a-s," replied the youth,
casting a glance at the Judge and then
at his parent, ''but | don't mind
what he says. Mother don't neither,
and tween she and |, we've about got
the dog SO he don't. "--Arthw G2-
