The Wonder of the Age !!

NJ. LINDStY'S GREAT MEDICAL DIS
es COVERY Which is a purely regctaJle
Preparation, for the purifying of the blood, CIV
ing yigor to the Liver, stomach and bowels, and
expcing from the system all morbid matter, and
substituting in its stead heathfui activity thro'
all the functions of life.
HOW II WAS DISCOVERED.
In the fall of 1854, daughter of Mr.. Lindsey
was suffering from malignant attack OF Can
crUm OriS (Canker of the mOUth.) She had pre-
viously been prostrated by the attacks of Dys-
entary, inflammation of the Lungs and Hectic Fe-
Yer. SUCCESSFULLY. which resulted in the above
med disease IL its worst form. Her condition
was most depIorable-her mouth and check were
literally rotten-the attending physician pro
nouuced the case hopeless one. Everything in
aicated a speedy and horrible death-a death of
rotting out of life At this critical juncture, Mr.
Lindsey prepared a compound ior the purpose OF
alleyiatihg; psicie, te pains Of the little suffer
er. She was made to use it freely, and ira short
time, to his most delightful sstoliishnhent, there
was very perceptible change for the LETTER.
The mouth began to put on bright and healthy
appearance-the foul breath became swect-thc
appetite-was restored, and the child seemed to
part9ke of a new and fresh life.
Hope was inspired and the use of the COM
pound faithfully continued, the result of
which, with the blessing of God, was her COM
pete restoration. She is now perfectly healthy !
Prom this circumstance, Mr.. Lindsey was led to
prepare with greater care and eXactnesst what
had so astonishly cured his child AMI continued
his experimental efforts until. he. succeeded IN
bringing to perfection his Great R6nedy for
Blood hapurty-since which time its effects have
been almost miraculous. Hundreds upon hund-
reds, by it, hare becn-snatched from an untime-
ly grave and restored to the sweets of health and
the endearmcnts of friends. The young and old
have tested its saving powers and sing aloud its
virtues Say thcy-''atteT using llndsey's lF1r
proved Blood Scarcher, we felt as if new life
was stirring our veins, and under God we owe to
it more than worls can express.
But hear from their own lips and then judge
of its valuable effects. The few testimonials that
follow show that it is dcscrvedly styled the Great
est Discovery Of this or any oa'tr age

PROF. O. J. WooD-DeaF Sir: have heard
much said o. the wonderful effects of your Hair
restorative, but having been SO often cheated by
quackery and quack nostrun.s, hair dyes, l was
disposed to place your Restorative in the same
category with the thousand and one loudly trum-
neted quack remedies, until | met you In Law
renee county some months since, WHOM you gave
me such assurance as induced the trial Of of your
restorative in my family-first by my good wife
whose hair Lad become very thin and entirely
white, and before eXhausting one of your large
bottles, her hair restor ed nearly to its origi-
nrl beautiful brown color, and had thickened and
become beautiful and glossy upon, and entirely
oAer the head she continues to use it, not simp~
ly because ofits beautifving effects upon the hair
but because of its heathful influence upon the
head and mind. Othors of my family and friends
are using your Restorative, with the happiest ef
fects; therefore, my akepticism and doubts i'll
reference to its character and value are entirely
removed; and car and do most cordially and
and conhdentlally Y recommend its by all who
would have their hair restored from white or gray
by reason OF sickness or agcl to original color
and beanty, and by all young persons who
would have their hair beautiful and glossy.

Row Beat Race TODAY.

The race to-day at 5 2. NJ, on the Mon
ongahela, between the row-boats pike" and
"Holmes," the former of which is Pittsburg
boat and the latter fine specimen of New
l ork mechanism, bids fair to be the most in
terestng and exciting incident of this charac
ter which has transpired for a long time
Both of the boats are owned in Pittsburgh,
and. as respects their merits it is generally
admitted that the ''Homes'' is much SUPERB

structed craft and if in every other particu-
lar she is equal to her opponent, it would not
be hard to guess the result of the contest, -
With the above unquestionable facts in view,
perhaps the friends of the Holmes" were
early in the field and eager for bets and we
have even heard of bids three to one The
owners of the Pike" however, are most able
and experienced oarsmen, we'll known upon
the river, all, we believe, coal boatmcn To
cheer their friends, doubtless, who at first
did not bite very readily at the magnonin,ous
bids OF the other party, they gave specimen
OF their ability to compete in race, by row
up the Ohio for fOrty-six miles, against cur
rent, which they executed in four hours
Since, the complexion of the campaign" has
considerably changed and we understand that
yesterday bets were hard to get dollar against
dollar, but large amount of money in every
description Of suns, has already been put up,
and much more probably Will be risl;ed to-
day. The wager in this race is $500, one
hundred side. and the boats will start from
the Monongehala Bridge at o'clock precise
ly, this evening.
As the boats will be in sight from first to
last, Saw Mill Run being the other point,
from which they will return to the bridge,
our citizens will have a ine opportunity for
