ToorHsoME TmNGs.-Some Indiana girls
were sitting around a Christmas fire, in one
Of the capacious chimney hooks of cabin,
when one asked the ether what she liked
best to eat! Sally replied: II like pumpkin

Kitty: "you may say what you please about

GETTING AHEAD OF "MA."-A young cou-
pie eoped from Indianapolis recently, and
were married in Cincinnati. Shortly after
the ceremony they were telegraphed, and an
officer soon traced them to the United States
Hotel where he entered the room without
knocking and found them snug in the bridal
couch. He expressed his errand, when the
young lady said, with ringing laugh, Tell
ma it's too ate-we've been married half an
hour. Te he. he e.e."
A poor Irishman, who applied for a license
to sell ardent spirits being questioned by the
Board of Excise as to his moral fitness for

of character that a man needs to sell rum!'
Adversities are blessings in disguise. We
know a man who has lived six months on
sprained ankle. lie belongs to half a dozen
societies, and draws four dollars week from
each. He once spent whole summer at
Saratoga on a sore throat.

Colonel Rivers, a tlied and gallant officer,

"Yes,' sir and if you were half as much

A dry sort ofgenius once undertook to

nR. TOZER returns his thanks to his numerous
~ patients for their patronage, and would EN-
brace this opportunity to rcmi nd them that he
continues to consult on those difficult case of vE-
NEREAI which have baffled the skill of some of the
most celebrated physicians of the age, and upon
which he has neuer failed to perform radical
cure.
DR.. Tozer's reputation as Physician stands un-
equalcd His exclusive attention to diseases OF the
gcnito urinary organs. for so many years, renders
him perfect master of syphilitic diseases.
The large number of aggravated cases that he
has perfectly cured after they have been given up
by many others is the only proof that physician
requires of his ability. DR.. Tozer would state
that he can cure any and all cases or varieties of
the diseases, no matter how long standing, or
what progress the disease has made every pa
tent can rely upon cure.
DR.. Tozer has, it is well known. taken pa
tents from the very verge Of the grave. and
restored them to perfect health. He would fur
lher state. that he deems it sufficient to attract
the attention of those who might need the SER
vices of a physician in all cases. hut particular

fcssion; to which | have the honor to belong
dctcrs me from committing any act savoring of
rank quackery, and regard for my own dignity

quacks and nostrum venders of The present age.
| offer no fraudulent or genuine certificates or
rufis of my superior qualifications as a prac-
ttioner; neither do assume to myself medical
honors to which am not entitled, but merely
ask those who are diseased, to read the differ

nR. CHARLES ii. TOZER'S CARD to the
IL afflicted of California. In approaching any
new course of systematic inquiry, there
certain points concerning which the inquirer
should always be careful to satisfy himself.
He should comprehend distinctly what the sub
jcct of inquiry is-Health and Disease.
If we can form and fix in our minds clear
conception of the state OF Health, we shall have
no difficulty in understanding what is meant
by disease. But beyond, though not above these
objects of investigation of the human body, we
have another and still nobler end. 1t is to lay
before you in such plain terms that you cannot
me mistaken and will know where to apply for
relief
l use the word DISEASE generally, and before
l speak of the signs of particular diseases, it
will be proper to take general view of symp-
TOMS When a person is troubled or afflicted
with disease, which causes weakness of the
back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness of
sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of
the heart, irritability. nervousness, dyspepsia
arrangement of the digestive functions gener-
al debility. symptoms of consumption. and many
others which are better explained than put on
paper. and require Medical or Surgical attendance
it would be well for them to inquire if there is
physician who is competent to attend them,
and who understands the application of medi-
cine and whose Scientific Attainments in his pro-
fession and whose age and experience cntitle
him to your confidence. Considering these things,

clans and have been pronounced by them past

as one in whom secresy and the utmost conf.

Dr. G. H. T. would invite all that are afac-
ted to call on him. and if he does not administer
for them, there will be no charge made. Let
no false delicacy prevent you, but apply imme-
diately and save yourself from the dreadful con-
sequence which must follow those who neglect to
receive attendance.

OLD But GooD.-Bill p. was making a
Journey in a stage coach, over the hilv roads
in the western part of the State, and amused
himself on the way by frequent resorts to the
comfort of mysterious black bottle which
he had with him. Suddenly the coach came
in contact with large stone, which, without
doing any other damage, deprived Billy of
his equilibrium and down he rolled on the
ground.
"Wotn thunder yer doing!" said Billy,
show come you to tip over!'
The driver informed him that the stage
had not been overturned at all; and the pas
sengers assur ed Billy that Jehu was right.
Billy approached the vehicle again, and re-
mounted slowly to his former seat outside.
Didn't upset, d'you say'
Not at ALL, replied the driver.
