PR0F. o. j. WOOD-Dear Sir: Some time last
summer we were induced to use some of your Hair
Restorative, and its effects were so wonderful we
feel it our duty TO you and the afflicted, TO report
it.
Our little sons head for some time had been
perfectly covered with sores, and some called il
scaid head. The hair almost entirely came off in
consequence, when friend, seeing his snfferings
advised rs to use your Restorative we did so with
little hope OF success, but to surprise and
that of all our friends avery few applications re-
moved the disease entirely, and a new and llxuri-
ant crop OF hair soon started out and We can now
say that our boy has as healthy scalp, and as
luxuriant crop Of hair as any other child. We
can therefore, and do hereby recommend your Re-
stpratiye, as perfect remedy for all diseases of
the scalp and hair. We are. yours respectfully.

Dr. Hardman trewats Consumption, Bronchitis
Asthma, LaIryngttis, and all diseases Of the throat
and lungs, by medical Inhaaton iattly used in the
Hr0mtOn Hospital, London. The great point III
the treatment of ali human malldies is to get at
the disease in the diect manner. All incidence
are estimated by their action upon the organ
curing relief. This is the important fact upon
which Inhalation is based. II the stomach is di-
Seased we take medicine recily into the stomach.
If the lungs diseased, breathe or inhalc medi-
Gated vapors directly into tie lungs. Medicines
are the antdotes to disease and should be applied
to the very seat OF disease. Inhalaton is the APP
plicaion Of this principle to the treatment of the
lungs, for ii gives direct access to those intr-
cate air cells and tubes which lie out of reach of
avery other means OF administering medicines
The reason that consumption, and other diseases
OF the lungs, have heretofore resisted all treatment
has been because they had never been approached
in direct manner by medicine. They were intend
ed to at upon the lungs aud yet were applied to
the stomach Their action was intended to be 10.
cal, and yet they administered that they
should act constitutionaly, extending immediate
and principal action upon the unotiending stomach,
whilst the foul ulcers within tn lungs were unmo
Tested. Inhalation brings the medicine in direct
contact with the disease, without the disadvantage
Of any violent action. It's application is so sim
pie that it Can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. 1t dees not derange the $50
mach, interfere in the least degree with the
strength, comfort, or business of the patient
OTHER DISEASES TREATED.--In relation
to the folowiagd seases, either when complicated
with lung affections existing alone, also invt-
consultation. | usually ini them promptly curabe.
Prolapsus and all other forms of female com
plaints irregularities, and weakness.

GEN. WALKER AND NIoARAGEA.-A letter from
San Jose to the AspinWal LiJera says the Peansyl,
C0RiaR states that the whole object Of the Nieara-
guam and Costa Rican Governments in sending IA
REz to this country is to gain time in order to al
low NJ. BELLY to consummate his arragements with
the French Government, and secure the promised
protection of France. The letter says tPat his ar
rangemsnt finds favor only with politicians-that
the people of Nicaragua are tired of the perpetual
anarchy under which they live and would welcome
any change which would bring them deliveranoe
The following is the concluding paragraph:
Had Monsieur Belly been the most devoted friend
of General Walker he could not possibly have done
him bet er service in Central America There will
certainly be no more opposition against the flibus-
ters from the United States The Cabinets are now
satisfied. D. B. Allen, the son-in-laW of Wander
bilt, and the party which came with him, will leave
by the Granada which is expectedhere on the 10Th;
and as the Belly papers were not made public in the
States until after their departure, they entered Man
aqua ignorant Of what Martinez and others had
done; and all parties now consider the appeal made
BY these governments, allied, as a great insult to
the States; aud many who have heretofore most
strenousy opposed Walker, would now be glad to
see him back in the country, and believe that the
best and most satisfactory as well speedy way Of
settling the Central American question will be for
the United States to send Walker and his followers
back to Punta Arenas from whence they were taken
by Paulding. If the United States would do this,
there need not be single life lost ora battle fought
As for myself expect to eat my next Christmas dim
ner in the capital of Nicaragua with Gen. Walker,
che acknowledged head Of affairs.
