THE ToMAro AS FooD.-Dr. Bennett a pro-
fessor of some celebrity, considers the tomato
an invaluable article of diet, and ascribes to it
very important medical properties:
lst. That the tomato is one of the most pow
erful apcrients of the liver and other organs /;
where calomel is indicated, it is probably one
of the most effective and the least harmful
remedial agents known in the profession. I'd.
That a chemical extract will be obtained from
it that will supcrcede the use of calomel in the
cure of disease. Sd. That he has successfully
treated diarrhea with this article alone. 4th.
That when used as an article of diet it is almost
sovereign for dyspepsy and indigestion. 9TH.
That it should be constantly used for daily
food; either cooked raw or in the form of cat
sup; it is the most healthy article now in use.

Ayers Cathartic Pills,
FOR all The PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYslc.

are so composed that disease WITT in the range of their
action can rarely Withstand or evade them. Their PEN
etrating properties search, and cleanse, and ~invigorate
diseased action, and restoring its healthy ~vitalities. As
a consequence of these properties, the invalid who is
bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished
to find his health or Energy restored by a remedy at
once SO simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday complaints of
every body, but also many formidable and dangerous
diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish
gratis my American Almanac, containing certificates
of their cures and directions for their use in the follow
ing complaints: Costireness, Heartburn, Headache,
arising from disordefed stomach, Nausea, Indigestion,
Loss Of appetite, Jaandice, and other kindred COM
plants, arising from a low state of the body or obstruc-
ton of its functions. They are an excellent Alternative
for the renovation of the blood and the restoration of
tone and STRENGTH to the system debilitated by disease.

ZEE
Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Fever, or Fever and Ague, Re-
mittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Head
ache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed for the
whole class of diseases originating in bill
larry arrangement, caused by the Malaria
of miasmatie countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
c~essities of the American people than a sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we are
now enabled to offer, with a perfect certainty
that it will eradicate the disease, and with as
suranee, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be of immense service in the conmu-
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better than
cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he
must run in violent attacks of this balefu, dis
temper. This CURE" expels the miasmatic
poison of FEVER AND AGUB from the system and
prevents the development of the disease, if taken
on the first approach of its prenonitory symptoms.
1t is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest.
The large quantity we supply for a dollar brings it
within the reach of every body and in bilious
districts, where FEVER AND AGUB prevails, every
body should have it and use it freely both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place it
within the reach of all = the poor as well as the
rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intcrmittents is, that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the ~censtitu-
ton. Those cured by it arc left as healthy as if
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disorders
arise from its irritation, among which are Neural
gia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Tooth.chc, Earachc, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in
the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and Derangement of
the Stomach, all of which, when originating in.
this cause, put on the intermittent type, or become
periodical. This "CURB" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all alike.
1t is an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in the
malarious districts. IF taken occasionally or daily
while exposed to the infection, that will be excre-
ted from the system, and cannot accumulate in
sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it
few will ever suffer from Intermittents, if they
avail themselves Of the protection this remedy

They are afraid to deny it or even to

The Leader and the Herald are dumb as to
the charge and the proof of GHoLsoN's selling
his slaves at auction in Mississippi. Neither
of them dare deny the fact-neither dare even
speak of the proof for fear their readers will
demand its publication. Republication is in
a fix, but not as great a one as it will be in on
the night of the election, for then Abolition
ism will be a used-up institution, incapable of
action, with just enough of life left to save the

,R THE RAPID CURE OF

FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Group,
Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, and for
the relief of Consumptive Patients in adj
vanced stages of the disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so numerous
are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of
country abounds in persons publicly known, who have
been restored from alarming and even desperate dis
eases of the lungs by its use. When ence tried, its
superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues
are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections
of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our
climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon
the community have failed and been discarded, this has
gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the
afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too
numerous and toe remarkable to be forgotten.

PHe~monia, Diseases Of tie BopeIs arising from Cold,
disease,
This celebrated preparation. like the Bitters. may
be confidently relisd on. 1t is designed for a class
of diseases more general and more fatal than any
other to which the people of this country are sub
ject-those springing from a "slisht cold" That
eminent authority, DR.. Bell, says: !" will not say
that Colds are to onr inhabitants what the Plague
and Yellow Fever are to those of other countries !;
but, l can aver confidently that they usher in disease
of greater completely and mortality than these latter. 4"
a further proof of 9he terrible fatality OF diseases
resulting from a common cold " may be seen by a
glance of the following statistics taken from the
records of the Board of Health of Philadelphia, con-
fessedly one of the most healthy localities in the

From these fgur,s it will lie seen that nearly one
fourth of the total deaths in the country are caused
~sumpt to saw nothing of the numerous other
diseases springing from a slight cold"
Do not tritie with your health; but, if suffering
from a cough, or cold on the lungs. buy a bottle of
H~OOFLAND'S BALSAMIC CORDIAL, and you
may safely count on a cure. Thousands have done
SO, and have certified to its wonderful effects.
Coughs sometimes proceed from a disordered or
d~yspeptic state of the stomach in which case the
German Bitters should be used. In cases of weak
ness, or general debility of the system. resulting from
q protracted cough, the German BitterS viii be found
of great benefit.
