FNHE APPETITE FOR LIQUOR DEsTROYED.-One OF
l. the beautiful properties possessed by Dr..
Webber's Invi gorating Cordial is that it removes
all longing or taste for liquor. Many inebriates
have found that after it has renewed and strength
encd them Quetcd their nerves, it has caused
aversion to spirits. | have seen it cure some Of
the most irightiul cases where dslrium TemenS
has act ally occurred.
1t is conscicntiously offered in any of the fol-
lowing similar dseases:
Fever and Ague, Chiils,
Pains in the Limbs, Joints, Body,
Nervousness, weakness, LangOur,
Dciirium Trencns, Sea Sickness,
Constitutional Decline, from any case
Debility in Males or Females,
TOrpOr of the Natural Functions,
Liver, Bowels. Brain, Nc.,
IIabituaI Constipation.
dyspepsia, Low Spirits,
Loss of Appetite, sleep, Memory.
ITO many the above may seem extravagant
| praise of this concocton, but if they could
see (ns | have) the many whom this has restored
to health they would not be surprised at any Ian
guage used in its praise. To offer more certili-
Gates is useless at least eighty have already been
published, and only the thick-headed, sclf-wise,
skcptc and unbclevcr can doubt that it is the
most blessed health restorer and strength-give
ever invented by man. 1t restores and perma-
nently nvigorates the brokcndown system. Nay.
more it replaces natural weakness with strength.
The dcspondng it revves. the feeble it endOws
with vigor and the chcerfulness and strength
which it restores or creates it also preserves To
the sickly wife it impnrts that degree of vital
force necessary to the crowning joy and great OBJ
jcct OF matrmony. To the debilitated husband it
gives the nervous and muscular energy which
characterizcs manhood. 1t can, indeed, be con-
scientiously recommended to all suffering. and
the proprietor REGRETs DEEPLY that it is neces-
gary thus to ADVERTISE it, in order that its merits
mny become known Sold highly concentrated.

EV The age Of horse is now more eas
ly told by his eyes than his teeth, in this
way: After the horse is nine years of age,
wrinkle comes on the eyed at the lower
lid, and every year thereafter he has one d e.
fined wrinkle for each year over nine. If,
for instance, horse has three wrinkles, he
is twelve; if four, he is thirteen; add the
number of wrinkles to nine, and you will al
ways get it, So says writer; aud he is
confident it will never fail. AS great
many people have horses over nine, it is cas-

&sy- The question is often asked-"Why is it
that DR.. j. G. Young is so successful. while 9th
er advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day?n The answer must be or should be- plain
ly apparent to all; it is, that he understands his
profession, and attends to it,; and rs his practice
increases his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tice that he is perfect master of his profession
and can insure all relief from their troubles; and
while Others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward, placing him at
the head of his arduous profession. SO great
has been his increase of bus mess that he has
heen Obliged to associate with himself two other
physicians. both of extended knowledge and prac-
tice. We would advise all afflicted to call upon
him in preference to any other Physician. We
are informed that he treats entirely on the vege

ANT TO MINERS AND TRAVELLERS.

TVyHERE is no malady OF deeper Importance,
IL either in medical or moral point Of view,
to which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS q medical man, it is the duty OF every ply
scian to look at disease as it affects health and
life and his sole object should be to mitigate, as
far as in his power, their bodily suffering. HUI
man nature IS at best but frail; all are liable to
misfortune.
OF all ills that affect man, none are more ter
rible than those of private nature. Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it, frightful as
are it's ravagcs upon his constitution, ending fre-
ouently in destruction and loathsome grave, 1t
becomes of still greater Importance when 1t is
transmitted to innocent offspring. Such being
the case how important it becomes that every
one having the least to fear that they have
contracted the disease, should attend to it at
once by consulting some physician, whose respec-
tobilitv and education enables him to warrant q
safe speedy, and permanent cure In accordance
with this necessity DR.. Young feels called upon
to state that by long study and extensive practice,
he has become perfect master OF al those diseases
which come under the denomination OF venereal,
and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other Physician in the United
States, he feels himself better qualified to treat
them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Ulcers, Swell

common things daily observations.
The doctor effects cure in recent cases in a
few days and finds no difficulty in curing those
of long duration. without submitting the patient
to such treatment as will neglect his business,
