LATE THE DO KELs.
Depend upon it, mothers it will give rest to your.
selves, and Relief and Health to your infants.
We have put up and sold this article for over ten
years. and can say, in con6depce and truth of it. what
we have never been able to say of any other medicine
never has it failed in single instance to effect
CURE when timely used. Never did we know an in
stance of dissatisfaction by any who has used it.
On the contrary, all delighted with it's operations
and speak in terms of highest commentator of its
magical effects and medical virtues. We speak in
this matter WHAT WE DO KNOW" after ten years
perience, and pledge reputation for the fument
OF what we here declare. In almost every instance
where the infant is suffering from pain and exhaus-
ton, relief will be found in fifteen twenty minutes
after the syrup is administered.
This valuable preparation is the prescription of
one of the most Experienced and SkillfuI Nurses In
New England, and has been used with failing
success in thousands of cases.
It not only relieves the child from PAIN hut inviQ-
crates the stomach and bowels, corrects acdty and
gives tone and energy to the whole system. It will
almost instantly relieve Gripping in the Bowels and
Wind Collie, and overmore Commissions which if not
speedily remedied, end in death. We believe it the
best and surest remedy in the world in all cases of
DYSENTERY and DIARRHGA in Children, arising
from teething, or from any other cause. We would
say to every mother who has child suffering from
any OF the foregoing complaints-do not let your
own prejudices nor the prejudces of others, stand

this medicine, if timely used

The Loeb Willow School.

Inc lEOcn Willow school.
This Institution of learning recently estab-
lished in the vicinity of the quiet little village of
Churehville, as one among the many improve
ments of our county, deserves especial notice
The buildings are large and well arranged, and
are situated on lofty eminence, commanding a
view of one OF the most fertile sections of our
county together with that Of the picturesque
mountains which loom up with all of natures
sublimity before them. The healthfulness of its
situation, the strict morality of the people who
compose the surrounding neighborhood and its
entire seclusion from all kinds of vice, render it
one Of the most suitable schools not only in the
Valley but in the State for the education of
youth. The Principal, Mr.. J. .Hotchkiss, is a
gentleman well known to nearly every citizen of
Augusta He is known far and wide as the
Founder of the Messy Greek Academy. His a.
bilitV scholar is unquestionable, and as a
teacher and disciplinarian he is unsurpassed any
where.
In my wide experience with teachers and pro-
fessors of the highest order of talents, / have
never met with one who is more thoroughly
acquainted with the workings of the youthful
mind nor one who has more of the natural gift
for imparting knowledge to others.
Though no title or degree is attached to his
name do not hesitate to say he is far superior
to many of the A. MS who graduate at our
great University. The fact of his being North
erner by birth may in the eyes of many, entitle
him to share of Southern prejudice, but all
who have been acquainted with him since his
settlement among Us more than twelve years a.
go, are fully aware that he is as thorough-going
a Virginian as a native born Virginan. No
stranger need to fear that he will patronze al
Abolitionst by sending son to his school.
" He is at present ably assisted by an efficient
teacher who is a graduate of the University
His brother, Mr.. N. Fl. Hotchkiss, who is his
partner, and who has charge of the boarding de-
partment. is courteous and exceedingly hosp-
table gentleman, well calculated to give salts
faction to ALL
Well does TIE Loeb Willow School deserve
the patronage of all Virgnians, and long may it
thrive. AN OLD Pupil.
