6S The Rev. J. c. Fletcher gave us last even ing, brilliant lecture on the religion, customs and people of Brazil. Seldom have we relished anything more than the picture he laid before his audencs of that exuberant garden of the tropics laden with it's strange variety of fruits and flow CTS, tseming in perpetual harvest for the hand of man Surely tha: country must be the garden of the world, and if its people had the enterprise which moves this Yankee nation, imagination could not set a bound to the results they would produce there. As relevant to this comparison the Reverend gentleman stated that the best Remedies employed there for the diseases to which they are subject. arc invented and supplied to them by our own we'll known countryman, Dr J. c. Aver of Lowell. Mass, and that not the people only. but the priesthood and the conrt of the Emperor down, have constant recourse in sickness to the Remedies of this widely celebra- ted American Chemist.-Ledgr, Boston.

fiOLLOWAY,S OINTMENT.

TDAD LEGS, BAD BREASTS, SORES AND UI. GD cERs-All descriptions of sores are remedi-
 able by the proper and diligent use of this inesti- lnable preparation. To attempt to cure Lad legs by clustering the edges of the wound is Q folly for should the skin unite, bOggy diseased cOndi tion remains underneath to break out with ten- fold fury in few days The only rational and successful treatment. indicated by nature Is to reduce the inflammation in about the wound and to soothe the neighborng parts by rubbing in plenty of the Ointment as salt is forced into meat
 DIPrnERIA, ULcERATED SORE THROAT AND SCARLET AND OTHER FEvERs.-Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rubbing the Oint- ment three times day into the chest, throat and neck of the patient it will soon penetrate, and give immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth must operate upon the whole system ere it's influence can be felt in any local part, whereas the Ointment will do it's work at once. Who. ever tries the ungucnt in the above manner for the diseases named, or any similar disorders affecting the chest and throat, will find then- selves relieved as by a charm.
 PILES, FIsTULAs STRUCTURES The above class of complaints will be removed by nightly fomsnt ing the parts with warm water. and then by most eifectually rubbing in the Ointment. Persons suffering from these dircful complaints should
 lose not a n'iie'.t in arresting their progress It should be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, lu, it mist be well rubbed in for some considerable tine two or three times day that it may be taken into the system whence it will remove any hidden sore wound as effectuaIly as though palpable to the eye There again bread and water poultces, after tle rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service This is the only sure treatment for females. cases of cancer in the stomach, or where there may be q general bear ing down.
 SUBSCRIPTIONS OF YouTu, 'soREs AND ULCERS.
 -Blotches, as also swellings can. with certainty be radically cured if the Ointment be used freely, and the Piils be taken night and morning as re- commended in the printed instructions. When treated in any other way they only dry up in one place to break out in another whereas this Oint- mcnt will remove the humor from the system, and leave the patient vigorous and healthy be-
 ing It will require time with the use of tke Pills to ensure a lasting cure.
 DRorsrcAL SwELLINGs, PARALYSIS, AND STIFF JoINrs rs-Although the above complaints differ widely in their origin and nature yet they all quirc local treatment Many of the worst cases. of such diseases, will yield in a comparatively short space of time when this Ointment is dili- gently rubbed into the parts affected even after every other means have failed. In all serious maladics the Pills should be sakcn according to the printed directions accompanying each box.
