TIMELY CAUTION.
The following letter from gentlemen in Phila-

by worthless article, and who, knowing by
experience the virtues of the genuine Wistar's
Balm Of Wild Cherry, wishes to caution the
public against similar impostions
Philadelphia, Jan. 80, 1860.
Messrs. Seth w. Fowle & Co., Boston -
My wife having been afflicted with a very Sc
we're cough for nearly two years, was induced
by friend to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, and finding great reliefin it, she perse-
vered in it's use with the most beneficial results
Ny object in writing is to inform you that
you would advance your own interest as well as
that of the suffering Community, by advertising
such retail druggists as keep it for sale Being
ON one occasion out of the Balsam, called at a
drug store in this city to purchase bottle, when
a spurious and worthless imitation was offered
me as the genuine. By advertising in this man.
ner you will protect the public from imposition
and advance your own interests, as a medicine
having the estimable virtues of Wistar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry should never suffer in reputation
by coming in competition with worthless and
delectarious mixtures.
With respect yours truly.
M. HALLOWELL.
CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The
only genuine Wistar's Balsam has the written
signature Of T. BUTTS. = and the printed one

western Africa. Indeed the amount OF good
already secured in this portion of the great con-
tinent very far exceeds our most sanguine an
ricipations. Bishop Payne. of the Episcopal
Mission at Cape Palmas, aud who has labored
in Africa for twenty-five years. is reported to
have publicly stated that there was scarcely a
village between the Gambia and the mouth of
the Gaboon a distance of two thousand miles
where traveller would not be al least saluted
by native in the English tongue. Along this
whole extent where, forty years ago, all was
barren and unchrIslian, the language has been
written in twenty five dialects; there are one
hundred church buildings, two hundred schools,
and over sixteen thousand children. while the
Gospel is preached to over FIVE millions of Afri-
cans. Truly there is hope for Africa, and fol
