ALMOST EVERYBODY MAS HEARD OF "WooD's
HAIR RESTORATIVE" That the word "Restora-
tiye," in this case il no misnomer we have the
testimony Of individuals whose elevated position
in the country, as well as their acknowledged
and honorable character us gentlemen, render
whatever they publicly assert in the last degree
reliable. Several of these have hsfsd, person
ally, the heir preparation we are now speaking
Of, and certify to its amazing efficacy in the most
public manner possible. Their certificates can
be seen at the propriotors Depot 3l2 broadway
New York, and once seen and properly appre-
ciatad, we have no hesitation in saying they will
impress conviction Oh the most skeptical mind
Woods Hair Restorative is, doubtless, the Jes
article Of its kind ever yet produced
.... 1t does not dye, but gives life, healtl
and beauty to the decayng, falling and dead
restoring, as if by magic, that which was sup
posed to be irrecoyerably lost. Heads nearl!

changed to their pristine beauty, and faces GOV

LARGE AppLEs.-our friend Edward Tatnall
will please accept our thanks for the basket of
very large fine Baldwin apples he was kind
enough to send us a day or two ago. If the
trees which he furnishes to his customers from
his nurseries-the Wawaset-on the Brandywine,
produce such large, healthy and desirable fruit
as that sent us, it is no wonder his orders for
fruit trees of all kinds are large. The trers must
evidently be of the choicest kinds.

ANCIENT AND MODERN MEDICAL PRAC.
TfCE.

The rapid progress towards perfection evnced
in every branch Of art and science is seldom
witnessed in that anomalous body, the medical
profession, which clings with the iron tenacity
Of superstition to its etfete and exploded Tadi-
tons This immobility Of action and opinion is
self-eYident from the fact that few, if any,
physicians are conversant with the affinity ex-
listing between disease and its remedy True
they may be familiar with the diagnosis of a
particular maady and prescribe for it from the
formula of their - Manual" but in what manner
this medicine or combination of medicines ex-
ercses a specific Influence on the disease is a
mystery to them-consequen from first to
last It's little better than game OF speculation.
We have been led to these remarks by the peru
sal of a short article from late issue of the
" London Lancet" on the uahlre and treatment
Of disease-it instances the strong sound COM
mon sense which pervAdes the System establish
ed by DR.. Holloway about the dawn Of The
present century Says the /" Lancet Dr.. Hol-
ioway Classics discusses under two heads-th'
stomach and the blood, and no matter undel
what form the disease is indicated he treat
either of these sources with his celebrated vege
table Pils-there is no idle speculation here
| the root Of the disorder is straightway attackei
and incontinently exterminated. Indigestion j
frequently accompanied by headache, bilious
ness, loss of appetite, and general debility
Indigestion is merely disorder of the stomach
and TO reach any of the above complaints "
must rectify the arrangements Of tue dgestiv
organs-in like manner Scroinous affections
such as Kings Evil, Salt Rheum, Erysipeai
Rheumatism &c. nre traced to vtiated hnmol
of the blood with which Dr. llolloway's Pill
combine and by neutraizing these humors restol
the natural healthy properties of the blood an
secretions.-" journal Qf Hedlh."

The old motto of the State of South Carolina
was "Quis Sspdra5H ?'-Wbo shall divide us ?
it referred to the bundle Of spears representing
the Union, which lie under the protecting sha-
dow of the Palmetto tree, III the State coat of
arms. The Union has been safe from external
assaults but now it is assaulted at home, by
South Carolina herself. Gould there be a more
bitter sarcasm, a more whitening taunt, to this
refractory State ahan that contained in her own
healdic device aud motto? The Union has been
unassaled by every foreign power But, for.
getting the honorable device of their fathers, the
present race Of South Carolinians are dishonor'
ing their own escutcheon. They are trying TO
break up the Union on which depends oil their
glory, past and future. But let the rest Of the
Union try to save them from this disgrace, and
adopting as a national cry, the motto Of South
Carolina, proudly ask "Qais Separa5h?"
