fTHEApAcnE is the favorite sign by which na- ture makes known any deviation. whatever from the natural state of the brain and viewed in this light it may be looked on as safeguard intended to give notice of disease which might otherwise escape attention till too late to be remcdied; and it's indications should never be neglected. Head. aches may be classified under two names, viz |: Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head- ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor of great variety of diseases, among which are Apoplcxy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febriie dis cases. In it's nervous form it is sympathetic of disease of the stomach constituting sick heddGche, of heptic disease constituting BILIOUS HEADACHE, of worms constipation and other disorders of the bowels, as we'll as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of tho heart are very frequently attended with Headaches; Anamia and plethora are also affections which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually distinguished by the name of NERVOUS HEADACHE, sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently sound health and prostrating at once the mental and physical energies. and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits accrbity of temper In most instances the pain is in the front of the head over one orboth eyes, and sometimes provoking vom- iting; under this class may also be named NEU- RALGIA.
 For the treatment of either class of Headache the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in few minutes, and by it's subtle power eradicating the diseases of which Headacne is the unerriDg index

Constipation or Cost!veness,

No ono of the ' many ills fesl, is heir to- is so prevalent, so little understood, and so much neg lccted as Costivcness Often originating in care- lessness, sedentary habits; it is regarded as a slight disorder of too little consequence to excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and companion of many of the most fatal and danger ous diseases, and unless early erat!icated it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which costivencss is the usual attendant are Headache, Co!ic, Rheumatism Fou! Breath. Piles and others of like nature, while q long train of frightful diseases such Malignant Fcvers, Abcesses, Dysentery. Diarrhea Dyspep- sia, Aoeplcxy Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Fly pochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first in- dicate their presence in the system by this alarm ing symptom. Not unfrequently the diseases named originate in Constipation, but take independent existence unless the cause is cradica. ted in an early stage. From all these considara- tion, it follows that the disorder should receive immediate attention whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect to get a box of Ccphalic Pills on the first appearance of the complaint, as their timely use will expel the insiluous ap- breaches o: disease and destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

TIE INFLAMMATION OF LANGUAGEs.-There is Q growing tendency in this age to appropriate the most expressive words of other languages, and af- ter while to incorporate them into our own 1; thus the word Cephalic, which is from the Greek, signifying ''for the head,' is now becoming pop Headache remedy, but it will soon be used in a more general way. and the word Cephalic will become as common as Electrotype and many oth- CTS whose distinction as foreign words has been worn away by common usage until they seem native and to the manor born"

WE beg leave to call the atten- W tion of the Trade, and more especially the Physicians of .the country, to two of the most pop ular remedies now before the pub lie. We refer to
 Dr. Chas. M'Lans's Celebrated Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
 We do not recommend them as universal Curc-alls, but simply for what their name purports, viz.:
 THE VERMIFUGE, For expelling Worms from the human system. It has also been administered with the most satis- factory results to various Animals subject to Worms.
 THE LIVER PILLS, For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS, all BILIOUS DERANcEMENrs, SICK HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of FEVER AND AGUE, preparatory to, or after taking Qui- nine, they almost invariably make speedy and permanent cure.
 As specifies for the above men, toned diseases, they are Unrivaled, and never known to fail when ad- ministered in accordance with the directions.
 Their unprecedented popularity has induced the proprietors,
 FLEMING BROTHERS,
 PITTSBURGH, PA. to dispose of their Drug business, in which they have been success fully engaged for the last Twenty Years, and they will now give their undivided time and attention to their manufacture. And being de- termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele- brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills shall continue to occupy the high position they now hold among the great remedies of the day, they will continue to spare neither time nor expense in procuring the Best and Purest material, and com- pound them in the most thorough manner.

AMERICAN & FOREIGN PATENTS

RE H. EDDY, Solicitor of Patents, late RAs Agent of the U $. Patent Office, Wash ingten, under the Act of 1887 .)-76 State St., opposite kilbySt., Boston.
 After an extensive practice of upwards oftwen. ty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States also in Great Britain, France, and other foreign countries. Caveats, Specica- tions, Assignments, and all Papers or Drawings for Patents, executed in liberal terms, and with despatch Researches made into American or Foreign works to determine the validity or util- ity of Patents or 1nyentions-and legal or oth- CT. advice rendered in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furll ishcd by rcmitting One Dsliar. Assignments recorded at Washington.
 This Agency is not only the largest in New England, but drought inventors have advan- tagcs for securing patents, or ascertalnlng the patcntability of inventions, unsurpassed by if not immeasurably superior to, any that can be offered them elsewhere. The testimonials be low given, prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE than the subscriber and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES OR ABILITY, he would add that Le has abundant reason to believe, and can prove, that at no oth- CT office of the kind are the charges for profrs- sional services so moderate. The immense prac- tice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate vast collection of specifications and official decisions relative tS, of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted ill the United States and Eu- roDe render him able, beyond question:, to of fer superior facilities for obtaining patents.
 All necessity of journey to Washington, to procure a patent, and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.
