ARE DR.. HURD'S PREPARATIONS GOOD q?

The best evidence that they are is, that their
frmest friends and best patrons are those who
have used them longest. DR.. WILLIAM B.
HURD is an eminent Dentist of Brooklyn.
Treasurer of the New York State Dentists
Association, and these preparations have been
used in his private practice for years, and no
leading citizen of Brooklyn or Willamsburgh
questions their excellence, while eminent
Dentists of New York recommend them as the
best known to the profession. Without the
aid of advertising, dealers have sold them by
the gross.
The Editor ofthe Brooklyn Daily Times says :
ave are happy to know that our friend, DR..
Hurd, is succeeding beyond all expectations
with his Mouth Wash and Tooth Powder. The
great secret of his success rests with the fact
that his articles are precisely what they are
represented to be, as we can testify from their
long USE"
The well-known P. T. Barnum writes :-"I
found your Tooth Powder so good that my
family have used it all up We find it the
best Powder for the teeth that we ever used.
shall feel obliged if you will send me another
supply at the Museum at your convenience,
with the bill"
But their cost is so small that every one
may test the matter for himself
Beware of the ordinary Tooth Powders. DR..
Hurd's Tooth Powder contains no acid, nor
alkali, nor charcoal, and polishes without
wearing the enamel. Use no other.
WHAT DOES DR.. AURD'S REMEDIES EFGECT 3?
Dr. Hurds Mouth Wash and Tooth Poecder
will give young ladies that finest charm in
woman-a sweet breath and pearly teeth. Try
them, ladies.
Dr. Hurds Mouth Wash and Tooth Powder
will cleanse the mouth from all foul exhala-
tions, and if used in the morning, will make
the breakfast taste sweeter and the day begin
more pleasantly. Hundreds of persons can
testify to this. Try them, gentlemen.
Dr. Hurds Mouth Wash and Tooth Ponder
are the best preparations in the world for cur
ing BAD BREATH and giving firmness and health
to the gums. Hundreds Of cases Of Diseased
Bleeding Gums, Sore Mouth Canker, etc,
have been cured by DR.. Hurd's astringent wash.
DR.. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth PO,cder
give an additional charm to courtship, and
make husbands more agreeable to their wives
and wives to their husbands. They should
be used by every person having ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, which are liable to impart a taint to
the mouth.
DR.. Hurd's Toothac6c Drops cure Toothache
arising from exposed nerves, and are the best
friends that parents can nave in the house to
save their children from tortue and themselves
from loss of sleep and sympathetic suffering.
Farmers and Mechanics you cannot well
afford to neglect your teeth. For a triGing
sum, you can now get preservatives, than
which Rothschild or Astor can get nothing
better. Remember that Dyspepsia and Con-
sumption of the Lungs often originate in Neg
lect of Teeth. Send for the Treatise on Teeth,
and read DR.. Fitch's observation on this sub
ject. If too late to arrest decay in your own
teeth, save your children's teeth

Poor Richards Almanac.

Below will be found few selections
from "Poor Richards's Almanac" the au-
thor of which is generally known to be
Benjamin Franklin.
Take this remark from Richard, poor
and lame.
What'er begins in all anger ends in
shame.
An egg to-day is better than hen to-
morrow.
Law, like oobwebs, catch small flies.
Great ones break through before your
eyes.
If pride leads the van, poverty brings
up the rear.
God heals, and the doctors takes the
fees.
Mary's mouth costs her nothing, for
she never opens it but at another's ex-
pense.

ease,
Must not speak all he knows, nor
judge all be sees.
H. that can travel well afoot, keeps a
good horse.
The worst wheel of the cart makes the
most noise.
He that falls in love with himself will
have no rivals.
Against disease here, the strongest
fence,
Is the defensive virtue, Abstinence.
Tart words make no friends; a spoon
full of honey will catch more flies than a
gallon of vinegar.
Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep
thee.
Beware of little expenses a small leak
will sink large ship.
An ounce of wit that is bought,
Is worth pound that is taught.
A ploughman on his legs is higher
than gentleman on his knees.
Mad kings and mad bulls are not to be
held by treaties and pack thread.
What maintains one vice will bring up
two children.
A mob's a monster, head enough but
no brains.
Nothing Is humber than ambition
when it is about to climb.
When Prosperity was well mounted,
she let 90 the birdie, and soon tumbled
out of the saddle.
A change of fortune hurts a wise map
no more than a change of the moon.
Ii that has trade has no office of
profit and honor
A false friend and a shadow attend on
ly when the sun shines.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep.
And you will have corn to sell and
keep.
If you would not be forgotten when
you are dead, write something worth
reading or do something worth writing.
Nothing dries sooner than a tear.
Satin, silk and velvet have put out the

The first mistake in public business is
the going into it.
The idle man is the devils hireling-I

keepers.

Never take wife till thou hast house

Great takers little doers.
A rich rogue is like fat hog,
Who never does good till as dead as a
dog.
Fools make feasts and wise men eat
them.
The poor have little--beggars nome
the rich too much-enough not one.
Mankind are very odd creatures. One

half practise what they censure. The
rest always do as they ought.
Old boys have their playthings as well

If man could have his wishes he

relief will surely follow. Nothing can be OBJ

curious, a1d original preparation, and won
derfully successful. They are of two sizes,

WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE DOING?
The American people are intelligent enough
TO appreciate preparations that contribute so
much to the happiness of those using them
and they want them. Every mail brings US
letters, some ordering the TREATISE ON TEETH
some the NEURALGIA PLAsTERs, and not few
enclosing 81 cents for the MOUTH WASH, to be
sent by mail; but to those we are compelled
to reply that it is impossible to send half
pint bottle by mail. The people want these
Remedies. Who 'ciN supply them? Now is the
Chance for Agents.
Shrewd agents can make small fortune in

The following private letters, says the Lynehburg

for publication, contain the latest and most interest
ing information as to the movements and results of
Gen. Jackson's expedition. The letters were
written by most intelligent and well-informed
gentleman, and we feel assured that the informa-
ton he conveys may berelied on as strictly true ::
WINCHESTER Jan. Our accounts of Gen.
Jackson's movements, near Bath, are down to
night before last, (Sunday) There had been no
fighting beyond a little skirmishng, in which some
three or four casualties occurred on each side, and
the capture by our people OF two cannon and ten
or twelve prisoners, when the enemy retreated
across the Potomac at Hancock. We had also
burnt the bridge across the mouth Of Capou. The
enemy's force, by what seems the most reliable
estimates was not more than two or three thousand
The weather has been intensely cold, and our men
must have suffered greatly
WINCHESTER, Jan. s. ls62.-Gen. Jackson is said
to have accomplished the object Of his visit to the
Potomac, near Bath and is now on his return.
That object, suppose, was the destruction OF Dam
No. 6, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the
bridges on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Gen.
j. lost in the expedition some twenty men. There
was but small force of the enemy in that quarter
and but little fighting, but suspect we lost more
men than the enemy did.
Another unfortunate affair occurred IN Hamp-
shire yesterday. Some five Or SIX hundred OF our
| militia, who were stationed near Col Blues, on
the Northwestern Road, fourteen miles this side of
Romney, were attacked about daylight by about
| 1000 Of the enemy from Romney, and soon put to
flight with the loss of some three or four killed on
our side, and some few prisoners, two pieces of
artillery and three baggage wagons. The enemy
also burnt a mill near by and several dwelling
houses, including Col. Blues, with his fine barn,
stabling, etc, and destroying all his personal pro-
perty and live stock The villains also shot poor
old shoemaker in his house and burnt it over bis
head. The old man was in no way connected with
| the army.
| I forgotto mention that Gen. Jackson had cap
] tured two pieces of artillery and some thirty OF
! forty thousand dollars worth Of military stores.
| Among Gen. J.'s wounded was Capt Alexander
| of the Arkansas regiment who lost an arm.
