Their food through the winter was mead

These calves / am assured have not had

10000 DOLLARS REWARD

T is estimated that 100000 persons die annu-
4 ally in the United States, with consumption,
and Professor Ebcrly says, that vast number
Of these could be saved by the timely use of
some proper remedy.
DIR. HALLS BALSAM strikes at the root OF
the disease AT ONCE, and such is its speedy eff
feet that any one using it freely, according to
directions, for twenty four or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn it and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved by a
single dose, and broken up in q few hours time.
The afflicted do not have to take bottle after bot
tie before they find whether this remedy will
afford relief or not.
u Call on the agent and get a pamphlet gra-
It's.
II has effected cures in numerous cases, where
the most sllilltul physicians in this country and
in Europe have been employed, and have eXer-
clsed their skill in VAIN. Cases which they pro-
nOunced iacUra6le and surrendered as hopeless
beyond q doubt, leaving the patients without Il
single ray to cnliVen them in their gloom, have
been cured by DIR. HALLS HsAEsAHE,
and the "yictims OF consumption" are now Wig
Orous and strong as the most robust among u.s.
And these cases are not isolated ones they are
numerous, and can be pointed out in every COM
muuity, where this most unryaled remedy has
been tested.
Be slow, then, to believe the oft repeated story
about the lungs being gone; or rather let no
such apprehension lnduce you 10 give up. -dI
upon the principle that 10j,ie there Is life there IS
hope. You can NEVER BE so Low that you may
not trust, humanity speaking, in HALLS BAL
SAM. More than one, nay hundreds, has it
brought almost from death to life when all else
had failed. Give, then, this powerful but harm
less remedy trial.
The public have been imposed upon by RENE
dies recommended by certificates which have
always originated from some unknown source.
We believe that a medicine possessing real mer-
its will effect cures wherever it is used, at home
as well as abroad. This is no paregore prepar-
alton, but which, if used in season, will save
the lives of thousands.

says:
As | intimated in my last, We have
sailed down here in the expectation of a
month or two more of inactivity. The
strike among the engineers At the North

Monitors and deprived our iron clad fee.
OF reintorcements which we're expected
here more than month ago, has been
the powerful cause OF the delay, and the
disaster to the Weexawken and the CON-
ing of the winter season, with its constant
storms, has still further enforced this de-
lay.
Two months hence spring will be ad-
vsBced here, and with our iron clad force
strengthened by three or four new Mont
tors We will be prepared to take advan-
tage OF the most healthful and pleasant
part Of the season.
