WHY ARE WE SICK

If the people would exercise little caution,
combined with judgment, there would be far less
sickness among us. There is no disease either
simple or malignant, malarous or otherwise, but
gives due warning of its approach; and if, when
these signs are exhibited, RAILWAYS READY
RELIEF is freely administered, the threatened
disease will be successfully repulsed. If seized
with Head Ache, Cold Chills, Nausea at Stomach,
Pain in the Bowels, Dryness in the Mouth Fever
ishness, Pain in the Joints Back, along the Spine.
Legs, &C., if RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is
used, these symptoms will quickly disappear, and
a serious illness prevented There is no occasion
for the prvalence of Yellow Fever, Typhoid Fever,
Ague, Puenomna, Bilious Fever, Cholera, Small.
Pox, Scarlet Fever &C., for these diseases give
fair warning of their approach, and if on the first
indication of pain, discomfort, or uneasiness,
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is used, the sys-
tenn will be so charged with the electric power of
health, as to successfully resist their attacks DO
not s0ait until the disease becomes entrenched
within your system before resorting to Medication.
This delay may prove fatal. If on all occasions
when pain is experienced RAILWAYS READY
RELIEF is used, no serious illness will occur
RAILWAYS READY RELIEF is A PRE-

VICTORIA;

BY COUSIN MAY CARLETON,
Author of ''Gipsy Cover" ''SybiI Campbell,
Ell minie," La Masque," &C., &c.


The productions of this distinguished authoress
need no eulogy. Public opinion has long since
pronounced them superior to any other novelties
published on this side of the Atlantic; and the
true test of their merit is found in the fact that
they eagerly reproduced, after their publica-
ton in the Mercury, by the English Press. We
may add that the new tale, VICTORIA" is fully
equal in interest and depth opot to either of those
which have secured so large share of public ap-
proval. and we can earnestly recommend it to all
story-readers

WINE (! =!

From the earliest ages wine has been known and
esteemed one of the choicest productions of the
earth. 1t is rendered proverbial in Scripture In
the present age good wine is not only valued
luxury but there are several kinds which are held
in high estimation by the medical profession, and
form valuable commodity in every good dispen-
sary. In Europe there upwards Of fifty differ
ent kinds of wine, obtained from many different
kinds of grapes. But it has remained for modern
science and skill to produce luxurious ond de-
lightful wine from medical plants and roots. The
object has been fully accomplished in article
called Dr. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From a
formula of roots, plants etc., of the highest medi-
cal order, is here reduced a pure wine equal if
not SUPERIOR in flavor to any imported, at the
time retaining all the virtues of one of the best
medical formulas ever known,
No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on
account of disagreeable taste, and none can take it
without being convinced of its great value as a
medical agent. From own experience we can
vouch for the excellence of this wine and we trust
that every one, whose health is in the least i'm
paired will read DR.. Halseys advertisement,
which will be found in our columns to-day, and
avail themselves of the remedy.

READER, Stop AND THlNK.-We
suppose the most of our readers buy and use d.
B. DeLand & Co.'S Chemical SalerGtus, but if there
any of you who do not, just stop and think
that impure saleratus is very detrimental to the
health of yourself and family. while the Chemical
Saleratus is as pure as snow and is therefore per-
fectly healthy. 1t is manufactured at Fairport,
Monroe county, N. Y, and for sale by most mer
chants and grocers in the country.

The N. Y. Mercury
FOR THE NEW YEAR

TITS WITH NO FEAR of Wars effect upon their
literary fortunes, that the publishers of the N.
I. Mercury acknowledge the unwavering LOYALTY
OF their tac0 hundred thousand subscribers, and an
nounce to them, and to all, that the Neso York
Mercury for this year Qs63) will be richer in every
luxury of Polite Literature than ever before. 1t
is no upstart speculation, no temporary "sensa-
ton, but a hrst-class literary weekly, which has
been familiar to the United States for a quarter of
a century; and while the wishy -washy mushroom
prints OF yesterday are cutting down their talent
even while they raise their subscription price, the
AeO York Mercury maintains all its great Staff of
komancers, Poets, Humorists, Essayists, Story
lellers, and Editors, and promises to make it still
greater for 1868.
1t is the one paper for every hcme Its forty
columns OF reading matter per week constitute an
unparalleled
Conservatory Of the Eatrtaining,
And its Novels, Miscellaneous Tales, Beauties of
Verse, Gossip. Feuilletons, Broadsdes of Humor,
and Polished Editorials, combine to epitomize all
the charms of
WIT AND SENTIMENT
The husband reads it to his wife, and the mother
to her children, the lover to his sweetheart the
soldier to his comrades, and the village school
master to the circle around the stove. 1t is fam-
lar TO the sight of every man, woman and child in
our country, and has regular subscribers in seye-
raj countries of Europe The Nee0 York Mercury
is also identified with the grandest patriotism of
the age, for several members of its brilliant Staff
hold high rank in our noble army, and have made
themselves famous with the Sword as with the
Pen. The great illustrating artist of the Neu
York Mercury, the inimitable BARLEY, gives the
paper the highest attributes of the Fine Art; and
yet this largest literary weekly of the day promises
to surpass itself in all these respects during the

THIS well-known and popular Journal is note

of telling the TRUTH regardless of the offence that

The principles and objects which the CHICAGO

The CAUSE OF FREEDOM,
JUSTICE AND HUMANITY,
PERPErU1rY OF THE UNION.
OBEDIENcE TO THE CONSTITUTION

A DENIAL OF THE RIGHT OF A
REBEL TO HOLD ANY LOYAL

AFFIRMANCE THAT REBELS HAVE
No RIGHTs UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION, UNTIL

And the prosecution of the war against Treason
until the authority of the Government is restored
over the whole Union. There must be no falter-
lng-no steps backwards. Failure now will entail
dishonor and misery, rendering insecure life and
property, and leaving the country prey to anar-
cby, rapne and bloodshed. We have strong faith
that the year 1858 will witness the termination of
the Rebel Confederacy, and that New-Years sun
of "a will rise monstrous rebellion PROSTATE
in death, over Union reunited and saved, over
Continent without slave.
