Southern Tonic.

A fter several years of successful trial,
IA both in this city and the country, at
the request of a number of persons who
have been benefited by its use, we have con-
Guided to present to the public a
"SOUTHERN TONIC"
and trust that they may not regard it as a
quack medicine.
Before yenturing to give publicity to this
Tonic, the recipe was shown to several of
the most eminent physicians of this city,
and was pronounced by them an excellent
Tonic
The recipe viii be shown to any respecta-
BILE physician who may desire to see it
Unlike the many remedies that are offered
to the public, this Tonic does not cure every
disease. All it claims is its wonderful power
of restoring the functions to their natural
condition after having been embarrassed by
disease.
Were it necessary, certificate after certifi-
cate could be appended to this from well
known citizens, but we deem it useless

AMERICAN PIANOS IN EURoPE.-The attention
and trlumphs which wait upon musical artstes IN
Europe, the careers OF Patti, Kellogg, Phillips, and
Others, sufficiently show; and II is with equal plea.
sure TO be noted that the reception of our musical
lnstrumt nls, that obtain such prestige here Is even
heightened over the water, where, though there are
performers OF unequaed regulations stll the manu-
featuring facilities OF first class pianos do not exist
on such q scale among ourselves.
The distinguishing points OF American pianos, as
compared with those turned out of European estab-
hshments aTe:-A finer balance and Rradation of
sound, as well peculiar obedience to the very
softest touch demands of the performer. Then the
"singing power" zoe humana, of the instruments
is said to be far beyond whether in dellcacY,
sh make. Particularly the massvlty and prolonRa-
tion OF sound that make our "grand" pianos neces
sity for ali superior concerts and vocasts receive
Unexcepted and highest praise. The M ssrs Chlcke
ring, IN another column, quote the affirmative tes
timony Of The most distinguished performers, both
IN EnglaI and across the Channel in favor OF the
pianos made by them, which have taken such an
unTival ed hold in the estimation of musicians here
IL seems IL at Mr.. James Nj Wehl conducted his
splendid series of concerts in Europe entirely with
the Chckering "Grand Square and Upright Pia
nos, and the praise of such celebrities as Coard
Chapel, and Arabella Goddard, of London, with
Halle, Bale, Plaidy, Remecke Y. Won Arnold,
Moschees, Favarger, and numerous Others, equally
DISTINGUISHED, is given in the warmest, yet most
critical terms. The attention of composers and per
formers to these interesting and agreeing tributes
OF commentator Is invited, and they will be found
al large elsewhere.
