ton for producing Coughs, Colds, and kindred
ailments-much worse than severe cold weather,
and we advise our readers, particularly those
predisposed to any pulmonary weakness, to see
to it that they are well shod, and allow change
in clothing. If any one is so unfortunate as to
contract Cold Cough, Hosrseness, or other
pulmonary disorder, we know of nothing go eff
flcient as Goes Cough Balsam. Our advice is,
take little and often. .. s.

THE GREAT FEMALE REMKDy FOR IRRRaULARI-
THIS.
These Drops are a scientifically compounded
fluid preparation, and better than any Pills,
Powders or Nostrums. Beng liquid, their &C
ton is direct and positive, rendering them a re-
liable, speedy and certain pecifc for the cure of
all distractions and suppressions of nature
Their popularity is indicated by the fact that
over 100000 bottles are annually sold and con-
sumed by the ladies of the United States, every
one of whom speak in the strongest terms of
praise of their great merits. They are rapidly
taking the place OF every other Female Remedy,
and are considered by all who know aught of
them, as the surest, safest, and most infallible
preparation in the world, for the cure OF all fe-
male complaints, the removal of all distractions
OF nature, and the promotion of health, resu-
larity aud strength. Explicit directions stating
when they may be used, and explaining when
and why they should not, nor could not be used
without producing effects contrary to natures
chosen laws will be found carefully folded
around each bottle, with the written signature of
John L. Ly on, without which none are genuine.

well earned the title of the "honest and
upright Patent Solicitor" now uni
versally given him. Possessing more
years of experience in his profession
and having procured more patents than
any other solicitor now living, he is
eminently qualified to aid those who
may desire to obtain patents, or to be
advised in respect to the laws in, rela-
ton to them. His powers af analysis
of mechanism, and his quick perception
of its novel characteristics are such,
that on the claims of specifications pre-
pared by him there is little or no chance
for an infringer to evade the patents
For thirty years or more he has devoted
his entire time and energies to perfect
himself in this department, and there is
no man equally competent to give ad-
vice to inventors touching the validity
OF claims and the patentability ofinven-
tions. In prosecuting claims denied
upon imperfectly prepared specifications,
he has been particularly successful, a
large part of his practice being appeals
in cases where patents have been re-
fused two and three times in conse-
ruence of ineXperience and incompe-
tencY in preparing papers. We conf

Ika,,o, RalanG Herald In a late is
sne Of your paper is piece from the
Courier on the subject OF fosr, wonder
ing why we should have TO pay So per
barrel more for -four than the price in
New York; also stating that -four
ought to be inspected and branded with
Nos. ], 2 and 8, according TO quality.
was glad 10 see that piece, and l
would like to carry the subject a little
further, and ask why 1t is that when we
buy -four for the very best quality we
are so liable to get poor article 2 Some
of us that have been made to suffer
know that modern brand is not to DC
depended on as an indicator of the quail
ity of -four We have learned the fact
that dealers purchase large quantities
OF -four and re,brand IT, such as Julian
Mills" "Gen, Grant Mills" sc, when no
such mills exist. Now, ] would like to
ask, why is this
Is it not simply to deceive--to make
people believe it is better than II really
is? The writer OF this has recently
gone through quite an experience in this
matter, having bought -four with such
a brand, supposing it to be the very best
quality Of pastry -four, (having had
some OF the same brand before that was
really so,) but on trial it proved to be a
very poor article, so very poor that he
returned it, and did the same with tosa'
barrels in succession. The fifth proved
q shade better; and ne being tired Of
earting -four back and forth, over mud
and frozen bubbles, concluded to keep
1t and work it up as best he could but
that is really poor -four. If any one
supposes that he will be very apt to be
again deceived by that brand Of -four,
cues, he is mistaken.
l look upon the KS in the same light.
We see !, 2, 3, in fact any number OF
KS upon the heads Of -four barrels, and
for no other purpose than to deceive, t0
make the people believe the -four to be
of superior quality, when we all know
the KS have nothing to do with quail
ity, as it is just as easy to put them on
one barrel as another.
We have a law directing how -four
shall be put up and branded, and max
ing it an offense to sell, or offer to sell,
-four without such brand, punishable
by fine of five dollars for every barrel
so sold or offered to be sold. Why will
dealers disregard this law? The law
requires every barrel to be inspected and
marked with the inspectors name, and
the quality to be indicated as superfne
No. !, No. 2, or otherwise, as to quality ;
also the weight, each barrel to contain
I96 lbs. of -four. If this is a good law,
why not have it lived up to? If a bad
one, then say repeal it.
What I want to see is an honest mil
ler's name upon the barrel. If good
miller makes good -four he knows it and
does not guess, and If he means to keep
his reputation as reliable man, he will
brand every barrel truly, with no x
