1t is very easy to say of this any other medicine
sit is the very best Remedy known. 1t is not
always SO easy to prove it, Its, however, exceeding
ly gratifying to the Proprietor OF this edcine that,
while he declares to the public that this is most
wonderful and effective specific for Humors as stated
above, he has abundant proof at hand sustain his
statement.
( For sixteen years the HUMoR DOCTOR has been
manufactured and sold, and every year has increased
the value of its reputation, and the amount OF its
sales. In New Hampshire, where it originated, no
remedy for humors is so highly priced. An eminent
physician tnow an army surgeon) when practicing in
New Hampshire, purchased between fifty and sixty
gallons of it during some seven eight years, and
usedit in his practice He has since then ordered it
for the hospital where he stationed. Other ply
sicans have purcha sed and have used it in practice
with great success. When the proprietor lived in
New Hampshire. at Gohstown Centre, for the space
of thirty OF forty miles around and in Manchester
particularly the Humor Doctor was well known and
highly valued for the numerous and wonderful cures
which it effected. Though manufactured in large
quantities, the supply was frequently exhausted and
purchasers had to wait for to be made In that
region some very severe cases of Erysipelas were
treated th-and they were cured! Eryspelas sores,
Or cal buncles, those ugly, painful ulcers entire

From the New York Evening Gazettel
July.
Now sweet aud sunny June Is past,
It's many-tinted roses fade,
The wheat fields, waving ripe al LAST,
Stand ready for the reaper's blade.
July comes bounding DER the plain
With fiery robe and blazing crown;
Flowers. richeT-huel, adorn his train
Than with his sister June have flown.
The harvest apple with blush d..
Turns ripe; the golden nectarine,
Hinged with faint crimson streaks, and lush,
Amid its emerald leaves is seen.
The birds watch Ger their call0w young,
And fond, supply the needed food;
And when their vcsper song Is sung,
With lowering wings protect their brood.
The hot day warns the mellow earth,
The night sends down refreshing dews:
And thus, with every days new birth.
A fresher life and brighter hues.
Clothe plants and flowers, and more and more
Advance they towards their destined goal
Fostered by winds, and sun, and shower,
Where harvest waits to crown the whole
