have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and do not hesitate to say, that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts SO powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in cases of female irregulsrity, as
does this medicine. In all recent cases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer
err are indebted to it for the boon of health To-
day. .-----
Although so powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may be used at all times,
except when specially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by emil
nent physicians in France and England, as well
as in my own practice, over ten yeafs, and have
yet to hear Of the FIRST instance Of failure. I
could give you testimonials of their efficacy from
ladies all over the northern and western states,
were they not in their nature private. Over l00,-
900 bottles have been sold the past year, and l

fitted. am well aware teat a remedy so potent

purpose, but trust that whore one bottle is TINS

price of paper remains about the same all

AN IRREPREssIBLE DUTcHMAN.-Phillp
Schneider, a sort of halfcrazy, excitable
body, who gets fighting drunk. on al paoic
occasions, attended the German theatre, last
evening. Philip was uncommonly dry and
found it necessary to run down 10 PM
Helms, or Vests or Hermann's every hve
minutes to get drink. He soon got steam
up to shouting pitch and became so noisy
that he was put out of Vests. He was gio-
riously drunk and had the whole street to
himself where he gave specimens oforatory,
vocal music, gymnastics, etcetera, until Po-
rceman McConkie marched him down to
Jail and locked him up for the night. This
morning, after little persuasion by Esq.
Sweeney, he concluded to add $40, to the
city treasury, and pay the usual compliment
tary fees to the police magistrate, the jailor,
the policemen and the witnesses. This was
liberal, on the part of Philip, and the police
men will invite him to repeat The dose as
soon as he gets on another spree.
