tirely relied upon. Go to him,
/ and not suffer that horrible disease
to remain in your system, disfgur-
ing your face and body, besides
'on v'Ts hE destroying your happiness and fu-
ture prospects of life. He has made Private Dis
eases and Nervous Debility his study for the past
twenty years, and is therefore the person whom
all afflicted should consult. Ne one ever heard
of patient of his not being cured since he has
been in this city. His reputation has vouchers in
all the city papers, his patients and the medical
profession, both here and abroad, as being the
most skilled specialist here, and a thorough mas
ter of all sexuaf>dseases. If all others fail, don
despair, give him q cell. 1t is only q common oe-
currence with him to cure such cases. His rooms
are separate for ladies and gentlemen, and the
most complete in the city. .-
You've MIN, TAKE PARTICULARS Nor1cE.-Dr.
Bigelow devotes much of his time to the treat
ment of those cases caused by a secret habit,
which ruins both body and mind, uniting the
unfortunate individual for either business socie-
ty The sad effect of these early habits, of the
excess of ripper years, is to weaken and debilitate
the constitution, destroy the physical and mental
powers, diminish and enfeebfe the natural feel
ings. and exhaust the mental energies OF man
hood; the pleasures of life are marred, the object
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself
rendered a term of unceasing misery and regret.
Such persons, especially those contemplating mar
rage, should lose time in making immediate
applications, as DR.. B., by his new treatment, is
enabled to insure speedy and permanent cure.

LYONS PERIODICAL DROPS.
THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY
FOR IRREGULARITIES.

I 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 powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in cases of female irregularity, rs
does this medicine. In all recent cases it never
fails, while thousands who have been long suffer
ers 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 emf
nent physicians in France and England, as well
rs in my own practice, over ten yeais, and have
vet TO hear of the first instance of failure.
LADIES' all over the northern and -tmses
were they not in their nature private. Over 100,
600 bottles have been sold the past year, and
hope and trust many sufferers have been bene-
fitted. / am well aware teat a remedy so potent
to remove all obstructons, may be used for a bad
purpose, but trust that where one bottle is TINS
used, ten may fallinto the hands of really needy
sufferers.
To all who suffer from any irregularity; pain
full, difficult, excessive, offensive or obstructed

IN usly adopted;
WHEREAS, Ii has pleased mysterious
Prov dence 10 remove suddenly from US
Mr., George w. McCarn, the first Presi-
dent Of the Company, aud as we deem II
proper in view OF his official position and
influence, and his social relation with us
(the members ofthis body that we should
pay Just tribute TO his memory by official
aud public expression, to be perpetuated
upon our records, of the estimation in
which he was held aud Of the feelings
with which this melancholy event has
affected US therefore,
Resolped, That it is with great and
unaffected sorrow that we have TO
record the death Of our late President,
for he was equally esteemed in official
positions and endeared in social rea-
tons. He was leading spirit in the
formation Of the Company, and under
the impress of his genius, it has grown in
so short period, in the face Of all the
endorsements of the times, into its
present gratifying position amongst Life
Insurance Companies. He was, in his
nature, a devoted man, and our Com
pany was great object of his devotion.
A rare and happy combination Of traits
formed his character. In his bearing
there was an equability of temper
uniform, quiet gentleness.-a delicacy and
urbanity, indicating a kind and lovely
spirit which sweetly attracted all
who fell into much personal intercourse
with him, whilst be was truly of self
reliant, firm and resolute spirit, full OF
bold enterprise and unwearied diligence
and perseverance His high integrity,
his energy and constancy in business,
we're our esteem and confidence; his
unselfsb, genial and afable spirit, won
our affections. During his brief resi-.
dence amongst us, he was quietly and
uHobtrusively, hut surely and steadily,
advancing to an enviabe position in the
public esteem, and of public usefulness,
when he was suddenly taken off in a
brief illness, in the prime Of life and
manhood.
ReSolced, That to the family Of the
deceased we tender our heartfelt sympa.
thy and coincidence in the loss of one so
dear to them and to us; and that the
Secretary present to them a copy Of these
resolutions.
Resolced, That the Secretary furnish
the newspapers of the city with a copy Of
these resolutions for publication.
