Who is Miss SOaCyes. !?

Miss Sawyer lives in the city Rockland Knox
County, Maine. She has devoted the best wears of
her life to nursing the sick, and has had more ex-
perience in the of obstinate diseases old Sores
and Ulcers and has also been consulted in more
cases of accidents such asuns, Scalds and Bruises
than any other person in New England. professional
or otherwise. She has competed successfully with
the most able physicians in the States, as well as
with nurses and Indian doctors. From time to
time she has compounded remedies for the use in
certain diseases in her own practice. Among other
compounds she has for many years made Salve
which soon obtained an extensive Sale, and is
how in great demand abroad as well as in pri-
vate families and among the hundreds of men engag-
ed at Rockland and vicinity in the hazardous BUSH
ness of quarrying rock and burning lime, and also
among the seamen along the coast OF Maine So pop
ular did it become that while it was only put up in
old mustard boxes, without labels or the help of adj
yertisements, Miss Sawyer received orders for it
from nearly or quite every State in the Union The
demand finally became extensive that she was I'M
able to meet it and she made an arrangement with
L.. M. ROBBINS, druggist of Rockland to take
charge of the business and supply the trade The
agent is well satisfied with the merits OF the Med
1cine that he guarantees it to all diseases for
which it is recommended, and any one who gives it
trial according to directions and is not satisfied is
invited to return the box, with half the contents and
the money Will be refunded. Fun directions with
each box.

LOw.Neck Dresses.

A Paris CORES pondent writes: While
the police have just ordered the dresses
of the ddnSeuSes at the theatres to be
carried little lower, o society has just
been forred at Toulouse to force ladies
to have their evening dresses carried a
little higher. Some OF the articles OF
association, in the following style are
rather amusing: Whereas, ladies are
wearing their dresses mora and more
open, and as it is impossible to see to
what point fashion will cause them to
descend; and whereas, the habit of
wearing dresses which expose the
shoulders, the neck and arms, in al
their nakedness is heathan, anti OATH
olic, fatal to morals, &C., we have re-
solved to form society to auDihilate
this fatal CUSTOM" &c. A book will
always be open at the 70 5ms OF the So
ciety, which all ladies are invited to
sign, declaring as follows: II hereby
agree never again to wear low.neck
Dress" and a second Tor dressmaksrs
to sign, declaring that "the undersign-
ed, dressmaker, ETC., hereby binds
herself never again to assist in making
a robe decoaette The promoters of the
good work go on to say: 1--WE know
that many ladies and dressmakers will
resist us, but we shall know. then, how
to class them. Two classes will then
be in opposition. In the first class will
be the Christian, and in the second
category Pagan ladies and dressmakers,
as the case may be-" 1t seems that
fourteen ladies in Toulouse have al
ready signed. On examination, it ap-
pears that these fourteen ladies' are all
as lean as Lent, and the rest of the
town are amusing themselves at their
expens.
