When Christmas Is over there's pref
ty sure to be somebody sick. We hope
there will be nobody sick while 1t is
going on. But the Christmas pudding,
and the Christmas turkey, the Christ
mas pies and cakes, etc, ETC., are apt 10
be too much for the youngsters. and,
maybe, for the old folks. In such un-
pleasant event, we can recommend the
remedies Of our friends LOGAN d Col
Main street near Quincy; LOGAN, LIST
& Co.. Bridge Corner; ED. Booking,
corner 4th and Monroe; SILVRY & LIST,
opposite Post Office; THos. ]. FINNEY,
South end OF Stone Bridge. While we
can't recommend the drugs these gen.
tlemen dispense, as very agreeable stun
to give or take in holiday times, Tor any
other, they do have many elegant toilet
articles which make very appropriate
gifts. But II Is well 10 mention them
anyhow along with the grocers, for IL
| the latter make us sick the former can
make us we'll.
PRINTING.
And now lastly GARD most important
ly), we cannot think of more appro-
pirate and valuable Christmas gift than
years subscription to first class
family newspaper. You can't give one
that will be so long and frequently re-
membered. Every number will serve
as fresh reminder of the generous and
appreciative feeling which inspired the
gift. This being so, we feel at liberty
to recommend the WHEELING DAILY
or WEEKLY 1NTELLIGENCER as suita-
BILE medium for such friendly compli-
ments. And though 1t Is rather more
in the line OF business than OF the holt
days, We will add that any of our mer-
chants who want TO double their bust
ness next year may do SO (we'll guar
antee tho result) by doubling their
advertising enterprises In our columns;
and those who wish elegant and taste.
full job printing done at reasonable
rates. can be accommodated and pleas
ed by application at this Office.
We trust that all our friends and pat.
rons may each in his line reap an abun.
dant holiday harvest; that he may have
plenty OF customers, and that these may
have plenty OF money when they come
and but little when they go away.

TEE NEW YORK LEDGER
FOR 1868

The reason that the NEW YORK LED
GER has the largest circulation is that it is the
BEST PAPER. Why should it not have the
largest circulation? More labor, more talent,
more money, are Bestowed upon it than upon
any other paper. It's moral tone is always
pure and elevated. The rule on which the
LEDGER is conducted, is to get the best or
everything. The public recognize this fact;
and it is from their desire to obtain the very
best paper that they give the LEDGER the
preference; hence its unparalleled and unap-
preached circulation, being over three hum
bred thousand copies.
All our present corps of popular and emf
nent authors will continue to write for the
LEDGER; we begin the new year with a new
story by Mrs. Southworth; the Hon. Horace
Greedy will continue his Autobiography Fan
ny Fern her sparkling sketches; John G.
SAKE his humorous poems; Sylvanus Cobb,
Jr., his entertaining Stories Professor VIII
liam Henry Peck his stirring NnveIettrs 3; Hem
ry Ward Beechcr his original Papers; James
Parton his Instructive Biographical Sketches
Miss Dupuy her Dramatic Narratives; Mary

A CURE FOR CANCER.-The following
remedy for this fearful afhiction, has beer
used with success in the case of a gen.
tleman in a Western city
.a A piece of sticking plaster was put
over the carSeer, with a circular piece cut
ont Of the center q little larger than the
cancer, SO that the cancer had a small
circular rim of healthy skin next to it
exposed. Then a plaster made of chic
ride of zinc, blood root and wheat -four
was spread on a piece Of muslin the size
of the circular opening, and applied to
the cancer for "a hours. On removing
it, the cancer will be found burnt into
and appear of the color and hardness of
an old shoe sole, and the circular rim
outside OF it will appear white and par
boiled, as if scalded by hot steam. The
wound is now dressed, and the outside
rim DOL separates, and the cancer comes
out in a hard lump, and the place heals
up. The plaster kills the cancer, 50 that
it sloughs out like dead flesh, and never
grows in again. The remedy was dis.
covered by Dr.. Fell, of London, and has
been used by him for six or eight years,
with unfalliug success, and not a case
has been known of the temperance of
the cancer when this remedy has been
applied.
