RECOMMENDATIONS

Mr.. II. T. HELMBoLD:
Dear Sir:
Your communication respecting our terms for
advertising was duly received, but from prejudice
had formed against advertising cures for secret
diseases" it was left unanswered. During an ac-
cidental conversation in Drug Store the other
evening, my mind was changed on the character of
your BUcHU. 1t was then highly recommended
for other diseases by two physic ans present. In
closed please find our rates of advertising.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.-The San
Francisco Real Estate Circular calls the
attention of purchasers to the fact that
when man and wife are divorced, the
woman is entitled to receive a full half
interest in all of her late husbands real
estate, provided he was not divorced from
her for adultery on her part In such
case she receives nothing. If the hus-
band commits adultery, all of his real es-
tate becomes the property of his wife The
Call says it has heard of several cases
where divorced wife, who was not aware
that she had any interest in her husband 8
property, was approached by persons who
were posted in the law, They gave a
plausible excuse for wanting deed from
her, and obtained it for trife, and thus
secured half the husbands real estate.

The other day. while a workman was
tightening bolt on railroad bridge that
spans Bullock Pen Creek. in Kenton county,
Kentucky, he got his pantaloons screwed fast
with the last bolt. at distance OF eight feet
above the level of the bridge. At this juno
ture his wrench fell. No help being near
he had to slip off his boots and wriggle and
squrm out of his pants, succeeding in which
he got down, recovered the wrench, returned
to the top of the bridge, and released and
donned his pantaloons. A workman who
had observed him at distance, thinking
him crazy and about TO commit suicide, pro-
cured assistance, but the supposed lunatlc
was himself again before the help arrived.

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors,
whose names to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmiths, shoemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it, Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. DR..
Glbbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles certificates, pretended patients letters &C.
DR.. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.

THAT's How.-After great snow storm,

SPEAK KINDLY TO HIM.-A farmer once
saved very poor boy from drowning. After
his restoration he said to him:
What can do for you, my boy?"
''Speak kind word to me sometimes" !"
replied the boy as the tears rushed from his
eyes. Il aint got a mother like some of
them"
A kind word Think of it, That farmer
had it in his power to give that boy money,
clothes, playthings, but the poor fellow craved
nothing so much as kind word now and
then. If the farmer had ever SO little heart
the boy must certainly have had his wish
gratifed.
A kind tcordi You have many such spo
ken to you daily and you don't think much
of their value; but that poor boy in your
village, at whom every body laughs, would
think he had found treasure if some one
would speak a kind word to him Suppose
YOU speak it? The next time you meet him
instead of laughing at him, speak kindly to
him. Then watch him and see how he looks.
See if his eyes do not brighten, and his lips
smile.
Kind words They are blessed things.
Speak them, children every day. Scatter
them like sunbeams everywhere. They will
bless others, and then return to bless your
own hearts. Kind words forever
