GOLD ACTIVE AND STRONG.
The tirmer tone OF the foreign exchanges rendered
the gold market strong In earlier transactions. The
report that Secretary Boutwell, had made speech
to but no impression upon) the Ways and
Means Committee Of the House IN favor
Of the Funding bill rendered the market
active, and gold advanced to 112x. Here
came the story, next IN turn, that Mr.. Boutwell, un-
successful with the committee, had gone before the
House and was working most zealously for the BILL
and moreover for the bill with i.s original features
OF foreign agencies. On this announcement gold re-
acted to 112K. The undertone Of the market s tenn

Cure Of Catarrh and
Asthma.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

In August last year my wife came to
Drs. Lighthill d Smyth, laboring under a
severe form of Catarrh and Asthma,
which had troubled her for the last six
years, causing her to cough night and day
constantly. She had all the appearance
of person in the last stages of consump-
ton, and indeed had many symptoms of
that dread complaint, such as extreme
debility, night sweats, raising of matter,
etc. She was affected so very badly that
some of the best physicians had pro-
nounced her in consumption. l placed
her under Drs. Lighthill d Smyth's cure,
and the result after six months careful
treatment is an entire cure. Not only did
all the symptoms Of Catarrh and Asthma
disappear, but she gained in strength, her
cough left her, and now she is as well as
any one need wish to be. 1t is with
pleasure and gratitude | recommend Drs.
Lighthill e. Smyth to those suffering
with similar complaints, as thoroughly
skillful physicians.

ScrOfuIa.

In constitutions where taints of this
disease are discovered, a rational course
Of treatment should at once be adopted to
remove it, If proper course of tire; t.
ment be pursued cure can generally De
effected, and in some obstinate hereditary
cases, very greatimprovement can be mace,
the disease can be held in allegiance and
the patient made to enjoy comfortable
health and frequently life can be con-
tinued to a good old age. But if it has
been allowed to run its course unchecked.
the constitution soon will De undermined
and some Of those fearful forms, like con-
sumption, white swelling, cancer &C., will
make their appearance, then all that can
be done is to smooth the way down to the
grave. We urge parents TO study and
ascertain the condition Of their little
ones, and lose no time in the use Of
those means which an experienced and
skiilfull physician can give.

Skin Diseases.

These are mich more troublesome than
dangerous. The annoyance which they give
by night and day constitute their chief
Importance, although some Of them lay the
foundation for other dangerous diseases.
For instance, mere pimple may develope
itself into "A malignant pustule, and thus
become fatal. A slight eruption may be-
come cancerous and thus destroy life.
When we consider that five eighths of
all we eat and drink find an exit from
the body through the skin, we may con-
ceive what mischief will follow when
The functions of digestion be impaired,
all the other organs of the body are at
once seriously disturbed in case Of failure
of the skin to perform its proper function,
hence the importance to attend to even
the slightest diseases of that organ.

Cure Of Blindness.
From Jason B. THOMAS, NJ. D,

THoRNDiKE, Mass, Jan. /, 1868.
Attracted by Drs. Lighthill & Smyth's
reputation, | recommended to him seve-
raj years ago, a certain Mrs. A. p Hol-
den of our village, who bad been blind
with cdtaract for years, and had been
operated upon by several oculists of note
without any benefit. Not discouraged by
these facts DR.. Lighthill operated upon
her, and much to the Surprise of all her
friends restored her to perfect sight, which
has continued GOOD ever since.
The remarkable success which he had
in the above mentioned case, and others
which cane under my notice, induced me
to place under his charge my mother-in-
law, Mrs. Mandcll, of Hardwick, Mass,
who had been blind for the past two years,
and it affords me great pleasure and salts
faction to report her complete restoration
of sight. | am certain the public will be
benefited by recommending Drs. Lighthill
and Smyth to all who may require the
services of skilful and reliable Opthalmic
Surgeons.

Liver Complaint.

This affection manifests itself by more or
less pain in the right SIDE in the region
of the short ribs, and also under the
shoulder blades. The countenance sullen,
tongue coated, constipated or relaxed
bowels, appetite capricious, sometimes
ravenous and then wanting, bitter taste
in the mouth mornings, lassitude, a feel
ing of drowsiness when sitting down, often
great depression of both mind and body,
headaches, fatulence, heartburn, clay
colored stools, urine scanty and high
colored, or profuse and colorless, &c. No
time should be lost in consulting Compel
ent medical advice when the above symp-
toms make their appearance.

CHRONIC DISEASES.

Drs. Lighthill & Smyth have for years
paid exclusive attention to the cure of
these diseases, and have been successful,
in restoring to health, patients who for
years have suffered from chronic ailments
and who have applied to other Physicians
without obtaining any relief.
Their treatment is reduced to such a
state of simplicity and perfection that
after the first examination, the remedies
can be applied at home, without pain or
interruption to their several avocations.
On the first exam nation, they can tell
whether a cure can b. effected or not, and
under no consideration will they accept It
case for treatment uiless there is reason
able chance Of success.

Eeart Diseases.

As the heart is the centre of the circu-
lating system and regarded by many as
the very seat of life, and when in diseased
state, death takes hold of the patient
often without the slightest warning any
thing which disturbs its functions, no
matter how slight the symptoms may APP
pear, should at once receive the serious
attention of the patient.
An experienced Physician will at once
detect the seat and nature of the disease
and in nine cases out OF ten be enabled to
avert the danger and restore the sufferer
to health.

Kidney Diseases.

The Kidneys are subject to a great
variety of diseases, the most dangerous of
which is "Bright's disease" arc a loss and
abstraction of the kidneys themselves; the
early indication of this disease is gen.
eral weakness Of the system, tired feel
ing, sometimes amounting to exhaustion /;
impairment of the mental faculties, such
as loss Of memory &C., dizziness, dropsi-
cal affections, pain in the back and loins,
headache and general downheartedness
and respondent feeling.
By an early application of proper med
ical means a cure can generally be affected.

While ut the salt water, in the year

my family physician but although he
did all he could for me, yet my cold be-
came Chronic Catarrh, with impairment

completely, and suffered with all the other
disagreeable and dangerous symptoms
common to Catarrh.
| consulted several physicians, but OBJ
tanned no relief When | thought of call
ing on Drs. Lighthll & Smyth my friends
laughed at the idea of my trying again to
get help; having been SO repeatedly dis
appointed, they had no faith in any doc
tor but nevertheless l placed myself
under Drs. Lighthil 4 Smyths care, and
in three months began to taste salt wa
ter again, which was soon followed by
complete restoration of my taste, smell
and hearing, and my Catarrh, with all its
troublesome symptoms, entirely disap-
peared.
Drs. Lighthill & Smyth have done so
much for me that l feel it my duty to ac-
quaint the public with it, in hopes that
those suffering as | did, will aval! them

nest and excellent physicians as they are.

piles.

These are two kinds, the external and
internal, they are small tumors situated in
the lower part of the bowels. These
tumors are a source of great pain and an
noyance and sometimes become dangerous
to life by frequent and excessive hemorrh-
ages, unless competent medical treatment
is used, the system becomes essentially
weakened and life shortened.
