Twenty YEARS YoUNaBR.-To say
that hundresd Of maids, wives, and wild
ows look twenty years younger than shey
are in consequence of the complexional
gfeshness derives sFSn2 the use of Ha.,
gan's Ma agpolia salq simply to ,alSfs &
abs9ihts acs, s'Sich might be pfompsl
verified by direct testimony If ladies'
were as willingrto tell their ages as to
use the best means Of making themselves
lovely. Nature sometimes, but very
rarely, crown the charm OF perfect fca
lures with complexion of exquisite
clearness; but oven then tiuie soon bcgins
to make inroads upon the We lvet cheeks,
the fair white brow, the ivory bust, the
rounded arm, To preserve the "glory Of
woman" unblemished, even after the me-
rdial of life has hoep passed, it is only
necessary to use daily this cooling health
ful vegetable Precipitation.

The Temps has despatch stating that col

Bilboa was attacked and driven by the insur-

descriptions of the affair at Oroquieta show
the official accounts greatly exaggerated its i'm

Zoo men, was engaged, and the prisoners TAX

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.

MEDICAL INHALATION for the cure of Con-
sumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, Hem
orrhage and all affections of the Lungs. In
halation-This is a subject which is at the pres
ent time exciting almost universal attention.
and as rational and scientific mode of treat
ment of pulmonary diseases stands unquestion-
ably first and foremost among the discoveries
in medicine of the present century. In CHM
ate like ours, where chronic pulmonary dis
eases are so prevalent and so universally fatal,
and where, too, profound conviction of the
uselessness and inefficiency of all the ordinary
means employed by the profession based on
the painful and melancholy experience of the
past, pervades all classes of the community.
This interesting discovery in medicine cannot
but be hailed with the liveliest emotions and
heartiest welcome by every high minded, gener-
GUS hearted and intelligent practitioner in the

greater part of those from New Jersey and
Pennsylvania; several from Ohio and Indiana;
the entire delegation from Illinois and Michi-
gan; part of those from Missouri; all from Min
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon, California,
Kentucky and Tennessee and all the remainder
of the South except portion of those of Geor-
gia. He thinks that more than three-fourths
of the Convention will 60 to Baltimore intend
ing to endorse the Cincinnati movement, though
he expects this course will be warmly opposed
by delegates from Ohio, Illinois and Georgia,
