the physicians oil slid was spasmOdio stric-
ture In tiie uretha, as also inflammation Of the

son who had long been suffering as had been.
l went right on and got some OF e~ach-yOmr
Sarsaparillian Resolvent, Ready Relief, and

IL Is gratifying to us TO inform the public
That Dr.. Il. q. y. Wishart's Pine Tree Tar
Cordial, for Throat and Lung Diseases, has
gained I'm e~nylails reputation from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast, and from thence to
some OF the first families of Europe, not thro'
the press alone, but by persons throughout the
states actually benefited and cured at his
oiice. While he publishes less. SO say ourre-
porters, he ~ unable to supply the demand. 1t
gains and holds its reputation
First. Not by stopping cough, but by l0os-
ening and assisting nature TO throw or the
unhealthy matter collected about the throat
and bronchial tubes, Sohich causes irritation.
Second. II removes the cause of irritation
(Which produces cough of the mucous mem
brane and bronchial tubes, assists the lungs
TO ctanl throw or the unhealthy secretions,
and puriiles tho blood. .g
Third. 1t is free from squills, lobelia ,dpecac
and Opium, Of which most throat aud lung
remedies are composed, which allay cough
only, and ~disorganize the stomach. II has a
soothing effect on the stomach, acts ON the
liver and kidneys, and lymphatic and nervous
regions, tevs reacding to every part Of the
system, and in its invigorating and purifying
effects II has gained q reputation which It
must hold above all others I'm the market. j..

Asmany persons discredited their extraor-
binary power, from the fact OF their disap-
pointment in the use of other advertised RENE
dies-and some believed it impossible for
simple medicines made only from vegetable
substances-FOots, herbs, &c.-should possess
such marvellous power. Yet they can readily
comprehend that the simple grasses of the
field, after undergoing the chemical process OF
distllation designed by nature in the COW and
churn, furnishes us with butter-certainly the
most abundant fat, caloric or Matchmaking
bone, tissue, muscle, sinew and bl9od=making
constituents for the human body,
But when those people who first doubt the
efficacy OF these remedies comMepce their use,
they become their most earnest advocates.

Famous Trees.

Individual trees, planted by famous
men, are still to be seen by the pilgrims
who visit their homes and haunts. In
the last century there was quite fash
ion for planting willows. 1t is said
that the first weeping willow seen in
England was sent to the poet Pope, as
a present, from Turkey, by his friend,
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and
planted by him in bis garden at L wick
enham. It is the famous .Salir Baby
ionica of the Psalter, upon which, on
the banks of the Euphrates, the weep
ing daughters of Jerusalem hung their
harps. Garrick planted two willows on
his lawn, beside his Shakespeare tenn
pie in the midst of thunder storm,
which destroyed one of them, the pious
and devoted widow of the great actor
was seen running up and down ex-
citedly, crying out, "Oh, my Garrick !
Oh, my Garrick !" The willow, known
as Dr. Johnson's willow, at Litchfeld,
was blown down long ago it was said,
in the Gardeners Magazine, to have
been planted by him, but it is more
probable that his admiration and talk
of it developed the legend of his plant
ing it. At the time of its destruction
it was thirteen feet in girth. Pieces of
household furniture and snuff-boxes
were made of it; and slips from it were
planted by his admirers throughout the
neighboring country an offshoot of the
old tree was planted on the same site.
Thomas Moore tells US that when Byron
first went to Newstead Abbey, from
Aberdeen, at the ege of ten, he planted
a young oak in some part ef the
grounds. He had notion (or thought
he had) that as it fourished SO should
he. Six or seven years later, on revisit
ing the spot, he found his oak choked
up with weeds and almost dead.
