II. @. Parrell's Arabian Imminent.

This celebrated medicine, skilfully composed as
IL ls OF the most healing balsams and penetrating
oils, can never fail to cure almost every afIiiction
that could be alleviated by external remedy Its
superiority over all other LinimentS is proven by
the miraculous cures 1t performs, and by the great
ana constantly increasing demand. Thore has been
SOLD within the past year more than THREE MILLION
who do not bestow upon it the highest praise for
the rare virtues it possesses. Nothing, perhaps,
since the creation of the world has been success
fu as an external remedy for all nervous diseases,
as this wonderful curative When applied, il in
simultaneously diffues itself through the whole sys-
tenn, soothing the rrtated nerves, alayng the most
Intense pains, and creating most delightful SEN
sat1on. Read the following remarkable cure, which
can be attested to by hundreds, who were fully &C
quRinted with the whole circumstance.
CHRONIC ENLARGEMENT OF THE TONSILS
My daughter, when six months old, was taken
with swelling in the tonsilS, which grew larger
and larger, til when sixayears old she had great
difficulty in swallowing her food. Every night
watch was kept, fearing she would suffocate. The
best doctors attended her but could give no relief
took her to the most eminent doctors in the East
they said there was no help for her but to outgrow
II. With sad heart l returned home with her,
when she became so much worse that the doctors
had to be called in again: they decided that the
tonsils must be cut off, the only means of giving
relief My wife would not consent to this, and she
determined TO try your Llnlment, which gave re-
lief the very first application, and by continued
use she entirely recovered. She is now ten years
old and feshy and healthy as could be desired
Your Liniment is also the best in use for spralns
bruises cuts, burns, headache etc. and II Will re
move the most sevtr pain in o few minutes. II
also cured caked udder in my COW in few days.

This morning a we'll sknown, genteel
young gentleman entered the store --
-, on Second avenue, and inquired of
the lady clerk. What is the price of knit
'undershirts with breast pockets?" re-
marking that he frequently carried con-
siderable sums OF money aud he was par
ticularly struck with the advantages of
that kind of pockets. Really, sir she
answered, Il don't think we have any
thing of that kind, didn't know that
"any were made that way"
why yes,certainly,I L see you have them
''on exhibition. and that's why asked the
price. "Oh, you really are mistaken
sir, y says the young lady, Il know every
article in the store"
But there they are, said the young
gentleman, pointing toward
hung up at the front window, that's what
II refer to-
"Ahl ye-yes, see" she murmured
gasping as though she had a fish bone il
her throat, but that's not for mems wear
"and those pockets are"- and at thi,
point she smothered giggle in a cambria
handkerchief, while the cheeks of the other
girls in the store began to be as rosy as i
it were an uncomfortably warm summer
day. Suddenly it dawned upon the young
gentlemans mind that nature never re
quired him to use that kind of fundershirts
"How in thunder could [ tell? | amt
