In this paper appears the advertisement
of Geo. +, Rose inventor of an article as
meretorious as any we have noticed for
some time. Very few who have owned a
vehicle or haye used one to any extent, but
have experienced the troubles attending
the devices now used. These the inven-
tons Of Mr.. Rose entirely obyiate They
hold the whip firmly, are easily affixed, can
be removed at pleasure and placed on
another vehicle. are neat In appearance,
and will not girdle, Both wooden and
rubber sockets have proven to be made
quate and unsatisfactory. the wooden ones
being easily broken off, and the rubber
more worthless still from a variety of
causes. The invention of Mr.. Rose en-
tirely overcomes all objections, having
already received encomiums from leading
manufacturers in all parts of the country
1t can be as easily adjusted to a wooden
dash as to leather one, and just as easily
transferred. And another important
item, they are as cheap as the ordinary
socket.
Mr., Rose manufactures two kinds, the
''Peerless" and the" &c and in twelve va
rieties. We recommend dealers to send t.
him for price list and circulars containing
full information His address is Nos. IL

weakness, &C, whether in male or female, no
matter of how long standing. 1t allays pain and
Inflammation, which other remedies invariably
cause, and is pleasant to the taste.
1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cines to be able to state that it Is now nearly 30
years since they were first introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used IN
various parts Of the United States and have given
TO patient and practitioner the highest degree of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed: whether In town or country
hospital, private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
ton, and produced the most salutary and benefcis
effects. Numerous letters have been received from
some of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors OF several Med
zeal Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value Of these medicines, and their su
periority over other prep ations for such COM
plants as the proprietor tommends
These medicines req re considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment Of different
menstrual in successive operations to take up the
extractive matters, and in consequence are mos
frequently improperly made, and not unfrequently
much impaired, il not rendered totally inert by
injudcious and unskiliul management Of those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations Of SarsQparilla and o.
Buchu, and various modes Of preparing then
have been given all Of which, of course, will dife
according to the mode Of preparation which eacl
individual may adopt. 1t is, therefore, OF tn
highest consideration and importance to the pub
lie and to the faculty that there should be STANDARD
preparations of uniform strength, and possessin.
the most advantage. To effect this, and obviat
the Inconvenience alluded 20, have made
number of experiments TO ascertain the mos
edectual means Of extracting the virtues OF Sar
ssparila and the Buchu, and to discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted most favorably, and it Is will
much pleasure now offer TO the public and tn
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, whic
contain all the virtues OF the medicines, and ar
the most active preparations Of either which can b
made.
Two tablespoonful Of the Extract of Zarsaps
