The Patrons of Ponds Extract

The Patrons OF Ponds Extract
are cautioned against the uncer-
tain, strengthless decoctionS of
fered to the public as being equal
to this far-famed, old established
remedy.
DO not be deceived by similarity
OF odor and appearance. These
mutations cannot an dmy instance
be compared with Ponds Ex-
tract
AhAs great Curative is always of
steady and uniform character.
The extensive facilities for the
manufacture of Ponds Ex-
tract enables the COMPANY to
guarantee this, while the irnitator
docs not produce the same result
twice in succession.
The true secret of the manufac-
ture of Ponds Extract is
+ too well guarded and too wisely
Z transmitted to escape.
Other unScFupuIouS trades
men, desirous of making larger
profit, arc in the habit of stating
to their customers who ask for
Ponds Extract, that they
do not keep it in bottles but have
it in bulk
This Company is most s0lici-
tous to protect their patrons from
this dishon orable trick, rcsorted
to for the purpose of palming off
on the public q cheap dec oction
that can not in any way compare
in purity and quality with this
old eSfa hliSbed remedy
Some OF our friends are in the
habit of taking old Ponds
Extra ct bottles to the druggists
to be reflled No dealer can
refill a bottle with genuine
Ponds Extract except by
emptying another bottle.
The Ponds Extract Company
will feel indebted 10 any one who
furnishes them with the name of
any dealer who attempts TO sell
them any article in bulk as
Ponds Extract. or the same
as Ponds Extract. Those so
doing are violating an act ct' Can
greSs passed Aug. 14th, 1876, the
penalty of which is fine and i'm
prisonment.

stone rock crops up, useless for cultivation
and overgrown with tall plant bearing
broad blush green leaves and large pods ell
ed with silky fbres, that c'Ters waste places
like docks at home There is a small
street of low, windowless houses, thatched
or tiled, strong wooden door in the mid
die of each, and on either side of il divan-
like seat runs along under the broad i'm
pending caves, curying up at the ends
cosch-fashion. This outside yerandah,
which is the family gathering place and
drawing-room is whitewashed and banded
with red, as are all the walls. Beyond
the street the abodes OF the lower castles lie
dispersed-here a cluster of round peak
rooted huts, there some better dwellings
with small inclosed yards, in which grow
cocoa-nut tree or two; the whole surround
ed with rough stone wall whitewashed
and red-striped, as are also the tree
trunks. Somewhat apart few weavers
are plying their craft; the strong cloths,
some twenty-five yards long, on which
they are employed are stretched upon sup
ports under line of towering trees plant
ed for the purpose, and they pace rapidly
upon and down these primitive looms,
shuttle in hand; their trade is much dim
inished since their fabrics made TO wear,
have been supplanted by foods of the
cheaper English, made to sell. Somewhere
in or near the village big old banyan or
peepul tree will be seen rising from the
middle of square stone-built platform, as
usual striped white and red; here gather
the elders to settle disputes and questions
of caste, and not far off will be the village
temple, small sacellum, solidly built of
small red brick, little ornamented, and
devoted to one of the Saktis, or malignant
forms Of the wife Of silva, deity and wor-
ship doubtless of aboriginal descent, adop-
ted by the Brahmans into their mythology
to increase their influence. By its steps
are placed two or three snake-stones-tlme-
worn granite blocks bearing cobra rudely
sculptured in relief on one side, in an up
right posture, with folds disposed right
and left, sometimes having one, sometimes
five heads, the hoods always expanded; oe-
casionally woman's bust ends Melusina-
like in serpent-coils. Everywhere over the
country at the foot of trees, placed before
or ranged round the walls of temples, these
stones are met with, generally blurred and
moldered with age; some have regarded
them as the Oldest sculptures in India, re-
lies of primitive snake-wcrshippin races.

S0yINAMBULISM EXTRAORDIN.
AIRY.

A family living in one of the large
squares in the west end of Edinburg, Scot
land, had until lately one of their daughters
in residence at Mornington Asylum as
private patient. While sitting with the
family the patient suddenly left the room,
and proceeded hurridly upstairs, entered
her room, and locked the door. Her sister,
who had followed her, and could not obtain
entrance, fearing that some accident would
follow, rushed out of the house, and was
Mortified to find her relative hanging from
the ledge of the window by her hands. An
alarm was raised, and large crowd quick
ly gathered. A futile attempt was made
to force the door of the room, and mean
time DR.. Moxon got upon the ledge of the
window of the story beneath. The unfor-
tunate girl now managed to support her
feet by his hands, and this. to great ex-
tent relieved the strain on her arms. She
was now thoroughly alive to her own dan
ger, and was clinging to the window as if
for life. She hung first by one hand and
then by the other for not less than six or
seven minutes. Some of the people
drew from the house large quantity of
bedding, in order to break the fall of the
poor girl, which seemed by this time
inevitable. Amid terrible excitement she
at last succumbed, ,-and as she was falling
the doctor tilted her toward, an action only
too necessary, as projection above the
doorway stood in the. way Of the descent,
and would have sent the unfortunate girl
either upon the iron spikes or into the
area below. As it WIS, she fell upon her
side, sustaining no apparent injury, as she
presently walked up stairs.

VFGETINE.
TO HAVE A PERFECT CURE,
TRY Vegetine.

H. R. STEVENS, EsQ-Dear Sir This is to certify
that my daughter was taken sick when she was
three years old, and got SO low that we were
obliged to keep her on n pillow, without moving
to keep the little thing together She was attended
by several physicians, the regular attending one
being old Dr. John Stevens They all pronounced
her case incumble. She had been sick about a
year. when hearing of the great Blood Remedy,
Vegetine, | commenced giving her that, and con-
tinued it regularly till she was about seven years
old, when she was pronounced perfectly cured
During her sickness three pieces of bone were
were taken from her right arm above the elbow,
one of them being very long. Several small pieces
We're also taken from her left leg. She Is now
twenty-seyen years old, and is enjoying good
health and has ever since she was seven years old
with no sign of scrofula or other blood disease
Her arm is little crooked, but she can use it al
most as well as the other Her legs are of equal
length and she is not in the least lame, Her case
was scrofula, inherited in the blood; and l would
recommend al those having scrofula hnmor, or
feet cure to try Vegetine the reliable Blood rem
edy, which does not weaken the system like many
other preparations recommended, but on the CON
trary it is nourishing and strengthening. My
daughters case will fully testify this, for never
saw or heard of worse form of scrOfula.
