S j LIZ H U R SOAP,
THE LEADING EXTERNAL SPECIFIC
FOR DISEASES or THE SKIN AND
Beauliier OF the Complexion.
1t renders the Cuticle TIcalthfully Clear
and Smooth. and is the Best Possible sub
stitute for Expensive sulphur Baths.

1t is an Incompatible Remedy for Bruis-
es, Ulcers, Cuts, and every irritable or
unhealthy condition of the skin, and is Il
most serviceably remedial agent and
source of speedy relief in cases of GOut
and rheumatism.
Ii is Il most desirable Disinfectant of
Clothing or Bed Linen, worn and used by
persons suffering from obnoxious and
contagious diseases, and is Il Capital REM
edy and Preventive of them, when used
aS an injection. Persons employing 1t
have no need to take Sulphur Baths. or TO
resort to sulphur Springs tor bathing pur-
poses.
As an adjunct of the Toilet, it is far
more desirable than any Cosmetic, since
it does not, like articles of that nature,
CONCEAL Congressional BlemiSheS, but RI
MOVES them.
Tan, Freckles, PimpleS, BlotcheS, and
the like, speedily yield TO its Clarifying
influence; and it i the very best soap to
shave with. because it leaves the skin
very smooth and free from the irritation
produced on a sensitive cuticle, by the
application of the razor. 1t also COM
plrIeIy cradicatcS DANDEUFF.
Housewives declare it to be excellent
for washing Wooden, Linen, Lace, and
other fabrics, and ladies moving in the
best circles of metropolitan and rural So
ciety speak of it in the highest terms.
Testimonials pour in from all quarters
of the Union upon its proprietor, many OF
which have been published in the form
Of Il neat pamphlet, prOcurable of Dug
gistS and Fancy Goods Dealers, the origl-
mails being open to public inspection at his
MEDICINAL WAREHOUSE, No. SIXTH Az
ENUE, NEW YORK. The article is more
over indorscd by the Medical fraternity.
Like most other FAMOUS REMEDIES,
GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP has been
initiated. Soaps without the smallest
fraction of remedial efficacy have been
and IRE foiled upon the unsuSpecting and
! unobServant, as genuine sulphur Soaps,
possessing properties identical with or
equal to The Great Specific, which their
vendors seek TO rival by underhand com
petition. The public should therefore be
careful to inquire tor GLENN'S Sulphur
Soap by its full name, and see that they
get the real article.
All respectable Druggists, Fancy Goods
Dealers and Grocers keep GLENN'S

liovehound and Tar.

1t Invariably Cures Coughs, Colds,
Hoarscness, Sore Throat, Asthma, Group,
and other Affections of the Breathing Or
gans.
Its soothing influence upon the lrrlta-
ted lining of the air passages, is due to
the fact that its ingredients are the most
eilicacious pulmonic simples known to
medical botany, the basis OF the article
being the HONEY OF the HoREHoUND
PLANT, chemically united with the me-
dicnal principle Of the ARIES BALSAMEA,
or Balm OF Gilead. There are besides,
five other botanic elements which give
additional efficacy to the first named TWO.
Those who have used it, say that III ALE'S
HONEY Of IIOREHoUND AND TAR Is not on
lv Wonderfully remedial i'll all cases
where the organs of respiration are Affect
cd. bat also that its action is unusually
rapid. \ few doses frequently serve TO
relieve a very obstinate cough. 1t con-
tains nothing that cen disorder the st0m-
ach. a fact that can be alleged with truth
of but few Cough remedies; it has an eN-
tremcly agreeable flavor, and Is sold ut
figure which enables those of the most
limited means TO avail themselves OF It's
virtues.
1t is simple madness TO tritlc with
Cough. Irritation of fine Throat, ChesI
and Lungs travels rapidly, and what is a
triiling and easily conqueraOie difficulty
in those organs to-day, may III few weeks
develop into Bronchitis or Consumption,
two diseases which carry more victims to
early graves, than any other III the long
list of bodily disorders.
\ Cough may be fifty termed the Pre-
liminary Stage of Consumption, malady
of which HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND
AND TAR is the surest known preventive.
Those, therefore, who would arrest the
progress of the destroyer, should delay
not Il moment TO take this CERTAIN Specific.
CHILDREN derive great benefit from It's
SOOTHING properties, when suffering with
the paroXysms of Group and Whooping
Cough. The first named disease Is eSpe-
ciallv destructive among young children,
and this reliable remedy should be Kept
