invaluable and indispensably necessary, dispelling
the annoyances frequently engendered by change

every description.
The certificates of over four thousand Physicians

class of disorders which, unfortunately, physicians
treat with mercury, to the irretrievable destruction
of the patient's constitution, and which all the sar-
saparilla in the world cannot cure.

quently Black Spots

The Eyes,
with Temporary Suffusion and loss of sight, Want of
Attention, Great Mobility ,Restlesness, with Hor-
ror of Society. Nothing is more Desirable to
such Patientthan Solitude, and nothing
they more Di ^ad for Fear of Them-
selves; no Repose of Manner,
no Earnestness, no Specnla-
tlon, but a Hurried Tran-
sition from one question
t, another.
These symptoms, If allowed to go on—which this
medicine invarible removes—soon follows LOSS
OF POWER, FATUITY, AND EPILEPTIC FITS—
in one of which the patient may expire. Who can
say that these excesses are not frequently followed
by those direful diseases—INSANITY AND CON
SUMPTION V The records of the INSANE' ASY-
LUM, and the melancholy deaths by CONSUMP-
TION, bear ample witness to the truth of these as-
sertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancho-
ly exhibition appears. The countenance is actual-
ly sodden and quite destitute—neither Mirth or
Grief ever visits it. Should a sound of the voice
occur, it is rarely articulate.
"With woeful measures wan despair
Low sullen sounds his grief beguiled,'*
Debility is most terrible! and has brought thou-
sands upon thousands to untimely graves, thus
blasting the ambition of many noble youths. It
can be cured by the use of this
INFAIJIJIBIJB REMEDY.
If you are suffering with any of the above distres
sing ailments, the FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU will
cure you. Try it and be convinced of its efficacy
bkware or quack nostrums and quack doctors
who falsely boast of abilities and references. Citi-
zens know and avoid them, and sav e Long Suffer

rj^he greatest Medical Invention or the present

This wonder-working medicine is carrying the day
triumphantly wherever it is introduced. It needs
only a trial to establish its efficacy in all cases of
rheumatism, stiff joints, paralysis,

sprains, sc alds, brui£ksyi 6cc., 6cc. 6c.,
Such are the wonderful healing properties of
Bragg's Arctic Liniment, that it will almost imme-

ad all diseases of the skin.
Some of the cures performed by this Liniment are
truly wonderful. Mrs Hempstead, living on Wash-
ngton avenue St Louis, had been, .for several years
confined to her bed by Rheumatism, and during a
great portion of the time, suffered untold agony
from neuralgia of the face. After vainly endeavor-
ing to get relief from the prescriptions of many emi-
nent physicians, and using a score of bottles of the
various nostrums, advertised to cure these diseases
she was induced by % friend to try the Arctic Lini-
ment,and the result was almost magical. Before she
had used a whole bottle,her pains were entirely gone
and by the time she had used six bottles, she was
completely restored to health. A whole Journal
inight*be filled witi cures as wonderful as this, but
one is sufficient to establish the fact that the Arctic
Liniment will cure, when everything else fails. It
is "4a i aliu for every wound," and thousands, who
have tested its virtues, now rejoice in freedom from
pain and disease-
It is also a sovereign remedj* for nearly all dis-
seises of animals, and more than three thousan-
Farmers. Livery Stable Proprietors and raisers od
horses, have given their certificates, after having
fully tested its curative qualities* that no remedy if
to be compared to the Arctic Liniment for the never
failing cure of Bruises,Sprains,Spring halt. Wounds
Scratches, Sweeny, Spavin. Ring-bone, Big-heads
Poll Hvil. &c.t and in fact every disease common
to horses. No intelligent Farmer or Livery Stable
keeper who has used it is now without it—none
should be. Tne Proprietors make the
Liberal Proposition
To furnish each purchaser of a Dollar Bottle , a fre
subscription to the U. S. Journal—one of the bed

German Bitters,
prepared by
DR. C. M. JACKSON,
German Medicine store*
.Yo 120 Arch St., one door below Sixth, Phila.
Their power over the above diseases is not ex-
celled, if equalled, by any other preparation in the
United States, as the cures attest, in many cases af-
ter skilful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of Inva-
lids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification
of the liver and lesser glands, exercising the most
searching power in weakness and affections « f the
digestive organs, thev are withal safe, certain and
pleasant.
TESTIMONY EROM TEXAS.
K. F. Kucker. Washington, Texas. Sept.,
■24th. 1853, says: "I have sold the last bottle of Ger-
man Bitters to-day • It is quite a popular medicine,
and those who have used it speak in the highest
terms of its salutary influence."
S. W. Fishery Matagorda,Texas, July 15th,
1853, says: -4The German Bitters have become ve-
ry popular here and are moving off rapidly."
T« tfl* llc.flahon A Co. Richmond, Tex-
as, Sept., 22, 1H52, says : "We arepleis d to inform
you that your Herman Bitters give in iv trsal satis-
faction. It is in great demand. I as early as
practicable.'*
Geo. Young:. Wheelock, Texas, April 17th,
1854,says: "The German Bitters have arrived in
good time for the summer sickness, and I think
there will be a good demand for them, as 1 find ev-
ery person who has used them pronounced it the best
medicine of the kind they have ever known.''
These Bitters art- entirely vegetable, thereby
possessing ^r -at advantage over most of the prepar-
ations recommended for similar diseases.

r? may be used by persons of the most feeble Con
stitution as wel 1 as those of the strongest frame
and with equal safety. Being pleasant and agree-
able to take, it can be administered, when frequent-
ly the nauseating compounds commonly prescribed
would not be retained on the patient-s stomach.
"THE HYGIENIC PANACEA"
Is doubtless one of the most valuable discoveries to
afflicted humanity that has been produced in the
present centuary and one that renders "Mercurial
Cath rtics" entirely useless, as it will, in nearly
every species of disease, operate as effectually upon
the biliary Organs.
The inventor has for many years used the Hygi
enic Panacea in private and 'hospital practice and
it will be found an invaluable remedy in the cure of
Dyspepsia costiveness Intermittent and Remittent
Fevers Deranged Stomach Affections of the Lungs
Bronchitis Asthma Liver Complaint Diseased Kid-
neys, Coughs, Colds, Bhenpi&t'sm, Neuralgia, Gid
diness, Spasms, Nerveousness, and all Diseases
arising from an impure state of the Blood, exposure
and Derangement of the Organs of the Chest - and
Stomach.
NEVER FAILS TO EFFECT A CURE.
Without attempting to picture the evil effects
daily caused and entailed on the human family by
the use of Mercury, which thephysic>ac in prescrib-
ing knows to be a cure, but little preferable to the
disease a preparation wholesome, harmless and
equally efficacious will be received as a blessing to
many a poor suffer ?r. The deleterious effects of the
subtile drugs which too many use to the destruction
of health and happiness,may be eradicated the by
use of a few bottles of the Hygienic Panacea, and
thousands for whom life presents no longer any
charms may be relieved of their despondency and
restored to robust health by it in a few weeks.

Important to Females—Dr Cheeseman's
Pills. .■The combinations of ingredients in those
Pills, is the result of a long and .extensive practice;
they are mild in their operation, and certain of re-
storing nature to its proper channel. In every in-
stance have the Pills proved successful. They are
certain to open those obstructions to which females
are liable, and bring nature into its proper channel
to a healthy one No female can enjoy good health
unless she is regular; and whenever an obstruction
takes place, whether from exposure, cold, or any
cause, in general health immediately begins to de-
cline, and the want of such a reused ■ has been the
cause of so many consumptions among young, fe-
males. Headache, pain in the side, palpitation of
the heart, loathing of food, and disturbed sleep, dn
mos^ always arise from the interruption of natnre;
and whenever that is the case, the Pills will invari
ably remedy all these evils. In all cases of painful
menstruation, or nervous and spinal affections in
the back and limbs, lowness of spirits, hysteries,
Sec. Nor are they less efficacious in the cure

Pills should never be taken during pregnancy as they
would be sure, to cause a miscarriage. Warrauted
