Liver Complaints, and
CONSUMPTION.
result of the careful study and experiments of a scienfiti
and experienced physician.' The two principal ingredi-
ents have long been* known arid celebrated. Wild cherry
bark: When the strength of this is properly extracted, it
is the best medicine known for curing the worst coughs,
and other pulmonary diseases; it loosentf^he phlegm, and
enables the sufferer to expectorate easily, and, alone, will
cure the worst cold or cough, which, if neglected, alwa;
leads to consumption. Lungwort: This is a plant, ti
virtues of which are known to but few. It has been said,
by the most learned men of all times, that "nature has
provided a remedy for each and every disease," and the
discoveries that are duly made go to prove its trdth.
Lungwort is doubtless the remedy designed by nature for
consumption. Its healing properties are truly wonderful,
and the rapidity with which it cures the worst cases of
ulcerated lungs, soothing and subduing all irritation
almost immediately; is a proof of its adaptation to this
disease. These two articles, combined with other purely
vegetable ingredients, form a medicine'that is certain to
cure the worst cases of consumption, if taken before the
sufferer is entirely prostrated. Do not be discouraged; a
trial can do no harm, but will convince the most sceptical
of its real worth. Thousands of consumptive persons
have been deceived repeatedly in buying medicines which
were said to be infallible cures, but which have proved
only palliatives; but this medicine is not only palliative,
but a cure for ulcerated lungs. It contains no deleterious
drugs, and one trial will prove its astonishing efficacy
better than any assertions or certificates in curing con-
sumption, and all diseases of the ilungs and liver, such as
spitting of blood, coughs, pain in the side and chest,
night-sweats, etc. Caution: To protect our own, as well
as the interest of the consumptive sufferer, we are obliged
to caution all to find the signature of Comstock <fc Brother
on the wrapper; without this it is a worthless counterfeit.
Remember this. ~ -
CARLTON'S LINIMENT FOR THE PILES, etc: It
is now used' in the principal hospitals, and in tne private
practice in our country, by an immense number pf indi-,
viduals and families, first and. most certainly for the cure
of the piles, and also extensively and effectually as to
baffle credulity, unless where its effects are witnessed ex-
teroaUy in the following* complaints: Dropsy swellings;
rheumatism, acute or chronic, giving immediate ease;
sore throat; ^bruises, sprains, burns, etc. Sores and ulcers:
whether fresh or of long standing, and fever sores. Its
operation upon adults and children in reducing rheumatic
by relaxation of the parts, has been surprising beyond
conception.! The common remark of those who have used
it in the piles, is, "It acts like a charm.-' It is warranted
to please any person that will try it. Caution: Never
buy it unless yon find the '&c simile signature of Corn-
stock k Brother, proprietors, on the wrapper.

COMSTOCK'S VERMIFUGE. This is the most extra-

icates worms from bq^h adults and children. It can not
harm the most delicate infant or strongest adult, and
never fails to completely root out and destroy all kinds
of worms. The cost- 25c bottle, puts it within reach
of all; and all parents who are without it are wantynly
exposing the lives of tlieir children to those fell destroy-
ers of youth, worms. Look for the name of Comstock &

SS ¡rfJiREMEDY FOR

getting grey. 2. It causes the hair to curl beautifully
when done np in it over ni&ht. This Balm is made from
the original receipt procured from the original Turkish
hakim [physician] of Constantinople, where it is univers-
ally used. The Turks have aWaJrs been celebrated for
their Wonderful skill in compounding the richest perfumes
and all other toilet articles. In Turkey, the aromatic
herbs, etc, of which this Balm is composed, are almost
universally known and used for the hair. 'Hence a case
of baldness, or thin head of hair, is entirely unknown in
that country. We wish but one trial to be made of it:
that will do more to convince you of its virtues than all
the advertisements that £an be published, and that all
may be able to test its virtues, it is put up in larg¿ bot-
tles, at the low price of 50c ^ bottle. Remember, the
genuine has the signature of Comstock k Brother on the
splendid wrapper.
FOR THE MARRIED. "Be ye fruitful, and multi-
ply," is a command that should be cheerfully obeyed by
the children of men. Dr. Larzette's Juno Cordial, or
Procrestive Elixir, prescribed as an effectual restorative
in caaes of debility, impotency, or barrenness, and all
irregularities of nature. It is ail that it professes to be,
■viz: Nature's great restorative, and .remedy for those in
the married state without offspring. It is a certain cure
for seminal emissions, general debility, gleet, weakness of
tbe genital organs, nervous affections, leucorrhoea, or
whites. As an invigorating medicine it is unequalled.
the user in any of the above complaints, and is of price-
less value to those without offspring. Caution extra:
Find the name of Comstock k Brother on the wrapper,
and never buy it unless you find the aliove name, as it
has been extensively counterfeited of late. Avoid the
counterfeit as yon would poison.
TO OWNERS OF AND DEALERS IN HORSES.
¡CARLTON'S FOUNDER OINTMENT, for the
cure or'founder, split hoof, hoof-bound horses, and con-
tracted and feverish feet, wounds, bruises in the flesh,
plied backs, cracked heels, scratches, cuts, kicks, etc, on
horses.
CARLTON'S RING-BONE CURE, for the cure of
ring-bone, blood-spavin, wind-galls, and splint; a certain
remedy.
CARLTON'S CONDITION-POWDERS for HORSES
and CATTLE: The changes of weather and season, with
the change of use and feed, have a very great effect upon
the blood and sinuous fluids of horses. It is at thesf changes
they require an assistant to nature to throw off any disorder
of the fluids of the body that may have been imbibed, and
which, if not attended to, will result in the yellow water,
heaves, worms, botts, etc. All of which will be prevented
by giving one of thepe powders, and will at any time cure
when any symptoms of disease appear, if used in time.
They purify the blood, remove all inflammation and fever,
loosen the skin, cleanse the water, and invigorate the
whole body, enabling them to do more work with tbe
same feed. The action of these powders is direct upon
all the secretive glands, and therefore they have the same
effect upon the horse, the ox, the ass, and all herbivorous
animals. All diseases arising from or producing a bad
state of the blood, are speedily cured by them. Caution:
Remember, and ask for Carlton's Condition-powders, and
take no others.
CARLTON'S NERVE and BONE LINIMENT, for
HORSES, and for the cure of all diseases of man or
beast that require external application, and for contracted
cords and muscles, strengthens weak limlw, and is also
used for sprains, bruises, saddle-galls, swelled legs, sores
of all kinds on horses. Carlton's articles for horses and
cattle are prepared from the recipe of a very celebrated
English farrier, and will cure, in ninety-nine cases out of
one hundred, any of the aliove complaints. They have
been used by farmers, livery men. stage proprietors and
others, with the most marked and decided success. Cau-
tion: None can l e genuine, unless you find the name of
J. Carlton Comstock on the wrapper of each article. Re-
member this, as their articles have been extensively coun-
terfeited, of late. Look, and find the proprietor's name,
