THROAT AND LUNGS THAT ARE
WITHIN THE POWER CF MEDI-
CAL AID!
This Medicine is the prescription of a late t?lent d
Professor in one of the Philadelphia Colleges of
Medicine. It is a purely vegetable compound, and
it possesses rare medicinal curative properties,
This Medicine is worthy of public confidence on
account of its singular aud entire harmleysness.
Bragg's Golden Cough Syrup
is pleosant to take. Parents will find no difficulty
in administering it to the youngest infant.
The G ddeu Syrup is prepared on the plan of com-
bining the most active and ejficient remed.eg, usu-
ally prescribed by the profession, in all their purity,
aflording a remedy which is found to give energy
and. certainty of elfect, which cannot be had by
using the same remedies as uaualiy prescribed by the
physician or apothecary.
it is not designed that this shall be a secret reme-
dy, and the formula, with proportion of each iugre-
dient, will be readily submitted to Physicians.
Half a bottle cures a common cough ;
One * fc* •* hoarseness and tickling in the
throat;
Two •• 4* Influenza;
One ,fc ia sufficient to cure several attacks
of Croup;

relief in Whooping Cough
This Medicine is prepared by a scientific chemist,
and is put up iu a superior style to any other Cough
Medicine in this country, and does most positive y
not contain one particle of laudanum, morphine or
antimony, which dangerous drugs form the i.asis of
most ad the Cherry Pectorals and other quack nos
truing for coughs and colds now offered to the public.

ton for the sale of BRAGG'S GOLDEN COUGH

WE, the subscribers, having witnessed the per-
formance ami successful operation of 'Thomp-
son's Bagasse Burner or Furnace.^ on the plantation
of Mr. Gossett & Johnson, Parish of Jeirerson —
Said Burners, or Furnace, are composed of a series
of burning chambers, which are applied to two Cyl-
inder Boilers, 30 feet long, 28 inch diameter, which
furnishes amide steam to run their engine with little
overhal the Bagasse, green from the mill, without the
aid of wood or the use of flowers, generating a much
greater heat than we have ever seen from Bagasse
by any procees. the flues and underneath the boiler
being a continual white heat, consuming all smoke
and gasses as well as the Bagasse, leaving little or no
ashes or cinders, and we are of opinion that with
sufficient boiler surface to consume all the Bagasse,
sufficient steam can be generated not only to run the
engine but do much, if not all the clarification and
evaporation of the cane juice; and we are further
of opinion that the principle of this furnace is cor-
rect and practicable, forming a natural combustion,
aud being a combination of air-tight aud draught,
aud unlike the blower system, which is forced and
artificial:

THE present critical state of European affairs
will render these publications unusually inter-
esting during the forthcoming year. They will oc-
cupy a middle ground between the hastily written
news-items, crude speculations, and flying rumors
of the daily Journal,and tho ponderous Tome of the
future historian, written after the living interest and
excitement of the great political events of the time
shall have passed away. It is to these Periodicals
that readers must look for the only really intelligi-
ble and reliable history of current events, and as
such, in addition to their well established literary,
scientific, and theological character, we urge them
upon the consideration of the reading public.

This preparation has now borne the test of over
fourteen years experience, since its first introduc-
tion to public favor,' during which time numerous
imitations have sprung into existence founding
their claims to the confidence of the community in
the curative powers contained in Sarsaparilla Root,
the great reputation and extended use of which has
been mainly attributable to the many wonderful
cures effected by the use of this preparation. While
Sarsaparilla Root forms an important part of its
combination, it is, at the same time, compounded
with other vegetable remedies of great power, and
it is in the peculiar combination and scientific man-
ner of its preparation, that its remarkable success
in the cure of disease dejiends. Other preparations
imitate it in the style of putting up, and in bearing
the name of one of its ingredients, and here ends
their resemblance to it. Those needing a remedy
and purifier like this, are requested to note where
this difference exists, and in making choice of what
they will use, not to take any other but that one en-
titled to their confidence, from the long list of cures
it has effected on living witnesses, whose testimonials
and residences have been published, and who are
still bearing testimony to its worth.

Twenty Years of Rxrcaiajica.—Iu tkctnabMftl
of disease hitherto neglected and imperfectly mM-
derstood, has enabled Dr. Kinkelin, (Author of m

tenths of the causes of nervous debility, local and
constitutional weakness, mental and physical raf-
tering, are traceable to certain habiu, fora^Rg thm
most secret yet deadly and fatal springs of doaiestie
misery and premature mortality.
Take Particular Notice.—There'M aa aril hdbft
sometimes indulged in by boys, ia sslitade, often
growing up with them to manh00^4 and which, if
not reformed in due time not onlyJfcgeia seripns ob-
stacles to matrimonial happiness, bat (ires rise to a
series of protracted, insidious, and devastating af-
fections. Few of those who give way to this per-
nicious practioe are aware of the consequeaoea, on*
til they 'find the nervous system shattered, feel
strange and unacountable feelings, and vtgae fears
in the mfnd.
The unfortunate thus affected becomes feeble, la
unable to labor with accustomed vigor, or to appljr
his miad to study, his step is ta rdy and weak, nc i%V
dull, irresolute and engages in his sport

mutual happiness. Could the veil which covers lbs
origin of domestic wretchedness be raised, and tta
true source in every instance ha disclosed 4n haw
many could it be traced to physical disqualiilc snans
and their attendant disappointments! Apply then
while it is yet time, in order to hare your anstmng
and relaxed organisation rebraced, revivified ana

Remember—He who places himself nnder Br.

honor as a gentleman, and rely upon the assoraace,

Too many think they will conceal the aecret in
