HOUSTON HALE AND FEMALE
im ACADEMY.
The Principal of this Institution would respectfuilv
Inform his patrons that he has secured the services of
D. C. FARMER, A. M.,
Late of Tennessee, as an Instructor In the Academy.—
Mr. Farmer has had five years experience In teaching,
and Is well qualified to fill the place for which he has
been engaged.
This Institution Is now established on a permanent
basis, and the Principal confidently refers to his patrons
In this city, and elsewhere, as to its success in instruc-
tion. The government of the Academy is mild, though
firm, decisive and uniform. Harshness and severity are
always avoided. Strict order, prompt obedience, and
constant industry are required as the only means of se-
curing the ends of the Teachers and fulfilling the hopes
of the patrons. The morals and deport ment of the pu-
pils are .especially cared for, and carefully guarded.—
Thoroughness in all the departments of an academical
education Is kept In view—scholars taught to think
and to rely upon their own enorts for success. A daily
record of the behavior and recitation of the scholars
kept, and a monthly report sent to their parents or
guardians. But while a spirit of emulation is thus ex-
cited, higher motives to diligence are presented bv ap-
peals to the understandings and consciences of the' pu-
pils, as moral and accountable beings. Strict attention
paid to the physical as as well as the moral and intellec-
tual training of the pupils.
The regular course of instruction In this Institution
Includes a Primary Departments Junior, a Middle, and
a Senior Class. The studies of .each of the classes occu-
py one year,

These symptoms, If allowed to go on—which this

by those direful diseases—INSANITY AND CON-

BRAGCFS IMPROVED LINIMENT
The greatest Medical Invention of the present
dny is undoubtedly, Bragg1* Arctic Liniment
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
old sores, neuralig a. burn8,
sprains, scalds, bruises, &c.,&c-&.,
Such are the wonderful healing properties of
Bragg's Arctic Liniment, that it will almost imme-
diately afford relief to all the above mentioned di*
seases, besides being a specific
For Earache9 Toothache,Chilbains,Sore Eyes,Ring
worms, Cancers, Bronchites, Warts, Sore ThroatTu
mors, Scurvy, Gout, Scrofula,Erysipelas,Piles,Corns
Wens, Sore Lips, Fever Cakes, Sore Nipples, &c.,
and ail diseases of ti1e 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, buffered 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 a friend to try the Arctic Lini-
ment,and the result was ulmost magical. Before she
had used a whole boUle,her pains were entirely gone
and by the time she had used six bottles, she was
completely restored to health. A whole Journal
might be filled with 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-4* balm for every wound,1* and thousands who
have tested Its virtues, now rejoice in freedom from
pain and disease.
It isalso a sovereign remedy for nearly all dis
sense3 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 ICvil. &c., 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. The Proprietors make the
Liberal Proposition
To furnish each purchaser of* Dollar Bottle, a free
subscription to the U. S. Journal—one of the best
New York illustrated papers—for one year. The
certificate entitling the holder to the benefit of this
proposition is enclosed in the wrapper around every
dollar bottle.
The ARCTIC LINIMENT is put up in 25 cent, 5b
centand 31 bottles. The 50centand 91 bottles con-
tain 50 and 100 per cent more Liniment in propor
tion to their cost and are the cheapest.

—Important to Females—Dr Cheeseman's
"Ills.—Abe combinations of ingredients in thjse
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 remedy 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, do
most always arise from the interruption of nature;
and whenever that is the case, the Pills will invari
ably remedy all these evils. In all cases of p'ainful
menstruation, or nervous and spinal affections in
the back and limbs, lowness of spirits, hysteries,
&c. Nor are they less efficacious in the cure of
Leucorrhoea, commonly called the "Whites." These
Pills.should never be taken during pregnancy as they
would be sure to cause a miscarriage. Warranted
purely Vegetable, and freefrom anything injurious
to life or health. Full and explicit directions which
should be read, accompany each box.
These pills areput up in square flat boxes. Persons
residing where there ts no agency established,by en-
closing One Dollar in a letter, prepaid, to Dr. c.l.
Chkeseman, Box No. 4,531. Post-office, New York
