LdCAX AND MISCELLANEOUS. The Law of Newspapers. 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to con tiaue their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their papers, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their papers from the office, they are held responsible till thej hare settled their bills and ordered the paper discontinued. 4.

From the earliest ages wine has been known and esteemed one of the choicest productions of the earth. It is rendered proverbial in Scripture. In the present age good wine is not only valued as a luxury, but there are several kinds which are held in high estimation by the medical profession, and form a valuable commodity in every good dispen sary. In Europe there are upwards of fifty differ ent kinds of wine, obtained from as many different kinds of grapes. But it has remained for modern science and skill to produce a luxurious ond de lightful wine from medical plants and roots. The object has been fully accomplished in an article called Da. HALSEY'S FOREST WINE. From a formula of roots, plants etc., of the highest medi cal order, is here produced a pure wine, equal, if not superior, in flavor to any imported, at the same time retainiug all the virtues of one of the best medical formulas ever known, No invalid can object to take the Forest Wine on account of disagreeable taste, and Done can take it without being convinced of its great value as a medical agent From our own experience we can vouch for the excellence of this wine ; and we trust that every one, whose health is in the least im paired, will read Dr. HaUey's advertisement, which will be found in our columns to-day, and avail themselves of the remedv DRAFTS, WPnnlunJ T...1 j w - I I n " ,V"W' ana an parts of uuiu.u i , mi saie uy H.

J NATURE'S OWN REMEDY ! One TIM I ion Boxes Free to the Siek and Afflicted! A Cure For All Without Price ! DOCTOR Halsey's Forest Pills THE FOREST PILLS neither gripe nor weaken the system. This is because thev contain no deleterious drugs or minerals, but are extracts of Wants which are as wholesome as me iooa we cat. A CURE IS CERTAIN, and tbey cure without weakening the system or affecting the bowels but slightly, except in full doses, when tbey purge thoroughly, but without griping paius, or producing weakness. IT IS FOLLY to use grininc. drastic imrcatircs: such drugs weaken and destroy the tone of the stomach and bowels. Never weaken the system. The stronger the vital I unctions, the more "power have they to throw off disease when assisted by a good medicine. MILLIONS Of HOXES Of the FOREST PILLS have been used, With the most happy results. Letters aud certificates iiom every part of the Union and British Colonies, testifying to the good effects, and the cures of thousands from their efficacy, have been received. HEADER! I never knew a single instance where the FOREST PILLS have been taken according to the directions but they produced the most decided benefit. Even in old standing complaints, where the patient persevered in them for a reasonable length of time, they have effected a cure in every instance which has come to my knowledge. It should be understood that the FOREST PILI.S are not made from common drugs, as all other pills are, but that they arc prepared from the medicinal vir tues of certain plants, which nourish aud purify the blood as food does the body. I will ntention, for example, three of these plants, which are well known: DANDELION, YELLOW DOCK, and SARSAPAKILLA. The others are found growing wild in the forests, and their medicinal properties arc ten times more effective than those I have named. Were it not for making known the secret of a valuable discovery, I would not hesitate to give their names. Suffice it to say, that the radi ciual efficacy of one of those was discovered from its cure of a horrible case of Scrofula in about three weeks' time.

FORMERLY of Buffalo, N Y. now, of Chicago in order to accommodate bis patients in this vicinity designs visiting NILES, DOWAGIAC, DECATUI?, PAW PAW, and vicinity, and therefore would say to the citizens of those places, that he is fully aware that there are many medicnl gentlemen visiting different parts of the eouutry, who (judging from their suc cess in the treatment of disease) have but little c aim to professional knowledge, vet, nevertheless, claiming for himself, fir,t, thorough medical education, second, considerable oractical knowl edge ot the treatment of disease, and also of having great ancccss in years past iu the treatment of dis ease. He is confident of snccesn in : ..,i.i ca.s that may be presented, (for his impiocH method cf treatment) in this Ticinity. It is known to be true by wr:. uf etmAA observation, that the mcdieal world, as well as every other department of knowledge, is and has been iu years past, subjected to manv and vHp1 changes ; and it would seem atrange indeed if those changes had no tendency upward or onward, keep ingpace with other aits and sciences. ine Dr. is fully aware that the medical worid is far behind many of the arts and sciences, yet at the same time there arc many minds of great goodness of heart who have spent nights and days of untir ing toil in order to add to the grand stock of med ical knowledge. With these facts before us, everv mcdical gentleman should try to keep pace with all improvements in the medical world. Some minds will be led to enquire what particu lar diseases does the Dr. pay most attention to, and what is Ins particular mode of practice The Doc tor would say that he has not adopted a speciality in the treatment of disease, or the choice-? reme dies; he has however tnrnned his attention more particularly to the treatment of LUNG AND FE MALE DISEASES; and the present condition of our race physically, would Seem to urge every med ical gentleman to turn his attention in this direc tion, from the fact that small contracted weak lungs arc among the commonalities of the present time silso amoug the female sex there is a universal ten- Jf T-A LViT'"1.!' e"!elnianT. eternal weakness and debihlity j therefore to restore the small flat weak lungs, to a full, round, erect size and shape making the short breath long, the weak voice stron- and entirely removing the internal weak ness, debility, all gone feeling at the stomach, pain in tue back, soreness across the small of the back and bowels, together with cold feet, dizziness blindness on stoop, ng, together with manv other symptoms which prevail among the female sex which often arise from a scorfulous diathesis It is the Drs. pr.rpow fo treat chronic di leasts generally, and hope to give satisfaction With regard to treatment the Dr. styles his prat ticc ANALYTIC CHEMISTRY, as he'discards the mineral poison and anah ses all vegetable sub stances which he uses. The Drr has discovered many remedies in his travels which he finds great utillity in the cure of disease which are noti general use especially those discovered while among the native li.dians, as well as those growing among the continual summer of Mexico. Especial ly would we call (he attention to that class of rem edies which by recent chemical developments be uses for general weakness and debility, in which he used in a case in St. Joseph Co., Ind., where for two years the person was confined to the room aud couch ; but on application of his treatment, a per manent cure followed. And also in various cases of debility, his patients constantly gain strength, while his medicines aid the recuperative process of nature. The Dr. bi lierea lua treatment of d to be fully up with the times, and will take nfonsnn in explaining his method of treatment bv lettpr or otherwise, to any person who desires to "consult him. The Dr. will also be pleased to undertake in satisfy7 any skeptical mind with regard to his medi cal knowledge or success in treating the most diffi cult forms of disease, (of the Head. Ears, Throat Heart, Lungs, Liver, Spine, Kidneys, Ac, Ac ,) by referring to parties in this vicinity", and in other parts of the country, who have corfullv Wi-.tcUed his treatment of disease for months nA i ac cuses for a much longer time ; also he would refer to any person privately fo numbers of individual cases carefully treated aud cured of various forms of disease, since the introduction of his practice, in the West. The Dr. especially invites persona suffering with weakness, general debility, or actual disease, to give him a call, and perhaps by con saltation or a thorough examination of the person, may receive satisfaction is his or her case. The Dr. will make no charges for consultation or ex amination. On account of the great variety of charges for medical service, some would inquire what the habit of Dr. D., is in this respect. Th Dr. would say that on account of the financial condition of the country, he has reduced his fees for medical service. His charges for prescriptions and medicines in ordinary cases, is throe dollars per month, and as he expects to make monthly visits to the above places, it affords an excellent opportunity for those who desire bis counsel or advice. As there may be some in this vicinity who desire to counsel with the Dr. and are not able to visit him, he has subjoined a list of questions hich may be answered by the patient, and sent by a friend to the Dr. or forwarded to him ot Chicago, and by previous notice and arrangement he may be able to pay them a visit. The following hst of questions is not designed to meet every case, but to give the patient an idea by which he may be guided in the description of the case.
