PIERCE’S PATENT, FIVE SIZES,
FITTED FOR WOOD OR COAL,
THE subscriber has the utmost confidence i the sii
: perior merits of this article, believing it to be the
most perfect, convenient and economical Stove ever offer
ed to the public.
It is the opinion of ell who have examined or used it
that it will supercede all other Cooking Stoves in use. It
bas more actual improvements and conveniences about it
than can well be described here; a few among the many
fire such as having the top of the oven made of fire brick,
Which gives it all the advantages of a Brick Oven, causing
the bread to rise and bake light, as the steam iz absorbed
into the brick. This improvement is of great imiportance
nnd is warranted to Bake quicker and better than any oth
eroven. The Stove has six places for Boiling afid the
best facilities for roasting in front with a Tin-kitchen, al
#o dhie brofling is done without filling the room with smoke.
There is no one objection can be raised against it. Any

| FACTS REGARDING THE
SUGAR COATED IMPROVED
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
F OR CONSUMPTION,COLDS, RHEUMATISW
Dyspepsia, Fevers, Dysentery, and Diarhcea, &c.
I have been inflicted for some time, with the Liver
Complaint, having pain inmy side, weakness in the back
and stomach, and dyspepsia. I have taken over one
dozen boxes Wright's 1. t’ and Brandreth’s Pills—but
continued to grow worse, and I was so reduced that I
despaired of ever gaining relief. 1 then tried Dr Smith’s
Sugar-Coated Improved 1. V. Pills—and before I finish
ed the second box, my pains and dyspepsia had disap
peared. My food now digests well; and lam able to at
tead to my family duties. Several of my friends liaye
since taken the Pills for bad Coughs, and have found
great relief from them. ~ Mrs OTIS 8. WHIINEY,
Boston, May 9th, 1845. 9 Myrtle-street.
I took a severe cold this fall, which settled in my
limbs and brought on the Rheumatism, accompanied
with severe pains and a bad cough, which obliged me to
give up my business; I tried many remedies without any
relief, until I procured a box of Dr Smith’s Sugar Coat
ed Indian Vegetable Pills, which, I am happy to say,
immediately relieved me, and enabled me, in three days,
toreturn to my business; I am now entirely well,
E. F. HILL, Washington-street.
Boston, Nov. 4, 1844.
I lave been for tour years afilicted with the Scrofula,
Lepiosy and Deafness, and have been unable to obtamn
any relief, undl I procured six boxes of Dr. SMiTnH’S
Valuable Improved Vegetable Pills, and in four months
all my complaints had disappeared, contrary to my ex
pectations. I took these pills for my Serofula, without
any expectation of relief. *JAMES R CHOATE.

[The followiag 1s from one of the oldest and most resyec,
table farmers in Madison Co., N. Y.
CazEnNovia, July 28th, 1844,
I bave used 40 boxes of Brandreth’s Piils and as many
more of different kinds, and have never found that ben
efit from the use of the whole, that I have from the use
of two boxes of Dr. SmiTH’s “Linproved Indian Vegeta
ble Pills.” T'hey seem to strike at the foundation of my
disease, which is of the biliouscharacter. I. ALVORD.

PERFECT CURE OF WORMS.
Our little giri, 6 years old, has suffered all the worst
stages of worms; and we have never found an effectual
cure, until we adminietered Dr. Smrra’s Suogar Pills
which our little girl took without the least reluctance, in
duses of two at a time: and we never witnessed such a
change in so short a time. Tae Pills brought.away a
mass of worms, and she at once improved, She is now
in joyous health. We have also found the greatest bene
fit from their use. JACOB CARLOCK,
8 Staple-street, New York,
We have many certificates of cures in the case of Worms.
The above are only a few of the namerous testimoni
als which are daily received of the great popularity and
success of these iruly excellent Pills. They are the best
medicine for the above complaints that are sold, and in
every case that they have been tried have given universal
satisfaction, and should be kept »s a family medicine
by every one. We only ask a trial of them to convince
the most skeptic of the tuth of these assertions.
The directions and treatment of diseases, accompany
avery box. Price 25 cents per box.
One word in reference to those wholesale MURDER
ERS, who not having honesty enough to work for an in
lependent livlihood, counter feit or imitate such valaable
remedies as Dr SmitH’s Pills, “SUGAR COATED
PILL>,” originated with Dr G. BENJAMIN SMITH,
who applied for a Patent long before any body else ever
aeard of them, therefore, 1t will be seen that all other
Pills claiming to be ““Sugar Coated,” are spurious and
dangerous, and we advise those who buy to examine
carefully the box for themselves, and see that Dr Smith’s |
pame is on it. ‘

The Vegetable Pulmonary Balsam,
Is probably, almost without a parallel in having, dur
ing a trial of nearly twenty years, tully maintained the
high reputation which it has acquired for Consumptive
Complaints and all diseases of the Lungs, Fhroat & Chest.
It bas been used probably with greater success than auy
other article known, and many physicians who have had
an vpportunity of witnessing its highly salutary efiects,
do not hesitate to recommend it as a *'safe, convenient,
and very efficacious medicine,equal if not superior to any
other prescription for the above complaints within their
knowledge, and one which has seldom disappointed the
reasonable expectations of those who have used it.”’

particularly recommended in cases of INDIGESTION and
DyspEPsia The following are some of its distressing
symptoms : Palpitation ofthe heart, heartburn, loss of
appetite, pain after eating, languor, melancholy, restless
ness, &c. It will cure the worst diseases of
Rheumatism,
and will eradicate mercury from the system infinitely fas.

' The DANDELION AND TOMATO PANACEA is, as’
‘all must be aware, from the ingredients of which it is
compounded, the best as well as the safest
Spring and Summer Medicine

sons when
Jaundice Complaints
are most prevalent. The symptoms of these complaints
are
Drowsiness, Dimness of Sight, &c.
It has proved itselfa most astonishing and effectual
remedy for that woist of all maladies,
The Piies, .
because it cleanses and enables the stomach to discharge
into the howels, and cause a free circulation, and regulas
tes the whole system, and thereby prevents
Costiveness.
In cases of Costiveness, either of recent or long stand
ing, it has proved itself effectual after all other remedies
have failed. ;
Scrofula, or King’s Evil,
and all other eruptions of the skin are caused by the im
pure state of the blood, and to have pure blood a medi
cine should be occasionally taken. “T'he Panacea is won
derful in its eftects for purifying and
Cleansing the Blood,

Signs of Rain,
Some people desire a weather calander in
their almanacs, fully believing, no doult, that
the weathier may be foretold by the phases of
the moon, As far better, however, than any
prognostications of such a kind, we copy the
following said to have been composed by Dr.

im. )
1. The hollow winds begin to blow,
2. 'The clouds look black, the grass is low 3
3. The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
4. And spiders from their cobwebs peep.
5. Last night the sun went pale to bed,
6. The moon in halos hid her head,
7. The boding shepherd heaves a sigh,
8. For, see a rainbow spans the sky.
9. The walls are damp, the diiches smell,
10. Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernell,
11. Hark ! how the chairs and tables crack,
12. Old Betty’s joints are on the rack ;
13. Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry 3
14. The distant hills are looking nigh.
15. How restless are the snorting swine,
16. The busy flies disturb the kine §
17. Low o’er the grass the swallow wings ;
18. The cricket, too, how sharp he sings ;
- 19. Puss on the hearth with velvet paws, -
. 200 Sits wiping o’er her whiskered juws. ;
21. Through the clear stream the fishes rise,
22.,And nimbly catch the incautious flies;
23. The glow worms, numerous and bright,
124, Nlumed the dewy dell last night.
- 125, At dusk the squalid tond was seen,
126. Hopping and crawling o’er the green ;
- \27. The whirling wind the dust obeys,
28. And in the rapid eddy plays;
29. The frog has changed his yellow vest,

al. Though July, the air is cold and still ;
£2. The mellow blackbird’s voice is shrill,
33. My dog, so altered in his taste,
34. Quits mutton bones, on grass to feast,
35. And see, yon rooks, how odd their flight,
36. They imitate the gliding kite,
87. And seem precipitate to fall—
-38. As if they felt the piercing ball.

erally kicked out of doors,
Forty years ago—men of property could la
bor, and wear homespun to church. Women
could spin and weave and make cheese, whose
husbands were worth thousands,
Forty years ago—There were but few mer
chants in the country—less insolvent debtors 3
and very rarely imprisonment for debt.
Forty years ago—'The young ladies of the
first respectability learned music, but it was the
humming of the spinning wheel, and learned
the necessary steps of dancing in following it.
‘Their forte piano was. a loom, their parasol a
broom, and their novels the bible.
Forty years ago—the young 'éemlemen hoed
caorn, chopped wood at the door, and in winter
went to school to learn reading, writing and a
’ rithmetic.
~ Forty years ago—There was some respect
paid to old age, to the ministers of the parish
and to Sunday.
Forty years ago—T'here was no such things
as balls in summer, and but tew in the winter,
except snow balls.
Forty years ago—ls a mechanic promised to
do your work, you might depend upon his
word, the thing would be done.
SmoklNG.—Physician—Madam,! can no lon
ger prescribe for you unless you throw away
that pipe.
Patient—why, la, doctor, I change the cob
every day or two,
Physician—No matter, while you contimue
to smoke at all. Besides, I see you do not
change the stem. That reed, madam, is filled
with the pill of tobacco, a deadly poison, the
etherialization of which is sufficient to suffocate
a rhinoceros ! Horrid practice, ma’am. 0,
reform it altogther,
Patient—La, doctor, how you talk. Suppose
I should quit smoking, whatshould I do for ex
citemrent, seeing I have no baby to nuss.
SuBsTITUTE FOR THE BaTH.—The following
plan was adopted by Sir Astley Cooper, during
many years of his life, and is worthy the atten
tion of those who cannot enjoy the blessings of
bathisg ;
“Immediately on rising rrom bed, and having
already previous, take off your night dress;
then take up trom your earthen pan of water,
a towel, quite wet, but not dripping ; begin at
the head rubbing the hair and face, and neck.
and ears well ; then rub yourself behind and
before, from neck to chest—your arms and ev
ery portion of your body. Remand your towel
inte your pan, charge it afresh with water, and
repeat once more what 1 have mentioned, ex
cept the head, unless it be in a heated state,
when you may do so, and with advantage.—
‘T'hree minutes or more will now have elapsed.
‘Throw your towel into the pan, and then pro
ceed with two coarse dry long towels to serub
your head, and face and body, front and rear,
when tour minutes has you ina glow ; then
wash and rub your feet, brush your hair, and
complete your toilet and trust me that this will
give a new zest to your existence. A mile of
walking may be added with advantage.”
Tue BoxinG IrisumMaN.—After the fight of
the 9th becawe general, a private, an Irishman,
found a bunch ofchaparral between himself and
a strapping Mexican. The Mexican raised his
piece and taking deliberate aim pulled trigger,
the piece did not go off, and the Mexican again
raised his musket and snapped it, Paddy all the
time cooly looking onj; at the second failure to
discharge his piece, the Mexican in a delirum
of wrath, threw his musket away, and went
through various gyrations of despair. Paddy
mistaking these excentricities for a chullengel
for a fist fight, threw away his musket, and
placing himself in an attitude that would have
delighted deaf Burke, sang out, “oh by the
powers, you will not find me amiss withr the
fists if that’s yer game.” Lieut.——, was ob
serving this singufar exhihition of coolness and
chivalry, ordered the soldier to take up his‘
proper weapon, and send the Mexiean teo his
long home, which was done accordingly, |
Second Marriages in Ireland.—The Irish do‘
not hold it strictly right for either man or woman l
to marry again; and it a woman does sO, she
prefaces it with an apology:—*lt’s a father I
was forced to put over his children, because |
had ne way for them Gold help them; and this |
man, ye see, says,‘Mary,”‘l have fulland plenty
tor them, and the Lord above he knows its jus
tice I’ll do them, and never hinder your prayers
for the man ye lost, or anything i raon either,”
and truth he kept his word wonderfully.—Aud
the neighbors of the married widower apologize
for him after this fashion: *Weel, to be sure!
.we must consider he hadta whole handful soff
children, and no one turn round en the flure, or
do a hand’s turn for him; so its small blame to
him, after all.’ Or they eondemn—¢¥aria
‘buish !to see an* old struckown like that set
himself up with a young wite, and grown up
daughters in his house! To think of the hard<
‘ness-of Him—passing the chureh yard, where
his poor heart that loved himand his children,
is powdering into dust—passing the grave where
‘the: grass isn’t-yet-long, with the slip of a girleen
i pface of her with thre thoughtful head aut the
heavy hand. Oh, be dad¥she’ll punish him Pl
engage, amb I’d be glad of it.” I'ey are more
angry, with'a woman for a sceond marriage
than with & man, and certainly never consider
-« gecontt union as ioly agthe first.

Fux atr toE Forr.— From reports down
from Fort Leavenworth, we judge that Col.
Kearney has his bands full with the new re
cruits. The ¢ompanies from the interior, par
ticularly the Jackson and Howard companies,’
are in a state of great insubordination, and they
-manifest ¢onsiderable hostility toward our city
“companies. ; > g

Oune of them was engaged in blasting a rock
in a quarry near the fort, and while drilling,’
unconscious of the Colonel being on the bank

«Perhaps you don’t like your employment,’
young man 2 saied the Colonel.

A file of the Hosvard ¢empuny started out to’
relieve guard, and nearing’ ztf’p‘ick’ct'wheré one
of their boys was stationed, théy wishing to try
