which the embassy will embark at Aspinwa I. to j

The Potomac is not a tithe as shallow as
the Herald's knowledge of its geography.
Vessels of a class compared with which the
lloanoke is a yacht can come up with safety
and ride at case in its spacious barb >rs. if j
is admitted that as the Potomac passes no j

Principle of the TOLU ANODYNE is a true di
velopment of the original natural opiate. In all
ease# wherever opimn has been used and its bane
ful etVects witnessod, no remark of ours can ado
quately compare the difference, and no derision is
equal to u trial. The ANODYNE contains not a
particlo of opium, and tlio most delicate constitu
tion can uso it with safety, ami the perfect, na
tural state it keeps and leaves the patient, should
recommend it t?> physician? who have loin; sought
this true development, und to patients who want

The basis of the UNIVERSAL COUCH REM
EDY is that freedom from all component?, which,
by the great error in compounding, produce com
plete inert?, instead of real cures. W e place no
restraint on its use every hour in the day, and ask
all patients to make it the natural enemy of all
Coughs, Throat, or Lung Complaints, by a perfect
freedom of application. For Inflammatory Sor<
Throat it is a perfect remedy, and for Whooping
Cough cheeks all the spasms and allows the Cough
to have its run in a quiet way.
