A Healthy Body and a Clear Head.
It indigestion, constipation and biliousness
torment the body, the head cannot be clear.
These disorders react upon the brain most
hurtfully, and produce a cloudiness in the
organ of thought not experienced by a healthy
man. Happily these brain-oppressing mala
dies may be entirely dispelled by that peerless
alterative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
cheers, refreshes and invigorates the brain
and nerves, while it regulates the organs of
digestion, assimilation and bilious secretion.
It expels the morbid humors which poison
the system through the bowels and urinary
passsLges, and exerts a oowerfully invigo
rating influence as well. Its catharic action is
never irritating, violent or painful, but even,
natural and progressive. As an appetizer and
sleep promoter the Bitters is unrivalled it
mitigates the infirmities of age, relieves the
ailments peculiar to the gentler sex, arrests
premature decay, and builds up an enfeebled
ohysique.

Voluntary assertion should be considered
as grand evidence of the merits of a remedy.
Below is what one person thinks of Dr.
Graves' HEART REGULATOR as a cure for
Heart Disease:
"SirsWill you please send me a bottle of
Dr. Grave's HEART REGULATOR by express.
I see you have it advertised in the Times, and
I can say it is the best remedy for the heart
ever offered to the public.
X. HAM, Sutton, Vt."
Among the many forms of Heart Disease
are Palpitation, Enlargement, Spasms of the
Heart, Stoppage of the Action of the Heart,
Trembling all over and about the Heart,
Ossification or Bony Formation of the Heart.
Rheumatism, General -Deblity and Sinking
of the Spirits. Send your name to E. Ix
oALLS' Concord, N. H., for a circular contain
ing a list of testimonials of cures, &c.
Dr. Graves' HEART REGULATOR is for
sale by druggists at 50 cents and $1 per
bottle.
MALIGNANT AND SUBTLE INDEED is the
poison ol Scrofula, and terrible are its rav
ages in the system. They may, however, be
permanently stayed and the destructive virus
expelled from the circulation with SCOVILL'S
BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, a potent vegetable
detergent which eradicates all skin diseases,
leaving no vestage of them behind. White
swelling, salt rheum, tetter, abscesses, liver
complaint, and eruptions of every description
are invariably conquered by it. Druggists
sell it.
Palate and Stomach,
If you would have your biscuits, bread, rolls,
corn-bread, cakein short, all articles pre
pared from flour, thoroughly enjoyable and
digestible, use DOOLEY'S YEAST POWDER,
which is not only free from adulteration, but
wholesome, and makes food very nutritious
This Baking Powder is used by the most emi

THE OBJECT OP OTJR ESTABLI8HEMNT.
Our Newspaper Advertising Bureau, No. 10 Spruce
St., New York, is an establishment intended to facili
tate the convenieut and systematic placing of adver
tisements in newspapers, it is conducted upon the
pr.nciples which we conceive to be the right ones for
securing the hest results to the advertiser.
Weuudertake to represent American newspapers,
not only the newspapers of the city of ew York, and
of all other American cities. Religions, Agricultural,
and all other class newspapers,but also the small
country journals. We receive regularly and keep on
file the diily and weekly newspapers of every descrip
tion throughout the land.
CONFINED STRICTLY TO NEWSPAPER AD-
VERTISING AN7D
TO AMERICAN
NEWSPAPERS.
We confine our transactions to newspapers, and do
not accept or undertake the managemeut of other
classes of advertising, such as books, sign boards, post
ers, or job printing..
By adhering to one branch of advertising we make
ourselves masters of it.
We also restrict our dealings to newspapers published
within the geographical limits of the United States
and Dominion of Canada.
THE NATURE OF THE SERVICE WHICH IT
IS OUR BUSINESS TO RENDER
TO THE ADVERTISER,
We undertake to maintain an established credit
with every newspaper, and to have at hand a schedule
of charges tor advertising space in its columns: to be
able to quote the rates to an advei User who wishes one
or several, and to procure the prompt insertion of the
advertisement without any extra chai tor the service
rendered which service consists of quoting the price
printing or writing as many duplicates of the ad vertise
meut as may be required, forwarding the copy for in
sertion at our own expense for postaee or messenger
service examining the papers to see that the advertise-
appears, when, and in the manner that it ouch
to,checking each subsequent issue of the advertise
ment, in each paper, in a book kept for that purpose,
at all times subject to the inspection of the advertiser,
and marking plainly in each paper the advertisement
asit appears: so that when the advertiser comes (or
sends) for the purpose of having the flies examined,
tbe eye may ight promptly upon his announcement,
without the labor of searching a whole paper or page.
If errors or omissions occur, it is our duty to notify
publish' rs. at our own. expenses for labor, postage or
messenger, and to see to it tfcat the publisher of the
paper actually dues render the specified service for
which the advertiser contracted.
We promise those advertisers whs entrust their ad
vertising patronage to oar management that we will
not allow them to be oharsed, in any Instance, any
mora than tbe publishers' schedule rates: that w will
procure for them the acceptance of any advantageous
offer definitely made to them by any newspaper pub
Hher, advertising agent.or canvasser of responsibility.
W are unwilling to do work wtnout profit, and
^4|HS% it?M
-5 ^Sfe i
never offer to da so, yet in confirmitv with*the pron lis*
made above, we sometimes find it advisable.
THE SYSTEM OP ABRANGEttEN'T FOE NEWs
PAPER FILES.
We have a perfected system for Sling newspapers, a
separate space being accorded io each, and labelled
with the printed name of the paper it is intended to
accommodate A stranger can place his hand upon
any paper he wishes to examine with the same readi
ness-with which he would find a word in a dictionary,
a name in a directory, or a book in a library catalogue.
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BE EX
PENDED.
Persons who have had little experience as advertisers
of ten have a pretty clear understanding of what they
would like to do, but are entirely ignorant of the prob
able cost.
We have made out for such a person a plan of adver
tising calling for an investment of $5,000, and on sub
mitting for approval, found our customer dismayed at
the magnitude of the expense, he not having contem
plated an expenditure exceeding $20 or $300. In such
a case labor would have been saved, if at the com
mencement of the negotiation the questiou had been
askRd: "How much money are you prepared to devote
to this advertising?"
TH E CONFIDENCE OF OUR PATRONS A
MATTER OF PRIME IM-
PORTANCE.
It is a mattsr of prime importance to us, for the pur
pose of maintaining our influence with publishers
that it shall come to be understood among them that
our statements about the advertising to be done, or
not to be done, are to be relied upon, and to t.i end
our dealing with our advertising pairous must be upon
a basis of mutual confidence and good faith.
OUR U'STCMIES ENTITLED TO
BEST SERVICES.
Whenever we are doing the advertising for any indi
vidual, or firm, we consider them entitled to our best
services. If they suggest using a paper which we know
to be not the best for the purpose, we say so and give
the reasons. We often expend a good deal of time for
very small advertisers, much more than the profits on
their patronage would warrant: but we are contact, as
they entrust to us whtt they have to disburse, and in
fluence in our direction the patronage of their friends
and acquaintances.
Extract from New York "Times," June 14,1875.
Ten years ago Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell A Co, es
tablished their advertising agency in New York City
Five years age they absorbed the business conducted,
by Mr. John Hooper, who was the first to go into this
kind of enterprise. Now they have the satisfaction of
controlling the most extensive and cemp'.ete advertis
ing connection which has ever been secured, and one
which would be hardly possible in any other country
but this. They have succeeded in working down a
complex business into so thoroughly a systematic
method that no change in the newspaper system of
America can escape notice, while the, widest Informa
tion upon all topics interesting to advertisers is placed
readily at I he disposal of the public
