they were there “every time.” If he felt only" in

weak and invalid children under her charge, with the
most happy and gratifying results." We have re-
ceived over a hundred reams of such certificates, but
no advertisementis so effective as what people them
selves say of a good article. Our fortune and our
reputation is at stake. The original quality and
high character of these goods will be sustained under
every and all circumstances. They have already ob-
tained a sale in every town, village,.parish and ham-

come as near our name and style as they can, and
because a good article cannot be sold as low as a
poor one. they find some support frOm parties who

Fruit-Preserving Solution.
For the preservation of all kinds of
Fruits, Vegetables, Jellies, Wllcs, linen.
Etc, Etc, Etc,
Without Sugar and without Expensive Seal-
ing or Airtight Jars.
One Bottle will preserve 128 Pounds of Fruit
or 48 Gallons of Wine or Cider,
CHEAP, HEALTHFUL, EFFECTUAL.
Fruits preurved by this Solution are as
good as the best “canned" fruits, while the
use of the Solution avoids the trouble of
sealing, costly jars or cans, keeping from the
air and light. frequent examinations, and the
many other troubles and annoyances well
known to every housewife.
The Solution is perfectly free from objec-
tion on the score of health. Professor Beebe,
under date, “U. S. Naval Labrator , New
York, September 14. 1864, says; “ he Solu-
tion is perfectly free from Meow»; rm the score
of healthfulneu.” ,
A. A. Hayes, M. D., Slate Assayer ofllfassa-
chucetts, says: “Analysis proves that nothing
is added to the fruit which is objectionable
in articles of food, or decidedly foreign in
origin. My trials to induce fermentation in
the prepared fruit failed, and I am confident
that fruit prepared as he directs will long re-
sist fermentive changes.” ,
James R. Chilton do 00., the Uekbrated
Analytical Chemists, New York, says: “The
prepared fruits upon which we experiment-
ed had been mixed with the Solution, and
were found to resist all attempts to generate
fermentation.

Emu Hones, Aston PLACE, N. Y.—-In the early
part of February, 1865, I was suffering from a violent
couch, for which I had been treated durin: six
months previously without benefit. I had Night-
Swsats which completely prostrated me. In the
ovening.hoarseness would come on, which would
prevent me from speaking above a whisper. I had
then had two attacks of hemorrhage from the lungs.
My Family Physician assured me that he could do
no more for me, yet I was growing rapidly worse,
and had been compelled to leave business for nearly
two months. All my symptoms indicated, unmis-
takably, the presence of CONSUMPTION. In the
beginning ofFebrnery, Mr, Hmnx Frauen, Traum-
rer of the American Bible Society. presented me
with; bottle of the PBEPARED PRESCRIPTION.
In a few days, my appetite (which I had entirely
loal,) returned; within a week my cough had almost
left me; and in less than two weeks, the Night
Sweats were broken up. Thenceforwardl regained
strength rapidly, and am now regularly attending to
my duties as clerk to the AMERICAN BIBLE 8001-,
ety, in whose employment I have been nine years,
I am now enjoying good health. Your PRESCRIP-
TION effected a CURE, when my friend. deepened

“The scene is laid in a New England vil-
page; the plot is most admirably conceived
and the style is eminently chaste and pure.
The whole tone of the work is elevating and
ennobling ; at the same time the story is‘in-
tensly interesting and exciting, obliging one
who has commenced the reading to finish,
even to the laying aside of all ordinary du-
ties. ‘Aunt Lydia’ and her proverbs would
never be forgotten by the reader. ‘Hope,’
the heroine ofthe story, is a model in many
respects, and young ladies would do well to
imitate her example. We predict for ‘Sher-
brooke’ an immense sale."

Rules to Preserve Health and Life to a Hundred
Years,—have been read by thousands, and have cer-
rieglpopp to allhreaders, and health to all who have
In ed ts tone in s.
Dr. Fitch’s aim irI this new book is to direct hub-
its so as to avoid indisposlllOfl.—t0 manage indig-
osition so as to prevent disease,-and to treat di-
ease so as to restore health. He would cure a hack-
ing cough, and thus prevent consumption; he
would clear a husky throat, and thus stop croup or
diptheria; he‘would regulate a disturbed state of
the stomach and bowels, and thus stay dysentery
and cholera ; but should any diseases supervene. he
at once comes to our aid with the exact remedlel
necessary to a prompt cure. He glances first as
these diseases w ich the sick cannot well doctor,
but which require the aid of a capable physician ,
and that when properly 'and timely treated, are al-
ways curable. These diseases, he says are Cou-
sum tion, Bronchitis, Catarrhs, Asthma,I)lsesses of
the cart, Dyspepsia, Headaches, Liver Complaints
Piles, Kidne Complaints, Female Complaints,
Rheumatism, curalgla, Skin Diseases, nndull dil-
eases and discoloartions, freckles, .moths, ac"
which attack and destroy the complexron.
The second great class of diseases, which the -
tient or hi 3 friends can always doctor. and ~ or
which infallible remedies are given. are Diphtheria
Croup, Scarlet Fever, Measles. Whooping Coufh,
Typhoid Fever, Dysentery, Astatic Choie Che or
Morbus, Cholera lnfantum,..Diarrhoeu 0 adult.
and children, Colds. Congestion of the Lun , Lung
Fever, Burns, Erysipelas, 82c. Remedies or_eac
of these are given., which the sick or their friendl
can prepare and successfully administer.
He next gives the proper treatment of the Heir
to preserve both in health and
beauty through life. He next gives a remedy for
Sea-sickness. Finally he gives receipts for proper-
ing Hair Dye, Cologne Water, and Tooth Powder-,1“.
unsurpassed by any other prepprutions.
