{ Hard Wit at the Doctors —In the 4h a
<teenth chapter of the second book
ronicles is the following:
d Asa, in the thirty-ninth year of
lis reien, was discased in his feet, until
is disease was exceeding great; yet In
his disease he sought not the Lord, ‘but
the physicians.’ And Asa slept with
his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.”—Lynn News,
A harder hit at the medical fraternity
s given in Mark’s gospel, (ch. 5, v. 26,)
‘lating toa certain woman who “had
ifered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had,
and was nothing bettered, but rather
srew worse!”
Power of Females —Aristotle may
sov that of all animals the males are
stron@er and wiser than the females, but
St Paul writes that weak things have
been chosen to confound the strong.
\dam was sublimely endowed, but wovan humbled him; “Samson was strong,
‘uf woman made him captive; Lot was
haste, but woman seduced hin ; David
was religious, but woman disturbed his
iety; Solomon was wise, but woman
teceived him; Job was patient, and was
sbbed by the devil of fortune and famry; uleerated, grieved and oppressed—
nothing provoked him to anger till woman did it.
[> A souple of Yankee girls put a
bullfroe in the hired man’s bed, to see
if they could not get him to talk. Daniel threw the frog out of the window,
and never said a word. Soon after, he
pat a half bushel chestnut kurs in the
citl’s bed, and about the time he thought
they would make the least shadow, Danfuriously. Ont went the candle, and in
went the girls; but they didn’t stick,
though the burs did. Calling to them,
he begged them to be quiet, for he only
wanted to know if they had “seen anything of that pesky bullfrog. He'd gin
tew dollars to find it.
Getting well of the Epidemic—This,
we are glad to be able to report, is about
the conditiod of Honolula. A good deal
of couch and cold still hangs on, and
leontinue to do so with those who
don’t take the best care of themselves,
involving a heavy run on pocket handkerchiefs. Rhenmatism, too, 1s very
prevatent; i altogether, we term the
present em} tically a sickly summer.
In any other country under the sun we
doubt if the like was ever known, of a
whole community prostrated with sickness of the nature of this epidemic, attacking as it did the lungs, and accompanied with a wasting fever, yet. with
no inerease in the bills of mortality —
T’o our incomparable climate is due the
praise.— Polynesian.
[= “Madam,” said old Bogen to
his boarding-housekeeper, “in primitive
times beef was a legal tender; but,
madam,” said he, emphatically, thrustine his fork into the steak, ‘all the laws
in Christendom can’t make this beef
tender.”
i> When Dr. H , and Lawyer
4 ——, were walking arm in arm, a wag
said to a friend, “those two are just
ial to one highwayman.” “Why?”
as the response. “Because,” rejoined
he wag, “it is a lawyer and a doctor—
vour money or your life.

COUGH, DISEASED CHEST or LUNGS.
Dr. JOHN P. BULL'S: PECTORAL BALSAM
Is a Safe, Speedy Certain & Permanent Cure.
The PrcTORAL BALSAM possesses great advantage
over allother Cough Medicines inmany respects. In the
first place, it
Cures the Cough without producing Sickness
As allother Cough remedies do. In the second place, it
always Curkks the DISEASEina FEW Days, never fails
andi PLEASANT TO TAKE—is purely vegetable and uniform in its action, and no unpleasant consequence will
follow its use.
Another reason why it should be preferred, itis prepared from the receipt of an old and experienced practitioner who has devoted Thirty Years to the study and
investigotion of diseases of the Lungs and Chest. Most
patients will not take the ordinary cough remedies from
the fact that they are unpleasant to take, uncertain in
their action and always producing sickness at the Stomach.
Tbe PECTORAL BALSAM is pleasant totake,is certain
to cure the dis >, will not sicken the Stomach, but will
relieve and curethe Co by allaying irritation, promoting expectoration and procuring QUIET and REFRESHING
SLEEP.
The most obstinate Bronchal and Pulmonary diseases
are cured by the use of this remedy in from 6 to 10 days.
Many eases of seemingly, hopeless Consumption have
Deen permanen . by the continued use of th
medicine. Never give up while there is a bottle to be
had.
Any numberof Testimonials have been received by
the Proprictor h the request that they might be
published but he ll confidence in the Balsam and
believing that the ar » will recommend itself, I have
not deemed it expedient to publish them, It only requires oneor two doses to satisfy any one that they have
atlast found a remecy that cures COUGHS and COLDS
and without sickening the Stomach,

Quit Drinking Poisonous Liquors. .
Patent Improued Process for Making
All Kinds of Liquors & Vinegar,
INSTANTLY, by the use of
LACOUR’S ESSENTIAL OILS.
These vils are obtained bydistillation at the Chemics1]
Laboratory, Parish of Jefferson, of Pierre Lacow, auth r
of Lacour’s Chemical Analyois, Lacour’s Chemical manipulations, Lacour on the Manufacture of Liquors, &c.
Purchasers are particularly requested to return the
flasks and obtain their money, if the oil does not give
perfect satisfaction,
LACOUR’S OIL OF COGNAC converts neutral spirit
to a superior imitation of Imported Brandies, viz :—
Otard, Sazerac, ett Cognac, Poultney, Seignette,
United Vineyard Propriete stillion and Lendon
Dock Branc These L ars will have a full fruity
flavor, and a beautiful, sparkling color. Common Rectified Whiskey will be changed by the use of the oil of
Cognac to New York Brandy, Pine Apple Brandy, Common Cog : Bra &e,
LAC °S OIL OF RYE changes Rectified Whisky
to Monongahela Rye Whiskey, Old Virginia Malt Whiskey. Bourbon Whiskey, &¢
OIL OF CEDRAT ch s common Rectified !Whiskey toOid Irish Malt Whiskey, and a superior article ot
Scotch Whis
OIL OF P. CH changes commou Whiskey to Virginia Peach Brandy, &c, Oil of Peach and Oil of Cognac
will convert common Whi 3 Apple I udy.
RIL OF GIN conve > poorest Whiskey to Hol
land Gin, Schiedam Schnapps, Rose Gin, Swan Gin, En
glish Gin, &ce.
LACOUR’S CONCENTR ACID will, in five
hours after being mixed, age five gallons of good
Vine and twenty-five gallons of water to thity gallons of the most acid Vin that can be found in the
market. By the use of rour’s Concentrated Acid,
vinegar can be made for one dollarand sixty cents per
barrel,
FOR MAKING LIQUORS, Lacour’s Oils require no
preparation—only pour the oil inte the Whiskey and
shake well. The Liquors thus made will have a fine natural aroma, a full, rich, oily taste ; a beautiful transparentcolor anda fine bead. Lacoypr’s oils exert three distinct properties in converting common whisky to brandy
gin, &c. The first property combines with and subsides
in the form of floculent particles the whole of the erain
oil, (Amylie Alcohol.) The Whiskey is thus deprived ot
that pecniiar irritating and burning taste, and becomes
a neutral spirit; the second property consists in an oily
mucillaginous taste imparted to the liquor, which renders it mellow, : imparts an appearance of great age;
the third pre y is exhibited in the rich vinous nutty
odor that is imp ato the liquer, which reuders distinction from the genuine brands impossible.
These oils are put upin quart flasks ; each flask con
tains sufficient oil fer making three hundred gallons of
liquor, Fulland comprehensive directions accompany
the bottles. Pric 0 per bottle,
Fer sale at the corner of St. Charles and Poydrasstreet
7 One bottle of these Oils, five in number, will be
securely packed and shipped, with bill of lading, to any
part of the country, upon the receipt of $10,00, to the
address of P. LACOUR, »w Orlaans.
Purchasers are requested. as a guarantee of good
faith, to furnish us the name efany house in New Orleans
and we will ship them a of the oils. Ifthey do
not perform all that is claimed for them, they will cost
