Hew Versions of the Bible. In this country and also in England, mw versions of the Bible are now in the coarse of publication. The “ American Bible Union ” has a revised edition of the Scriptures in press, which is exciting groat attention. Speoimens of the plan adapted in this revision have been sent to England, and we notice that the plan of the work is highly commended by ao«e of the ablest and best critics. The laat number of the London Literary Joornal, after stating that the American Mltsion “ appears to be dictated by a sound judgment,” adds that, “ While oW trans-Atlantic friends are thus lauda bly engaged in the work of anew ver sion, a publication somewhat akin to it is favorably progressing here. This is : “(he English Bible : containing the OH and New Testaments, according to the authorized Version; newly divided iuto Paragraphs; with concise Introduc tions to the several Books, and with ilMps and Notes illustrative of the Chron ology, History, and Geogrophy of the Holy Scriptures; containing also the most remarkable Variations of the An cient Versions, and the chief results of modern Criticism.” It says, “ the divis ions into sections ami paragraphs, instead of the old one of chapters and verses, 3a calculated materially to assist the stu dontof Holy Writ, while the notes are judicious and concise, and the typogra phy excellent. —Boston Transcript.

The weather be ing rather cold, they in the utmost kind ness and with the truest hospitality, gave fthier bipeb companion the middle of the bed, some lying on either side of him, «od others acting the part of a quilt.— (heir warmth prevented him being in loved by exposure.

The whole of the right side and leg in particular was in a most shocking state. Something in the hurry of the moment Was applied, which caused the flesh to peel off almost to the bone, and rendered her utterly unable to move, she was carried to bed, medical assistance called in, and her recovery despaired of; it so happened, that a friend who paid a visit that day, had just been cured of a dreadfully bad leg by Holloway’s Ointment and Pills, and she recommended the same, the Pills and Ointment were accordingly bought and used, by continuing them for two weeks, she was perfectly well, and has written most gratefully to Professor Holloway for the cure effected. tar Those who have used Profcssof Wood’s Hair Restorative are sufficiently cogni zant of its excellent qualities, but others may not be aware that it is no ordinary article. It was discovered by Professor Wood, an able chemist and professor of that science, while experiment ing to find a remedy for the change and falling out of his own hair. Its wonderful effects in his own case and that of some private friends, and their urgent requests, induced him to offer it to the public. —Baltimore Dispatch. For sale by Bexj. G.

Are Curing the Sick to an extent never before known ofany Medicine. Invalids, Rend and Judge for Yourselves. JULES lIAUEL, Esq., the well known perfumer ol Chestnut street, Philadelphia, whose choice products are found at almost every toilet, says: “ I am happy to say of your Cathartic Pills, that I have iound them a better family medicine for common use, than any other within my knowledge. Many of my friends have realized marked benefits from them and coincide with me in believing that they possess extraordinary virtues for driving out diseases and curing the sick. They are not only effectual but safe and pleasant to be taken, qualities which must make them valued by the public, when they are known.* The venerable Chancellor Wardlaw, writes from Baltimore, 15th April, 1854: “ Dr. J. C. Aykr—Sir: I have taken your Pills with great benefit, for the listlessness,’ languor, loss of uppetite, and Billious headache, which has of late years overtaken me in the spring. A few doses of your Pills cured me. I have used your Cherry Pectoral many years in my family for coughs and colds with dnfailing success. You make medicines which cure, and l feel it u pleas ure to commend you tor the good you have done and are doing.” John F. Beatty, Esq., Sec. of the Penn. Railroad Cos., says: u /\i. R. R. Office, Philadelphia, Dec. 13.1853. “Sir I take pleasure in adding my testimony to the efficacy of your medicines, having derived very material benefit from the use of both your Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. lam never with out them in my family, nor shall I ever consent to be, while ray means will procure them.” The widely renowned S. S. Stevens, M. I), of Wentworth, N. 11., writes: “ Having used your Cathartic Pills in my prac tice, I certify from experience, that they are an invaluable purgative. In rases of disordered functions of the liver, causing headache, indiges tion, costiveness, and the great variety of disea ses that follow, they are a surer remedy than any other. In all cases where a purgative remedy i*s required, I confidently recommend these Pills to the public, as superior to any other I have ever found. They are sure in their operation, and perfectly safe, qualities which make them an in valuable article for public use. I have for many years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best Cough medicine iu the world, and these Pills are in no wise inferior to that udmirablc preparation for the treatment of diseases.” “Acton, Me., Abo. 25. 1853. “Dr. J. C. Aykr— Dear Sir: I have been af flicted from my birth with scrofula in its worst form, and now, after twenty years’ trial, and an unfold of amount of suffering, have been com pletely cured in a few weeks by your Pills. With what feelings of rejoiciug 1 write, can only be imagined when you realize wh.it I have suffered and how long. “ Never until now ha**e I been free from this loathsome disease in some shape. At times it attacked my eyes, aud made me almost blind, besides the unendurable puin ; at others it settled in the scalp of iny head, and has kept me partly bald all my days; sometimes it came out in my face, and Kept it for months a raw sore. ‘‘About nine weeks ago I commenced taking your Cathartic Pills, and now am entirely free from the complaint. My eyes are well, my skin is fair, and mv hair has commenced a healthy growth; all of which makes mo feel already a new person. “ Hoping this statement may be the means of conveying information that shall do good to oth ers, lam, with every sentiment of gratitude, Yours, Ac., MARIA RICKER.” “ I have known the above named Maria Ricker from her childhood, and her statement is strictly true. ANDREW J. MESERVE, Overseer of the Portsmouth Manuf g. Cos. * Capt. Joel Pratt, of the ship Marion, writes from Boston, 20th April, 1854. “ Your Pills have cured me from a billious at tack which arose from derangement of the Liver, which had become very serious. I had failed of any relief by my Physician, and from every rem edy I could try, but a few doses of your Pills have completely restored me to health. I have given them to my children for worms, with the best effects. They were promptly cured. I re commended them to a friend for costiveness, which hud troubled him for months; he told me in a few days they had cured him. You make the best medicine in the world, and I am free to say so.” Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the Supreme Court, whose brilliant abilities have made him well known, not only in this, but the neighboriug States. “New Orleans, s th April, 1854: “ Sir: I have great satisfaction in assuring you that myself and family have been very much ben efited by your medicines. My wife was cured two years since, of a severe and’dangerous cough, by your Cherry Pectoral, and since then has en joyed perfect health. My children have several times been cured from attacks of the Influenza and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for these complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have en tirely cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness which has grown upon me for some years,—in deed this cure is much more important from the fact that I had failed to get relief from the best Physicians which this section of the country af fords, and from any of the numerous remedies I had taken. “ You seem to us. Doctor, like a providential blessing to our family, and you may well suppose we are not unmindful of it. Yours respectfully, LEAVITT THAXTER.” “Senate Chamber, Ohio. April sth 1854. “ Dr. J. C. Aykr—Honored Sir : I have made a thorough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by your agent, and have been cured by them of the dreadful rheumatism .under which be found me suffering. The first dose relieved me, and a few subsequent doses have entirely removed the dis ease. I feel in better health now than for some years before, which I attribute entirely to the ef fects of your Cathartic Pills. Yours with great respect, LUCIUS B. METCALF.” The above are all from persons who are public ly known where they reside, and who would not make these statements without a thorough con viction that they were true.

Wood —Dear Sir: Unsolicited I send you this certificate. After being nearly bald for a long time, and having tried alfthe hair restoratives extant, und haring no faith in any, I Was induced on hearing of yours, to give ft a' trial. I placed myself in the hands of a barber, and had my head rubbed with a good stiff brush, and the Restorative then applied, und well rubb ed in, till the scalp was a glow. This I repented every morning, and in three weeks the young hair appeared, ana grew rapidly from August last lift the present time, and' is now thick, black and strong—soft and pleasant to the touch • whereas, before, it was harsh and wify, What Rule (hero was of it, and that little was disappearing very rapidly. I still use your Restorative übout twice a week, and shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair. Xow, if I had read of these things —and wholiaSrtrt?—but have not seen hitherto any case where any person’s hair was really ben efited by of the hair tonics, etc., of the dav; and it really gives me pleasure to record the re sult of my experience. I h'avo recommended your preparation to others, and it already has a large and general gale throughout the Territory. The people here know its effects, and have Conti deuce in it. The supply you Sent us,' as Whole sale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted, und daily inquiries are made for it. You deserve credit for your discovery • and I, for one, relufu you my thanks for the benefit it has done me, for I certainly had despaired long ago of ever effect ing nay such result.

Broolf.eld, Jan. 12; 1855. Professor Wood— Dear Sir : Having made a trial of your Hair Restorative, it gives me pleas ure to say, that its effect has been excellent in re moving inflamation, dandruff, and a fc'o’flstaDt ten dency to itching, with which I have been trou bled from my childhood; and has also restored my hair, which was becoming gray, to its origi nal color. I have used no other article, with any thing like the same pleasdre or profit. Yours, truly, J. if. BRAGG. State of Illinois, Carlisle-, June 27, 1858. I have used Professor 0. J.

My hair wub becoming, as I thought, permanent ly gray, but by the use of the Rstorative, it has resumed its original color, and, I have uo doubt, permanently so. ‘ SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. 114 MarJcetet., St, Louis, March 5, 1855.
