Perfumery.
The extensive flower farms in the
neighborhood of Nice, Grasse, Montpelier
and Cannes, in France, at Adrianople,
(Turkey in Europe,) at Broussa and
Uslak, (Turkey in Asia,) and at Mitcham,
in England, in a measure, indicate the
commercial importance of that branch
of chemistry called perfumery.
British India and Europe consume
annually, at the very lowest estimate,
150,000 gallons of perfumed spirits un
der various titles, such as eau de cologne,
essence of lavender, esprit de rose, Ac,
The art of perfumery does not, however,
confine itself to the production of scents
for the handkerchief and bath, but ex
tends to imparting odor to odorous bodies,
such as soap, oil, starch and grease,
which are consumed at the toilette of
fashion. Some idea of the importance
of this art to commerce may be formed
when we state that one of the large
perfumers of Grasse and l’aris, employ
annually 80,000 pounds of orange flow
ers, 60,000 pounds of cassia flowers
51,000 pounds of rose leaves, 32,000
pounds of jasmine blossoms, 22,000
pounds of violets, 20,000 pounds of
tuberose, 16,000 pounds of lilac, besides
ro-emary, mint, lemon, citron, thyme,
and other odorous plants in like propor
tion. The quantity of odoriferous sub
stances used in this way is far beyond
the conception of those even used to
abstract statistics, giving rise to an
amount of industry truly gratifying.
Barbkr Polks. —Thkir Origin.—
The origin of the barber's |>ole is to be
traced to the period when the barbers
Were also surgeons and practiced phle
botomy. To assist this operation, it be
ing necessary for the patient to grasp a
staff, a stick or a polo was always kept
by the barber-surgeon, together with a
ffllet or bandaging be used for tying the
patient's arm. When the pole was not
Hi use, the tape was tied to it, that they
might be both together when wanted.
On a person coming in to he bled, the
t*]>e was disengaged from the polo and
bound round the arm, and the pole was
put into the person’s hand. After it
was done with, the tape was again tied
on the pole, and, in this state, pole and
t*|«e were often hung at llio door for a
sign or notice to passengers that they
might there be bled. At length, instead
of hanging out the ideniiea! pole used
in the operation, a pole was painted with
stripes round it in imitation <>f the real
Jmilc all I its bandaging* and thus came
the sign.
Hiawatha. —Longfellow is doubtless
laughing in his sleeve at the severe
criticisms and parodies that have ap
•reared upon his late |Hiein. They have
rendered the work famous, and poured
thousands into the pocket of the author.
A New York*p'p-r says;
“When Hiawatha, in
Tioknor & Fields’ catalogue, was reac.be 1
at the Publisher's .Association Trade
Sales, in New York, last week, 2,000
copies were sold within ten minutes, at
60 and G2\ cents a volume. One dealer
tt>ok 1,000 copies, and another 500.
Sixty cents for packages of 2,000 were
offered, but i.r. Ticknor declined—he
could not till the orib is. Over 25,000
copies of Hiawatha had been previou !y
sold by Ticknor A Fields.

JULES lIAUEL, Esq., the well known perfumer
ot Chestnut street-, Philadelphia, whose choice
products are found at almost every toilet, says:
•* I am happy to say of your Cathartic Pills,
that 1 have found them and Getter 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
vii t ies for driving out diseases and curing the
sick. They are not only effectual hut safe aud
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. Aver—Sjr: 1 have taken your Pills
with great benefit, for the listlessness,* languor,
loss of appetite, and Billions headache, whien has
of late years overtaken me in the spring. A few
doses of vour 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 I feel it a pleas
ure to commend you for the good you have done
and are doing.”

to be, while my means will procure them,”
The widclv renowned S. IS. Stevens, M. D. of
Wentworth, N. 11., writes:
44 Having used your Cathartic Pills in rny prac
tice, I certify from experience, that they are an
invaluable purgative. In cases 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 eases where a purgative remedy is
required, I confidently recommend these Pills to
the public, us 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. 1 have for many
years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best
Cough medicine in the world, and these Pills are
in no wise inferior to that admirable preparation
for the Ireafineujof diseases.”

44 Dr. J. C. Ayer—-Dear Sir: I have been af
flicted from my birth with scrofula in its worst
form, and now, after twenty years’trial, ami an
untold of amount of suffering, have been com
pletely cured iu u few weeks by your Pills. With
wlul 'feelings of rejoicing I write, can only be
imagined when you realize what 1 have suffered
and how long.
“ Never until nowha-c I been free from this
loathsome disease in some shape. At times it
attacked my eyes, and made me almost blind,
besides the unendurable pain; at others it settled
in the scalp of my head, und has kept me partly
bald all my days: sometimes it came out in my
face, and kept it for months a raiv sore.
‘‘About nme 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 my hair lias commenced a healthy
growfh; all of which makes me feel already u
new person. _

“ Your Pills have cured me from a billions 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 1 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 bad troubled him for months; he told me
in u few’ days they had cured him. You make

u New Orleans, 6th 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 tho 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 costive ness
which lias grown upon me for some years,—in
deed this cure is much more important from the
fact that 1 had failed to get relief from the best
Physicians which this section of tho country af
fords, and from any of tho numerous remedies I
had taken.

44 Dr. J. <’. Aykh--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 lie 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

PROFESSOR WOOD’S HAIR RESTORA
TIVE, is, no doubt, the most wonderful dis
covery of this age of progress, for it will restore,
permanently, gray hair to its original color, cover
the’head of the bald with a most luxuriaut growth,
remove at once all dandruff aud itching, cure all
scrofula and other cutaneous eruptions, such as
scald head, etc. It will cure,as if by magic, ner
vous or periodical headache ; make the hair soft,
glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfect
ly, and the hair from failing, to extreme old age.
We could give the testimony of more than one
hundred thousand to the truth of every word we
have written. See circular and the following :
The following is from a distinguished member
of the medical profession :
St. Paul } January Ist, 1855.
Professor 0. J. Wood— Dear Sir: Unsolicited?
I send you this certificate. After being nearly
bald for a long time, and having tried all the hair
restoratives extant, and having no faith in any, I*
was induced on hearing of yours, to give It a
trial. I placed myself in the hands of a barber,
and had mv head rubbed with a good stiff brush,
and the Restorative then applied, and well rubb
ed in, till the scalp was a glow. T 1 I repeated
every morning, and in three week- The young hair
appeared, ana grew rapidly from ' last tiR
the present time, and is uow tlnck. black
strong—soft and pleas:* nl to the touch- whereas,
before, it was harsh and wiry, whut, little there
was of it, and that little was disappearing very
rapidly. 1 still use your Restorative about twice
a week, and shall soon have a good and perfect
crop ot hair. Now, if I had read of these things
—and who has not?—but have not seen hitherto
any case where any person’s hair was really ben
efited by any of the nair tonics, etc., of the day;
and it really gives me pleasure to record the re
sult of my experience. I have recommended,
your preparation to others, and it already has a
large anu general sale throughout the Territory*.
The people here know its effects, and have confi
dence in it. The supply you sent us, as whole
sale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted,
and daily inquiries are made for it. You deservo
credit for your discovery; and I, for one, return
von my thanks for the benefit it has done me, for
1 certainly hud despaired long ago cf ever effect
ing any such result. \ ours, hastily,

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 m re
moving inhumation, dandruff, and a constant 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
anything like the same pleasure or profit.
Yours, truly, J. K. BRAGG.

1 have used Professor 0. J. Wood's Hair Res
torative, and have admired its wonderful effect.

Dear Sir : I am doing an extensive travel in*

agent for Adam’s American Liniment, and would
be glad if yon would favor me with a consignment
of Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, as I feel
assured that I can introduce it in many places
where it is not known, as my head is a living
testifhonv of its valuable property, in restoring
the hair to its natural color. 1 am forty years
old, and my hair was almost white; but after
using three half pint bottles, my hair is as beau
tiful auburn as it was at sixteen, and much im
proved g in appearance, and I would not be without
a bottle on hand for.the price often. I should be
very glad to attend to auv matter connected with
the Hairßestorative. 1 have been for fifteen years
