COFHEROUS, or MEDICATED COM-
1’OU N D—Infall ible for renewing, invigorating,
end beautifying the HAIR, removing Scurf,
Dandruff, and nil affection* of the Scalp, and
curing eruptions on the Skin, Disease* of the
Glands, Muscles and Integuments, nnd reliev
ing Sting*, Cuts, Oruisea, Sprains, &c- &c-—
With this Preparation, “there is no such word
as fail.” The first journal in America, medi
cal men of tho highest eminence, prominent citi
zens of ailprofessions, and ladies who have used
it for years, in their dressing rooms and nur
series, admit with pne sccOrd, that, for impart
ing vigor, gloss, luxuriance and curl to the hair
eradicating scurf and. dandruff, healing wounds
curing contusion,, sprains, stings, &c., and re
lieving diseases of the skin, the glands, and the
muscles, it has no etjunl among the multitude
of compounds adve'rti*ed in the public prints,
or used in private practice. In cheapness as
well as efficacy, Barry’s TricophCroUs is un
rivalled. The liUtncnke fcksh dales of the arti
cle, Have enabled the inventor to *upply it ait
retail, ot 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty
to one hundred per cent less, than the price of
any other preparation for the hair now in use.
The scientific treatise on the hair,and the skin,
(embracing valuable directions for tho qulture
and preservation ot Nature’s choicest orna
ment,) in which ' each bottle i* enclosed, is
alone worth tho money.
The affinity between tlie membranes which
constitue the skin,-and the hair which draws its
sustenance from this triple envelope, is very
close All diseases of the hair originate in tho
skin of the head. If the pores of the scalp
er~tin Vtt to 016 or 'f th p blood and otherfluids do
erua o no t circutblte freely through the small vessels
which feed tho roots with moisture, and im
part life to the fibres, the result is scurf, dand-
luff, shedding of their hair, grayness, dryness,
nnd harshness of the ligaments, and entire
baldness, as the case may be
(ttitg HHmtorg.
Stimulate the
skin to healthful action with the Tricopherous,
and the torpid vessels, recovering their uctivity,
will annihilate the disease. In all affections of
the skin, and of the substrata of muscles and
integuments, the process and the effect aro '.he
same. It is upon the skin, the muscular fibres,
and tho glands, that the Tricopherous Has its
specific action, and in all affections and injuries
of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.

THE YOUTH’S FRIEND.
S OME months since the undersigned pro
posed to publish a series of pamphlets en
titled Humble Efforts. ‘ From a variety of
causes, their publication was postponed, nnd
after a considerable delay, acting under the
advice of some of her friends, she lias conclud
ed to change her original intention, and issued
monthly journal, of moderate size, quarto form
entitled the Youth’s Friend. It will be what
its name indicates. Wo are not proposing to
publish a journal of large pretensions, either
as to the size of its pages, or tho ability of its
contents. , Having long been engaged in teach
ing the yoiing of the gentle sex, we flatter our
self that wo know something of their moral
and intellectual wants. Our object is mainly
