READ IT is well known to Doctors and to Ladies that Women are subject to numerous diseases pe culiar to their sex—such as Suppression of the Menses, Whites, Painful M’lithly ‘Periods,’ Rheu matism of the Back and Womb, Irregular Men struation, Hemorrhage, or Excessive ‘Flow,’ and Prolapsus Interior Fall ing of the Woral). These diseases have sel dom been treated successfully. The profession has sought dilligently for some remedy that wo’ld enable them to treat these diseases with success. At last, that remedy has been discovered by one of the most skilful physicians in the State of Georgia. The remedy is Bradfield’s Female Regulator, It is purely vegetable, and is put up in Atlan ta, by BRAbFIELD & CO.

This derange meut produces deficient nutrition and assimila tion. By assimilatiou I mean that process by which the nutriment of the food is converted into blood, and thence into the solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus impaired, having the slightest predisposition to pulmon ary disease, or if they take cold, will be very liable to have Consumtion of the Lungs in some of its forms; and I hold that it will lie impossi ble to cure any case of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy as similation. The very first thing to be done is to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dis eased mucus and slime, which is clogging these organs so that they cannot perform their func tions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to a healthy action. For this purpose the surest and best remedy is Schenek’s Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all the dead and morbid slime that is causing dis ease and decay in the whole system. They will clear out the liver of all diseased bile that has accumulated there, and rouse it up to anew and healthy action, by which natural and healthy bile is secreted. The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus clean sed bv the use of Sclienck’s Mandrake Pills; but there remains in the stomach an excess of acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bowels the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and support. It is in a con dition like this that Sehenciv’s Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable remedy ever dis covered, It is alkaline, and it use will neutra lize all excess of acid, making the stomach sweet and fresh; it will give permanent tone to this important organ, and create a good, hearty appetite, and prepare the system for the first process of a good digestion, and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. After this preparatory treatment, what remains to cure most cases of Consumption is the free and per severing use of iSchenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies the blood, aiid is readily absorbed into the cir culation. and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, whether in the form of abscesses or tubercles, and then assists Nature to expel all the disease matter, in the form ot free expectoration, xvhen once it ripens. It is then, by the great healing and purifying properties of Schenck’s Piiimonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sound, and my patient is cured. The essential tiling to be done in curing Con. sumption is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion, so that the body will grow in tlesh and get strong. If a person has diseased lungs.—a cavity or abscess there, —the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, so long as the system is below par. What is necessary to cure Is anew order of things, —a good appe tite, a good nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and get fat; then Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripen and he thrown off in large quantities, and the person regain health and strength. This is the true and only plan to cure Coi sumption, and if a person is very bad, if the lungs are not entirely destroy ed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if there is enough vitality left in the other to heal up, there is hope. 1 have seen many persons cured with only one sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age. This is what Schenck’s Medizinesjxv ill do to cure Consumption. They will clean out the stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up a good digestion, and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the system of all the disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form may be. It is important that while using Scheuck’s Medicines, care should be exercised not to take cold; keep in-doors in cold and damp weather; avoid night air. and take out-door exercise only in a genial and warm sunshine. I xvish it distinctly understood that xvhen I recommend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold, while using my Medicines, 1 do so for a special reason. A man who has but par tially recovered from the effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a relapse than one who has been entirely cured; and it is precisely the same in regard to Consumption. So long as the lungs are not perfectly healed, just so long is there imminent danger of a full return of the disease. Hence it is that Jso strenuously cau tion pulmonary patients against exposing themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives’lungs are a mass of sores, which the least change of atmosphere xvill inflame. The grand secret of mv success xvith my Medicines consists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead of pro voking it, as manv of the faculty do. An in flamed lung cannot, xvith safety to the patient, be exposed to the biting blasts of Winter or the chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It shoul be careiullv shielded from all irritating influ ences. The utmost caution should be observed in this particular, as without it a cure under almost any circumstances is an impossibility. The person should be kept on a wholesome and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines con tinued until the body has restored to it the nat ural quanitv of flesh and strength. I was mvsolf cured by this treatment of the xvorst kind of Consumption, and have lived to get fat and hearty these many years, with one lung mostly gone. 1 have cured thousands since, and very many have been cured by this treatment whom I have never seen. About the First of October I expect to take possession of my new building, at the North east Corner of Sixth and Arch Sreets, where I shall be pleased to give advice to all who may require it. Full directions accompany all my Remedies, so that a person in any part of the world can be readily cured by a strict observance of the same. - J. 11. SCHENOK, M D„ Philadelphia. JAS. W.

Her. Dr. Cooley, of East. Granville, Mass., one of the best of men, intro duced the following lines into a ser mon, delivered after he was fourscore years old. The allusion to his own daughters, who died at the age of 20 years, makes it probable that the lines are his own. If they are not, we would be pleased to have the name of the author.— Ed*, of N. Y. Ohs. I’m growing old ’tis surely so, And yet how short it. seems Since I was blit a sportive child, Enjoying childish dreams. I cannot see the change that comes With such au even pace; I mark not when the wrinkles full Upon my fading face. I know I’m old and yet my heart Is just as young and gay As e’er it was before my locks Os bright brown turned to gray; I know, these eyes, to other eyes, Look not so bright and glad As once they looked, and yet ’tis not Because my heart’s more sad. I never watched wit h purer joy The floating clouds and glowing skies, While glittering tears of rapture fill These old and fading eyes. •I’ve seen the flower grow old and pale, And withered more'than I; I’ve seen it lose its every charm, Then droop away and die. And then I’ve seen it rise again, Bright as the beaming sky, And young and pure aud beautiful, And felt that so shall I. Then, what if I aui growing old, My heart is changeless still, And God has given me enough This living heart to till. I live to see the sun go down And lengthening shadows throw Along the ground, while o’er my head The clouds in crimson glow. I see beyond the gorgeous clouds A country bright and fair, Which needs no sun—God and the Lamb Its light and beauty are. I seem to hear the wondwus song Redeemed sinners sing, And my heart leups to join the throng, To praise the Heavenly King. I seem to see two cherub ones As hand in hand they go, With gpjden curls and snowy wings. Whose eyes with rapture glow. When I was young I called them mine ; Now, Heaven’s sweet ones are they, But I shall claim my own again When I am called away. This is what Coleridge says : “If you wish to be assured of the truth of Christianity, try it. Believe, and if thy belief be right, that insight which gradually transmutes faith into knowl edge, will be the reward of thy belief.” To be vitally convinced of the truth of “the process of renewal described by Scripture, a man must put himself within that process.” His own expe rience of its truth, and the confined assurances of others, whom, if candid, he will feel to be better than himself, will be the most sufficing evidence. THE SO WEBS BE TUBE. Bobold there went forth a Sower Into the Master’s groat field, To sow the good seed of the King dom, Trusting in God for the yield. At morning, at noon, aud at even, Untroubled with doublings or fears, Broadcast the good seeds have been scattered, Though often in weakness and tears. All have not been equally fruitful, — Some seeds perchance have been lost, And some have but budded and blossomed, To be nipped by untimely frost. Some seeds by the wayside have fallen, On ground that was sterile aud bare, And been only food for the spoiler— Caught away by the fowls of the air. Among the rank thistles and bram bles, Have fallen some precious seeds, Which likewise have proved unfruit ful— Choked out by the fast growing weeds. And some upon stony places Have vainly endeavored to bide, For having no deepness of moiature, They sprang up, but withered and died. Bat some imo good ground have fallen, Where shielded from heat and from cold, Have rooted, and budded, and blos somed, And promised an hundred-fold. And the Reaper hss followed the Sower, And gleaned e’re the sowing was done, — Some sheaves have been borne to the garner, Au earnest of what is to come. When the angels shall come with their sickles To gather the Master’s own, Many ripe shocks of wheat shall be gathered From the seed that the Sower has sown. A BE A UTIFUL SENTIMENT Life bears us on like the stream of a mighty river. Our boat at fiißt glide* down the narrow channel through the playful murmuring of the little brook and the winning of the grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads; the flowers on the bank seem to offer themselves to our young hands, we are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauties around us; but the stream hurries on, aud still our hands are empty. Our course in youth and manhood is along a wider and deeper flood, aud amid objects more striking aud magnificent. We are animated at the moving picture of enjoyment and industry passing around us—are excited at some short-lived disappoint ment. The stream bears us on aud our joys and griefs are alike left be hind us. We may be shipwrecked— we cannot be delayed; whether rough or smooth, the river hastens to its home, till the roar of the ocean is in his ears, aud the tossing of the waves is beneath our feet, and tho land les sens from our eyes, and iue floods are lifted up around us, and we take our leave of earth and its inhabitants, uu til of farther voyage t here is no wit ness save the Infinite and Eternal. Tfio only way to avoid evil, is to fill up every passing Lour to the glory of God- Yuli cannot escape from anxiety and labor; it is the destiny of hurnan ifcy- ______ If sin is turned out of our hearts by grace, it will be turned out of our houses too. Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please. Happiness grows at our own fire sides and is not to be picked up iu the strangers garden. The Day of Rest. —Never was a more blessed institution than Sunday, the sacred day of rest from labor.— For the soul’s health aud the body’s health of the human race, ou at least one day in seveu there should be an ever recurring intermission of daily toil. Thus let u man attain to a peri od of three score and ten he has gain ed a holiday of ten years duration, even if his lot has been labor for the remaining three score years. Let childhood be taught to use, and man hood discreetly use, this blessed breath ing time, as a day on which to raise the thoughts beyond the world, not less than for purposes of innocent re creation. Wo commend the following sensi ble article takeu from the Jiur&l Car olinian to the careful consideration of our farming friuds: llow llic Factory Helps the Farm. “It will cost you a bushel of wheat to send another bushel to the New Y rk market,” a wise one remarked to a Western colonist. “We don’t intend to send our wheat to Now York,” was the reply; “we are putting up mills to grind it for home consumption.” These colonists are on the high road to success. They will not only make wheat., but at the same time a mar ket. We at the South should be wil ling to learn a lesson from the West in this matter. We make cotton. Can we not also make a home market for it, and thus make the factory help the farm? On this point the follow ing remarks from the New York Tri bune are worthy of thoughtful atten tion. “The introduction of manufactures in*o agricultural communities brings together the essential elements of wealth-producing enterprise, establish ing the shortest circuit of communica tion. This is in accordance not only with the laws of political economy, but of that higher order whereby Nature conducts the commerce of the mate rial world. The farmers and manufac turer each has needs which the other supplies; and to bring the two into such close connection that exchang es can be made with the least possible cost, is a saving that must commend itself to the dullest mind. If our grain can be bartered for cloth made within sight of the field where it grew, that is plainly a better deal than send* ing the same grain to Liverpool to pay for fabrics woven in Yorkshire. “ihe factory adds value to the farm by affording u home mai ket A home market saves the charges, rLks and waste Os long carriage, the profits of intervening traders, and interest ou delayed returns, and gives merchanta ble worth to products that will not pay such charges. Better still, a home market is a sure market, litt’e subject to the fluctuations incident to foreign demand. Regular home consump tion steadies prices„drives' outjspeculu tion, and gives to intelligent fore thought a basis for reasonable calcu lation.” i'annera, Plant Fruit Tree* ! If people, generally, were as foud of cultivating fruit as they arc of eating it, what a plentiful slippy of this be Lt - ful luxury we should have, and how much betWr it would be for the inter ests of all. We frequently gaze with amazement upon farms, tbau which uoue could be better adapted to ;he cultivation of nearly every kind of tree fruit, but upon ivliich such a thing as a fruit tree is as great a rar ity us snow iu harvest. We fail to understand how it is possible that peo ple can be so indifferent to their own comfort and their own interests. If the settiug out of a hundred or two choice peach, pear, apple and plum trees, involved an outlay of as many bundled dollars, we could then un derstand why there are so many farms almost devoid of fruit of any kind, but when such is uot the case, wneu fifty dollars would clear the entire expense, leaving out of the question the cost of planting, which is trifling, we confess to utter amazement, aud not uufre queutly to a feeling of indignation.— The farmer who does not cultivate as much fruit as is sufficient for the lar gest possible wants of bis family, is little less than a barbarian, for cer tainly be must be wanting iti one of the broadest characteristics of true civilization, when he deprives not on ly himself, but his family, of what cau uot be regarded as other than the cheapest, most wholesome, and, though to some it may seem a stretch of im agination, elevating luxuries. The cul tivation of flowers. It is refining iu its tendencies. Where there is au abundance of fruit, there is necessari ly a smaller consumption of meat, and, consequently, less grossness of physi cal as well as xneutal habit. Go to work, then, farmers, and es pecially those of you who have here tofore neglected to plant fruit trees. Do not allow another season to pass over your heads without being able to say that, in a few years, you have a reasonable prospect of a crop of fruit sufficient for your families aud for the friends who may need it. The Tomato us a Med ieinc. Dr. Bennett, a professor of some celebrity, considers it as an invaluable article of diet, and ascribes to it very important medical properties: 1. That the tomato is one of the most powerful aperients of the Mate ria Medica. and that in all. those af fections of the lm r and organs where calomel is indispensable, it is probably the most effective and least harmful remedial agent known to tho profes sion. 2. That a chemical extract pill can be obtained from it which will alto gether supercede the use of calomel iu the cure of disease. 3. That lie has successfully treated diarrhoea with this article uloue. 4. That when used as au article of diet, it is almost a sovereign remedy for dispepsia and indigestion. 5. That the citizens in ordinary should make use of it either raw, cooked, or iu the form of a catsup, with their daily food, as it is a most healthy article. Are Oats an Exhausting Cr >p?— As the regular rotation in Eastern farming consists of clover, corn, oats, wheat or rye, it is worth while to con sider if oats are really the non-ex hausting' crop they are claimed to be. In the ash of oat straw there is over fifteen per cent, of potash, while the percentage of phosphoric acid is very light. Oats canuot, therefore, be con sidered as a non-exhausting crop, as this is a large amount of potash to carry off, and potash i3 a substance that we find difficult to replace. As oats, therefore, seem to withdraw principally this alkali from the soil, either lime or ashes is indicated as a manure suitable for this crop, and in practice these are found beneficial. Lime in its action on soils is known to liberate and render soluble the potash contained in tnem, and hence its fa vorable effects as a fertilizer. —Farmer & Artizen. Peach Stains. —Peach stains can be removed from linen or muslin with tomato juice. Fruit Stains. —Use oxalic acid. Be careful of its using. fgk, A rising poet, of an ardent temperament, thus describes some of the wonderful performances of “Dime Nature:” “She next made woman—so the story goes— With an improved material and art 5 Gave her a form, the choicest one of those That make aught beautiful, and to her heart A power of soften m m ; and forced the rose Its blushing tint to her soft cheek impart; Then chopp'd the the rainbow up, and with the chipi She weut to work aud finished off her lips.” 8. If. Smith rLjProprtetor** - Why, How Bad You Look I ' i ijniiut Don’t say that. \\ by not give the poor, sickly one an encouraging word, instead ? It will be far better. You may bo startled’to find yonr friend, or your neighbor, or some stranger whom you meet, looking so ill But don't show your surprise; keep vour self-pps seßsion, and do not attempt to-express sympathy by telling him he foofcfc ‘poorly,’ or ‘terribly,’ or ‘shockingly.’—* One such word is sometimes enough to topple over all a j>oor fellow’s course and leave him shivering in the qepnis of despondency.
