For many years past I have devoted special attention to the functions and diseases of the digestive organs, and have been particularly impressed by the fact that digestive weakness and irritability are fearfully extending. Intemperate and irregular living, and the thousand-and-one modes by wh/eh uU the powers of body and mind are over-stimulated and over-tasked, have wrought an alarming change on the constitution and temperament of the people. Healthy digestion which IS the source and sine qud non of all sound health, is already almost unkpown. Whoever fails to recognize the change and the eflFects of over-civilized and artificial habits of life, is incompetent to treat successfully the prevailing diseases and ailments of the present day.

The result of these efforts is the pill which is now offered to the public. I can in truth claim this pill to be the result of close and careful observations extending through a period of nearly forty years, for during that whole period I have endeavored in my practice to neutralize, modify, and counteract the injurious effects of cathartics, retaining at the same time their useful properties. These Pills are administered with rafety and advantage to patients who can use no other cathartics, and only the mildest tonics. Instead of thin and watery dis- charges, attended with griping pains, and followed by weakness and more con- firmed constipation, their usual effects are more copious natural evacuations, without the least irritation, tenesmus or other disagreeable sensation, succeeded by restored appetite, renewed tonicity and strength of all the functions of diges- tion. The formula from which they are prepared has been subjected to various modifications during the past five years, for during that time I have carefully watched their effects in almost every instance in which they have been adminis- tered, with a view to their adaptation to the greatest number of cases. And here I would caution all who are affected with special diseases against trusting to this or any other general remedy, but rather go at once to your physician, who will prescribe what is specially adapted to your case. I bespeak a fair and impartial test of these Pills, and let them be sanc- tioned or condemned according to their merits. I hope they will be recognized by the profession as a valuable remedy, and ordered as freely as any other article from the druggist. • MAXIMS OF ORDER AND NEATNESS. 1.

Few disorders are more common and give rise to more distressing forms of disease than costiveness. Daily and complete evacuation of the bowels is abso- lutely necessary to health. In this complaint, the discharges are not always less frequent than they should be, but they are less in quantity, are compact and hard, and are passed by hard straining and sometimes with considerable pain. Symptoms.— Headache, dizziness, feverishness, bad feeling in the head not easily described, loss of appetite, sometimes nausea, but little desire to go to stool, a weight and heaviness about the lower part of the belly, and a sense of confinement over the whole parts of the body. TREATMENT.-Take a full dose of Colby's Pills, or enough to operate once or twice, and for eight or ten days take one Pill at bed time, or enough to secure one full evacuation of the bowels the next morning ; omit for one day, but do not fail to make the attempt to evacuate at the same hour the pill operated the day before ; if successful repeat the next morning, and so continue to do at the same hour every day. If not successful continue the use of the Pill, until the habit is secure. Boston, Feb. 4, 1860. Having long been acquainted with Dr. Colby, I most cheerfully certify to his high standing as a practitioner, and as a gentleman of unexceptionable character. He has presented a happy combination of therapeutical agents, which is valuable as a cathartic and tonic. Having tried it myself, and knowing the ingredients, I can earnestly recom- mend it for its excellent qualities. WINSLOW LEWIS, M.D. Rock Island, Stanstead, Jan. 18th, 1865. I have for years been troubled with costiveness, and some four years since was attacked with paralysis, since which I have taken Dr. Colby's Pills every night, experiencing great relief both from paralysis and costiveness, without increase of dose from tiie commencement and I most cheerfully recommend them to the public. j. h.

Dr. Colby : Dear Sir,— I am happy to inform you of the admirable effect of your " Anti- CosTiVB ASD Tonic Pills " in the cure of -^y wife. She commenced taking them in July last, when recovering from a severe and protracted, .ickness, ucable to bear ordinary cathartics. "Although the pills were taken daily, no objectionable results followed, but under their use she rapidly recovered heaitb and strength. H. HUBBARD " " Inspector of Schools, District qfSt. Francis.

In cases of this kind, use Dr. Colby's Pills. From their peculiar combination they act directly on the secretions, purify the blood, and cleanse the system from all disease. Liver Complaint. —Thi; liver is the largest gland in the body. It lies in the right side, and at the top of the great abdominal cavity, directly under the midriff", and lapping upon the stomach ; its office is to take the superabundant carbon out of the blood. This carbon it unites with the other elements and forms bile, the peculiar bitter substance which is poured into the upper bowel, and greatly aids digestion. Some of the symptoms of derangement of the liver are, a sense of fulness and weight in the right side, uncomfortable sensation when lying on the left side, yellowness of the skin and urine, bowels irregular, loose or costive, bad taste in the morning. Treatment.— Take two to four Dr. Colby's Pills at night for three nights, then continue with one pill at bed-time until the symptoms are removed. If there is much pain in the region of the liver, the part may be rubbed daily with Jacobs' Rheumatic Liquid, which wiM afford rehef. IlATLEY, July 3, 1868. It gives me great pleasure to testify to the admirable effect of Dr. Colby's Anti-Costive AND To.Nic Pills as an Anti-Bilious Remedy. J. F. HARVEY, J.P. Read the following from a medical gentleman of the highest standin Mblbouune, C.E., March 9th, 1861. Mr. W. B. Colby : Dear Sir,— Yours, dated 7th inst., and enclosing formula of your father's Pills, was duly received this morning, and in reply permit me to tender my thanks for the half dozen boxes pills left with me for trial, as also for the enclosed formula. Although I have used all the pills left with me, and have been very highly pleased with their therapeutical operation, I am induced to form a still more favorable opinion of the pills after an examination of the formula. The combination of medicinal agents is one evidently entitling its originator to be considered thoroughly conversant with the properties of medicines. It is only to be regretted that the great number of the useless and in many cases injurious "Quack Nostrums" in our country should have a tendency to prejudice the public mind against such an eminently useful and scientific medicine— Da. Colby's Amti-Costivb and Tonic Pills. I shall at all times feel happy and safe in recommending them in all cases for which ihey are recommended by the manufacturer. Wishing all success, I remain, dear sir, your obedient servant, SAMUEL S. BOWERS.

From my personal acquaintance with Dr. M. F. Colby, of Stanstead, Que., and from my knowledge of his distinguished reputation and position in bis profession, 1 should regard any medical preparation or prescription of his, as entitled to the highest confidence and estimation. J. COLLAMER, (U.S. Senator, from Vermont, late Tost-master General, U.S. A.) Dartmouth Collkgb, April 6, 1860. Dr. Colby, of Stanstead, Que., is a Physician of high standing. He has earned a wide reputation for science and skill, in a long course of dignified and successful practice in his profession. It gives me pleasure to com- mend him. I judge him to be worthy of perfect confidence, and that any of his medicines or prescriptions would be ftilly answerable to bis recommendations. I doubt not that they would be worthy to take the place of the many uiiiiceoseU specifics wUicU are uow exteusively impairiug the public Ituallh, auU swelliug lUc bills of mortality. ' N. LORD, Pres.

If you like, you may also throw tlie harness upon them. To prevent Snow-balls on Horses' Feet.— Clean their hoofs well, and rub with soft-soap before going out in the snow. Nameless Diseases.— Who has not often, often experienced a feeling of sickness, yet quite unable to describe its precise nature or local y ? no acute pain or alarm- ing symptoms, but a consciousness of something wrong. It is but one of nature's reminders, warning us of the neglect of some organic law, causing an unnatural condition of one or more of the bodily organs. Dr. Colby's Anti- Costive and Tonic Pills just meet this want; by supplying and assisting nature in her just demands, stimulating the organs to a perfect performance of their proper functions. To Cure'^Scratches on Horses.— Y'lrst wash the affected parts thoroughly with Castile soap and water, wipe dry, and bathe with Jacobs' Ehumatic Liquid. Close Packing. — During the last homeward trip of a vessel from Aspinwall, the steerage passengers were so numerous as to make them uncomfortable. As for sleeping accommodation, it was aptly described by a Californian, who ap- proached the captain and said : " I should like a sleeping berth, if you please." " Why, where have you been 'sleeping for the last ten nights since we left ?" " Wa'U, I've been sleeping atop a sick man, but he has got better now, and won't stand it no longer."

It ia a common remark, and experionco has proved the fact beyond dispute, that those who are attentive to keeping t)ie stomach und bowels in proper order, pre- serve health, prevent disease, and generally attain »)heerful and healthy old age : and for that truly desirable purpose Dr. Colby's An ;i-Co3tivo and Tonic Pills are peculiarly adapted ; they have in all cases proved superior to any other medicine in the case of stomach and liver complaints, loss of appetite, dyspepsia or indiges- tion, sensation of fulness, oppression after meals, flatulence, shortness of breath, and disordcis incident to the stomach and bowels, and an excellent restorative after any excess or too frequent indulgence at the table, as they gently cleanse the bowels, strengthen the stomach, improve the digestion, and invigorate the whole constitution. Females who value good health should never be without them, as they purify the blood, remove obstructions, and give the skin a beautiful, clear healthy and bloom- ing appearance. Persons of a plet'ii>nc habit, who are subject to fits, palpitation of the heart, giddiness, headache, dimness of sight or drowsiness, from too great a flow of blood to the head, should take them frequently; they are so mild and gentle in their action, that children and persons of all ages may take them at any time, as they do not contain mercury or any ingredient that requires confinement or change of diet. Cholera morbus, cramps, spasms, and all other alarming complaints which so often prove fatal, may be cured or prevented by a timely use of Dr. Colby's Pills, and in connection with Jacobs' Rheumatic Liquid, that wonderful combina- tion of remedial agents form a certain protection against a large majority of the maladies to which we arc daily liable.

LYMANS, CLARE & CO. Simple preventive of Sunstroke.— Green forest leaves in the crown of the hat, are a cheap, simple and easily obtained, especially in the country, prevention of sunstroke. We speak from experi- ence, having often tested the remedy while working under a noonday sun in Ohio. The sap of the leaves counteracts the heat, and preserves the cranium cool. Light-colored coverings for the head should be worn, as white reflects, while black absorbs the heat. The state of the blood has much to do with sunstroke. Diet low on vegetables, rice, corn-starch, graham-bread, fruit, &c., and refrain from the use of fatty matter of any kind. Keep the rich diet for winter.

Remember that the patient must be treated instantly and on the spot where res- cued, lie must be freely exposed to the open air ; loosen the clothing ao as tO' freely expose the nock and chest. All persons not needed for saving him should avoid crowding around. Let the throat and mouth be cleansed by gently placing the patient's face down- wards, with one of his wrists under his forehead. Quickly wipe and cleanse the mouth, and if the patient does not breathe, immediately begin the following move- ments : I'osition. — Place the patient on his back, with shoulders raised and supported on a folded coat or some kind of a pillow. To keep up a free entrance of air into the wind pipe, let one person at the patient's licad grasp the tongue gently and firmly, with his fingers covered with a handkerchief, and drawing it out beyond the lips ; then either hold it or press the under jaw up so as to retain the tongue protruding from the mouth ; but it is better to hold it in that position with the hand. To produce and imitate the movements of breathing, raise the patient s extended arms upward to the sides of his head, and tlion pull ihem steadily, firmly and slowly, outward and forward. Next turn down the arms by the patient's sides, and bring them closely and firmly across the pit of the stomach, and press them and the sides and front of the chest gently but strongly for a moment, then quickly begin to repeat the first move- ment.' Let these two kinds of movements be made vory deliberately and without ceas- ing until the patient breathes, and let the two movements be repeated about twelve or fifteen times a minute, but not more rapidly, remembering that thoroughly fill E;/€ Sdtiv. — Tiike white iirecipitato one tfvspoonful, and rub it into a salve with three spoonsful of fresh Irtrd ; apply upon the outside of the lid.

This artificial respiration should be steadily kept up for forty mi- nutes, or more when the patient appears not to breathe ; and afber the natural breath- ing begins let this same motion be very gently continued, and let the proper sti- mulants be given in the intervals. If help and blankets are at hand, have the body stripped and wrapped in blank- ets, but do not allow the movements to be stopped. Bystanders can supply dry clothing, and the assistants should briskly rub the feet and legs, pressing them firmly and rubbing them upward while the movements of the arms and chest are going on. Apply hartshorn on a feather within the nostrils occasionally, and sprinkle or lightly dash cold water on the face and neck. The legs and feet may be rubbed and wrapped in hot blankets, if they are blue or cold, or if the weather is cold. Give brandy by the teaspoonful, or hot sling two or three times a minute, until the beaimg of the pulse can be felt at the wrist, but be careful and not give more of the stimulant than is necessary. Warmth should be kept up in the feet and legs, and as soon as the patient breathes naturally, let him be carefully moved to a house and be placed in a bed under medical care. If there is help enough at hand vhen the patient is taken from the water, or afterwards, let the nearest physician be callod, but let there be no waiting for a physician.

TUG ULE^$iIi\0 OF THE NIIVKTBfiWTIl CEXTURY. Jacobs' Rheumatic Liquid is the greatest remedy ever offered to the peo- ple, and the only one that can be relied upon as a positive cure of lameness, chil- blains, swelled joints, pain in the sides, lame back or sides, rheumatism, bites of insects, toothache, earache, colic, sud dencolds, chills and fever, diphtheria, sore- throat, &c. No medicine invented is capable of more extended application. Its curative properties are not confined to any particular locality, but are the same all over the world, as is proved by hundreds of certificates. It never fails. No family is safe a day without it. It is not a new preparation, but has been in extensive use for over twenty years, and the high terms of praise with which it is spoken of by all, have persuaded the proprietors that they are only doing an act of justice and mercy in placing it within the reach of all the suffering. The hundreds of certificates that we have are genuine, and can be seen at our office in Sherbrooke, Que. We challenge any preparation of the kind to furnish as many from reliable and responsible men. Punch advises farmers to sow their Ps, keep their Us warm, hive their Bs, shoot their Js, feed their Ns, look after their potatoe Is, and take their Es.

Timely assistance relieves the eye, and diminishes the tendency to flattening, •whereas, should the use of the spectacle be longer postponed, the eye changes rapidly, and when the optician is at lasii consulted, it is found that a deeper focus spectacle must be used than usual for the first pair, and even these suit but for a short time, and have to be again exchanged for those of a still deeper power ; and these changes become a matter of necessity which, unless judiciously checked, continue during life. It is of the greatest importance that near and distant objects should be equally examined so that the eye may preserve the fullest power of adjustment, this should be done by the unaided eye alone when it is possible ; but the short-sighted should always wear spectacles, as the power to see at different distances becomes paralyzed, and different spectacles for near and distant objects will be required. Spectacles should only be worn to compensate for any deficiency or excess of refractive power of the eye, and this deficiency or excess should be most carefully ascertained by the use of the octometer in order to guide us as to the required focus. Use the softest wash leather to wipe your spectacles, and if the lens become scratched have them exchanged at once. Superior Co%ne.— Oil of Bergamot, Oil of Lemon, Oil of best English Lavender,, of each 3 drachms ; Rosemary, 1 J drachms; Essence of Cinnamon, twenty drops; Essence of Cloves, twenty drops ; Musk, three grains ; alcohol 3 pts., equal to the best French. From the Rev. T. W. Constablk, of Clarenceville, dated September 19th, 1861.-1 have found your Liquid to be oi^ of the best medicines in use for Lumbago and kindred Rheumatic affections, also for all diseases of the throat. To Take Stains out o/ Si/A-.— Mix together in a phial, 2 oz. of essence of lemon, and 1 oz. of oil of turpentine. Grease, and other spots, are to be rubbed gently with a linen rag dipped in the above composition. A little misery sweetens life, it is the salt that makes it palatable and wholesome ; the shade that returns and sets off the noonday brilliancy of the sunshine.

Costiveness, the common difficulty of travellers, should never be neglected, and the removal of that bilious irritation which unavoidably accompanies irregular living, is indispensable both to health and comfort. As preventive of contagious diseases, and the fever incidental in warm climates, Jacobs' Rheumatic Liquid has acquired the highest reputation. In fact they constitute the only medicine chest for any journey in any country. Sensible Advice. — Prof. Silliman, of New Haven, gives the following sensible advice to young men : — If, therefore, you wish a clear mind and strong muscle, quiet nervej, long life, and power prolonged in old age, permit me to say, although I am not going to give a temperance lecture, avoid all drinks but water and mild infusions of that fluid ; shun tobacco, opium, and everything else that disturbs the normal siate of the system ; rely upon nutritious food and mild diluted drinks, of which water is the base, and you will need nothing beyond these things except rest, and due moral regulation of all your powers, to give you a long, happy, and useful life, and a serene evening at its close. Shkrbbooke, Aug., 1868. Messrs S. J. Foss & Co. Gents, — I take great pleasure in testifying to the extraordinary virtues of Dr. Colby's Anti- Costive AND Tosic PiLL.s iu sca sickness. Three or four of my fellow passengers in crossing the Atlantic in 18G7, sulfered the most excruciating tortures from that disgusting disease, until I divided among them the contents of a box of Colby's Pills, with which I had provided myself. In every case, one or two doses restored to health and comfort. R. LONG. Relation of Beards and Eyes. — There is an intimate connection betweer^the nerves and muscles of the face and eyes, and allowing the beard to grow strengthens the eyes. It is said that surgeons in the French army, have proved by experiment in Africa, that soldiers wearing their beards, are much less liable to disease of the eye, and it is generally conceded, that if the custom is to wear the beard, the eye retains its lustre and brilliancy much longer. Superior Liquid Blacking for Boots, Harness, S^-c. — One pint of Alcohol, two ounces of Gum Shellack, one ounce Gum Camphor, half an ounce Lampblack, will make a very superior liquid blacking.

Dyeing the Hair. — It may be stated, once for all, that this practice is decidedly injurious. It may fail altogether in producing the desired result ; it is never unattended by a certain amount of unpleasant circumstaq«es, and frequently with evil results. In the first place, the alteration of the abnormal color, so far as the general aspect of the face is concerned, has an effect the very reverse of that which is intended. Every constituent part of man tends to make the human machine one harmonious whole — the figure, the stature, the skin, the hair, the gait, &c. Fair hair is associated with a sanguineus and lymphatic temperament, a fine and white skin, blue eyes, and a soft and mild expression. Black hair, on the con- trary, is generally connected with a bilious habit of body, a muscular and nervous temperament, a dark and yellowish skin, wGlf black eyes, and a bold, proud air. Red hair is associated with a peculiar constitution, although closely ap- proaching to the fair type. In this variety the skin is transparent, fresh, and presents a peculiar limpidity which belongs exclusively to the color of hair men- tioned. To what absurd contrast, then, are those persons not exposed who, from idle vanity, attempt to break the bond of union which exists between the hair and the rest of the body. If, then, from the impression that red hair is a disfigurement, it is colored black, what relation can exist between this new color, and the soft blue eye, and the skin so fair and so susceptible, that the sun's rays seem to pene- trate it, in the form of those lentiginous spots commonly called freckles ? Superior Condition Poioder. — Fenugreek, 1 lb. ; sulphur, 1 lb. ; saltpetre, -J lb. ; salamoniac, \ lb. ; antimony, i lb. ; salt 2 oz. ; powder coarsely and mix.

They are inexcusable ; they gratify no sense, Avhile they outrage taste and dignity. A work of art — A widow trying to get a husband. •' Her flowing locks, the raven's wing, Adowa her neck and bosom hing; How sweet unto that breast to cling, And round that neck entwine her !

Finally, when thisjiscoloration is widely diftused over the head, and requires an extensive application of the dye, in the case of an old man for example, the hair will then* present a lustre, brilliancy and tint, in melancholy contradistinction with the faded and wrinkled skin, dull leaden eyes, furrowed cheek, and broken tottering gait. Besides, experience has sufficiently established the fact, that the ingredients of which the dyes are composed, are far from being free from danger and inconvenience. The texture of the hair itself is deteriorated by them. Compoimdcd as they are generally, of very active ingredients, they bum the hair, alter the piliferous capsule, arrest the natural secretion of the hair, and favor the production of baldness. They also frequently produce inflammation of the scalp. I have met with many cases in which females," who had been in the habit of using these dyes, were reduced to the sad alternative of maintaining a disagree- able and painful eruption, the result of the ingredients employed, or to abandon the disguise they were intended to produce. The color of the hair depends on the fluid contained in the pith, and varies, as before stated, according to the tempera- ment of the individual. There arc two causes which act in turning the hair grey. The first is the defective secretion of the coloring fluids ; the second, the canals, which convey the fluid into the hair, become obliterated. In the first instance the hair will remain, in the second it dies, and drops out, the cuticle of the scalp grows over the canals, which are soon obliterated, and the head becomes bald. Hence old people are almost without exception grey, and very frequently bald, as the glands of the hair decay with other parts of the body. Grey hairs are honor- able. Although it is not only right, but desirable to prevent the hair from premature decay, what folly to attempt to deceive ourselves and others into the belief that we are not growing old ; and it is only an attempt, for no one is deceived. " Lassie wi' the lint white locks, Bonnie lassie, artless lassie, Will tbou wi' me tent the flocks ? Will thou be my dearie, ? Now nature deeds the flowery lea, And a' is young and sweet like thee ; wilt thou share its joy wi' me. And say thoul't be ray dearie, 0?" — Burns. Shkrbrooee, Aug. 1868. 3. J. Foss & Co.

And if the follicles and glands are destroyed, which is indicated by a smooth, shining appearance of the scalp, nothing yet discovered will produce a new growth of hair, and all prepara- tions that profess to do either of these things are impositions. But while we should not attempt to change the course of nature, by counterfeit- ing youth, it is not only proper but highly desirable to preserve natural beauty as long as possible. With this end in view we have labored long and earnestly in connection with some of the greatest savons of the age to produce a preparation for the hair, which would preserve the " glory of woman " in its natural state of luxuriance and beauty. The result is. Hunt's Empire Hair Gloss, which we offer to the public with the fullest confidence that it will answer the ends above stated ; we have placed the price within the reach of all, and feel aasured that every one who tries it will pronounce it all we recommend. Its application will stimulate and preserve the glands in their natural state, thus rendering the hair soft, luxuriant and beautiful. S. J. Foss & Co., Sherbrooke, Quebec, and Boston, Mass.

The acid here supplies the place of a whetstone by corroding the whole surface uniformly, so that nothing further than a smooth polish is necessary. The process never .injures good blades, while badly hardened ones are frequently improved by it, although the cause of such improvement remains unexplained. Of late this process has been applied to many other cutting implements. The workman at the beginning of his noon spell, or •when he leaves off in the evening, moistens the blades of his tools with water acidified as above, the cost of which is almost nothing. This saves the consumption of time and labor in whetting, which, moreover, speedily wears out the blades. The mode of sharpening here indicated would be found specially advantageous for sickles and scythes." From experience as well as from testimony of others, I judge Jacobs' Rheumatic Liquid to be a superior article to Perry Davis' Pain Killer. Rev. W. Hansford.
