A REMARKABLE RESULT. It makes no difference how many Physicians, or how much medicine you have • tried, it is now an estab lished fact that German Syrup is the only remedy which has given com plete satisfaction in severe cases' of Lung Diseases. It is true there are yet thousands of persons who are predisposed to Throat and Lung Affections, Consumption, Hemor rhages, Asthma, Severe Colds set settled on the Breast, Phneumonia, Whooping Cough, «fcc., who have no personal knowledge of Boschees German Syrup. To such we would say that 50,000 dozen were sold last yeat without one complaint. Con sumptives try just one bottle. Reg ular size 76 cents sold I>y all Drug gists in America, and for sale by P. JR.

It has achieved unquestioned sue cpts in excellence, and we trust in patron age as well. 'Though so young, Just hav. ing completed its second third of its first year of existence, it yet deserves to rank with the old established monthlies—and that rank would readih he accorded if it wore only published up North instead oi in our midst. It is unaccountably strange but nevertheless we belieye it is true, that among our own people it is a cir cumstance ot detraction that a periodica] is published by one of our own people aud in our midst. It is in some sort a duty and should be the pnde of our people to substantially recognize the merit of pub lications in our midst. It would really see® that for a magazine to reach great favor, among ear people,it must be pub lished North, and only mention us and our history to leer, taunt, slandor and ridicule us. We venture that niue tenths of the Northern, publications which ex tensively circulate at the 3outh, contain from time to timo matter concerning our own people, which it appearing in a State paper would prompt ap immediate order from the great majority of subscribers to immediately discontinue.
