INTRODUCTORY.

TO THE READER.

We now have the pleasure of presenting you with the XlVth volumn of our annual Calendar. It has been pre- pared with considerable care and expense. We trust you will preserve it for frequent reference during the year, both on account of the usefulness of its astronomical cal- culations and on account of the advantage you may de- rive from obtaining a knowledge of the superior efficacy of our remedies.

For nearly Thirty Years our senior proprietor has labored diligently to place and keep before the public in the most convenient form ; such remedies as are most successful in speedily relieving human suffering, with such printed advices as will enable persons remote from physicians, or who are unable to pay doctor bills, to suc- cessfully treat themselves and their families in a very large majority of cases. He now rejoices to know that his labor has not been in vain ; but has been crowned with great success.

These medicines have not gained their present notoriety through any newspaper puffs or false representations, but through their own true merit, the result of practical use, and the aid our Calendar has given in causing them to be tried.

Study well the directions accompanying each article and you can use them in your families with great success.

C. WAKEFIELD & CO.

We have formed a Western Branch house at Lawrence, Kansas, in which H. Waters has a half interest. Our cus- tomers in Kansas and Nebraska, should direct their com- munications to C. Wakefield & Co.,

Many of these articles have been issued to the public by the same Proprietor for the last twenty-seven years, and during that long time they have been continually grow- ing in popular favor, and are now sought for in new ter- ritory where they have been heard of.

They have the reputation of being active, reliable and safe vegetablo remedies, and filling their recommenda- tions in every particular.

Persons who rely on these harmless and reliable rem- edies, who keep them at hand and use them to combat first symptoms, seldom require the services of a physi- cian, and seldom lose time by sickness. "A stitch in time saves nine."

They save you ten times their cost in doctor bills, and much time which i3 often of more value than money. They savo you a great amount of human suffering for which money will not compensate.

Every householder should continually have in his house at least one bottle each of Congh Syrup, Blackber- ry Balsam and Pain Care, and a box of Iiiver .j-,PiIls. With these he can repel the first' attack of a large 'majority of diseases.

If your children have diarrhea or summer complaint, from teething, use the Blackberry Balsam before the child gets weak. If they take a sudden cold, give the Cough Syrup ; if colic, or any pain arise, use the Paiu Cure, and thus save uncontrollable conditions, as you would avoid a conflagration by extinguishing its incipi- ent fire. -

For Sick Headache, when constitutional, take the Wine Bitters regularly, according to directions, for several weeks, and apply the Pain Cure externally when the headache comes on. [1

Waterloo, Iowa, June, 21st., 1872.

I have sold and known Dr. C. WakeSelds medicines for the past seven years, and they have sold well and give good satisfaction.

I can Especially recommend his Blackberry Balsam ; repeated tests having proven it to bo an invaluable reme- dy, and the leading one for Bowel Compla;nts.

PAIN! PAIN! PAIN! PAIN!

One of the best remedies before the puhlic for the relief of Pain and Lameness, is Wakefield's Majric Pain

Cure. This powerful remedy is composed of essential oils and other most stimalat;ng, quieting and penetrating ingredients, combined with especial reference to their ef- ; feet in thoroughly aroasing the dormant magnetic forces.

Medicines improperly combined will counteract each other's effect, so that two ingredients will produce less ef- fect than one alone, and their effects are magntt'cally neg- ative; while, wher properly combined like this JPain Cure, their unite* forces produce a positive magnetic power that aroiises the latent energies to vigerous action and soon restores r healthy equilibrium in the action of the circulating fluids.

It is a thorough remedy for the following diseases :

Neuralgic Pains, Contracted muscles,

Cramps", Weak spine,

Congestion of the stomach, Headache. Paralysis,

Bowels or Liver, Sore Throat, Boils,

Rheumatism, Swellings, Chilblains,

Lameness in any part, Corns, and Pain in anv part.

New Years.

The proprietors of this Calendar do most cordially wish a happy New Year to all of their numerous pat- rons ; and finally to the whole human family.

January should be, at least, one of the happiest months f if the year. Though the we; her may be cold andblea-c; acheerful lire renders us comfortable. We have a more general time of leisure to enjoy so- ciability and amusement with our friends, and long evenings to read and enjoy social cheer. It is now that we most rapidly recuperate our energies wasted during the hot season.

Let us strive then to be ever happy; even in the bleakest day of winter.

Innocent and social amusements are elevating to the soul. God and the angels delight in our hap- piness. What is real hap- piness, but the gratification of our purest desires ? May each succeeding month and day find U3 cultivating purity of thought and action which will elevate our spiritual natures, so that should we be called hence we shall readily affinatise with our most elevated spiritual friends who have gone before us.

NoTHiNa can be done well that is done in a hurry ; said a father to his erratic son. How about catching Fleas? asked the son.

"Great talkers are com- mon liars,''

FOR NERVOUS HEADACHE

Apply tho Pain Cure freely, under the hair at the base of the brain, both front and bask ; rub in briskly for a few minutes and the pain will cease.

For Sick Headache.— Apply externally and take a little internally. If you are bilious take two or three Liver Pills.

For Neuralgia and fresh attacks of Rheumatism, apply the Pain Cure freely to the back part of the head and neck, or wherever the pain is located, and repeat often. Bathe the feet in warm water, with a little soda'iu it, and take two of our Liver Pills, then cover up warm in bed and take a good rest. If not fully relieved by this, repeat' the applications and take four doses of Fever Specific in addition during the day.

For old Chronic ISlieuinntisui

First, apply a wet compress, as hot as can be borne,

over the afflicted part and over the point where the nerves leading to that part, branch from the spine, for twenty or thirty minutes; then wipe dry and apply freely our Pain Cure and rub in for some time; then cover well with flannel banda- ges. Repeat the process twice a day and take ten drops of Pain Cure internally every ■ hour. After a few days apply ■ i a Plaster over the weakest part j of the spine.

La Crosse, Hancock Co., III. Jan., 1873.

Dr. C. Wakefield, Sir: Your Magic Pain Cure is a I valuable remedy ; my liver was much disordered and I had pain in my stomach constantly for three years ; doc- I tored with different Doctors for three years without any relief whatever. When you sent your Pain Cure, I used one bottle and a half, and have not felt the pain since. Yours truly, SAMUEL GLASS.

Lost Island, Iowa, Oct., 25th., 1872.

Dr. C. Wakefield, Sir: Your Pain Cure is the reme- dy of the age. It has done wonders here and is popu'ar with the people.

So also, is your Cough Syrup ; it Ls the most effective remedy in Coughs and Colds that has been offered for sale here.

Yours truly, LEWIS J. ELY.

A man who had "a will all of hiss own" didn't get along very well at home, because his wife had "a won't of her own."

Miscellany.

An Irish housemaid who was sent to call a gentle- man to dinner found him useing a toothbrush. "Well, is he "coming?" asked the lady. "Yes. ma'am, direct- ly ; he is just sharpening his teeth!"

Useful, Articl e.— Wakefield's Pain Cure ap- plies to a great variety of diseases, pains, aches, lame- ness, paralyses <fcc., and should be kept in every lainily.

A little girl improved the Lord's Prayer by ask- ing for her daily ginger- bread.

Too close intimacy with other men's wives will bring disgrace upon you— unless you are a clergy- man.

Farmers and Mechanics who practice economy, save much money by relying on Wakefield's remedies. If your neighbor's hens are troublesome And steal across the way, Don't let your angry pas- sions rise; But fix a place for them

to lay. "Waste not, want not" is an old saying. Waste not your money or your nervous energy while youns, for you will need both during your declining years.

The smaller the calibre of the mind, the bigger the bore of a perpetually open mouth.

COLDS AND COUGHS.

A cold is generally caused by some sudden change in the temperature of sune portion of the exposed surface. The effect is i o throw the blood inward, which increases the acttion of the heart, produces a feverish or an in- flamed condition of the internal organs, and retards their natural execretious. This inflamed Mni clogged condition soon produces a contraction of the air passages, and an irritation of the sensitive nerves of the respiratory appa- ratus which causes a Cough.

Wakefield's Cough Sitrup is especially adapted to <he relief of the above described conditions. In large dosps it relaxes and subdues these exalted conditions quiets the nerves ; equalizes the circulation ; induces gen- tle perspiration and euabie-t the excretory orgaus to throw off the accumulated morbid secretions.

It is thus adapted to ail exalted condition of the vital organ, as in Colds, Typhoid or Lung Fever, Spotted Fe- ver, Measles and Whooping Cough.

Persevere in a free use of the Syrup in connection with the wet applications as the directions advise; and you will obtain a speedy relief. The time required to break up an attack will be in proportion to the violence of the c >nge stion. Many persons die of Lung Fever because they do not commence in time with the proper remedies t > relieve the congestion, and start the excretions. They often use strong and improper medicines, producing glandulal irritation, and otherwise increasing the conges- t-on, until they are soon be ond the control of any rem- edy. Yv hcreas if they had coinilrence 1 with these proper relaxants, and followed the hygiene advised in the direc- tions they would have improved fi om the st:irt.

A Little careful thought will convince any one of the soundness of this system, and it is in accordance with the best experience of this progressive age.

Wakefield's Cough Syrup ia Croup.

Jan. 15th., 1873.

Mr. H. C. Moore, of Holland, 111., Says : "We have been using your Cough Syrup in Croup. Two of my children have been troubled with it for the last three years, and I And it the best remedy that I ever tried. I would not be without it fur three times the price.

Drywood, Mo., April, 24th., 1873.

Dr. C. Wakefield <fc Co.,: I Most cheerfully recom- mend your Cough Syrup, it sells very fast and gives good satisfaction, please send us more of the large size bottles. Yours truly, E. Gil ACE, Agt.

He that asks the fewest favors is best received.

Maxims.

Throw a young man on his own resources, if you would insure his success. When the eagle wants her young to fly, she destroys the nest.

If you would get rich, take care of the pence, and look out for the expense.

Should old acquaintance he forgot ? Not i f they cure your ills.

Do not run for office if you would not loose your character as a gentleman.

If you pay what you owe,

What you are worth you will know.

He who waits to do a great deal at once will never do anything. The better way is make use of every moment to the best advant- age you can.

It is much easier to keep out of debt or trouble of any kind, than to get out.

He is a fool who boasts of four things : that he has good wine, a good horse, a handsome wife and plenty of money.

Do what you ought, come what may.

Who knows nothing in his thirtieth year, has noth- ing in his fiftieth ; learns nothing, is nothing, and comes to nothing.

Joy is like the ague ; one good day between two bad ones.

He is a fool that praises himself, and a madman that speaks ill of himself.

AN INDISPENSIBLE ARTICLE.

A large majority of diseases require as early as possible a medk-ine that will gently relieve the clogged condition of the Liver, Stomach, Bowels and Blood, that they may agiin perform their accustomed labor.

Wakefield's L.iver Pills are especially adapted to the accomplishment of this requirement.

Always Safe. — They contain no mercury, no mineral or deleterious substance, and are harmless to ihe most deii- oate persons, and females in all conditions.

Reliable. — They meet all the wants of a reliable fami- ly purgative and alterative remedy.

Prompt. — They act promptly on the Liver and cleanse the stomach in the mildest manner.

Neveb Debilitate. — They never produce griping of the bowels and very little prostration of strength.

For Biliousness. — By increasing the size of the dose they* speedily relieve all bilious attacks.

They assist Nature. — They regulate the system without interfering with labor or digestion. Their ac- tion is so much in conformity with nature that they do not disturb the vital functions any more than proper food.

Cancers. — For Fever Sore, Canrer Humors* and simi- lar impurities of the blood these Pills have gained much celebrity.

Pure blood cannot be secreted when the stomach is foul any more than pure water can flow from a corrupt fountain. These Pills are designed to cure Liver Com- plaint, Dyspepsia, Headache, Nervous Debility, Jaun- dice, Costiveness, Eruptions of the skin, Scrofula, Salt Rheum and Enlargement of the Spleen ; in larger doses, Bilious attacks Fits and Mental derangements.

For acute attacks take three or four pills at first dose. For chronic diseases take one or two pills every night.

Cured Fever Sore.

Mr. J. Hulinqer, of Bloomington, 111. says: I had a Fever Sore on the side of my leg for many years. My limb was swelled very large and red as a beet; the open- ing was two inches in diameter and growing larger; I could not walk much on it. I commenced the use of Wakeiield's Stiver Pills and used tlipm regularly for many months, and made a solution of Nitrate of Sil- ver, using 20 grains to one ounce of water, and applied twice a day with a leather to the sore. My blood soon became less inflamed, the sore gradually grew smaller until it finally ail healed up.

For Sore Eyes, Wakefield's Eye Salve has become quite famous. Try it.

Excuse haste and a bad

Een, as the pig said when e broke out.

A Happy Man.

What a glorious world this would be, if all its in- habitants could say, with Shakespere's shepherd: "Sir, I am a true laborer ! I earn what I wear ; I owe no man hate ; env}r no man's happiness ; glad of other men's good; cuntent with my farm."

An article you can al- ways borrow. — Trouble.

30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Has established the superiority of Wakefield's Fever Specific in neutralizing Miasmata, overcoming bilious diseases, and ridding the system of Ague and Fever, Bilious Fever, fevers of all kinds and all paroxysmal diseases. It is the oldest remedy in the West, and its an- nual use in families and neighborhoods during so long a pei iod of time without failures ; is a sufficient guaranty of its superiority.

It contains no arsenic or strychnine, is safe in use and sure in effect. It is so immediately diffusive that it arouses speedy action, and sometimes produces slight nausea of the stomach. When such occurs take small and more frequent dcses, or instead use our Ague and Fever Piles.

Wakefield's Ague <fc Fever Fills.

These celebrated Pills have all the medical properties and power of the Specific, concentrated into pill form, sugar coated and put up in g'ass vials and sealed Tht-y are thus prepared for the convenience of those who prefer medicine in this form. They can be relied on as having no superior. The patient should first take a full dose of Liver Pills, and, in a few hours follow with the Spe- cific or Ague Pills, as desired, and follow the direc- tions that you receive with either. These articles are wholly vegetable and contain no poisons.

Do not let Ague and Fever wreck the nervous constitu- tion of yourself or children, when one bottle of Fever Specific will break it up. Break it up before it is well seated and before the nerves become debilitated or the blood disordered and you have less danger of relapse.

This miasmatic disease locates on the nerves, and the longer it runs the weaker the nerves become and the long- er it takes to strengthen up against renewed attacks.

Too Modest:— John F. Thomas, of New Philadelphia, 111., says: Your medicines do much more than you recommend. In fact the half has scarcely been told.

A Sure Thing:— O. T. Phelps, of Opdyke, Til., writes Oct., 19th., 1S7U.— Your Fever Specific is the only sure remedy here for Ague & Fever.

Safe to Warrant:— Messrs. Weaver Bros., of Sears- boro, Io., «ept. 18th., 1872, says: Your Fever Specific meets with ready sale. We have warranted every bottle, and have not as yet had a single bottle returned.

Sure Sale.— Obert Smith of York Neck, 111. writes under date of Sept. 13th., 1872. — Your Specific goes off like hot cakes in a cold morniLg ; and it is as sure to cure as it is to go.

The New Marriage Ceremony.

Will you take this fine mansion, this gay carriage and these diamonds for thy wedded husband ? Yes. Will you take this unpaid Milliner's bill, this high chignon of foreign hair, these affected accomplish- ments and feeble constitu- tion for your wedded wile? Yes. Then what man has joined together, let some scamp run away with, and the first divorce court tear asunder.

Something that has stood the test for twenty-five years— Wakefield's Black- berry Balsam.

A news paper clerk in soliciting a stock dealer to subscribe for the paper, said, "Our editor's head is chuck full of live stock."

Boasting is sometimes out of place. For instance ; a self-conceited man re- marked that he was a bach- elor, as also, was his father before him.

Nothing looks more 1 i ke a man of sense than a fool who holds his tongue.

Keep Wakefield's Medicines

In your house ; study the directions that accompany each article, and use the remedy required before a disease is fully located. They answer all your requirements. A few'doliars invested in them will often snve you from a succession of misfortunes that generally follow a spell of sickness. We give you a few extracts from among the many letters Ave receive, commending the efficacy of our Medicines :

Manson, Iowa, July 16, 1S72.

C. Wakefield & Co , : We <end you todpy by Express $25,30, amount due you for medicines sold. The Cough Syrup Blackberry Balsam Ar Magic Pain Cure

are a dead certainty, for the different, ills they a--e said to cure. We warrant them to the extent of the English Lan- guage.

Yours, GLOVER BROS.

J. H. Phillips, writing from Horse Prairie, Franklin Co., 111., says: "I cannot extol any one of your medi- cines above another. They are all as good as you recom- mend tbem to be. I have used them for ten years and al- ways with perfect satisfaction."

September 4th., 1872.

P. S. Baker, of Queensville, Ind., writes: I have sold a great many kinds of medicines during the past ten years, but have never sold any giving such general satis- faction as vour Cough Syrtjp ; it heals in everv instance, in fact alfof your preparations as far as tried give equal- ly as good satisfaction. In several instances I have taken the liberty to warrent your medicine*, and have never had any returned.

Iroquois, III., Jan., 4th., 1873.

Dr.. C. Wakefield <fe Co., Gents : Yeur medicines

are very popular here; I have had many calls for your Couoh'Syrup. The Blackberry Balsam cured many bad cases of Flux and Bowel Comp aints here the past season ; not failing in one single instance.

Yours truly, A. O. WHITEMAN.

Windfall, Ind., March, 27th., 1873. Messrs., C. Wakefield <fc Co.,: Your medicines rre celling rapidly. Our customers tell us that we must keep all of your medicines in stock. We never had a med'cine that sold as rapidly and gave the satisfaction that your Cough Syrup does.

How to make a tall man short.— Ask him to lend you five dollars.

Miscellany.

A Jew Clothing Store, advertised goods at half price.

A country man seeing his sign went in and found a coat that fitted properly, asked the price, counted out half the sum to the proprie- tor and started out with the coat.

The proprietor called him back for the balance of the mony, when the stranger refered him his sign, "Sel- ling at Half Price" and went on.

If you have debility and loss of appetite, the Wine Bitters is the exact thing you need.

Pat's explanation. — I say Pat, is it true yo hare- taken the pledge? asked Mike.

Indade it is true and I 'm not ashamed of it either, said Pat.

Well said Mike, but did not Paul tell Timothy to take a little more wine for the stomach's sake.

So ho did Mike, but my name is not Timothy, an .' there 's nothing the "matter of my stomach.

Biliousness and Liver Complaint require the use of Liver Pills.

A man waa asked what induced him to make a Law student of his son.

Oh! he was always a lying little cus, and I thought I would humor his leading propensity.

A fine coat may cover a fool, but never conceals one.

DIARRHEA !

Or a relaxed condition of the bowels, is among the most troublesome diseases of the summer season. Persons are often attacked with this disease very suddenly, and un- less a proper remedy is at hand may become speedily de- bilitated and rendered untit for either mental or physical labcr.

A sure remedy is found in Wakefield's Blackberry Balsam. Its effects are immediate and always reliable. It quiets the action of the stomach, relieve? colic, controls all relaxed conditions and heals the irritated mucous membranes.

If persevered in, it cures all crises of old chronic or Camp Diarrhea. For children with teething diarrhea it is much more serviceable than the Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant to take, and reduced with a little water, can be given to the smallest infant.

Summer Complaint in Children is generally caused by teething, but may be produced by other causes thatir- ritate the nervous system and debilitate the digestive or- gans. The mother snould see to keeping the bowels un- der proper control by a proper use of the Balsam, and otherwise try to overcome the irritating cause. Give the child a daily sponge bath, followed by thorough rubbing with the naked hands. Guard well "the diet in quality and quantity of food, as the digestive organs are invaria- bly weak. Keep the child quiet and cool and persevere with judgment. If the child is bilious give one or two teaspoonfuls of Wine Bitters each day.

For Cholera. — As Wakefield's Blackberry Bal- sam has no superior for disorders of the bowels, it should be kept in every family during any prevalence of such disease, and used promptly before violent disease has made much progress. Take large doses as in severe at- tacks of Diarrhea and keep quiet. The first symptoms are generally readily controled. But if the case has pro- gressed rapidly to rice water discharges, give half of a bot^e of Balsam at a dose and repeat in fifteen minutes, and wting flanel cloths out of hot salt and water made very strong, and apply to the bowels, changing often, also rub the body and limbs vigerously with the naked hand to arouse action on the surface. If a case is so severe that a lew such doses have not given relief, mix equal parts strong spirits of Camphor, tincture Opium and tincture of Capsicum. Take a teaspoonfull at a dose, between the doses of Balsam.

For Horse Flesh ; Lameness, Bruises, Sores Ac, the Egyptian Liniment has no superior. It should be kept in every stable.

and then, Is relished by the best of

men.

To keep our of Debt. — Acquire the reputatiou of a rascal and no one will trust you.

"Whatever is, isright." — with a few exceptions, the left eye for instance.

The best man is not al- ways the largest man or the one who talks the most. The best medicines are not always the ones that are most advertised in news- papers. Wakefield puts money in the quality of his medicines that others put in newspaper puffs.

"What 'a the use of try- ing to be honest?" asked a young man of his friend. "Oh I you ought to try it once to see if you can," was the reply.

A youno man at a party was asked if he could play the piano ; asked, Is it any- thing like seven up ?

Toothache may be cured by holding in the hand a certain root. — The root of the tooth.

Courage, a trait of char- acter common to all ani- mals, receives more ap- plause than discretion, which is a result of good sense.

Learn to say "no" with propriety ; there is no use of snapping it out dog fash- ion, but say It firmly and respectfully.

AGUE & FEYER.

Chills, Dumb Ague and all paroxysmal

diseases are supposed to be caused oy the mias- matic exhalations, from rich marshy and damp earth be- ing absorbed into the blood through the respiratory or- gans. This poison se^ms to produce debility of the nerves and an irregularity in the action of the positive and ne- gative forces, which is soon corrected by tho use of Wakefield's Fever Specific.

Under the eft'ect of this vacillating condition of the magnetic forces, which are the propelling power ; the stomach and liver but half perform their usual labor, and thereby very soon get out of order. We there- fore recommend ihe patient to take first a dose of L.iver Pills, and, in a few hours follow with the Specific or Ague Pills, as desired and follow the directions that you rt-ceive with either. These articles are wholly vege- table and contain no arsenic, no strychnine, uo poison. ,

All the Doctor I Want.

Terre Haute, Mo., Jan. 22d., 1873.

Messrs. C. Wakefield & Co., dear sirs:— My wife was taken sick very suddenly in the fall ; was confined to her bed, and had a very high fever. I gave her a dose of Liver Pills, and after it took effect gave her Fever Specific every hour for one and a half days. In three days she was able to attend to her household affairs. Your medicines are all the phvsiciau I want in my family. Yours respectfully, JAMES B. FRY, P. M.

Quarry Iowa, Aug. 26th., 1872.

Dr. C. Wakefield & Co. : Please send us by Express at once 4 ioz., Fever Specific ; as we will be out before it arrives, it is dead shot to Ague & Fever.

Yours truly, COATE <fc HEYWORTH.

Mansfield, III., Jan. 13th., 1S72.

Dr. C. Wakefield:— I must say that during the season of Chilis & Fever, your Fever Specific give the best of satisfaction. I found it in my trade to be more effectual than all others.

Yours, R. J. TATMAN.

Mr. Lamb, Agent at Dryden, Neb., writes : "I have not known a case of Fever <fe Ague, with proper diet, which your Specific has failed to cure."

Wm. Jeffreys & Sons, Agents at Elmdale, Kan., wriles : "Your Couqh Syrup is the best medicine in the market."

Bittees — for the health.

Do not ride a hobby.

No system of phyloso- phy, religion, politics or medical practice has all the essence of truth and good- ness, and none are wholly destitute of them. Wake- field is free from isms and strives to cull the best from all — especially m medicine.

Insults are like count- erfeit money.— We cannot hinder their being offered, but we are not compelled to take them.

No fact has been better established in this progress- ive age, than this ; that Wakefield's Medicines are better adapted to tho dis- eases of the West than any other before the public. They are safe and reliable. They give speedy relief, save you many doctor bills ; much suffering ; long con- finement and loss of time

No one remedy so useful in a family during winter and spring, as Wakefield's Cough Syrup.

The cool and deliberate man succeeds best in any undertaking.

Katy, aged three years, was trying to think of a pleasant surprise for her father on his birthday. At last she cried: "I know, mama, I know." "What, my dear?" "Get me a lit- tle sister without saying anything to papa."

Iron may be a good tonic for young ladies ; but iron- ing is better.

Industry is the parent of fortune.

CERTIFICATES.

Cared after a council of Boetors failed.

Busiinell, III. Jan. 10th. 1873.

Dr. C. Wakefield & Co. sirs : A physician of thirty years practice sayS; that in the case of Mrs. Dunken, one bottle of Wakefield's Cough Syrup was used in con- nection with his practice with marvelous success.^ The patient was prostrated several weeks; all physicians around her had pronounced her case hopeless; as there waa a large cavity in her throat caused from broncpial affection. She threw from her lungs one and a half pints of matter in 24 hours. Siie now lives and is well.

G. J. COWGILL.

Normal, III., Nov., 6th., 1872.

Dr. Wakefield, Kir: I would tell you of a very re- markable cure performed on me by your Blackberry Balsam. I got badly poisoned by some improper food and it gave me a most awful diarrhea. The doctors rem- edies failed, and they said I could not live. Some friend advised me to try your Balsam. I at first bought three bottles which gave me great relief, and I continued its use for several days, and it cured me effectually.

PETER DE VRIES.

H. L. Williams Agent at Montavello, Mo., writes s Your medicines are selling rapidly, especially Cough Syrup, Pain Cure, Wine Bitters & Liver Pills. Some say they do not act like medicine but like a churm.

Cured Ckolera !

A. C Walswortu ©f Fairmont Mo., writes under date of Sept., 19th., 1872.— Some four years ago Mr. W. F. Perry, general agent for J. C. Ayers & Co., had the Chol- era at my house. We employed no physician, but used one and "a halt bottles of your Blackberry Balsam and cured him. He was so weak after the severe pain that he stayed with me five days. This he will testify to if

desired.

♦-♦

No excuse for suffering pain when the Pain Cure will

give speedy relief every time.

Wakefield's Pain Cure is superior to anything be- fore the public in all acute or deep seated pains. It is used both internally and externally, as the symptoms may require.

For Galls, Bruises and Lameness on Horses use Wake- field's Egyptian Liniment.

Hints to Hasqner- aders.

A tali slim f41ow is in trouble. 11 e wants to know what character to assume ata masquerade. Afahiona- ble journal advises him to braid his legs and go as a whip-lash or roll himself round and round a dozen times and go as a roll of tape ; wrap himself up in the national Hag and go as a barber's pole ; bristle his hair and go as a white- wash brush ; swallow a few marbles and go as a rattle-box; put an insula- tor in his mouth and go as a telegraph pole; or walk on his hands as a pair of scissors.

W. D. Hamilton, of Wheatland, J 11., Says: Your Cough Syrup saved the life of my youngest cnild who had a very severe attack of Lung Fev- er.

Dr. C. Wakefield & Co., Gents : My boy, nine

years old, had the Chills for several months, and we could

get no permanent relief until we obtained a bottle of

your Fever Soecific. This cured him at once. Two of

our hotel proprietors and other prominent citizens have

also used it with the same glorious result.

WAKEFIELD'S EGYPTIAN LINIMENT.

This is one of the most stimulating and penetrating oil Liniment in use, and is used with great success on hor- ses in the cure of Sprains, Swellings, Chafes, Galls, Bruis- es, Spavin, Sweeney &c. It is as strong as horse flesh will hear without irritation. Harness galls are often cured without resting the team or even changing the harness that produced the gall. Head the following certificates : Cares Rbenmalism.

D. C. Waggoner, our Agent at Monmouth, Ind. writes thus: I have been engaged in the snle of Medicines for thirty years, and have ever refused to recommend any of them ; but finding in your remedies superior mer- it and unbounded success ; I authorize you to publicly say for me that your Egyptian Liniment surpasses any- thing ever sold by me for the cure of Rheumatism. Your Blackberry Balsam cures all irregularities of the bowels, and my customers say your medicines are all quite indispensible in their families.

W. A. Brown, of Alaska, Ind. says: I got my foot badly fractured by the fall of my horse. I applied the Egyptian Liniment continually and it soon took out the soreness and enabled me to walk. I also find this Liniment an excellent remedy for Rheumatism.

To Give a Horse an Appetite.— Every other day mix with his feed one tablespoonfull of salt and three of wood ashes. It will also keep off the Bots and Worms.

Condition Powders.— To cleanse the blood in cases of Swellings, Foul Sores, Mange <fec: Mix equal parts of Salt Petre, Sulphur, Fcenugreek and Black Antimony to- gether all well powdered. Give your horse a table spoon- full each day for a week. Bathe the sores with Egypt- ian Liniment.

If you get bilious, with a bad tasto in your mouth, bad breath, general dullness, or if you feel as if a heavy sub- stance lay in vour breast or right side, take one or two do- ses of Wakefield's Liver Pills.

If your children are unthrifty, nervous and fretful give them Wakefield's Worm Destroyer.

For Xeuralgia, Headache or Sore Throat, use Wake- field's Magic Pain Cure every time.

For Diarrhea and Summer Complaint nothing is equal to Wakefield's Blackberry Balsam.

For Typhoid Fever give Cough Syrup freely from one to three days, until the fever begins to abate, then give small doses of Fever Specific.

It is good to have friends everywhere.

Miscellany.

Evert man can not be great in the eyes of the world ; but eve ly man may perforin great and worthy actions.

A sincere desire for truth and goodness is a long stride towards iheir attainments.

A preventive is better than a cure. It is easier to prevent Typhoid Fever wheu it threatens, by the use of Cough Syrup, than to cure it when well es- tablished.

No man ever done a wil- ful injury to another with- out suffering the infliction of a deeper wound on his individual character.

What is that which has a mouth but never speaks, and a bed in which it never sleeps — a River.

Aint it wicked to rob dis here roost, Jim ? Dats a great moral quession, Gumbo ; we no got time to argue it now, hand down another pullet.

If you take a sudden cold bathe your feet in hct water and take large doses of Cough Syrup.

A farmer had a calf so contrary, he said, that he "had to pull his ears off to make him suck, and pull his tail off to make him let go."

WINE BITTERS.

This is no beverage but a genuine remedy for a dainty- appetite, and an enfeebled condition of the system. It in- vigorates the Stomach, promotes digestion, gives activity to the circulation, purines the blood <fec.

Used in the spring it prepares the system for the change from winter to summer.

As a preventive in times of prevailing disease it is very effectual.

Used for what? Used for Loss of Appetite, Head- ache, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism, Liver Com- plaint, Dyspepsia, Constipation, Retention of Menses and many other symptoms.

General Debility.— Persons declining in health, tending towards consumption, dyspepsia, or any chronic form of disease, cannot find a better remedy than these Hitters. The patient should buy half a dozen bottles and continue its uso properly for some time, to cleanse the blood and invigorate the system. It will regulate the action of the liver and overcome constipation.

Biliousness— Is indicated by a bad or bitter taste in the month; tongue coated, no appetite, &c. Take a full dose of Liver Pills and follow with the Hitters three or four times a day. Apply Pain Care freely over the stomach and right side. As a preventive of biliousness take one dose of the Bitters every morning before eating breakfast.

Ladies find the Bitters a valuable medicine for sup- pression and retention of Menses, and particularly girls entering womanhood, to develop and mature a natural healthy condition.

Turs of Life.— The Bitters may b^ relied upon to keep the blood pure and the strength good to endure the change, and is useful in all female weaknesses.

For Scald Head and Old Sores that will not heal, or that have proud flesh in them, apply the Eye Salve and cover with a thin cloth to keep it applied and take the Bitters internally.

Mr. B. W. Rice, of BetMehem, Ind. says : I believe your Wine Bitters has kept me out of the grave.

Morgan Ware, our Agt. of Barbers Mills, Ind. says: All of your peperations g ve general satisfaction. I ad- vise all who want reliable remedies tbat will give imme- diate relief to try Wakefield's remedies. They save many a doctor bill.

For Soreness in the Stomach— Use the Pain Cure ex- ternally, with a great deal of light rubbing.

Jaundice — Is soon cured by using the Bitters regu- larly and the Liver Pills twice a week.

Miscellany.

Appearances often de- ceive. The material and visible in all nature, ap- pear most substantial while in reality they are all per- ishable, and are only the outward visible effect of the invisible or spiritual, which is the true substan- tial. The Soul of man ia the true identity. Love, Wisdom. Truth and a well established moral charac- ter, are imperishable at- tributes of the Soul.

Trust in providence for good health, but keep Wakefield's Medicines on hand, for "faith without works, is dead."

This question agitates Lawrence, Kan: "should a young man leave his music lesson to split wood when his mother is at home in perfect health?"

"You ought to lay up something for a rainy day," said an anxious father to his profligate son. "And so I have," replied the youth. "What?" "An umbrella."

For Galls, Bruises and all external diseases on horses use the Egyptian Liniment.

An old edition of Morse's geography says : "Albany has four hundred dwelling houses, and two thousand four hundred inhabitants, all standing with their gable ends to the street."

He is the wisest man who does not think himself

so.

FOR SORE AND WEAK EYES

Use Wakefield's Eye Salve.

This i's a reliable remedy for sore and weak Eyes, sore Lips, Chaps, old Sores, Chafes on children, and external humors. It is a very nice scientific preparation, and a small particleof it answers fur an application. It kills the humor, quiets, cools and heals, and is a useful article to have in a family. It is warranted equal to any Eye Salve before the public.

Beecher City, III., Jan. 9th., 1873.

Dr. C. Wakefield, Dear Sir: I take the liberty of writing you, of a wonderful cure performed on my Daughter, and if you think it of advantage you may pub- lish it. I do certify that my daughter eleven years old has been afflicted with sore eyes ever since she was two rear-; old. I tried several physicians, none could do her imv cr >od. I thought I would try your Eye Salve, I com- menced the use of it last summer and in three months they were entirely cured, her eye3 are perfectly well now. Yours truly, J. P. NELSON.

Wakefield's Egyptian Salve.

This is a very cleansing and healing remedy for old Sores, Cracks, Cuts, Frosted Parts, Corns, Burns, Ac, and is an excellent adhesive plaster for dressing fresh cuts and wounds, where the parts need to be confined in their proper places.

Directions. — For Cracks and Sores, heat the end of the stick, and apply it hot enough to fill the cracks and ad- here firmly to the skin. It will keep out the air and wa- ter, and soon heal the opening.

For Corns.— First pare the thick skin off the corn, then apply a plaster of this salve, putting on a fresh on9 every djv and it will soon effect a cure.

Suggestive. — An alopathic physician on presen'ing his bill to the executor of a deceased patient, asked. "Do you wish to have my bill sworn to?" "No replied the executor, the death of th9 deceased is sufficient evidence that you attended him professionally." That doctor never prescribed Wakefield's remedies.

.T. L. woods, of Vernon Co., Mo., says: Your Cough Sy- rup is the best medicine for the Lungs that is made.

For Fevers or Chills, use Wakefield's Ague A Fever Pills. Thev are sugar coated, pleasant to take and never fail.

For local pains there is nothing better than Wakefield's Pain Cure.

TO

Mice, Roaches, Ants &c, &c.

This is one of the best preparations of the kind there is manufactured, and give3 general satisfaction. One advan- tage it has over all others is, it does not dry up and get hard. Try one box of it and use according to directions, and we think you will find it just the article to rid your premises of rats, mice, &c.

Prepared by C. Wakefield <fe Co., and sold by Drug- gists generally throughout the West.

Nerve and Bone Liniment.

This is an extremely penetrating Liniment without be- ing irritating or stimulating. It is soothing and very healing. It is used ou raw burns, sores of any kind, con- tracted leaders, and any parts that need sottening. For a burn, saturate a little batting with this Liniment and apply, keeping the cotton wet with the Liniment until the fire is all out, and keep some applied until it heals.

Huntley's Concentrated Benzine

Is the best article you can get for cleaning soiled clothing. It takes out grease spots and does not soil the finest silks. Manufactured by C. Wakkfield & Co., and told by all Druggists throughout the West.

Pile Ointment.

Wakefield also manufactures a very superior Oint- ment for Pdes, which gives speedy relief, and will be forwarded by mail on receipt oi price — 50 cents.

NoTniNG relieves diarrhea half so quick as Wakefield' Blackbkrky Balsam.

WORMS ! WORMS ! WORMS !

WAKEFIELD'S HOK.1I DESTROYER.

This valuable medicine is prepared in Lozenges ; is very pleasant for children to take, is quite harmless in any reasonable quantity, and is very effectual in reliev- ing children • or aduits'froin these internal disturbers of rest and health.

These Lozenges cleanse the bowels and stomach of the slimy matter in which worms are bred, correct bilious and fretful symptoms, acton the kidneys and restore to health all pale, unthrifty looking children.

Spasms in children are most frequently the result of worms. When a child is irritable and feverish, some- times craving food and eating ravenously, or refusing- wholesome diet, restless in sleep, moaning and grinding the teeth, then be assured these symptoms are worms, and no time should be lost in giving Wakkfikld's Worm Destroyer according to directions.

On some children a few doses, and in some cases even the first dose, has carried off a large number of worms; in other cases the worm symptoms disappear without the worms becoming visible. Price 25ets per box.

Personal Experience.

G. B. Smart, of Blue Mound, Linn Co., Kan., says : — Your medicine is doing a great amount of good in this vicinity. I give jou a little of my experience; my wife has.been subject to a cough for many years, when the cold weather set in the cough became violent, she resorted to your Cough Syrup and took one small bottle a day, she soon got well and free from cough.

I took down suddenly with Bilious Pneumonia; used your medicines as your directions advise and was soon all right again.

Saved Her Eire.

B. W. Rice, of Bethlehem, Ind , says : Your Cough Sy- rup saved the life of my sister. She lived in Louisville, Ky., and two of the nest doctors attended her for six months and done her no good, She coughed day and night and finally came to my house to die. I immedi- ately got your Cough Syrup and gave her free'y, and in three weeks she went home, but she did net take her cough with her for she was well. Any one doubting the truth of this statement can address me as above, and learn the truth of this and many more wonderful cures.

CERTIFICATES.

Iiiver Pills for Cancer.

Union Hill, III. Feb. 21th, 1873,

Dr. Wakefield, sir: I have cured 17 Cancers within the last tAvo years, and depended on your Uvea* Pills for one of the medicines to renovate the blood.

In the first place I cured a Cancer on myself after the doctors said I could not be cured; and that' I would die within three months.

Yours truly, DANIEL P. BEEBE.

If your optics are weak or inflamed Wakefield's E". e Salve will set them right again. Try it.

Felix Trembled : So do people who have Ag;ue & Fever, but Wakefield's Fever Specific or Ague Pills will stop it every time.

Success in Consumption.

Mr. L. Recksecker, of Chippewa Mission, Kan. says : I was called to see one of our people apparently dying: from Consumption. I found him Very weak, coughing fearfully wiih flushes of fever and occasional chills. I thought him dying and so did all present; but I com- menced to give him freely of your Cough Syrup through the day, and Liver Pills every- other night; applied Pain Cure on his breast and side and gave occasionally small doses of Fever Specific. The cough loosened gradually and he be^an to mend. After using eight bot- tles of your Cough Syrup he was up and walked a mile to see me and get more medicine.

Cares Men Women and Children !

New Philadelphia, III. July 6th. 1872.

Dr. C. Wakefield & Co., sir: In reference to your medicines, I believe your Fever Specific to be the 'best medicine that was ever gotten up by any man on top of the ground.

The truth is, it has cured every man, woman and child of the Ague that ever u<*ed it.

Your Cough Syrup, Balsam and Liver-Pills are ex- actly adapted to the wants of our people, and have no su- periors. All of your articles are likpd.

JOHN F. THOMAS.

Meredosia, III. Feb. 22, 1873. Dr. C. Wakefield & Co. : Please send me some more Cough Syrup ; the fact is, the measles are all over this town, and ve find nothing so good for it as vour Cough Syrup. N. C. BUSHNELL.

ADVICE TO INVALIDS.

The invalid should study the laws of life and eat to live, instead of merely to gratify a morbid appetite. Plain nourishing food and few dishes at each meal are most conducive to health. Too greasy, stimulating and highly seasoned food and rich deserts, keep the system feverish, the nerves restless, the stomach sour, the blood impure, the patient wakeful, notional and often troubled with evil forbodings. Persons thus afflicted, in order to regulate their diet, should take on their plates for the meal, such articles and quantity as their judgment directs. Eat that and nothing more. Eat very slowly so as to retain each mouthful long enough in the mouth to have every parti- cle of the food well saturated with the salivaofthe mouth, which is the first important principle of digestion. A half an hour should bo consumed in takng even alight meal, but let it be intersperced with cheerful conversa- tion

Enfeebled persons and dyspeptic* may eat freely of lean meat, also, bread made of Graham flour (unbolted wheat flour,) grits of corn, rye or oats stewed like rice and eaten with a little milk, plain apple sauce &c. A raw egg beaten with half a tea-spoon of sugar and a little milk, at break- fast, is very nourishing and digestable.

Dyspeptics who are troubled with acidity of the stom- ach and costive bowels, will do well to eat a lump of Mag- nesia the size of a small hickory nut, about one hour after their hartiest meal once or twice a day. This will neutralize the acid then forming and assist greatly in regulating the action of the bowels.

Rubbing and spatting with the naked hand over a tor- pid liver and stomach every morning assists greatly in renewing their activity.

Persevorence overcomes most all difficulties.

Sweet Cream — is a nice and nourishing article for in- valids, eaten in place of butter on plain paddings and grits. It is found to be far superior to cod-liver oil for con- sumptives, and much more paletable.

Pies — are often indigestible because the crust becomes soaked with the juice of the pie, then will not cook but remains very soggy.

Apple Pie that is Digestible. — Mix up your crust in every way as \>ou would biscuit. Roll out thin; put on the egg glaze; till in with ripe apples sliced nicely and sweetened according to the acidity of the apples; put on upper crust with the glaze on the under side, and you have a pie that is lit to eat. One third corn meal added to pie crust will also make it more light and digestible.

Next, make the cream as follows : Milk 1 coffee cup ; Flour 1 heaping table spoonfull; Sugar 4 spoonfulls; 2

Eggs.

Set the dish of milk in boiling water. Beat all the arti- cles well together, then mix well with the hot milk and stir continually until thickened, take off and flavor with ext. Vanilla. When the cream and cake are both cold, with a sharp thin knife, takeoff a thin slice from the top of the cake, lay it one side, then take off another slice half an inch thick, the third, making about four slices.

Now spread some of the cream on the bottom slice, then lay on the next slice as it came off, then spread the top of that slice, lay on again and so on until the cream is evenly mixed through the cake when it is complete. This is a favorite cake with all persons who have tried it.
