PERILS OF AMERICAN WOMEN: or, A Doc- The professed object of this work, designed especially for women, is to make plain those laws of their being, which will enable them to ward off disease and those failings which nearly all our American women suffer physically. It teaches them to shun the fearful consequences of indiscretion, and how to be healthier but better in every sense. The application of medical terms would only lead to confusion and confound those who read them, so the author has written this work in a language that can be fully understood, and, by reference to the illustrations, made as plain as it could possibly be. The prescriptions are written in plain English. The work is heartily endorsed by Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, and contains her autograph letter. It will be sold by female canvassers only, and the publishers would like to have an intelligent woman in every town in the United States to take orders, and only those who can give testimonials as to character and standing are wanted. PEPTOGENIC MILK POWDER. By means of this digestive powder, with the very simple and practical process originated and perfected by us, the caseine of cow's milk is modified and pre-digested, and other essential components so supplied as to yield a product almost identical in physiological, chemical and physical properties with human milk. "Yields a humanised milk which in taste, physical characters, and chemical constitution approaches very closely to woman's milk." ALBERT R. LEEDS, Ph.

Tongaline Liquor Tongae Salicylatus THE NEW REMEDY FOR NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATISM. Tonga is a product of the Tonga or Friendly Islands, and has long been used as a domestic remedy by the natives of the Fiji Group. It was introduced to the notice of the medical profession by Drs. Ringer and Murrell, of London, England, who have made some very thorough and most Batisfactory experiments as to its therapeutic value. Tongaline is a combination of Tonga with powerful salicylates, whereby the remedial properties of the Tonga are secured and increased. Each fluid drachm of Songatine represents: Tonga, 30 grains; Extractum Cimicifuga Racemosa, 2 grains; Sodium Salicylate, 10 grs.; Pilocarpin Salicylate, 1-100 grain; Colchicin Salicylate, 1-500 grain.

Fluid Extract Smilax Sarsaparilla, Fluid Extract Stillingia Sylvatica, Fluid Extract Lappa Minor. Fluid Extract Phytolacca Decandra, aa, two ounces, Tincture Xanthoxylum Carolinianum, one ounce. Mix.-Take a teaspoonful iu water three times a day before meals, and gradually increase to tablespoonful doses. CAUTION. "In making the fluid Extracts there is a great risk of getting a remedy less efficient than the original Indian decoction, because the manufacturer may use roots that have been kept too long, and lost some of their active principles; while the decoction used on the plantation was always made of fresh roots just gathered from the woods. In making the Fluid Extraets, we should therefore, be careful to have them made from the roots recently gathered."(Extract from British Med. Four.) REMARKS. THE WM. S. MERRELL CHEMICAL Co., of Cincinnati, offer the formula of DR. MCDADE, prepared in accordance with the principles so strenuously held by them for more than thirty years, viz: that the volatile elements of many plants are dissipated by the drying process, thereby injuring, if not wholly destroying, their medicinal properties. The use of fresh drugs in all cases is therefore a necessity, in order to secure reliable preparations. Please specify "DR. MCDADE'S Prescription" (Merrell) in pint bottles.
