SHRIVER'S CELEBRATED REMEDY
FOR THE
PREVENTION AND CURE
OF
BILIOUS DISEASES.
It includes all Diseases of a Bilious Nature, it cures all Bilious Com- plaints, from a slight attack to that of Bilious Fever, every form of Intermittent and Remittent Fevers, Chills and Fever, Ague and Fever, Dumb Agues, and all diseases that originate through Diseased Bile.
This medicine has been used for years in private practice, and its virtues have been so tested that it has far exceeded any remedy that has yet been before the public for the Prevention and Cure of the above named diseases. It has been faithfully tested and found to cure when every other medicine has failed, and is now confidently recommended to the public as the only safe and effectual remedy yet discovered for the freeing of Bile, and the greatest feature of this medicine is, beside the cure, that it can be taken by all, as it contains no Quinine, Arsenic, or Mercury, and is free from all Poisonous Ingredi- ents, and while using the patient need not be confined to the house or restricted in diet. This remedy is not intended to check only, but it will certainly eure.
Persons who are subject to Chills and Fevers in the Spring and Autumn ought certainly to use this medicine, and by so doing they will never have a future attack.
This remedy will be sent FREE OF POSTAGE to any part of the United States, with full directions for use, on the receipt of $1 00.
PREPARED ONLY BY
D. C. SHRIVER,
BALTIMORE, MD .,
To whom all orders must be addressed.

TO ALL PERSONS USING STEAM BOILERS. WOODRUFF'S PATENT ANTI-FRICTION
STEAM AND FIRE
REGULATOR,
COULENTLEY
FOR STEAM BOILERS,
PATENTED OCTOBER 23, 1855,
Made under and combined with Timothy Clark's Patent, dated August 21, 1847. The wants of the public using Steam have for a long time ca led for a machine to answer the following purpose, which this Regulator is guaranteed to perform to the full satisfae- tion of all who may give it a trial.
It is of the utmost importance and advantage to all sizes of Boilers, in its perfectly con- trolling both the fire and st am by its extreme sensitiveness and durability, being construct- ed on a natural law, very simple, self-acting and anti-friction. It will save a very large per centage of the fuel by partially closing the damper and preventing the heat from pass ing through the chimney; will consumc more of the gasses, and so regulate the draft of the fire that it will give just the amount of steam required. keeping it at that point, thereby preventing explosions, or any unnecessary strain on the boilers, or loss of steam through the safety-valve, and will also preserve the Boilers, Grate Bars and Furnace Fronts, by keeping the heat regular; will attend the Damper in a better manner and more accurately than any Engineer possibly cau, should he devote his whole time and attention to it, and can be changed in an instant to keep the steam at any number of pounds required.
We refer to nearly all of the Editors in this city now using them, and all others having them in use, for the merits of this Regulator. For recommendations received from the U. S. Government and others, for the price of machines, &c., inquire of the l'atentee,
JOSEPH WOODRUFF,
At the Baltimore Steam Boiler Works, Front St., near Lombard, Or C. W. BENTLEY, Esq., Agent, at the same place.
Ar Circulars or l'amphlets, with full description, will he sent by mail upon application. N. B .- The public are hereby cautioned against infringing either of the above Letters Patent, granted by the Government of the United States. The original one, dated August 21st, 1847, is for an elastic vessel in combination with the steam and damper.

This Seminary of Learning, in- tituted for the liberal education of Young Ladies, was created a College proper by the Legislature of Maryland, December session, 1849, withi authority to eonfer degrees, and endowed with all the rights and privileges of the most favored female institutions.
There are two departurents in the Institution-the COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT and the PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT, with their appro- priate branches of learning. The course of study in each is three years, designated by as many dif- ferent elasses.
COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
The course of instruction is intended to develop the intellectual, social aud moral fa- culties ; and by imparting a thorough, practical, accomplished and Christian education, fit the pupil for the faithful discharge of the responsible duties that await her iu life.
Great pains will be taken to promote intellectual advancement, by rendering the ac- quisitiou of knowledge pleasant, and by training the pupil to correct habits of thought and reflection.
The proper exercise of the social feeling's will be encouraged, by inculcating whatever belongs to refined manners and dignified courtesy in our intercourse with others; while reading, recitations and expositions from the Bible, will familiarize the mind with the truths of our holy religion, and imbue the heart with right principles of action, and rules for the government of life.
The situation is agrecable, in a retired and beautiful part of the city, and the build- ings have been arranged with great judgment, and have study and recitation rooms se- parate, with every convenience for boarding and day pupils. Boarders reside with the family of the president, and are under his parental guardianship.
The accommodations for boarders have recently been increased, by the erection of an additional story on the main edifice, and a new building, 60 feet long and five stories higli, with chemical hall, library, painting aud reading rooms, bath rooms, &c.
The Institutiou takes rank with our oldest and best Seminaries, and enjoys a liberal patronage from the city of Baltimore, and from the Middle, Southern and Western States. The summer session will open April 15th, but pupils will be received at any time.
