CAUTION .- To prevent this valuable Essence from being counterfeited, a new Steel Engraving, executed at great cost, will be found on the outside of the wrapper, in order to guard the purchaser against being imposed upon by worthless imitations.

BROWN'S ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER .- We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of this valuable remedy, which, independent of the necessity of its being in every household. should be distributed among our brave volunteers. It is easily carried, and would be the means of saving life, as a teaspoonful in a little water restores a soldier who gives out from fatigue and exposure to the sun, relieves at once affections of the stomach and bowels, and as a Colonel of one of the regiments now on duty in Virginia says, "He would as soon go to the field without gunpowder. as withont F. Brown's Essence of Jamaica Ginger."-Philadelphia Inquirer.

F. BROWN'S ESSENCE OF GINGER AND CHOLERA MIXTURE .- We cannot do the public greater service at this season, than to call their attention to the above valnable remedy, which should be in the hands of every family, while no person about to travel should leave the city without them. Every officer and soldier should have a bottle, as it immediately restores when overcome from fatigue or exposure to the sun, and is indispensable .- Evening Bulletin.

ALSO,

BROWN'S CHOLERA MIXTURE, For the Prevention and Treatment of

CHOLERA AND DIARRHOEA, PREPARED ONLY BY FREDERICK BROWN, Northeast corner of FIFTH and CHESTNUT Streets, Philadelphia. And sold by all respectable Druggists in the United States.

DR. D. JAYNE'S FAMILY MEDICINES

Are prepared with great care expressly for family use, and are so admirably calculated to preserve the health and remove disease, that no family should ever be without them.

THEY CONSIST OF

JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT, for Coughs, Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, and other Pulmonary Affections.

JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE, for Worms, Dyspepsia, Piles, General Debility, &c. JAYNE'S SPECIFIC FOR THE TAPE WORM. It never fails.

JAYNE'S CARMINATIVE BALSAM, for Bowel and Summer Complaints, Colics, Cramps, Cholera, &c.

JAYNE'S ALTERATIVE, for Scrofula, Goitre, Cancers, Diseases of the Skin and Bones.

JAYNE'S AGUE MIXTURE, for the cure of Fever and Ague.

JAYNE'S LINIMENT, or COUNTER IRRITANT, for Sprains, Bruises.

JAYNE'S SANATIVE PILLS, for all Bilious Complaints and Diseases of the Liver ; a valuable Alterative and Purgative Medicine.

JAYNE'S HAIR TONIC, for the Preservation, Beauty, Growth and Restoration of the Hair.

JAYNE'S LIQUID HAIR DYE, also, AMERICAN HAIR DYE, (in powder,) each of which will change the Hair from any other color to a beautiful Black.

These Medicines have now been before the public for thirty years, and during this long period the demand for them has been constantly increasing, and their reputation gradually spreading, until their great curative powers have become known and thoroughly appreciated in all quarters of the world. While, however, the Proprietor is fully persuaded that they will give very GENERAL, if not UNIVERSAL satisfaction, it is not pretended that they are "CURE-ALLS," nor that they are, in all cases and under all circumstances, absolutely infallible. Yet he can truly say, after thirty-six years' experience, in an extensive and diversified practice, and with a full knowledge of the medical qualities and effects of the component parts of each of the above-named articles, that there is no combination of medicines which have been so generally suc- cessful as these, in removing the various diseases for which they are severally recom- mended.

It should be borne in mind, too, that the popularity of these "Family Medicines" is not confined to the illiterate and credulous, but innumerable persons of intelligence and character, occupying the most prominent stations in society,-too honest to impose upon others, and too sagacious to be imposed upon themselves,-not only use, but speak of them in the highest terms of praise, for the uniformity of their success in subduing diseases.

THESE MEDICINES ARE PREPARED ONLY BY

DR. D. JAYNE & SON, 242 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, And may be had of Agents throughout the country.
