THE GREATEST MEDICAL DISCOVERY OF THE AGE. Dr. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, Bas discovered in one of our COMMON PASTURE WEEDs a remedy that cures EVERY KIND OF HUMOR; FROM THE WORST SCROFULA DOWN TOA CON- MON PIMPLE. E HAS TRIED IT IN OVER ELEVEN hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases, (both thunder humor) He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its vir- tue, all within twenty miles of Boston. Two bott'es are warranted to curea nursing sore mouth. One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of pimples on the face. Two to three bottles will clear the system of Diles. Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst canker in the mouth and stom ch. Three to five bottles are warrented to cure the worst case of Erysipelas. One to two bottles are warranted to cure a!! humor in the eyes. Two bottles are warranted to cure running of the earsand blotches among the hair. Four to six bott!es are warranted to cure corrupt and runsing ulcers One bottle will cure scaly eruption of the skin, Two to three bott'es are warranted to cure the worst case of ringworm. ‘Two to three bottles are warranted to cure che most desperate case of rheumatism ‘Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the salt rheum. Five to eight bottles will cure the worst cases of scrofila. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, aud a perfect cure is warranted when the above quantity is taken. Reader, 1 peddied over a thousand bottles of this in the vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of itin everycase Sosure as water will extin- guish tire se sure wi'lthis cure humor. I never sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to me surpris- ing; first that it — in our pastures, in some laces quite plentiful, and yet its value has never n known until I discovered it in 1846—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. in order to give some idea of the sudden rise and o_ popuiarity of the discovery, I will state that in April, 1853, I peddled it, sold about 6 bottles per day—in April, 1864, I sold over 1,000 bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in businesstwenty and thirty years, say that no- thing inthe of patent medicines was ever like lt. There is a universal praise of it from all quarters. In my own practice I always kept it strictly for hum rs—but since its introduction as a general family medicine great and wonderful virines a found in it that 1 never suspected Several cases of epileptic dts—a disease which ‘was always considered incurable, have been cured by a few botiles. U, what a mercy if it will prov tual in all caxes of that awful malady—there are but few who have seen more of it than I have. I know of several cases of Dropsy, all of them aged ple cured by it For the ous diseases the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever acd Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly ia diseases of the Kid- neys, &c., the discovery has done more good tha. any medicine ever known. No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you can and enough of it. Directions for Use.—Adults one table spoonful ¢ day—Children over ten years dessert spoon al _-Chlidren from five to eight years, tea spoon- ful. As no directions can be ap,iicable to allcon stitutions, take sufficient to operate on the bowels twice a day. MANUFACTURED BY DONALD KENNEDY, No. 120 Warren piseag Roxbury, Mass. Paice, Ons DoLLar.

EVENING STAR. New Book. = Tue Lion or Fraxpers; On, tae Battie oF tre Goiven Spurs. By Hendrik Con- ecienee. Baltimore: published by John Murphy, 1855. We thank the publisher for sonding us this volume through our enterprising friend Shil- lington. Not long since, we had occasion te express our gratification that Mr. Murphy has commenced to spread before the American reading world, in its own vernacular, the works of Conscience, whose good taste, deep feeling. purity and depth of thought, are now widely appreciated throughout Europe, where- in his works are highly prised by all who de- sire to cultivate standard of literature which amuses to a charm, while it improves the reader in various ways; and does not injure after the manner of the flashy French novels of the day; novels that cannot safely be placed inthe hands of those whose characters are not only formed, but also formed on models tha! will surely resist corruption however insiduous the form may be in which its approaches arc made. The book in question, is deubly interesting, from the fact that it is a history (rather then a work of fiction) of events in Flanders during her most remarkable and interesting times— in the thirteenth century—the age of chivalry, and especially of her chivalry Our fellow citizens know as little of the de- tails of the history of the Low Countries, well nigh, as of Africa. Yettheir history embraces amine of interesting readimg matter not sco- ond to that of the history of any other country under the sun. Mr. Murphy in publishing this well-performed translation of Conscience’s romantically written account of the most ro- mantic times of Flanders, has laid the foun- dation of the creation of a thirst among us for a more extended knowledze of the histery of that quarter of Europe, which will doubt- less bear good fruit in due time. = aioe Fatal Peep into Vesuvius. S me Germans of good family, on a recent ior, had toiled to the summit cf Mount Veeuvius, and, after resting themselves en that suiphurous bed, they descended the steep ia cline to the mouth of the crater. There was iittle smoke on that day, ani the scientific gentlemen begen to get into danger witho being aware of it. he guides, havirg had quite enough of soft ashes and hard work in the ascent, sat down on the upper rim of the crater, not fecling inclined for more exertion So many people had goxe to oe into the chimney of the infernal regions day after day without avy accident, that these lazy guides referred some sour wine, and a slice or so of lemon sprinkled over with salt—a very com- mon comestible among the lower order of Neapolitans, snd a little siesta, to looking after the souls and bodies: f those entrusted to them One of the most adventurous of the Germans, finding he could bear the little sulphur whieb seemelemitted from the crater, resolved to wae father; but soarcely had ho placed his foot upon an apparently solid projection, thaa the whole crumbled beneath him, and he was precipitated at least one hundred feet. ‘The interior of the crater seems as soft as the exterior, for the first words heard from the un- fortunate man were that he was not hurt In vain he tried to extricate himscif; whatever he grasped mouldered in his gras; nor regain his feet—of this his above were informed. They see become more stupified than the unfortunate vietim ; for, instead of despatching the guides to the Observatory or the Sark age for robes or assistance of some kind, they stood listening to their friend below, who gave them the idea of going elsewbere than where they remained aseless and spell-bound. There is everything in Naples but what is required; and at the Observatory, although ropes must always be iu requst, and atleast, a precautionary utility, yet none could be obtained either there or at the Hermitage ; and the guides were obliged to ‘0 to Resina for that which ought to be at hand. as the meantime the sulphur began to operate upon the poor tellow in the crater, and he felt himself gradually sinking, not only instrength, butir position. With a wonderful self-com- mand be took leave of his friends, being por- fectiy certain that he could not survive the natural dilatory delay of @he Neapoiitans For two long hours did he survive, when his voice got feeblor and feebler. Perhaps as he by slow degrees slid deeper into the crater, hope vanished, vulil the voice was entirely lost. An occasional groan was heard, until after the exniration of the above time, when all was silent. Ths body was many hours afte: rescued by a guide, who descended two hun- dred feet before he found it. Of course, it was perfectly lifeless —the sulphur had suffocated the poor fellow.

Young Ladies’ Allowances. In England, the marriage settieme: tally provide the wife with plaaecsn, of course, according to the fortune a, posite of the parties. It is customary in q also, for a father to give hisdavgbter ayedy allowance for her dress as soon as she the Rubicon of the schook.room, and is what is called ‘out,’ which great ovent takes pl the age of eighteen. Many noblemeu’s daughters, in the very highest cireies, have not more than two hundred ry sterling a year, (one thousand dollars ) his, indeed, is a very inagnificent allowance, many girls have but sixty, and some eontrive to make a yory fiir appearance upon thirty. This, for those moving in society, with morning concerts, dinner parties, and a ball every night, of course demands great ingenuity. Girls, however, are only required to display taste and elegance ; magnificence, whether in silks or jewelry, is not forthem. The sexsun, too in London, lasts but from three to four monthe ; it is the orring and summer which musiin dresses and all cheap fabrics-are worn in the day, in preference to silks. _ Daring the other months of the , there is very little dress required. i ar houses, it is bad taste to wearamy but the most unpretending costume during the day, and for dinner dresses, thore exhibited in London will do. French women possess, to an extraordina: de; » the spirit of order; they are also quic! and clever arithmeticians, and therefore never liable to self deceptions as tothe price of things, as many young ladies with less mathematical heads are apt to be. For instance, a silk is saarked and offered for sule at one dollar and ninety-five cents a yard—“How the young lady, because the only 6 i pres oa ber mind is the one » aa the nin-ty-five cents is not put down es an item, though afterwards, on reflection, it is found tha: two coliare, and not one, should have been the figures impressed on the mind, as it is af- terwards on the purse, A young lady im tho large cities of the United States, should be able to dress tasteful- ly, elegantly, and according to the season, on two hundred dollars a year. Thir, of course, implies some industry and taste on her part— @greatdeni of tidiness and crest care never to wear within doors the costume destined for without. Neatnoss of all the ascessories to the toilette—such as undersleeves and collars, elegance inthe way of dress is cut and ma‘ x extreme uitention to the smothness of the hair, are al! that is required for home. Plain mus- lin, mousseline de laine, and simple braids or curls, well befit household dyties and the fire- side home much better than silks,embroidories, and flowing ribbons These, if worn at all, should be reserved for gala days, the proine- nade, and then with great sobriety as to uantity and color, and invitations to friends ‘rom the social tea-party to the brilliant ball. At watering places no variety cf dress is deemed necessary, excepting at the German baths, so much frequented until within the last year, when the cam aigns of the allied armies, and the fear of a German revolution, keps people homs. At these baths—Baden, Carisbad, Kissengen—the dressing and prom- enadiag began at six in the morning, and are carried on with great vigor at the rate of five torleties 8 day In France the young ladies have no allow- ance, because they sre not permitted to exer- cise either taste or discretion in the choice of their dress—mamma dresses them, and pays moderate and modest bills without slightest murmur. All the expense is for memma, but among some of the higher classes, the mobility of the old Napoleon, and the richer classes, the bankers and brokers, there is a fabulows degree of extravagance. A French woman is, in general, rather inclined te economy than extravagan eatness end taste go a greet way,and have more to de with elegance than we think.
