GEIMATJLT AND OOS Chemists to the Cotjet, 46, RUE DE RICHELIEU, PARIS -fjIRENCH MEDICINES LUNG DISEASES. BYRUP OF HYPOPHOSPHITE OF LIME. It is the best and most rational of all reme dies against consumption. Under its influence the cough abates, the night sweats cease, ana the patient rapidly recovers health. It gives the same results in cases of coughs, catarrhs, hooping-coughs, and influenza. In comparing this syrup with the other sold under the same name, it will be easy to recognise the superiority of this preparation. Therefore, to avoid any substitution, please to require on the bottle the signature Grimault and Co. NERVOUB HEAD-ACHE AND NEURAL GIA. GUARANA. A single powder of this natural vegetable production is sufficient to cure instantly the most violent sick head-ache. It is the most valuable remedy againt diarrhoea. MATICO—CAPSULES AND LIQUID. Where all other medicines have failed, these preparations will always effect a cure. They insure rapid and extraordinary cure of severe, recent, and chronic eases of private disease. They are found greatly superior to all hitherto known mineral remedies, and to copaiba and cubeb. Require the signature : GEIMAUIT and Co. WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S DISEASES. —SYRUP OF lODISED HORSE RADISH. Patronised for more than twenty years by the Paris Physicians. Cures lymphatism, rachitisra, scrofula, congestion of the glands of the neck, paleness and flabbiness of the flesh, loss of appetite, weakness of constitution, the various eruptions on the face, boils, pimples, and itchings. It is the best remedy against the first stage of consumption, and it is the most powerful depurative known. DR. LERA'S SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF IRON. Clear as spring water and tasteless ; has the advantage over all ferruginous preparations of containing Iron and Phosphorus, which are the elements of blood. It cures chlorosis, pains in the stomach, difficult digestion, dismenorrhea, anoemia, general debility and poorness of the blood, and agrees especially with the most delicate stomachs. ASTHMA. GRIMAtJLT AND Co.'S INDIAN CIG-ABETTES op Cannabis Indica.—Recent experiments in France, England, ana Germany have proved that these cigarettes are a sovereign remedy for the asove distressing affectioas, especially when belladona, stramonium, and opium have failed to give relief. KIQATJD & CO.'S PEEFUMEEY. 45, RUE DE RICHELIEU, PARIS, Patronised by the French Court, and exten sively used in all fashionable circles. ■n IGAU D'S TOLUTI NE, X\) THE TOILET WATER OF THE DAY, Preserves the freshness of the skin and the fairness of the complexion.

MANILLA BOUQUET.; The two favorite perfumes for the handker chief. KANANGA. A new Japanese Perfume. The fashionable Perfume just imported by Messrs. Rigaud & Co. WINSLOWS SOOTHING SYRUP. Mrs. WINSLOW, an old and experienced nurse, has devoted herself for more than thirty years exclusively to the cure of children, t-he has a SOOTHING SYRUP for children teething, which we believe a most invaluable preparation, not only for children teething, but in all eases of dysentery or diarrhoea. We speak of what we know when we say that thie Soothing Syrup acts like a perfect charm in the above cases. We have witnessed the most satisfactory and pleasing results from the use of it upon suffering infants and children in a great variety of cases. It gives universal satis faction, is perfectly safe to the feeblest infant, and pleasant to the taste. We sincerely believe that the mother who has a child suffer ing from any of the above complaints, and neglects to provide this medicine for its relief and cure, is depriving the little sufferer of the remedy of all the world best calculated to give it rest and restore it to health. It is said that one-fourth the children born die under five years of age. As the teething period is tke most critical time, every mother should be prepared to act as nurse and physician ; and no moother should be without Mrs. Wmslow's Soothing Syrup, which is perfectly safe in all cases, and may be had of any medicine dealer. "BBOWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES" Cure Cough, Cold, Hoarseness and Influenza • irritation or Soreness of the Throat; relieve the hacking cough in Consumption, Bronchitis Hooping Cough, Asthma, Catarrh ; clear and strengthen the voice of Singers j indispensable | to Public Speakers.
