EVENING STAR. Sxow.—An editor of a paper in the interior is rejoicing at the melting of snow, which has covered the ground in his neighborhood since Christmas. He gives vent to his feelings in the words of the poet: «* Farewell, old snow ! You’ve been enjoyed, you have old fellow ! Even by the elder people, whose top-knots Are whitened for the other side of Jordan River: and by the young folks, the cheeks of whom, Though dipped in the deep carnation of the jeathiess Rose, i made redder and redder—even a8 re As an awful great big blood beet.

AYER’S PILLS NEW AND SINGULARLY SUCCESS- ful for the cure of all bilious dis- eases—Costiveness, Indigestion, Jaundice, Drop- sy, Rheumatism, Fevers, Gout, Nervousness, Humours, Irritability, Inflammations, Headache, Pains, in the Breast, Side, Back, and Limbs, Female Complaints, &c.,&c. Indeed, very few are tbe diseases which a purgative med'cine is not more or leas required, and much sickness and sufferi t be prevented if a harmless but effectual Catfirtic were more freely used No person can feel well whilea costive habit of body ils; besides it soon generates serious and often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judicous use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or produce the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses all over the land. Hencea reliable family physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has nm perfected with consummate skillto meet thatdemand. An extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Pa- tients, has showae results surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures heve been effected beyond belief, were they not sub- stantiated by persons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid the suspicioa of un- truth. Among the eminent gentlemen who have testi- fied in favor of these Pills, we may mention: Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high Professional character is endorsed by the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States ROBERT C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen., to England tJOHN B. FITZPARICK, Catholic Bisho; of Boston; also Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practic: Chemist ot New Y ork City, endorsed by Hon. W. L. MARCY, S<creiary of Sfate. WM. B. ASTOR, the riehest man in America 8. LELAND & Co., Proprietors of the Metro- politan Hotel, and others. These Pills, the result of long investigation and study, are offered tothe public asthe best and most complete which the present state of medical sciencecanafford. They ure compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only cf Ve etable remedies extracted by Chemical process in a state of purity, and com bined together in such a manner as to insure the best results. This system of composition for medicines has been found in Cherry Pectoral and Pilis both, to produce a more efficient :emedy than had hitherto been obtained by eny process The reason is perfectly obvious ‘While by the old mode of composition, every medicine is bur- dened with more er less acrimonious and injuri- ous qualities, by this each individual virtue only that 1s desired for the curative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qualities of each sub stance employed are left bebind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evi- dent the effects should prove as they hasepr ved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a more pow- erful antidote o disease thad any other medicine keown to the world. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the biood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and cther organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de- rangements as are the irst origin of disease.

Success to the genius whose tonic we say, ‘Turns back to its color the Hair that was gray. SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING !—By using Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, gra haircan be permanently restored to ite original color. The subjoined certificate was received from Johnson & Stone, Gardner, Me , and is but one of the many instances that are dally coming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It is no peneot promeniatiest ; but a self-evident truth, as hundreds of our community can testify.— Bos- ton Herald. Ganrvner, Me, June 22, 1892. Mrz. H. Dyes—Dear Sir: I have used two bot- tles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say it isthe greatest discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Hair. Before using it was a man of seventy. My bair has now at- tained its original color. You can recominend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind Yours respectfully, DAN’L N. MURPHY Car.yzg, Ill., June 27, 1853. Ihave used Prof O J. Wood's Hair Restora- tive, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as 1 thought, prematurely gray; but by the use of the ‘: Restorative” it has resumed its original color, and, I have no doubt, permanently so, SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. HAIR RESTORATIVE .—laourcolumnsto- day will be found Prof. Wood’s advertisement of the above article, to whieh we call attention. Whiat it has done, we have witnessed pen sev- eral of owr acquaintances in St. Louis. Hair once gray met our view, black or brown as the case might be, being the color of early manhood; and as fineand glossy as silk, and that without an: other application than the Restorative. If it has done this upon others, will {t not do the same for any of our readers whose ‘‘frosty prows?? were once like the ‘sraven locks”? of Lothiel’s warlike chief. if they will try it. We think so.—Jackson ville Constitutional, Oct. 5, 1853. THE @REATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.—It seldom occurs that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines, restora tives, or anything of the kind, for we have a pre- aus reer most np them. But candor com- 's us to invite attention to the advertisement o: Preteacer Wood's Hair Restorative. We are ‘oo yes to require anything of the kind, butsome stances of its use have come to our knowledge which almost assures us that it ix a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming prematurely gray. Itis not a ‘‘ Hair Dye,” but upon its ap- Facstion, as directed, the effect is produced upon he skin, which brings out the original colored hair, without stiffness. and gives it a glossy and natural Sd paper We have seen persons who have used it, and are much pleased with it.
