Pink was taken again last night and sent to jail by Justice Donn for an assault and battery on Susan Wise, but this morning anotber charge was added, that of being con- cerned with others in stealing a horse and wagen.

That such is tts character, lsabundantly proved by the fact, that it has been extensively used the last twenty years with unparalleled suc- cess; that its reputation has continued to spread and its sale increase, with little aid from adver- tising or published lists of certificates, (which all know can as easily be had for a worthless preparation as for a meritorious one,) that by itx own intrinsic merit, with the recommendation cf persons benefitted by its use, ithas gained its present popularity; it is not trumpeted to the ‘world as a specitic or cure all, but asa valuable and scientific auxiliary in pulmonary cases, ready at hand, and one that has been generally found to afford relief where most others have been tried witbout material benefit.
