 received without name, address, or anything beyond the 

 postmark on envelope by which to identify the sender; this 

 in all cases causes a very great deal of trouble, and fre- 

 quently the sender cannot be identified at all. 



Advertisers are requested when Remitting to give their 

 A'ames and Addresses, and also a Reference to the Adver- 

 tisement which they wish repeated. 



POSTAL ORDERS.— To Advertisers, Subscribers, and 

 Others.— It is very important in Remitting by Postal Order 

 that it should be filled in payable to No. 4J, DJil Hi' LANE, 

 to W. RICHARDS, as, wtiess the number of a Postal Order is 

 known, and it has been made payable at a particidar office, and 

 to a particular person, it is impossible to prevent any person 

 into whose hands it may fall from negotiating it.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS.— 

 Counsel for the Delicate. — Those to whom seasons of

 health. This cooling Ointment perseveringly rubbed upon 

 the skin, is the most reliable remedy for overcoming all 

 diseases of the throat and chest. Quinsey. relaxed tonsils, sore 

 throat, swollen glands, ordinary catarrh, and bronchitis, 

 usually prevailing at this season, may be arrested as soon as 

 discovered, and every symptom banished by Holloway's simple 

 and effective treatment. This Ointment and Pills are highly 

 commended for the facility with which they succesf ully conquer 

 influenza ; the allay in an incredibly short time the distressing 

 fever and teasing cough.
