A New Hardy Climber, 
new and beautiful Cltmber, Calestigia pubescens, recently 
introduced from China, by Mr. Fortune, proves perfectly hardy 
in New England, having stood in the grounds here the past winter, 
without the least protection. Trained to a single pillar, say 10 feet 
in heighl, it is a very striking and beautiful object from the middle 
of June till cold weather, during which time it is covered with a 
profusion of its large double flowers, of a delicate rose color. It is 
very ornamental planted in patches like the verbenas; makes an 
admirable screen, and is very effective in young plantations, belts, 
or shrubberies, trailing prettily on the surface, and running up 
among the lower branches of trees in a very picturesque manner. 
It is, therefore, particularly suited for ornamenting cemeteries and 
public gardens. Its culture is very simple, and it thrives in any'good 
garden soil. When required in considerable quantities, it is best to 
start it under glass in February or March, but the tubers may also 
be planted in the open ground in May. The subscriber will send to 
order, by mail or express, October 20th, tubers sufficient for 100 
plants, at $5.00; 50 plants, $3.00; with directions for propagation 
and cu'ture. 
Strong plants in pots, in April, $1 per pair. B. M. WATSON.

Geo. W. Merchant’s Celebrated Gargling Oil. 
Unparalleled in the History of Medicine as the most remarkable Ex¬ 
ternal Application ever discovered for Horses and Human Flesh ! 
This Oil has become so celebrated in the treatment of diseases of 
the horse, and as a consequence the demand becoming great 
throughout the country—that the cupidity of designing men has in¬ 
duced them to palm off upon unsuspecting persons, an imitation arti¬ 
cle for the Genuine Gargling Oil; designing thus to ride their base 
mixture into market upon the popularity of the only true article, 
which now sustains an enviable reputation, which it lias acquired by 
more than fourteen years’ use in the United States and Canada. 
It is allowed by furriers and all who have used it, to be decidedly 
the best application for horses and oilier domestic animals, of any 
now in use, and may be used as an internal remedy in some cases, 
with surprising results 
A faithful trial of this remedy will satisfy any person that the 
many cures it proposes to perform are neither magnified nor mis¬ 
represented. 
The following among many others, in the cure of which this Oil 
has been completely successful, and in which other pretended reme¬ 
dies bad entirely failed :— 
Spavins, Sweeney , Ringbone. Windgalls, Poll Evil , Callous , Crack¬ 
ed Heels , Calls of all kinds, Fresh ivounds, Sprains, Bruises, Fistu¬ 
la, Sitfast, Sand Cracks , Strains, Lameness , Foundered Feet, Scratch¬ 
es or Grease , Mange, Rheumatism, Bites if Animals , External Poi¬ 
sons, Painful Nervous Affections, Frost Bites , Boils , Corns, Whit¬ 
lows, Burns and Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands, Cramps, Con¬ 
traction of the Muscles, Swellings, Weakness of the Joints, Caked 
Breast, fyc. 
Remarkable Power which the Gargling Oil pos¬ 
sesses in reducing Morbid Animal Fungus, or 
Excrescences. 
Extract of a letter, dated. Sunbury, Pa., Aug. 2, 1850. 
Dr. G. W. Merchant— Sir —I must relate a new case in which 
your Gargling Oil has done great things. 
I heard a man telling to-day that his little girl had a sore knee that 
had had a thick scab on for a long time. He had a Doctor attending 
it, but lie could do nothing with it. What it was I do not know, but 
the scab was from a half, to one inch thick, and covered the whole 
knee-pan. He said he had the Gargling Oil in the house, and it 
struck him that it might cure. He put it on, and in two days half the 
scab came of. He then applied it the second time, and in a day or 
two the other half came oft’ and he found a new skin coming on it, 
with the exception of a few places. He applied it the third time 
and now she is perfectly well of it. P. B. MASSER. 
Extract of a letter ordering a new supply of Gargling Oil, dated, 
North Bergen, N.'Y., Aug. 20, 1850. 
Dr. G. W. Merchant— Sir —I have sold all but one bottle of the 
Gargling Oil you sent me. It gives most excellent satisfaction to 
every one to whom I have sold, whether they use it as a common 
Liniment in their families or on their horses. 
Please send me two dozen of each size bottles, as I think I shall 
sell it in about that proportion. Respectfully, 
D. F. MERRILL.
