Humbuggery.

FOR THE UNION. Ib it not passing strange that, notwithstanding our pa]XMH teem with warningH against tree peddlers, ahS our people have, times w ithout number, been grossly deceived by them, that they will continue to patronize every such feliow tint comes along?— More esfiecially are our people captivated by Hie beautifrillv colored plates, representing the different fruits, the ' trees of which they state they have for ! sale. A!>! lite very of these elegant plates makes their mouths water! Poor humanity cau not resist tlie appeal, and down go their names for a future delivery. Alas, how often their hopee turn to ashes! The splendid lona, fjalein.or Delaware grape vines 1 refuse to yield,if they yield at all, anyi thing but tlie most common and often I worthless fruit; while the White I Grape and tbo Versailles in the first ' crop salute the nostrils with the bed- | buggy smell of the common Black ; currant. | What certainty have vou that the I apple, pear, or any other kind of frntt I trees the peddler oflers for sale are I what they are represented to be? There iis none whatever. They can draw any , kind of litpior they want from the same barrel. The great majority of tree peddlers | buy the very refuse of the nursery, and they always buy the lowest jU'ices ' they can get, regardless of kind or quality. This worthless stock is sold ito our farmers, with large and captiI voting names, and often at prices much i above what good and reliable trees can ' be bought tor at our home nurseries, i Our people have been cheated enough j by these fellows, one would think, not to need any further warning on this head, but such is not the fact. The tree peddler is still a living institution and will continue to thrive so long as jieople love to be gulled and will pay - a big price for the gulling. I Our advice still continues to lie, Let [ them alone, and buy your trees, vines, ' etc., at home of those you know, and of men whom you can make responsible for every tiling they sell you. lona.

M. JACKSON, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Twenty-two years risen they were flrot introduced Into thiu country from Germany, during which time they hare undoubtedly performed more cure*, and benefited suffering hqmanity to a greater extent, than any other remedies known to the pnbHe. These remedies will effectaally cure Liver Complaint, Jauu dice » ria, Chronic or Nervous Debility, Cbron is Diarrhoea, Disease of the Kidneys, and all Diseases arising from n Disordered Liver, Storeaeh, or Intestines. DEBILITY, Resulting from any Cause whatever# FROSTRATION OF THE SYSTEM, induced by Severe Labor, Hardnhipe. Exposure, Fewers, dhero !• no medlelne extant equal to these refltw dies Ir such cases. A tone and vigor is imparted te tbe whole system, the appetite is strengthened, food Is enjoyed, the stomach digests promptly, the blood Is purified, the complexion becomes sound and ikoaltby, the, yellow tinge is eradicated from tbe eyes, a bloom is given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous invalid becomes a strong and healthy being. PXBSOJTS ADVANCED IN LIFE, And feeling the hand of time weighing heavily upon them, with all Its attendant ills, will find in.the use of this BITTEJCS, or tbe TONIC, an elixir that will Instil new life into their veins, restore In i measure the enercry and ardor of more youthful ds ws. build np their shrunken forms, and give health and happiness to their remaining years.

To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the TOMIC, Is especially recommended. WEAK AND DELICATE CHILDREN Are made strong by the use of either of theso remedies. They will cure every case of MARASMUS, Without fail. Thousands of certificates have accumulated in th® hands of the proprietor, but space will allow of the publication of but a few.

A GREAT REMEDY FORTHB CURE OF THROAT AND LUNG DISEASES. Db. PINE TREE TARJgRDIAL. It is the vital principle of tKa^M*Tree, obtained by a peculiar process in tire distillation of the tar, by which its highest medical properties are retained, X." It is tbe only safe-guard and reliable remedy which has ever been prepared from tbe juice of the Pine Tree. It invigorates the digestive organs and restores the appetite. It strengthens the debilitated system. It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels frdm tbe systeffl the corruption whifh scrofula breeds on the lungs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the air-passages of the lungs. Its healing principle acts upon the Irritated surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating to the diseased pai& relieving pain and subduing inliamation. It is t» result of years of studyandexperiment and ft is offered to the afflicted, with the positive assurance of its power to cure the following diseases, if the patient has not too long delayed a resort to tbe means of cure .- Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat and Breast, Rionchitis, Liver Complaint, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Dlptheria, Ac., Ac. Weare often asked why are not otherremedies in the market for Consumption, Coughs, Colds , and other Pulmonary affections equal to Dr. L, Q Wishart’s Pine Tree Cordial. We answer—--Ist. It cures, not by stopping cough, but by loosening and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy matter collected about tbe throat aud Bronchial tubes, causing irritation and cough. 2d. Most Throat and Lung Remedies’Are composed of anodynes, w hicb allay the cough for awhile, but by their constringing effects, tbe fibers become hardened, and the unhealthy fluids coagulate and are retained tn the system, cans ing disease beyond the control of our most emi nent physicians. 3d. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its assistants. are preferable, because they remove tbe cause of Irritation of the mhcoua membrane and bronchial tubes, assist the lungs to act and throw off tbe unhealthy accretions, and purify the blood thus scientifically making the cure perfect. Dr. Wishart has an file at his office hundreds and thousands of Certificates, from Men and Women of unynestionable character who Were once hopelessly gysedsep to die, but through the Providence of God were completely restored to health by the Pins Tree Tar Cordial.
