ECLECTIC SERIES. REST AND CHEAPEST
SCHOOL BOOKS EVER PUBLISHED.
The eclectic series of school books was projected by
that well known friend and advocate of popular educa-
tion, Professor William H.McGuffey, of the University of
Virginia, whose life has been spent in the west and south,
where his active labors as a judicious instructor have
gained him the approbation of all lovers of a sound,
practical, and progressive education. The reading liooks
tiearing his name have lieen proved by actual trial, and
are now more extensively used than others, and are daily
receiving the adoption and approval of the most intelli-
gent and discriminating teachers of the land.
Professor Pinneo, author of the grammar, for ten years
a professor in Charlotte Hall Institute, Maryland, has
furnished, in the grammars bearing his name, yhat are
regarded, by all who have examined them, as model text-
books of the English language.
Professor Ray, from Wood county, Virginia, one of the
most able mathematicians and practical instructors in the
country, has supplied what has long been much needed: a
simple, progressive, aud thorough series of text-books on
arithmetic and algebra

CHEMICAL EXTRACT OP
McGuffey's Eclectic Third Reader, for middle classes;
cha«te and instructive lessons in prose and poetry
McGuffey's Eclectic Fourth Reader, for more advanced
classes; elegant extracts in prose and poetry. McGuffey's
Eclectic Fifth Reader, (Rhetorical Guide;) a rhetorical
guide fop the highest classes. The Hernán*' Reader, for
female seminaries; elegant extracts in prose and poetry.
The above spelling and reading books have few equals,
and no superiors; which is evinced by the fact, that in
schools where they were, foretime, superceded by the
novelty of other books, McGuffey's have been re-adopted,
to the exclusion of all others, experience having proved
their greater practical utility in the school-room; and in
view of the large amount of matter they contain, aud the
low prices at which they are sold, they are very much
cheaper than any other similar works.
Bfcar.LSH Gbaxxak.- -Pinneo's Primary Grammar, on
the analytic method; a complete work for beginners in
the study. Pinneo's Analytical Grammar; a full and
complete treatise, for academics and schools. Pinneo's
English Teacher, in which Is taught the structure of sen-
tences by analysis and synthesis; an admirable work on
the analysis of English sentences.
Professor Pinneo's new works are model class books on
the subject of English grammar. This study, usually drv
and uninteresting to learners, is rendered in these vol-
umes attractive and interesting. They are strikingly
simple, progressive and thorough in their plan and ar-
rangement, and enable pupils to become good grammari-
ans. They are the cheapest works of the kind published.
Arithmetic.—Ray's Arithmetic, part first; simple les-
sons for the little learners. Ray's Arithmetic, part sec-
ond; a complete text-liook in mental arithmetic, by induc-
tion and analysis. Ray's Arithmetic, part third, for
schools and academies; a full and complete treatise oil
the inductive and analytic methods of instruction.
Numerous and skilliul instructors regard the arithme-
tics of Professor Ray as the most simple, progressive,
methodical and thorough class books oa the subject ever
before offered to American teachers; and they are at least
twenty per cent, cheaper than other arithmetics of like
size, and of an eqqpl amount of matter. These volumes
are the result of a practical experience in teaching; and
they are prepared in compliance with the solicitation of
many friends of education, who were cognizant of the
marked success of their author as an'instmetor.
' Algebra. — Ray's Algebra, part lirst, for common
schools aud academies; a simple, progressive, aud ele-
mentary treatise. Ray's Algebra, part second, for ad-
vanced students in academies, and for colleges; a prog-
ressive, lucid, and comprehensive work.
The great excellence of liay's arithmetics warranted
the expectation that an algebra, by the same author,
would be an improvement ou all similar treatises. Ray's
Algelira has the approbation of the most judicious e luca-
tors, and is superceding all others in many of the best
schools in the United States.
Each part of the arithmetical course, as well as the
algebraic, is a complete book iu itself, aud is sold separ-
ately." *
All the foregoing books have been compiled expressly
for the eclectic educational series. Their authors are
practical teachers; men of acknowledged ability and
learning, who have long been identiiied with, aud have
constantly labored for. the advancement of the cause of
education. The several books embraced in this series are
admitted, because of their merit, the excellent style of
their manufacture, and the quantity of matter contained
in them, to be the cheapest class books published in the
United States.
In Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas. Kentucky. Ten-
nessee. Georgia, Alabama. Louisiana, and other States,
the entire eclectic series is being adopted in the best j
schools, in preference to other books In Texas they are j
being adopted as an excellent, economical, and uniform j
series of class books. For sale in Houston, by

leads to consumption. Lungwort: This is a plant, the
virtues of which are known to but few. It l^xs lieen said,
by the most learned men of all times, that "nature has
provided a remedy for each and every disease," aad the
discoveries that are daily made go to prove its truth.
Lungwort is doubtless the remedy designed by nature for
consumption. Its healing properties are truly wonderful,
and the rapidity with which it cures the worst cases of
ulcerated lungs, soothing and subduing all irritation
almost immediately, is a proof of its adaptation to this
disease. These two articles, combined with other purely
vegetable ingredients, form a medicine that is certain to
cure the worst cases of consumption, if taken before the
sufferer is entirely pro.-trated. Do not be discouraged; a
trial can do.no harm, but will convince the mo.- t sceptical
of its real worth. Thousands of consumptive persons
have been deceived repeatedly in buying medicines which,
were said to Ik; infallible cures, but which have proved
only palliatives; but this medicine is not only palliative,
but a cure for ulcerated lungs. It contains no deleterious
drugs, and one trial will prove its astonishing eflicacy
better than any assertions or certificates in curing con-
sumption, and all diseases of the lungs and liver, such as
spitting of blood, coughs, pain in the side and chest,
night-sweats, etc- Caution: To protect our own, as well
as the interest of the consumptive sufferer, we are obliged
to caution all to find the signature of Cornstoek A Brother
on the wrapper; without this it is a worthless counterfeit.
Remember this.
CARLTON'S LINIMENT FOR THE PILES, etc: It
is now used in the principal hospitals, and in the private
practice in our countiy, by an immense number of indi-
viduals and families, first and mo-t certainly for the cure
of the piles, and also extensively and effectually as to
baffle credulity, unless where its effects are witnessed ex-
ternally in the' following complaints: Dropsy swellings;
rheumatism, acute or chronic, giving immediate ease;
sore throat; bruises, sprains, burng, etc. Sores and ulcers:
whether fresh or of long standing, and fever sores. Its
operation upon adults and children in reducing rheumatic
swellings, and loosening coughs and tightness of the chest
by relaxation of the parts, has bc-n surprising beyond
conception. The common rotnark of those who have used
it in the piles, is, "It acts like a charm." It is warranted
to please any person that will try it. Caution: Never
buy it unless you find the fac simile signature of Corn-
stock A Brother, proprietors, on the wrapper.

dandruff, strengthens the roots, imparts health and vigor
to the circulation, and prevents the hair changing color,
or getting grey. 2. It causes the hair to curl beautifully
when done up in it over night. This Balm is made from
the original receipt procured from the original Turkish
hakim [physician] of Constantinople,¿there it is univers-
ally used. TTie Turks have always been celebrated for
their wonderful skill in compounding the richest perfumes
and all other toilet articles. In Turkey, the aromatic
herbs, etc, of which this Balm is composed, are almost
universally known and used for the hair. Hence a case
of baldness, or thin bead of hair, is entirely unknown in
that country. We wish but one trial to be made of it;
that will do more to convince you of its virtues than all
the advertisements that ean be published, and that all
may be able to test its virties. it is put up in large bot-
tles, at the low price of 50e bottle. Remember, the
genuine has the signature of Comstock A Brother on the
splendid wrapper.
FOR THE MARRIED. " 3e ye fruitful, anil multi-
ply," is a command that should be cheerfully obeyed by
the children of men. Dr. Luzette's Juno Cordial, or
Procreative Elixir, prescribed ts an effectual restorative
in cases of debility, impotenc.-. or barrenness, aud all
irregularities of nature. It is all that it professes to be,
viz: Nature's great restorative, and remedy for those in
the married state without offspring. It is a certain cure
for seminal emissions, general debility, gleet, weakness of
the genital organs, nervous aTections. leucorrhcea, or
whites. As an invigorating medicine it is unequalled.
Also, a certain remedy for incipient consumption, indi-
gestion, loss of musc'ilar eneigv, physical lassitude,
female weakness, debility, etc. h is warranted to please
the user in any of the above complaints, and is of price-
less value to those without oftipring. Caution extra:
Find the name of Comstock A Brother oa the wrapper,
and never buy it unless you find the above name, as it
has been extensively counterfeited of late. Avoid the
counterfeit as you would poison.

tracted and feverish feet, wounds, bruises in the flesh,

horses.
CARLTON'S RING-BONE CURE, for the cure of
ring-boue, blood-spavin, wind-galls, aid splint; a certain
remedy.
CARLTON'S CONDITION-POWDERS for HORSES
and CATTLE: The changes of weather and season, with
the change of use and feed, have a very great effect upon
the blood and sinuous fluids of horses. It is at t hese changes
they require an assistant to nature to throv off any disorder
of the fluids of the bady that may have been imbibed, and
which, if not attended to, will result in tie yellow water,
heaves, worms, botts, etc. All of which wJl lie prevented
by giving one of these powders, and will a any time cure
when auy symptoms of disease appear, if used in time.
They purify the blood, remove all inflamma ion and fever,
loosen the skin, cleanse the water, and Uvigorate the
whole body, enabling them to do more work with the
same feed. The action of these powders U direct upon
all the secretive glands, and therefore they luve the same
effect upon the horse, the ox. the ass, and all herbivorous
animals. All diseases arising from or prodicing a liad
state of the blood, are speedily cured by them Caution:
Remendier, and ask for Cat-Ron's Coudition-pcwders, aud
take no othei-s.
CARLTON'S NERVE and BONE LINIJTENT, for
lit MISES, and for the cure of all diseases f man or
>iea«t that require external application, and for contracted
cords and muscles, strengthens weak limbs, ard is also
used for sprains, bruises, saddle-galls, swelled ltgs. sores
of all kinds on horses. Carlton's articles for horses and
cattle are prepared from the recipe of a very ceebrated
English farrier, and will cure, in ninety-nine case« out of
one hundred, any of the above complaints. Tlnv have
been used by farmers, livery men, stage proprietors and
others, with the most marked and decided success. Cau-
tion: None can be genuine, unless you find the nunc of
J. Carlton Comstock on the wrapper of each article. Re-
member this, as their articles have been extensively .'oun-
terfeited. of late. Look, and find the proprietor's nunc,
J. Carlton Comstock, etc. Never btiv without.
