! HOUSTON MALE AND FEMALE
m ACADEMY.
The Principal of this Institution would respectfully
inform his patrons that he has secured the services of
D. C. FARMER, A. M.,
Late of Tennessee, as an Instructor in the Academy.—
Mr. Farmer has had five years experience in teaching,
and is well qualified to fill the place for which he has
been engaged.
This Institution Is now established on a permanent
basis, and the Principal confidently refers to his patrons
in this city, and elsewhere, as to Its success in instruc-
tion. The government of the Academy Is mild, though
firm, decisive and uniform. Harshness and severity are
always avoided. Strict order, prompt obedience, and
constant Industry are required as the only means of se-
curing the ends of the Teachers and fulfilling the hopes
of the patrons. The morals and deportment of the pu-
pils are especially cared for, and carefully guarded.—
Thoroughness in aU the departments of an academical
education is kept in view—scholars taught to think
and to rely upon their own e. orts for success. A dally
record of the behavior and recitation of the scholars
kept, and a monthly report sent to their parents or
guardians. But while a spirit of emulation is thus ex-
cited, higher motives to diligence are presented by ap-
peals to the understandings and consciences of the pu-
pils, as moral and accountable beings. Strict attention
paid to the physical as as well as the moral and intellec-
tual training of the pupils.
The regular course of Instruction in this Institution
includes a Primary Department, a Junior, a Middle, and
a Senior Class. The studies of each of the classes occu-
py one year,

Important toPemalcs—Dr Cheese man's
Pills. ••The combinations of ingredients in th.'se
Pills, is the result of a long and extensive practice;
they are mild in their operation, and certain of re-
storing nature to its proper channel. In every in-
stance have the Pills proved successful. They are
certain to open those obstructions to which females
are liable, and bring nature into its proper channel
to a healthy one. No female can enjoy good health
unless she is regular; and whenever an obstruction
takes place, whether from exposure, cold, or any
cause, in general health imnMBiately begins to de-
cline, and the want of such a remedy has been the
cause of so many comsumptions among young fe-
males. Headache, paiu in the side, palpitation of
the heart, loathing of food, and disturbed sleep, do
most always arise from the interruption of nature;
aud whenever that is the case, the Pills will invari-
ably remedy all these evils. Inall cases of painful
menstruation, or nervous and spinal affections in
the back and limbs, lowness of spirits, hysteries,
k.c. Nor are they less efficacious in the cure of
Leucorrhcea, commonly called the 4iWhites.M These
Pills.should never be taken during pregnancy as they
would be sure to cause a miscarriage. Warranted

to life or health. Full and explicit directions which

N. B.—Those whofprefer may consult Dr. Locx-
row. upon which his book treats, either person-
ally or by mail. His medicines often cure in the
short space of six days, and completely and entirely
eradicate all traces of t&ose disorders which copaiva
and cubebs have so lon£ been thought an antidote,
to the ruin of the health of the patient. His "French
Secret*' is the great continental remedy for that
class of disorders which, unfortunately, physicians
treat with mercury, to the irretrievable destruction
of the patient's constitution, and which all the «ar-
saparilla in the world cannot cure.
Dr. LOCKROW medicines are free from all min-
eral poisons, and put up in a neat and compact form
which can be sent by Express or Mail, and may be
taken in a public or private house, or while travel-
ing, without exposure to the most intiaiate friend or
room mate, or hindrance from business or study, and
no important change in the diet is necessary. Me-
dicines sent to any part ofthe Union, according to
