MUSIC. LADY, who has a thorough knowledge of music, being A taught by the first masters in Europe, and feeling heself fully competent to instruct in thataccomplishment, would wish to devote her time to the instruction of young ladies, on moderate terms. A note addressed to A B. C., at the office of jell 1w*re this paper, shall be punctually attended to. ANTED-By a French young woman, a situation to take W charge of children, or as lady S maid, with a family going to France. She can give the best of references. Address by letter, to M. P. A.. Herald Office. ju10 lw*m FOLLOWING STATEMENT is from one lof the THE most eminent Physicians of New Jersey, and well and favorably known to very many of the citizens of New York. Having seen in the New York papers certain advertisements emanating from P. S. Beekman, I would beg to inform the public that I am acquainted with J. H. Scheuck, and have been so since 1834-that in 1839 he commenced the manufacture of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup in Flemington. I have seen several persons of this vicinity who have been cured of Pulmonary disease by this Syrup when all other means had failed. I am acquainted with P. S. Beekman, and know that the original Pulmonic Syrup had been established several years before he heard of it, and that Beekman has said that it was Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup that cured him. Beekman has told me that he acted as Agent for Mr. Schenck, and had no interest in the business further than the agency. I know, also, that Mr. Schenck is the originator of the Pulmonic Syrup, and believe that Beekinan knows nothing of its composition, and is using every eadeavor to deceive the public. I am a practising physician, residing near Flemington, Hunterdon county, N.J., and am utterly opposed to all Empericism; but having seen the good effects of the Pulmonic Syrup, and believing that an effort is now being made, by every unpiincipled means, to injure an honest and honorable man, it is from a sense of duty that I make the above statement. GEORGE P. REX. M. D. Office exclusively for the sale of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, No. 4 Courtla d street New York. P.S. Beekman, of 491/2 Courtland street, is no longer Agent j14 3t*rh for the sale of Schenck Pulmonic Syrup. REDEMPTION OF NOTES OF INSOLVENT SAFETY FUND BANKS.
