The annexed card from Miss Jane Starncs fully explains itself, und while many will re gret the necesssity which prompts her to retire ns a nurse for the sick, they can testify to her great efficiency in that enpneity : Editort LaurcnsvilU Herald: I ask a small spaco in your paper to say to my friends and the public that I am necessitated, from long service and advancing ago, to retire from tbo respon sible duty and labor as a nurse for the sick. For noarly a quarter of a century I have been almost unremittingly cm ployed in that capacity, and for tbo past seven months have had only two weeks rest, and been absent from my homo nearly the entire time. Since I began to nurse tho sick?nearly twenty-four years ago?I have on several different occa sions watched at tho bedside and minis tered to tho sick for forty-eight hours, consecutively, (in one or two cases oven longer than this) without rest or sleep. Of eourso these long watches were not, required of mo by tbo Physicians in at tendance, or by tho frionds of tho pa tients, but stich was my anxiety and sympathy for the sick that I was un willing to leave them until forced to do so from sheer exhaustion. How efficient and successful I have been in my bum ble capacity as a nurse, I leave othors to say. For the reasons above stated, there fore, I feel it due to my own health to re quest that I be allowed to take the much needed rest and recuperation, at least until auch time ns I shall fool able to re sumo a labor which I regarded a duty rathor than ono of love. And least of all have I labored for the pecuniary reward that resulted, though I received all tho compensation I ever required. Permit me to say, in conclusion, that I havo been trented everywhere, and by all among whom I have beon thrown during a long scries of years, with tho utmost kindness and consideration ; and I shall over hold the many acquaintances and frionds I havo formed in high es teem and fond recollection.

It has done mo more good than all other medicines I have ever used."?F. Mellows, 162 Broadway, Chelsea, Mass.
