PROTECTION TO AMERICAN IN
DUSTRY.
At a public meeting of the friends of do
mestic industry, held iu Philadelphia, April
lSiitt, the follwing resolutions were
unanimously adopted:—
WHEREAS, the Congressional Cotu'toiut-c
of Ways and Means is instructed to consider
the propriety of revising the Tariff laws,
and to recommend to Cotigre.-a at its next
Session such "legislation upon that subject as
may seenr to be expedient: therefore, Re
solved that the following statement l>e pre
sented to the said Committee a# embodying
the views of the productive industries of this
country:—
First, that the development of our own
resources and the firm possession of our own
markets are much more important than for
eign commerce to the welfare of all the
people of this cation, to the solvency of the
government, and to the attraction of ibe
better class of immigrants; and that by no
other methodcau a durable resumption of
specic payments be attained than by increas
ing American production and checking im
portation.
S'CunJfy, That to maintain such (Kisses
-ion of our own markets, and thus to attain
financial independence, we must be able to
produce at home nearly all the manufactured
articles needed by our people, including
those which require the facilities of great
establishment- of many workmen trairn d to
-pecial arts, and of large capital, and we
nm-t also be eon-iiiuiiy undertaking those
new industries which the advances iu the
arts and the progress of civilization require.
Thirdly, That it i- impossible for -ndi
great establishments to prosper, lor smaller
ones to spring np, and for the new industries j
to take root under a fickle and sometimes i
unfrendly policy which holds them constantly
in fear of revulsions.
Fourthly, That as a means of promoting
regular growth in the productive powers of
our country, it is the duty of the govern
ment to announce, a Ihere to, and steadfastly
act upon the policy of defending its citizens
in their industrial conflict with foreign
nations, of assuring to those who arc sup
porting the government a marked preference
in our markets over aliens who are our rivals
in peace and our foes in war, and of obliging
foreigners who wish to reap tlte advantage j
of the better markets created by our in J
stitntions, to pay toll upon the goods they i
send here, and thus sb > o the expense o!'i
maintaining those institutions.
Fifthly, That a policy of firm and steady j
protection to American industry being dis-j
tinctly announced, a general terifflaw ;hou!d j
be framed embracing the entire range of itu I
ported goods and superseding a i former j
tariff laws, the duties being made specific j
so far as couven titly possible and high |
enough to affo d fair wages and reasonable
profits to such American working-men and
employers as apply themselves with as
siduity, skill, and intelligence to industries
suited to our condition and resources. The
schedule prepared by the I' -nn>ylvania In
du-ttial League, which is founded mainly
upon the legislation (unfortunately not eon
current) of both Houses of Congress, and
upon the Report of the Commissioner of the j
Revenue, and which, while largely inereas- i
ing the free li.-t and converting numerous
ad valorem into specific duties, reduces the
rates upon many articles:, and proposes but
moderate increase in any ease, is worthy of
attention as a serious effort by competent
persons to frame a symmetrical system of
duties on imports.
■Sirthly, That in order to diuiini-h the i
labor of Congress, an 1 to expedite those '
future modifications in tariff" legislation
which the development of n -w indu-tries or •
the changes of trade may from time to time j
render desirable, some department, bureau
or commission, should be created, specifically
charged with the duty ol keeping watch ovet
this subject, with authority to examine
witnesses, make investigations, hear state- '
meets, and to submit to Congress at the
opening of each session a brief" report, ac- I
eompanied, when necee-ary, by a draft of a
bill embodying such legislation as may seem j
expedient
Seventhly, Experience having dearly
shown that the maintenance of domestic
production is the only sure method for re-'
ducing the prices of manufactured goods, it
is grossly unjust to the employers of opera
rives who ask for the legislation needful lor |
keeping their hands employed, to charge j
them with endeavoring to aggrandiie th< m
selves at the expense of the public. They !
do not desire or expect for themselves or I
their employees to escape from the toil and 1
strife which are the common lot of man, but 1
they protest against being obliged to follow
the employers of other countries in ex
perimenting on the degree of degradation
and misery which can lie endured by a
laboring population, and they claim that our
national legislation should be such as to en
a > e our producing classes to enjoy civilizing
1 uences, and t 0 permit employers to ac
quire solidity enough to give steadiness to
manufacturing pursuits.
Jitto/cd, 1 hat a committee consisting of
. lessrs. Joseph \\ barton, Henry C. Lea,
] am ® elters ' aEd Morton McMichael. he
appointed to present the foregoing statement
to the Committee of Ways a „d Means, with
power to confer with that Committee, and
toUke such.amain the premise, as may
conduce to the common welfare
MORTON MCMICHAEL,
C TECS ELDER, Sea-eta ry.
We are heartily glad to see that the
iriends of the American laborer are makiog
UD earnest effort to impress upon Congress
at its next Session the vital importance of
fostering all our own home industry as the
only means of securing permanent prosper
ity. The plausible theories of the free
traders are once more assiduously pressed
"I .( .n f ,tr 2• 11 i-•
manufacturers, with a view to the destruc
tion of our industrial enterprises, so as to
open :i market to the cheap productions of
foreign pauper labor. The disastrous re
sults of au unsteady, fluctuating policy in
regard to import duties has been so often
demonstrated in its effect upon our manu
facturing indu-try that there ought to be
but little difficulty in showing to our legis
la tors the imperative necessity for the adop
tion of a well defined and permanent pro
tective policy. Even moderate duties if
preserved through a series of years, would
enable our manufacturers of every kind to
invest their capital in extensive enterprises
from which they now keep scrupulously
aloof, because they have no guarantee of
any consistent policy of protection, and are
liable after heavy expenditure to see all
their plans frustrated and their prospects
blighted by a sudden throwing open of our
markets to the competition of the pauper
labor of Europe, with which ail well inform
ed men know onr manufacturers cannot
i compete, unless the wages of our own peo
ple are reduced to a level with that of Ku
ropoan paupers. To such measures no sane
American will commit himself unless he
wishes our country io be made a nation of
paupers. .James Buchanan announced him
self in favor of this policy in his famous TEN
CENT'S A DAY speech, because he knew it
mut be the inevitable result of the free
trade policy which he advocated and which
the Democrat ie party advocate yet. That
speech made him justly odious to every in
teliigent American laborer, yet it was on
honest statement of what must be the result
of the adoption of the Democratic free-trade
idea. Let Congress give us the assurance
of a consistent protective policy, and a tariff
high enough to afford fair wages to laborers
and a reasonable profit to capitalists, and it
wi! Jo more than any other possible legis
lation to promote the general and continued
prosperity of the whole country, assure the
payment of our national debt, and secure a
speedy return to speeie payments.
i CONSOLIDATION OF IUItHOAU.S.
'I he St'ite Guard fives utterance to
opinions, often expressed by ourselves on
the fan ral subject of railroad monopolies,
in the fallowing terms:
"We have frequently alluded to the extra
ord.nary efforts of New I ork railroad com
panies to effect a consolidation of their
wesilth to secure a strong and irresistible
; monopoly for controlling the trade of the
West. The effort is to get possession of
the leading lines which now make connec
tion with the great roads running to the
Pacific coast, and by this means hold and
direct the on nine ice of that section for the
; l>enelit of Eastern capital and cities. The
i Baltimore and Ohio railroad is uniting with
these New York companies, making com
mon cause against all rivals. The alliance
is powerful, and like all such combinations
wdl. if successful, become intolerant and
tyrannical. In the meantime, the Pennsyl
vania Oiilral railroad, (which -ecms to be
the present great object in the way of the
other roads named, to establishing a vast
m:i. tnl monopoly,) is quietly pursuing its
prosperous progress, and effecting connec
lions which secure it a reach of communi
cation with almost the entire productive
portions of the West. It is now under
stood that the Pennsylvania Ceutral ha- ab
sorbed the Fort Wayne railroad, with all its
connecting links, whereby it not only be
comes master of the situation in the West,
but actually places itself in a position from
which it will eventually be able to control
with commanding influence the railroad in
i -erests of the country. By this move there
i- fcleo tteourcd for I'eunsytvania the con
necting link in the Grand Trunk railroad
from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and their
operations are vast beyond ordinary com
prehension, and while we rejoice in the
-ue:- ss which is sure to add to the prosper
ity of our State, we cannot repress a
foreboding that eventually such combin
ations of capital and incorporate privilege
aju.-t eventually interfere with private
rights and individual interests, and that the
result of building up colJossal powers like
those in question will be to belittle if not
ignore the majesty and force of the govern
incut. 11 would be faf safer and surer for
the national existence and peace of States,
if the railroad interests of the country were
divided among an unrestricted number of
corporations instead of owned by a limited
few, and those combined in a consolidated
monopoly. Like the ownership of the
land : That country is most prosperous
where the soil is as equally as possible
divided among the mas-and titled iu small
taruis. But where a landed aristocracy ex
i.-ts, there stoth and starvation prevail.
I hose facte have a fearful application to our
railroad interests. As long as those interests
are divided among corporations between
which there is a healthy competition, the
public will be benefited by the rivalry, aud
.and over which the roads pass improved
by the desire to build up local trade. But
gn at con dilations, while they may benefit
some portions of the country, will so impair
th. interests and welfare of others as to rob
the grand result in it- influence on the na
tion at large, of any real value. But let us
not fori,ode evil. IVe occupy a great coun
tiy whiea it will be bard for even a gigantic
railroad monopoly to spoil. < >ur resources
are incxhau-tible. our means of acquiring
wealth so varied, that there is room for en
terprise of all kinds. The intelligence of
tho American people will and must be their
guard against anything like an attempt to
make them subservient to any power of
evil.' 1
WE are already annexing Canada to the
I nited States in a quiet way. Since the ex
piration of the Reciprocity Treaty and the
organization of the new dominion, business
has grown dull, times hard and the people
dissatisfied. Many, though anxious for an
nexation, are impatient of the slow progress
making in that direction and pack their
goods and annex themselves by crossing
the border and becoming citizens of the
I nited States. A steady stream of Cana
dian immigration has existed for some time
and is daily increasing. No better argu
ment could be wished for the repeal of the
so called reciprocity treaty. While it lasted,
our own-people went to Canada because it
gave Canadians greater advantages and bet
ter business facilities than our own citizens.
For a aimiiar reason since its expiration our
people have ceased to go to Canada and the
Canadians are coming to us because they
can now do better here. This isonly anoth
er instance of the wisdom of protecting our
own industrial and business interests.
THE Abolition of the Spring Elections is
made the subject of grievous complaint by
some of our copperhead cotemporaries. It
is a sad lact for them that the Legislature
has really abolished one of those glorious
opportunities for a iprer, election day. and
hereafter election will oome like Christmas
but once a year, except at the Presidential
election, when Democracy will have two
days in the year for their tpirilual enjoy
ment. We beartiiy sympathize with them
in their bereavement. It will be a loßg
t'-"-: drinks.
TIIE EAST DODGE.
The Free Traders of New York City have
been making a fierce attack on our tariff
because of the tax on coal. They ask for a
repeal of the duty on coal so that they may
be relieved from the tvrannv of the Penn
sylvania coal miners, who charge them five
dollars per ton. and buy their coal of the
Nova Scotians, cheap. This was consider
ed a strong point in their case, on which
they built bright hopes of a Free-trade suc
cess. But alas for their brilliant hopes.
The bubble was suddenly pricked and igno
miniously bursted by the discovery, that
while the Pennsylvania miners only pro
posed to charge five dollars and a quarter
for coal, it actually co-t seven dollars and a
quarter to get Nova Scotia coal to New
York, even if it came free of duty, showing
that the dollar and a quarter duty on a ton
of Nova Scotia coal had nothing whatever
to do with keeping it ont of the New York
market, as it cost one half mere than Penn
sylvania coal, even if it came free of duty.
They often do the same kind of blundering
in other commodities. Still a few simple
souls are deceived by their false professions.
An exposure like this, of the falseness of
their logic as well as their wilful mis-state
ment of facts, ought to open the eyes of
some of their dupes.
SECRETARY BOOTWELL has given notice
that his sales of gold will be two millions a
week hereafter until further notice. This
practical common sense way of doing things
in the Treasury Department has completely
dumbfounded the gold gamblers. The cf
feet it has already had in appreciating our
bonds in the market is the best demonstra
tion of the benefits of the plan. Though
gold ran up rapidly for a few days, on re
eeipt of the news of the belligerent reception
of Senator Sumner's speech in England,
and the natural tendency, under the former
way of managing the Treasury Department,
would have been for government bonds to
decline, under the stimulating and health
ful treatment of Secretary Boutwell they
stubbornly refused to fall but rose instead.
Such a phenomenon in finance was never
known under McCulloch's management of
the Treasury and took the wall street gam
ble) shy surprise. Uuder the firmness of
the bond market, gold has gone down as rap
idly as it rose and bids fair to soon roach its
old standard from wliteh, under the sensible
conduct of our finances by Secretary Bout
well, we may expect it steadily to decline un
til we reach specie payment:-.
AND STILL THEY COME.— Every now aud
then we continue to get a bundle of Legis
lative records, though the Legislature ad
journed more than a mouth ago. What is
the use of this worthless lumber? Did we
say worthless? It is worse, not only worth
less but expensive. FIFTEEN DOLLARS per
page the State pays for it beside postage for
sending it broadcast over the country. We
never see it until all the legi.-lation recorded
in it i.- finally disposed of so that the public
has no benefit through it in the way of infor
mation in time to stop obnoxious legisla
tion. We only leai n our doom when the
work is done. Why not pledge every can
didate for Senate or House to have the Rec
ord completely abolished ?

NKW YORK, May 23.
News lias been received direct from Ces
penes by Cubans in this city, confirming
fully the defeat of the Spanish forces in at
tempting to open the r tilroad from Nuevitas
to Puerto Principe. The date and channel
receipt is kept private for prudential
reasons. Jhe loss of the Spaniards is set
down at about 1,000 killed and wounded.
The Cuban force is stat; d to have been 3,-
;VX) men under Queseda intrenched on the
mad and about the same as the Spanish,
fhe fight was by far the severest which has
taken place during the war.
The battle was decided by the arrival of
tbe Marquis of Santa Luca, witb 1,000 men,
a large number of whom were mounted, but
who, though very poorly armed, made a
desperate and successful charge on the flank
of the Spaniards. (f' the6oo colored troops
a little over 100 shot their officers and v.eht
over tn the Cubans. The remainder, neith
er with the In-urgent* nor the Spaniards,
are supposed to have taken to the woods.
Aii rite baggage, provisions and ammuni
tion of the Spaniards were carried in ten
car* and dragged on the rails by oxen, to
gether with the dead, and the chief part of
the wounded were abandoned to the Cubans,
who, after the battle, advanced six miles to
San Miguel, where they destroyed the bar
racks and quarters in sight of the retreat
ing Spaniards. Ihe loss of the Cubans is
given at several hundred, but Cubans here
ridicule the idea of its being equal to that of
the enemy who attacked intrenchmeuts he
did not carry. A vessel since returned to

safely landed arms and ammunition. The

Order for an Election in July.
RICHMOND, May 23.—General Canby has
issued an order providing for an election to
be held on the sixth of July, in accordance
with the President's proclamation. The
order provides for a revision and enlarge
ment of the list of registered voters in the
State. It allows those entitled to vote, and
those who have not previously done so, in
cluding those who have not arrived at age
at the previous registration, and grants ten
days, exclusive of ISanday, for registration,
commencing the fourteenth day of June.
Iwo white aod two colored challengers are
allowed at each poll. Whites and blacks
have been entered on separate lists. The
Superintendents of Registration are also
charged with the conduct of elections in
their district*. The general provisions of
all the election orders heretofore issued un
der the laws of Congress, are adhered to in
this order, which covers sixteen printed
pages.
Iron Clad* Ordered to he Put in Con

NEW ORLEANS, May 21.—Order* were
yesterday received at the navy yard in this
city, directing that all the iron-clads be put
in condition for immediate active service.
The order further directed that the requisite
number of men for that purpose be kept
employed night and day. Great excitement
regarding the_order, and speculation as to
their destination has been occasioned in con

POLITICAL, ITEMS.
THE Republicans of Somerset county will
vote for candidates for the Legislature and
for county offices on June 12th.
THE Democracy of Westmoreland county
will make their nominations by the Craw
ford county system ott Saturday, June 12.
The Democracy of liiair co'suty seem to
be strongly in favor of Hon. Tiiaddeus Ranks
for the legislative nomination by that party.
IT is reported that F. W. Ames, member
of the last Legislature from Crawford coun
ty, has withdrawn from the canvass, and will
uot be a candidate for re nominution.
THE Republicans of Bradford county have
elected P. D. Morrow, Esq., Senatorial
Delegate, and G. D. Long and N. C. Lis
bre, Representative delegates to the State
Couvention. They are uninstrueted.
At a meeting of the Republicans of Lu
zerne county, on Monday, at Wilkesbarre,
the delegates to the Republican State con
vention were instructed to vote for Hon.
Wiuthrop W. Ketcham lor Governor.
THE Lycoming county Republican Con
vention has elected delegates to the Repub
lican Convention to be held in Philadelphia
on the 23rd proximo, instructed for the re
nomination of Governor John W. Geary.
LAWRENCE COUNTY has chosen delegates to
the State Convention, and instructed them
for Governor Geary. The Crawford county
system, was submitted to the people and re
jected by a vote ot 1,015 to 010.
THE Union county Republican Conven
tion has elected Hon. George F. Miller,
Senatorial, and Captain Thomas Church,
Representative, delegates to the State Con
vention, instructed for Governor Geary. Mr.
Miller was empowered to select his own con
ferees.
At the Northampton County Republican
Convention, Samuel Straub and YV. S. Kirk
patric-k were elected Representative dele
gates to the State Convention, and three
conferees were chosen to elect a Senatorial
delegate. The delegates are instructed to
support General Sellridgc for Governor.
THE Philadelphia Press says that Accord
ing to the World, which, we presume, is re
liable Democratic authority, the name of
Hon. Isaac E. Hiester, of Lancaster, will be
presented to the corning Pennsylvania Demo
cratic State Convention as a candidate for
Governor. Mr. Hiester represented his dis
trict in Congress from 1853 to 1855, as u
Whig. Since that time he bus avoided pub
lic life and devoted hiuiselt tc tlie building up
of a lucrative law practice. He is the son of
Uou. William llicster, long a prominent
Congressman from Pennsylvania, an active
politician, who, in old limes, achieved a
State reputation as leader o( the anti Masonic
party. Hon. I. E. Hiester is a gentleman in
the prime of life, enjoying a substantial
fortune, of high intellectual powers, and
would doubtless make a strong candidate.
GF.M RAI. NEWS ITERS.
THE white voters in the district of Columbia
outnumber the colored by about 500.
THE Secretary of the Treasury has directed
his assistant* at New York to si 11, until other
wi-e directed, gold to the amount of $2,000,-
000 per week, instead of $1,000,000 as
heretofore. This is done on account of the
accumulation of gold ir. the Treasury.
THE New York I.cgi-luture has passed a
law similar to the one passed in this State, in
relation to parties interested being competent
to give testimony. The New York statute is,
however, rather more sweeping in its pro
visions, extending the privilege to defendants
in criminal cases.
OUR new Minister to England Mr. Motley,
has been instructed, it is alleged, to stand as
near as possible to the positions taken by Mr.
Sumner, in lib, speech which has created such
a sensation in that country. It this be a fact
lively times in diplomacy may be expected,
though we do not believe there is any danger
of anything more serious resulting.

THE KICKAPOO INDIANS—EFFORTS FOR THE
PROTECTION OF TEXANS.
WASHINGTON, May 23.—The Kiekapoo,
Indians, who now live near Painted Bock,
are crossing tlie rotate of Chihuahua, Mexico,
and devastating the best pastoral regions
of Western Texas, they went to that coun
try from their Reservation near Fort Scott,
Kansas, in 1861, to avoid participation in
the war of the rebellion. While on the way
they were met near the line of the Indian
Territory by a force of confederates under
Jack Bayton, a cruel frontier fighter, who,
at one time recommended extermination as
the true way of treating Indians. In this
attack some of the principal men of the
tribe, together with the women and children,
were killed.
The majority of them finally reached
Mexico, where they swore vengence against
all Tesans, and ever since have been making
raids into Texas, killing many whites and
stealing horses. Major Moore, of San An
touia, cow in Washington, has just com
pleted an extensive trip of several thousand
miles through the regions infested by these
savages, and ascertained they are anxious to
return to their people on the Reservation in
Kansas, or rather the Dew Reservation in
the Indian territory set aside for them by a
recut act of Congress.
They, however, will not trust themselves
in Texas without an escort of troop 9. Maj.
Moore, by appointment had a conference
with Commi? ioner Parker yesterday, dar
ing which ho laid the matter fully before
him, rcccom mending that an officer bo de
tached for the purpose of conferring with
the Indians una arranging for their return.
The Major showed that such a course would
relieve the Texan frontier from great evils,
and possibly avert an expensive campaign.
MR. MOTLEY \s INHTRUCTIONB.
The most that can IK* reliably ascertained
of the instructions to Minister Mot lay, i
that they arc more of a general than speci
fic character, and do not contemplate any
speedv action cn his part with regard to the
Alabama and other claims, in view of the
present sentiment in England upon the scb
jest.. If for no other reason, Mr. Motley
will inform Her Majesty's government of
the desire of our own to adjust aU pending
i]motions 011 aba-is that will strengthen
the Iti tjdly relations between the two coun
tries.

JEWS IS ENGLAND.— -It is said that
there is not a pauper among the Hebrews
of England. Each synagogue has a com
mittec churged with the duty of looking
after the poor. '1 he old ara pen-iened, and
hospitals are pro', ided for the younger por
tion of the helpless class. We Irelieve
that there is not a pauper among the
Friends in any country. Would that the
same could be said of all oth r r< ligiou
bedies.
HON. H. W. WILLIAMS, a Justice of the
Supreme Court, has, in his brief period of
service in that tribunal, won golden opiu
ions from the bar and the people ot the en
tire Commonwealth. It surprises no one,
therefore, to observe the cordial unanimity
with which it s'ens, on all sides, to be
agreed that he should receive the Republi
euti nomination for the same place, and a
popular election in October by a majority at
least as large a-that of which ha was cor
ruptly and illegally deprived in Is'oT.
BELLS IN CHINA. .Wording to Chi
nese writers, the great ball of Canton was
east five centuries ago- At first no person
was bold enough to strike it. Afterward,
however, one of the officials ordered it -to
be struck, whereupon upward of one thou
sand infants, male and female, died
throughout the city. On this account,
young children, both buys and girls, were
ma le to wear clothing with fringes, to
which small silvi r liolls were attached, a9
a charm to ward oil't he evil influence.

S CATHARTIC PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re
quired by everybody AS a cathartic, nor was
ever any before so universally ad* pted into use,
in every country and aiaong all classßfl, as this
miid but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious
reason is, that it i- a more reliable and far more
effectual remedy than any other. Those who have
used it, ka >\\ that it cured tbcov. those who have
not, know that it cure* tb-.ir neighbors and friends,
and nil know that what it docs once it does al
ways--that it never fails through any fault or
neglect of ite composition. We have thousands
upon thousands of certi: nates of their remarkable
can's of the following complaints, but such cures
lire known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them Adapted to all ages and con
ditions in all climates*, containing neither calomel
nor any delererious drug, t hey may be taken with
safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,
while being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use in ant* quantity.
They operate hy their powerful influence on the
infernal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action—remove the obstructions
of the stomach, bowels, liver, aud other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to
health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
uch derangements as are the first origin of dic
sase.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:
For Dy-prpsia or Indigestion, Listles*ness, Lan
guor and Loss of Appetite. they should be taken
moderate ly to etiuiuiate the stomach and restore
Its healthy tone and action.
For Liter Complaint and its various symptoms,
ISil'ouß Headache, JSick Headache, Jaundice or
Green Sickness, Hilxous (Julie aud Jiilious Fever*,
tliey should be judiciously taken for each < ase. to
correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc
tions which cauie it
For Dysentery or Diarrhtr, but one mild dose
is generally required.
For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation of
the Heart, l'ain in the Side, Pack aud Loins, they
should be continuously taken, as required, to
change the diseased action of the system. With
such chnge these complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and DrtrpsiceUSwelling* they should
be takeu in large and frequent dor es to produce
the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression* a larg dose should betaken
SLS it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill , take one or two Pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on
the digestive apparatus.
