THE KEC.ISTRV LAW.
Copperheadism stands in mortal terror of
any law interfering with ballot box stuffing
and illegal voting. They are in a par
oxysm of rage just now in regard to the
Registry Law passed last winter. Their ef
forts to have it set aside are of a most sig
nificant character. Thev know that in a fair
election they hive no hope of success and
therefore are earnestly at work trying to
pick a flaw io the new law and have it pro
nounced unconstitutional. To effect this
purpose thoy have got up a case to bring the
question before Judge Sharwood. Mow
Judge Hharswood, owing as he does kisown
election to fraud, deems himself iu duty
bound to see that the machinery that secur
ed him in his piesent position is kept in
good working order for the benefit, of his
irieud- This as a matter of course is only
common gratituJe on the part of the im
maculate Hharswood. lie helped to manu
facture copperhead voters last fall by whole
sale in the court of Nisi I'ritt where fraud
ulent naturalizations under his direction
were made out at the rate of a thousand a
Jay. I nder such circumstances the fe
alty of S bars wood could not be doubted.
The copperhead- are sure of their tool
and to Hharswood they have gone with a
made up case in order to have it decided
against the "Registry Law." The Judge
begins the business in a s'yle that shows
hiui to be perfectly familiar with what lis
friends expect of him. By agreement of the
counsel the case was not to be brought up
until a full bench, were present to consider
it. But fearing to ri-k the ease before a
full bench who would give it the attention
its importance demands, this immaculate
Judge hurries up the case in defiance of the
agreement.of counsel, before his own incor
ruptible sell' and boasts ot his determination
to hear the cause anil accept the responsi
bility. Such arc the men and such the
means ustd for perpetuating the stuffing of
ballot boxes and the manufacture of illegal
votes in Pennsylvania for copperhead pur
poses. How long will the people endure
such trampling upon tlitir most sacred
rights? It is no more than might be ex
pected that the uian who was elected by
fraud will lend himself and his official posi
tion and power to the perpetuation of the
facilities for committing frauds, but it is not
to be supposed that the people will long tol
erate such abuse of the Judicial ermine.
Judge Hharswood richly deserves to be im
peached and removed fn ID office for such
conduct as he has at lea-t twice been guilty
of in the brief period that he has held office.
Tuat anxious readers may understand
what the Established (the Episcopal 1 Church
means practically, and then be enabled to
take an intelligent and human interest in
the is.-ue now convulsing England, we CJB
dense a suggestive fact or two from a long
account of the bi -trigs for the next presen
tation to a rectory and vicarage in the coun
ty of Line-In, which was recently put up at
auction, ihe language of the auctioneer
and the amount bid are both instructive.
There are in this living two churches to
serve, a mile and a half apart. The income
of the rector is $3, .Vlt i; per year.
The auctioneer stated that the society was
good, and the hunting very fair. One
hundred pound- would pay for a curate to
do the visiting of the sick, burying the dead,
etc., and the rector would have a clear in
come of£6oo ($3,0001. The highest bid
der reached £4,800 ($24,000), which sunt
not being deemed sufficient, the living was
withdrawn un.-old. \\ as slavery any more
demoralizing, any more of a sin per sc. than
this open, unblushing, licensed simony.—

The recoup <.r a day in New York. —
Hie Tribune of the 14th inst., says : "Oar
chapter of crime in and about the city is
again paiufully full. No clue has been
fouud to the murder of Woodall. A noto
rious liquor-seller in Houston -t. who beat
.. man to death a few months ago) nearly
killed Joseph Hogan on Saturday. There
was a sbootiDg case in Pearl st. ; there was
an assault with a hatchet in Rose-st. : a
Sixth Ward fight in Eiizabeth-sf.; a stabbing
case in East Broadway ; another in Cathe
noe st.: more stabbing in the N'inth-ave. ; a
man found in the river at South Brooklyn
-probably murder Besides all these,
thci o were halt a-dozen smaller affairs of a
-imiiur nature; and an attack upon a negro
in Brooklyn yesterday resulted in a homi
cide. '
It is scarcely necessary to mention that
. ew I Oik city is in the full enjoyment of
all the blessings 0 f a corrupt copperhead
city government. Such are the beauties of
a pure Democratic government of the mod
ern type.
THE Republican victory in Washington
city turns out to be much more complete
' hau at first supposed. Wc carried every
A ard in the city and the aggregate majority
w almost 5000. This too is on a decreased
colored registry showing a gratifying in
crease in white Republican voters. Though
butotly opposing colored suffrage here the
ctnocratic leaders in Washington used
ivery means in their power to obtain color

few and to stir up at the game a *
J serious not. Democratic riots are a com
mon thing at elections and they commonly
,mt lu,lc hout them, but they have
made considerable ado over the one tbey
foment in Washington hoping to east
odium on the Republicans, but the disguise
IS too thin and nobody is deceived The
riot was their owo work.

THE two Johnsons, Reverdy and Andrew,
arc both on the rampage, the first in a gen
teel, the aecoud in an angry way. They
possess uncommon talking talent, and are
addicted to an inordinate use of it. They
have special and somewhat similar griev
■nee*, and (.re fond of ventilating them.
They have been largely rejected—Andrew
by the people, and Reverdy by the Senate.
Andrew has gone home, and llevcrdy has
come home, each to scold in his own style.

THE REDUCTION of the Public Debt goes
bravely on. Mr. Boutweil's exhibit for
June Ist shows over thirteen million three
hundred thousand dollars paid in the month
of May, besides two million one hundred
and ninety-seven thousand dollars interest
due before® March Ist, but which Andy
Johnson's Administration left as a legacy
for tbc republican party. The whole
amount sums up $1J,5>.1,975 paid in May
and over $114,000,000 for April and May or
at the rate of $1 J0, 000,000 per year. This
is done by Mr. Boutwell before he has had
time to thoroughly reorganize his depart
inent. He will no doubt be able to do bet
ter (till in future.
LAST year the Democratic Htate govern
ment of tax ridden Maryland expended over
xr.r hundred thousand dollars for luilitia
purposes. The taxes of this State are al
ready about three times as great as those
of Pennsylvania, and at this rate a farm
across the border will in a few years
hardly be worth taking as a present. Let
our Pennsylvania farmers—who through
a Republican administration hold their
farms exempt and free—reflect on the
meaning and consequences of having a
Democra'ic Governor and Legislature next
year.— PhiVa Press.
THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. —In fifty-nine
contested districts the Government pary
have chosen 30 candidates, and the Op
position 28, one district remaining doubtful.
The parties in the next Legislature of
France will -urn up as follows: For the
Government, 213: Independent, 42: Radical,
35. The outright opposition have gained,
as it stands, about fourteen votes. The
main body of the forces of the two latter
parties tnay be massed at need against the
E tn pire_.
A fiOOD IDEA. —The new constitution of
the state of New York disfranchises for a
time all voters who off- r or accept bribes in
shape or form for votes at any election.
Such a rule might be of decided advantage
to the purity of the ballot box in other parts
of the country. It would certainly work
well in Pennsylvania, especially if made to
embrace members of the legislature and
others occupying representative positions.
THE accident to the passenger train from
Washington to Baltimore on Wednesday
night, the 9th inst., on which President
Grar.t was a passenger, is supposed oil good
grounds to have been the result of design
on the part of unknown parties. The run
ning ov;racow, the alleged cause, never
before resulted in so much damage. The
railroad officials are also extremely reticent
on the subject.
CHUN affairs Ere every day growing
brighter for the insurgents. The Spanish
authorities now admit the successful land
ing of some 5000 filibusters with an abund
ant supply of amunition. They al-o report
that the rich planters have supplied the in
surgents with a sufficient amount of funds
to carry on the war for an indefinite length
of time.
THE returns of the French elections are
not altogether flattering to the Emperor.
The liberal vote, cast against the Govern
ment amounted to 3,248,385 and the vote
for the Government 4,053,56. It is un
derstood that Napoleon is not all pleased
with the result,
ENGLAND is still in a state of excitement
over the Irish Church Bill. Large meet
ings ate held in various parts of the coun
try. The Tinas says the Lords must defer
to the country or the government cannot be
carried on, yet the house of Lords resists
the disestablishment with all its strength.

WASHINGTON, Juno 10, 1860.
i .Startling rumors reached here this morn
j ing concerning a raiirou I accident, near An
napolis .Junction, on the road to Baltimore.
| to the train on which the President was a
passenger. The accident occurred about 20
minutes to 10 o'clock last night On in
quiry the facts- were ascertained to be as
follows: The locomotive ran against a cow,
and before the train passed the cow was
thrown down with her logs under the wheels
ol the baggage ear. The latter and the two
front passenger cars were thrown off the
. track. These cars were overturned and
i shattered, and the passengers thrown pro
miscuous'}'. Much excitement naturally
prevailed, and men-urea were immediately
i taken to extricate the passengers front (heir
; perilous situation. The cars, when thev left
i Washing;,.;;, were in the following order:
After the two first cars wa the chair car,
! the sleeping-car, and the President's ear]
In the la-t named were the President, his
wife, and two children, Mr. Cramer, the
brotherin-low of the President, and his wife,
and Secretary Boutwell. No one was in
jured in the ears in the rear of the two front
passenger ears, but on these ten or twelve
persons were cut and bruised, several
severely. So far as known, none were fa
tally injured. Four passengers who received
bruises returned to Washington. Several
of the others remained in the vicinity of the
accident, and others proceeded northward.
As soon as information of the disaster
reached Washington, relief was despatched
to the scene, and after a delay of five hours
other cars were substituted for those
damaged, and the train reached Baltimore
in time to connect with the early morning
Northern train from that city. The above
account is based on information received
here by the railroad authorities, but the
pas-engers who have returned to this city
represent the accident as far more appallin"
One of them says that at lea-t twenty per
sons were injured, One from Georgia had
his face battered completely out of shape,
and was picked up senseless, weltering in
gore. It is not probable he will recover
Not only were the first two passenger oßrs
completely destroyed, but the two im
mediately in the rear of them were damaged.
These cars were thrown viol utly together.
The passengers in the after cars were
startled by the screams of the wounded.
One man had his leg broken. Speeial cars
were despatched from Baltimore and Wash
ington to the relief of the sufferers. The
surgeons sewed np the wounds of a number
ot persons, and set the limbs requiring such
Services, besides rendering other necessary
professional offices. There is now no ob
struction to travel.
How NEW \OKK IS GOVERNED.— V
striking commentary on the way in which
t be snug little island of Manhattan is gov
erned, is shown in the expose of the internal
arrangements of the New York Tax Com
missioners office. According to the ac
count given, there are ten clerk*, drawing
collectively the sum of $23,500 from the
City 1 reasury, who do not eveu perform
any service, and who do not even reside in
New l ork, some living in New Jersey.
Ihey are simply political stipendiaries, sup
ported out of the public purse for either
real or imaginary service;- rendered to party.
The Scourge of l-lah.
March of the Destroying Army—Grass
hoppers on the Winy — A Track of Dcso
lata n Left Behind Them.
Countless myriads of grasshoppers have
lately made their appearaoee on the north
and eastern shore of Salt Lake, and are
marching or hopping toward the City of the
Destrf. The ground around Promontory
Point is literally black with the youne and
rapacious insects. They are now about three
fourths of an inch in length, black in color,
and more resembling a cricket than a grass
hopper. But as they increase in size their
color chatwcs to brown. About two weeks
since these pests made their first appearance
in that c'ion. Icing then about an eighth of
an inch in length, and having that appear
ance of sand crickets. They grow rapidly
and are very voracious, destroying everything
in their wav. For miles the track of the
railroad is black with these destroying in
sects, the ties aud rails being hidden from
view by the thousands peiehed thereon.
Salt Lake City has been cleared of vegetation
before by these pests, and in each ca*e the
countless ho.-ts have made their first ap
pearance to the north aod west of the city,
devastating their fields and gardens when
pas.-ing throuah on their way to the south
and westward. Two years since such a
scourge swept over the city, destroying
every green thing, oven to the growth of
wood and vino of the previous season.
Millions of the bisects perished in the lake,
for it seems nothing turns them when on
their destroying march. In a day the
beautiful gardens and orchards of the city
were left as bare of verdure as though a fire
had swept over them. From the account
given us, it appears that the city will again
be vi-ited by this scourge. We learn that
the scourge, which passed over Halt Lake
two years siuce, continued its march, and
the following season made an appearance in
the lower end of the Great Ba-in. where the
-cnes of the previous year were re-enacted.
This season the hordes have appeared in the
extreme southern Mormon settlements,
where they are destroying everything before
them. They "re now some five hundred
miles From Halt Lake, the localities over
which they passed having had one year's
respite from their ravages. It seems that
when these insects reach maturity they de
posit their eggs in the soil and die. The
following season the eggs are hatched by
the warmth of the spring, and a new army
follows on its march.
Coal Strikes.
The following resolutions have been passed
almost unanimously by the Miners' and La
borers' Association, of the anthracite coal
fields of this State:
Whereas, The object of our suspension
has. to a great extent, been accomplished—
to wit, the depletion of the overplus of coal
already io the market, together with the
preventing, if possible, the enormous over
supply that was going to the market, and
which was thereby not only keeping down
the price of labor, hut evidently would com
pel either local suspension or further reduc
tion of wages, and in consequence local
stiikes; and whereas, the public press ofth*
country in most instances, through which
public opinion is formed and expressed, has
denounced our association in its first power
ful movement, representing that we had. a
design to run ptices up to an exorbitant
height, Ac., _&c., and in some instances
even thieatening to appeal to Congress to
repeal the tariff on foreign coal; therefore
be it
liesolotd, That we do not, nor have not.
desired to run up the price of coal too high
in the market, but, on the contrary, would
prefer a steady and healthy market, wlrch
will afford to the operator and dealer fair
interest for their investment, and at the same
time receive for our share a fair day's wages
for a fair day's work : and further
lietolmt. That, taking into con-ideration
the great risk and danger a miner or labor
er lias to incur in pursuing his daily occu
pation, we claim that we should receive pay
comm. n-urate to said rik or danger, anil
not be stinted down to the lowest price giv
en to common laborers whose employment
are safe and free from all risk to life, limb,
and family.
Resolved, That on or after the 16th inst..
all districts oi branches which can agree
with their emplovers as to basis ami condi
tion.s of resumption do resume work.
Travel on the Pacific Railroad.
The San Francisco Bulletin says: "The
condition of -both sections of the Pacific
Railroad is rapidly improving; and for the
pa-t four weeks every day has lessened the
risk of accident. The treacherous tempo
rary bridges over the Weber have been re
placed by good truss work, the worst curves
have been straightened, the banks widened,
and where new-made ground had sunk, th"
track has been rai-ed. The companies have
much to do before they will be prepared for
winter storms and next spring's floods, bu>
f.jr summer and autumn traffic the road, by
the middle of June, wills be as good as the
average of railroads, and a large portion of
each section is already better. Latest re
ports speak of' improvements in the re-tau
rant accommodations, and excepting where
there are children or ladies in the party it is
not necessary for travellers to carry any
solid provisions with them. The Pullman
palace sleeping-cars are now running to and
from Promontory ' ea.-tward. This reduces
the number of nights to be spent in ordina
ry cars to two, aud that hardship need not
be borne another week, as one or more
sleeping-cars for the Central Railroad Com
pauy are expected at Sacramento ou the Bth
instant.
Texas Republican Convention.
GAI.VESTOM. June 11. —The Republican
State Convention met at Houston Monday
and adjourned till Tuesday, when J. G.
Tracy was chosen President. Resolutions
wee adopted approving the cour-e of Gen
eral Reynolds in bringing the Jefferson pris
oners to trial. K. J. Davis was nominated
by acclamation for Governor. J. W. Flan
igan was nominated for Lieutenant Gover
nor; Frank Carter for Comptroller of the
Treasury, and Mr. Kenchler, of Bear coun
ty, for Commissioner of the Land Office.
Mr. Batcheldcr made a speech condemning
the course of A. J. Hamilton, and repudia
ting the nominations, made by the gentle
men who met at the Hurdling's House. In
the platform the main principles of the Re
publican party are endorsed. The adoption
of the Constitution is recommended. A
resolution recon-idering the enfranchisement
of the whites was objected to by Mr. Butler,
but was finally adopted. On Wednesday
the Convention nominated Mr. Haney for
State Treasurer, but he declined, and Mr.
I'ricc, of Austin, Was nominated. A State
Central Committee was appointed, also a
Committee of One from each judicial dis
tiiet to collect funds to carry on the canvass,
i he Convention then adjourned xt'ne die.
THE NEW EMIGRATION.— The country is
in need of .skilled mechanics, and there is
every reason to believe tiiat we shall be fur
nished with all that is needed in the course
Of the summer. Th,-re was landed one day
last week at Castle Garden, New York, fiom
one vessel between fourteen and fifteen
hundred passengers, a large number of whom
are mechanics, who have been obliged to
leave their native country because the price
of labor had fallen so low that they could no
longer provide for their families. About
one half of them canto from Germany,
Sweeden and Norway, and the rest from t e
British Isles. Most of the Englishmen had
been employed in the various department*
of bouse building. They say that mason*
receive for their work about $1 50 per week
in the country, and $7 50 in the cities, in
go d ; carpenters about the same, and labor
ers from s3l to 15 per week in gold, while
the cost of living was about $3 a week, and
most miserable living at that, leaving scarce
ly anytlimg lor clothes. It is expected at
vast!© uarden that they will receive at
atOOOO more emigrants from the North of
Europe alone within the next year and a
half. Most of these are probably hound for
the Northwest,
.V HE JAPANESE IN CALIFORNIA.—BEFORE
the Chinese question in California is dis
posed ot the Japaoese make their appear
ance to add to the perplexity of the situa
tion. Jbe latter, it is represented, are less
disposed to endure the degradation forced
upon them by the whites than the Chinese
and threaten to be by far the more trouble
some element. The Japanese colonists who
reemitly landed in ban Franeiseo have set
tled dowu in El Dorado county, and express
themselves highly pleased with tL-ir new
country for the purpose, contemplated, the
culture of tea and stIL.
CUSTOM HOUSE SEALS.— The Secretary
of the Treasury has ordered the nianutae
ture of one hundred aud fitly seals for the
use of the collectors, surveyors and naval
officers in custom house throughout the
United States, accepting to the design fur
nished by Mr. j. B. McC*rtee, Superin
tendent of the Bureau of Engraving aud
Printing. The seals now used bear different
devices, and the Secretary desires to have
uniformity in the design. They will be
about and inch and a half in diameter. In
the center, under a ha'o ot stars, is aspread
eagle, on the breast of which is a shield en
graved in gules. This forms the die, s>rv
ing as a matrix for the whole series. The
name ot each district is set on the upper
half of the seal, the name of the port on the
lower half, forming a circle within the cir
cumferences ot the seal, while the title of
the office is set in au arc, directly under the
name of the district—the whole forming a
neat and excotlent design.
LET THE WOMEN DECIDE.—There is a
proposition that the wnuu-n should them
selves decide by veto whether they desire
female suffrage. There ueed be no objec
tion to tbis. They can do it without any
body's permission. Let the leading advo
cates ol female suffrage, in any given State,
appoint a time when the women shall de
posit tfceir ballots, at given places, in that
State. It should be provided that, in any
State where the experiment may be tried,
a majority of all the women of proper age
-hall at least take trouble enough to ca.-t
their votes one way or other, before judg
ment is given. We venture to say that it,
in any State, it shall be (bund that a ma
jority of the female population demand the
ballot, they will be nearer to the getting of
if after declaring the fact, than they are
now.

ST. LOUIS. June 11. —A special dispatch
from Louisville to the Democrat say the

-trongly for Senter and universal suffrage.
The old editors of the Press and Times have

CHINESE AT NEW ORLEANS. — Chinese
laborer.-, fresh from the Pacific have already
made their appearance in New Orleans,
probably the f> e tinner.* of thousands of
their race, who wili flock to the sugar and
rice fields of the Pelican S'ato, byway of
the railroad arid the river. John Chinaman,
with his frugal and industrious habits, will
be a welcome assistant to the planters in
that section. One load of coolies was iui
ported thither from Havana two years

plantation in Lafourche, but the Custom
House officials nipped the enterprise, aud
stopped the further importation. But how
can it be stopped this time ?

NKW AND GOOD BOOKB.
Having far four yea:■ pa.-l labor*] to improve
ami enlarge the INQCIRER and to ro till It with
the iateat newt that our people would hare little
or no need of any other paper, we have found that
one of the chief difficulties in our way has been
thtt of getting a sufficient number of subscribers
to pay the expenses necessarily incurred in mak
ing a county paper what it ought to be. Tbougb
tbc IXQI'IRKK has a larger number of subscribers
than any other paper in the county, it still has
but little more thun half what it ought to have to
justify us in the outlay necessary to keep it op
to the itandardat which wc have steadily aimed.
The INQUIRER will continue to be the exponent
and advocate of a thorough-going Republicanism,
and of retrenchment, economy and reform in the
administration of the affairs ol county, state and
nation. It will also, as usual, contain a larger
amount of lato news and carefully selected gener
al reading matter than any other paper in this
Congressional District.
An important political campaign is just shoot
to begin, involving the election of a Governor,
Supreme Judge, State Senator, Member of the
Legislature, and a full county ticket. Tbc State
and District tickets are of the highest importance
as there will be a new apportionment made at the
next Session of the Legislature. With such an
important campaign before ua, it is highly desira
ble to pat the INQUIRER in the hands of every
Republican in the county. We therefore call up
on our friends to help us put it at once into the
hands of as many of our people as possible. As
a further inducement to exertion wc have conclu
ded to offer the following desirable
PREMIUMS:
For one new subscriber and $2.00 in advance, we
will give one number of Scott's novels. 20 cent
edition.
For two new subscribers and $4.00 in advance, we
will give one number of Scott's novels, 20 cent
ed., and one number of Dicken's, 25 cent ed.
For three new subscribers and stl 00 in advance,
two Noa. of Scott and one No. o 1 Dickens.
For four new subscribers and SB.OO in advance,
one copy of "One Hundred Selections," bound
in cloth, or four Nus. Dickens.
For five new subscribers and SIO.OO in advance,
five Xos. Dicken's works, or one copy of Ten
nyson's or Bora's poems, worth $1.25.
For six new subscribers and $12.00 in advance,
one cojiy of Diamond Dickens, Longfellow or
Wbitticr, worth $1.50.
For twenty new subscribers and $40.00 in advance,
a complete edition of Dicken's works (25 TOIS.
bound in paper.)
Fortwenty-five new subscribers and $50.00 in ad
vance, one large family bible, bound in best
morocco, full gilt.
For thirty new subscribers andsßo.oo in advance
one copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary,
illustrated edition with 3000 engravings, and
worth $12.00.
The above premiums are offered for new ad.
vance paying subscribers. Dicken's works are
made the standard for premiums, but we will sub
stitute any book ou the shelves of the Inqnirer
Book Stoic of the corresponding price whenever
desired. Parties unable to raise clubs large
enough to entitle them to a copy of the bible or
dictionary will be allowed the premium for the
number tbey do raise, aud can have either of the
above books by paying the difference.

SAR SAP ARIL LA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this excellent medicine eujoye,
\s derived from its cures, many of which are truly
marvelous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease,
where the system seemed saturated with corrup
tion, have been puritiojiand cured by it. Scrofu
lous affections and dfimrders, which were aggra
vated by the scrofulous contamination until tbey
were painfully afflicting, have been radically ca--
ed in such great numbers in almost every section
of the country, that the public scarcely need to be
informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our rare. Often, this and un
telt tenant of the organism undermines the con
stitution, and invites the attack of er r cebling or
fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its
presen?e. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of its
hideous forms, cither on the surface or among
the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be t>ud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tnuior3
formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by
eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some
part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a
bottle of this Sarsaparrilta is advisable, even
when no active symptoms of disease appear.
Persons afflicted with the following complaints
generally find immediate relief, and, at length,
cure, by the use "f this SAKS A PAH ILL A, St.
Anthony's Fire , Rose or Erysipe'rs, Tetter, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore
Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of
Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed
forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits,
Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various I*icero"S af
fections of the muscular and nervous systems.
Those painful diseases. Rheumatism and Gout,
when caused by accumulations of extraneous mat
ters in the blood, y ield quickly to it, as also Liver
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflamation
of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they
often do, from the ranking poisons in the blood.
This Sarsap&rilia is a great restorer for the
strength and vigor of the system. Those who
are Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless,
and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or
Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of
Weakness, will find immediate relief and convin
cing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
