PROTECTION-RAILROADS.
Ninety-five railway Presidents have peti
tioned Congress to protect the manufacture
of steel rails. They ask that a duty of two
cents per pound be laid upon all imported
steel rails. No more significant petition
cor more powerful argument has ever been
presented to Congress on the subject of pro
tec'ioit. Railway Presidents understand
their business. No better trained, sounder
reasoning, nor more careful set of men can
be found than the men who manage our
raiiroads. They know what is to be the ef
fect of the action they ask. Thev have
carefully counted the cost, and their peti
tion says as pluio as words can make it, that
it is cheaper and better for them to buy
American made steel rails than to impoit
them. Free traders will no doubt declare
the action of these railroad Presidents the
most extreme follv, and declare that they
could buy foreign rails much cheaper. But
railroad men are not to be deceived by shal
low sophistry. They know that even if
they do at fir.-t have to pay a few cents more
per pound on American rails, their
manufacture makes an amount of business
for the railroads that far more than pay.-
the increased cost of the rails. They also
know that foreign manufactures would ouly
sell tbeiß rails at reduced rates until they
could break down our manufacture-, and
that after that they would be at the me rev
of these *ll'\ would have to pay 1
much more than the two cents per pound
extra ibat they now propose as a duty or.
the imported rails. When men of the in j
teiligeocc, ability, and experience of these
ninety-five railroad Presidents deliberately
ask that a fixed, specific duty shall be laid
upon a commodity that they use constantly
to the amount o f millions of dollars per year
for the purpose of protecting the home
manufacture of that commodity, such peti
tion not only demands and will receive a
respectful hearing, but carries with it a
weight of argument that seldom accompa
nies buncombe petitions. These men know
that the receipts and profits of their roads
depend upon the prosperity of the country;
they also know that that pros[>crity is best
promoted and preserved by doing our own
manufacturing, diversifying our industry
and giving our farmers good and permanent
home markets, and our day-laborers an
abundance of remunerative employment,
flow this is to be done th t> have said in
their petition. To show their faith in what
they profess they ask the tax to be laid
upon the commodity of which they are the
only purchasers. If free-traders and their
silly theories are to be believed, we have
here the astonishing spectacle of ninety five
men equal in ability, experience, intelligence
and sound judgment to any equal number
of men that can be found in the world, en
gaged in a single business, deliberately
askirg the government to lay upon them
and their business an onerous and burthen
some tax. Such absurdities do free traders
preach and expect sane men to believe.
Men of intelligence and experience reason
better and cannot be duped by such shallow
sophistry. These railroad men arc wide
awake to their own pecuniary interests and
their action is taken after careful delibera-
tion and large experience They represent j
the one interest that more than any other |
has built up the prosperity and caused the i
rapid progress of our nation. They Know '
that their own prosperity can ouly exist I
with the prosperity of the country. They j
believe that protection to American labor is
the only method of securing permanent
prosperity and they attest their faith by
asking that protection be given to the very 1
article they arc obliged to buy. Such argu
inenis supported in such-tyle must settle 1
the question with all who. will listen to
reason.
THE REDUCTION or OI K N
TIONAL TAXES.
The heaviest peeuniaiy huid n Isi<l upon
us as a nation by the war was the internal
revenue taxes. A -'urn necessity required
them and they w< re laid and borne as such,
without murmuring. They bring no good
result in their train but burden and retard
business and discourage enterprise. Their
tendency is evil and only evil.
They arc expensive to collect, easily evaded
and tend to corrupt the morals of the peo
pic who perjure themselves or bribe the
public officers in order to escape taxation.
Revenues from duties on foreign imports
are easily collected and protect and encour
age home manufactures, labor and enter
prise and in that way are oft-times of im
mense benefit to a young and growing na
tion; Internal taxes have no good feature
whatever to recommend them. Therefore
it is the part of intelligent statesmanship to
dispense with them as soon as possible.
The emergency that m*de them necessary
has passed. The war is ended and our
financial standing in the money markets ut
the world is assured. Our revenue exceeds
our current expenditures many millions of
dollars. The refunding of our debt will
further lighten our burthen of annual ex
penses some twenty millions. Our finan
ces arc in a most flourishing condition and
the time is propitious for the reduction or
tot.il abolition of every internal tax on the
industry and productiveness of the country.
fbis is of the highest importance at the
present time in respect to our manufactures
and they should be everywhere relieved
from internal taxes. It will fi i ve an iui
mense impetus to enterprise; it will revive
languishing business and greatly promote
the interests of the whole country. While
foreign mercenaries, through their hired
lackeys here, are clamoring for a reduction
of duties on imports let our Congressmen
act the part of wise and prndent statesmen
and retain for revenue and protection the
tariff on all foreign manufactures, while
they relieve every bourn enterprise from
internal taxes. \\ e hope to see the internal
revenue taxes on every thing but iutoxica
ttng asid tobacco entirely removed
before the present session of Congress ad
journs. Such a course will g IVO a new im
petus to many branches of industry now
languishing. The iron, cotton, and woolen
manufactures in the South and West espe-
the fostering tare of the govern
ment, now in their infancy. A few vears
of judicious protection will firmly establish
them and show to the people of those see
Uons that the true and only source of
permanent prosperity for ihcm, is to do
t ueir own manufacturing and create a mar
ket for their agricultural products at their
own doors, instead of giving one half to pay
tor carrying the other half to market as
they now do. Let us have all internal taxi*
removed; the income tax with the rest if
possible. The people demand it The
highest interests of tLe nation demand it
ul Congress mmt not. dare mot ignore the
CUMULATIVE VOTING.—THE first" trij OF
cumulative voting in this State, took place
at Bloomsburg, Columbia County, on the
1-th inst. It wiil be remembered that
Senator Bockalew introduced a bill in the
Senate last winter, proposing to adopt the
cumulative system of voting for the election
of certain officers undar our general election
law. We believe the bill failed, but
Buckalew had a local bill passed for his owd
borough of Bloomsburg as follows:
"When six persons are to be chosen,
each voter may give one vote to each of six
persons, one vote and a half to each of four,
two votes to each of three, three votes to
each of two, or six votes to ODe."
Under this law the election last week was
held. The object of the system is to secure
a representation of minorities. How it
works is shown in the result of this election.
In Bloomsburg, the Democracy have usual
ly carried the elections by a majority of 15
or 29, and though the parties were thus
evenly balanced, the ißepublicans had no
representation whatever. Under this new
plan the Republicans elected a burgess and
two cnuncilnicn, while the Democrats elect
el four of the couocilmen. It will be seen
that this result gives each party a represen
tation in the borough offices in 8s near a
proportion as possible to their respective
numbers. This first experiment has ac
complished its purpose most admirably. It
remains to be seeu whether future experi
ence will verify this first result. We hope
o see the system still farther tested and if
'bund to work satisfactorily, we hope to see
it become the law of the State. Wc have
long favored the system as the one giving
most premise of putting an end to party
lyrrannv and corruption, as well as enabling
us to get a better cla-s of men into office.
Who will try next'!
WK are hereafter to be freed from one
-crious nuisance to the whole country. The
school book publishers of the whole country
have agreed to cease sending out agents to
introduce books at cost and other mean de
vice- long resorted to by rival publishers,
This kind of competition bad become the
bane of the schools and books were changed
as often as teachers, while every head of a
family drew bis purse strings tighter when
he heard tell of a book agent in his neigh
borhood. The publishers themselves, if not
admonished by the inherent meanness of the
system, have found it unprofitable and
have mutually agreed that after July they
will send out no agcnts. for the purpose of
introducing books. This must prove most
acceptable news to all who have school book
to buy, as well as to teachers and all who
have the true interests of education at heart.
The oon-tant changing of books tbat has so
seriously embarrassed school operations and
prevented educational progress now bids
fair to be abolished, we hope forever.
CONSTITUTONAI. reform in Illinois moves
slowly but surely. The Convention has
been in session four months and has adop
ted seven articles. These however are ol
the first importance. Two them are of pre
cisely the same character as those advocated
in our own state. One increases the nam
ber of Legislators and Senators to about
double the present number. The other
abolishes legislation in regard to corpora
tions railways &c., When shall we have
these necessary reforms in the organic laws
of our own state? There is no place that
they are worse needed. Can we not elect
our next legislature pledged to constitu
tional reform? Without this the character
of the Pennsylvania legislature can never be
redeemed. Cut off special legislation and
Harrisburg will cease to be the winter re
sort of political vagabonds and pilferers of
the public funds,
AN EXTRAORDINARY conflagration oc
curred in the town of Medina, Ohio on the
loth inst. A destructive fire broke out in
tie morning and the entire business portion
of the town was destroyed before the ravages
of the devouring element could be stayed.
Medina was a town of about 3000 inhabi
tants and strange to say had no fire engines
nt any kind and ail efforts to put out the
tire with buckets proved unavailing.
As we predicted last week, the story of
ihe flight of General Jordan and the col
lapse of the Cuban rebellion turns out to
have been a Spanish canard. The fact is
•lonian uot only has not fled but harecently
beaten the Spanish forcesio several encoun
ters and the rebellion is as vigorous as ever.
The Cuban patriots still have a prospect of
being finally victorious.
TIIB INCOME TAX seems now quite sure
jlO stop with 1869. The tax ceased January
I. 1870 by limitation of law and there is lit
tie of any probability that it will be renewed.
The people will hail this news with joy for
it was one of the most unpopular taxes,
though not the most burtb.-nsoiue.

Another Crystal Palace—A Mammoth
Couccrn on Nine Acres.
A project is on foot in New York to ob
tain a charter for what promises to be a
scheme of more than ordinary magnitude,
and several of the wealthiest men in that
city are mnvt is in the enterprise. A capital
of $i ,0i >O,OOO has been raised for the pur
pose of" con tructing a spacious series of
buildings in a central part of the city, either
on Tompkins or V ashington square; and
the projectors are earnest in the object to
have the city possess one of the finest buil
dings for the approaching international ex
bibttion evt r erected in that metropolis. It
is to cuntaiu one of the largest and most
commodious picture galleries in the world,
and its construction will conform, for this
purpose, somewhat to that of the Louvre
in Paris. Iho projectors among whom is
Mr. A T. Stewart, have not yet goDe into
the minute of detail in plan-'; but from ideas
advanced at a , "cent meeting of those in
terested it is understood that the building
will run fciootid four sides of a square, lea
ving the interior tor an ornamental garden
of about four acres, to be laid out with foun
tains- statuary, arbors, Ac , The buildings,
to be constructed of iron, with Mansard
roof, are to be designed after the Louvre,
and, in order to admit as much light as pos
sible, a great deal of glass will be used, es
peciallj in the picture galleries, to which
branch of the tine arts much space will he
devoted. Should much objection be made
to giving up one of the city parks, the
palace will be ereetsd on Long Island,
where some magnificent sites may be ob
tained. The object of the institution will
be to to educate the masses up to a higher
standard in the arts and in mechanics. The
galleries of'manufactures, arts, and sciences,
which will occupy the ground floors and the
tbivu and fourth stories, are to contain every
product of the loom and work-shop. In
fact, this Industrial Exhibition building will
he a composite affair, pertaking of the
Louvre, Kensington Museum, and Syden
ham Crystal Palace.

CiNCINfiATI. April IS.—A gentleman
who has just arrived from the plains states
that there are prospects of a stormy cam
paign with the Indians, as soon as the grass
becomes high cnoug to feed the ponies. The
most serious apprehensions arc felt for the
safety of the Pacific Railroad.
The settlers arc everywhere on the alert
to guard against surprise, but the protcc
tion of the road through so vast an extent of
country as will be wandered over by the
various tribes is deemed impracti-iable. The
superstiiious dread of the rails, which has
deterred depredations heretofore to a great
extent, does a<,<t now exist among the In
dians
CoHrmation of the Death of Lopez
LISBON, April 16th.— The REGULAR mail

MR. BEECHER iti introducing .Senator
Ilevels to an audience at the Brooklyn Aeu
demy of Music said that at last we saw a
complete and fruit hearing tree of liberty in
this land, but he did not say that like cher

might judge of the richness and flavor of
the fruit by the de.ph of the color.
TUE Pottsville Miners .hmrmd says that
a few days sine", at the Colorado Colliery,
the workmen struck an old gnr.gway of
colliery worked many years aco by Stephen
Girard, in which was found a three foot
gang railway track upon which stood a coal
wagon capable ofcarrying three tore of coat.
Although this gangway was cut many years
ago, in the early history of this region, the
prop timbers, the ties and wagon were in a
perfect state of preservation, and from all ap
pearances will last a century yet. The w .ir
on will be taken out and preserved a- a relic
of our early mining history.
A I'i.EASANT story has lately circulated
about Count Bismark. A country cler
gyman, an old fellow collegian of the Count's
was anxious to get his son into the marine\
and at length summoned up courage to ad
dress his quondam comrade, entertaining
however, hut faint hopes of the great Min
ister remembering him. Not being much
in the habit of writing to grandees, the good
man could not for some time deteiuiiae how
to begin, but st length commenced lib letter
'"Your Highness." He soon received ihc
following: "1 ou old blockhead, you! do you
think 1 have forgotten the happy time when
wc studied and drank together in Gotten
berg, and when we were so often waiting on
each other? And now, hw can you address
DIP in such a foolish way? Prey never again
call me Highness. Let us continue on the
same terms as of old. As to your boy, send
him to me. I'll take care of him."
COPPER IN TEXAS.— Cotnuiissioißr M il
son, of the Land Office, reports that quite
an important discovery has been made :n
Texas of a rich vein of copper. A man who
had read an advertisement of the Land
Office, desiring mineral specimens fioni li
parts of the country, picked up a curious
looking lump in one of his fields, and sent
it to that bureau. On examination it pro
ved to be native copper. The Government,
in consequence, is now aiout to send Pro
fessor Roessler, geologist of the Min ng Bu
reau, tc Texas to explore and report on the
region where the discovery was made. It is
thought that this discovery may have some
influence in changing the course ol'the rail
road which General Fremont seeks to have
incorporated —belter known as the South
ern Transcontinental Railway.
POISONOUS WATER PIPES. —The warning
addressed to householders by the New York
Board of Health, in reference to the Croton
water, ought not to escape attention. There
ean he no doubt that the use of lead pipes
in houses gives riso to much sicknee*. for
which people are often at a los- to account.
The proper plnu is to allow the water "to
run off for a few minutes before taking it
for drinking or cooking purposr s." This is
a very simple precaution, and it ought to le
dinned in'o the cars of servants until they
take it. "The habit,'' says Prof. Chandler
"of tilliog the tea kettle from the boiler, or
of u.-ing water freni the toiler for any pur
pose except washing is very dangerous.
Remember these two hints. Due attention
to them may he the means of averting sick
ness from children, and from all persons of
delicate constitution.
NEW THEORY OF ELECTRICITY. —A n w
general theory of the production of electric
ity was submitted by M. Delatirier to tbe
members of the French Academy at a recent
meeting. He asserts that it is heat which
polarizing bodies, is the general source of
static and dynamic electricity; that, under
the influence of heat, active bodies, which
are hail conductors of electricity, produce
static electricity; while active bodies, which
arc good conductors of electricity, produce
dynamic electricity; that frictcon, pressure,
and chemical action poduee heat, and that
it is this heat alone which is always the cau-e
of electricity. This new theory joins many
phenomena together which tlic multiplicity
of theories has hitherto kept far apart —
chemical, t her mo ele-trici, and physiologic
currents; static electricity produced by Irie
tion, pressure, cleavage, capillarity, clectrc
fish, storms, etc.
IMMIGRATION*. —CuipIeto returns of the
number of immigrants arriving iu all the
ports of the United States during the three
months ending December 31st, 1809, have
been received at Washington, and the Bu
reau of S'atistics publishes the following
statistics: Number ol immigrants, 76.937, of
whom 43,810 were males and 33,128 fen ilea.
—The occupations were as follows; Immi
grants pursuing professional callings 787, of
whom 326 were males, and 261 females; im
migrants pursuing mechanical trades, 2,623,
all males; trades, not mechanical, 1,713
males and 109 females—total, 1.822; mis
cellaneous occupations, 25,073 males and
3,173 females—total, 28,850; occupattions
not stated, 879 males and 2. .342 females—to
tal 3.424; immigrants without occupations,
12.394 males and 27,038 females— total, 38,-
432. From these it appears that 25,3 per
cent of the male and 81.6 per cent of the fe
male immigrants have no occupation. Of
the total number oi per cent bave no occu
pation.
IRON IN TEXAS. —if Pennsylvania derives
the greatest benefit from the tariff on pig
iron, as a certain class of grumblers assert, it
must l>e because the people of other States
da not improve their opportunities. It
would appear, from the following paragraph
taken from a Southern exchange, that Texas
at least, might become a very respectable
competitor iu tbe iron making business:
"There is iron enough in Anderson county
to make tics for a railroad that would reach
around the world and back again. And
more, too, there is pine enough in tbe coun
ty to make the coal to run the furnaces for
an indefinite number of years, and when
that is exhausted, there is an untold amount
of stone coal within our county borders to
run them the balance of the time." The
truth is, that Missouri, Kentucky. Indian,
and several other States, possess advantages
almost equal to Pennsylvania for the manu
facture of iron, and if the protective system
can only he maintained, iron furnaces tnd
other industries, which are always stimulated
thereby, will spring up and multiply in ma
ny parts of the oonutry.

Q HOVER & BAKERS
EWIN G MA C 111 NE S .
The following arc selected from thousands
of testimonials of similar character, as ex
pressing tbe reasons for the preference for
the Guoveit & UAKKU Machines over all
others.
* * "1 like the Grover A Baker Machine,
in the first plane, because, if 1 had any other
I should still want a Grover & Baker; and,
having a Grover A Baker, it answera tbe put
pose of all the rest. It does a greater variety
of work and it is easier to learn than any oth
er."— Mrs. J. C. Croly (Jenny June.)
* * ''l have had several years' experi
ence with a Grover A Baker Machine, which
has given ine great satisfaction. I think the
Grover A Baker Mncbiue is more easily man
aged, and less liable to get out of order. I
prefer the Grover A Baker, decidedly."
Mrs. Dr. Walls, Mew York.
* * "I have had one in my family for
some two years; and from what 1 know of its
workings, and from tbe testimony of many of
my friends who use the same, I can hardly
see how anything could be more complete or
give better satisfaction." Mrs. Gen. (Irani.
* * "I believe it to be the best, all things
considered, of any that I have known. It is
very simple and easily iriirned; the sewing
from the ordinary spools i* a great advan
tage, the slick is entirely reliable; it does or
namental work beantiluby; it is nt liable to
get out of order."— Mrs. A. M. Spanner, 36
Hand Street, Hrootctyn.
* ° "I am acquainted with the work of
the principal inacliim.-e: and 1 prefer the Gro
ver A Baker to tb-ui ail, because I consider
tbe stitch more elastic. I have work now in
tbe house which was done nine years ago,
which if still good."— .V rs. Dr. McCready,
So. 43 East Tod street, Sew York.
* * "More than two-thirds of all the
sewing done in my family for the last two
years has been done by Grover A Baker's
Machine, and I never bad a garment rip or
need mending, except those rents which
frolicsome boys will make in whole cloth. It
is in my opinion by far the most valuable of
any 1 have tried."— Mrs. llenry Ward
lieeeher.
* * "Tbe Grover A Baker Sewing Ma
chine has rendered in every respect the roost
| perfect satisfaction. Jt combines so many
j advantages with beauty of execution and
| economy in price that it is a necessity in ev-
I ery household."— Mrs. Governor Geary, liar
risburgh. Pu.
* * "I have had the Grover A liaker
Machine for ten or twelve years in constaut
use in my hcuse. I have seen and known
every kind of family sewing, both personal
and household, accomplished upon the Gro
ver A Baker Machine to the entire satisfac
tion ot all who were concerned."— liet. Ste
phen 11. Tyng.
* * "I find the Grover A Baker stitch
will wear as long as the garments do—out
wear the garment, in fact. The stitch will
not break on bias seams, when stretched, as
others do: and neither does it draw the work."
—Mrs. Dr. Whiting, 4 East 2 llh street, Sew
j York.
\ * "We have & Grover A Baker Sewing
' Machine for seven years in constant use,
j hemming, felling, tucking, and everything
| that the fingers can do. It is preferred over
all others on account of its durability of work,
elasticity and strength of stitch, ease of move
ment. and simplicity of construction." — Mrs.
General Duel.
* * "There could be no greater com
j fort in a family than a Grover A Baker Sew
ing Machine. 1 have used one for the last
nine or ten years, and 1 think it is decidedly
the best family Sowing Machine." Mrs. Alice
11. Whipple, vrij'e of Ilev. Dr. Whipple, See.
Am. M is*. Association.
* * "I have had an opportunity of ex
aminine and using other varieties of machines;
but I very much prefer the Grover A Baker
stitch, for strength, elasticity, and beauty. I
bave seen no other machine so simple in its
construction, so easily understood and kept
in order." —M/'s. E. D. Sanborn, St. Louis.

CHERRY PECTORAL,
For Diteatct of the Throat and Lunyt, each at
Coughs, Colds, Whoopiuy Couyh, limn
chilis, Aethma, and Consumption.
Prubobly never before in the who'c histoiy of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as thia
1 excellent remedy for pulmonary Complaints.
Through a long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it lia risen higher and high
j er in their estimation, ns it has become better
: known. Its uniform character aDd powertocure
! the various affections of the tungs and throat,
] have ina.le it known as a reliable protector against
ihero. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to yonng children, it is at tha same time the
: most effectual remedy that can be given for inri
! pient consumption, and the dangers us affections
; of tbe throat and lungs. Asa provision against
: sudden attacks of Croup, it should be kept on
! hand in every family, and indeed as all are sotne
. times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
; provided with this antidote for them.
! Although settled Consumption is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
j cured, and the patient restored to sound health
hy the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mas
tery over the disorders of the bungs and Throat,
! that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When
I nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
! Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great protee
-1 tion from it.
I Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
j cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cheiry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So g nerally arc its virtues known that we need
not publish the ceitifirates of them here, or do
more than assure tbe public that its qualities are
fully maintained.

Unacclimated persona, either resident in, cr
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be

For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity of
the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity.

is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re

S ARS APARILL A,
FOR PURIFYING XHK BLOOD#
The reputation this exceliaat Mdlcine enjoys,
if derived from its cures, many of which are truly
marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dU
ease, where the system seemed saturated with cor
ruption, have been puiined and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were
aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until
they were painfully afflicting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec
tion of the country, that the public scarcely need
to bo informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison it one of the mud destruc
tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and
unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the con
etitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling cr
fatal disease*, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
through the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among the
vitals. In the latter, tubercles inav be suddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions
on the skin, or foul ulcerations on tome part of
the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle
of this SAR6APARILLA 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
uMi of this SA RSA PA JUL LA: A7. Anthony'*
Fire, Rout or Eryiptlaa, Tctttr, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Ayes, Sore Ears,
and other eruptions or visible forms of Sc.ro/mlou
disease. Also iu the more concealed forms, as
!hj*pepttia, I)rop*y, Heart Ui*ea*e, Fit*. Epiltpay,
Sett rat git, and the various Ulcer on* affections of
the muscular and nervous systems.
Syj hili* or Venereal and Mercurial iJineate*
are cured by it, though a long time is required
fur subduing these obstinate maladies by any med
icine- Hut long continued use of this medicine
will cure the comrdaiot. Lencorrhata or White*,
Uterini Ulceration*, and Female Di*ea*e* r are
commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by
its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Di
rections for each oase are found in our Almanac,
supplied gratis. Rheumatism and (lout, when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters
in the blood, yield quickly to it, an also Liter
Complaint*, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflamma
tion of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising as
they often do, from the rankling poisons in the
blood. This SA RSA PA RILL Ais a great resto
rer for the strength and vigor of tht system.
Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent,
Sleepless, and troubled with Nervous Apprehen
sions or Fears, or any of the affections symptom
atic of Weak* ess, will find immediate relief and
convincing evidence of its restorative power upon
trial.

FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
THE ORE A T V ESI VERA TUM OP THE ARE
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the bair. failed or
gray hair it soon restored to its original color and
the yloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness
often, though not always, cured by its use.
Nothing can restore the hair where the follicle
are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decay
ed. But such as remain can be saved for useful
ness by this application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will koep it clean
and vigorous. It 3 occasional use will prevent the
hair from turning gray or falling off, and conse
quently prevent baldness. Free from those dele
terious substances which make some preparations
dangerous and injurious to the bair, the Vigor
can only benefit hut not ha'ui it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil while
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving
it a rich glosny iustrc aud .% grateful perfume.
