The Superintendent of Soldier's Orphan Schools of this State, sent the following circular, to both houses of the Legislature, on Friday last, which was referred to the Committees on Education in the respective branches: SCHOOL DEPAHTMT.HT, January 14,1874. To the Senate and House of Representatires of the Commonwealth of Jttimytrania—GENTLEßlCX: The management of the sol diers' orphan schools came into my hands on the let day of June, 1071. Soon afterwards rumors reached 1,00 affect ing the moral character of the then principal of the orphan school at Camellia, Huntingdon county, Mr. A. L. Guss.— These rumors have multiplied aiuce that time. Without making formal charges certain parties have privately ac cused Mr. Guss of practicing gross immoralities, and cer tain newspapers have circulated articles and slips repeat ing the accusations and profaning to be able to prove them. Mr. Gum upon suing one of his accusers for libel failed to secure from the jury a verdict of guilty against him and was himself compelled to pay one-half the costs. From the first I have been watchful as to the manage ment of the school at Cassville. I have instituted inquir lea of all parties supposed to be able to furnish information In regard to the alleged criminal practices. Days and weeks have been spent in the effort to find what truth, if any, might exist at the bottom of the scandalous stories so diligently kept afloat. The inspectors of the orphan schools under my direction, tiara occupied much time at Casaville in looking and inquiring. The complaining par ties in Huntingdon have been again and again urged, but without avail, to bring the proper charge and test the case in the courts. Without money that could be used to pay the expenses of • formal investigntion, without power to summon or swear witnesses, or, if summoned and ewer!, to examine them, I have done aloe very best I could to pick out the truth from the cloud of flying reports; but up to the present moment uncertainity rests upon the whole case. Nothing positive seriously affecting adversely the moral character of Mr. Casa has been ascertained. He may be a guilty man, but if so I have not come into posses ion of the proof of it. To remove, however, if poe-ible, the cause of complaint without breaking up the school, it was con cluded more than a year ago that it was beet for Mr. Gass to resign the principalship of the school. This he did and now resides with his family at Huutiugdm, twenty milea distant from it. But he still awns the property and in some measure controls the school, and frequently visits it. The school itself', in good condition. Within a few mouths, and especially since the meeting cram legislature, the accusers of Mr. Guss have become bolder and mom violent. They seem to have found new matter for diecontent. A slip from aloe Huntingdon Jour nal containing charges against hint of the gravest charac ter bee been placed in the bands of the members. Still re fusing to take the necessary steps to bring the cam before the courts, they mike a more urgent demand than hereto fore for the removal of the school at Cossville. Even the ir c iier::,:ii * it; it I;rdertiVit ViVe l g" moved. • ...Hesitating to subject the state by any action yyf mine not founded on stronger grounds than rumors and suspi cions to a claim for heavy damages, like those heretofore allowed in similar cases under my predecessor in office, and debarred by want of money and judicial power from having a full and searching hearing of the case, I hereby ask the legislature by committee or commission, or in any other way their judgement may approve, to take charge of the whole matter and give it a full and fair investigation. Desinng above all things to keep our whole orphan school system In every respect pure, this department, with the concurrence of the governor, will most cheerfully carry Into effect without delay any decision arrived at by such a proceeding. Respectfully submitted. J. P. WIcICLELIMAII. The soul of the superintendent appears to be very much exercised, because some private individual would not undertake to spend hundreds of dollars to vindicate the laws, by prosecuting the beast charged with innumerable crimes, while he, the chosen guardian of these orphans, with the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at his back, stood looking on complacently. Fudge! It was only when the Governor was about to send a special message to the Legisla ture, on this subject, that this Rip Van Winkle was aroused to a sense of his duty. Now, then, such a state of morality, as has never before disgraced civilization, will be shown up if the Committees only afford half a chance. .. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Philadelphia and Exuding Railroad. held on Monday, the managers submitted an interesting annual report. The gross receipts of the corporation during 1873 were $14,832,661, against $13,125,038 in 1872, and the expenses were $9,474,895. against $8,063,542 in the previous year. The net profits, therefore, for the year 1873, were $5,357,766, or more than a million of dollars in excess of the profits of the preceeding year. Such a marked increase of business during a year which closed amidst the depression resulting from a financial crisis of three months' duration was certainly not to be expected. The company transported a total tonage of 6,- 185,433.16 tons in 1872. The increase in the number of passengers and of the amount of merchandise was much greater. The report of the Directors of the North Pennsylvania Railroad Company, whose stockholders also met on Monday, also shows an increase in receipts for the last year over the year ending October 31, 1872, notwithstanding the effects of the panic. se_ Spring elections have heretofore been held in March. Under the new Con stitution they will be held on the third Tuesday of February. Every male citi zen twenty-one years of age or over shall be entitled to vote at elections if he pos sesses the following qualifications: First.

Cheap 7 , ransportation Convention. WASIIINGTON, D. 0., Jan. 19, 1874. WORE IN CONGRESS. The back pay bill has finally been disposed of by repealing all of said bill exeept so much as refers to and provides for an increase of the President's salary to $50,000 and the Justices of the U. S. Supreme Court to $lO,OOO each per annum. The pay of U. S. Senators and Mem bers of the House will be as formerly $5,000 per annum, with mileage 20ets per mile for one round trip each year. Much time was wasted in debating the bill before.it was fi nally disposed of. All amounts of the back pay returned to the U. S. Treasury, and the amounts that had not been drawn out are un der the provisions of the bill to be covered in to the U. S. Treasury for the use of the Gov ernment. TEE NATIONAL FLNANCES, 4 00 5 25 400 5 25 The condition of the finances of the country has been the subject to which the attention of Congress, and especially of the Senate, has been directed, more than to any other during the past week. No settled policy has yet been reached. Both in the Senate and House there are able advocates of an expansion of the cur rency, while at the same time strong argu ments are presented in favor of the opposite policy and an early return to specie payments. Others again contend that no legislation on the subject is necessary, and if let alone the currency and return to gold and silver pay ments will regulate themselves.

It will be rembered that a bill was before Cong,ress at its last session to set apart the proceeds of the sales of public lands as edu cational fund for all future time. The bill was under consideration in the House early in the week; but in view of the general op position to an increase of public expenditures the further considertiou of the bill was post poned to the third Tuesday in March. THE CHIEF JCSTICESHIP. The President has been unfortunate in his nominees to fill the high and responsible posi tion of Chief Justice of the 11. S. Supreme Court. Attorney General Williams was too young, and besides he rode in an expensive carriage. The nomination hang in the Senate, and was finally withdrawn at the nominees own request. Hon. Caleb Cushing was then nominated, and he came neat a confirmation on the spur of the moment when his name was presented to th 3 Senate. A motion was made however to let the nomination lie over for a day. At once an attack was made upon Mr. Cushing by the Washington Chronicle, New York Tri bune and other interested or opposition jour nals. The attacking forces gained strength from day to day for four days when the Presi dent wrote a note to the Senate withdrawing the nomination. Before the Messenger left the Executive Mansion a letter from Mr. Cush ing was put into the hands of the President asking him to withdraw the name. • It was done immediately. Among other grave charges, true and false, made against Mr. Cushing was that lie wrote a letter to Jeff Davis in 1861, of which the following is a cor rect copy - - WARRINGTON. March 20, 1861. Data SIR : Mr. Archibald Deane, for the last six or seven yeara a clerk in the Attorney General's office, de sires from me a letter of introduction to you; and he de sires it not in the view of anticipating administration fa vors, brit that ho may have the honor of your personal in tercourse. Of this, I take the pleasure in assuringyon, he is eminently worthy. A Snuthern man by birth, family and affection, he has carefully studied, and ably discussed in Mr. Deßow's "Moslem" nod other Souther works, the la mentable events which have been gradually undermining and have at length overthrown the American Union. o Lo in..tan it ripe and ac,oruplished scholar, with, indeed, predominant literary tastes and nam Hs. In the discharge of kis official duties he has combined in a singular degree the purest integrity and most enlight ened intelligence with modest contentment in his lot, hav ing more than once declined offers of more conspicuous employment in the public service. He now rosigns his present office from sentiments of devotion to that which alone he can feel to be his country—namely the Confeder ate States, from one of which (Texas) he was appointed. I moat heartily commend him ati a gentleman and a man to your confidence and esteem. And I am, with the high est consideration, your obedient servant. C. Cinema lion. Jefferson Paris, President of the Confederate Mates The letters was found among the confeder ate archieves now in the War Department at Washington, and somebody handed it to a Senator who read it before the Senate when the nomination of Mr. Cushing was under consideration and had just been supported by a speech from Mr. Boutwell. No one was al lowed a copy of the letter ; but that evening the editor of the Washington Chronicle fabri cated what purported to be a true copy of the letter, and published it in the issue of next morning, as follows ; WaSittNonoW, p. C., Uarch 21, 1861. Hon. Jefferson Davis My DEAR FRIEND : The bearer of this letter, Archibald Roane, has had seven years' experience in the ordnance department at Washington, and has been an efficient offi cer. He has been a contributor to De Bow's Rerieto, where he has discnssed the complications and causes which have resulted in the destruction of the American Union, and now leaves here for the southern confederacy through loyalty to the south. I think you will find hint of special service to you. Tour friend, You will notice there is no comparison be tween the two letters beyond the signature. The Chronicle carried its point, but its course is severely condemned here by Republicans and Democrats alike. THE INDIAN QUESTION, A conference meeting was held at the Ar lington Hotel in Washington on Wednesday, of the Board of Indian Commissioners and representatives of missionary societies, to con sider the Indian question. Mr. Janney op posed the proposed transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War department, Mr. Dorsey moved that a committee be appointed to draw a memorial to Congress asking that no such transfer be made. After some debate, a res olution offered by Mr. Reed was adopted, en dorsing the Indian policy of the government, and expressing unabated confidence in its ul timate success, of which the happy unity that has thus far existed between the Interior De partment, the Board of Indian Commissioners and the various missionary organizations is a most grateful indication. Mr. Meacham, one of the &embers of the Modoc peace commis ston, and who was shot at the time General Canby was killed, took strong grounds against the change. He claimed that the wrong do- Ingo of the Modocs were caused by wicked white men, and notwithstanding that he had suffered from the Indians he would always be their friend. A resolution was adopted that the agricultural industry of the Indians should be fostered by purchasing from them such of their products as the government may require. The conference then affirmed the resolution regarding the sacredness of the rights of the Indians in the Indian territory, and the meet ing adjourned. THE INDIAN QUESTION BEFORE THE HOUSE COM- RITTER OM MILITARY AFFAIRS. On Thursday the House Committee on Mili tary Affairs, at their meeting heard the state ments of Mr. Felix R. Brunot, President of the Board of Indian Commissioners, and Mr. In galls, of the Indian service, on the subject of the necessity of military force to control the Indians. The committee examined these gen tlemen at considerable length as to the con dition of Indian affairs. Both of the gentle men gave as their opinion that military force was not necessary or expedient in most cases, but that there are certain tribes or bands whom it would be well to place under military Eurruillance. VIRGINIA'S NEW SENATOR, Out of about a score of aspirants the Vir ginia legislature has selected a Senator. The new Senator, Lieutenant Governor Withers, was a colonel in the confederate service, sub sequently he became editor of the L7,tnehburg News, and was the conservative candidate for governor in 1868. Last fall he hotly contested the nomination for governor with General Kemper, and when the conservatives finally nominated that gentleman, he took the second place on the ticket, and received the largest number of votes cast for any candidate. Pos sibly his course in that canvas earned the gratitude of his political associates, and facil itated his elector for Senator. CHEAP TRANSPORTATION-.THE NATIONAL CON- This important convention of the ".Amerl can Cheap Transportation Association" met in Lyceum Hall, Washington, on Wednesday, and continued in session for several days. Hon. Josiah Quincy, of Boston, presided. In his opening remarks the president stated the following SUBJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION, A canal from Georgian Bay, in Lake Huron, to Lake Ontario ; a ship canal around the Falls of Niagara; a canal connecting the St. Law rence with Lake Champlain and the Hudson ; the enlarging of the Erie canal; the Atlantic and Great Western canal from Gantersville, in Alabama, to Savannah, Ga.; the Kanawa canal, connecting the Ohio with the James and Norfolk ; and the improvement of the Tennessee, the Cumberland, the Mississippi and rivers connecting the lakes with the latter, and said it was evident none of these eater prises could be carried out by individual en terprise, but must be done by the general government. A personification of these mo nopolies would resemble the image seen in a vision by the Oriental monarch, "its head was of gold, its arms of silver, its belly of brass, its legs of iron, but its feet were of mere clay. A stone cut out of the mountain smote it, and it was no more seen." When called upon for its interpretation the prophet told the mon arch that the vision showed him howweak were the foundations of the mightiest king doms if not sustained by justice and right. I firmly believe that the united will of this peo ple, if inspired with justice and executed with moderation, may yet find, without unjustly injuring those who have really invested their money in these enterprises, a mode of allevi ating the evils of which we complain, and unite more directly in mutual interest the various sections of our great republic. May our deliberation, gentlemen, do something to wards hastening toward this much desired consummation. Reports on each of those routs were presen ted and debated, and a large amount of valu able information elicited, and great practical results are anticipated from the action and efforts of the Association. Our New York Letter. The Weather—Sheriff Brennan's Trouble—The District Attorney—Business—The Chief-.Tos ticeship—The Working Men. NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 1874, THE WEATHER-STREET CLEANING. Drizzle, drizzle, pour, pour. These four words express accurately the weather that the city has been favored with for a week. A steady, soaking, pouring rain—a rain that kept the gutters full, and the streets swimming, made New York the most uncomfortable place in the world. The fashionable promenades were deserted, the trade palaees were empty, and the nretty clerks, who part their hair in the middle, had nothing•to do but to flatten their sweet noses against the damp panes, looking and longing for the buyer who came not. But the fierce rain was a good thing for New York, for it cleaned the streets. The streets are only cleaned by the rain. The city pays an enormous sum ev ery month for street cleaning, but none of it is ev er done. The contractors appear promptly the first of each month, draw their money, and go their way joyfully, and the city swims in filth, till a great rain washes it out into the rivers. Then the stones in the pavement show their heads, the gutters smell a little less like pest-houses, and for a few days, the man who has a nose finds life en durable. New York is always thankful for a good rain. MR. SHERIFF BRENNANS LITTLE TROUBLE. The Tammanyites are in a more serious frame of mind than they have been since the beginning of their troubles. Mr. Sheriff Brennan is the present toad under the legal harrow. The escape of Har ry Genet was considered by Tammany one of the most exquisite jokes of the season. A mere men tion of it was sufficient to produce loud guffaws, and when a ring-striker met any one connected with the sheriff's Office, it was made the occasion of many jocose winks and much hilarious rib-punch ing. Brennan was the hero of the rum-mills, and was the especial admiration of every broken-nosed ruffian in the city. But Judge Daniels put a sud den stop to all this pleasantry ; for behold yen, he pulled Sheriff Brennan—he adjudged him guilty of contempt of court in permitting his prisoner to escape, and he fined him $250, and, in addition sent him to jail for thirty days, this being all the penalty he could put upon him. And more, Mr. Sheriff Brennan was notified that the moment he had served his time out, he would be subject to a criminal prosecution for conniving at Genet's escape, whioh opens the cheerful prospect of Sing Sing to him. Then the jocularity attendant upon this escape ceased. The thieves did not wag their heads and wink their eyes at Mr. Brennan. In jail for allow ing a prisoner to escape! Preposterous! Why the thing had been done a thousand times. But Judge Daniels was inflexible, and so the doors of Ludlow street jail closed upon the Sheriff, and the ring is quaking in its boots. The man who has done the most of the work in breaking dowa this malign influence is a man al most unknown outside the city. MR. H. C. ALLEN, the district Attorney. Allen is a magnificent law. yer, who, when he knows a thing, knows that he knows it. He is a man not only of much•legal learning, but he has the legal mind and a plucky pugnacious spirit that delights in encounters in which hard blows are given and taken. Douse roently, Mr. John Graham, who has brow-beaten every lawyer at the New York bar, and who had contrived to make them all afraid of him, was as tonished to find in District-Attorney Allen a man who could neither be beaten at the game of law, or frightened out of any position he might assume.— Then they tried money on hint, but they found to their greater astonishment an honest official, who in such a manner, had no regard whatever for money. Mr. Allen, in short, gave the thieves to under stand that he was after them, and that he should stay after them till he had every one of them in the penitentiary. He drew the indictment against Tweed so carefully that a mosquito could not get through its meshes, he challenged firers day after day till he had secured an honest one, then he lock ed horns with John Graham, and never let up till he had John Graham's client safe on Blackwell's Island in a striped suit. It was he who pursued Ingersoll to the same end, and Genet likewise, and he is hunting the others with equal pertinacity. Mr. Allen is a man of perhaps forty, with an honest pleasant face, that reminds one of a good natured bull-dog. He is a universal favorite in all social circles. Ho is poscoeed of a keen wit, won derful powers of analysis, and what ho does not know of law is not worth knowing. Its is almost blind. Ilis eye& are r,9 defective that to read the coarsest print he is compelled to hold the page within an inch of his eyes. Imagine the dogged perseverance that has made a great lawyer of a man with such eyes.. CALEB COBBMG. is improving rapidly. All the banking houses that were not rotten have resumed ; money is accumu lating and the wheels are revolving with something like their old rapidity. It transpires that the great financiers who went down in the late financial storm, are not down as much as was thought. It his been published far and wide that Vanderbilt had lost $20,000,000, and was crippled. It is true he would have lost a large sum, probably not as much as that, but enough to have hurt him, had he not absolutely owned all the stocks he held.— Owning them, their going up or down made no dif ference to him. But the old fox did a very bril liant thing. He not only held on to all that he had, but when prices struck bottom (and ke knew when the bottom was struck), he commenced buying all that offered. The rise on the stocks he b ught when they were at the lowest, will make good all his losses, and eventually leave hint a large balance. Drew is damaged somewhat, but he managed as the old fellow always does, to shove the losses up on others. When he is loaded down with a stock that is certain to go down, he immediately goes to his nearest friends, and confidentially advises them to buy that particular stock, assuring them that a rise in it is certain. Then Daniel straightway sells all that he has of it and goes on his way rejoicing.— He is about as unsortipulous as the shrewd Ken tuckian who had a very bad horse. "Jim," said he to his brother, "I her sold that hoss." "What d'ye git for him; "Hundred dollars. "Hundred dollars for that blind, spavined, glen dered scare-crow! Who did ye take in with it ?" "Ye'd never guess in a week. 'Twigs mother." It is not of record that Daniel ever unloaded bad stock on his mother, but he has done quite as queer things. It id an expensive thing to be Drew's friend. Jay Gould is, however, a gone case. It is usual for such men to have something laid away, and Gould had it; but In making his fight this time, he threw all bis reserve in, and it was eaten up.— Gould is to-day a poor man, but ho will come up. There are too many opportunities for such men in New York. The appointment of Caleb Cushing to the Chief- Justiceship excites great surprise in the metropo lis, for the Republicans of New York wanted Ev arts. They are particularly displeased with Cushing because of kis political record. It is a fact that cannot be overlooked that Cushing was, 1 1 before the war, a virulent pro-slavery man; during pie war a staunch supporter of the South, and a bitter opponent of the government; and after the war an opponent of all the reconstruction meas ures, every one of which helms pronounced uncon stitutional a thousand times. Consequently the Republicans of New York are disappointed. They cannot understand why such staunch Republicans as Evarte, Hoar, Pierrepont, Waite and a score of others were passed over, and the most objection able man, palitically,in the country selected. They lack confidence in him. Ile is as unstable as wat er, and as tricky as a horse-jocky, and as unscrup ulous as a Tammany leader. The Republican and Independent press of the city denounce the ap pointment; it pleases only the Democratic papers. The Tribune, the ablest of the great dailies, is especially severe upon it, while the Times is as bitter as wormwood. Particularly do they °Neat° Cushing, because he will doubtless be called upon to pass upon the reconstruction measures, the unconstitutionality of which he has so positively declared. The only comfort I can extract from the situation is Cush ing's age. Ifs is over seventy, and his funeral can not be far distant. Death has its uses. What a horrible thing it would be if such men were im mortal. are making demonstrations. They have held sev eral mass meetings, their demand being that the city shall give them labor or bread. Much in cendiary talk is heard, and fiery appeals to the worst passions are freely indulged in. But the movement has excited but very little attention.— "The hard-handed laborers," who belch forth tor rents of red-hot indignation over the wrongs of the laboring men, are old acquaintance!. They are the red-nosed patriots whe never did a stroke of work in their lives, who make a precarious liv ing by gab, and are ready to espouse any "cause" that will furnish them whiskey and bread—particu larly whiskey. They can get on very well without bread. These fellows are urging their "fellow-la borers" to take by the strong hand what they want• They stigmatize the holding of property an a crime and bold up as an enemy to mankind any man who wears a clean shirt. N. H. P . These are the fellows who do the striking for Tammany. They would strike against Tammany just as readily if it would pay better. ' I never see one of them without thanking Heaven that capital punishment has not been abolished in this State. While labor is scarce in New York, at this time, the real laboring men have work—enough at least to liveon. No man who can work and will work is without something to do. Your excrescences, and your merely ornamental men, are at a die count, and are having a hard time of it. It is well. If they should all starve the world would be better for it. At p esent writing tho sun is out, and the air is as balmy as a June morning. It is a deliciously queer day for this latitude. Letter from Harrisburg. I.l4.nnisimaa, January 17, 1874. EDITOR JOURNAL :-It DMA surely be a source of great gratification to the people of our mighty Commonwealth, to mark with what a degree of unanimity the Legislature of 1874 has gone to work, and how smoothly the machinery of govern ment is moving on under the new regime. Your readers, no doubt, have seen many accounts of the opposition manifested against the new constitu tion, in the opening days of the present Legisla ture, and that there was a show of opposition on the part of the ring politicians cannot be denied. It was however but an effervescence which has now entirely disappeared leaving the solid mate rial behind. The "deep seated plot" against the new constitution has proved groundless and to day both Houses of the body legislative are busi ly at work under the new constitution and its power is known and felt. THE PHILADELPHIA ELECTION BILL offered by Senator McClure on the first day of the session, still continues to be the chief object of in terest in the Senate. Since its first introduction it has been the subject of very much discussion, and passed through a variety of modifications and amendments, until a new bill was substituted for it on Thursday last by Senator White, of In diana county. Mr. White's bill ran nearly the same course as the one for which it was substitu ted. It was amended and modified and yesterday afternoon passed to a third reading and was de feated. BA L 4 RTES. Senator Rutan has introduced a bill to regulate the Salaries of members and officers of the Legis lature. Its provisions are that the members shall be paid one thousand dollars eaoh with mileage. The chief clerk to receive twenty-five hundred dol lars and each of the other officers, one thousand. The Judiciary Committee to whom were refer red the petitions of Messrs. Nagle and Wagonsel ler contesting the Seats of Damon and Dill have decided that under the new constitution no contest can be had in their respective cases so the gentle men who hold the seats will keep them. SENATE gqS!MITTEES. The Standing Committees of the Senate were announced by Speaker Strang on Wednesday morning. It is acknowledged even by the Dem ocrats that, in the selection of the chairman of these committees, Mr. Strang, has acted very wisely and with great political liberality, and has shown that he has a true regard for the interests of the people. These committees will soon be pro vided with plenty of work. The Senate adjourded yesterday afternoon until next Tuesday evening. The local legislation bill introduced into the House by Brockway, of Columbia, has parsed to a third reading and will likely pass finally to-day. This bill provides that ail the provisions in a local bill, to be presented to the Legislature, must be specifically set forth in a notice to be published in the counties affected, fur at least thirty days in two Lewspapers. The case of the contested seat of Jesse Amer , man, of Northumberland, was referred to the gen eral judiciary committee which has not yet re ported. of the House were appointed yesterday, and before the session closed, quite a number of bills were in their hands for consideration. The House adjourns this morning until next Wednesday. A petition of twelve hundred signers from Bed ford county and petitions from other counties will soon be presented to the Legislature asking for the repeal of the local option law. It is the gen erally expressed opinion that the law will be re pealed. It has been decided that County officers now in office, are not within the provisions of section 30 of the Schedule of the now Constitution. No tary Publics are, and must take the oath it pro scribes to support the new Constitution. We hope soon to report the abundance of work. The Boston Post attributes tp Pre,ident Grant the following language, in a recent conversation with an Administration Sen ator : "I nominated a lawyer for Chief Justice and you refused him because you said that he didn't know enough ; then I sent in the name of a man who is endors ed by the bar as a thorough lawyer and you object to him because you say he is an atheist. Now if you reject him I will send in the name of Jeremiah S. Black."

Symptoms of Catarrh Obstruction of nasal passages, discharge falling into throat, annetimes profuee, watery, acrid or thick and ten acious, mucous, purulent, bloody, putrid, offensive, etc. In others a dryness, weak or inflamed eyes, ringing in ears, deafness, ulcerations, smile from ulcers, voice altered, nasal twang, offensive breath, impaired smell and taste, etc. Few only of above symptoms likely to be present in any case at one time. To cure—take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery earnestly, to correct the blood and system, which are al ways at fault, also to act specifically, as it (low, upon the diseased glands and lining membrane of the nose and its communicating chambers. The more I see of this odious disease, the more positive is my belief that if we would make treatment perfectly successful in curing it, we must use constitutional treatment to act through the blood, as well as a soothing and healin; 10,1 application. Dr. Svge's Catarrh Remedy, when used warm and applied with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, effects cures upon "common sense," rational and scientific principles, by its mild, sooth ing and healing properties, to which the disease gradually yields, when the system has been put in perfect order by the use of the Golden Medical Discovery. Thisis the only perfectly safe, scientific and successful mode ofacting upon and healing It.
