d jt(£cntrt Democrat BELLEFONTE, PA. --■■■ ■ J ■ A—U II THURSDAY, DEC., 13 18G0. W.W.BROWN, • - ASSOCIATEE DITOR. Before and After the Election. It is well, at times, we think, to review the past, to study its history, both ancient and modern and learn wisdom from its am ple pages, from the views and opinions of the worlds greatest statesmen and philosophers, and at the same time to so apply our accu mulated wisdom as to steer clear ol tlnir vice, folly, and wickedness. To inform him self on all the groat national questions of the day should be the duty of every American citizen. And while we are thm re-counting the past, it uiay be well enough to call to the remembrance of our readers some of the events and peculiarities of the iast Ptcsident tial contest. When the great parties of she country had met and each had selected i*s standard bear er for the contest, it was declared evrywhere by the best men ir-. the country, thnt there was a secession, a disunion party in the Sooth, and that J >hn C. B.Mekin ridge was the choßeu Ifeader and candidate of that par ty. The people of the Nor'h, or a respecta ble number of them, refused to believe this great truth, and nndei the sacred name of Democracy voted for Mr. Breckinrilge, thus not wilfully, we charitably hope, aiding to strengthen the secession sentiment, and to give aid and comfort to a class of men who have became absorbed on the question of nigger as to lose all their love for the Union of the States, their reverence for the name of Washington, Jeff ;rson, Madison, Henry, Ma son, aDd all the glories of the Revolutionary struggle. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad, is as applicable to the Secession ists now, as when it was first written. For years they have been tampered to, by our Northern politicians and place seekers so that they have become perfectly wilful, and as incorrigible a* a petted, spoiled child. In the last campaign the cry of these men was disunion, in the event of the election of Abraham Lincoln* The free working men of tbe North, determined, however, to vote as tbey pleased, bidding defiance to ttie threats of the Democratic Union dissolvers of the South. Abe Lincoln was, therefore, elected—elected constitutionally The lead ers of the Democratic party in the North db uied that their party or any portion of it was in favor of secession or disunion. They were loyal to the Constitution and denied that they were in any respect a pro slavery par ty. Now what are the facts and develop ments since the elec'ion? Firs t, that there was, an i is, a secession party in the South, that John C. Breckinridge w as the candidate of that party, really ana truly, and that nil the prominent Democratic U. S. Senate™ from the Scuth, and all the Democratic lead e c in the same section of the Union are this dav aiding secession, and doing all in their power to sow diseord and hasten the disso lution of this glorious confederacy. Even President Buchanan in his last message, weak and puerile as it is, has winked at tbe almost open treason of these men, and thus proved to the world that he too is in the pow er ef the South, and too weak in the knees to maintain the Constitution and to vigorously enforce the laws of the country. How he gets over, or evades his oaih of office is a mystery to us—all mys'eiy 1 The President in face of the facts of the his'ory, attempts to cast the whole blame upon the Northern freemen who love Justice, Mercy and Lib erty by showing that the North is guilty of numerous aggressions upon the South, and hence the trouble. lie is sustained, we say it to their shame,bv nearly all the Democrat ic papers in tbe North, iu these foolish and unhistorical assertions, Tbey should know better. They do know better, but tbey have not the manhood or moral courage to confess it. Who repealed th 9 Missouri Comprom'Fe? And prior to this act did not Democratic South Carolina under Jackson's administra tion attempt to go cut of the Union ? What we said before the election we say now, that the Republican party is in favor ol* the Union, the Constitution and the en ioicement of the laws. It guarantees to the Southern States every right and all their rights under the Constitution, and nothing more ; that the Republican party is the only party that can save this " Union," and that the Democratic par.yie th e only party that ever attempted to dissolve the Union, and that parry is really guilty of ail the agi.ation on the Slavery question, that they have curs ed the country with t -eir tree trade policy, aud are, therefore, guilty iD the first degree for all the hard times, as well as for the gloouu that new appears to darken our po litical horizon. It has been a sliam for the last twenty-five years; the cheat, however, has become so apparent ar: to render the par ry haunlesw, save, perhaps the rower to bowl disunion, and thorjby frighten timid ad women and such Doi:gb-face papers as the Pniladelphia Inquirer and other kindred sheets. Save the Union, should be the cry, the wa'chword ot every patriot and statesman; hut it shou'd also be the fixed determination of the great K .-oublican party to stand by its principles, as laid down i j the Chicago plat b<rm. Our own doctrine is, no more com promises with Slavery. Let us conciliate, let us deal kindly ,hut firmly with ihose Dem. i.eraric (Jo'on dissolve re. Let us hope that ]'resident Buchanan will Dot violate his oath i f ofiioe, ariu therefore hold the Union togeth er until the fourth of March next. If he does, our word for it, alter the inauguration of President Lincoln you will not bear a word more from the far atical heads of these Secession Democrats. We believe that we can see the jand ot Providence in the elec tion of Abraham Lincoln. Like Jackson, be will prove himself ecual to the emergency 1 Like J ickscn, he w:!l issue his Proclamation and say, ''The Union, it muaf.and shall be preserved." In the meantime we ask the honest Democrats of Centre County to watch closely the leaders of the Secession movement, and then tell us whether you will ever again j be willing to yote with men who hate their country, who will rule or ruin, and who have ! justly gained for themselves the name of ! Traitor, Tory, Disunionists. The Cabinet—Gen. Cameron. Pennsylvania deserves a place in the Cab inet of PRESIDENT LINCOLN 1 Who denies ; this? No one. Her delegation at Chicago, were in favor of making Gen, SIMON CAMER ON, the Standard-bearer of the hosts of free dom in the late canvass, and when it became apparent that he would not be nominated, the Pennsylvania delegates, recorded their votes 5D favor of Mr. Lincoln, and this course oi our members of that Convention, made ; that gentleman the candidate, and conse i quently the President. Gen. Cameron im mediately acquiesced, and in the Union did more for Mr. Lincoln's success, and the suc cess of our glorious cause. His labors in be ha.f of Governor Curlin, were arduous, and I our success, principally through Gen. Carn ■ eron's efforts at the first eleotion, made the ' election ot Mr. Lincoln a forgone conclusion. Nor did he stop here. His exertions were continued for Mr. Lincoln, and he had the proud satisfaction ot knowing that his State gave the largest plurality, and the largest majority, of any State in the Uricn. We do not know the views of Gen. Cameron on this matter but if be would accept a place in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, be ought to have it. It would satisfy the people of our State, and add credit to the Administration of Presi dent Lincoln. No man is better qualified, than Gen. Cameron, for the Interior, Treasu ry, or Post Office Department. He would equally adorn eirher station, and reflect hon j or on the Slate of Pennsylvania- We clip the above from tho Bedford Inqui rer, and v, e have no hesitation in saying that it speaks our sentiments. We are not person ally acquainted with Mr. Over, the Editor of the Inquirer, but, judging from his paper, we are forced to the conclusion that he is a true man and a sound politician. We hope to make his acquaintence soon. We take it fcr granted that Gen. Cameron will be Secretary of the Treasury, Pennsyl vania should have a Cabinet officer, and Gen. Cameron is just the man, and the Treasury department is just the place for which he is suited both by education and practice. Gen. Cameron's success, in life proves that he is not only one of the best financiers in the whole Union, but one of the finest statesmen. We hope Gen. Cameron will be selected to fill the post of Secretary of the Treasury. The President's Message. We haye just discharged the melancholy duty of reading tbe Annual Message of His Excellency, James Buchanan, President of thirty-two loyal States, and one rebellious kingdom in process of incubation on; tbe northern bank of the Savannah river. We are compelled to say of this document, as a poet of tbe eighteenth century 6aid of a friend who wrote long epitaphs : Friend, for your epitaphs I'm grieved ; Where still so much is said, One-half will never be believed — The other neyer read. The Message is a splendid vindication of the long disputed power of man to use lan guage to conceal ideas. We anticipated much from Mr. Buchanan, but be has sur passed our most sanguine expectations. His message is a document, verbally considered, nt d- cidtfd ability ; there are passages in it abounding ki toe flowers of genuine rhetoric; there is splendid logic, without synthetic niystccism ; there are axioms clear as the first proposition of Euclid ; everything, how ever, which is valuable in the paper before us, the world knew before ; everything that was desirable, enveloped in a fog more dense than that of the Crimea, during the late war, when a Russian column, forty thousand strong, advanced, unobserved, to a position only sixty yards distant from the sentinels of ttie British line. As Dr. Johnson sai l of Pope's ' Essay on Man," it is "a concate nation of indissoluble fatlity." The presi dent states his ground with mathematical perspecuity, but, like a weak man, which, of course, he is, by nature and by grace, he concludes every great subject which he treats by bringing tbe ruductio ad absurdum argument to bear against himself; his edi fice appears to be fortified by the most obvi ous principles of geometry, but the author does not fai' to show us that it can easily be demolished by tbe bakeries of tbe integral calculus. Mr. Buchanan's message is not one of those documents destined to be filed in the niches of immortality. It will, temporarily, startle the world by the aud city of some of its propositions in defence of despotism ; it will long excite the ingenuity of tbe curious by some of its apologies for acknowledged errors ; but it will mold and rust in very desuetude, aod cease to be interesting even to political antiquarians, long before the dry est pandects and rescripts of heathen Empe rors will have been consigned to tbe bats aod owls that haunt the academies of historical reading. Cincinna'i Times. Secession Inevi r able A correspondent of the Harrisburg Tellc giaph writing from Washington City under date of Dec., Bth seems to think the dissolu tion of the Union is inevitabie. The corre spondent signs himself, "Inquirer" and from the style and composition of the article we are under the impression it is Wein For ney, formerly of this plaee, he says : A wepk or even a day may develope dis union, and may it be in a shape more horri ble than ony civil war that deluged any Irnd with blood and uea:h. 1 have heretofore uelieved that the reality of secession would never be placed before the world for its con templation. My faith in this particu'ar po litical aspect has been forcibly changed, and I can i.o longer duuht the determination of the States on the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico to secede. They will do this as much to prove their resolution as to vin dicate their rights. South Carolina has already gone to far too recede. THE UNION PARTV. —Why is it that the Union pauy has so utterly subsided? That organization was formed for the avowed pur pose of saving the Union, yet now in this time of trouble it appears to be doing noth ing for that object. It received a considera ble vute North and South, and if its members were as anxious for preserving the confeder acy now as before the election, it might do much towards effecting a reconciliation, or at leaßt of preventing secession in the South. Probably this party is like ibe Democratic, quite willing to assist in preserving the Uni on if it can rule the country, but not other wise.—Daily News. The Presidents Message. We do not publish the Presidents message for two reasons: it is too long fot our limited space, and secondly, because ic is not worth publishing. We cannot take further notice of the motliy document at this time. In another column will be found a review which we copy from the Cincinnati Times, and endorsa every word it contains. At another time we will publish extracts from the Message. THE! CENTRE DEMOCRAT The Coming Compromise. John Bullwinkle wan an English laborer of average character but comely appearance who had the luek to attract and win the re gard of a woman in good circumstances who gave him her band and fortune. This change of condition, however, failed to .make John a gentleman : on the contrary, he spent much of his time in ale-houses in the company of bis old associates. Once when he and they had thus spent a day, and become unusually dozy, a boon-companion addressed him after this fashion : " John, I dare do what yon daren't." " No," responded John, " I defy you I" " Yes, I dare—l dare spend my last sixpence." Success cowns the efforts not so often of the strongest as of the most determined.— That party has a great advantage in any con troversy who dares spend his last sixpence. The South understands this, and acts ac cordingly. It has just staked its last six* pence—a threat of dissolving the Union. The North, in the full flush of victory, cowers be. fore it—we mean its politicians do. And of course this weakness is presumed upon. Be cent dispatches from Washington ars of this tenor: " Kentucky and Tennessae Senators and Representatives announce that the Union is held by a thread, and both States ready to fly with their Southern brethren if the North refuses satisfaction. '• Senators Salisbury, ol Delaware; Pow ell. of Kentucky; Nicholson of Tennessee ; Brown of Mississippi; Wigfall of Texas, and many others, express these opinions. " The opinion is now almost universal here that, unless these non-slaveholding States uonsent to give the Constitutional guarantees demanded all the elaveholding States will certainly secede. " A National Convention is growing in fa vor." —This is the old story. Sis," says a young one of four years, just sharpening his wisdom-teeth on the"eyer-whirling stone of experience, "do you want a piece of pie ?" " Yes." " Well, you cry and mother'll give you a piece." Advice showing good calcu lation on the young one's part, but a shock ing bad one on that of the mother. Suppose the North bad, in the agony of the Leoompton struggle, when every honora ble mind revolted at the monstrous iniquity of forcing a fraudulent Constitution on a pro testing. struggling people—a bill that Sena tor Hammond (who voted for it throughout) has since said ought to be kicked out of Con gress—declared that, if that bill be put through, she would secede from the Union— does not everybody know that the threat would have been hailed with a horse-laugh of derision from the unanimous South ? Why should it always be bers to threaten, ours to concede ? The North has just won a signal victory. She made her issues fairly, presented tbem clearly, went before the whole People upon them, and, after a canvass of unparalled ears neatness and assiduity, elected her candi dates. The division of her adversaries doubt less aided to produce this result ; but that is not our business. We did not distract them —tbey distracted themselves. They fully un derstood that their divisions gave ue the election unless they healed tbem, and they refused to heal tbem. Tbey practically con spired to let us win ; and now they propose to break up the Union because we did win. For Lincoln's election is the immediate im pulse to the threats of secession. The clam or about Personal Liberty acts does not de ceive one of those who raise it. Those acts have existed for years, and have amounted practically to no more than so much waste paper. The South has &aid little and cared less about them. But Lincoln is chosen President, and all at once the cry is raised, " Repeal your Personal Liberty acts, or we will break up the Union." Vainly do we urge that these acts, if un constitutional, can, at aDv moment, be upset 2nd dissipated by the Supreme Court, over which the South has absolute control; while, if they be constitutional, tbe demand that they be repoaled is utterly unwarranted— The object is not so much to have them re pealed, as to laise an issue on which the North can be made to humiliate herself iu tbe eyes of the world. . We are opposed to any such back-down. We share Falstaff's repugnance to rendering even reasons on compulsion, and we have even more dislike to making concessions un der duress. If tbe South desires auy change in tbe laws of Northern States, and will re quest the same in tbe spirit that sent Mr. Hoar from Massachusetts to Charleston to test in her own Courts and those of the Union such laws of South Carolina as bear hardly on citizens of Massachusetts, we shall be very glad to meet ber in tbat spirit, and have ail laws, whether North or South, that contra vene justice and the Federal Constitution, simultaneously repealed. We would do whatever is right, but a little sooner and more graciously in the absence of threats than in their irritating presence. We do notbeleive thai any humiliations to which the North may stoop will placate the Secessionists. They tell us frankly that Lincoln's election is not their incitement, bat their opportunity. The Personal Liberty acts are but a make-weight, is the relative prosperity, growth and wealth of the Free States, and especially of their cities. We say this is owing to Slavery; they will not see this, and are thus force! to lay all the blame on the Union. But f r the Union, they t'aiuk Charleston and Mobile would be as large as Boston and Pittsburg; the great exporting Statos also ; instead of being ter. ribly in debt and destitute, the South would owe nothing and havo every body in debt to her, selling her cotton at her prices and ma king the whole civilized world tributary to ber growth and glory, with mexico, Central America, Cuba, and perhaps Jlayti, succes sively adding to her empire. All this may be very foolish or very mad : but it is this that is now rolling eji the ball of Secession, and all attempts to stop it by Northern pros trations will prove fruitless. The Fire- Eaters have firmly resolved to desert us ; let us not compel tbem, in addition, to dispise us. —" But Stocks will droop, and Money will be scnrce, and Business be dull if we do not " bave a compromise." Very likely. No great reform was ever yet effected—no ad* vance made in Government of Morals—that did not cost something pecuniarily. As Car lyle forcibly says: "Pity," exclaimes Sauerteigonce "that a nation cannot inform itself, as the English are now trying to do, by what thoir news' papers call "Tremendous cheers." Alas lit cannot be done. Reform is not joyous, but grievous.; no single man can reform him self without stern suffering and working ; how much IPSS can a nation of meD 1 The serpent sheds not his old skin without rusty disconsolatenesH. he is not happy but mis erable. In the Water-cure itself, do you not sit steeped for months; washed to the heart in elementery drenchings;" and, like Job, are made to curse your day ? Reforming of a nation is a terrible buisness 1" —Then "let the winds howl on," untilj it shall be pettled that the North prizes equality freedom, and self-respect at least equally with the Union—that the Free States will surrender their conviotions nor their princi ples even to a threat that the Union shall be dissolved if they do not. Let it be settled now that the North recoils before a menace of disunion, and the retreat thus begun will not end till she is landed at the bottom of the valley of humiliation. No matter what may be the shape or the terms of the forth coming compromise, the South and the world will understand that the North ha placed herself on the stool of repentence and promised not to do so again. Better ten de~ feats than one such resu It of a viotory. The Logic of the Case. "See what ruin the Republicans have wrought 1" exclaim the northern locofoco journals. What is the ruin to which they refer ? Southern locofoeos refuse to pay their debts. Southern States labor to pro cure a monetary crisis. Southern men of Buchanan's Cabinet aid their efforts. South Carolina refuses to stay in the Union- She plots treason. Georgia, Florida, and Missis sippi help her. Every locofoeo journal in the North is glad, and manifests its gladness. They say vi rtually that Slaveiy ought to con strue .the Constitution as it pleases; ought to make laws at its will; and ought, in con junction with its allies, to hold the offices.— If the people refuse, the Slave-holding States, and the citizens thereof, ought to woik as much mischief as possible. So a burg'.ar and his accomplices, npon entering a premises find the owner awake aDd resolved to resist,. They kill him, his wife, and children and servants, and then help themselves to plunder at leisure. They do not upraid themselves. "What ruin this man's obstinacy has wrought I" say they. "If he had not resisted, we should have left him and his household alive and well." The logic of crime is the same in both in stances. -Columbia Republican, B®* Parson Brownlow calls attention in the last number of his Knoxville, ( Tenn. ) Whig to the fact that in that city the Union vote was 2,600, while that for Breckinridge was only 839—a tact very flattering to the influence of the Whig. The Parson states that he has received a present from one of bis opponents. He says : We received & small box this week by Ex press, from Baltimore, marked "private."— We suspected somo trick, and so expressed ourselves to the boys in the office, as we pro ceeded to ones it. Sure enough, it contain ed a dead rat, of the largest Baltimore pro duction ! Well, it is likely some Breckin ridge man sent it. We receive it as a fit representation of National Democ-raf, the fa ther of rats, and considering the one as dead as the other, we tossed it into the manure in a back alley, where everything with rat to the end of its name ought to go J South C arolina—Her Past History. It would be well for those locofocos in the North who justify the disunion demonstra tions of South Carolina to look back and call to mind the past history of that "fire eatiDg" State. It would convince them that this movement of to-day is not a new one, but th&tshe has taken more decided steps towards secession thirty years ago, than she has taken thus far in the present emergency. If it is Lincoln's election tnat drives her to secession now it was Jackson's administration that in cited her to disunion in *J2. If they le blam able now for supporting Lincoln, they were no less so than in supporting Jackson. If the South Carolina disunionists spout trea son, and abuse Lincoln, it is not likely that they can excel their own performences in that line against Jackson and the Union in 1832. A"by the Eternal" settled them then. It will prove as effectual now.— Col. Republi can. THE Richmond (Va.) Enquirer of two or three days since has this brief paragraph : " SOLD. —John Thomas, slave to Mr. Win 1 - ter of Louisville, Kentucky, who was brought here a few days since from New York, as a runaway, was sold on Tuesday, for S7OO, to a trader." Two false statements to four lines is a large allowance. John Thomas was not a slave to Mr. Winter, nor anybody else; neither was he a runaway from anywhere.— Had the Enquirer told the ezact truth, its statement would have run thus : " SOLD.— John 'Thomas, a black man, who was kidnapped in New Yom, a few days since, was sold for S7OO, on Tuesday, to a trader, because he was black, aud had no rights which anybody was bound to respect." ABRAHAM LINCOIN is not now the Presi dent of the Republican party. He has been legally chosen to this highest position in tbe United States, and as our Chief Magistrate he has a right co expect the lull support and confidence of every citizen. No true friend in the Union can in this juncture act in a manner calculated to weaken the author ity of the President, and thus give aid and comfort to the designs of the disunionists.— Abraham Lincoln will occupy the chair once filled by Washington, Jefferson and Jackson, and until he shall in some manner forfeit public confidence, all must recognize and re spect his authority. We trust that no Northern man, at least, will be so unfaithful to the spirit of our institutions as to obstruct or resist his lawful acts as the chief of the whole nation. A PATRIOTIC SCENE, — Florence, the actor, did a little "gag" in a St. Louis theatre, the other night, which brought down the house tremendously. Mrs, Florence had sung and danced in sailors costume, holding the star spangled banner, which she tossed to Mr. Florence at the other side of the stage. lie took it, spread it out carefully, counted its thirty-three stars aloud, and exclaimed with deep feeling, "Thank God, they are all there!" The house rose as one man, and tbe enthusiasm lasted several minutes.

St. FLOUR FOR SALE.—Extra superfiine family Flour lor sale by Dec. J3, 1860.] D. LB7DEN k CO. MISCELLANKOUS. Tut AMALGAMATION or LANGUAGBB. —There is a growing tendency in this age to appropriate the mhßt expressive words of other languages, and after a while to incooporate them into our own ; thus the word Cephalic, which is from theQreek, signifying " for the head," is now becoming pop ularized in connection with Mr. Spalding's great Headache remedy, but it will soon be used in a more general way, and the word Cepalic will be come as common as Electrotype and many others whose distiction as foreign words has been worn away by common usage until they seem " native and to the manor born." 'ARDLY REALIZED. Hi 'ad 'n 'orrible 'eadacb e this hafternoon, hand I stepped into the hapothecaries hand says hi to the man, " Can you hease me of an 'eadache?" — " Does it hache 'ard,"says 'e. "Hexceedingly," says hi, hand upon that 'e gave me a Cephalie P ill, knnd 'pon me 'onor it cured me so quiek that I 'ardly realized I 'ad an'eadache. HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which nature makes known any deviation whatever from the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended to give notice of disease which might other vise escape attention, till too late to be remedied ; and its indications should never be neglected. Heed- , aches may be classified under two names, viz : Symptomatic and Idiophatic. Symptomatic Head ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor of a great variety of diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of diseases of the stomach constituting sick head ache, of hepathic disease constituting bilious head ache, of worms, constipation and othei disorders of the bowels, as well as renal and uterine affec tions. Diseasas of the heart are very frequently attended with Headaches ; Anainia and plethora are also affections which frequently occasion head ache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually distinguished by the name of ner vous headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently sound health and prostrat ing at once the mental and physical energies, and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits or acerbity of temper. In most instances the pain is in the front of the bead, 'over one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting ; under this class may also be named Neuralgia For the treatment of either class of Headache the Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and sate remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the dis ase of which Headucbe is tae unerring in dex. ■ ■■■" csy> i. i. BRIDGET. —Missus wants'you to send herabox of Cephalic Glue, no, a bottle of Piepared Pills, — but I'm thinking that's not just it naither ; but perhaps ye'll be afther knowing what it is. Ye see she's nigh dead and gone with the Sick Head ache, and wants some more of that same as reliev ed her before. Druggist. —You must mean Spalding's Cephalic Pills. Bridget. —Och! sure now and you've sed it, here's the quarther and give me the Pill- 4 aud don't be all day about it aither. CONSTIPATION OR COSTIVENESS. No one of the " many ills flesh is heir to" is so prevalent, so little understood, and so much ne glected as Costiveness. Often originating in care les-ness, or sedentary habits ; it,is regarded as a slight disorder of too little cousequenee to excite anxiety, whiie in reality it is the precursor and companion of many of the most fatal and danger ous diseases, and unless early eradicated it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual attendant are Headache, Colic, Rheumatism. Foul Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a long train of frightful diseases, such as Malignant Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentery, Di irrhoea, Dyspep sia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Hyposfaondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indicate their presence in the system by this alarming symptom, Not unfrequently the dis eases named originate in Constipation, but take on an independent existence unless the case is erad icated in an early ctnge. From all these consid erations it follows that the disorder should rec> ive immediate attention whenever it occurs, and on the first appearance of the oomplaint, as their timely use will expel the insiduo'us approaches of diseases and destroy this dangerous foe to human life, A REAL BLESSING. Physician. —Well, Mrs, Jones, how is that head ache'! Mrs Jones, Gone ! Doctor, all gone! the pill yon sent cured me in just twenty minutes, and I wish you would send me more so that I can have them handy. Physician. —You can get them at any Druggists. Call for Cephalic Pills, I find they never fail, and 1 recommend them in all cases of Headache, Mrs. Jones, —l shall send for a box directly, and shall tell all my sufferiug friends, for they are a real blessing. TWENTY MILLIONS OR DOLLARS SAVED. —Mr. SpaldiDg has sold two millions of bottles of his celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated that each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth ot broken furniture, thus making an aggregate of twenty millions of dollars reclaimed from total loss by this valuable invention. Having made bis Glue ah.< usehold word, he now proposes to do the world still greater service by curing all the ach ing heads with his Cephalic Pills, and if they are as good as his Glue, lleadacbes will soon vanish away like snow in July, FACTS WORTH KNOWING, —Spalding's Pills are a eertai cure for Sick Headache, Bill ions Headache, Nervous Headache, Costiveness and General Debility. Nervous Headache Meafeelm By the use of the Pills the periodic attacks of Nervous or Sitk Headache may be prevented; and if taken at the commencement of an attack imme diate relief from pain and sickness will be obtain ed. Tbey seldom fail in removing the Nausea and Headache to which female are so subject They act gently upon the bowels, —removing Costiveness. For Literary Hen, Students, Delicate Females, and all persons of sedentary habits, they are valu able as a Laxative, improving the apdetite, giving tone and vigor to the.digestive organs, and restor ing the natnrol elasticity and streagth of the whole system. The CEPHILIC PILLS are the result of long investigation and carefully conducted experiments having been in use many years, daring which time they have prevented and relieved a vast amount of pain and suffering from Headache, whether originating in the nervous system or from a de ranged state of the stomach. They are entirely vegetable in their composi tion, and may be taken at all times with perfect safety without making any change <f diet, and the absenee of any disagreeable taste renders it easy to administer them to children.
