AN APPEAL TO LOYAL PENNSYLVANIANS. The “GITTYSBUBG BATTLE-FIELD ME. MORIAL ASSOCIATION’ ’ was Instituted for the puTpowof securing, forever, the principal paints upon the great bat'-le-fleldof the war, in theexact condition in which they were left in Jnly, 1863 f when the rebel hordes of the invader Leb were driven back from the free soil of Pennsylvania, and when the gallant soldiers of General Meade remained in possession of .the field which they had won by their vaior. The Association have.already secured the put chase of Cembieby Hill, Culp’s Hill, Granite Spue and Round Top, with the entrenchments thrown up just upon the eve of the great conflict which was the turning point in the career of the rebellion. The field, with its redoubts, wonderful stone defences, its timber breast-w orks, itsforest heights, with the trees tom by shells and countless btnlets, and its long lines of earthwork defences! have all been preserved intact, and to so ccntirtie to preserve them, as to be a monument forever of the greatest of American is the object of the formation of the Association, To enable a large number of persons to join in this patriotic work, the projectors of the plan placed the subscriptions at ten dollarseach. The payment of thin sum MAKES EACH SUBSCRIBER A MEMBER OP THE ASSOCIATION, AND PART OWNEE OP THE GLOBtous Field op Gettysburg. What Loyal and Patriotic Citizen of Pennsylva nia would not gladly embrace the privilege'of re cording his name upon this ro:l of honor, and of linking himself directly with the field where the lofty heroism of his countrymen vindicated the integrity of the Union and the principles of Free dom! And who wouldnotdeslretohanddownas - a precious heir-loom to his children the evidence othis part in the good work, bearing, as the certi ficate will, a view of the field which will rank in history with Thermopylae, Mabathon and Wa terloo 1 Philadelphia- There are no salaried officers in this Association, nor are there any objects In Tlew in its creation other than those already stated.

For these diseases it is truly asovereign remedy, and too much cannot be said in its praise. A single dose has been known, to remove the most ur gent symptoms. . f; Are yon. troubled with that distressing pain in the small of the bach and through the hips} A teaspoonful a day of the Constitution Water will relieve you like magic. PHYSICIANS Have long, since given up the use of buchu, cubeba and juniper in the treatment of the diseases, and only use them for the want of a better remedy CONSTITUTION WATER has proved'itself equal to the task that has e volved upon it. DIUEBTICS irritate and drench the' kidneys, and by constant use soon lead to chronic degeneration and confirmed disease. We present the Constitution Water to the public with the conviction that it has no equal in relieving the class of diseases for which it has been found so eminently successful for curing; and we trnst that we -ball be rewarded for onr efforts in placing so valuable a remedy in a form to meet the require ments of patient and physician. IN DYSMENORRHCEA, OR PAINFUL MEN .. STBUATION; AND MENORRHAGIA, Both diseases arising from a faulty secretion of the menstrual fluid—in case of being too little, and accompanied by severe pain, and the other a too profuse secretion, -which will be speedily cured by the Constitution Water. The disease bn own as FALUNOI OF THE WOMB, which is the result of a relaxation of the ligaments of that organ, and is known by a sense of heayibess and dragging pains in .the' back and sides, and at times accompanied by sharp, lanci nating or shooting pains through the parts, will, in ail cases, be cured by this medicine. There is another class of symptoms arising from IRRITATION OF THE WOMB, which physi cians call nervousness, which word covers np much ignorance, and in nine cases ont of ten the doctor does r.otrealiy know whether the symptoms are the disease or the disease the symptoms. We can only enumerate them here. I speak more garticnlarly of Cold Feet, Palpitation of the [eart, Impaired Memory, Wakefulness, Flashes of Heat, Languor, Lassitude and Dimness of Vision. SUPPRESSED MENSTRUATION, Which in the unmarried female is a constantly re curring disease, and through neglect the seeds of mere grave and dangerous maladies are the result; and as month after month passes without an effort being made to assist nature, the suppression be comes chronic, the patient gradually loses her ap petite, the bowels are constipated, night sweats come on, and consumption finally ends her career READ! READ!! READ!!! Danvixle, Pa, June 2; 1E62. Dr Wm. H.. Gregg—Dear Sir: In February, 16S1, I was afflicted with sugar diabetes, and for five months I passed more than two gallons of water in twenty-iour hours. I was obliged to get np as often as ten or twelve times during the night,' andinflTe months I lost about fifty pounds in weight. During the month of July, ISBI, I pro cured two bottles of Constitution Water, and in two days after using it I experienced relief, and. after taking two bottles I was entirely cured; soon after regaining my usual good health. Yours truly, . J. V. L. DEWITT. Boston Cobnebs, N. Y., Dec. 27,1561. Wm. H. Gregg A Oo.—Gents—l freely give you liberty to make use of the following Certificate of the value of Constitution Water, which I can re commend in the highest manner: My wife was attacked, with pain in the shoulders, whoie length of the back, and in her limbs, with Palpitation of tho heart and Irritation of the Bladder. I called a physician, who at tended her three months, when ne. left her worse than he had fonnd her. I then employed one of the best physicians I could find, wno attended her for about nine months, and while she was under ids care she did not suffer quite as much pain. He finally gave her up and said, her case toot in curable. “For,” said be, “sAe Aar. suets a combination of complaints, that medicine given for one operates against seme other of her dijjicalties. ’ * About this time she commenced the use of the Constitution Watbb, and, to out utter astonish ment, almost the first dose seemed to have the de sired effect, and she kept on improving rapidly under its treatment, and now superintends entirely her domestic affairs. She has not taken any of the Constitution Wateb for about four weeks, and we are happy to say that rt has produced a perma nent cure. WM.M. VAN BENSCHOTEN. Wethbbsmeld, Conn., March2,lSB3. Dr. W. H. Gregg—Dear Sir—Having seen yonr advertisement of * ‘ Constitution Water,” recom mended for inflammation of the Kidneys and Irri tation of the Bladder, having suffered for the past three years, and tried the skill of a number of phy siciana with only temporary relief, I was induced to try your medicine.
