Mr. Seward's Correspondence with Brazil.
The correspondence of the Government
-of the United States with that of Brazil,
in relation to the capture of the Florida in
the harbor of Bahia, is before the public.
Mr. Sewakd’b action in this delicate ques
tion has already received national approval,
which the publication of this correspond
ence will increase.
. It is unfortunate that the seizure of the
Florida was in defiance of law. It galled
the American people to yield Mason and
Slidell, and to admit that the Wachusett
had no‘right-to seize the Florida in a Bra
zilian port. But what else could he done ?
In the ca.e of the Alabama, Captain
Winslow’s triumph could not be ques
tioned. But Captain Collins’ commission
was no warrant for his unauthorized pro
cedure in making war in the harbor of a
country with which the United States is at
peace. The claim of Brazil was. just; it
was plainly sustained by international law,
and our own national precedents; in ad
mitting it our Government simply granted
to Brazil the justice it demands from all
other States, and showed to -the World that
it was not willing to establish principles
that it did not itself intend to respect. Mr.
Seward’s correspondence makes very plain
the fact that the United States disavow and
regret the capture of the Florida, solely upon
the ground of its violation of law. His
letter of December 28th is a model docu
ment ; it exhausts the question, it makes
.plain the entire position of this Govern
ment, and while conceding the claim of
Brazil, it affirms the rights of the United
States with an emphasis which cannot fail
to impress the court of the South American
empire with a new sense of responsibility.
The points of his answer to Mr. Bakboza
are as follows:
That the claim of Brazil is admitted ex
clusively because it is just.
That the United States does not admit
or believe the charges made against Cap
tain Collins and the consul at Bahia, ex
cepting so far as they imply violation of
international law.
That as they offended the law of the
United States as much as that of Brazil,
they will he subjected to its penalties.
That Brazil has had no right to assume
that the American rebellion is a lawful bel
ligerent, that its vessels are anything but
pirates, and, therefore, that the United
States expect reparation from Brazil for the
injury it has done them by such assump
tions.
That these positions are not open to
argument.
That the subordinate agents of Brazil
combined with those of the United States
in the attempt to begin unauthorized war.
That the crew of the Florida, being ille
gally captured, will he liberated.
These points cover the whole question.
They leave nothing for Brazil to de
mand, and place the United States in
the honorable position of a great Power
awarding justice to an inferior nation,
while, without making one threat, it re
verses the original situation and demands
justice to itself. Mr. Seward’s action is
rigorously impartial, and Ms correspond
ence is remarkable for the ability with
which it upholds the dignity of the United
States in the very act of making reparation.
Thus ends the Florida affair, honorably and
peacefully; and while everybody, of course,
profoundly deplores the accident which
sunk the Florida at Hampton Roads, the
Brazilian Government must be thoroughly
satisfied with the knowledge that the occur
rence has the investigation of two courts of'
inquiry. "
Tlie Late Mr. Dallas.
Although George Mifflin Dallas had
retired from public life, and was to the ge
neration in which he lived a statesman of
the past, the announcement of his death
will create universal sorrow. Mr. Dallas
was a good man, and, in some respects, a
great man, and he will live in history
among those who have served the nation
with dignity and discharged every trust
■with honor. By the test of present great
ness Mr. Dallas need not be tried. When
the war came, revolutionizing public opin
ion, law, constitutional prerogatives, and
commerce, his work was done. He be
longed to tfife past, and when we looked
upon his magnificent manhood —Ms
tall, stately form, that reminded us of
the palms of Palestine, Ms good, gray head
that all men knew—we saw not only one of
the first gentlemen of Pennsylvania, but a
statesman whose career was a part of his
tory, and whose associations brought to
us the easy, rhetorical, quiet, .prosy, ro
mantic times of peace. Therefore, although
to-day we stand, as it were, over the grave
of this dead man, and see only Ms never
speaMng lip and never-beaming eye, we
feel as though we had opened the page of
history, and were about to speak of one of
that great race of statesmen who went to
their peace before this wild unrest of war.
Mr. Dallas was the' second son of
Alexander J. Dallas, and was horn in
this city July 10, 1792. He received his
collegiate education at Princeton, gra
duating in the year 1810, and then studied
law in Ms father’s office, being admitted
to the bar of Philadelphia in 1813. The
same year he received the appointment of
private secretary to Mr. Gallatin, and
accompanied that gentleman on Ms mis
sion to Russia to negotiate a treaty of
peace with England through the mediation
of the Emperor Alexander. On Ms re
turn to this country in the following year,
he assisted Ms father, for some months, in
his duties as Secretary of the Treasury,.
and then commenced the practice of law in
- tMs city, and was solicitor of the United
States Bank. In 1817 he was appointed
Deputy Attorney General for Philadelphia
county. Taking an active part in politics,
Mr. Dallas was, in 1829, elected Mayor,
and, on the elevation of General Jackson
to the Presidency, in 1829, he was appointed
United States Attorney for this district. He
retained this position till 1831, when he
was elected to the United States Senate,
and took a prominent part in the debates
of that body until the expiration of Ms
term, in 1883, when he declined a re-elec
tion, and returned to the practice of the
law. In 1837 President Van Boren ap
pointed him Minister to Russia, which posi
tion. he retained till October, 1839, when
he was recalled, at his own request,
and he again returned to legal practice.
In May, 1844, the Democratic Convention
at Baltimore nominated Mr. Dallas for
Viee President of the United States, in
connection with James K. Pour for Presi
dent. The Democratic candidates were
elected by an electoral vote of 170 out of
275. The questions of the time were the
tariff and the annexation of Texas, Mr.
Pole's election caused the admission of
Texas to the Union just before the
close of Mr. Tyler’s term of office, and
the subject of the tariff was left for
the new Administration. A bill which
levied duties on imports for the purpose of
revenue only, and abandoning the protec
tive policy, was passed by the .House of
Representatives in 1846, but when it reach
ed the Senate that body was s(T evenly
balanced.upon the question that the deci
sion was left to Mr. Dallas, who gave Ms
casting vote for the hew bill. In giving
Ms vote Mr. Dallas stated that though
the bill was defective, he helived that
“ample proof had been furnished that
a majority of the people of the States
desired a change to a great extent in
principle, if not fundamentally.” His
Vice Presidential term expired in 1849,
he was succeeded by Mr. Fill
more. In 1856 Mr. Dallas succeeded
Mr. Buchanan as Minister to Great Bri
tain and continued in that post until the
appointment of Mr. Adams by President
LINCOLN. Shortly after Ms return to Phi-
he a speech at Ms resi
3eh£eTinwhich” he declared his loyalty to
the Union, and he also wrote a very pa
triotic letter to a meeting held in this city.
Resides, it is well knoffn that he has been
frequently and earnestly pressed to preside
at public meetings of the opponents of the
present Administration, and has always
refused.
Let us cover his tomb with laurels, for
America has had no worthier son. His
life is an example and an illustration. He
rose into, power without envy; he wielded
!it Without partiality; he returned to private
life the beloved friend andrespected neigh
bor. He was a good man. He had courage,
: for although the favored son of Pennsylva
nia, he did what he deemed to be right at
: the risk of being disowned. He was true to
' Ms country and a believer in the war ; but
; not for Mm were blows and strife. He
; looked on, lamenting, perhaps, with Riche
lieu, that he could not wield the sword of
earlier days, but content to look on, even
as the statues of our dead men gaze upon
us from their cold niches, and see the world
pass by them. The men who come after
Mr. Dallas are of a rude and lusty com
position. They tear down and build up—
all the while uprooting and destroying the
pleasant walks of the academy of Clat,'
and Gbundy, and .Benton, and Dallas.
In the busy present, let us not forget the
past, and, above all, let us not refuse the
highest homage that can possibly be paid
to our illustrious townsman—the citizen,
the statesman, the friend—a representative
of the men whom our fathers gladly fol
lowed. And of all this race, none is more
worthy of our emulation and esteem than
the statesman who now goes down to the
grave of Ms fathers.
Latest from Europe.
It has been said that “No news is good
news.” If so, there is good news from
Europe, up to the 15th of this month. The
British Parliament is to commence its ses
sion on Wednesday, the Ist of February.
Of course, Queen Victoria, who is still
nursing her grief—so much to the annoy
ance of her subjects that The Times be
rates her roundly for it, saying that she is
maintained to perform certain duties wMch
she has neglected for the last three years—
of course, then, Victoria will deliver the
speech from the throne by proxy, and not
in person. As usual, it will be delivered
by a Commission of several nobles, of
whom the Lord Chancellor, the lay subject
nearest to Royalty, and hereditary “ Keeper
of the Queen’s conscience,” (absurd as tMs
may read, it is true!) is always head.
Lord Westbuby, the present Chancellor,
is a gentleman of fine presence, and has
unusually good elocution, so that the Minis
terial manifesto will lose nothing when
read by him to the assembled Lords and
Commons.
, Nothing-is known yet of the intended
financial measures of the Government, but
Lord Clarence Paget, Secretary of the
British Navy, in a recent speech to his con
stituents, the electors of Sandwich, took
credit for $10,000,000 having been , taken
off the naval expenditure in 1864, and held
out a hope that there would he further re
trenchment in his department in 1865. He
mentioned that England now possesses,'
built or being constructed, thirty armor
plated ships, each of which cost nearer
$2,500,000 than $1,250,000. He denied
that there was a scarcity of seamen in the
British navy, and especially that there had
been any difficulty in manning the line-of
battle ship Victoria. TMs had been re
ported, but Lord Clarence declared that,
witMn forty-eight hours after her officers
had joined, her full complement of men
was supplied, the only vacancies on
the sMp being for five shipwrights.
England possessed, he said, a naval
force of 75,000 men, in addition to which
there was a naval reserve of 16,000
first-dass, thoroughly drilled, and able sea
men. After the manning of the Victoria,-
a three-decker, there were upwards of A
thousand men available and disposable,
awaiting sMps in British ports, irrespective
of the crews of several ships lately paid off,
of wMch the sailors had gone on leave.
Finally, to justify the expense of getting
up the thirty armor-plated ships—from
$37,500,000 to s7s,ooo,ooo—Lord Cla
rence Paget read quotations from the
Reports of the Secretary of the United
States Navy, in 1862 and 1863, complain
ing of the want of a reserve of ships-of
war and of gradual accumulation of naval
stores in this country. The whole purpose
of Lord Clarence Paget’s speech evi
dently was to convey the impression that
England is well prepared for any contests
at sea, in the event of being compelled, in
duced, or tempted into war. But the pub
lic belief in Europe, and among many
persons in England, is. that her boasted
“wooden walls” being rendered valueless
by the substitution of iron-dads, England
is only indifferently prepared for naval
warfare.
Sir Eobert Peel, CMef Secretary for
Ireland, also made a recent speech to Ms
constituents at Tamworth, in which, al
luding to the fact that the Opposition hare
lately been busily canvassing the counties
and boroughs, on the rumor of a dissolution
of Parliament in the spring, he said:
“ But that passed off, and 1 do not see that
it is more likely that we shall have a disso
lution of Parliament in next March or April
than in this present month of November, and
my impression is, that if the Government
maintain its position in the House of Com
mons, as it has done during the past three
or four years, there will be no dissolution
until the year 1866. Of course, that de
pends upon the wishes of Parliament,-the
majority being in favor of the Government,
and there being no necessity for a dissolution
before the spring of that year.” Some of
our readers may ask, what does it concern
us whether there he a general election in
the United Kingdom in 1865 or in 1866?
We believe that it concerns this country's
great deal. A change of the British Minis
try may lie the result of that General Elec
tion, and whereas the present Government
is ostensibly friendly to us, we might calcu
late, if the Tories came into power, upon a
policy as near hostility as dared be ven
tured upon in the face of public opinion in
England and the Queen’s known predi
lection for the principle of emancipation,
which is the basis of what the North fights
for in the present war. The decision of
the great open-air meeting "of the opera
tives of Manchester, within the last fort
night, that the slaveholding Confederacy
ought not to be acknowledged, shows how
the working classes of England sympathize
with the North in its great struggle.
The news from Continental Europe is
singularly uninteresting; Commercial fail
ures of some importance had occurred in
England and France, and trade is dull.

Washington, January 1.
SMUGGLING ON THE CANADIAN FBONTIBB.
Since tbe‘law passed during a former session of
Congress to prevent smuggling on the Northern and
Eastern frontier went into operation, several seizures
have been made and measures taken by Nathan
Sergrant, the Commissioner or the CJußtoms, alter

more effectually secure the arreßt and punishment
of violators of the revenue laws. The addition of
six steam outters, for whloh an appropriation of
51,000,000 has recently been made, will enable.the
Treasury Department to act more efficiently against
smugglers.

Fortress Monroe, Dec. 30.— Nearly all the
steamers comprising the portion of the expedition
ary fleet under the command of Major Gen. Batter,
which sailed hence several weeks since, hare re
turned In safety, notwithstanding the severe storms
experienced along the coast, and while anohored off
Wilmington, N. C.
The Santiago do Cuba and Fort Jackson have
been the only vessels attached to the naval fleet
which have as yet arrived from off Wilmington, and
the latest advices received from Admiral Porter re
present him as still subjecting Fort Fisher to a
vigorous bombardment.
The Norfolk Regime of to-day contains the follow*
log correspondence, from off Fort Fisher, dated the
27th of December:
“The shore Is strewn with broken boats, mostly
naval, which have been wrecked In one way or an
other. They lie strewn along the beach, from Fort
Fisher to Masonboro Inlet.” ...
“The North Carolina salt works,-at'MSionboro’
weredestroyedby flrelast Saturday. Many of the na
vy vessels have withdrawn from these waters, and
the bombardment may bo said to have eome to an
end.
“In myjast letter It was Insisted that there was,
from some cause, a want of 00-operatlon between the
army and navy. X think that I established that fact,-
but let me say.JSo avoid all mistake, that there were
Individual Instances; and quite a number of them,
where naval officers acted In concert with the army.’’
Two hundred and fifty of the North Carolina re.
serves, captured by Major General Butler In the
vicinity of Fort Fisher, disembarked from tke
steamer Baltic yesterday afternoon, on route for
Folnt Lookout, Maryland.
-The condition of these prisoners Is exceedingly
wretched, many of them being without blankets or
overcoats, and In some cases they wore shoeless.
Two. thirds of the number apparently had not yet
reached the age of twenty-one, while the remaining
third of them ranged between the agoß of twelve and
sixteen years.
REBEL REPORTS—THE FEDERAL FLEET SAID TO

BOMBARDMENT.
New Tore, Jan. I.—A rebel despatch from Wil
mington, North Carolina, on the 23th ult,, says :
“The Federal fleet has disappeared, and only the
usual blookaders remain.
“ Bragg reports that with his present means and
disposition of his foroes no danger need he appre
hended. Had reinforcements arrived sooner, we
might have captured many prisoners. The enemy
drew up In a seml-elrole and poured a oentrio flro
into Fort Fisher, destroying every house and
ploughing up the ground. There was another heavy
gale last night.”

IS GOING TO ASTONISH THIS WORLD.
Washington, "Jan* I,— An army letter says: On
the 27th ult. several shells were thrown by the
enemy from batteries in an entirely new position.
No damage resulted to our troops. Picket firing is
still maintained at intervals at several localities
along the front, bnt was not so general as a few
days previous. Desertions from the rebels continue
lzTabout the same proportion as for some ten days
past. Twelve deserters were reported at headquar
ters on the 27th. A rebel spy was recently captured
Dear City Point, upon whose person elaborate drawl
Inga and descriptive sketches of our defences In this
locality were found. It Is stated that, when taken,
he was on his way to City Point to complete his
mission by examining the Inner line of works at that
place.
Passengers who left City Point on Friday report
that picket-firing Is still going on at the front.
. Within the past two days l?o deserters have come
Into onr lines, among them fire North Carolina con
scripts, one of whom says that four or five days ago
a division of Early’s command was in Richmond,
preparing to move southwest.
Rebel deserters recently reported that the autho
rities at Richmond were discussing and maturing
a movement which would'astonish the world. This
effect would doubtless be produced If the following
from the Alexandria (Ya.) Journal is worthy of
credit In connection with that subject, namely;
“We learn from persons who seem to have been
Informed In regard to the secrets of the Secession
leaders that a plan was seriously dlsoussed by the
rebel authorities for the sudden massing of all their
available force In Virginia In the event of their
affairs becoming desperate, and marching Into the
Northern States with the determination to conquer
a peace or die in the attempt,”

that four of the St. Albans raiders h£ve been caught
at that camp. ;
On Friday, the 28d Inst., a detachment of recruits
arrived from Windsor, Torment, In which were four
men evidently Southerners and of good appearance.
Two of them, boob after their arrival, displayed a
great deal of St. Albans money, and'desired to
know if the St. Albans banks were redeeming their
bills, and wanted to exchange them for other money.
They also showed hills on Georgia and South Caro
lina banks, and a quantity or Canadian silver. They
olaimed to belong tb Canada, and sent away money
from the camp under different names from those
under which they had enlisted, They also said that
they came down from Canada with those same St-
Albans raiders who went to Concord and enlisted
and were oaught; that they came with them to
White-river Junction, where they parted company,
their companions going to Concord to enlist, and
they coining on to Windsor for the same purpose. •

money, and Capt. Bice has also had
these two placed In confinement. The first two ar
reßted have appeared extremely anxious to hare an

Warren combination to t£e city Is a matte?of sin
cere congratulation to all lovers of good comedy,
for this company Is the best quartette of artists that
has visited our city for years. Mr. WM»fi«lbgu»
of the finest and most humorous comedlans upra
the stage, and attains hlslsuocesses hy legitimate
means. Miss Josie Orton, the leading lady of. the
troupe, is a perrormer of great taste, modesty, and
versatility, and during her-previous visit portrayed
some of the most difficult parts In the range of co
medy with a polish'and humor not easily equalled.
Miss Mestayer, too, Is a very deserving aßWess, and
plays with considerable correctness and’spirit. ‘Mr; '
Barron generally speaks with too great rapidity.
He generally affords a good support to the other
members of the oompany. The Warren jsomblnaj
tlos will remain with us but two wbeks, a time far
much shorter than we could wish. The fine come
dy of “ The Heir-at-Law ” will he given tonight.
Dr. Par gloss is one of Mr. Warren’s best pans, and
the play should attract a full house.
Arch-street Theatre.—This is the last week
of Mr. Clarke’s engagement—the only melancholy
fact which suggests itself in reading the.fillls which
announce Ms matchless performances. Of the six
nights that remain we mußt'make the most. Mr-
Clarke’s season has been long and brilliant; the
houses have been immense, and worthy of; the rare
fun ef Ms comedy. The feature of the week will
be the production of Toadies—a. character wMoh
Mr, Clarke has made Ms own, and wMch con
vulsed with laughter New York week after week
this fall. It is said that Mr. Clarke has greatly
Improved the performance since he played It in thlfc
city. Toodles and De Boots would be a great bill,
wbleh we hope will be presented. To-night the
“American Cousin” will be repeated. .
Miss Lucillb Western will present -“East
Lynne” as a matinee at the Academy or Musis on ’
Saturday afternoon. An advertisement-gives the
particulars of the entertainment, wMoh will gratify
thousands of persons. The Academy Is likely to be ‘
thronged, for “East Lynne,” though so ’Often
played, retains its remarkable popularity.
The National Circus.—Thoro will be an extras
performance at the Circus this afternoon. During -
the present week there will’ be several new artists
Introduced.' They are said to be very superior per
formers. M’Ue Ellze, a youngand graoefal eques
trienne, will make her first appearance this evening,
in a beautiful act of horsemanship. Mrs. Warner
has succeeded In elevating the character of the
Circus to a Mgh standard. ■
Signor Blitz gives a grand New Year festival
to-day. He announces three performances—morn
ing, afternoon, and evening—at eaoh of wMoh he
is sure to entertain and astonish Ms audiences. The
Signor Is an unfailing spring of mirth and mystery.
The Richmond correspondent of the London
Timet writes:
“ I am happy to report that Gen. Longstreet Is
at present quite free from the nervous sensibility in
his right arm from wMch for some time he suffered.
The nerves'-ol motion are still entirely paralyzed,
and the arm Is almost useless, but he 1b able slight
ly to move the fingers, and It Is the opinion of army
surgeons that he will regain plenary use of It In
from eighteen months to two years, when the nervous
tissue shall have had time to repair Itself. His ge
neral health and spirits are excellent, and Ms confi
dence In the ability of hls soldiers to hold the Con
federate lines, ana to keep the enemy ont of Rich
mond for an unllmlted_j>eriod, la unabated. It is a
strong testimony to Gen. Longstreet’s value as a
soldier that eaoh of the three great oaptains of Se
cessia—Lee, Beauregard, and Johnston—esteems
him equally, and desires hls presence by his side.
Upon the 18th inst. Beauregard telegraphed from
Jacksonville, in Alabama, soliciting Longatrcot’s
company-in the WOBt, hut it was determined that
he could: not he Bparea from Ms old army corps be
fore Richmond.”
We learn that, at a meeting of the New York-
Leader Association, Mr. S. B. Flßke, one of the
editors ef the New York Herald, was elected to the
responsible post of controlling editor of the former
paper. Thereupon, it Is said that Mr. Henry Clapp,
-Jr., who has managed .that paper admirably since
the death of Mr. Cianoy, has resigned his connec
tion with the establishment.
The London Timbs oh the Floriua Gasb.—
Granted that It was a Yankee trick of no very le
gitimate kind to make specific peribrmance of an
international duty Impossible by destroying the pro
perty in dispute, what are we to say of the proceed
ings to which the Florida- owed her existence i If
her capture was a lawless violation of neutrality,
what was her equipment flf underhand means were
employed to get rid of her, what sort of means were
employed to prooure her! Far be it from us to
justify or palliate one immoral aet by another; but
the question here turns, not on the morality of those
who contrived the “accident,’* but on the claim of
those -who suffered by It to our sympathy. , .

Px’raox.Btric as Stbam Fo\b:l.—A. Mr, Benjamin
H. Paul, in a communication to the London Timet,
dated December 12, says:
.The account given In the Timet or this morning:
of experiments being made at Woolwich Dockyard
In relation to the use of petroleum as steam fuel for
fimjpSj gfcows that the erroneous opinions formed as
to Jk® practicability of substituting petroleum for
©cal as fuel in steam vessels have not been ab&n*
doned.
Bl ®nder consideration of the character,
< composition, and cost of petroleum would be suffi
cient to show the impracticability of using it as fuel
in such a case.
~T | l 6 tearing power of petroleum is certainty
higher than that of coal, equal 16:1. But the price
of petroleum varies from £l5 to £lO per ton. Its
bulk In relation to coal to as l :1.18, for quantities of
equal heating power.
Now, sir, these facts will, I believe; he sufficient
to convinee any one of the Impracticability of using
petroleum as a substitute for coal In steam vessels,
i quite Independently of any contrivance as to the
mode of burning.
I have no knowledge of the plan referred to in the
notice which appears in the Times of this morning,
but the statement it oontalns that' “the oil was
utilised so as to he equal for steam.purposes to five
tons of Goals’’ Is so startling, and Is so calonlatod to
create an erroneous Impression, when idren under
the sanction of the-Times, that I take the liberty of
submitting to you the facts above stated lor your
own consideration; and, as the subject has now ac
quired public Importance from Its being under the
notice of the Government authorities, I beg to re
quest that you will Insert this letter in your columns

Stokbsiana.—
BY A YELLOW (NOT LONG).
The shades of night were falling fast,
As a “ one-hoss shay” went driving past,
WMch bore aloft a youth so nice,
Ferched on a hook with this device,
Stokesianai
Hls brow was gay, Ms noße beneath
Bloomed like a rose between Ms teeth,
And as Ms cab-wheels rattled on
The book shone out with the name upon,
Stokeslana 1
In driving on (Ms head was light),
A provo’ marshal caught his sight,
WMle gathered ronnd were well-dressed folks,
And he let “ drive” Ms poorest joke,
Stokeßlana!
“ TrV not that dodge,” the Provo’ said,
“ Craok jokes at me. I’ll crack your head;
Halt! What’B that thing you sit astride!”
The youth, with trembling fear, replied—
“Stokeslana!”
“ O stay! hold up I” cries the rest, -
“ When we want jokes we ‘ Get the best”
He slacked Ms steed, and, drawing nigh, -
Showed them a page of jokes most dry,
Stokesianai
“Beware the station-house, my lad!,
Beware such jokes—they are too sad
This was the Provo’s last “beware.”
The youth replied, with stupid stare,
“Stokeslana!”
Next morning, in the starlight gray,
, ' Beside an « S.—T. (X)” he lay;
£ His “ shay” was smashed, Ms horse they stold,
And he is “left out in the cold.”

troubled with bad breath, and, through over-squea

“A Disease all Over.”—So consumption was
once pithily defined by; the celebrated Dr. Rush,
meaning thereby that this dreaded complaint
caused a depraved state of the whole system. In
deed, there are well established oases where persons
have lived to old age with but a portion of their
lungs in healthful operation, death supervening at
last from the effects of their condition on, the whole
system, and yet this disease, so formidable in its
character, bo far-reaching In its effects, so general
ly fatal when once established, Is easily controlled
and maybe thorougMy eradicated la its first stages.
In a variable climate like ours Coughs and Colds
are commonly the exciting- causes of Diseases of
the Lungs, and these should be removed at once. In
many Instances persons are bom with- unsound or
tuberculous lungs, and in such cases the most con
stant care and watchfulness Is required to rid the
organs of the taint; but a prompt resort to the Ex.
peetorant of Dr. D. Jayne, ho matter whether the
disease is constitutional, or whether It has been en
gendered by severa colds or exposure, will be found
salutary and effectual; and, If any proof of the cu
rative powers of this medicine is wanted, it ban
readily be found In the testimony of those who have
been saved from Consumption and Pulmonary
Complaints by Its use, and whose evidence Is expli
citly given in the annual publications of the pro
prietors. Act rationally, therefore, on the first
symptoms, and by a prompt recourse to a remedy
so well established esoape the wretched sufferings
of the consumptive. Prepared only at- No, 242
