The Treachery of Secession.
Heretofore the Southern States have contem
plated secession as an act to be accomplished
by the united South, and not by a single State.
(Jo—operation was the motto of even the seces~
sionists of 'South Carolina, .who could not fail
to see that union among the Southern States
was not only necessary to a successful revolu
tion, but demanded by an honorable regard for
the Welfare of those whose institutions, inter—
ests and perils were identical. But new South
Carolina appears determined to disregard the
wishes of her sister States, sufi'ering under like
grievances with herself, and to compel them
either to follow her reckless lead, or to remain
in the Union shorn of that power of self-pro
tection which a united .Soth would afi'ord in
the Federal Government. '
The desertion by South Carolina in the hour
of greatest peril, involves the treble crime of
treason to the General Government, treachery to
the Southern States, and ingratitude to the
conservatives of the North who have defended
the South in all her just rights, at the expense
of repeated defeats—almost annihilation.
We will not pause to discuss the question of
the right of a sovereign State to secede from
the Union, or to examine the difference between
nullification and secession. Both are alike
' revolutionary and subversive of the Govern
ment. If we admit that a State has the power
to resort to either remedy against real or fan
cied oppression, we admit the right of a single
State to destroy the Union—a contingency not
contemplated by the framers of the Govern
ment. Either secession or nullification is
revolution, to which any people may appeal if
they think proper, and in which they may sue
ceed if they have the power; but revolution is
a right not conferred by any system of govern
ment, and can only be successful by overthrow
ing the government.
But look at the existing state of affairs and
the position in which the loyal Southern States
would be placed by the secession of the cotton
States. The National Leuislatm‘e.wiu “v in
wetlands of the rrxends of the South for at
least two years from the 4th of March next,
which power, if properly used, will efiectually
protect the rights of the South from any at
tempts of the Northern Abolitionists to impair
them. From present indications most of the
Southern States are willing to rest upon this
majority in Congress for the security of their
interests. But let South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi secede from the Union
andwit-hdraw‘flieir representativesin Congress,
and by that not they throw the power of the
Government entirely into the hands of the Be
publicans, to be wielded, if they think proper,
to the injury of the loyal Southern States re
maining in the Union. The secessionists calcu
latethat this will compel such States as Virginia,
Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennes
see, Louisiana and Texas to join the Southern
Confederacy. They hope to coerce these mod
erate States into extreme measures by basely
deserting them in the hour of greatest peril,
and thus exposing them .to the assault of the
Northern sectionalists. Well do these seces
sionists know that if they pause in their mad
career to conSult the wishes of the whole South
that there will be no attempt at disunion; but
by precipitate action they expect to place the
conservative States between two fires, and to
coerce them into extreme measures. Hence
the abandonment at this crisis of the doctrine
of co-operation, which has heretofore been
held as the only safety of the South.
Not only would secession by two or three
extreme Southern States be treachery to the
South, but it would also involve infidelity to
the conservative minority of the North, which
has, for a series of years, been fighting for the
rights of the South within the Union. And
this desertion would be doubly aggravated at
stime when, by the greatest labor and sacrifice,
the national men of the North have succeeded
in electing enough members of Congress to
control that body against the projects of the
ultra wing of the Republican party.
The Northern Democracy will continue to
struggle against the fanaticism of the Republi
can leaders, and continue to maintain the rights
of the South under the Constitution; but they
will never countenance any State in secession
without some flagrant outrage upon its rights_
or encourage such State in a base and mm“-
ranted desertiou of its allies at a time when its
assistance is necessaay to maintain the rights
of the loyal and Union-loving South.
We have great confidence in the restraining
power of the conservative Southern States to
discourage and suppress the project of South
Carolina. to coerce them into disunion. Their
influence should be directed against this move
ment; and when the cotton States find that
they must stand alone if they attempt disunion,
they may discover that their safety depends
upon co-operation. But, in order that the
conservative States of the South may feel secure
in' directing their influence against the seces
sionists, they should receive some guarantee
that the North will stand by and protect them,
and not, by an aggresssive policy, force them
to choose the alternative of siding with the
cotton States or submittingto aggressive legis
lation. This is what the secessionists hope for,
and if the North is wise it will not play into
their hands.

FROM BRADFORD 6'o UNIT;
Correspondence of the Patriot and Union
TOWANDA, November 12, 1860.
DEAR PATRIOT :—The Abolitionists here any that
they only exFooted Lincoln to keep slavery out of
the Territories, and that when they have accom
plished that they intend, in the next cnmpaign, to
drive it Out of the States. The conservative wing
of the Republicans say that. after Lincoln’s inau—
guration we will hear no more about niggers. I
would rather see it than hear of it. I think they
are alarmed at the belligerent indications in the
South, and knowing that Lincoln’s official nomi—
nees must pass the ordeal of a. Democratic Senate,
they are paving the way for a peacefel seizure of
the loaves and fishes. Your’s irnly, P.
KILLED ny TELEGBAI‘H.——The telegraph
makes curious and serious mistakes now and
then. AbOut a week ago George Browne, Esq.,
President of the Bufi'alo and Lake Huron
Railway, Whose place of residence is in Gode
rich, had occasion to visit Toronto on business,
and took up his abode at Ellah’s Hotel. On
the afternoon of the clay of his arrival he was
taken ill, and a teldgmm was sent to Mrs.
Browne, summoning her to Toronto. Of course
she losfno time in making arrangements, and
reached this city by the first train on the fol
;lowing morning. Finding that her husband
was not seriously indisposed, or at least that
; there was no immediate danger, she caused his
‘ nephew to telegraph to that effect to Goderich,
. in order to allay the anxiety of the members
of the family she had left behind. The nephew
‘ proceeded to the telegraph oflice and penned
‘ the following despatch, which he handed to the
‘ clerk :' "Mr. Browne is no worse—Mrs. Browne
i will write to-night.” The slip was sent up
‘ stairs and the despatch transmitted over the
wires. When it reached the Goderich oflice,
however, a slight change had been made in it.
3' Whether from the illegible writing or the mis
} take of the operator cannot be distinctly ascer
‘ tained, but, at any rate, the message sent to
the family read as follows : “Mr. Browne is no
more; Mrs. Browne will write 10-night.” As
may be imagined, the family were thrown into
the greatest grief on the receipt of the melan
choly intelligence. The news was soon known
allover Goderich, and the people were greatly
grieved at the unexpected demise of one whom
they all loved and respected. Mr. R. S. Carter, ,
the Manager of the Bulfalo and Lake Huron i
Railway, visited the _house of mourning and }
signified his intention of proceeding to Toronto ‘
with a special train to bring home the remains
of his lamented chief. The train was got ready
Without delay, and Mr. Carter and Mr.
Browne’s eldest son came to this city as pos
sengers on it. When it reached Queen’s wharf
station, the grief-stricken passengers entered
one of the Great Western trains and were soon
at Ellah’s Hotel. Their pleasure and aston
ishment may be imagined when they entered
the public parlor and found Mr. Browne sitting,
talking and laughing with some other gentle
men aud enjoying good health, having recov
ered from his indisposition. Mutual explana
tions took place, and all parties were overjoyed
_to find that the gentleman had only been
“killed by telegraph.”——Toronta Globe.
IMPORTANT LAND Solr IN Mlcmoax.-——The
Detroit Free Press states that an important suit
involving the title to a large amount of pro
perty, is to come before the United States Dis
trict Court in Detroit, at. the next term. The
case rises from one of the old French grants,
upon which Congress has made an appropria
tion, and includes the cession of between fifty
and ahundred thousand acres of land lying on
the Michigan side of Saut St. Marie, a. tract
which contains the Saul; Canal, the village of
St. Marie, the Saut Railroad, and numerous
improvements in the way of farming, building,
Sic. The tract extends sixteen miles on tho
Rant river, and the same distance westward.
The grant was made during the reign of Louis
‘ XIV., when the country was in the possession
1 of the French, in favor of the Chevalier de Re
pentigny. The descendants of this nobleman
have laid claim to the property. and, after long
continued efl‘orts, have succeeded in inducing
Congress to recognize their right by a special
act, which authorizes the appointment of a com
mission to arbitrate on the value of the entire
tract, including improvements; the aggregate
value decreed by these commissioners to be
awarded to the grantees in government lands
elsewhere located. The value of the tract is
something fabulous, as the public works and
private improvements have enhanced it im
mensely. It is the design of government to
interfere with none of the rights of citizens
residing or owning property in the district,
but to quietly assess the present value, and re
munerate the grantees by the appropriation of
unencumbered lands. This arrangement was
efi‘ected by compromise.
The case is to be brought before the United
States Court for aconfirmation of the title deeds,
and other necessary legal formula. The gran
tee, Monsieur Favangey, a French gentleman,
resides at Guadeloupe, West Indies, is at pre
sent in the city superintending the case. Sen
ator Benjamin, of Louisiana, is his counsel, and
will arrive from New Orleans during the pre~
sent month to take charge of the suit.
SPONTANEOUS Comnusrmn—Spirituahkm in a
New Phase—The wonderful feats of table 'tip
ping without hand are likely to be surpassed
by new atmospheric phenomena, if the follow
ing incident, told by 'a late number of the
Taylor Falls (Wisconsin) Reporter, and authen
ticated by many witnesses, is really reliable:
On Tuesday, while Mr. Corey and his two
sons were at work in a field near his house.
their attention was arrested by smoke, which
appeared to rise from his stable. They hurried
to the barn as quickly as possible, and discov
ered a pile of straw on fire. This was immedi
ately extinguished, and, as they were returning
to the field, the stable caught in different
places, which, by considerable exertion, was
put out. Before, however. they had left the
premises, another fire was discovered under
neath the granary in a. pile of boards. The
bottom board was burnt nearly through, but
the others were not even scorched. After this
was put out Mr. Corey sent one of the boys
into the house to ascertain if all was safe there.
He immediately came out and told his father
that the house was on fire. Mr. Corey imme
diately ran up stairs, where he found some
clothes that his wife had laid away the day
before, burning. They were thrown out of the
window, and from that time until late at mid
night the fire broke out all over the house-
First, a paper would catch, then the musquito
bar, then a straw bed, &c., and it was only by
the utmost exertions of Mr. Corey, aided by the
two gentleman, Messrs. Hale and Tradewell,
that the building was saved. The fire contin—
ued to break out at intervals for several days,
and attracted many visitors. We shall not
attW'PHO give any cause for this wonderful
freak of nature, but will leave the question to
be solved by some of our philosophers. These
facts, 88 we learn them from an eye-witness,
are true; and if any one can 801ve that mys
tery, we Shall be glad to hear from them. j
AnMAaElmox AT HAE;:f}fieverend Mr.
Baxter, an English divine, lectured in Wash

The lecturer thought that Louis Napoleon was
the great Anti-Christ spoken of in the Bible;
that he, in company with the Emperor of Russia.
'was to make war upon Jerusalem ; that this
was to terminate in the battle of Armageddon,
in which all the wicked would be destroyed;
and then would come the millennium.

A Few Onsnnvigrions 0N STORM!.-—The de
luge which visited this part of the country on
Saturday, will, perhaps, justify us in making
a few observations on the subject of storms, in
spite of the difliculty in getting a large portion
of our readers to think on any subject except
politics. We begin:
1. The Atlantic ocean is the source of nearly
all the rains which visit this part of the coun
try. The moisture collected from the great
lakes is small in quantity, travels but a short
distance, and usually falls to the northward of
this paralled. The Gulf of Mexico sheds its
vapors in the great Western valley. From the
Northern ocean and the rivers flowing into it
hardly any moisture is evaporated.
2. The heated air ascending from the surface
of the Atlantic, especially from the gulf stream,
is wafted over the land by winds which usually
blow at a right angle to the general coast line.
During nearly the whole of last week such a
breeze blew from the southeast. It was hot,
damp, and felt. oppressive on account of the
quantity _of moisture it contained.
3. No rain storms are experienced, or even
heavy showers, after the Wind has been blow
ing steadily from the northeast, this being a
dry current, and absorbing instead of giving
out moisture.
4. After 1101: days during the summer season,
the sea breeze usually sets in towards evening.
0n reaching the mountains this current comes
in contact with a cooler one from the opposite
direction, when there is apt to be a thunder
shower, followed by the ordinary northwester.
The storm occurs along the line of collision
between those opposing currents, and of course,
travels in the direction of the ocean.
5. When a southeaster has prevailed for a
time at any season, it is reasonable to expect a
corresponding heavy rain, as the clouds have
a greater quantity of moisture to deposit. At
the same time the coolness which succeeds will
usually be in about the same ratio, the wet
surface of the ground absorbing much of the
caloric in the lower atmosphere.
6. The northeast storm is probably in every
case caused by one of those circular storms,
termed cyeloncs, whose centre is some distance
to the eastward. In such a. case the storm
travels from southwest to northeast, or in the
contrary direction to that in which we feel the
breeze blowing. If accurate observations were
made as to the changes in the wind, the centre
of the tempest might be calculated with tolera
ble accuracy. In proportion to the length of
time, and the strength and coldness'of current,
the storm will probably be more or less severe.
A correspondent, who has long made this sub
ject a study, remarks that the northeasters are
seldom experienced west of the Alleghenies.
T. It is remarkable that on this side of those
mountains storms scarcely ever blow from any
of the cardinal points of the compass. Any
exceptions are believed to be only cases where
the wind is turning, or rather when persons
are entering into or passing out of the track of
the tempest. -
Theseobservations might be multiplied to a
great extent; but probably comprise the most
important faults in relation to the storms which
are experienced in this part of the country.—
To those who are not. familiar with the subject,
they will serve to explain, in part, the more
immediate cause of those phenomena—N. Y.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH
From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.
The city is quiet, today. The absence ot‘news
from the South is the cause. It is the general
opinion that there will be no actual secesaion,
although there will be great trouble before
things are settled. At the Cabinet meeting
yesterday the question of secession was dis
cussed; but», so far, nothing of any importance
has been done.
Governor Corwin authorizes a. denial of the
sensation dispatches purporting to represent
that he is Lincoln’s exponent, and that he has,
in any way, given publicity to the views of the
President elect, even if he were acquainted with
them. He says that he is not responsible for
Lincoln’s sentiments, and thinks, in common
with others, that it would be exceedingly impo
litie for Lincoln to make any public exposition
of his views before the vote of the Electoral
College is cast.
He has no earthly doubt but that Mr. Lincoln
will fulfill his oath to the letter to support the
Constitution, and that there is, therefore, no
need of this useless speculation in regard to his
policy, especially so far as it makes him the
herald of Mr. Lincoln’s views. It is perfectly
safe to say that Mr. Lincoln has not indicated
his views to any one. .
Mr. Lincoln and the Crisis
Mr. Lincoln in conversation with some
friends yesterday, while deeply regretting the
excitement that pdevailed at the South, did
not, at. the same time, deem it expedient that
he should say anything publicly upon the sub
ject. Whenever alluded to regarding his posi
tion, he invariably refers to his former Writings
and speeches, and from them to the platform of
the party which elected him—a. combination,
he thinks, suflicient for all purposes. With
reference to the exasperated feeling and ex
citement itself, he thinks it will be of short
duration, and that the better judgment of the
people will soon resume its sway.

GENERAL NEWS.
THE ancn or WALES ATTENDING A Pnnsny-
TE‘BIAN CHURCH-—The Prince of Wales (or, we
should rather say, the noble suite who directed
his movements.) has the liberal spirit of his
Royal mother, who regularly attends the Pres
byterian church when in Scotland, much to
the annoyance of the High Church-of-England
people in her dominions. The young Prince,
while in Illinois, chanced to spend the Sabbath
at Dwight, and, with his suite, attended the
Presbyterian church of that place. No com
motion Was produced by it, and no change made
in the exercises. The pastor of the church,
Rev. I’. D. Young, preached a plain gospel
sermon. making no personal allusion to his
distinguished hearers, doubtless regarding this
as one of the places where the rich and the
poor, the high and the low, should meet to
gether on common ground, and as having a
common standing in the sight of God. On
Monday morning the Prince sent a donation of
$4O to the pester, with a. request that it might
be expended 1n completing the church building,
which was 1n an unfinished state—N. I'. ob~

A Cmmnnx Ilene Ix run U. S. Anna—On
Monday, one hundred and twenty recruits for
the Mounted Service,'five buglers and three
laundresses, left Carlisle Barracks en route for
Texas, under command of Lieut. Gerrard,
Second Cavalry. Lieuts. Chamberliss, Burt
well, Bowman and Sweet, all of Second Cavalry,
accompanied the detachment. These men are
to make the trip overland from Fort Leaven
worth, having in charge about one hundred
and fifty horses. One of the privates in this
detachment. is an intelligent Scotehman, named
Auchinloss, who was in the British army during
the Crimean war, and Wears a large silver
medal for gallanty at Balaklava, Inkermann
and Sebastopol. Another detachment will
leave this post for California about the 2lst.
TALENTS Wonrnr or A HIGHER Usn.—The
house of Mr. Charles Merriam, No. 50 Bowdoin
street, Boston, was entered by a burglar, on
Saturday night. who stole a lot of silver spoons,
forks, etc., two gold watches and $6O in money.
The burglar entered Mr. M.’s bedroom, where
there was a large dog, took his pants, carried
them down stairs and rifled the pockets. The
dog is supposed to have been asleep under the
bed at the time, and the stealthy movements
did not arouse him. The burglar also entered
the rooms where Mr. Merrinm’s sons were
asleepand stole two gold watches. He also
carried of all the good silver ware he could
find in the closets. Plated were he rejected,
after ascertaining its character, by breaking it
up.
HARRY Lonnqeuen 1x hexane—Mr. Charles
Lever and his daughter were upset in a heavy
squall, on the 11th of October, in the Gulf of
Spezzie. A heavy sea. was running at ihetime,
and the boat, filling, went. down immediately.
Being good swimmers, they succeeded in reach
ing some water barrels that had floated from
the boat as she settled down, and, supported by
these, they held on till they were picked up.—
The distance from the shore—about two miles
—made swimming somewhat hazardous, par
ticularly as the sea. was so rough. Miss. Le
ver’s danger was increased by her successful
efforts to save a. favorite dog, which wouldhave
inevitably been drowned if unaided.
I’osruvnous Revnmrroxs or A Bruce-m.—
An English burglar died in Meredith village,
N. H., a few days since, possessed of consid
erable wealth. He had lived for many years a
life of strict propriety, much respected by his
neighbors and friends, and had reared a large
family. He left a. manuscript in cipher, which
proved to be a record of his misdeeds. In this
will 'he bequeathed $BOO to a. man he once
robbed in Quebec, and two grand-sons of the
individual have been found there—he having
long since deceased.
lhor AT Sumatran—on the night of the Bth
instant, a. mob at Syracuse attacked and gutted
the El Dorado House, and destroyed all the
furniture and other bar-room fixtures. The
house of Eliza Appleton shared a similar fate.
Both houses are alleged to have been disrepu
eable places, in one of which a young man had
been shot and killed.
A Goon ONE—The Cleveland Plaimlcaler tells
a good one on the Duke of Newcastle. While
stopping at the Burnet House, he occupied a.
room lettered “L,” and finding it locked one
time on his return from a stroll through the
city, he astonished the clerk in attendance by
inquiring for “the key to hell.” Here is where
the laugh comes in.
AUTUMN LEAVES as AN Onxamrxr.—The wife
of one of our Ministers at the Court of St.
James, received from a friend abox of the foli
age of our October woods, and, laying aside
pearls from the ocean, and gems from the

“ my lady,” and all the high-born dames.
AN Uswoxr Assassin—A Polish acrobat,
named Neimzock, who, with his two sons, was
lately performing astonishing feats of strength

In: Amnmmnox on humane—There is agmwing
tendency in this age to appropriate the most expressive
words of other languagen, and after a. while to incorporate
them into our own; thus the word Cephalic, which is
from the Greek, signifying “for the head,” is now becom.
ing popularized in connection with Mr. Spalding’s great,
Headache remedy. but it will soon he used in a more gen—
eral way, and the word Cephalia will become as common
as Electmtype and many othezs whose distinction as for
eign words has been worn away by common usage until
they seem “native and to ma manor born.”
’ardly Realized
Hi ’ad ’1: 7cr‘iible ’eadache this haftemoon, hand I stepped
into the hapothecaries hand says hi to the man, “Can you
hease me of m ’eadache 3’” “Does it hache ’azd,” says
’e. “Hexcfedingly,” says hi, hand upon that =9 gave me
a. Cephalm Pill, ham! ’fon me ’onu‘ it cured me so quick
that I ’a rdly realized 1 ’ad ’ud an ’endache.
iU‘HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which nature
makes known ‘3”? deflation whatever from the natural
state of the brain, and viewed in this light it maybe looked
on as a saleguard intended (a give notice of disease which
might ( themisc escape attention, till too late to be reme
died; and its indications should neverbe neglect‘d. Head
aches may be classified under two names, viz : Symptoma
tic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly
common and is the precursor of a great variety of diseases,
among which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all
febrile diseases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
disease of the stomach constituting sick headache, of he~
patio disease constithting bilious‘lzeadachz, of worms,
constipation and other disorders of the bowels, as well as
renal and uterine allec‘lions. Diseases of the heart are very
frequently attended with Headaches; A: :emia and plethora
are also afl‘ections which frequently occasion headache.—
Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually
distinguished by the name of non-ous headache, sometimes
coming on suddenly in a, State of apparently sound health
and prostrstmg at once the mental and physical energies,
and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by de
pression of spirits or acerbilyof temper. In most instnn
use the pain is in the from of the head, ever one or both
eyes, and sometimes provckirg vomiting ; under this class
may also be named Neuralgm.
For the treatment of either class of Headache the Ge
phalic Pills have been found a sure and safe remedy, relie
ving the most acute pains in a few minutes, and by its subtle
power eradicating the diseases of which Headache is the
unerring index.
BRlDGET.—lliflslls wants you to send her a box of Cep—
halic Glue, no, a home of Prepared Pills—but I’m think—
ing that’s not just it naither ; but perhaps yr’ll be alther
knowing what it is. Ye see she’s nigh dead and gcne with
the Sick Headache, and wants some more of that same as
relaived her before.
Druggist —-Yod must mean Spalding’s Cephalic Pills.
Bridget—Och ! sure now and you’ve sed it.here’a the
quarther and giv me the Bills and dont be all day about it
aithez.
Constipation or Costiveness.
No one or the'“manv ills flesh is heir to” is so prevalent,
so little understood; and so much neglected as Castiveness.
Often originating in carelessness or sedentary habits ; it is
regarded as a slight disorder of too little consequence to
excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and
companion of many oF the most fatal and dangerous dis
eases, and unless early eradicated it will bring the sufferer
to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which
costivenoss is the usual attendant are Headache, Colic,
Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Piles and others ofl he nature.
while a. lung train of fr’ghtl‘ul diseases such as Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, Disentery, Diarrhoea. Dyspepsia, Apo
plexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Hypochondrissis,
Melancholy and Insanity, first indicate their presence in
the system by this alarming symptom. Not un requently
the diseases named originate in Constipation, but take on
an independent existence unless the cause is eradicated in
an early stage. From all these considerations it. follows
that the disorder should receive immediate attention when
ever it occurs, and no person should neglect to get a. box
of Cephalic Pills on the first appearance of the complaint,
as their timely use will expel the insidious approaches of
disease and destroy this dangerous foe to human life.
A Real Blessing.
Physician—Well, Mrn. Jones, how is that headache T
Mrs. Jones—Gone ! Doctor. all gone! the pill you sent
cured me in just twenty minutes, and I wish 30:: would
send more so that I can have them handy.
Physician.—You can get them at any Draggists. Call
for Cephalic Pills, I find they never fail, and I recommend
them in all cases of Headache‘
Mrs. Jones —I shall send for a box directly, and shall
tell all my aufi'ering friends, for they are a real Messing.
Twsxrv Mmuoxs 0F DOLLARS SAven.—Mr. Spalding
has sold two millions of bottles of his celebrated Prepared
Glue and it is estimated that each bottle saves at leastten
dollars worth of broken furniture, thus making an aggre—
gate of twenty millions or dollars reclaimed from tmel loss
by this valuable invention. Having made his Glue a
household word, lie now proposes to do the world still
greater service by caring all the aching heads with his
Cephalic Pills‘ and if they are as good as his Glue, Head
aches will soon vanish away like now in July.
Faves sxomsnnsr, and the mental care and anxiety
incident to the close attention to business or study, are
among the numerous causes of Nervous Headache. The
disordered slate of mind and body incident to thisdirtress
ing complaint is a fatal blow to all energy andsmbition _.
Sulferers by this disorder can always obtain speedy relief
from these distressing attacks by nsingone of the Cephalic
Pills whenever the symptoms appear. 11: quiet: the over
tasked brain, and soothes the strained and jarring nerves,
and relaxes the tension of the stomach which always ac
companies and aggravates the disordered condition of the
brain. ,
FACT wanna xxowxxc.—Spa.ldix;g’s Cephalic Pills are a
certain cure for Sick Headache, Bilious Headache, Nervous
Headache, Costiveneas and General Debility.
GREAT Discovznr.—Among the most important of all
the great median] discoveries of this age may be considered
the m stem of vaccination for protection from Small Pox,
the Cephalic Pill for relief of Headache, and the use of
Quinine for the prevention of levers. either of which is
a. sure specific, whose benefits will be experienced by eut
fering humanity long after their discoverers are forgotten.
3]?!)11: you ever have the Sick Headache ? Do you
remember the throbbing templea, the favored brow, the
lonthing and disgust at the sight of food? How totally
unfit you were for pleasure, conversation or study. One
of the Cephalic Pills would have relieved you from all tbs
aufieriugmhieh you then experienced. For this and other
purposes you should always have a. box of'-them on hand to
use an occasion requires.
