THE SIGNS OP THE TIMES.
ELECTIONS were last week held in the Stales
of Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri,
Norlh Carolina and lowa. The Democralc
have proved 'ihemselves in the majority in
all of these except lowa where a large Free
Soil vote has been manifest for several yean
past. Know-Nothingism is everywhere mu
ted.
Kentucky and North Carolina have hereto
fore been Whig States, hut since the Know-
Nothing movement has swallowed up that
party we find 10,000 Democratic majoiity in
Kentucky, and that will be Buchanan's ma
jority there.
In Missouri there were two Democratic
candidates for Governor and the contest is
close. But each of them has nearly as many
votes as the Know-Nothing candidate, and
both of them were voted for as Buchanan
candidates. If Benton is not elected Gov
ernor he will stand a good chance with ihe
Legislature for United Stales Senator, and
will nol destroy himself nor his friends by
going for Fremont.
THE NEW CANDIDATE-
We are right well pleased with the nomi
nation at Chambersburg, and it will be high
ly acceptable to tbe true Dfcmocracy of the
State. It is from among the trfle and firm men
of the country which has shown honor and
magnanimity; and the nominee brings to his
position that character for integrity-end intel
ligence which is the best guarantee of suc
cess. Mr. Rowe was nominated by a vote
ol 60 to 49 for Mr. Whallon of Erie, and 4
for Alexander of Clarion. The Pennsylvania
an says ol him : Mr. ROWE is in the prims
of life, and is a nstive of the county in which
he now resides. He was a member of the
Legislature for two successive sessions, and
elected on both occasions over a standing
Whig majority of seven or eight hundred,
and that 100 before the advent of Know Noth
ingism. Mr. R. has, until quite recently,
been engaged in the business of a miller,
and is al this time a merchant in the beauti
ful village of Grcencastle, to wbose prosper
ity lis huts .aattibulul, He is m
--lbently a man of THE PEOPLE —tf-man of prac
tical experience, of great industry and in
domitable energy and perseverance.
He is wholly independent of the office
proposed to be conferred upon him. The
nomination was unsolicited on his part, and
those who know him need no additional
guarantee that the duties of the station which
he is desiiued to fill, will be discharged with
signal ability and fidelity.
All who were spoken of in connection
with the office, were good men and true, but
it was thought advisable to take the candi
date from the south-western portion of tbe
State. In the ctndidate selected, we have a
man whom tbe people delight to honor; one
upon whqse reputation not a suspicion has
ever been cast. The Old Line Whigs who
supported him against theirown regular can
didate, lor a seat in the Legislature, will,
now that he is a candidate for an important
State office, rally to his support in battalions.
The nomination will give general satisfac
tion. Our newly nominated candidate comes
luily up to the Jeffersonian standard in capa
city and honesty.
DEUOCTtATIC CONVENTION.
On Wednesday morning last, the Demo
cratic State Convention re-assembled at
Chambenburg, to nominate a successor in
Ihe place of Timothy Ives, candidate for Sur
veyor General, resigned.
At 10 o'clock, Ihe Hon. H. B. Wright, of
Lnzerne County, took the Chair, and called,
the Convention to order. The roll of dele
gates was called, and on motion, the Con
vention adjourned until 3 o'clock, P. M.
On the re-assembling of the Convention at
the appointed hour, Mr. Wright made an
able and powerful speech, calling the atten
tion of tba delegates to the purpose lliey had
met for, and closed in B beautiful peroration
iu favor of the Constitution end the union o(
tbe Democracy, bending their energies to
the success of the State ticket preparatory to
the great struggle which ia to attest tbe na-
of our party in November.
Tbe Convention immediately proceeded to
ballot for a Candidate for Surveyor Gener
al, when, on the Bth ballot, Mr. JOHN ROWE,
of Franklin county, received the nomination,
•mid the most tumultuous cheering.
In the evening, a tremendous ratification
meeting was held, when J. Randall, Esq., ol
Philadelphia; Col. J. W. Black, of Pittsburg,
and General Wilson of Venango oounty,
made speeches, when the meetingadjourned
with three hearty cheers for the State tieket,

Caitawissa Railroad Slock is Mill unsettled.
One day this week it reee more than 7 pet

The Sunbory and Erie Railroad Company
ask for a new loan of a million and a half
from the City Council, in addition to the two
and a quarter millions already loaned. But
ae there is no money in the treasury since
the vampires of last year gorged themselves
m the municipal offices, the Railroad propo-
P'seslo take in lieu of money 30/'OO shares of
the stock of the Pennsylvania railroad which
the City now owns. That is to say: the Penn
sylvania Railroad borrowed the credit of the
City and gave bonds as the representative of
that credit; this same credit (be Sunbury
and Erie Company now propose to borrow,
to be sold by them for money to build their
road.
The late Board of Guardians of the Poor,
with true Know-Nothing recklessness, spent
the whole appropriation of $54,000 in six
months before they went out of offioe, which
had been appropriated as the amount for out
door relief during the t chole year. They
knew their doom was sealed, and so deter
mined to make the most ol their last chance.
It was high time the people turned them ont.
The Democrats here are ill high spit its,
and the Republicans quite dishearled. Fill
more stock has gone up a little, but when
such men as Randall, Reed and Meredith
come into the Democratic ranks there is very
little left for Conrad to lead. The great body
of the business men along Market and Third.
Street are for Buchanan. They say they
want a safe man of character and stabilily
wlio will keep thd country quiet, and not a
wild adventurer of strange fancies and fanat
ical caprices.
The Collossos of the Advertising World.
THE PRESS AND THE PEOPLE.
It is estimated that the entire newspaper
press of the world reaches about two hun
dred millions of its inhabitants, and as the
advertising system of Prof. Holloway covers
the whole of this extensive medium for the
communication of intelligence, we may safe
ly presume ilia! one fourth of the adult pop
ulation of the Globe are familiar with the
properties of his medicines. The annual
cost of maintaining an unintermilied inter
course with so large a portion of mankind,
through the agency of the press, is neces
sarily enormous; and we can state from the
data laid before us that it equals the com
bined revenues of two first class States of the
Union. From these Facts some idea may
be formed of the consumption of his reme
dies. Wherever they become known by
advertisement, and thus obtain a trial, a de
mand for them is created which soon pro
duces immense returns, thus affording new
capital for their further diffusion In this
way, with gigantic strides, these grand spe
cifics are traversing every region of the earth,
raising thousands of hopeless sufferers from
(heir sick beds, curing disease in all its terri
ble forms, strengthening the weak, relieving
agony, and infusing new life and vigor into
Dlu|UlUtiM of dsessfit Uvnan W*ti>g*| bow4d
drfwn with despondency and woe. The
wonderful progress of these medicines has
bem without a check from their introduction
to the present day. Of the millions to whom
they have been administered not one lias
questioned their efficacy. They stand unim
peached before the world. The feeble oppo
sition raised against them in some quarters
by professional envy and selfishness, has
been borne down by the overwhelming
weight of public opinion, and they have
passed over all impediments alike into the
palace, the private mansion, the hospital,
snd the dispensary. The backwoodsman
and the busy citizen, the farmer, the travel
er, the sailor, the soldier, in short, the repre
sentatives of every class—invalids of both
sexes and of all ages—regard Holloway'a
Pills and Ointment as the most reliable of all
medicines in every stage of disease. A pop
ularity so universal, a fsilh so firm and un
doubtful, can only be founded on a veritable
basts, and this popuiatity and faith, be it re
membered, has bee extending with mar
velous rapidity for more than twenty years !
Cincinnati Daily Columbian.
ty A very singular state of things exists
in Illinois, where the Republican candidate
lor Governor has been extolled by his parti
sans for his courage in proposing to fight
Col. Jeff Davis, in 1850, with muskets, at 30
paces. Tho Constitution of that State says
expressly that no man who either sends ot
accepts a challenge to fight a duel, shall be
*igible to any office of trust and emolcmer.t
the State, and the Governor on taking of
fice, must swear that he never sent or ac
cepted a challenge. The Republican candi
date for Lieutenant Governor qf the Slate is
an adopted citizen, and or. showing his nat
uralization papers, was found not to have the
age required by the Constitution of the State
to fill that office. This is rather light.

HON, JOSIAH RANDALL'S SPEECH
Before the Democratic State Convention, held at
Chambersburg, August 6th, 1856.
In obedience to the request of the Demo
cratic Slate Convention of Pennsylvania, I
claim the attention of my fellow-citizens for
a short lime. lam aware that I have receiv
ed this courtesy became [ have heretofore
been a member of the Old Line Whig party.
In 1824-5, the Democratic and Whig par
ties were separated by no question of princi
ple, but were divided upon the question,
whether General Jackson was entitled to be
elected President ol the United Slates. In
the progress of time, during the thirty years
of the exis'.ense of the Whig party, several
important principles were presented, and the
two parties became distinct and independent
of each other upon questions ot public policy.
These were:
t. The renewal of the charter of the Bank
of the United Slates.
2. The Sub-Treasury.
3. The Distribution or the Proceeds of the
Publio Lands.
4. The Tariff.
A'' National Hank " was abandoned by the
Democratic parly, under the veto of General
Jackson in 1832, and by the Whig parly in
1844.
"The Sub-Treasury." the.cardinal meas
tire of hlr. Van Buren,'was opposed by r '[he
Whig party, has fought ilsell into publio fa
vor, and no one now wishes to disturb it.
" The Distribution of the Proceeds of Pub
lic Lands" has been superceded by the debt
created by the Mexican war.
"The Tariff" no longer remains either a
political or geographical question ; the last
Congress exhibited the spectacle of the
"State Rights" men of the South and the Re
publican Abolitionists of the North, united
against Pennsylvania, without distinction of
party, to reduce the tariff below its present
standard.
If there remain any practical disputable
principle, which constituted an issue between
the Democratic and the old Whig parties,J
do not know it.
Tlia Whig parly has performed its duty,
and has had its day. It has been proairaied
by the organization of ihe American parly, or
the Knoto-Nolhing Order. They and not the
Old Line Whigs have been the Executioners.
They have renounced their old cognomen,
laid aside their old principles, and substitu
ted in their place a new name and s new
creed never heretofore recognized by Clay,
Webster. Sergeant or their noble compeers.
I know there are many intelligent and pa
triotic men who cherish the hope that the
Whig party can again be resuscitated, but
the hope is delusive, and it is pernicious be
cause it deprives the country of a large pop
lion of intellect and worth, which ought to be
brought into public service. In the History
of our Republic, no party broken down ha 6
ever yet been re-organized. The fate of the
Federal and Anti-Masonic parties establishes
this fact. There is not n' this time a Whig
member of the popular branch of Congress
elected by a Whig vote. There is not a
member of the Legislature of Pennsylvania
elected by a Whig vote. There is not a
member of the Councils of the City of Phila
delphia elected by a Whig vote. For the last
two years, with but two exceptions, wher
ever the scattered members of the Whig par
ty have met in council, they have felt their
posiliou, and have, therefore, wisely abstain
ed from forming a Ticket to be voted for at
the polls. In New Hampshire and Massa
chusetts they rallied at the polls, and the re
sult wax-paucity of numbers and total defeat.
But, I ask, what good would be derived from
the re-organization and triumph of the Old
Whig Party! They do not want a National
Bank. They do not desire the repeal of the
Sub Treasury. The -most ardent friends of
the Tariff do not ask for the re-establishment
of the High Tariff of 1828, or even of 1842;
but all tbey ask is, that the tariff shall stand
where it was placed in 1846 by the casting
vote of Ihe Vice President, Mr. Dallas. All
the old issues have been settled, and as a
natural eonsequence, new parties have
sprang up, and new issues have been formed.
The Order of Know Nothings have violated
the tetter and spirit of the VI Article of the
Constitution of the United States, which de
clares that "No religious test shall ever be re
quired as a Qualification to any Office or Public
Trust under the United States;" they have es
tablished secret societies, secret oaths and
obligations. With these principles the Whig
party in ita daya of power and numerical
strength had no sympathy nor affiliation, and
there is no part ol t Union where the Wfcigs
were more inflexitfe in opposing these po
litical heresies lhanin the State of Pennsyl
vania.
In 1845, when tie Whig party met in the
city of PhiladelpfJa, after the defeat of Mr-
Clay, the duty of ripening the meeting and
setting forth their Principles was committed
to me. I fyfti irsfay hand at that meeting,
the charier ef Rhode Island, granted to Roger
Williams, which containa the broadest and
most comprehensive declaration of religions
liberty and equably ever yet penned. I read
its eloquent and energetic platform and aaid,
"this is Ihe doctrine of tie Whig party," and
Pointing to the ruins of the Roman Cathode
ChtiTch of St. Augustine, burnt during the
disgraoefgf riots of 1844, and which lay with
in a few yrdg of the place of meeting I added
—"there is its desecration." There is not a
nook nor corner % n the vast region of our
country which does „ ol co rilel*l 'Old Line
Whigs who are willing t„„ and bv , he Con .
atitutioo and the Union. Bovtheii numerical
strength is lar exceeded by the\. patriotism,
talents, and public spirit. This is body
to which f have been attached, and \ f eo |
the deepest interest in the course they shall
pursue.
The Republicau parly is sectional, and ita
success must, in my judgment, lead to a
severance ot the ynion. Ido not believe
tfaat the great Mess of that party anticipate
this result; but if it should be consummated,
their regret will ke no equivalent for the
damning injuty thsreby inflicted upon this
great Republic. I appeal to every Old Line
Whig in the Union to avert this calamity.—
The South cannot and will not remain in the
Union, unless their rights are guaranteed to
them. If we were in the sgme situa
tion, we would demand our rights in tones
as imperative and mandatory as those which
are now used by our Southern brethren.
How is this great evii lobe avoided? I
answer, by the election of Mr. Buchanan.—
Every vole given to him is a check to the
ptogresß of (be Republican parly, [ know
there are many Whigs who approve of the
administration of Millard Fillmore, and are
willing to trust him again. Every vote given
to Mr. Fillmore increases the danger of the
success of Fremont. Every vote given to
Mr. Buchanan potentially seals the fate of
Mr. Fremont. But Millard Fitlmoie in 1848,
'SO, and '52, is not the Millard Fillmore of
i#w. When he was elected Vice President
in 1848, —when he became the Acting Pres
ident in 1850, —and when he was a candidate
for re-nomination by the Whig Convention
in Baltimore, in 1852, he professed to be a
Whig—nothing more, nothing less. The Na
tive American party at that time was in ex
istence and proclaimed principles in terms
far less exceptionable than those now avowed
by the Know Nothing party. But Mr. Fill
more then had neither paft nor lot with them,
he stood upon the ground occupied by Clay,
Webster and Sergeant. What is he now ?
He has been initiated into the Order of the
Know Nothings, taken upon himself its secret
and obligations, and this at a lime when
his Wfands were presenting his claims to he
United States. He
has since bocomeitie candidate and accepted
the nomination of the American or Know
Nothing National Convention. In a corres
pondence between the Order of United
Americans of the State of New York and
him, under the date of July 251b, 1856, they
say:
"Boih from your past official acta, and
from the assurances and views expressed by
you on many occasions, as having similar
sentiments in reference to these subjects, to
them of so much seeming importance, the
successful establishment of these principles,
as the fundamental Rules of our Government,
they believe essential for its tranquility, and
a continued progress in the development of
all its greatness."
.Mr. Fillmore, in his answer, dated 29ih of
July, 1856, acquiesces in this statement and
replies—
"My position before the country is well
known, admitting neither of disguise nor
equivocation. 1 am the candidate of the
American party."
Mr. Fillmore here proclaims himself the
American candidate, and adopts the creed,
oaths and obligations of that party without
"disguise or equivocation." In the Secret
Lodge of the Order of Kuow Nothings he has
Bworn that he will neither vote for nor ap
point a Roman Catholic to office. If elected
and inaugurated President of the United
Stales, he would be compelled to swear that
he would require "no religious lest as a quali
fication to any Office or Public T>ust under the
United States." I ask, under such circum
stances, which oath would he keep, and
which oath would he violate? Are the Old
Line Whigs prepared to indorse Mr. Fillmore,
thus presented for their suffrages by himself?
I know no difference between on individual
joining the Order aad giving his vole to sus
tain its candidate, except that the latter course
is more effeotive in carrying out the tenets of
this party.
The friends of Mr. Fillmore have assailed
Mr. Buchanan lor bis Ostend communication
without admitting or denying the soundness
of the doctrine therein contained. I would
remnrk that ite correspondence of Mr. Ever
ett, as Secretary of State under Mr. Fillmore,
after the death of Mr. Webster, relative to
Cuba, is more offensive, and ought to be
more obnoxious to the criticism of conserva
tive men tLan the Ostend Letter; and it should
be remembered that the diplomatic manifes
to of Mr. Everett was issued under the im
mediate supervision of Mr. Fillmore and his
Cabinet
Mr. Everett is probably the best educated
Statesman now living, he is an erudite schol
ar and a sound Patriot. When in Congress,
be look higher ground in favor of the South
on the subject of slavery, than any northern
statesman had ever done before, or has' ever
done since. One thing is certain, any opin
ion upon International Law promulgated by
him, is entitled to respect. Mr. Buchanan
has been in public life upwsrda of forty years,
be has filled the highest offices which his
own State could confer upon him. He has
occupied the highest seat in the Cabinet dur
ing a most eventful epooh; and be has twice
represented his country at the Courle of the
two first Nations in Europe. His private
character stands without blot or blemiab and
beyond rebuke or reproach ; and it is a high
eulogium upon his public life, that the "Or
tend Idler" is the only aot which is des
ignated by bit opponents as the ground of at
tack.
There are many Okl Line Whiga who are
attached to their cognomen, and dislike chang
ing it—this is an over scrupulous nicety.—
They must change their name—they must
recognize the title of an American, Know
Nothing, Republican, or a Democrat. If they
refuse to elect either of these namee, they
must retire from all participation in public
affaira. Gov. Seward is reported to have said
during the present session of Congress, in
caucus, that he cared nothing for names, but
that he looked to principlee alone. The re
| mark showed he had a clear head and a
' sound judgment, and was worthy Of a belter
loaose.
Time will not permit raetodiaouaa at large
| the question of the Territories. I hold that
the Territory ceded to us by Mexico was pur
chased by common treasure. The fifteen
Slave States contributed thei: portion ol the
fond as well at the then fifteen Free States
Territory should stand on the same footing
aa admitted States, and the right of the peo
ple to hold Slaves or not, aa they please, in
' the Territory ought to be commensurate with
the rights of the people as they exist in the
thirty-one States. Tnere can t>e no Just ground
for any discrimination between Ihetwo cases.
New Territory is surely not more sacred than
the old thirteen Slates, or the present thirty
one States.. ,The will of a majority prevails
in the cases last enumerated, and the same
orthodox principle should prevail in the newly
acquired Territory.
What ia the doctrine of the Wilmol proviso?
.It is the sixteen free States declaring to the
fifteen slave Slates—you are part owners of
this Territory; you have shed your blood and
expended your treasure in acquiring it, but
"Jrou shall have no share in its enjoyment or
profits. Strip it of its trappings, and it amounts
to this; there are tbirly-one stockholders in
a corporation, and sixteen say to fifteen, it ia
true you are part owners and have contribut
ed to the purchase of our common properly,
but you shall have no share in the enjoyment
of its privileges or the receipts of its profits.
Such a doctrine is subversive of every princi
ple of justice and equality, ar.d cannot be
sustained.
I am not the advocate of opinions that are
new to the Whig party of Pennsylvania. At
a Whig meeting held in September, 1850, at
the Chinese Museum, in Philadelphia, I of
fered a resolution congratulating the Nation
upon the restoration of peace and quietude
to the country by the passage of the Compro
mise Acts of that year. It was unanimously
adopted, and 1 then laid down the came prin
ciples which I am now endeavoring to incul
cate.
In November, 1850, the ({real Union Meet*
ing wan held at ibe same place, and over
which John Sergeant presided. Among oth
ers, I again enforced the same principles.—
At a later period, during the session ol the
Legislature of this State in 1861, a pure Whig
meeting was called to reqneet the repeat of
the At ol iho Legislature of IB4T, which
closed the public jails of this Commonwealth
against the custody of Fugitive Slaves. At
that meeting Samuel Breck, second to no man
in the country, in intelligence and patriotism,
presided. I again promulgated the same doc
trine and they were again endorsed by Ibe
Whig party assembled on that occasion.
These are some of the reasons why I in
voke every Old Line Whig in Pennsylvania
to support Mr. Buchanan. The triumph of
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania, in Oc
tober next, would place his election beyond
doubt. It would remove the last glimmering
hope of the opposition, restore peace and qui
etude to Ibe country, and for one generation
at least, put at rest the present agitation on
the question of slavery. The Old Line Wbigs
of Pennsylvania possess the power to accom
plish this great result; the responsibility rests
upon them, and I have no doubt but that the
draft which is made upon their patriotism
will be promptly accepted, and that the great
i Keystone Slate will once more come to the
rescue, and do as she has done heretofore,
put down all sectional feeling,, and at the bal
lot-box give a vote which will strike terror lo
the enemies of the Constitution and our glo
rious Union, which have so long been the
pride and admiration of every friend of civil
and religious liberty ihruSghoiit the world.

„ FRANCE.
The intentions of the French Government
regarding Spain are (be subject of much spec
ulation in Paris. It is said that if O'Donnell
is successful, France oan have no occasion
to interfere. On the other band, should the
Liberals succeed, aud the Queen be required
to abdicate in favor of the Princess of Aus
tria, with Espartero as Regent, neither would
France interfere, but if the Duchess of Mom
pensiershould become next heir to the throne,
or should a Republic be proclaimed, then
Franee would invade Spain.
Prince Lucien Bonaparte has gone on a
mission to Madrid.
SPAIN.
The advices from Madrid to the 18th give
the official accounts of the insurrectiou. The
National Guard has been almost entirely dis
armed. Domiciliary visits are being made
to secure all the arms in the hands of the
citizens, and numerous arrests have been
made in Madrid.
Of the royal troops, forty or fifty were kill
ed, and about one hundred woundod. The
loss of the insurgents is not known.
The fighting si Barcelona continued during
two days.
A portion of the troops at Saragossa remain
faithful to the Queen.
The Government is despatching all the
available troops towards the last stronghold
of the Insurrectionists, with oiderfnot to fight
in the streets, but to botnbart) the oily from
the adjoining fort*.
Later advices annonnce Madud to be trao
quit. Espatero ia still there, MP O'Donnell
ha* offered him his pasrports to any port of
Spain, or abroad.
Private accounts say tbst the royal troops
showed great ferocity at Madrid, having
butchered several companies of the National
Guards after their surrender.
Marshal Narvaez offered his services to
Gen. O'Donnell when the insurrection com
menced. He had been appointed Minister
to Pans.

HOLLOWAV'S PILI.B.— -Thousands, who liftli
by the sweat of their brows, in ertl sections
of the Union, rely upon this great remedy aa
the best protection against the disordeis of
the stomach, liver, and bowels, so prevalent
in this climate during the Spring and Pall.—
In the crowded city, and the frontier settle
ments, oil theaea coast, and on the alluvial
soil of the south western rivers, they are
equally Indispensable; for wtiemrcr internal
disease exists, either in an endemic or epi
demic form, they are taken by the cautions
as a preventive, and the Bick as a means of
cure.

The Medicine of the Million.
PHILOSOPHY AND FACT.
IPB&QdSo
The Exciting (MM ot Sickness.
The blood is the life sustaining agent. It
furnishes the components of flesh, bone,
muscle, nerve and integument. The stomach
is its manufactory, the veins its distributors,
and the intestines the channel through which
the waste matter rejected in ite productions
is expelled. Upon the stomach, the circula
tion and the bowels, these Pills set simulta
neously, relieving indigestion, purifying the
fluids, and regulaliig the excretions.
THE NATIONAL COMPLAINT.
Dyspepsia ia the most common disease
among all classes in this country. Itassnmea
a thousand shape*, and la the primary eourcs
of innumerable dangerous maladies; but
'whatever ite type or symptoms, however ob
stinate i)s resistance to ordinary preparations,
it yields readily and rapidly to this searching
and unerring remedy.
BILIOUS AFFECTIONS.
The quantity and quality of the tile are of
vital importance to health. Upon the liver,
the gland which secretes this fluid, these
Pills operate specifically, infallibly ramifying
its irregularities, and effectually curing Jaun
dice, Bilious Remiltants, and all the varieties
of disease generated by an unnatural condi
i tion of the organ.
BOWEL COMPLAINT?.
Unless the bowels perform their functions
properly, the whole body suffers. Tens of
thousands die annually of Dysentery, Diar
rhoea, Chronio consumption, and other dis
eases of these waste pipes of the system.—
The efleot ol the Pills upon all intestinal dis
orders, whether casual or epidemic, ia a
phenomenon in medicine. By following the
, printed directions, the most alarming cases
| of bowel complaint are promptly controlled.
A Word to Females.
The local debility and irregularities which
are the especial annoyances of the weaker
sex, and which, when neglected, always
shorten life, nro relieved for the time being,
and prevented for the time to come, by a
course of this mild but.thorough alterative.
