I do certify that the above and foregoing is
a true and correct copy ol thq "Yeas" and
"Nays" taken on the resolution proposing
amendments to the Constitution of the Com
monwealth, a the same appears on the Jour
nals of the two Houses of the General As

Sect clary of the Commonwealth.
CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL JISKASKS OF THE LUNGS
aid THTOAT nto positively curable by
inhalation, which conveys Ihe remedies to
the cawliea in the lungs through the nir pas
sages, and coming in direct contact with the
disease, neutralizes Ihe tubercular matter,
allays the cough, causes a freo and easy ox
pecio'otion, heals the lungs, purities the blood,
imparls renewed vitality lo the nervous sys
tem, giving that lone and energy so indis
pensable lor the restorative ol health. To be
able lo stale confidently that Consumption is
co rah In by inhalation, is to me a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the
control ol medical tteatment as any other
formidable disease: ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cured in the first stages,
and ftlty per cent, in the second; but ill the
third stage it is impossible to save more than
five per cent., for the luttgs are so cut up by
the dispase as to bid defiance to medical
skill. Even, however, in the lost stages, in
halation affords extraordinary rebel lo the
suffering attending this featfnl scourge, which '
annually destroys ninety Jive thousand por- j
sons in the United States alone; and a correct !
calculation shows that out of the present pop- I
illation ol the earth, eighty millions are des
tined to till the consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so (
fatnl as Consumption. In all ages it has been
the great enemy" ol life, lor it spares neither
a"e nor sex. but sweeps oil'alike the brave, !
the beautiful, the graceful, anil tho gifted.— ;
By the Itelg of that Supreme Being, (rom j
who in cometli every good and perfect gift, I j
am enabled to oiler to the atllcted a pcrma- !
netit at.d speedy cure in Consumption. The :
first cause ot tubercles is trom impure'
blood, and tbe immediate effect, produced j
bv their disposition in the lungs, is to pievenl ,
the free admission ol air into the air cells, ,
which causes a weakened vitality through |
the entire system. Then surely it is more
rational to expect greater good from trodiV
cities entering the cavities ol the lungs ilitw I
Irom those administered through the siom- !
nth; the patient will always find the lungs !
free and the breathing easy after inhaling I
remedies. True, inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally, \
and with more power and certainty than rem
edies administered by lite stomach. To prove
the power til I and direct it-.liiieiicc oi this
mode ol administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in s low mill-
I n'es. paralyzuig Ihe entire nervous system, so
that a limb mat be amputated without tho
! s'ightt-si pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
\ gas will destroy Ide in a lew hours,
i The inhalation ol ammonia will rouse tho
' system when fainting or apparently dead.—
■ ihe odor ot many ot the medicines is per
\ re pi i bio in the skin a few minutes after being
i inhaled, anil may be immediately detected
|in the blood. A convincing proof of the
| constitutional cfiects of inhalation, is the fact
I that sickness is always produced by breath
. ing tout air. Is not this positive evidence
that proper remedies, carelolly prepared and
: judiciously administered through the lungs,
j should produce the most happy results? Du
; ring eighteen years' practice, many llions
; anils, sufiertng from diseases of the lungs
' at.d throat, have been under my care, and 1
have aliened many remarkable rnres. even
| alter the sutferers had been pronounced in
1 'he last stages, which fully satisfies me that
i consumption is no longer a lat.il disease. —
' My treatment cf consumption is or ginal, and
' touniled on long experience and a thorough
investigation. My perlect acquaintance with
the nature ol tubercles. &e., enables me to
I distinguish readily the various forms of dis
ease thai simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
j even in a single case. This familiarity in
connection with certain pathological and mi*'
cioscnpic discoveries, enables me to relieve j
the longs from the effects of contracted chests: :
tc enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart i
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone j
to the entire system.

THE ACKNOWLEDGED
CHAMPION!!
THE recent trials at Read
ing have endorsed the cur
rent of public opinion, and
confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively that "Her
ring's" is the only safe that will not burn.
Extract frntn tho Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Safes nt Reading:
"On tho 26th of February all tho members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
and books and papers, (placed in them) and
were perfectly sa!i6lied that all was right.—
The day following, the burning tnok place,
under the superintendence of the Comminee.
After a fair nnd impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on fiie in
side, and the contents partially consumed,
while the contents iti the Sale of Messrs.
Parrels & Herring were in good condition,
and no fire inside."

The above Safes can be inspected at 34
Walnut Street, where the public can satisfy
themselves of the great superiority of the
"Hertitig's Patent Champion," over the de-I
feated and used-up "inside Iron Door Sala
mander."

of an agent's store, f H. A. Lantz.] made dou
ble thickness, (different front tlin-e they sell)
to "burn up"or.oof Herring's, (halfas thick)
has met with its Hue reward. Herring's Sale
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
of which over 15,000 are now in actuel use,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without n single loss.

LOTTERIES.
THE well-known Maryland Consolidated
Lotteries, ol which IL FRANCE & Co. are

the people, who is sworn to superintend and
cetiify that everything connected with them
>9 done in a strictly honorable manner, and
that the inlerists ot parties who reside at a
distance are as well protected as if they
themselves were present at the drawing
Another fact which the managers call atten
tion to, is, that all persons have a legsl right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, as
lotteries are legalized by special law in that
j slate. A lottery is drawn every day of ih,*
month. If no particular class is named, or
ders are filled in the first drawing to take
j place after the communication comes to
hand. The prices of tickets vary from s>l
to 820. No tickets are, however, sent unless
the money lor the same is received with the
order. Ihe drawings are upon the principle
of one number on each ticket (after the Ha
vana plan,) and Tertiary combination, l'rizea
vary in amount from #2O to 8100,000. All
orders for tickets or packages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
