1 do certify that the above ar.d foregoing is
a true and correct copy ol the "Yeas" and
"Nays" taken on the resolution proposing
amendments to the Constitution of the Com
monwealth, as the same apposes on the Jour

Sccictary of the Commonwealth.
CONSUMPTION,
AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS
aid THTOAT ute positively curable by
inhalation, which conveys the remedies lo
' the cavities in the lungs through the air pas
sages, and coming in diroct contact with the
disease, neutralizes the tubercular mailer,
ullays the cough, causes a free and easy ex
pecto'ution, heals the lungs, purifies the blood,
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving that lone and energy so indis
pensable lor the restorative of health. To be
able to slnlo confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to rnc a source of
unalloyed pleasure. It is as tnnch under the
control of medical treatment us any other
formidable disease; ninety out of every hun
dred cases can be cured in the first stages,
and fifty pet cent, in the second; but in the
third stage it is impossible lo save more than
five per cent., for the lungs me o cut up by
the disease us to bid defiance lo medical
skill. Even, however, in the lost stages, in
halation affords extraordinary relief lo the
suffering attending this fearful scourge, which
annually destroys ninety fivo thousand per
sons in the United Stales alone; nnd a correct
calculation shows that out of the present pop
ulation of the earth, eighty millions are de
tinpd lo fill the consumptive's grave.
| Truly Ihe quiver of death lias no arrow so
filial as Consumption. In ull ages it has been
' thb great onetny of life, for it spares neither
age nor sex. but sweeps ofr alike the brave,
! the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.— j
; liy tho help of that Supreme Being, from .
I whom romelli every good and perfect gift, I j
j atn enabled to ofler to tho alflcted a permit- j
1 nent at.d speedy cure in Consumption. The '
first cause of tubercles is from impure i
' Idood. and the immediate effect, produced I
I by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent
! the free admission of air into the air cells,
i which causes a weakened vitality through
j the entire system. Then surely it is more
I rational to expeel greater good from tr.cdij
i cities outetiiig tho cavities of the lungs than
! Irom those administered through the stoin-
I aclr, the patient will always find the lungs
j (roe and the breathing easy after inhaling
! remedies. True, inhalation is a local
j remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally,
: and with more power and certainty than retn
! etlies administered by the stomach. To prove
! the powerful and direct influence ol this
mode ol administration, chloroform inhaled
will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew mitt
' ntes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so
1 that a hmb may be amputated without the
■ s'ighlesi pain; inhaling the ordinary burning
i gas will destroy life in a few hours.
I * The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the
' system when fainting or apparently dead.—
The odor of many ol the medicines is per
' eeptible in the skin a few minutes after being
inhaled, and may be immediately detected
iin the Wood. A convincing proof of the
; constitutional efiecls of inhalation, is the fact
' that sickness is always produced by breath
' ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence
' that proper remedies, carelully prepared and
judiciously administered through the lungs,
! should produce the most happy tesults? Pit
i ring eighteen years' practice, many thous
-1 amis, suffering from diseases of the lungs
ar.d throat, have been under my care, and I
i have alfected many remarkable cures, even
' after the sufferers had been pronounced in
the last stagc, which fully satisfies me that
' consumption is no longer a latal disease.—
; My treatment of consumption is original, and
founded on long experience and a thorough
; investigation. My perfect acquaintance with
ttie nature of tubercles, &c., enables me lo
distinguish readily the various forms of dis
I ease that simulate consumption, and apply
the proper remedies rarely being mistaken
; even in a single case. This familiarity ill
connection with certain pathological am l mi
croscopic discoveries, enables mc to relieve
the longs from the effects of contracted chests;
to eidarge the chest, purity the blood, impart
to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone
to the entire system.

THE ACKNOWLEDGED
THE recent trials at Read
ing have endorsed the cur
rent of publio opinion, and
confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci
dental fires, proving conclusively that "Her
ring's" it the only safe that will not burn.
Extract from the Committee's Report on
the Trial of Iron Sales at Reading:
"On the 26th of February all the members
of the Committee met to witness the Safes
and books and papers, (placed in them; and
were perfectly satisfied that all was right.—
The day following, the burning took place,
under the superintendence of the Committee.
Alter a fair and impartial burning for five
hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson
was first opened, the Safe being on fire in
side, and the contents partially consumed,
while the contents in the Sale of Messrs.
Fsrrels & Herring were in good condition,
and no fire inside."

themselves of the great superiority of the

feated and uted-vp "inside Iron Door Sala

ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
lo "burn up"or.e of Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its Hue reward. Heiring's Sale
could not be burnt, proving conclusively lhal
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 a single loss.

•a done in a strictly honorable manner, and
that the interisis ot parlies 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 leg;l right
to send orders (or tickets to Maryland, at
lotteries are legalized by special law in that

Small doses seldom fail to cure the Piles.
One dose cures the headache arising f/om

Strong doses often repeated expel every
