Pennsylvania, is: I do certify that Ihe above ar.d foregoing is a true and correct copy ol the "Yeas" and "Nays" taken on the resolution proposing amendments lo the Constitution of the Com monwealth, aa the same appears on the Jour nals of the two Houses ol the General As sembly of this Commonwealth for the session of 1857. r, .i Witness my hantl end the seal of the - ' said office, this twemy-secood day of June, A. D. 1857. A. G. CURTIN, Sect clary of Ike Commonwealth. CONSUMPTION, AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS and THTOAT are positively curable by inhalation, which conveys Ihe remedies to the cavities in the lungs through the air pas sages, and coming in direct contact with the disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter, allays the cough, causes a free and easy ex pccto'aiion, heals the lungs, purifies the blood, imparls renewed vitality lo the nervous eys lem, giving that tone and energy ao indis pensable (or the restorative of health. To be able lo state confidently that Consumption is curable by inhalation, is to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the control of medical treatment as any other formidable disease; ninety out of every hun dred cases can be cured in the first s'.ages, and fifty per cent, in the second; but in the third stage it is impossible to save more than five per cent., for the longs are so cut up by ihe disease as lo bid defiance lo medical skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in halation affords extraordinary relief lo the suffering attending this fearful scourge, which annually destroys ninety five thousand per sons in the United States alone; and a correct calculation shows that out of the present pop ulation of the earth, eighty millions are des tined to fill the consumptive's grave. Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so fatal as Consumption. Iu all ages it has been the great enemy of life, for it spares neither age nor sex, but sweeps off alike Ihe brave, the beautiful, the graceful, and Ihe gifted.— Ry the help of that Supreme Being, from whom comeih every good and perfect gift, 1 am enabled to oiler lo the articled a perma nent and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of tubercles is from impure blood, and the immediate effect, produced by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent the free admission of 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 nr.edij cines entering the cavities of the lungs than from those administered through the stom ach; the patient will always find tbe lungs free and thd breathing easy after inhaling remedies. True, inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally, and with more power and certainty than rem edies administered by the stomaoh. To prove the poweitul and direct influence ol this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min utes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so that a limb ma> be amputated without the s'ightest pain; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will ileeitoy life in a few bours. The inhalation of ammonia will rouse (he system when fainting or apparently dead.— The odor of many of the medicines is per ceptible in the skin a few minutes after being inhaled, and may be immediately detected in the blood. A convincing proof of (he constitutional eflects of inhalation, is the faol that sickness is always produced by breath ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously administered through the lungs, should produce the most happy resulls? Du ring eighteen years' practice, many thous ands, suffering from diseases of (lie lungs and throat, have been under my care, and I have affected many remarkable cures, even liter the sufferers had been pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a latal disease.— My treatment of consumption is original, aud founded on long experience and a thorough investigation. My perfect acquainlance with the nature of tubercles, &c., enables me lo distinguish readily the various forms of dis ease that simulate consumption, and apply the proper remedies rarely being mistaken even in a single case. This familiarity in connection with certain pathological an" mi croscopic discoveries, Enables me to relieve the lungs from the effects of contracted chests; to enlarge the cheat, purify the blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy and lone lo the entire system.

THE ACKNOWLEDGED THE recent trials at Read ing have endorsed the cur rent of public opinion, end confirmed the verdict of more than 200 acci dental fires, proving conclusively that "Her ring's" is ibe only safe that will not burn. Extract from the Committee's Report on I the Trial of Iron Safes at Reading: "On the 26th of February all tbe members of tbe Committee met to witness the Bafes and books and papers, (placed in them) and were perfectly sat idled that all was right.— The day following, the burning took place, under the superintendence of the Committee. After 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. Farreis & Herring were in good condition, and no fire inside.'' Reading, March 2, 1857. H. F. FELIX, 1 (Signed) P. N. COLEMAN, } Com. A. H.

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 a single loss.
