SECRETARV'S OFFICE, ) JJARRISDUHO, June 22, 1857. } Penntylvnnii, si; I do certify that the above and foregoing is a true uinl correct copy ol the "Yeas" anil "Nays" taken on the resolution proposing amendments to the Constitution of the Com monwealth, as the same appears on the Jour nals of the two Houses of the General As aeinhlv of this Common wealth for the session of 1857. r , Witness my hand and the seal of the ■- " s J said office, this twenty-second day of June, A. D. 1857. A. G. CURTIN, Sect clary of the Commonwealth. CONSUMPTION, AND ALL MSEASES OF THE LUNGS aid THTOAT are positively curable by inhalation, which conveys the remedies to the cavities in the lungs through the air pas sages, and coming in direct contact wilii the disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter, allays the cough, causes a free and easy ex pectoration, heals the lungs, purifies tho blood, imparls renewed vitality to the nervous sys tem, giving that tone and energy 60 indis pensable for the restorative of health. To be able to 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 stages, and fifty per cent, in the second; but in the third stage it is impossible to save more than five per cent., for the lungs ere so cut up by the disease as to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, however, in the lost stages, in halation affords extraordinary relief to the suffering attending this fearful scourge, which annually destroys ninety five thousand per sons iu 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 dealt) lias no arrow so fatal as Consumption. In all ages it tias been (tie great enemy of life, for it spares neither ago nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave, the beautiful, the gruceful, and the gifted.— By the help of that Supreme Being, from whom comeih every good and perfect gift, I am enabled to ofler to the articled a perma nent ut;d speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of tubercles is from impure blood, and tbe immediate *ll6Ol, 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 ir.edi] clues entering the cavities of the lungs than Irom ihosti administered through the stom ach; the patient will always find the lungs free and the 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 stomach. To prove the poweitul nnri direct influence oi this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min utes, paralysing the entile nervous system, so that a limb may be amputated without the shghtest pain ; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a few hours. The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system when fainting or apparently dead.— The odor of many of the medicines is per ceptible in the skin a lew minutes after being inhaled, and may be immediately delected in the blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional cfleets ol inhalation, is the fact 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 results? Du ring eighteen years' practice, many thous ands. suffering from diseases of the lungs and throat, have been under my care, and 1 have affected many remarkable cures, even alter the sufferers bad been pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies mo that consumption is no longer n latal disease.— My treatment of consumption is original, and lottuded on long experience and a thorough investigation. My peifect acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, &e., enables me to distinguish readily the various furms of dis ease lht simulate consumption, and apply the proper remedies rarely being mistaken even in a single case. This familiarity in connection with certain pathological anil mi croscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve the lungs from rite effects of contracted chests; to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to lite entire system.

Report of the Committee appointed to superintend the burning of the Iron Safes at Heading, Feb. tilth, IL<57. READING, March 4th. The undersigned, members ol the Commit tee, do respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes originally agreed upon by Parrels & Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side by side in a furnace, viz: The Sale in use by the Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Head ing Railroad Company, in his office at Read ing, manufactured by Parrels & Herring, and the Safe in use by H. A. I.anlz, in his store, manufactured by Evans & Wutson, and put in books and papers precisely alike. The fire was started at 84 o'clock, A. M., and kept up until four cords of green hickory, two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood were entirely consumed, the whole under the superintendence of the subscribers, mem bers ol the Committee. The Safes were then cooled off with water, after which they were opened, agd the books and papers taken out by th 6 Committee and sent to H. A. Larttz's store for public examination, after they were first examined and marked by the Commit tee. The books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured by Evans & Watson were but slightly affected by the intense heat, while (hose taken from the Safe manufac tured by Farrels & Herm*g were, in our judg ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those taken from Evans & Watson's Safe.

H HERRING'S S3 13* THE ACKNOWLEDGED 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 from the Committee's Report on the Trial of Iron Safes at Reading: "On the 2Gib of February all the members of the Committee met to witness the Safes and books and papers, (placed in Ihem) and were perfectly satisfied that all was right.— The day following, the burning tnok 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. Parrels & Herring were in good condition, and no fire inside." Reading, Match 2, 1857. H. F. FELIX, ) (Signed) P. N. COLEMAN, J Com. A. H.

Three Boxes bave cured the worst cases of Scrofula. Two boxes have cured Erysipelas. One box always cures (he Jaundice. Tnee boxes are sure to cleanse the system from boils—often less than one does n. Two boxes have completely cured the worst of ulcers on the legs. Small doses seldom fail to cure the Piles. One dose cures the headache arising from a foul stomach. Strong doses often repealed expel every worm from ihd body. The should be given to children, who are always more or less afflicted with this scourge. As a gen'le Physic they have no equal. One box cures derangement oi the Liver, Halt a box cures a cold. They purify the blood, and thus strike at the foundation of every disease. As a dinner Pill there is not their equal in the world. They are purely vegetable, nd can do no harm, but do accomplish an unaccountable amount of good. Prepares by Dr. JAS. C. AYER. Practical and Analytical Chemist, Lowell, Mass and sold by E. P.
