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.

■- " s J said office, this twenty-second day

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.

& 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.

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."

themselves of the great superiority of the
"Herring's Patent Champion," over the de
feated and used-up "inside Iron Door Sala
mander."

of an agent's Store, f 11. A. Lantz,] made dou
blet thickness, (different front those they sell)
to "burn up" or.e of Herring's, (half as thick)
haR met with its true reward. Herring's Safe
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's,
of which over 15,000 are now in uctuel use,
and more than 200 have been tried by fire
without a single loss.

LOTTERIES.
THE well-known Maryland Consolidated
Lotteries, ot which R. FRANCE & Co. are
the managers, are chartered by the state of
Maryland, and a commissioner elected by
the people, who is sworn to superintend and
certify that everything connected with them
is done in a strictly honorable manner, and
that the interists of parties who reside at a
distance are as well protected as if (hoy
themselves were present at the drawing.—
Another fact which the managers call atten
tion to, is, that all persons hnve a leg; I right
to sand order* for ttckots to Maryland, as
lotteries are legalized by'special law in that
state. A lottery is drawn every day of the
month. If no particular class is named, or
ders are filled in the first drawing to take
place after the communication comes to
hand. The prices of tickets vary from 81
to 820. No tickets are, however, sent unless
the money for the same is received wijh the
order. The drawings are upon the principle
of one number on each ticket (after the Ha
vana plan,) and Ternary combination. Prizes
vary in amount from S2O to 8100,000. All
orders for or packages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
all purchasers immediately after it is over.
