SECRETARY'S OFFICE, I HARRISBURG, June 22, 1857. j Pennsylvania, ss: I 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 appears on the Jour nals ol the two Houses of the General As sembly of this Commonwealth for the session of 1857. r L s i Witness my hand and the seal of the - ' "J said office, this twenty-second day of June, A.

CONSUMPTION, AND ALL JISEASES OF THE LUNGS nrd THTOAT ate positively curable by inhalation, which conveys the remedies to the cavities in the lungs through the air pas sages, ond coming in direct contact with the disease, neutralizes the tubercular mailer, allays the rough, causes a free and easy ex pecio'otion, heals the lungs, purifies the blood, imparls renewed vitality to tho nervous sys tem, giving that lone and energy so indis pensable for the restorative of health. To be able to slate confidently that Consumption is eurabla by inhalation, is to me.asource of wnaUpvcil pleasure, it is as m licit VndertWT j contfrit of medical treatment as any other i formidable disease; ninety out of every hun dred ca-cs can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per cent, in the second; hut in the third stage it is impossible to save more than five per cent., for the luugs are so cut tip by the dispasa as to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, however, in the lost stages, in halation affords extraordinary relief to the suffering attending this tcatful 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 j fined to fill the consumptive's grave. | Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so ! : fatal as Consumption. In ull ages it has been I the great enemy ol life, for it spares neither age nor sex, but sweeps oflf alike the brave, | the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.— j By the help of that Supreme Being, from ! whom cometli every good and perfect gift, 1 j am enabled to oiler to the afilcled a perma nent atfd speedy euro in Consumption. The j first cause of tubercles is from impure ' , blood, arid tbe immediate effect, produced i by their disposition ill the lungs, is to prevent | the free admission of air into the air cells, ' which causes a weakened vitality through I the entire system. Then surely it is more i rational to expect gren'er good from rr.edij ! cines entering the cavities of the lungs than 1 Irom those administered through the storrt | ach; the patient will always find tho lungs ' free and the breathing easy after inhaling | remedies. True, inhalation is a local I remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally, and with more power and certainty titan rem edies administered by the stomach. To prove I the powetlul and direct influence ol this ! mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a few min utes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so that a limb may be amputated without the shghlest pain ; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in u few hours. The inhalation of ummouiawill rouse the system when fainting or apparently dead.— The odor of many of the medicines l4s|Uti-- cepdble in the skin a few minutes after being inhaled, and may be immediately delected in the blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is always produced by breath ing foulir. Is not lit is positive evidence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously administered through the lungs, should produce the mo6t happy results? Du ring eighteen years' practice, many thous ands, suffering from diseases of the lungs ar,d throat, have been under my care, and I have affected many remarkable cures, even alter the sufferers had been prnnonnced in the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a latal disease. j My Ireutmetit of consumption is original, and founded on long experience and a thorough investigation. My perfect acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, &c., enables me to 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 in connection with ccrtajtf pathological and mi cioscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve the lungs from the effects of contracted chests; to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy and lone to lite entire system.

The undersigned, members of the Commit tee, do respectfully report, that we saw the two Safe* originally agreed upon by Farrels & Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side by side ir. a furuucn, viz: The Sale in nse by the Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Read . ing Railroad Company, in his office at Read . ing, manufactured by Farrels k Herring, and the Safe in use by H. A. I.antz, in his store, manufactured by Evans & Watson, and put in books and papers precisely alike. The fire was started at 8j o'clock, A. M., ' and kept up until four cords of green hickory, 1 two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood were entirely consumed, the whole under the superintendence of the subscribers, mem bers of the Committee. The Safes were then . cooled off with water, after which they were > opened, agd the books and papers taken out by the Committee and sent to H. A. La/ttz's store for public examination, after they were first examined and marked by the Commit tee. The books and papers taken from the 1 Safe manufactured by Evans St Watson were but slightly affected by the intense heat, while those taken from the Sale manufac tured bv Farrels & Herring were, in out judg t ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those taken from Evans k Watson's Safe.

H-S-lt'-L- 1 ll&ii THE recent trials at Read- Ifefflit -Ogatl'Hg have endorsed the cur- of public opinion, and confirmed the verdict of more than 300 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 26th of February all the members of the Committee met to witness the Safes and books and papers, (placed in them) and were perlectly satisfied that all was right.— The day following, the burning took place, under the superintendence of the Committee. Altera 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 Safe of Messrs. Farrels & Herring were in good condition, anil no fire inside." Reading, March 2, 1857. H. F. FELIX, I (Signed) P. N. COLEMAN, J Com. A. H.

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

A. Lintz,] made dou ble thickness, (different from those they sell) to "burn up"or.eol Herring's, (half as thick) has met with its Hue reward. Herring's Sate could not be burnt, proving conclusively that the only reliable Safe now made is Herring's, of which over 15,000 are now in actual use, and more than 200 have been fried by fire without a single loss.

THE UREA I EST MEDICAL DISCOVERY OF THE AGE, IS AYER'S CATHARTIC PILLS. They don't help complaioU, but they cure them. One box has cured dyspepsia. Three Boxes have cured the worst cases of Scrofula. Two boxes have cured Erysipelas. One box always cures the Jaundice. I Tnee boxes are sure to cleanse the system from boils—often less than one does it. Two boxes have completely cured the worst of ulcers on the legs. Small doses seldom fail to cure the Pile*. One dose cures the headache arising from a foul stomach. Strong doses often repeated expel every worm from the body. The should be given to children, who ard alwaye mora or less afflicted with thid scourge. As a gen'le Physic they have no equal. One box cures derangement ol the Livefi Hall a box cores a cold. I hey purity the blood, and thus strike af the foundation of every disease. As a dinner Pill there ia not their equal in the world. They are purely vegetable, end can do no harm, hut do accomplish an unaccountable amount of good. Prepares by Dr. JAS. C. AVER, Practical and Analytical Chemist, Lowell, Mass.—and snld by E. P.
