SECRETARY'S OFFICE, I IIARRISBURU, June 22, 1857. j Pennsylvanii, ss: I do ceitily that the above and 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 (he same appears on the Jour nals of the two Houses of the General As- I seinbly of this Common wealth lor ihs of 1867. r , Witness my hand and the seal of ihe 8 J said office, this twenty-second day of June, A. D. |BST. A. G. CURTIN, Secretary of the Commonwealth. CONSUMPTION, AND ALL DISEASES OF THE LUNGS ar.it THTOAT aie positively curable by inhalation, which conveys the remedies to the cavities in the lungs through the air pas sages, and coming ill direct contact with the disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter, allays the cough, causes a free and easy ex pecto-iition, heals ihe lung*, purifies the blood, imparts renewed vitality lo the nervous sys tem, giving that tone and energy so indis pensable lor the restorative of health. To be able to state confidently that Consumption is curable by inhalation, is lo me a source of unallnypd pleasure. It is as much under the control ol medical treatment as any other formidable disease; ninety out of every hun dred cases can be cured in the first s'.agps, and fifty per cent, in Ihe s*cor.d; but in the third stage it is impossible to save more than five per cent., for the lungs are so cut up by the disease as to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, however, in the last stages, in halation affords extraordinary relief lo Ihe suffering attendit g this fearful scourge, which annually destroys ninety five thousand per sons in the United Slates 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 ihe quiver of death has no arrow so fatal as Consumption. In all ages it hy* heen the great enemy of life, for it spares neither age nor sex. but sweeps off alike the brave, the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.— By the help of that Supreme Being, from whom eotneth every good and perfect gift, I am enabled to offer to the aflleted a perma nent at.d speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of tubercles is ftoni impure blood, and the immediate effect, produced by their disposition in the lungs, is to prevent the free admission of air into the air ceils, which causes a weakened vitality through the entire system. Then surely it is more rationul to expect greater good from cities entering the cavities of the lungs than Irotn those administered through the stom ach: the patient will always find the lungs free and the breathing easy aflct inhaling remedies. True, inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally, and with more power and certainty titan rem edies administered by the stomach. To prove the povvetlui and direct influence oi this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled ! will entirely destroy sensibility in a tew min utes, paralyzing the entira nervous system, so ! that a limb mat be amputated without the : s'tghtest pain; inhaling the ordinary bunting ; gas will destroy life in a few hours. The inhalation of ammonia will ronse the i system when fainting or apparently dead.— ' The odor of many ol the medicines is per ceptible in the skin a lew minutes af'.er being inhaled, and may be immediately detected i ,11 C.ooJ jl convincing proof of the 1 constitutional effects of inhalation, is ihe fact I that sickness is always produced by breath ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously adminisieied through the lungs, should produce tho most happy results ? Du ring eighteen years' practice, many thous ands. suffering from diseases of the lungs and lhrout, have been 'under my care, and I have affected many remarkable cures, even ■alter the sufferers had been pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a latai disease.— My treatment of consumption is original, and loutided on long experience and a thorough investigation. My perfect acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, &c , enaoles me to 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 and mi croscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve the lungs from the effects of contracted chests; to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, imparl to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to the entire system.

Extract from the Committee's Report on (he 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 perlectly satisfied that all was right.— The day following, the burning took place, under the superintendence of the Committee. After a fair and impartial burning for live hours, the Sufe of Messrs. Evans & Watson was first opened, the Safe being on fire in side, and the contents partially consumed, while the contents ill the Sale of Messrs. Fartels & Herring were in good condition, and no fire inside." Reading, Match 2, 1857. H F FELIX ) (Signed) P. N. COLEMAN, > Com. A. H. PEACOCK. ) And endorsed by .over 50 of ihe best men of Reading.

A. Lanlz.] made dou ble thickness, (different from those they sell) to "burn up" one ol Herring's, (half as thick) has met with its true reward. Herring's Sale could not be burnt, proving conclusively that the only reliuble Sate now made is Huiriug's, of which over 15,000 are now in acluel use, and more than 200 hate been tried by fire without a single loss.

Three Boxes have cured the worst oases of Scrofula. Two boxes have cured Erysipelas. One box always cures the Jaundice. I Tnee boxes are sute 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 Piles. One dose cores the headaohs arising fiom a foul stomach. Strong doses often repeated expel every worm from the body. The should be given to children, who ard always mote or less afHioted with this scourge. As a gen'le Physio they have no equal. One box cures derangement ol the Livaf* Hall a box cures a cold. They purily the blood, and thus strike at the foundation of every disease. As a dinner Pill there it not theit equal id the world. They are purely Vegetable, snd can do no harm, but do accomplish an unaccountable amount of good. Prepared by Dr. JAS. C. AVER, Praotioal and Analytical Chemist, Lowell, Mass.—slid sold by E. P.
