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.

Report of the Committee appointed to

Safes at Reading, Feb. '2lth, 1857.
HEADING, March 4tb.
The undersigned, members of the Commit
tee, do respectfully report, that we sew the
two Safes originally agreed epon by Farrele
& Herring and Evans & YVatson, placed side
by side ir. a furnace, viz: The Sale in use by
the Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Head
ing Hailroad Company, in his office at Head
ing, manufactured by Farrels & Herring, and
the Safe in uae by 11. A. Lante, in his store,
manufactured by Evans & Watson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started at 8| 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 ihe subscribers, mem
bers of the Committee. The Safes were then
cooled of! with water, after which they were
opened, agd the books and papers taken out
by the Committee and sent to H. A. Lamx'a
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 Evaus&t Watson were
but slightly affected by the intense beat,
while those taken from the Safe manufac
tured bv Farrels & Herring were, in our judg
.Umaaetl tuny fifteen per cent.
than those taken from Evans & Watson's
Safe.

that, but he will also do them up in the best
order, upon the lowest terms.
His shop is at the old stand, (too wel

at at! times be found, seated npon the bench
of repentance,steadily drawing out thefArend
of atiliction.hopeing it may in the end prove
advantageous to him and his customers. Ht

that poor, alHioted tailors must live, or they
can't be expected to work. Therefore Wheat,
Rye Corn, Oats, Potatoes, and with all now

I THE recent trials at Read

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."

tailed signally in accidental fires in Philadel

ot an agent's store, (11. 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.

LOTTERIES.
THE well-known Maryland Consolidated
Lotteries, ot which R. FRANCE & Co. are
the tnanngers, are chartered by the state ol
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 ol parties who reside at a
distance are as well protected as if they
themselves were present at the drawing.—
Another fact which the managers call atten
tion to, is, that all persons have a leg-l right
to send orders for tickets to Maryland, at
lotteries are legalized by special law in thai
slate. 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 *be communication comes to
hind. The prices of tickets vary from SI
to S2O. No tickets are, however, sent unless
th e money (or the same is received with 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 SIOO,OOO. All
orders for tickets or packages will receive
prompt attention, and the drawing mailed to
1 all purchasers immediately alter it is over.
