We have on hand a letter of this gentleman

THE STATE TICKET
. We publish this morning a couple of arti
cles,extracted from cotemporary jm.irnals, re
lating to Judge Porter and Westley Frost,Esq,
the Democratic candidates for Supreme Judge
and Canal Commissioner at the coming fall
election. This ticket should, in ouropinion,
receive the warm and hearty support of every
Democrat and en every Democratic journal in
the State. Immediately after the ticket was
nominated, we placed the names of the gen
tlemen who compose it at the head of the
columes of the Post. It is the Democratic
ticket, regularly nominated by a legally con
stituted convention of the Democratic party,
and is therefore entitled to the undivided
support of the party. It matters not that the
convention which made the nominations adop
ted a platform of principles relative to the
Kansas issue upon which Democrats honestly
differ. The right of individual opinion—the
right of each man to adopt or reject that
platform according to his conscientious belief
—no one has a right to dispute. This is
another, and an entirety different matter from
the question of supporting the ticket. The
Democratic party is an ancient and honors.-
tie institution founded upon great - princi
ples of With and right, which have been per
petuated. from generation to generation. In
its history it has frequently occurred that
questions have arisen upon which the mem
bers of our great political organization have
•differed in opinion, but upon the great funda
mental principles of the party, Democrats do
not differ. Where all are Democrats alike,
all alike are bound to support a ticket nomi
nated by the party according to its regular
usages. A difference of opinion upon en iso
lated question is not a sufficient reason for ex
communicating from ties of party those who
have been all their lives Democrats, and who
have ever acted with us for the general good
of the country, We may reserve the !leg, to
eschew any platform which we do net like, but
this does not carry with it the right to throw
aside all party ties while a d'sp,ted queAtion
IE4 at issue, and thus give aid and comfort to
the enemy.
We have been consulted by several of our
country friends of the editorial fraternity about
support'ng the ticket. They object to the
resolutions adopted by the convention—they
are in a word—anti-Lecompton. No man
will pretend to question their right of judg
ing for themselves upon this question, but in
sdvocating
. or , opposing the ticket nominated
by the Convention, the question is not " Le
compton," or " anti-Lecompton," it is" De
mocracy," or " anti-Democracy." The Kan
sas issue will soon be settled,and we hope
hono - ra,bly and satisfactorily to all parties
but differences among Democrats as to
how it should be settled, are not Of
sufficient importance—no matter how great
that importance may beto cause a dissever ,
mice of the - Democratic party. We therefore
say to all who have asked ns, and to all others
who may be halting between two opinions—
support the ticket—work for it, and elect it.
This is the tine Democratic course. 'Take
such grout d as you may deem right on the
" Kansas question," which will soon be among
the things which were—but do not by any
lukewarmness in support of the regularly nom.
lusted ticket, place yourseg in a wrong position
on the great Democratic question.
Those of our. Democratic brethren who
disagree with the Kansas policy expressed
, by
the resolutions of the Harrisbnig Convention,
are much in the same position as we ourselves
were last fall upon the Railroad question in
our own county. Our County Convention
passed a series of resolutions upon the mat
ter of taxation for railroad purposes, to which
we could not conscientiously subscribe,becanse
we believed the question was one of con
tract, to be decided by the Court, and not by
the people. We escLwed the resolutions, yet
supported:and voted for every man upon the
County ticket, because it was the regularly
nominated Democratic ticket. It made no dif•
ference to us as a Democrat,whether the norniti
nees upon that ticket agreed or disagreed with
us upon this single issue. The men nomina
ted were all known to us a- Democrats, and as
such we voted for them. Upon the same
principle every Democrat in the State should
now support the ticket which the State Con
vention of the party have nominated. Ask
yourself the simple question "is it the Demo.
cratic ticket.?"—if yea, support it as you have
eve, done the nominations of your party. We
ho'd this to be the true ; Democratic policy,
and upon it we intend to act, and to the memo,
hers of the party throughout the State, we
say "go thou and do likewise."
THE -TONNAGE TAX-..THE PITTS.
I.3URGII,DOARD OF TRADE
The institution known as the « Pittsburgh
-Board of Trade," has certainty taken a strange
position upon the question of the repeal of
this impost upon the trade of Pennsylvanie,
and- is taking still more strange measures te
influence the action of the Legislature upon
this question. At a meeting held oti Satur
day last, there was a good deal of talk by differ
ent individuals in 'the same strai n as their late
report.. A communication from Senator Gaz
zaai informed those present that an informal
session of the Senate is proposed to be held on
Wednesday, (to mo row,) to hear outside ar
gmnents upon the questioe of repealing this
tax. This, although a strange proceeding in
legislation, we have no objection to, but let the
members of the Board of Trade pay the 'expellee
of this boring. The appeal whiz') they make to
titeCity Councils to send on a " strong and elo
quent champion," ought not, and we presume
will not, meet the views of the tax , rithlen
masses. The city Treasury is empty, and the
holders of warrants which they cannot 0 ,311
at fifteen per cent discount will object to ply
ing a large fee to a "distinguished champion,"
whom the . Chronicle points out as the eame
individual who is opposed to the payment of
any and all our Railroad obligations.
For our own pa - twe are ;willing to trust
the interests of our City and County in the
hands .f Senators Wilkins and Gazzatn, and.
Messrs. Irwin and Foster ? : our City, represepr, .
tatives , If these distinguishe t gentlemen are
not sufficiently informed upon this question

atter,,rill that has been said and written upon
it, they are more stupid than we take them to
be. " We are willing to trust the matter to
their wisdom and judgment.
The general tenor of the proceedings of the
Board of Trade as well as the leading editori
al in yesterday's Chronicle must convince any
man that the people, for whom the Legislas
ture acts, take very little interest in opposi
tion to this repeal. The Board of Trade, as if
themselves conscious of the untenability of
their position, ''call upon Hercules for help,"
but they will find it up-hill work to convince
sensible men that a special tax is right, for such
this tonnage tax is.
,ii ARCH 81.1. 1858
—Since itic above was in type, the City Conn
have held 3 meeting, and the communication
from the Board of Trade above referred to, was
lab! before them. The result appears to he that
the representatives of the oity do not seem to
think the matter to be of so great importance as
the Bard of Trade--at !east so we judge from
theiO.aetion,
In Select Council a resolution was offered to
send a committee to Harrisburg, to represent the
c'ty at this proposed informal legislative meet
ing, and appropriating $l5O to pay expenses.
After it Variety of speeches in which the merits
itnil demerits of the Tonnage Tax were learnedly
set forth, the resolution was negatived by a ma
joriiY of 9 to g, find a resolution to suspend the
rules was lost by the same vote.
A motion was then made to send a lawyer to
Harrisburg, to epink against the Tonnage Tax,
but thiS met with no favor, and so the Select
Connell finally ended the whole matter by
passing a simple resolution "requesting our Sen
eters and Representatives to vote and nse their
influence against the repeal oi the tonnage tax,"
but were not disposed to expend a dollar for a
purpose which it is pretended is so vt - Wly im
pt.:tient to the " State of Pittsburgh," but in
which the whole State and the business public
of the ‘Vestnn country is indeed interested to a
vast extent for repeal. So the "abler advo
cates" than those we have now at Harrisburg,
which Senator Gazzam asks for, will not be paid
to go down as " lobby members" of an informal
meeting of the Legislature.
We are glad that Counifils have the good sense
to entrust the matter to those Representatives
whom the people have elected to attend to their
interests at the State Capital.. We have every
confidence they will do their duty ably, notwith
standing Mr. Gazzam's left handed compliment
in asking for "abler advocates." The people
have not so poor an estimate of their delegation
at Harrisburg as our Republican Senator ap
pears to have. The Common Council concurred
in the request made to the members of the L
gis
-lature, without a word of discussion. From the
above proceedings, the Legislature will learn
that the masses of the people of our city are
not., by any means, either interested about or
bitterly Apposed to the repeal of the Tonnage
Tax.
The lion. Charles R. Buckalew, Chairman
of the. Committee on Finance, of the Senate,
has introduced a bill to establish a Bureau of
. ;` . RairrOad Statistics," to' which all the rail
road companies in the Commonwealth shall
make return in answers that will exhibit the
actual state of their affairs ; these returns to
be arranged and embodied in one compact
record, and reported to the Legislature. In
speaking of this bill the Pennsylvania, re
faults that, among the different statistical
document now annually published in several
of the States east and south of Pennsylvania,
there is not one that exceeds in interest the
book of railroad statistics printed annually by
the State of New York, embracing important
facts concerning the many railroads of that
State. To ascertain the essential truths ne
cessary to the formation of an intelligent opin
ion as to the condition of the finances and the
traffic of a New York railroad, one has only
to turn to the compendious Railroad record
kept by the State ; while in this State such
information concerning certain of our roads,
is wholly inaccessible, for the reason that
some of our Companies make no disclo
sure, to the public, of their condition. And
to this practice of secrecy is to be attributed
the fact that, while Pennsylvania abounds
with the elements that make States great and
prosperous, it is sometimes d:fficalt to demon
strate her real position, because of the indiffer
ence heretofore shown by her rulers and her
citizens for statistical information. Now, how
ever, it would appear that, on one important
subject, this indifference is to be abated, and
that a way is abbot to be provided whereby
our vast railroad investments may be tabulat
ed and made intelligible to all parties in in
terest within and without the State; for we.
cannot believe, since the measure has been
introduced into the Legislature, that it will
be permitted to languish on the files, but we
do believe that the passage of Mr. Bnckalew's
bill, and the establishment, under it, of a De
partment of Railroad Statistics, will meet a
public want, and result in valuable practical
service to the people.
At two o'clock P. M. to-day, the Stockhold
ers of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago
Railroad Company meet at the Merchants'
Eichange, in this city, to receive the annual
report of the Board of Directors, and to trans
act such business as may be deemed of impor
tarce to the Company. To-morrow an elec.%
tion for Directors for the , ensuing year will be
held at the same place. From what we learn,
we presume the old Board will be re-elected,
excepting one or two, who have signified their
wish to retire. On the organization of the
new Board, it is, we believe, the universal
expectation that the old officers—President,
Vice President and Secretary—will be re
elected.
We have received from Hon. David Ritchie,
several Public Documents for oar Newspaper
Library. We thank him for his kind atten
tion.
It is stated that there were at Fort Laramie,
on the 26th of January, 1,932 head of
draught oxen, in goad condition, and that,
in pursuance of instructions from the War
Department, a wagon train, consisting ot 110
wagons, was, to start from that post on the
`2oth inst., laden with provisions and clothing
for Col. Johnson's army. Each wagon wilt
carry 5,500 pounds weight, and it is thought
the train will reach Camp Scott before the
middle of May, and in good time to supply
the army with everything they need, prior to
the commencement of the march on Salt
Lake City.
Ao the passenger train on the Central Ohio
Railroad was crossing a bridge a low miles east of
Newark, last week, the bridge gave way and the
entire train was precipitated into the galley below.
The train was onnsiderably broken up, but fortun
ately no lives were lost.
Miss Ann Cross, of Philadelphia, was suddenly
killed near Rose Point in Lawrence county, by being
thrown from a buggy. It appears that she had been
attending public worship in the Presbiteriar. Church,
inp Potteraville, and was returning home with Mr.
Joseph Akin, a relative, in whose family sb,: was re
siding. The horse became unmanageable—ran off
and upset the buggy, causing, her death instantly.—
Mr. Akin was considerably out about the head, but
not seriously. A little bOY of Mr. Akin's, about
three years old, was badly bruised and bad three of
his fingers on the left hand out off.

justice Port ZLhe
The Easton Sentinel gives the following sketch
of this gentleman :
For Judge of the Seprenat3 Court, we hays
Hon. William A. Porter, of Philadelphia, who
has occupied a seat en the Bench since January
last, by virtue of an appointment from Gov.
Packer. The selection is an admirable one. He
is the oldest son of Dayid R Porter, Es-Gov
eruor of this State, and was born in Hunting
don, Pa., in May, 1821. Having received his
preparatory education in that place, then under
the charge of Rev. George Junkin, D. D., and
went through a thorough college course, gradu
ating with the highest honors in a class of unu
sual merit, he then entered the office of his un
cle, Hon James M Porter, L L. D., of this
borough, and was admitted to the bar of this
county. Immediately upon his admission he
went to. Philadelphia and settled there, and for
HOMO months conducted the criminal prosecu
tion there as Deputy Attorney General, with sin
gular ability for so young a man On the de
eels° of Henry Morris, Esq., we think in the fall
of 1842, he was appointed Sheriff of the city and
county of Philadelphia,' and served as such until
the next general election, a period of about eleven
months. He conducted the business of that
office with great credit to himself and benefit to
the public, lopping off all the corruption of its
officers—preventing the extortion or taking of
illegal fees—paying over all moneys coming into
his hands and conducting the whole of his busi
ness in so exemplary a manner, that on retiring
from office, a voluntary letter of thanks, signed
by nearly three hundred members of the Phila
delphia Bar, with John Sergeant and Horace
Binney at their head, was tendered to him for
official fidelity. He then resumed the practice
of the law, rising and growing daily in his pro
fession, until he has attained a_ standing as a
lawyer, at least equal to any gentlemsn of his
age in Pennsylvania. To show the estimation
in which he is held by his fellow citizens he was
nominated by the Convention, on . the first bal
lot, be an almost unanimous vote.
Our Candidate for Canal Commissioner.
The Genius of Liberty has the following notice
of lion Westley Frost, - our popular candidate for
Canal Commissioner, which we commend to the
attention of all those who are .desirous of cast
ing their ballots for an honest man who has truly
been the architect of his own fortune. The
Genius says : " Our county has been honored by
the recent Democratic State Convention iu the
nomination of one of her most worthy citizens
for the important office of Canal Commissioner.
As aiptiblic man, Westley Frost is:somewhat
known to the people of the Commonwealth, and
we propose to give a brief sketch of his private
life and character. Like most of the leading
men of the age, .he arose from the humblest
walks of like. In his youthful days there was
no boy on the play grounds who could say with
truth that he was poorer in this world's g6ods
than Westley Frost. At an early age he was
bound by indentures to the saddling business.
In his intercourse with his companions and his
deportment to his employer he gave promise of
those sterling qualities of head and heart, which
after years commended the man to the confidence
and esteem of his fellow-citizens: So correct was
he in his deportment, and so true to the instincts
of his nature, that even in hie boyhood days 'his
word was considered as good as hie bond with ap
proved security.' He served his time faithfully
and honestly, agreeably to his indentures, until
coming of age, when, according to the customs,
he received his 'freedom suit,' accompanied by
the kindest wishes of his employer and family.
Of industrious habits, be immediately, upon be
ing freed from his indenture; commenced work
as a journeyman, and by frugality and economy
saved from his earnings a comfortable mainte
nano°. Ambitious and energetic, he soon set up
business for himself. tie applied himself indus
triously and attentively to carrying on his trade
and as he grew in age, he grew also in the confi
dence and affections of his neighbors. Trained
in OM school of adversity, his puPtical senti
ments were very naturally those of the Demo
cratic party, and he adhered to them with all
the tenacity of his nature. Having made him
self known to the people of his 'county by his
discreet and tfficient support of Democratic
principles and usages, he was nominated by his
party in the stirring times of 1844 for the office
of Sheriff. Re was triumphantly elected over
the candidate if the Whig party, who was a broth
er-in-law, and one of the most popular men in
the opposite ranks As Sheriff of his county,
no man- everi'eft a batter record than Westley
Frost. Upon retiring from the office of Sheriff
he returned to his home in Brownsville, and re
sumed work at his trade. He continued to work
at hie trade, devoting, when occasion required it,
a portion of hie time and attention to the sucoes-t
of his party, until the spring of 1853, when ho
was appointed by ,President Pierce, Marshal of
the Western pietriot of Pennsylvania. Hero his
abilities were called ioto a more extended field,
and he proved himself fully equal to the high
duties devolved upon him. It was in this office
that he came in contact with his fullow-ctitizens
of different sections of the State, and by his
courtesy, affability and dignified deportment
made himself a State popularity.
The INlare_lal of the Westeru District he Was
all that could be expected of a political officer.
honest, faithful, and efficient in the discharge of
his duties, courteous and dignified in his inter
course with his fellow-citizens He held this of
fice four years, and at the expiration of his com
mission returned to Brownsville, and again re
sumed work at his trade. Indeed, when Mar
shal of the District, it was not an uncommon
thing to see him at work in his shop; for at inter
vals of relief from his public duties, he invariably
put on his apron and went to work at his trade
He is at this time engag , d at his trade inßrowns
vine, under the sign of Westley Frost, saddle and
harness maker, and when his friends call to see
him, they are kindly received in his shop, where
they find him with his coat off and apron on, as
intently and industriously engaged in working
at his trade, as he was in the earlier and less
fortunate days of his life. In addition to being
an industrious mechanic, Westley Frost is a high.
alluded, honorable gentleman, and no man stands
higher than he in the estimation of his fellow-ci
time of all parties. His nomination for Canal
Commissioner was a compliment worthily be
stowed, and will be responded to at the polls, by
the people of the South-Western counties, in the
most emphatic terms of approbation.
The liGxpedltlon to Utah--Au Immense
Train.
We have made mention that Messrs. Majors
and Russel, the contractors to transport the ar
my stipples to Salt Lake, have decided on int k
ing Nebraska City the starting point. The car
avan, when it shall have fully fixed up and start
ed, will be one of the most imposing and exten
sive that the Western world has ever witnessed.
The Nebraska News gives us a skeleton idea of
its appearance—two thousand wagons, each
hauling fifty hundred pounds of freight, sixteen
thousand head of cattle, two acres of ox-yokes
to hitch them up with, two thousand ox-driven=. ;
and th- nit proceeds to imagine what a grand
opera the cavalcade would make;
"Suffice it to say that a thousand whips are
cracking, sixteen thousand tails are daily snap
ping the flies of June away, two thousand dri
vers shrieking, eight thousand wagon-wheels
squeaking, all eager to join the Anti-Mormon
fray, when, at the closing reoitive, a herd of buf
faloes and six hundred Indians break in upon
the train, and a general stampede ensues, then,
and not till then, do wo show our true musical
strength."
Another regulation is alluded to as being a
cardinal thing in this expedition. The Nell'B
says:
"Majors and Russel will hire nor employ nu
man who tasteth, toucheth or handleth strong
drink. We shall, therefor, expect to see two
thousand teamsters of temperanoo principles
and habits- a spectacle of moral grandeur whloh
we believe, no human 53 a has ever yet rested
upon."
Each man, also, is to he provided with a El
bit) and hymn book ; so that they shall nr,t
want for the food of life while on their dreary
journey.

On motion of Mr. Foster it was placA cn the calen

41 votes being polled, only 22 were necessary for a
choice. Mr. Fitzpatrick received 28, Mr. Fess , -nder,
of Maine, 12; Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, 1.
Mr. Slidell and Mr. Dixon conducted Mr. Fitz
pntrick to the chair. After his taking the oath of
office, the Senate proceeded to business.
Numerous memorials and priva:o bills of an unim
portant character were presented. The consideration
of the Minnesota bill was then resumed.
Mr. Hunter was in favor of the amendment giv
ing one representative.
Messrs. Pugh and Fitch were in favor of three, or at
least two. The latter complimented the law-abiding
dud industrious character of the people.
Mr. Collamer expressed himself in favor of one.
Mr. Simmons tuought there should have been two,
provided the fraction permitted a second.
Mr. Trumbull would base the population on th

population and ninety thousand of a Presidential

Mr. Polk argued strongly for three, her census tie
ing imperfect and if lowa is imperfectly represented
there is no reason why Minnesota should be als,.
He would move an amendment that Minnesna ho
allowed three representatives, that a new censui be
taken and proper pay given to census take.s to have
it correct.
Mr. Brown, of Mississppi said he would support
Mr. Wilson's amendment, but not on party grotiudq.

Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, made an ineffectual .tioi
to introduce a resolution providing tor the appoint
meat of a select committee to report the heat wodu
of taking the census for 1860.
The House went into Committee 01 the Wholo on
the-Deficiency bill.
Mr. Hill commenced a speech en the Kansas LW.
He was satisfied with the legality of the Leeoinp
ton constitution, its framers having discharged their
duly with signal ability. As a Southern man, he
never expected that Kansas would be a lavo Stato,
and, therefore, he thought the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise unwise, and calculated to produce seri
ious results.
Mr. Ready argued in favor of Lecompton, and
justified the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
Mr. Gooch opposed Lecompton, which was not the
will of the people, but Will polluted by fraud and
violence, and could not be amended before eight
yeare, without a revolution.
Mr. Wade said the present excitement -gre l / 2 out
of the confliot between tho free and slave States.
When the two are reconciled there will be a political
millenium.
Mr. Taylor, of Louisiana, argued to show the
superiority of capital over labor, contending that the
South was the only portion of the country in which
white labor receives due honer.
Mr. Olin, of New York, said that the Kansas.
Nebraska bill was nsver designed to recognize pop
ular sovereignty. It was the machinery in the
hands of corrupt men to control the affairs of the
territory irrespective of the will of the people.
He maintained the right of Congress to govern the
territories.
WASIIINGTON, March 29.—The Navy department
has received despatches from Lt. Craven, dated Pis-
Sißdi, February 17th and 22d. They state teat the
expedition had returned to the Gulf of Darien for
want of provisions. Considerable sickness prevailed,
and Surgeon O'Hara was left at Pississi to attend

The Democratic Caucus at Washington.
WASHINGTON, March 27, 1858..
Mr. Cochrane issued a notice this morning for
a Democratic caucus to be held in the hall of
the house at half past seven o'clock this eve
ning.
At the appointed time between sixty and sev
enty members were present. Mr. Cochrane was
called to the chair, and Mr. Seward, of Georgia,
was appointed secretary.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, stated the object of
the meeting to be to confer together with Le
compton and anti-Leoompton Democrats, and Bee
if some arrangement could not be made to unite
the discordant elements. He was ready to hear
any suggestion from those gentlemen upon this
Kansas difficulty. He had never yet been able
to ascertain what those gentlemen desired. He,
for one, was for unity and harmony, and desired
above all things to preserve the party intact;
and he believed it could be done if a proper
spirit was manifested. •
Mr. English, of Indiana, then offered the fol
lowing resolution:—
Resolved, That a committee be appointed by the
chair, to consist of ten Lecompton and ten anti-Le
compton democrats, whose daty it shall be to confer
together, and ascertain whether anything can be
done to seen-c harmony and concert of action in ref
erence to the question of admitting Kansas into the
Union;
and that said committee report the result of
their deliberations to this caucus, for its considera
tion, onquesday evening next, at S o'clock to which
time the caucus will adjourn.
Mr English said he was not in the habit of
obtruding his opinions, but he felt that great
responsibilit, rested upon every Democratic rep
resentative. He concurred in what Mr. Ste
phens had said in reference to the importance of
promoting harmony in the Democratic family.
He liked the conciliatory spirit of his speech,
and deeply regretted that such a fraternal spirit
had not been earlier manifested. If it had been,
much of the existing trouble and bad feeling
would have been avoided.. lie spoke of the dan
ger to the Democratic party likely to grow out
of this question if it were not settled, and urged
the committee from each side to meet on terms
of equality, and as me tibers of the same Demo
cratic household to counsel together. Good might
come of it ; and, at all events, if no agreement
could be effected, matters would he uo worse
than they now are. He could scarcely think c f
a greater calamity than the division and over
throw of the Democratic party, and the eleva
tion to its place of one purely sectional. The
quel-tion with him was not so much what ought
to hive been done with this question originally,
as what could be done with it in the position to
which it has drifted.
The resolution was then adopted, and the
caucus adjourned to meet on Tuesday evening
next.

Ale LIVER COMPLAINT.—This dangerous and often
fatal disease had long baffled the skill of the most eminent
physicians, when the discovery of Dr. At'Lane's Liver Pills
solved the difficulty, and presented to the world the Great
Specific, which has attained such wide-spread celebrity fur
its certainty of cure. This successful remedy was the resit t
of many years' study, in which the symptoms were nanow•
ly observed, and arc thus described by the Doctor, himself:
Slillstonts of a Diseased Liver.—Pain in the right side,
and sometimes In the left, under the edge of the ribs—the
patient being rarely able to lie on the left; pain sometimes
under the shoulder-blade, frequently extending to the tup
of the shoulder—often mistaken for rheumatism in the arm;
sickness of stomach, and loss of appetite; bowels mostly
costive, but sometimes alternate with lax; dull, heav y fleLl•
itiOn la the back part of the head; loss of memory, with
uneuiiiuoes ofliaving neglected something ; sometimes dry
cough; weariness and debility; nervous irritability; feet cold
or burning, and prickly sensation of Skin; low spirits, las
situde, with disinclination to exorcise, although satisfied it
would be beneficial. In fact, patient distrusts every remedy."
Have you any, or all of these symptoms? If so, you will
find a certain remedy in Dr. AFLane's Pills. Prepared by
Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh.
gZr- Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. 111'LANE'S
CELEBRATED LIVER' PILLS, manufactured by FLEMING
BRCS., of Pittsburgh, Pa. There ate other Pills purporting
to be Liver Pills, now before the public. Dr. M'Lane's genuine
Liver Pills, also his celebrated Vermlfnge, can now be had at
