idealltualifieations and exceptions in the
net ot , lBth of October, 1857, which go
far to deprive a defendant of the benetit
ieettiney held out to him. If he has
stay, or if he has waived it, he
cannot, demand the now stay. Indeed;
this,provision of the recent act, like
iimonYothers to be found in it, promises
to be relief only in name—an empty
shadow ' "and a feeble hope. It will not
prevent the bringing of a single suit,
'told we venture to express the opinion
that, there is not ono case in ten, per
haps not one in fifty, in which the debt-
Pr can comply with ita requirements, in
order to avail himself: of its so-called be-
TAU. Already the courts have decid
ed 'pSint which has deprived the law
d More than httlftspronaise, and every
day 0* iv:legions will arise which jud
pod ,precedeuts will settle against the
debtor.
• The attempt, to relieve the embarrass
rents of debtors by Stay Laws has
shintie proved unfortunate. It was
so in 18-11. Illinois, we believe,
Fag the first State that tried the experi-
naentoind its failure became gaits con-1
;14)%lions. In that State a law was
passed giving to mortgagors twelve
months to redeem mortgaged property
tVoln' the purchaser at sheriffs sale, and
prohibiting the sale from being made
for less than two-thirds of its appraised
Value. The Soprano Court of the
United States, in the case of Bronson
is. Kinzie, reported in 1 Howard 311,
decided that this law so altered tho re
medy of the creditor as to impair the
qbligation of the contract, and was there
fore unconstitutional. Subsequently in
11(...,racken vs.. Hayward, 2 Howard,
(108, they applied this same doctrine to
judgments existing at the time the set
Vas passed. Mr. Justioe BALDWIN, who
delivered the opinion of the court, in
that case, stated the principle on which
the decision was made, to be that "if
an subsequent law (subsequent to the
pldgmeut) affect to diminish the duty
tur impair the right, it necessarily bears
on the obligation of the contract in favor
prone party, to the injury of the other;"
and herfurther observed," that any law,
Which in its operation, amounts to a
denial or.obstruction of the rights se
eitihag by a contract, though professing
to sot only on the remedy, is directly
Obnoxious to the prohibition of the Con
stitution." This emphatic language
494 this sound constitutional doctrine
was again distinctly re-affirmed by the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the, case of Grentlee's Lessees, 3 How
ard, 707. It has also but very recent
ly reoeivsd the approbation of Chief
(Mice Lewis of our own Supreme
to . q.rt;in the case of the Western Saving
Wand vs. the city of Philadelphia, re
ported in one of the current numbers of
the American Luc Journal. Indeed,
!dug ago oar Supreme Court held that
the act of 2uth .Nlarch, 1814, allowing
stay of seven years to debtors who-ob
tainedthe consent of two-thirds of their
Crigritors in numbers and value, was
Oonitatutional only as applied to those

Authoritative decisions of the Supreme
'Court of the United States, we may
properly point out the fact that is still
guarded by the principle that the con
tract of the parties shall not be inter

4A a specimen of legislative tinkering,
the set of 13th Octoher 1657, is a mar
vel and a curiosity: One would think
that our Lawmakers had staltitiod them
itelves against the most familiar priuci
ides of legal science. But we know
that there were sound lawyers, both in
the Senate and the House, who raised
their voices, but in vain, in opposition
to obnoxious features. A happy ig
hermit* of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, and of numberless decisions
smiler it, is tuost complacently exhibited

CONSUMPTION
And all DiAeases of the Lungs arid Throat
area'asitively Curable by Inhalation,
WHICH cenveys the remedies to the
cavities in the lungs through the air
passages, and coming in direct contact with
the disease, neutralizes the tubercular matter,
allays the cough. causes a free and easy ex
pectoration, heals the lungs, purifies the
blood, imparts renewed vitality to the nervous
system, giving that tone and energy so indis
pensable fur the restoration of health. To be
able 4 state confidently that Consumption is
curable by inhalation, is to me a source of
ulklloyed pleasure. It is as much ander the
control of medical treatmeut as any other for
! midable disease; ninety out of every hundred
cases can be cured in the first stages, and fifty
per cent. in the second; but in thrthird stage
it is impossible to save more than five per
cent , for the Lungs are so cut up by the dis
ease as to bid defiance to medical skill.—
iflven, however. in the last atages, Inhalation
affords extraordinary relief to the suffering
attending this fearful scourge, which annually
destroys ninety-five thousand persons in the
United States alone ; and a correct calculation
'shows that of the present population of the
earth, eighty millions are destined to fill the
Consumptive's grave.
Truly the quiver of death has no arrow so
fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has
been the great enemy of life, fur it spares
neither age nor sex, but sweep. off alike the
brave, the beautiful, the graceful and the
gifted. By the help of that Supreme Being
from whom cometh every good and perfect
gilt, I sin enabled to offer to the afilioted_a
',permanent and speedy cure in Consumption.
The first cause of tubercles is from impure
blood. find the immediate effect produced by
their deposition in the lungs is to previmt lbe
free admission of air into the sir cells,which
c.iusea a weakened vitality through the entire
system. Then surely it is more rational to ex
pect greater good from medicines entering the
cavities of the lungs than from those adroit.
ietered through the stomach : the patient 'will
' always find the lungs free-and the breathing•
easy, after Inhaling remedies. Thus, inhala
tion is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts
constitutionally, and with more power and
certainty than remedies administered by the
stomach. To prove the powerful and direct
influence of this mode of ailudnietratien,
chlorofocm inhaled will entirely destroy semi.

nervous aptem, so that a limb may he am
putated without the slightest pain ; inhaling
the ordinary burning gas will destroy Vein a
few hours.
The inhalation if ammonia will rouse the
system when fainting or apparently deed.—
' The odor of many of the medicines is percepti•
ble in the skin a few minutes after being in
haled, and may be Immediately detected to
the blond. A convincing proof of the coned
tutional.effects of inhalation. is - the feet that
sickness is always •produced by breathing foul
air—is not this positive evidence that proper
remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously
administered through the lunge should pro. ,
duce the happiest 'exults During eighteen
years' practice. many thousands suffering

perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber

the various forme of dimes= that simulate con.
sumption, and apply the proper remedies, rare

I the patient should pay toe a visit, whieh

lungs and enable me to prescribe with touch
greater certainty, and then the cure could be .
effected without my seeing the patient again.
