t ille law under consideration; nothing is said
t bout 'a'specific penalty for each act prohib

sumptive proof that the law is moral in its
nature, an expansion, in one direction, of
the seventh commandment ?
If ire turn forward to the twentieth chap
ter of 'Leviticus, we shall find some of the
provisions of this law repeated in, the man
ner and form which is, characteristic of jar
c. the third person is used, and
penalties are annexed. If the law, as it is
found in Chap. xviii. is moral, -this is
just what we might expect. The • latter
passage teaches what God deniands of each
individual; the corresponding part of Chap._
XX: teaches that some of the same eats were
to he regarded - and punished as crimes
against the COM MOll wealth, and specifies the
punishment to be inflicted. In like manner
the sixth commandment forbids " the taking
away of our own life, or the life of our ,
neighbor unjustly; or, whatsoever" tendeth
therennto," but the judicial legislation re
lating to the' name subject,. provides for the
punishment ,of overt'aete agninst life only,
'as crimes against the Commonweakb.

law in question in of universal and perpetual

SPECIFICS -CONSUMPTION.
SYRUP OF TEE FOR
HYPOPHOSPHITSS,
Composed of the Rypophosphites - of Lime,
Soda,• Potassa, and Iron.
Tbeeo remediea were brought to notice by Dr. John
Francis Churchill,, en eminent physician of Dublin, and
have attracted much attention from the medical profeesion.
To give a general idea of their aetion, we make the follow
ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer "On the Proximate
Cause and Specific Remedy of Tiabercnlcsis," read before
the Academy of Medicine, Paris, Jury, 18.5 T. Says Dr. O.:—
" The total number of cases of Phthirds treated by me
amounts to thirty-five. .4 II mere either in the second or
third stages of the complaint; that le, they bad either
softened tubercle% or cavities in the lunge: of teen, nine
recovered completely, the physical signs of the disease dis
appearing altogether in eight out of that number; eleven
improved considerably, and fourteen died. The results
will be found to justify the following concluder% :
"The proximate cause, or at all events an eveential con
dition of the tubercular diathesis, is the decrease, In the
system of the phosphorus which ft contains in an oxygeni
zable gate.
'"The specific remedy of the disease consists in the nee of
a preparation of phosphorus, 'uniting the two corditlons,
being in Buell a state tbet it may be directly assimilated,
and at the tame time se the lowest possible degree' of oxy
dation.
"The effects of theta Salts upon the tubercular diathesis
is immediate ; all the general symptoms of the disease dis
appearing wit,. a tepidity which is really rearvelone. If
the pathological deposit produced by the dyreracy in of re
cent formation, if softening has only just set in, and does
not proceed too rapidly, the tubercles are reabsorbed and
disappear. When the et:men - in if hasattained a certain de
gree, it sometimes continues in spite of the treatment; and
the issue of the disease then depends upon au anatomical
condition:of the local lesion, on its extent, and ,upon the
existence or nonexistence of complications. I have made
numerous .attempts to modify the local condition of the
lunge by the inhalation of different substances, but have
never obtained any satisfactory result indeliendent of what
was to be attributed to the. &pada° treatment. The Hypo.a
phosphites are certain prophylactics against tubercular
disease.
"The physiological effects. show these preparations to
'have a two-fold action; on the one hand they increase the
principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes ner
vous force, and on, the other, they elevate the tone of the
Foveral functions Concerned in alimentation and nutrition.
They seem to possess, in the highest degree, all the thera
peutical properties formerly attributed by different ob
servers to phosphorus itself; without any of the danger
which attends the use of that enbstance. The different
'preparations of Flypophosphorus Acid will undoubtedly
occupy one of the meet important places in the Algeria
Idediaz"
The secrets of this treatment being so much in advance
of anything before attained in the management of this
heretofore almost incurable disease,*calls for a thorough
testing of these remedies. With this view, the comanation
bare offered in the form of Syrup has been made.
The beneficial effects of these Salta are not limited to
Consumption alone; they are appropriate remedies in a
large class of affections resulting from love of nervous
force, Dyspepsia, Scrofula. debilitated conditions of Females,
lack of vital action in Children, and where the osseous
system Is defective. Understanding the chemical nature
of these Salts, physicians will be enabled to use them in a
large class cf diseases where they seem to ha indicated.
We have every advantage in mauntectttrieg these arti
cles. The Dry Salts we have been engaged in manufac
turing largely since they were first brought to notice, and
we know them to be strictly reliable. The Syrup is a com
bination of the Salts, containing a little over five grains to
the teaspoonful, and is the moat pleasant term for taking
them.
The large demand nar this article has Induced ne to flz it
as tow es a reasonable profit will permit. We pack it with
care; so that it will goaufely, and all orders will receive
prompt attention. Price.for four ounce bottles, 60 cents;
