    PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Message from the Presulent to Congress
on the Contest in OubO.
WAsurts:ceroN, June 13,—The Presi
dent sent the following message to Con
gress this afternoon :
To the Senate and House (f Reprcsen•
(olives ann eel message to Con
gress at '(lie` beginning of its present
session, I referred to the contest , which
had then for more than a year existed
iu the island of Cuba, between a por
tion of it inhabitants and the
invent and Spain, and to the feelings'!
-and sympathies of the people and gov- , ,
ernment of the United States 'for OW
. people of Cuba, as for all peoples strug
gling for liberty and self-government,
' and said that the coldest has at no time
assumed conditions 'which amount to
• war in the sense of •internatkinal
or which would show the. ex t istenee of
,a de facto political organization. of. the .
insurgents sulllcient to justify a recog
nition of their belligerency.
— During the six mOnths have(
passed sine° the date of that. message,
the condition of the insurgents has not
improved, and the insurrection itself,
although not subdued, exhibits no signs
61 tuiVatice, but, seems to he confined to
au *regular system ofhostilities, ear
ried on by small Mid illy armed bands
of men, roaming without eoneentratiOn
through the woods and sparsely . popu
lated regions of the island, attacking
'from endued' convoys and small bands
of troops, and burning plantations and
estates of those not sympathising . with
their cause.
But if the iesurrection has not gained
-ground, it is equally true that Spain
• has not surpressed it. The climate,
&Settee and the occasional bullet; have
marked destruction among the soldiers
of Spain, and although 'the F;panish
authorities have possessed ofevery
t sea
portland every town on he Island, they/
have not been able to subdue the hos- ;
tile feeling which has driven a consid4
enable umnber of the native inhabitants
' of the Island to arnica resistance against
Spain, dud still leads them to endure
;dile dangers and privations of the roam
ing life of a guerrilla.
• On either side the colitest heel'
condut'ted, Mid is sl ill carried en, with
a lamentable disregard of human life
anti the ustrges• and practices which
modern civilization 1111.4 piescritted in
Mitigation of the necessary horrors Of
war. The torch Of the 1-ik!ttniard and.
the Cuban are alike busy in carrying
destruction over fertile regions. Mur
derous and revengeful decrees are issued
anti executed by both parties. Count
Valmase l la 'and colonel 8011, on the
part of Spain, have each startled, hu
manity and aroused the indignation of
the eivilized world hp the exeeution .
. each of a score of prisoners at, a time;
while lieneral Quesadu, the -Cuban
Chief, coolly and with api.arreet an
concionsuess of aught else than a 'wiper
act, has admitted the slaughter, by his
own deliberate order,' in one tiny, of
upwards of six lintith.ed anti fifty pris
viten of war. A summary trial, with
few if an t y escapes nom eenvietiett, Ads
lowed by immediate execution, iM the
fate of the arrested on either shle,
suspicion of infidelity to the canse of
the party making the attest.
Whatever may he the f-Iympatibies of
the people or of the ( tovern wee Lief the
United States for tilt-cause ol,Pets for
which a part of the people et Culla are
understood to have put themselves in
armed resistance to the I fevere meet of
Spain, there-can be no just, 5,5-wit:ally
in a coullict carried on by bet h.,parties
alike in such a barbarous violation of
the rules ofeivilized nations; and with
such continued outrages upon the plain
est principles of humanity, we cannot
discriminate in our censure of their
mode of conducting , a contest., between
the Spaniards anti Cubans. Ellett com
mit the 'same •attrocities and entrage
alike the established rules of war.
The properties of many of our eitiVAMIS
have been destroyed
_or enthargeed.'
The lives of several have bveti
Heed, and thelilterties of of ber.4 . have
been restrained. In ever . '' I hat
has come to the knowledge of the t tov
erument, an early and earnest demand
for reparation and idetnedy has been
made, and the m ost emphatie Fenton
stranee has been presented against the
manner in which the st rife is eondeeted,
and against the'Jeehless disregard of
human life, the molten destruettee of
material wealth, and the cruel disre
gard of the established rules of el v li zed
warfare.
I have, since the beghtning of the
present session of Congress, Communi
cated to the House i -Of Representatives,
upon their request, all ;es:omit of the
steps which I had taken. in the hope
of bringing I his sad conflict te, oii, etid,
and litr seenring to the ptoplt: ul Culla
the blessing; mill rigid of tut independ
ent self-government. -The elfin t thus
made failed, but not wil hind alt tosur
ance from Spain that Hie mend tdlicers
of this fit - wet-nine/It might still aVii II for
the objects to whieli they :have been
addressed.
11.»tritig the whole contest, the remar
kable exhibition has been made of large
numbers of CIII3IIIIB escaping from the
Island - and avoiding the risks of war
congregating in this eountry et a safe
distance from the sense of danger, and
endeavoring to make war from 0111' own
Shores, to urge otir_people into the light
which they avoid, and to embroil this
Government in coniplientions and pos
sible hostilities with Spain.
It can scarce be doubted that this last
result is the real objection of these par
ties although careftilly covered under
the deceptive and apparently plausible
- demand for a Lucie recognition of bell
igerency. • It is stated on what I have
reason to regard as geed authority, that
Cuban hands have been prepared to a
large amount, whose paymeet, is made
dependent upon the recognil Mil by the
United States of of either Cohan het
ligereney or independenee. The object
of making their valtht thus enti eIY con
tingent upon the action of this govern
menti is subjeet for'serious reflection.
In determining the eause.to - he ad0.,0 2
ed on a demand thus made for recog, n i
t ion of belligerency, the liberal and
peaceful principles adopted toy, the Pa
titer or his country aud the eminent '
statesmen of his days, followed by the
succeeding CIAO: M. agistrates and the
men of their day, may furnish a safe
guide to, those of us now einirged with
the direction intik Control of the public`
safety. Front 1789 to 1815 the dom i nen t
thmight of our statesmen was to keep
the United Stater out of the wars w It ich
were devastating Europe. The dis
cussion-of measures of neutrality begins
with the State papers of Mr. Jetler , 4on,
when he was Secretary of State. lie
shows that there are inc./noires of
t l °9 3 / "Ot we)l as 'National duty ;
'that untiguidca .individual eitie,eea
cannot be tolerated in making war ae.
cording to their own caprice, passions
and interests, on foreign sympathies ;
that the agents of foreign govertintentS,
recognized or unreeognizen, cannot he_
permitted to abuse our lieziVitality \hy
usurping the functions of enlisliegt or
equipping military or naval foices with
in their own territorx. Washington
inaugurated the policy of neutrality
absolute abstinence from all foreign
`entangling alliances which resulted : iu
1794 in Hui first municipaY emit:Linen t
for the observance of neutrality.
The duty of opposition to tiliibuster—
ing has been admitted by' every Pres
ident. Washington encovittered the ef
forts of. Genet and the French re.volu
tionists ; John Adams the projects of
i lifideranda and Jefferson thesehemes of
Aaron Burr. Madison and subsequent
Presidents had to deal with the ques
tion of forelgn_entlstment ow equipments
in the United States, and since nays of
John:Quincy Adams it has been one of
the constrant cares of the government of
the United States to prevent, piratical
expeditions against the feeble South
American republics from our shores.
In no country are men waiting for
any enterprise that holds out the prom
ise of adventure or gain. In the early
'days of our national experience, the
whole continent of Anterilat f ontside of
the - United States and Its
t:oswere
all colonial dependencies eft an
si urro
powers. The 'revelation which g e n all
m
1810 spread almost simultaneously
' throughout the Spanish America contr.
nentalcolonies, resulted in the establish•
wont of new States, like 'ourselves of
_European origin, and interested in ex.
eluding European policies and the %leo.'
tion of the balance of powfir, ,frotti fur•
titer. influence .In the New 4 World •
the A.merican policy of Heti trlllitS, im
portant before, became doubly so nom
the fact that - It ecame 'applicable to
the new republic , ' as well as to the
mother country. It then devolved
upon its to determine the tgyeal, interna
tional question, at what lime and Limier
what circumstances to recognii,ts a nee ,
power as entitled to a place auelug
family of nations, as well as the prelim
inary
question of the attitude to be ob
served by this Government toward the
insurrectionary'party pending the con
test. Mr. Monroe eonciSely expressed
the rule which has controlled the ac
tion of thisliovern went with reference
to a revolting country, pending its
.struggle by Saying :
"As soon his 'the movement asEmend such a
steady and consistent form as to make the 'sue.,
cots of the provinces probable, the rights to
which they are entitled by thef laws of IlatitilisS, as
equal partial to it civil wriv, swan extemii:d to
them." , • . -
The strict adherence to this rule of
public policy has been oil of the, high-,
est honors of American statesmanship,
.and ho-s'seenred to the GovernMent the
confidence of the feeble vowel's of rids
continent r and which ihelined them to
rely upon its friendship in the absence
of all signs of conquest, and to look to
the United States for example and
moral protection.' It 'has given to this
(government a position .01* prominence
anti of hilluelee w hielo it should not
abdicate, but i lwhich imph - ses, upon 'it
the most delicate Afities of right and Of,
honor regarding American: questions,,
whether thou questions affect, emanci
pated'colonie, or colonies still subject
to European dominion.
The question of belligerency is one of,
fact, not to be decided by sympathies
for prejudice against either ' party..
The relations between the preSeat state
of the insurgents must amount, in tact,
to ,war, in the sense of International
law. it'ighting, though tierce and' pro
tracted, does not alone constitute war.
Thdre must be military
‘ forces, acts :
in accordance with' the rules and 'cus
toms of war, flags of truce, cartels clic
change of prisoners, &c., &e., And to
justify a recognition - of belligerency,
there must be, above all u,dc facto po
litical organization of the insurgents,
sufficient in character and resources' to
constitute, if left to itself, a State among
nations capable of discharging the du
ties of a State, anti of meeting the just
responsibilities it may incur as such
towards other Powers in the discharge
of its national duties. Applying the
best information which I have been
able to gather, whether from official or
unofficial Sources, including the= very
exaggerated statements which each
party gives to all that may prejudice
their opponents or give eredit to its'ONVII
side of the question, I ton unable to see
in the present condition of the contest,
in Cuba those elements which are req
uisite to constitute war in the sense, of
internationallaw. The• insurgents
hold no tow' or city, have no estab
•lished seat of government ; t heyi I have
, no prize courts, no Organization for the
receivit , or collecting of revenue, no
seaport Co which a prizemay be carried,
or through which access can lie had by
a foreign Power to the limited interior
territory and 1110116fitill fortresses which
they occupy. The existence of a Leg
islature, representing any popular con
stituelky is more than doubtful. In
the uncertainty that hangs amain! the
entire insurrection, there is no !subside
evidence of an election of any delega
ted authority, or of any government
outside the limits of the camps occu
pied front day to day by the moving
companies of insurgent troops. There
is no commerce, no trade, either inter
nal or foreign, no manufactures. _The
late ,commtaderin-chief of the insur
gents having recently conic to the
Unit et) States, publicly declared that
"all commercial intercourse- or trade
with the exterior world had been cut
off; and lie further - added, "To-day we
have not ten thousand arms in Cuba."
It is a well established principle of 1 mb
lie law that a - recognition by foreign
states of belligerent rights of insurgents
under circumstances such as now exist
in Cuba, if not justified .by necessity, is
a gratuitous 111,111011lit.raticygs . - 4 ~,,,r , o
support, to the rebellion. Such ne
cessity may yet hereafter arise. but it
has not yet arisen, nor is its probability
clear to he seen.
If it be war betwen Spain and Cuba,
and the latter be recogeized, it. is our
duty to provide ft l y the consequence
whielfinay insue hi the embarrassmen t
of our commerce and interference with
our revenue. if belligerency he recog
nized, the commercial marine of the
United States becomes liable to search
and to seizure bj; 'the commissioned
cruisers of both parties. Tlay become
subject to .tlp adjudication' of prize
courts. Our Mime coastwise trade be
tween the Atlantic and the Gulf States,
and between both and Lhe Isthmus of
Panama, the States of South America,
engaging the larger part of our com
mercial marina passes of necessity al
most in sight of the Island of Cnba. Un
der 'the treaty with Spain of 1795, as
well as by the laws of nations our
vessels will be liable to visits, on the
high seas. In the case of belligerency,
the carrying of contraband, which now
is lawful becomes liable to the risks of
seizure and condemnation. The parent
grovernnient becomes relieved frem
responsibility for acts done in the instil : -
gent's territory, and acquires the right
to exercise toward neutral commerce all
the poWers of a party ton maritime war.
To what consequence the exercise of
'those powers may lead is a question
which I desire to commend to the serious
consideration of Congress.
In view of the gravity of this,question,
I have deemed, it myl duty to invite the
attention of thkwar-malcing powers of
the country to all the relations and bear
ings of the question in connection with
the declaration of neutrality and grant
ing of belligerent rights. There is not
a de facto Government in. the island of
Cuba sufficient to execute laws to main
tain just relations with other nations.
Spain has not been able.to suppress the
ppposition to Spanish rule on the _lsland,
nor to award speedy justice to other
nations or citizens of other nations
when their rights have been invaded.
There - are serious compligations growing
out of the seizure of ATneriean vessels
upon the high seas executing American
.citizens without proper trial and cOnfis
eating or embargoing the property of
American citizens. Solemn protests
have been made against every infraction
of the rights of individual citizens of
the United States or the rights of our
flag upon the high seas,\ and all proper
steps have been taken and areTpresstd
for the proper reparation of evry indig=
fay complained of. The question of
belligerency however which is to be
decided upon definite principles and
accoring to ascertrained facts, is entirely
different from and unconnected with
theil other question of the manner in
which the strife is carriedi_on on both
sides of the treatment of our citizens
entitled to our_protection. • These (pies-
Lions concern our own dignity and
responsibility and they have been
made, as I have said the subject of re
peated communications with Spain and
of prOtests and de;pands for redress on
our part, It is hoped that these will
not be disregarded ; but should they be,
these
questions will be made the sub
ject of further communication to
Congress.

CUBA.
On the 13th instant the President sent
a special message to Congress on Cuban
affairs. It is an able review of the ques-'
Lions of international law involved in
the Cuban situation, viewed from what
we convolve to.be an impartial consid
eration of the facts, not seriously ques-'
tioned by any one.
That every legitimate encouragement
should be extended to all people strug
gling for their liberty, is the unqualified
sentiment of our country : that we
should involve ourselves in national dif
ficulty, at this time, in order to give
force and effect to this sentiment, is au
entirely different proposition, and is
one upon which public opinion is divi
ded. So far as this sentiment of liber
alism is unbiased by any mere -selfish
considerations, it is highly proper and
entirely consistent for us to indulge and
foster it. But we are aware that• that
feeling not unmixed with other c-m
-siderations. Ever since the promulga
tion of the Ostend Manifesto, there has
been a party growing up within our li
mits, favoring the annexation or acqui
sition of the island of Cuba hy.the Uni
ted States ; and we apprehend that
much of the sympathy entertained for
the Cuban patriots by a large class of
our citizens, is founded upon this greed
for more territory.
We need no more territory, unless It
be essential to onr national safety. Al
ready we have more than we know
what to do with : we had far better farm
well what we have, than run the risk
of war for more. One great - question
involving our permanent national ex
istence, is that .of territorial extent.
C. 3 pors ...a, as 1 i. ".1.31 valßrillitnt is
country together, and harmonize its
multifarious interests through all the
future? This is a question which will
be imminent not long hence.
We think the President's counsel
wise. We should, court no wars., en
col gage no " entangling alliances."—
,W are entangled enough among our
itieWee. When we fully and finally
solve the problems of our own domestic
affairs, it will be time for us to direct
our attention to the affairs of others.
CHARLES DICKENS.
Charles Dickens, the great English
author, died suddenly, of paralysis, on
the 10th inst. 'At this writing, we have
not the particulars of his illness ; but
it is enough for us to know that he is
no more.
Strolling leisurely along a lone way
we had so often frequented in boyhood,
the train which bore the first news of
his death rushed by, as If it were on no
errand of sadness or regret to any
this isolated .region ; yet, when at the
station, the first line which greeted our
eyes in the morning paper—" Death of
Charles Dickens"—carried deep down
into the heart of an illiterate but sym
patbetie stranger, the sad Intelligence
of his , untimely death, it was a feeling
of lainent which came over us, akin to
that the lone heart feels when the loved
fall to rise no more! Traveling thro'
the bright realms of fancy in which he
has roamed so muchnt ease, and writ
ten so much in the truth of nature, in
years gone now with all the reckonings
of the past, who could do less than learn
to love. the unrivalled father of Little
Nell, and poor, little, but always "old,"
Paul Dombey, If ho had never created
more ? Inimitable creations peOple the
Dickens mansion, To have"traveled
through, and to have seen and known
them all, certainly entitles one tospeak
in a familiar manner to Dickens, as the
host who has done so much for our en
--joyment and for the growth of : the bet
ter qualities of our nature. All his
characters are to us as real persons;
and, in making their acquaintance, we
have learned by the way, to look upon
the author as we feel they are them
selves, not mere human creatures, born
to die, but as spiritual beings who have
lived out their time upon the earth, and
entered into the eternal mystery of all
that is yet to be. Few of his general
readers ever thought of Dickens's death
as a present and probable event; and
on this account,.the common' regret is
all the more distressing.
It is much to be enshrined in human
hearts in every land, remembered and
regretted in every household, not only
in one's own country, but in every land
where English literature •travels: thus
it is with Charles Dickens. In Many
an humble household is he mourned as
one lost who had accomplished Much
for humanity.
Mr. Dickens was bbrn near Ports
mouth, England, February 7, 1812; so
he was past 58 years of age at his death.
Ho died at his country residence, in
Kent. He was first attacked at dinner,
the day before his death, though his
health for several years past bad not
been good* Still he was thought to be
only in the prime of his literary life.
How swiftly, indeed, comes the m essen
ger of death to the great, as well as to
the humble and little knovin! Within
so shortz time, how many of the great
~mett. of _the 'world. have.,,fallen ! The
prevalence. of mortality among those
' who "toil so much with brain and pen,".
admonishes all to retrain from over
w al k.
The works of Dickens are too popu
larly known to need particular mention.
lierey . er the English language is line. ;
Irthi",' they nee familiar to all classes.—
Before lie had even visited America, he
bad received numerous letters from ev
'cry part'of this country, demonstrating
'how deeply he bad touched the popular
'heart. Every condition, every fate
parallel in his hooka, and they
_are all so actual, that one needing such
consolation, , finds in them We i same
sympathy that persons having such-ex
perience in actual life,,could, otherwise
alonegive. Ho has given expression to
arilriiinite variety of human emotions
and probable experiences.' The beauty
'and value of his writings flow fromhis
intimate acquaintance with nature. He
does not 'distort, the truth : ho follows it
in such easy harness, that he does not
even seem to copy. Yet• we know he
'does copy—that is, his heart and life
pictures are so perfect, that we know ho
speaks only. what he has, at one time or
another, seen. Nature .is infinite: for
any one to attempt to create a natural
scene, is futila—tho sketch 10 but a fan
cy piece, after all. Dickens drew all his
from the one infallible source. If there
hi more in any ono character than' we
have ever seen in actual life, yetrill the
features are natural, and the combina
tion is so skilful, we feel convineea that
if we have riot ourselves met with the
original, the author has.
We never had any . sympathy with
those who complained of his criticisms
of American manners. We deserved
them all, and more. But if we had
formed any unfriendly opinions on this
account, his words on the occasion of
'his second and last visit to this coun
try,' should disarm every hatred and
lead us to render homage to the gener
ous heart and manly hour of the great
est literary artist of our day.
At his 'death, ho was in the midst of
what promised to be among his greatest
t
works.. It is the tory entitled "The
Mystery of
,Edwin Drood.". How that
mystery,was to have been solved by the
author, may, and probably will, remain
a secret. This was to be expected of
some. production, for such men never
cease to labor while strength remains:
and many before him have died with
unfinished pages before them. Perhaps
no death since that of Lord Macauley
has so suddenly cut off such great ex
pectations in the literary world. His
unrivalled genius sleeps, or has flown to
awaken in the mystic, world of spirits,
there to delight the angels. When shall
we see his like again ? '

LIFE ASSURANCE.
IS it wise to delay the payment of a more pit
tenet) to some Life Insurance Company, when
by doing so a handsome competence is secured
to one's family in case of premature death? In
making an insurance two things are necessary
to be considered :
First, The security of the Company.
Second, Cheapness of the insurance. Tho ratio
of assets to liabilities in five companies some
what known in this vicinity cloarly demonstrates
which of the five is most secure:

About the same differenoo running through
all the different ages and Plana of Insurance.—
TOE TRAVELERS' is a stock Company. The
other companies aro mutual.
All the policies of- THE TnevELEns' aro non
forfeitable, and they : contain in explicit terms the
contract in full between the insured and the
company.
The Mutual companies charge in their policies
slime premium, but make a verbal promise out
side -of the policy to return in the future some
of the over charged premiums which they call
dividends. Upon :hie point:
"Ilon. John E. Sanford, (aoknou4edged author
ity,) Insurance Commissioner for the State of
Massachusetto, says : "The plan that secures
the desired amount of Insurance at the smallest
annual premium is the,best.
Tho income-producing and intermit bearing,
and savings bank plan, and a dozen more of the
same PROMISING sort aro well enough for those
who can afford to go into life insurance as a spec
ulation, and throw away half their chancos. "

M. V. ANDUEWS, Esq., Wellsboro, Pa.,
Dear Sir:----Your favor of the 18th inst.,
has come to hand with policy N 0.21,227 Blanchard
which we have changed and forwarded to Mr. A.
Humphrey, Tioga, Pa., as requested.
Although you say nothing of a slip about the
magnificent attractions of "the Travelers,' we
thought you perhaps intended to elicit our criti
cisms, and we therefore offer them, hoping they
may be of some service to you.
Please turn to p. 120, of the 14th Mass. Re
port, and you will see that the Life Department
of the Travelers was insolvent Deo. 31, 1888.
Gross Assets, Life Dept., $328,735 05.
Gross Liabilities " " 354,435 79.
But iu the Accident Department there• was a
moderate surplus ($60,052 75) which more than
canceled (by $34,352 01) the deficiency in the
Life Department.t You will observe that on p.
120 and p. 123 of above report, the capital
($500,000,) is included in the assets of the Acci
dent Department.. Where then is the "security
of the Co." to Life policy holders ? Sup Pose too
that the circumstances of the ease were changed,
and that the Accident Dept. was insolvent and
the Lifo Dept. had a surplus, would not the Co.
pounce on the funds of the Life Dept. to pay for
the broken legs and arms ?
2d, They claim "cheapness of the insurance."
May not a thing be too cheap ? Does not the in
solvency of their Life Dept.prove their insurance
Sod cheap P How long can they stand cheap
rates ? Should the insurant ever sacrifice securi
ty to cheapness r •
3d, They say "the Mutual Companies charge
in their policies a largo premium, but make a
verbal promise outside of the policy to return in
the future some of the overcharged premiums
which they call dividends." The Washington
has always stated in the policy that it insured a
certain sum "toithparticipatione in profits."
The subject is not exhausted, but perhaps we
aro telling. you only what you already know.
We mast a Mass. Report for fear you may not
have one. Yours Truly,
W. A. BREWER, Jr.

Cleanse the Blood.
IP)WITH corrupt or tainted Blood yon
are sick all over. It may burst out
in Pimples, or Setae, or i u some ac
tive disease, or it may merely keep
you listless, depressed and good for
' nothing, But you cannot have good
health while your blood is impure.—
{ Ayer's Sarsaparilla purges out these
impurities; it expels disease and stimulates the organs
oft life into vigorous action. Hence it rapidly cures
a variety of complaints which aro caused by impurity
of the blood, such as Scrofula, or King's Evil, Tumors,
Ulcers, Sores, Eruptions,-Pimples, Blotches, Boils, St.
Anthony's Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tatter or Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Ring Worm, Cancer or Cancerous
Tumors, Sore Eyes, Female Diseases, such as Retention,
Irregularity, Suppression, Mateo, Sterility, also Sy
philis or Veneral Diseases, Liver Complaints, and Heart
Diseases. Try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and see for your
self the surprising activity with which it cleanses the
blood and these disorders.
During . lute years the public have boon misled by
large bottlos pretending to'give a quart of Extract of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of therm have boon
frauds upon the Rick, for they not only contain little,
if any, Sarsaparilla, but, often no curitive ingredient
whatever. nonce, bitter disappointments has followed
the nee of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
Hood the market, until the name itself has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call
this
.compound, " Sarsaparilla, ' and intend to - supply
such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load
of obloqay which rests upon it. We think we have
ground for believing it has virtues which are irresisti
ble by the class Of diseases it is inteded to cure. We
can assure the sick, that we offer them the best altera
tive we know how to produce, and we have 'canon to
believe. it istby far the most effectual puri er of the
blood yet discovered. . 1 '
