ted States. There is every reason to believe that they have returned to their native land entirely satisfied with their visit, and inspired by the most friendly feelings for our country. Let us ardently hope, in the language of the treaty it self, that " there shall henceforward be perpetual peace and friendship between the United States of America and his Majesty the Tycoon of Japan and his successors." BRAZIL With the wise, conservative, and liberal Gov ernment of the Empire of Brazil, our relations continue to be of the most amicable character. NEW GRANADA The exchange of the ratifications of the con vention with the Republic of New Granada, signed at Washington on the 10th of September, 1857, has been long delayed from accidental causes, for which neither party is censurable. These ratifications were duly exchanged in this city on the sth of November last. Thus has a controversy been amicably terminated which had become so serious at the period of my inaugura tion, as to, require me, on the 17th of April, 1857, to direct our Minister to demand his passports and return to the United States. Under this convention the Government of New Granada has specially acknowledged itself to be responsible to our citizens " for damages which were caused by the riot at Panama on the 15th of April. 1856." These claims, together with other claims of our citizens which had been ling urged in vain, are referred for adjustment to a board of commissioners. I submit a copy of the convention to Congress, and recommend the leg islation necessary to carry it into effect. COST! RICA AHD NICARAGUA. Persevering efforts have been made for the ad justment of the claims of American citizens against the Government of Costa Rica, and I am happy to inform you that these have finally pre vailed. A convention was signed at the city of San Jose, on the 2d of July last, bet Ween the Minister resident of the United States in Costa Rica and the Plenipotentiariei of that Republic, referring these claims to a board of commission ers, and providing for the payment of their awards. This convention will be submitted im mediately to the Senate for their constitutional The claims of our citizens upon the Republic of Nicaragua have-not: yet Veen provided for by treaty, although diligent efforts for this purpose have been made by our Minister resident to that. Republic. These are still continued, with a fair prospect of success. MEXICO. Our relations with Mexico remain in a most unsatisfactory condition. In my last two annual messages I discussed extensively the subject of these relations, and do not now propose to repeat at length the facts and arguments then pre sented. They proved conclusively that our citi zens residing in Mexico and our merchants trading thereto, had suffered a series of wrongs and Outrages such as we have never patiently borne from any other nation. For these our suc cessive Ministers, invoking the faith of treaties, had, in the name 'of their country, persistently demanded redress and indemnification, but with out the slightest effect. Indeed, so confidently had the Mexican authorities become of our pa tient endurance, that they universally believed they might commit these outrages upon American citizens with absolute impunity. Thus wrote our Minister, in 1856, and expressed the opinion that 4 , nothing but a manifestation of the power of the Government, and of its purpose to punish these wrongs, will avail." Afterwards, in 1857, came the adoption of a new constitution for Mexico, the election of a President and Congress under its provisions, and the inauguration of the President. Within one short month, however, this President was ex pelled from the capital by a rebellion in the army, and the supreme power of the republic was as signed to General Zuloaga. This usurper was in turn soon compelled to retire and give place to General Miramon. Under the constitution, which had thus been adopted, Senor Juarez, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, bicame the lawful President of the republic ; and it was for the maintenance of the Constitution and his authority derived from it that the civil war commenced, and still con tinues to be prosecttted. Throughout the year 1868 the constitutional "party grew stronger and stronger. In the pre vious history of Mexico' a successful military revolution at the capital had almost universally been the eignal for submission throughout the republic. Not so on the present occasion. A majority of the citizens persistently sustained the Constitutional Government. When this was rec ognized in April, 1869, by the Government of the United States, its authority extended over a large majority of the Mexican States and people, in cluding Vera Cruz and all the other important sea ports of the republic. From that period our commerce with Mexico began to revive, and the Constitutional Government has afforded it all the protection in their power. Meanwhile the Government of Miramon still held sway at the capital and over the surround ing country, and continued its outrages against the few American citizens who still had the cour age to rnnain within its power. To cap the cli max, after the battle of Tacubaya, in April, 1859, Gen. Marquez ordered three citizens of the United States, two, of them physicians, to be seized in the hospital at that place, taken out and shot, without crime and without trial. This was done, notwithstanding our unfortunate country men were at the moment engaged in the holy cruse of affording relief to the soldiers of both parties who had been wounded in the battle, with out making any distinction between them. The time had arrived, in my opinion, when this Government was bound to exert its power to avenge and, redress the wrongs of our citizens, and to afford them protection in Mexico. The interposing obstacle was, that the portion of the country under the sway of Miramon could not be reached without passing over territory under thejurisdiction of the Constitutional Government. Under these circumstances, I deemed it my duty to recommend to Congress, in my last annual message, the employment of a sufficient military force to penetrate into the interior, where the Government of Miramon was to be found, with, or, if need be, without the consent of the Juarez Government, though it was not doubted that this consent could be obtained Never have I had a clearer conviction on any subject than of the justice as well as wisdom of such a policy. No other alternative was left, except the entire aban donment of our fellow-citizens who had gone to Mexico, under the faith of treaties, to the sys tematic injustice, cruelty and oppression of Mir amon's Government. Besides, it is almost certain that the simple authority to employ this force would of itself have, accomplished all our object without striking a single blow. The Constitu tional Government would then ere this have been established at the city of Mexico, and would have been ready and willing, to the extent of its abil ity, to do us justice. In addition—and I deem this a most important consideration—European Governments would have been deprived of all pretext to interfere in the territorial and domestic concerns of Mexico. We should thus have been relieved from the obli gation of resisting, even by force, should this be come necessary, any attempt by these Govern ments to deprive our neighboring republic of por tions of her territory ; a duty from which we could not shrink without abandoning the tradi tional and established policy 'of the American people. lam happy to observe, that, firmly re lying upon the justice and good faith of these Governments, there is no present danger that such a contingency will happen. Having discovered that my recommendations would not be sustained by Congress, the next alternative was to accomplish in some degree, if possible, the same objects by treaty stipulations with the Constitutional Government. Such trea ties were accordingly concluded by our late able and excellent Minister to Mexico, and on the 4th of January last were submitted to the Senate for ratification. As these have not yet received the final' action of that body, it would be improper for me to present a detailed statement of their provisions. Still I may be permitted to express the opinion in advance that they are calculated to promote the agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial interests of the country, and to se cure our just influence with an adjoining republic as to whose fortunes and fate we can never feel indifferent ; whilst at the same time they provide for the payment of a considerable amount to ward the satisfaction of the claims of our injured fellow-citizens. KANSAS At the period of my inauguration I was con fronted in Kansas by a revolutionary govern ment. existing under what is called the Topeka Constitution. Its avowed object was to subdue the territorial government by force, and to in augurate what was called the Topeka govern ment in its stead. To accomplish this object an extensive military organization was formed, and its command entrusted to the most violent rev olutionary leaders. Under these circumstances, it become my imperative duty to exert the, whole constitutional, power of the Executive to prevent the flames of civil war from again raging in Kansas, which, in the excited state' of the public mind, both North and South, might have extended into the neighboring States. The hostile parties in Kansas had been in flamed against each other by emissaries both from the North and the South, to a degree of malignity without parallel in our history. To prevent actual collision, and to assist the civil magistrates in enforcing the laws, a strong de tachment of the army was stationed in the terri tory, ready to aid the marshal and his deputies, when lawfully called upon, as a posse come:luaus in the execution of civil and military process. still, the troubles in Kansas could , not have beeepermanently settled without an.election by the people. The ballot box is the surest arbiter of dispUtes among freemen. Under this convic-, tion, every.proper effort was employed to induce the hostile parties to vote at the election of dele gates to frame a State constitution, and after wards at the election to decide whether Kansas should be a slave or a free State. The insurgent party refused to vote at either, lest this might be considered a recognition on their part of the ter ritorial government established by Congress. A better spirit, however, seemed soon after to pre vail, and the two parties met face to face at the third election, held on the first Monday of Jan uary,•lBbB, for members of the Legislature and State officers under the tecompton Constitution. The result was the triumph of the anti-slavery party at the polls. This decision of the ' ballot box proved clearly that this party were in the majority, and removed the danger of civil war. From that time we have heard little or nothing of the Topeka government; and all serious dan ger of revolutionary troubles in Kansas was then at an end. The Lecompton Constitution, which had been thus recognized at this State election by the votes of both political parties in. Kansas, was trans mitted to me with the request that I should pre sent it, to Congress. This I could not have re fused to do without violating my clearest and strongest convictions of duty. The constitution, and all the proceedings which preceded and fol lowed its formation, were fair and regular on their face. I then believed, and experience has proved, that the interests of the people of Kan sas would have been best consulted by its admis sion as a State into the Union, especially as the majority, within a brief period, could have amended the constitution according to their will and pleasure. If fraud existed in all or any of these proceedings, it was not fur the President, but for Congress, to investigate and determine the question of fraud, and 'what ought to be its consequences. If at the two first' elections, the majority refused to vote, it cannot be pretended that this refusal to exercise the elective franchise could invalidate an election fairly held under lawful authority, even 'if they had not subse quently voted at the third election. It is true that the whole constitution had not been sub mitted to the people, as I always desired ; but the precedents are numerous of the admission of States into the Union without such submission. It - would not comport with my present purpose to review the proceedings of Congress upon the Lecompton Constitution. - It is sufficient to ob serve that their final action.has.removed the last vestige of serious revolutionary troubles. The desperate band recently assembled, under a no torious outlaw, iu the Southern portion of the Territory, to resist the execution of the laws and to plunder peaceful citizens, will, I doubt not, be speedily subdued and brought to justice. Had I treated the Lecompton Constitution as a nullity and refused to transmit it to Congress, it is not difficult to imagine, whilst recalling the Position of the country at that moment, what would have been the disastrous consequences, both in and out of the Territory, from such a dereliction of duty on the part of the Executive. UTAH Peace has also been restored within the Ter ritory of Utah, which, at the commencement of my administration, was in a state of open rebel lion. This was the more dangerous, as the peo ple, animated by a fanatical spirit and entrenched within their distant mountain fastnesses, might have made a long and formidable resistance. Cost what it might, it was necessary to bring them into subjection to the Constitution and the laws. Sound policy, therefore, as well as hu manity, required that this object should, if pos sible, be accomplished without the effusion of blood. This could only be effected by sending a military force into the Territory sufficiently strong to convince the people that resistance would be hopeless, and at the same time to offer them a pardon for past offences on condition of immediate submission to the Government. This policy was pursued with eminent success; and the only cause for regret, is the heavy expendi ture required to march a large detachment of the army to that remote region and to furnish it sub sistance. Utah is now comparatively peaceful and quiet, and the military force has been with drawn, except that portion of it necessary to keep the Ind'ans in check, and to pro tect the emigrant trains on their way to our Pacific possessions. FINANCES In my first annual message I promised to em ploy my best. exertions, in cooperation with Con gress, to reduce the expenditures of the Govern ment within the limits of a wise and judicious economy. An overflowing treasury had produced habits of prodigality and extravagance which could only be gradually corrected. The work required both time and patience. I applied my self dilligently to this task from the beginning, and was aided by the able and energetic efforts of the heads of the different Executive Depart ments. The result of our labors in this good cause did not. appear in the sum total of our ex penditures for the first two years, mainly in con sequence of the extraordinary expenditure ne cessarily incurred in the Utah expedition, and the very large amount of the contingent ex penses of Congress during this period. These greatly exceeded the pay and mileage of the members. For the year ending 30th June, 1858, whilst the pay and mileage amounted to $1,490,- 214, the contingent expenses rose to $2,093,- 309.79 ; and for the year ending 30th June, 1859, whilst the pay and mileage amounted to $859,- 003.66, the contingent expenses amounted to $1,431,565.98. I am happy, however, to be able to inform you that, during the last fiscal year, ending on the 30th June, 1860, the total expenditures of the Government, in, all its branches—Legislative, Executive and Judicial— exclusive of the public debt, were reducedto the sum of $55,402,465.46. This conclusively ap pears from the books of the Treasury. In the year ending on the 20th -June, 1858, the total expenditure, exclusive of the public debt, amounted to $71,901,129.77, and that for the year ending 30th June, 1859, to $66,346.226.13. Whilst the books of the Treasury show an actual expenditure of $59,848,474.72 for the year ending on • the 30th June, 1860, including $1,040,667.71 for the contingent expenses of Congress, there must be deducted from this amount the sum of $4,295,009.26, with the inter est upon it of $160,000, appropriated by the act of 15th February, 1860, " for • the purpose of sup plying the deficiency in the revenues and defray ing the expenses of the Post-office Department for the year ending the thirtieth of June, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine." This sum, therefore, justly chargeable to the year 1859, must be deducted from the sum of $59,848,474.72, in order to ascertain the expenditure for the year ending on the 80th June, 1860, which leaves a balance for the expenditures of that year of $55,- 402,465.46. The interest on the public debt, in cluding Treasury notes,.for the same fiscal year, ending on the 30th June, 1860, amounted to $3,- 177,314.62, which added to the above sum. of $55,402,465.46, make the aggregate of $58,579,- 780.08. It ought, in justice, to be observed, that sever al of the estimates from the Departments for the year ending 30th June, 1860, were reduced by Congress below what was and still is deemed compatible with the public interest. Allowing a liberal margin of $2,500,000 for this reduction, and for other causes, it may be safely asserted that the sum of $61,000,000, or, at the most, $62,000,000, is amply sufficient to administer the Government and, to pay the interest on the pub lie debt, unless contingent events should hereaf ter render extraordinary expenditures necessary. This result has been attained in a considerable degree by the care exercised by the appropriate departments in entering into public contracts. I have myself never interfered with the award of, any such contract. except in a single case with the Colonization. Society, deeming it advisable to cast the whole responsibility, in each case on the proper head of the Department, with the general instruction that these contracts should always be given to the lowest. and best bidder. It has ever been my opinion that public contracts are not a legitimate source of patronage to be conferred upon personal or political favorites ; but that in all such cases a public officer is bound to act for the Government as a prudent individual would act for himself. AFRICAN SLAV) TRADE, &c It is with great satisfaction I communicate.the . fact, that, since the date of my,last Annual Mes sige, not a single slave has been imported' into the United States in violation of the - laws tiro-. hibiting the African slave trade. This statement is founded upon a thorough examination and in vestigation of the subject. Indeed, the spirit which prevailed some time , since among a por tion of our fellow-citizens in favor of. this trade, seems to have entirely subsided. I also congratulate you upon the public senti ment which now exists against the crime of set; ting on foot military expeditions within the lim its of the United States, to proceed from thence and make war upon the people of unoffending States, with whom we are at peace. In this re spect a happy change has been effected since the commencement of my Administration. It surely ought to be the prayer of every Christian and pa triot, that such expeditions may never again re ceive countenance in our country, or depart from our shores. It would be a useless repetition to do more than refer, with earnest commendation, to my former recommendations in favor of the Pacific Railroad—of the grant of power to the Presi-. dent to employ the naval force in the vicinity for the protection of the lives and property of our fellow-citizens passing in-transit over the different Central American routes, against sud den and lawless outbreaks and depredations; and also to protect American merchant vessels, their crews . and cargoes, against violent and un lawful seizure and confiscation in the ports of. Mexico and the South American Republics, when these may be in a disturbed and revolutionary condition. It is my settled conviction that with out such a power we do not afford that protec tion to those engaged in the commerce of the country which they have a right to demand: ELECTiON OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. I again recommend to Congress the passage of PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1860. a law in pursuance of the provisions of the Con stitution, appointing a clay certain, previous to the 4th of March, in each year of an odd num ber, for the election of representatives through out all the States. A similar power has already been exercised, with general approbation, in the appointment of the same day , throughout the. Union, for holding the election of . electors for President and Vice Pregident of the United States. My attention was earnestly directed to this subject, from the fact that the Thirty-Fifth Congress terminated on the 3d of March, 1859, without making the necessary appropriation for the service of the Post Office Department. • I was then forced to consider the best remedy for this omission, and an immediate call of the present" Congress, was the natural resort. Upon inquiry, however, I ascertained that fifteen out of -thirty three States composing the Confederacy, were without representatives ' and that, consequently, these fifteen States will be disfranchised by such a call. These fifteen States Will be in the same condition on, the 4th of March, next. Ten of them cannot -elect 'representatives according to existing State laws, until. different ,periods, ex tending from the beginning of August next; until the months of: October and November. In my lasttinessage I gave warning, that, - in a time of sudden and alarming danger, the salva tion of our institutions might depend upon the power of the President immediately to assemble a full Congress to meet the emergency.- It is now quite evident that the financial neces sities of the Government will require a modifica tion of the Tariff' during your. present session, for the purpose of increasing the revenue. In this aspect, I desire to reiterate the recomnienda don contained in my last two Annual Messages, in favor of imposing specific instead of ad valo rem duties on all imported articles to' which these can be properly applied. From long ob servation and . experience, I am convinced that specific duties. are necessary, both to protect the revenue and to secure •to our manufarturing in terests that amount af incidental encouragement which unavoidably-results from a revenue tariff. As an abstract proposition, it may - be admitted that ad valorem duties would, in theory, be the most just and equal. But if the experience Of this and of all other commercial nations has:de-' monstrated that such duties cannot be assessed and collected without great frauds upon the rev= enue, then it is the part of wisdom to resort to specific duties. Indeed, from the very nature of an ad valorem duty, this must be the, result,. Under it theinikittible consequence is;-that for eign goods will be entered at less-than their trite value. The Treasury will, therefore, lose the duty on.the difference between their real and fic titions'value, and to this extent 'we are defraud ed. • . The temptation which ad valorem. duties pre sent to a dishonest importer ' are irresistible. His object is to pass his goods through the Cus tom House at the, very lowest valuation necessa ry to save them from confiscation. In this he too often succeeds, in spite of the vigilance, of the revenue officers. Hence the resort to false invoices, one for the purchaser and another for the Custom House, and to other expedients to defraud the Government. The honest importer produces his invoice to the Collector, stating the actual price at which he purchased the articles abroad. Not so with the dishonest importer and the agent of the foreign manufacturer. And here it may be observed that a very large pro purtion of the manufactures imported from abroad, are consigned for sale to commission merchants who are mere agents employed by the manufacturers. - In such cases no actual .ale has been made to fix their value. The foreign manu facturer, if he be dishonest, prepares, an invoice of the goods, riot at their actual value, but at the very lowest rate necessary to escape detection. In this manner the dishonest importer and the foreign manufacturer enjoy a decided advantage over the honest merchant. They are thus en abled to undersell the fair trader, and drive him from the market. In fact, the operation of this system has already driven from the pursuits of honorable commerce, many of that class of reg ular and conscientious merchants, whose charac ter, throughout the world, is th pride of our country. The remedy for these evils is to be:found in specific duties, so far as this may be practicable. They dispense with any inquiry at the Custom House into the actual cost or value of the arti cle, and it pays the precise amount of duty pre viously fixed by law. They present no , tempta tions to the appraisers of foreign goods, who re ceive but small salaries, and might, by underval uation in a few cases, render themselves inde pendent. Besides, specific duties besLconform to the re quisition in the Constitution, that "no prefer once shall be given by any regulation of com merce or revenue to the ports of one State over those of another." Under our ad valorem system such preferences are to some extent inevitable, and complaints have often been made that the spirit of this provision has been violated by a lower appraisement of the same articles at one port than at another. An impression strangely enough prevails to some extent that specific duties are necessarily protective duties. Nothing can be more falla cious. Great Britain glories in free trade, and yet her whole revenue from imports is at the present moment collected under a system of spe cific duties. It is a striking fact in this connexion, that in, the commercial treaty of 23d January, 1860, be tween France and England, 'one of the articles provides that the an valorem duties which it im poses shall be converted into Specific duties with in six months from its date, and these are to be ascertained by making an average of the prices for six months previous to that time. The re verse of the proposition would be nearer to the truth, because a much larger amount of revenue would he collected by merely converting the ad valorem duties of a tariff into equivalent specific duties. To this extent the revenue would be in creased, and in the same proportion the specific duty might be diminished. Specific duties would secure to the American manufacturer the incidenial protection to which he is fail ly entitled under a revenue tariff, and to this surely no person would object. The framers of the existing tariff have gone further, and in a liberal spirit have discriminated in fa vor of large and 'useful branches of our manu factures, not by raising the rate of duty upon the importation of similar articles from abroad, but what is the same in effect; by admitting ar ticles free of duty which enter into the 'composi tion of their fabrics. Under the present, system it has been often truly remarked that this incidental protection decreases when the manufacturer needs it most, and increases when hp needs it least, and consti tutes a sliding scale which always operates against him. The revenues of the country are subject to similar fluctuation. Instead of ap proaching • a steady standard, as would be the case under a system of specific duties, they sink and rise with the sinking and rising prices of ar ticles in foreign countries. It would not be difficult for Congress to arrange a system of spe cific duties which would afford additional sta bility both to our revenue and our manufactures, and - without injury or injustice to any interest of the country.' This might be acaomplished by ascertaining the average value of any given ar ticle form series of years at the place of expor tation, and by simply converting the rate of ad valorem duty upon which it might be deemed ne cessary for revenue purposes, into the form of a specific duty. Such an arrangement could not injure the consumer. If ;he dould pay a great er amount of duty one year, this Would be coun terbalanced by' a lesser amount the , next, and in the end lite aggregate would be the same. THE TREASIIEY I desire to call your immediate attention to the present condition of the Treasury, BO ably and clearly presented by the , Secretary'in his report to Congress,'and to recommend that measures be promptly adopted to enable it to discharge its pressing obligations. The other recommenda tions of the report are well worthy of your fa vorable consideration. REPORTS OF DEPARTMENTS I herewith transmit to Congress the reports of the Secretary of War, of the Navy, of the Inte rior, and of the Postmaster General. The re commendations and suggestions which they, con tain are highly valuable, and deserving your careful attention. The Report of the Postmaster General details the circumstances under which Cornelius Van derbilt, on my request, agreed, in the month of . July last, to carry the ocean mails between our, • Atlantic and. Pacific coasts. Had he not thus acted, this important intercommunication must, have been suspended, at least for a season. The Postmaster General had no power to make him any other compensation than the postages on the mail matter which he might carry. It was known at the time, that these postages would. fall far short of an adequate compensation, es well as of the sum which the same service had previously cost the Government. Mr; Vanderbilt, in a com mendable spirit, was willing to rely upon the justice of Congress to make up the deficiency and I therefore recommend that an appropriation be granted for this purpose. I should do great injustice to the Attorney General, were I to omit the mention of his dis tinguished services in the measure adopted and prosecuted by him for the defence of the Gov ernment against numerous and unfounded claims to land in California, purporting to have been made by the Mexican Government previous to the treaty of. cession. Zhe successful opposi tion to these, claims, have saved. to-the "United - States, public property worth , many millions-,of dollars, and to individuals - holding title under them to tit least an equal amount. KANSAS SUFFERERS It has been. -represented to me, from sources which I' deem reliable, that the inhabitants in several portions of Kansas have been reduced nearly to a state of starvation, on account of the THE TARIFF almost total failure of their crops, whilst the harvests in every other Portion of the country have been abundant. The prospect before them for the approaching Winter is well calculated to enlist the sympathies of every heart. The des titution appears to.be so general that it cannot be relieved by private . contributions, and they are in such indigent - circumstances as to be un able to purchase the' necessaries of life for them selves. I refer the subject to Congress. If any Constitutional measure for their relief can be devised, I would recommend its adoption. DISTRICT, OF COLUMBIA. I cordially recommend to your favorable re gard, the interests of -the people of this district. They are eminently entitled to your considera tion, especially since, unlike the people of the States, they can appeal to no Government except that of the Union. • JAMES BUCHANAN.

Symtomatie Headache is exceedingly- common, and is the precursor of a great variety of diseases, among which aro. Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile diseases. Inits nervous form' it is sympathetic of disease - of the stomach, con stituting sick headache ; of hepatic disease, constituting bil ious headache, of worms, constipation and other disorders of the bowels, as well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended with Headaches; AllB3Mireand plethora are also affections which frequently oc casion headache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being- usually distinguished by the name of nervous head ache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a date of apparently sound health and prostrating at once the mental and physical energies, and hi other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits or acerbity of temper. -In most in stances the pain is in the front of the head, over one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting; under this class may also be named Neuralgia. For the treatment of either class of Headache, the Cepha lic Pills have been found a• sure and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating 'diseases of which Headache is the unerring , index. • Bamorr.—Missus wants you to send her a box of Cephalic Glue, no, a bottle of Prepared Pills—bnt.l'm tbinkingtbat's not just it, neither; but, perhaps ye 'it be either knowing it is. Ye see' she's nigh dead and gone with - the Sick ifeadachei and wants some more of that earns as relnived her' before. DRI7GGIBT.—YOU mast mean Spalding's Cephalic Pills. . BamoeT.—Och I sure now and you've Ned it; here's the quartlaer and giv me the Pills ana don't be all day about it either. CONSTIPATION-OR COSTIVENESS. No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to" is So prevalent, so little understood, and so much neglected, as Costiveness. Often originating in carelessness, or sedentary habits, it is re garded as a slight disorder of too little consequence to ex-, cite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and com panion of many of the mast fatal and dangerous diseases, and unless early eradicated it. ill bring the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which costive ness is the usual. attendant, are. Headache, Colic, Rhenma tin% Foul Breath, Piles, and others of like nature, while a long train of frightful diseases, such as Malignant Fevers, Abscesses, Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epi 'MOT,. Paralysis, Hysteria, Nypochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indicate their prmence in the system by ORS alarming symptom. Not unfrequently the diseases named originate in Constipation, hat take on an independent ex istence unless the cause is eradicated at an , early stage. From all these considerations, it follows that the disorder should receive immediate attention whenever it °Ceara; and no, person should neglect to get a box of Cephalic Pills on the first skpearanee of the complaint, as their timely usewill expel the Insidious approaches of disease, and destroy this dangerous foe*, human life.

Jo:NEL—I shall send for a box, directly, and shall tell all my suffering friends, for they area reat blessing. Twenty Millions of Dollars Saved. hfr. Spalding has sold two millions of bottles of his cele brated Prepared Glue, and it is estimated that each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of broken furniture, thus making an aggregate of twenty millions of dollars reclaimed from totalloss by this valnable invention. Having made his Glue " a household-word, he now proposes to do the world still greater service by curing all the aching, heads with. his Cephalic Pills, and if they are as'good aslui Glue, 'Headaches will soon vanish away like snow in July. OVER, EXCITEMENT, and the mental care and anxiety ineidentloclose attention to business and study, are among thenumerous causes of Ner- Tons Headache. The discirdered state amind and body In cident to this distressing complaint, Is a. fatal blow to all energy and ambition. Sufferers by this disorder can always obtain speedy relief, from these distressing attacks by using one of the Cephalic Pills whenever the symptoms appear. It quiets the overtasked brain, and soothes-the strained and jelling nerves, and relaxes the tension.of the stomach which always accompanies and aggravates the disordered condition of the brain. . • Fart ifot;th Knowhig. Spalding's Cephalic Pills are a certain cure for Sick Head ache, Bilious Headache, Nervous Headache, Costiveness, and General Debility.— • GREAT DIISCOVERY. Among the most important of all the great medical discov erica of this ago may be considered the system of vaccination for protection from Small Pox,. the Cephalic Pill,, for, relief of 4eadache, and, the use of Quinine for, the prevention of leevcre. either of which is a sure-specitc, whose benefits will be Oxpeiienced• by suffering- humanity long after their dia. coverers are forgotten. Did .Ton.. Ever Have the Sick Headache! Do you.remember the throbbingtemples, the fevered brow, the loathing and disgust at the sight of f9od ? how totally linfityou were for pleasure, conversation, or study? One of the Cephalic Pillswould have relieved you from all the suffer ing which you then, experienced.
