Mr. Beauchamp, of Pike—Resolution
that the Legislature adjourn on the 22d
of this month. Committee on Rules.
Mr. Russell, of Decatur -Resolved, That
the Legislature plunge into the business
before it and adjourn when said business
is finished. Mr. Russell said that he no
ticed that the House spent about an hour
and a half every morning in making and
squabbling over motions to adjourn on a
certain day, and he believed that such ac
tion was taken simply for the benefit
of constituents. He did not see the ne
cessity of wasting time in this way. He
thought that it would be better for the
House to forego such frivolous conduct
and take hold of the business on hand and
dispose of it properly, if it took till next
January. There were many important
measures pending, and the House had no
right to attend to some, throw others aside,
and then adjourn. The House should get
through with the whole business before
adjourning, and in order to do this mem
bers should quit offering sham motions
fixing days to adjourn, and go to work.
Mr. Bartlett, of Bibb, offered the follow
ing resolution:
Whebeas, the members of the General
Assembly are no longer able to attend to
the public business, and are detained at
home by their private affairs and it is im
possible to obtain and hold the presence
of a sufficient number of members to pass
any bill, be it
Resolved, That this General Assembly do

Which Bnoinds me of a letter shown me the
other diy by Hiscox & Co., of New York,
signed ly Mr. E. 0. Williams, of Chapman,
Snyder Do., Pa , a prominent business man of
that pise. He writes:
“I hare suffered with asthma for over forty
yeao* and had a terrible attack in December
and January, 1882 I hardly know what
prompted me to take Parker’s Tonic. I did
80, ltd the first day took four doses. The ef
feciastonished me. That niiiht I slept as if
notling was the matter with me, and have
evtf since. I have had colds since, but no
ast|ma. My breaking is now as perfect as if
I bid never known that disease. If you know
of dny one who has asthma tell him in my
nane that Parker’s Tonic will cure it—even
after forty years.’ There was a man who es
caped the fate of those whom the poet la
ments.
This preparation, which has heretofore
btn known as Parker’s Ginger Tonic, will
hereafter be advertised and sold under the
nsme of Parker’s Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger
isrea’ly an unimportant ingredient, and un
pqncipled dealers are constantly deceiving
their customers by substituting inferior prep-
under the name of ginger, we drop
the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prep
aration itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under the name of
Ptrker’s Ginger Tonic contain the genuine
medicine, if the fa -simile signature of Hiscox
A Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
