The Third Tarty Coming.
The Atlanta Herald sees, or thinks he
sees, in the immediate future the coming
of a new party with Grant and Ben But
ler at its head, and Kemper and Mosby
of Virginia, and Gordon of Georgia, as
members, and we suppose the Atlanta
Herald as its organ. Already the Herald
scents the flesh pots cf Egypt, and in
his imagination spoils and spoons,
loaves and fishes, and fat jobs, and fast
horses, will be as plentiful at the South
as they have been at the North. It would
seem that in the opinion of the Herald,
that when Grantism and Bntlerism (for
they are both the same thing 1 ) had -be
come so corrupt and disgusting' that
the Radicals of the North, can
longer endure them and have determined
to repudiate them, that Southern politi
cians stand ready to pick them up. Per
haps there may be a few men at the
South ready to fall down aud worship
Grant and Butler for the sake of office,
but they are but few and they can't carry
the people with them. The idea of
third party is all a humbug. There can
be but two Great parties in the United
State: the Democratic and the anti
Democratic party, by whatever name it is
called. The Democracy is the party of
the people and it has ruled the country
whenever the country is prosperous. The
other is the party of monopolies, and
when that has ruled, the people have suf
fered. All attempts to form a third party
have been failures, and if Grant and But
ler and Mosby and Gordon and the At
lanta Herald starts one, it will prove a
failure. We should not think General
Gordon would feel flattered by the coni',
pany in which the Herald lia^placed him.
The" country will have no use for a third
party. The people have determined to
put the reins of government into the
hands of the Democracy' again, and Grant
and Butler and all of their toadies and
flunkies will be turned out to grass.
Lookout Mountain Quaking—The
Athens (Tenn.) Post, of the 20th, says :
‘*A heavy shock of earthquake occurred
at Chattanooga between one and two
o’clock Wednesday morning. The dis
turbance was sufficient to shake the walls
of the taller buildings and startle the
people from their slumbers. The com
motion along Lookout is said to have
been fearful. We shall await the next
report from Bald Mountain with no little
interest.
Can’t we get up a Georgia earthquake
or volcano of some sort? It won t do
for the Empire State to be outdone in
such matters by North Carolina and
Tennessee.
The above is from the Savannah News.
Not only Georgia, but the whole United
States has hitherto been very deficient in
volcanoes worth bragging of. This defi
ciency has been the source of much cha-
grine and mortification to many of our
fourth of July orators. They could boast
of our having the most famous cataract,
the largest lake, the longest river and the
biggest cave in all creation, but when they
were questioned about our volcanoes, they
were compelled to admit that even poor
frozen Iceland could beat us in that ar
ticle. When the report from Bald monn
tain first reached us, it was believed by
bv many that this reproach was about to
be removed from the United States. But
notwithstanding all of his rumbling and
shaking we believe Bald mountain will
turn out a miserable failure. He |don t
smoke or spout fire worth a cent. The
News asks if we can't get up a volcano in
Georgia, We should think we could.
If the people of Atlanta will set Kimball
at work he could soon get one up in first
rate style. It is said that he renovated
all of the mineral springs around Atlanta
when he was there last, so that they are
expected to be more powerful than ever
next summer. Atlanta is a very favora
ble place for a volcano. The many warm
sulphur springs in that vicinity, show
that Atlanta is very near to a region of
fire and brimstone, the two prominent
materials for a rampant volcano. And it
is well understood if we have a volcano at
all, our orators want one that they can
boast of, one that can out roar and out
spout anything of the kind in Europe, and
Atlanta is just the place for such a show
and Kimball is just the man to get it up.
Much Ado About Nothing.—In a late
number of the Atlanta Herald it is an
nounced that one of the Penitentiary con-
victc had escaped, and a villain was at
large in Atlanta. Well, what of that ?
what is one villain more or less in Atlan
ta? It is like a (hop of water m the
Atlantic ocean.
The way Zt is Done North and South.
A Washington note says : An adverse
report was made in the Senate Friday,
on a bill of General Gordon, granting aid
to the Atlantic and Great Western canal.
The report was adopted by the Senate.
So, for the present, at least, a great
measure backed up by the North and
West, has gone to grass, for the time,
Arab.
The Bead foaealina Lanalaf ap Again.
Many persons believed, or pretended to
believA that the question of paying Bui-
fraudulent bonds was forever settled
a;%rt this does not seem to be
cun of Col. Styles of the Albany
In ms issue of the 27th of March he
says there has lately sprung into existence
in London an organization called the Gen
-eral Court of Foreign Bondholders. One of
the objects of this organization is to en
force the collection of bonds in eight of
the United States, and the editor of the
News seems to have a veiy unfavorable
opinion of those opposed to paying those
bonds. Here is what he says :
-Many of our Southern exchanges, that
are edited by passion q-'ill drivers, fogies
and fools, affect contempt for these or
ganizations, and hurl the defiance of ig
norance and stupidity back across the
water at the devoted heads of the money
changers of Europe, and lug in the soda-
wag andJcarpet bagger to give coloring
to their vehemence and point to their va-
porings. They remind us of a belated
boy, who whistles as he passes the grave
yard in the dark, to keep liis courage up.
They know, or ought to know, that the
capitalists of Great Britain, Germany
and France who purchase American Bonds
purchase in good faith, and that these
claims are as just as obligation can be
effected between man and man; between
States and individuals, and that re
pudiation of such claims is a species of
dishonor that must inevitably recoil upon
those who perpetrate it, with punishments
more terrible than bankruptcy and more
ruinous than fire and sword.”
It will be seen that the Colonel is not
only very severe on these unfortunate
quill drivers who have not the fear of
these bondholders before their eyes, but
he also predicts awful calamities on those
who repudiate these bonds. Further on
he says:
‘Ts there nothing in financial credit ?
Notliing to dread in a conflict with the
moneyed world by the repudiation of
obligations created by law and bearing
the impress of accredited and constitu
tional authority ?
We believe the holders of American
securities, in foreign countries, have
rights that should be respected; that
they are right in aggregating their
strength for self-protection, and right in
their determination to ‘deal stringently
with those who do not heed the claims
upon them in a fair spirit and to the best
of their power.’”
It seems the bondholders have still got
warm friends in Georgia, and if there is
not an Article placed in the Constitution
of Georgia proliibiting the payment of
the bonds, the subject will be brought
before future legislatures until the bonds
will be paid.

The Savannah Advertiser-Republican
prints the following letter recently writ
ten by Atkins, collector of customs at that
port, to a prominent retail liquor dealer of
Savannah:
Savannah, March 16,1874.
Dear Sib : I learned last week, while
in Atlanta, from a letter written by the
Supervisor of Internal Revenue, that you
are charged with, and at the next term of
the United States Court in this city, will
be indictedfor the offence of having in your
possession an empty barrel with retail
stamp and brand not obliterated: and,
having in my possession information by
which I will be enabled to secure your
release from the charge upon reasonable
terms, I respectfully invite you to call on
meat the Custom House and talk the
matter over.
“Respectfully, James Atkins.”
The Advertiser thinks this proposition
“very strongly suggests that Mr. Atkins
has been proceeding in conjunction with
parties in authority, whom he juggled
with “last week while in Atlanta,” to levy
blackmail improperly upon some of our
citizens, against whom a skimp charge
has been trumped up in the United States
Court. This is indeed a pretty showing
for a prominent United States Official of
Georgia. The facts in this matter, prop
erly authenticated, have been forwarded
to Georgia Congressmen and the depart
mentin Washington.”
perhaps forever. The defeat in the Senate
is disastrous, so much so that the great
canal .can hardly hope to rally from_it.—
But the centennial job staggers up again,
badly battered, it is true, but prepared for
farther fights.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of a late date
says:
The Senate Appropriation Committee
will take up the centennial bill next Mon
day. Senators Dorsey and Sprague are
both absent. The former is in favor of
the bill, and Sprague is doubtful. The
issue will be pressed for an international
exhibition, and its friends who have it in
charge are very hopeful of a favorable
result, the question of money being the
only real trouble to overcome, and the
fear that what is now votedjwill only be a
commencement. To dispel this the com
mittee will be asked to throw around the
money such provisions as will prevent its
being drawn except its use will secure cer
tain specified things.
Macon, Ga., March 26th, 1874.
Messes. Editors Union & Recorder :
We arrived here late last evening and
notwithstanding the inclement weather,
the merchants of Macon seem to be
doing some business. Among those up
on whom we called, were M. J. Baer;
Greer, Lake & Co., and J. F. Barfield.
We traded some with these gentlemen,
and take occasion to say that their
goods ar e good and cheap. All who need
supplies will do well to call on Mr. Bar-
field opposite the Passenger Depot, he
looks his customers strait in the eyes and
speaks the truth fluently. We are stop-
ing at the popular Lanier House, which
is kept by Mr. Dub; he is as pleasing as
any need, and what the ladies might call
handsome; but what is better than all, he
feeds his guests high, but charges very
low. Among the many good things we
had for dinner to-day, was a nice mess of
English peas. Some Hotels may equal the
Lanier House in good eating, polite ser
vants, and accommodating Proprietors,
but it is excelled by none. Our stay
will necessarily be short, but with such
fare and kind attention, we hope to be
much improved, ere we return to your
city.
Respectfully,

The Lecture of John G. Saxe.—The
anticipations of our citizens were fully
realized in the lecture of Mr. Saxe on last
evening. The threatening clouds which
had all day made quite a number hesitate
were not sufficent to prevent a full house,
and when the hour forthelecturearrivedas
handsome, intelligent and numerous an au
dience were present as could possibly be
desired. The lecture opened with the old
style argument, wherein, after the manner
of the ancient writers, the readers are in
formed as to what is to be done and said.
Beginning with maternal love, the lectur
er most touchingly painted in rhyming
speech the affection of a mother and from
that subject or part passed to love of
country, and described with attractive
skill Washington, Jackson, Hancock and
other patriots, and, as all “truth has its
counterfeit,” drew a ludicrous picture of
the demagogue, whose most ambitious
hope is to aid liis suffering country for
the greatest good to the greatest number,
and the greatest number number one.
Mr. Saxe, we warrant, made a splendid
lover in his more youthful days, and even
now the tender touches of what had been
proves that memory is still strong and
binds a delightful present to a happy past.
He handled the love of youth in such a
manner as to demonstrate that he fully
appreciated what it was, not only to be
“happy with either,” but knew also how
to be happy with both. The description
of the kisses wasted by pretty school
girls upon each other brought back to
many of liis male auditors scenes of their
own lives never to be forgotten. No old
bachelor among that assembly will never
feel himself a man after the excoriating
description of his existence until he finds
some one who, with loving hand, shall lead
him where he ought to go. With a gal
lantry which did him credit, Mr. Saxe

we should hope that, even in America,
only a women would be capable. The
description of the fonuer residence of
General Lee—now a military cemetery
—is made an oocasion for ah insult to
the widow of the noblest soldier and gen
tleman America ever produced, hardly
paralleled even by Butler's brutal taunt
to the sick wife of Gen. Beauregard; and
General Lee himself is reviled in terms
which, if they represent any widespread
feeling in the North, must make recon
ciliation and reunion impossible so long
as Southerners retain either the pride
of manhood or the common feelings of
humanity. We could wish to see the fits
ting chastisement of this outrage on
truth and decency administered by some
respectable organ of American opinion.
Personal.
We had the pleasure of meeting yes
terday Rev. David Butler President of the
Board of Trustees of Mercer University.
As usual he was full of life and vivacity,'
and justly proud of the institution for
which he has labored so long and faith
fully.
A gentlemen present asked liim whether
he believed Bishop Gross’ Catholic Col
lege would injure Mercer. Not at all, he
replied. It will only tend to make Bap
tists do thoir whole duty. He then men
tioned that when Mercer College was first
established at Penfield, Hon. AsburyHull
the devoted advocate and supporter of
Franklin College, was greatly disturbed,
and deemed it a sectarian attempt to
break down our State institution.
But a few years afterwards he told Dr.
Butler that his fears had proved ground
less, and Mercer had even given an im
petusto her sister seat of learning. Hence
the astute President of the trustees of the
university which has already dispensed
such blessings upon this community
stands ready to fraternize with our Catho
lic friends on the abstract question of edi
fication.
Any competition that will cheapen the
price of tuition and open our colleges to
rich aud poor, must prove vastly bene
ficial to the masses.

Hundred and Thirty Penitenti
ary Convicts Xieased Out
Yesterday morning The Constitution
announced that Governor Smith had leased
out some two hundred of the penitentia
ry convicts. He completed the work
yesterday. In distributing them his view
was to put them in different localities
and in various pursuits. The total num
ber of convicts is six hundred and thirty,
and are leased out as follows:
John T. & W. D. Grant, 180 for five
years at $11 per capita per annum.
Wallace, Haley & Co, for the North
Georgia Railroad from Marietta to Elli
jay, 100 for two years at $11 per capita
per annum. With great promptness
these men executed their bond yester
day.
The Dade Coal Company 100 for five
years at $11 per capita per annum.
Smith, Biddle & Co., of Washington
county, 100 for five years, milling and
agricultural purposes, at $11 per capita
per annum.
G. D. Harris, of Bartow county, 50 fox-
work in iron works at $20 per capita per
annum.
The Northeastern Railroad Company
of Athens 50 for 21 months at $11 per
capita per annum.
Henry Stephens, of Baldwin county,
50 for one year, with privilege of two
years, for work in Kaolin Works, at $20
per capita per annum.
This will average over $10 per capita
per annum.
Men anxious for office and assured of
their popularity with the people, as all
aspirants for office are, will no longer
feel like abiding the action of a conven
tion, and will wish to rely upon tlieir
merit and trust to an independent cam
paign for success. The “old English
custom” of “standing” is being much talk
ed of, and one or two candidates have al
ready announced themselves as standing
for certain offices. One or two such men
in every county in tne State will put the
next House of Representatives in the pos
session of the Radicals, and send a full
Radical delegation to Congress from Geor
gia. The only way to fight these polit
ical guerrillas successfixlly is to treat
them like guerrillas in warfare—show
them no quarter. If a man will not abide
the action of a fairly and regularly chosen
convention, let him receive neither coun
tenance nor support from Democrats.
The effect of his candidacy is to injui-e
the party, and. he must be considered
and treated as a party enemyj—Savannah

New Hampshire Election.—The full re-
txims of the New Hampshix-e election show
ft laigely increased vote over that of last
yeai-, the candidates of all parties gaining,
but the preponderance of gain being with
the Democrats. Nevertheless, no one
candidate received a majoi-ity over all
competitors, and the Legislature will
choose the Governor. The Republican
vote was increased 32,023 in 1873 to 34,.
136, the Democratic from 32,016 to 35,611
and the Prohibitory and scattei-ing from
1,757 to 2,135. The total increase was
from 67,706 to 71,882. In 1873, Straw
Republican, had a majority over all of
228, but this year Weston, Democrat, fails
of a majority over all by 661 votes. The
Senate will consist of four Republicans
and eight Democrats, and the House of
one bundled and seventy-five Republican
and one and hundred ninety-one Demo
crats, a majority of sixteen on joint ballot.
This insures the election of Weston as
Governor, by the Legislature, which will
meet in June.
Great Battle in Spain.
The telegrams report a great battle in
Spain, in the neighborhood of Bilbao,
between the so-called Republican forces
under Marshal Serrano, and the Carlists
under Don Carlos himself. This is that
decisive fight so long thi-eatened, and the
force of both paidies was not far from
thfrty-five thousand fapiece. The news
comes through Madrid and the Serrano
Government, and it does not claim a
victory, which is a veiy unusual thing in
Madrid. It states that the battle lasted
from seven o’clock in the morning until
darkness put a stop to it. The Carlists
fought with gx-eat obstinacy, but the
Republican troops slept upon ground
they had won from the enemy. Upon
that report, we judge that Serrano’s
anny has had a hard time of it. Their
object was to raise the Carlist siege of
Bilbao, bixt they do not claim to have
accomplished it. The battle, they state,
was to be i-enewed next monxing.

The Blackshear Mubder.—We find the
following in the Savannah News, of Fri
day:
We have already given tolerably full
pai-ticxxlars of the hoirible assassination
of young Walter L. Cole, one of the most
popular and prosperous business men in
the little town of Blacksheax-. The clue
which had been obtained to the pei-pe-
tration of the deed by finding the broken
gxui at the house of his uncle, R. W. Car
penter, caused public opinion to point to
liim as the probable murderer. There
were many, however, who still refused to
believe that Carpenter was capable of
committing such a cold-blooded crime.
He was a quiet, uxrassuming man in his
business relations, and had hitherto
borne a good character. At the com-'
mitment trial, to which we have already
alluded, enough evidence of a circum
stantial character was developed to war
rant Carpenter’s commitment to await
his trial before the Superior Court. On
Wednesday another committee was ap
pointed to search the premises of Car
penter, and their investigations resirlted
in bringing to light evidence of a char
acter to leave no possible doubt upon the
minds of any that he committed the
murder. In a loft in his kitchen, acces
sible oixly by a small aperture, were
found the pants he wore at the time of
the assassination, and under the floor, in
a cellar, were found the shoes he wore.
Both shoes and pants have blood steins
upon them, but the former were particu-.

laxly bloody about the heels, caused, it is
supposed, by violently stamping his poor
victim. The finding of these evidences
has occasioned much excitement in Black-
sheax-. It is supposed that Carpenter
committed this terrible murder for the
purpose of obtaining young Cole’s mon
ey. He knew that his victim had sent
a lot of drafts to this city for collection,
and that it was about time for the money
to reach Blackshear by express. Young
Cole also had a note against Carpenter
for $850. Carpenter further more knew
that in the event of Cole's death, that he

If, with the countenance of the Presi

office, General Butler should secure the
nomination, his opponents would proba
bly bolt to .some purpose. Nor would
they be mutffi concerned by his assertion
that it is dishonorable to go into a con
vention, and then refuse tone governed by
its decision. They might object to the
General as a poor authority upon “honor”
in politics, and they would certainly
refuse, upon any plea of “honor,” to
support a candidate whose election they
would coixsider a grave public misfortune.
In the event of his success, General
Butler would have captured the regular
organization of the party. He could
then be opposed only outside of it His
opponents would in that case, unless
they mean to surrender, nominate a can
didate and appeal to the Commonwealth.
They might be defeated, but they would
have shown that they held party subor
dinate to principle, and the result would
be a reform party, which would presently
absorb the best elements of the Demo
cratic party, and contest the Presidency
in 1876.
She Eagle and Vht Grow,
In a recent speech in the House of
Representatives, against the Civil Rights
bill, Mr. Robbins, of North Carolina,
speaking of the “levelling” spiiit of the
day, made a pertinent suggestion of a
refoiTii that -ought to be put into immedi
ate exeexxtion. He said:
Above your head, Mr. Speaker, I see
the inxage and presentment of the Eagle
—our national emblem. In the name of
equality, sir, I demand what business
has he there? He is a monarch—the
king of birds. He is not a fit emblem
for xxs in these times—na pi-oper
i-epiesentative of the prevalent idea. I
suggest that he be torn down, as the
French toi-e down the monogram of the
Emperor. Do you ask me what bird
could, with propriety, be put in his place?
The crow, sir. He is a bird of medium
size, and therefore embodies well, the
idea of the levellers. His plvunage is of
the favoiite color, so dominant with the
popular party. [Laughter.] I will not
—because it would seem ungracious—
cany out the parallel in its details, and
show how fit an emblem for the times he
is in other respects, such as his thieving
propensities, and the like. [Laughter.]
I think wlxat has been suggested is suffi
cient to satisfy you that if this bill is
to pass, the so-called reformers should at
least amend it, by providing that the
eagle shall henceforth come down from
his proud perch, and the crow be exalted
in his stead. [Laughter.]
Vance in South Carolina.
Gov. Yance was in Greenville, South
Carolina, last week last Saturday, and
mightily showed up the disconsolate Pal-
mettoes with a speech full of hope and
encouragement. A correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier writes:
Gov. Yance, of North Carolina, has been
here for a few days, and is the “sensation
of the week” and “lion of the day.” He
delivered a lecture on Thursday last, in
the Court-house, on “The Scattered Na
tion,’ the Jews, which was well prepared,
full of instruction, and delivered with
great eloquence. But last night, his
stump speech in the Court-house, all “im-
promptix,” to a solid mass of people, was
as you may well suppose, of the highest
order. As a stump speaker he has not
his cqxxal in the South and not in the
Uixion. His subject was “Hope for South
Carolina,” and he took the ground that
this prostrate State would yet attain to a
greater glory and wealth, and splendor,
than she has ever attained. That the
present State government must go down.
First—The necessities of the Republican
party demanded that they should “un
load” South Carolina. Second—That a
returning sense of justice at the North
called for it. Third—That corruption
compels from its natxxre disintegration.
Foixrth—That Africans, from their past
history and natural incapacity, could not
govein Anglo-Saxons. Fifth—That with
out slavery we would prosper more than
with it, etc. But it was not logic alone;
anecdote followed anecdote, one often in-
tei’polating another: repartee, wit, drollery;
surprise here and ixximitable acting there,
all together mesmeiized the audience.
Clapping followed clapping; the people
almost screamed with rapture and delight.
It did much to cheer our people, and all
now feel -Nil Desperandum." The re.
public is not dead but sleepeth, and shall
arise to new life. The citizens procured
a splendid ladeau, with four noble grays
in tandem, anti drove him over the city.
The Eastman Atlanta Easiness
College.
This institution has achieved a success
which is unparalleled in the history of
Commercial Colleges. Starting in Atlanta
Ga., May 9tli, 1871, with four students, it
lias ali-cady sent out to the business world
nearly THREE HUNDRED STUDENTS
to attest its superior merits. The secret
of its wonderful success is, 1st it is the
only College in the South that is conduc
ted on the Actual Business Plan. 2nd, it
keeps np, to the letter of its advertise
ments; 3d, it is conducted by men who
have had years of experience as practical
accounts, business men and teachers. The
total cost for a full course, including
board, washing, tuition, books and station
ery, will not exceed $130. For specimens

PAIN-KILLER.
1840. 1874.
Time Tcsls Ihe Merits of all Things.
111114}' years is certainly long enough
time to prove the efficacy of any medicine,
and that the Painkiller is deserving of all
its proprietors claim fur it, is amply
proved by the unparalleled popularity it
has attained. It is a sure and effective
remedy. It is sold in almost evei'y coun
try in the world, and it needs only to be
known to be prized, and its reputation as
a Medicine of Great Virtue, is fully and
permanently established. It is the great
Family Medicine of the age. Taken in
ternally, it cures dysentery, cholera, diar
rhoea, cramp and pain in the stomach,
bowel complaint, Painters’ colic, liver
complaint, Dyspepsia, or indigestion, sud
den colds, sore throat, and coughs. "Taken
externally, it cures bruises, Boils, felons,
cuts, burns, scalds, old sores and sprains,
swellings of the joints, toothache, pain in
face, neuralgia and rheumatism, chapped
hands, frost bitten feet, Ac.
Pain is supposed to 1 te the lot of us
poor mortals, as inavitabie as death, and
liable at any time to come upon us. There
fore it is important that remedial agents
should be at hand to be used on emer
gency, when we are made to feel the ex-
craeiating agony of pain, or the depress
ing influences of disease. Such a remedial
exists in Peiry Davis’ “Pain Killer,” the
fame of which has extended over all the
earth. Amid the eternal ices of the Polar
regions, or beneath the intolerable and
burning suns of the tropics its virtues are
known and appreciated. And by it suf
fering humanity has found relief from
many of its ills. The effect of the Pain-
Killer xxpun the patient when taken inter
nally in cases of cough, bowel complaint,
cholera, dysentery, and other affections
of the system, has been truly wonderful
and has won for it a name among medical
preparations, that can never be forgotten.
Its sxxccess in removing pain, as an exter
nal remedy, in cases of bxxrns, braises,
sores and sprains, cuts, stings of insects.
Tfec., and other causes of suffering has se-
exu-ed for it the most prominent position
among the medicines of the day. Beware
of coixn forfeits and worthless imitations.

Sustain the Sinking System-
The flashes of excitement produced by the stimulants
of ordinary use, are followed by a reaction that is al
ways more or less injurious. Just as the darkness,
illuminated for a moment by the lightning’s glare be
comes apparently blacker than ever after tbe flash is
over, so the mental gloom and pbysioal debility that
vanish temporarily under tbe influence of a dram, re
turn with a ten-fold intensity when the first transient
effect ceases. Yet physicians habitually prescribe the
liquors of commerce for patients suffering from bodily
weakness and mental despondency. Tbs true remedy
in sncli cases is a pare stimulant medicated with the
finest tonics and alteratives which the vegetable king
dom affords, and Uostetter’a Stomach Bitten is the
only preparation at present known which meets the
emergency. Tbe effect of this popdlar restorative is
continuous. Each dose teken invigorates tbe vital en
ergies and tbe brain, and ita jfrolonged ase will un
questionably care any case of debility, hypnrhOdria,
er mental torpidity that does not arim trom organic
causes beyond the reach of medicine. It is in the
strictest sense of the word, an invigorating aad regn
luting cordial. If tkonervee axe tramaleoa aad re
laxed, it relieves them; if the bowels are constipated,
it relieves them; if the liver is torpid, it promotes ac
tivity in that organ; if the mind is gloomy, it dears
away the donds; if the appetite is poer aad digestion
a slow end painful operation, it creates arsRsh for food
