Tnn Constitution of Sunday learns tho

of the bridge reported in tbo afternoon
edition: Tho bridgo caught on fire nbout
11 o’clock Friday ntght from, os is sup

failed to discover the fire, as it caught
about the contra. The wind was blowing
fiercely at the time, and sent the flames
whirling and crackling through all tho
timbers of tho bridgo. The bridgo is
partly wood nnd partly iron. When tho
wood burned through at the ends the
red hot iron dropped into tho river, and
os tho mass struck tho water it sont up
tho spray with a hissing sound. There
are two passenger trains on eithor side of
the rivi-r bank. A large force is nt work,
and a now bridgo will be put up in a few
days. In tho meantime passengers will
be transferred in fifteen minutes, nnd
there will bo no detention. Tho passen-
gor train did not loaro last night, hut

Tbs Columbus "locals” stumble upon
more romances than any other in tbo

Wo havo just heard a romantic story.
We give no names or place, and hence no
promises expressed or implied arc broken.
TwO loved. All have read the novels .and
know how ho wooed nnd won. Both were
young, nnd "she was tho ocean to tho
river of his thoughts.” Byron’s readers
can recollect the rest. We used to spout
it in tho " halcyon days.” " Papa” was
obdurate. Tho beauteous maiden was too
young. Sho differed, and met the fond
cavalier, niul hied away. Then came ad
ventures, They were in a buggy. A

tion had its charms of course, but there
is too much of n good thing when one is

Tnx Atlanta Commonwealth gives the
following explanation of the cause of the

peniion was caused by the course of Mr.

tors ot tbo Courier; that the money to
•tart the paper, after the closing up or

Mr. Woodward giving his note and a
Mortgage on the material to secure the
Payment of the loam that afterwards
Woodward went into tho Constitution of
fice as book-keeper, selling hts interest
in the Co uier to his brother-in-law, Mr.
A E. Er»in. the latter giving Wood war 1
his coto and mortgage; and that on
^edne-day the sheriff made a levy un
der the mortgage given by Erwin to
Woodward, nnd carried off the sub^erp*
bon book. If this is a correct statement
the affair, we would rather be in the
u ( .f ;inv one concerned in it than
12 that of Mr. Woodward.

Tboso who imagined that Belknap cor
ruption began and ended with the sale of
the tradership at Fort Sill must prepare
themselves for disclosures which will
show that, with but few favored excep
tions, tho officer#- and soldiers at almost
every military poet on tho frontier were
systematically plundered by Belknap and
his confidants in order to maintain him
in his extrnvaganco. The fact that a man
filling so high and honorable a station
should ptoop so low and become so cor'
rapt must bo "accepted as a cause of re
gret to tho entire nation. The following
developments, however, substantiated by
documentary evidence embracing facts
and figures in tho bandwriting of tbe
guilty parties, will still further humiliate
the American people when it is learned
that
UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE
which your correspondent has soen and
heard will be sent from this place for
Washington in a few days, proving that
within one week after Belknap’s instal
lation as Secretary of War ho began Ills
scheme for tho sale of all tho promi
nent tmderships on tho frontier; that
they were eventually disposed of for
money, a single post, that of Fort Lin
coln, opposite this town, paying to Bel
knap nnd his friends more than §12,000
yearly—other smaller poets paying to
tho same portion in proportion—and that
m the barter and sale of these posts the
evidence referred to will show that one
Senator, one cx-Senator—both from the
same Stato, the latter now Governor of
a Territory—and an ex-Govi-rnor of a
Territory now holding a high nnd re
sponsible position in tho War Depart
ment, and an ex-Territorial Marshal,
have all been deeply implicated. Ex-
Governor Campbell, of Wyoming, made
a special visit to Washington to oontrol
the appointment and sale of post trader-
ships. On hts return he announced
through his brother—whoso letter your
correspondent has soon, and whiob, with
other connecting documents — will be
forwarded by mail—that he had suc
ceeded in hts mission, and none but ad
ministration men should hold post tra-
dership*. In tho letter it is demanded
that, whilo
THE CAMPBELL BROTHERS
are to receive a thin! of the profits, they
nre to supply none of the capital; it is to
bo kept secret that Gov. Campbell is in
terested Gov. Campbell’s brother, in ar-
rangeing terms, said he could not close
tho bargain until he had submitted them
to tho Governor. J- M. Hendrick, of
Ottumwn, Iowa, who oocnpies the same
position there in Internal Revenue that
Joyce did at St. Louis, is known to have
been the recipient of hun.ir.-ds of th ins-
auds of dollars from the sale of post tra-
dersbips. which sums can be traced to
other parties holding high official posi
tions, including Belknap. One letter
from Hedrick, written in 1870, announ
ces that ho can control any tradership in
any department. Another letter to a
post trader, finding fault with tho lat
ter for tbo small profits derived, says,
speaking of Gen. Rico, of Iowa, “ You
knew Rice is a bachelor of expensive
habits living iu Washington. He must
have his rodfishing in summer and hts
trip to Florida in Winter, and yon must
ponv up aud keep him going. Ho can t
livo'on less than $10,000 a year.” The
trader at Fort Lincoln, fearing removal
a few weeks ago, Orville Grant’s clerk at
Standing Rock advised him to see Grant.

KILUOCKXK’S SECRET.
President cram’s Real Estate Tran
sactions Kept frum ih« Public Etc.
Special dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette.]
Washington, March 14—The motive
which has kept Hallett Kilbourne from
divulging the Dames of members of the
real estate pool has transpired to-night,
and furnishes an additional reason for
not wi-hing to connect Hlysses 8. Grant,
President of the United States, with op
erations and transactions with the ring.
When the District of Colombia investi
gation was in progress, daring the first
session of the Forty-third Congress, Mr.
Kilbourne was an important witness. He
refused then, as he lias tbe special com
mittee of this Congress, to divulge the
names of the members of tho real estate
pool. The private books of Messrs. Kil
bourne, Latta Si Olmstead would then
havo revealed information which would
have involved the President and con
demned the ring forever. The majority
of the committee were Republicans,
and no reason was ever given for not pnt-
ring Mr. Kilbourne in contempt of the
Forty-third Congress, as he is to-day fn
contempt of tbe Honse of Representa
tives of the Forty-fourth Congress,
The inve-tiuntion closed. No notice
was taken of Kilbourne's refusal to an
swer, and then the matter was supposed
to be ended. It wns never thought that
the Fall election of 1874 would send to
Congress a Democratic majority, and
whilo the Republicans were in power
there was no danger of involving or per
mitting any high official to be involved
in tho scandal of real estate speculations
brought upon the Administration. There
was Babcock, who in 1869 swore, and an
army officer never commits perjury, that
his salary alone barely supported him.
Now he is worth between oue and one
hundred and fity thousand dollars, as tbe
records of the office of the recorder of
deeds and the old record of tho collector
ot internal revenue in this city positive
ly show. But in 1874 Kilbourne refused
to answer the same questions that he
again refused to answer today. The
country will regret the sequel. During
the District investigation the private
books of Hallett Kilbourne would have
unmistakably shown that President
Grant was a partner in the real
estate pool, and the same fact would np-
pear to-day if tho committee could ob
tain possession of tho books. Now, more
than ever, it is important to conceal that
fact, and here is tho damning record. It
needs no elaboration or explanation, us it
is a copy from the official doenments:
No. 40, Hallett Kilbourne to U. S. Grant,
deed 10th of Decomber, 1873, recorded
June 6,1874, liber 733, folio 83, lots 51
and 52 in FendalTs squire 242, trustees’
subdivision of square 242, subject to a
deed of trust, dated 23d of July, 1872.
recorded in liber 6S0, folio 117, upon
which there remains unpaid of principal
tho snm of Bix thousand six hundred and
ninety-four dollars and sixty four cents,
and tho interest thereon from the 12th
day of December, 1873; also, subject to
another deed of trust, dated 30th of July,
1873, and recorded in liber COO, folio 230,
npon which there remains tinpnid of
principal the snm of three thousand and
sixty-six dollars and fifty-nine cents,
with interest thereon from July 3,1873,
which said incumbrances and deeds of
trust tho said Grant hereby assumes to
pay as part of the purchase money. Con
federation, twenty-two thousand three
hundred and fifteen dollars and fifty
cents.
It will be seen that pending tho inves
tigation from the time it w-'s talked of
on tbo assembling of tbe Forty-third
Congress, in December, 1875, to the time
the investigation closed, the record of
President Grant’s transactions was even
kept from the official records of the Dis
trict. Tho books of Kilbourne Si Latta
would havo shown tho transactions and
connection of Grant, and hence the re
fusal then to answer questions or pro
duce their so-called private hooks. After
tho investigation was over tho transac -
tions of the President were recorded-
Tho rest of the story is worse than the
beginning, nnd explains why Mr. Kil
bourne refuses to.answer tbe interroga
tions of the Houso committee, preferring
even a room in tho common jail to com
promising himself by divulgtng now
what bo refused, and was protected in
refusing, to give to.tbo District Joint
Investigating Committee of the Forty-
third Congress. Tho property above
mentioned is located at the intersection
of Rhode Island avenue circle and Thir
teenth street. Every inch of curbing,
every square foot of tho finest asphalt
pavement, every yard of flagging was
said for by the United States, the circle
raiug a publie reservation. More than
that, the work of improving the
President’s interest in the real estate
pool was intrusted to Gen. Babcock, Su
perintendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds, and thousands upon thousands
of dollars were orpended in beautifying
this particular locality at tho expense of
the people of this country tn excess of
the sums paid in other quarters, while
tho citizens of the District were addi
tionally taxed to pay for the extraordina-
ny and uncalled for improvements which
were to make real estate in an unpopu
lated part of Washington a desirable in
vestment to seekers after good sites for
residences. The circle above named
corresponds with the circle on which ex-
Senator Stewart’s residence fronts, at the
intersection of Connecticut avenue. The
record can not be obliterated, and though
Mr. Kilbourne refuses to answer it is his
silent accuser, and the interpreter of his
silence might ns well descend from ths
fourth story of the District jail, where
be is incarcerated to-night, and give the
committee that which Is herewith given,
without the aid of a duces tecum or a sub
poena from the real estate pool commit
tee.

Gen. Gortlon’s Speech.
The respectable journals of the coun

Gordon in his effort st revenue reform.
The New York Poif says of the debate
which followed tbe introduction of his
resolution: “ One of tbe pitiable fea
tures of such a debate is the utter ina
bility of men like Sherman and Edmunds
we expect nothing of Morton—to un
derstand that the time has pi- 5 ed when
it will suffice to excuse the failures of
the Republican party by references to
its services in the war; that the people,
who Are suffering under & weight of
present ills, demand the application of
practical remedies, and not panegyrics
on achievements of the past. What does
a tax-payer of to-day care whether or not
the existing corruption which is calling
down on tbe nation the scorn of the rest
of the world con be traced back to tbe
war os an original cause and thns be at
tributed to the authors of the rebellion ?
If it can be. was not Mr. Gordon, tne ex
rebel. worthy of all the more praise for
s eking a reform of this corruption?
Tbe corruption is an admitted fact—ad
mitted in the courts even by tbe counsel
who were defending the secretary of a
Republican President—and it is discour
aging enough to find Senators like Sher
man and Edmunds blinding tdeir eyes to
the necessities of the day in their eager
desire to prevent a political opponent
from obtaining any credit for his good
intentions.”

Calamitous Fire In Chariest**.
Charleston, March 20.—A fire broke
out at three o’clock thii morning on the
corner of King street and Rogers’ alley.
There was no water in ths neighborhood
and the wind was blowing a gale from
the southeast. The whole block, from
Columbus to Line street on tbe east and

stroyed. About seven o’clock the fire
crossed Line street—the sparks and em
bers being carried by ths gale three-
quarters of a mile up King street road.
The houses, fences and farms along that

Capital Notes.
Washington, March 20.—Mrs. King-
man, wife of E. Kingman, lifetime cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier,
is dead.
The north gallery of the House, known
as the small-pox gallery, is not opened
till after prayor. Admission to the
other gallery is by ticket, easily ob
tainable by decently clad people.
No Southern nominations to-day.
Ex-Senator Stewart, of the Emma
mine, is here.
Contracts for fine government printing
paper show about a cent per pound de
cline.
The Treasury will receive fourteen
tons of silver this week.
Stiver coin in the Treasury vaults not
$30,000 Fractional currency in the
vaults $2,000,000.
Bristow, before the WarErpenses Com
mittee, testified that Mr. Groom, of
Kentucky, asked him to argue a case
before the Court of Claims. Groom, by
the collapse of the rebellion and tho fail
ure of the Government to take mules,
had lost two hundred thousand dollars.
Bristow for a small retainer and expenses
and a contingent fee of ten per cent.,
made an argument. He had nothing
beyond to do with the case except intro
ducing Groom to the Attorney General
as a gentleman of character and stand
ing. The argument was on questions of
law, not of facts. Bristow was not in
office at the time of the argument.
Judgment was rendered January 5,1874,
and approved by Belknap February 4th.
It was made special by Assistant Secro-
retary of the Treasury Sawyer, passed
uDon by Comptroller Broadhead, and
$108,750 paid February 6th. Note the
unusually good time.
Tho thirty thousand dollar draft paid
to a person for Mra. Bowers, by a New
York bank, did not belong to Pendleton;
but to a Cincinnati bank which had dis
counted it for Pendleton.
The Star says there is a reason to say
that thu3 far the developments do not
fulfill the expectations excited by the
first announcement.
' The resolution adopted unanimously
by tbe Committee of Elections to the
effect that all Congressional distriets of
the United States must be composed of
contiguous territory, and as near as may
bn of equal populations, and that the
Legislature of South Carolina now in ses
sion, ought at once to correct the illegal
construction of the Third Congressional
district of that State, now represented
by J. L. Hogo. It is very well under-
stood thac it was intended to allow the
State the opportunity to correct the error
herself, but if the State persists in this
unfair districting, there is no doubt that
the committee will feel bound to take the
whole matter into their own hands, and
will act with promptness and decision
Dana.
The Star says: “Richard H. Dana, Jr.,
after asking to be heard by tho Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations, has
mounted his high-stepping Harvard
horse and published a letter in Boston
which, had a pleblan written it, would
have been styled impertinent. He evi
dently wishes to be made a martyr of,
and he will be gratified. Dana is an
accomplished, hightoned gentleman, hut
he lacks common sense, and Ben Butler
is too much for him.’’
Another of the Same Sort.
Mrs. S. G, Wasson writes, she says, at
great peril to herself, that Georgia peni
tentiary convicts are lashed and strained
so that several havo died. Pierrepont
has sent a letter to Senator Clayton, say
ing it affects United States prisoners.
The Judiciary Committee will investigate
it.
The Supreme Court.
Cose No. 880, Henderson and Hender
son vs. the Commissioners of Emigra
tion, and No. 663, the Commissioners
of Emigration vs. North German Lloyd.
These are cases arising under the stat
utes of New York regulating emigra
tion. The opinion of the court, after
an elaborate review of the cases, is that
the legislation is in conflict with the
Constitution of the United States and
void. Also No. 47S, Chy Lnng vs. tho
Commissioners of Emigration, from Cali
fornia. The court say, in any view of
the case the law is held void, because
in conflict with the Federal Constitu
tion. Judgment reversed, with instruc
tions to dismiss the persons in custody.
This case involves the importation of
Chinese women for lewd purposes.
The Supreme Court again decides in
favor of Mrs. Gaines. She i3 a citizen of
New York, and is entitled to have her
case transferred ,to the United States
Court, and after a transfer of action, the
State Court is null. Waite, Swayne and
Bradley dissented.
MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Texas Pacific Road.
Washington, March 20.—The Senate
Railroad tlommittee had a full meeting
this morning and took into consideration
the various propositions looking to the
construction of a Pacific railroad on the
thirty-second parallel of latitude. The
TexaB Pacific, known as the Scott bill,
was considered in all its bearings, as also
the alternative proposition presented by
Mr. Hamilton, of Texas, to build a road
with no further subsidy than the land
grant. Soma definite action will proba
bly be taken on Monday -ext, to which
time the subject was postponed.
The Supreme Court.
In the case No. 166, Terry v3. Tab-
mon, error to tbe Circuit Court for the
District of Georgia, the court affirms a
judgment below dismissing the case,
which was an action to maki the stock
holders of a bank personally liable for
its circulating bills, on the ground that
a creditor cannot maintain a separate
action, seeking to obtain his entire debt
to the possible exclusion of others sim
ilarly situated; ths judgment being
that the proper proceeding is in equity,
where all the claims can be pre
sented, all the liabilities of the stock
holders ascertained and a just distribu
tion made.
Spencer.
The committee announced a ruling in
the Spencer case that evidence offered to
show what means were used to prevent
members of the Court-houoe Legislature
from going over to the Capitol body and
thus breaking the former's quorom is
not within range of testimony that can
properly be taken by this committee.

Another Denial.
Washington, March 20—It having
been charged that the confidential letter
of the Atterney General to District At
torneys, pending the whisky trials, met
with the approval of the President, it is
authoritatively denied that the President
ever saw the letter until it appeared in
print.
Foreign News.
London, March 20,—The rival boats’
crews from Oxford and Cambridge Uni
versities have arrived in town, and will
begin practicing on the Thames, between
Putney and Mortlake to day. The weath
er is very cold.
Letters from the Gordon exploring ex
pedition contain the following particu
lars : Col. Gordon, upon finding the Forta
Rapids impassable, conveyed his steamer,
which is fifty feet long, and two steel
boats over land to Duffli. Ho decided to
put the boats together again there. Col.
Gordon meanwhile proposes to march to
Mrooli, the capital ot Kaharaga, and
thence to Magungo. After returning to
Du fill he proposes to march westward to
Markrada.
Madrid, March 20.—King Alfonso and
his victorious troops entered the city
this morning, amid enthusiastic cheer
ing, immense crowds and shouts of
“ Long live the Pacificator King.”
Cheers were given for Generals Quesada,
Campas, Riviera and tho army generally.
Quesada and Campas were especially
greeted with cries of “ Long life to the
defenders of liberty,” and " Down with
the Fuero3." Crowns were thrown from
the balconies and pigeons liberated. The
people crowned the soldiers as they
passed with wreaths.
Versailles, March 20 —Copies of the
budget for 1877 have been distributed
among the Senators and Deputies. The
revenue is estimated at $534,4u0,000, and
expenditures $533,400,000. No increase
of taxation is proposed. The preamble
of the budget says: "Our resources are
not greater than our requirements. None
of the receipts of the treasury can, at
present, be spared. The Government
will not avail itself of the power to bor
row $8,000,000 from the Bank of France ;
on the contrary, it will be able to refund
$5,000,000 by anticipatory payment.
The treasury will have completely repaid
the Bank of France by 1879. This will
set free $30,000,000 yearly. It will be
only possible to propose a serious reduc
tion of taxes after this is accomplished.”
Tbo Republican Senators will intro
duce a motion to-morrow in favor of
raising the state of siege Tho Senate
and Chamber of Deputies will then be
able to discourse the raising of the siege
simultaneously.

gur
year of practice as a Medict.l Progressionist
— his thirty*fifth in Macon—by the announce
ment of a virtually new science that for some
time has been developing under his hands, de
nominated by him Mtdieal Endosmotism, be
cause it is by endosmose he introduces his reme
dies into the circulation. This enables him to
adopt a new route to tho liver and lungs, and
f^vea him a direct means of medicating the en -
tiro substance of these important organs. ltsUo
makes possible a pervasion of the entire capillary
system by unchanged medicated substances
through whose agency the dead and broken down
tissues can bo eliminated, and renders compara
tively easy tho purification of the living organi
zation, which is really of much more consequence
than simply purifying the blood. This method
renders the blood itself subservient to tho gen
eral purpose, ai d makes it tho messenger that,
carries the remedy wherever needed and tho ve
hicle that brings back tho dead mutter to be
ejected from the body.
THIS NEW ROUTE
is by tho portal vein, tho only direct lino between
the stomach and the liver which heretofore hat
uot beeu specially utilized in the scientific treat
ment ot disease, and »s compared with that by
the convulotions of tlieintestiuos, the rocoptac-
uluni chyli, and tho thoracic duct is as the light-
nuw express of modern improvement to tho slow
coach of departed centuries. This route to
which he has adapted his therapist enables him
to dispense, in a great measure, with even tho
concentrat’Hl crudities of tho schools, whilo it
gives him oontrol of tho operations in the great
woik-houso of tbo body, the capillaries, where
alone that body is built up. and where too it is
consumed. The fires of life arc fed in tho capil
laries, and it is there they are extinguished, for
n them we literally “die daily,** and in them aro
re-created, for outsido of them it single particle
of fleshly substance cannot ba elaborated from
tho blood in man or beast. Everything in it> or
der and for its own use, showing the most perfect
fcjstem in tho works of creation, the digestive
i.vstem for tho manufacture of blood, tho valu
er for its conveyance or transmission, while in
tho capillaries alono is elaboration ami organiza
tion possible.
AND THOSE CAPILLARIES,
a labyrinth of vessels, so minute and hiir-Iiko
that five thousand of their diameters would
hardly make an inch, yet into which every drop
of arterial blood—itself composed of millions of
microscopic globules—is made to enter, and pass
ing along conics In contact with worn-out tissue,
dissolves it, supplies its place, and aided bv the
absorbents brings it to tho veins, tho sowers id
tho boiy, into which it poors, no longer tho
bright, pure pabulum of life, but tho dark, foul
stream, loaded with every impurity of whoso
iroduction tho deith of tho tissues is capable.
Massing the various depurators this mass is ren
dered capable of nutrition again—is again sent
to the capillaries for elaboration, anu wit h it may
nt tho various therapeutic agencies useful
in clearing the way and eliminating the matters
that, if ado wad to remain would make perma
nent obstructions. With free capillary action
there is health invariably; but if from nnyc&uso
these minute vessels become benumbed, con
stricted or collapsed so that the dead matter can
not bo forced through and out. then wo havo dis
ease. the whole varied phenomena of fever ami
inflammation may be presented, but cannot bo
cured till these channels are reopened for tho ex
it of the dead and the free entrance of the life-
giving pabulum again.
IF THESE OBSTRUCTIONS BE LOCAL,
slight effort af nature, an acceleration of tho
heart’s action proprls the b'ood against them
and they aro removed— the inflammation thus
produced ends in resolution. Ii the obstruction
bo more permanent, suppuration results, if per
manent and extensive, gangrene or d* ath of tho
parts will be the consequence. If these obstruc
tions be general, fever sets n as tho natural ef-
fort to romovo tnem; it successful, perspiration
is induced and quiet is restored to thocireulution;
if the effort fails or is thwarted bv ignorant or
presumptuous interference, death may result, **r
a quasi kind of life in the .shape of chronic dis
ease, in which nature adapts hersel to the con
dition ana makes the most of it. Should the-***
obstructions exist in the body or capillaries of
the liver, then there is induration, or, perhaps,
suppuration; if in the substance or mriguimun
capillaries of the lungs, hupitisation, ItiberclcH
and consumption follow; if in the muscles and
joints, rheumatism, in the brain, m uralgin, man-
lit, etc. These capillary impediments may be
said emphatically to bo the pets of
ANTI PH LOG 1ST] CISM,
for when they occur, nothing is allowed to touch
or come near them, and if nature makes an effort
for their removal, sh* is put in chains at i nee.
Would sh« impinge the blood against them wiih
increased force as in fever or inflammation, the
power of the hea-t is arrested or paralyzed by
sedatives ortho blood itself withdrawn directly
by the lancet, or its elements indirectly by hy-
percatharaia. Should their presence cause prin.
as they naturally do, the powers of narcotization
are invoked, the sensorium is paralyzed aiul sen
sation deadened, that these obstructions may
be comfortably accommodated. A little stimulus
might aid in their removal, but that is strictly
prohibited, anything may bo done to, und
suffered by the systi m, the life itself jeopar
dized or lost, as it has been million'- ol times in
medical history, rather than disturb for a mo
ment these obstructions, that but for tbo falla
cious ideas that Jiave governed the medical world
for centuries, would nave been commanded by
common sense to be removed at once.
ECLECTICISM. THE MODERN SORT,
withdraws no blood directly, deals largely in se
dation, affects vemtum veride, strychnine and
prussic acid and their congenei*9, all of which
tend to depress tho life power and prevent tho
heart from exerting much if any force within tho
capillaries. Thomsonism, pure nnd simple, exer
cises great relaxing power upon the peripheral
capillaries, but its them pm is by many deemed
objectionable, ami it, bus Ihxiii found in practice
somewhat deficient where those of tho interior
are involved: hence the necessity of sending a
earcher or solvent to the inm-rraost bodily re
cesses where lodgements exist to change and
bring them forth.
This is the chosen work of
MEDICAL ENDOSMOTISM,
and when its agencies, easily taken, are properly
selected, they do it effectually. When these ob
structions exist in the liver no precious time is
lost in vain efforts to remove them by endeavors
to afford that viscus by tlie introduction of agen
cies, through its emunctory or outlet, thit
scientific mode (?) it* l**ft to allopathy nnd it*
congeners, tdo liver regulator men, but Us en
trance is av&ilf*. of by the route of the portal
vein, and its action stimulated und enforced in a
potential and intelligible way. Iu like munner
when in the substance of the lungs ii would be
waste of tune to attempt their removal through
the air cells, because until the lung break** down
there can be no outlet for them in that direction,
the dead end worn-out matter of tin* lung cannot
be got ria of by expectoration. Allopathy pro
poses nothing else, and of course fails in every
instance to cure consumption, though by her he
roic treatment of pneumonia millions of cases of
that disease have bren produced. The capabili
ties of Endosrnotic medication by the [> >■. t n vein
are of vast importance 1 and the v^rihilili' **
ol the future, if not already at hie veil, embrace a
certain remedy for that fell disease by the cl.rui
nation of such injurious matter* as liave hereto
fore been allowed to fester in their lodgments
without tbe shadow of an effort being made to
•ject them. In such cns_*s, and indeed in every
form of
CHRONIC DISEASE,
well selected Endosmotics give great advantages
and aro freely availed of by tho undersigned in
his extensive administrations. His long expe
rience enables hirn to judge with correctness as
to what m needed, and hi- intimate knowlediro
of thri remedial xvi-nts of all schools, makes it
easy toadantthem or hia own to tne *-**»•* in nnnd.
Using nothing that ran depress tho life power
he has no hesitatian in sending his romedie 1 * any-*
where on their mission of mercy and he ling, aiid
ll do so to any postoffice in ti;e country or tho
world, on the reception of a h tier descriptive of
the main feature* of the case in sue!) language as
a patient would use to a visiting phyn'cian.
As heretofore, ho proposes to trea«. h »reat
number at a small charge to each, rather *han a
few at exorbitant rates, and therefore place” the
amount for a six week*’ supply at, say ten c. '•
lars, free, by mail. Those in limited circumstan
ces from war losses, or otherwise, will be treated
for five, the indigent poor gratuitously. There i-,
therefore.no reason why any afflicted man >r wo
man should not enjoy the fruit* of his medical
research and labors in his or her own person, and
he trusts that none will be content to die w ithout
testing the curative powers of Medical Endos-
motisrh, nor be satisfied with mere blood-purifi
er* when the purification of the living tissues
themselves is within their reach.
