I . General Houston, by making a personal 9 on Mr. Siansbery, a member of the House, ■rds spoken in debate, was guilty .of a con- ! I . id. v iolaiiou of the privileges of the House. ’ 3 immittee acknowledge the force of these I Vnis, and adopt the reasoning quoted from i 1 11 Mvltiitlic's report. while it is The opinion of the committee that I —unit was a breach of the privileges of the ' tv, ilno also think that it is not within the jit- ! n of the Senate, and eau only he punished j House of Representatives, of which Mr. I ■ » a member. i'li - pinion is in strict conformity with the re- i V:.'d parliamentary law. 1 i.-soll. in liis Precedents, says as follows: Hie leading principle which appears to per- 1 ill tbe proceedings between the two Houses j i’.ulianieiit is, that there shall subsist a perfect aliiv with respect to each other; and that they 1 j ei lie, ill every respect, t tally independent one j lie oiher. From hence it is, that neither House claim, much less exercise, any authority over j ! i inber of tbe other ; but, if there is any ground j aiplaint against an act of the House itself, j . .iiisi any individual member, or against any of j officers of either House', this complaint ought made to that House of Parliament where the I ‘ nee is ebarged to be committed ; and the na- I and mode of redress or punishment, if pnn ,l.ll! is necessary, must be determined upon i inflicted bv them. Indeed, any other proceeding 1 soon introduce disorder and confusion: as it os actually to have done in those instances if.:.. both Houses, claiming a power indepon -1 .: of each other, have cxercis, d that power up | same subject, but with different views and J Hilary purposes.”—i 3 Hatsell, A7. t | ■We see, from the several precedents above | led, that neither House of Parliament can take I -Ives io redress anv injury or punish . o breach of privilege ottered to them by anv • camber of the other House; but that, in such • s.'s, ihe usual mode of proceeding is to examine ' 1 the fact, and then to lay a statement of that donee before the House of which the person mplained of is a member.”—( Ibid, 71.) Mr. Jett'erson, in the Manual of Parliamentary • •rice. prepared by him, lays down tlie follow- g rule: " Xtilher House can exercise any authority over iuembt-r or officer of the other, but should coni i.ou to the House of which he is, and leave the punishment to them.” A brief examination of the Constitutional privi- ' ;-'ges of Senators and Representatives will show soundness of this rule of Parliamentary law. ' The Constitution provides article 1, section 0 ) ii! "they shall in all eases, except treason, felo > and breach of the peace, be privileged from ' •crest during their attendance at the sessions t their respective houses, and in going to and re citing from the same.” But the Senate is not a court of criminal judica tre. empowered to try the excepted offences. It iuuot take cognizance of a breach of the peace ... It cannot take anv notice of it except as 5 breach of its privileges, and in this character it - not one of the cases in which the privilege from 'n s: is accepted. The Senate, therefore, for a i U of it privileges, cannot arrest a member of House of Representatives, and, a fortiori , it -’mot try and punish him. That authority de lves solely upon the house of which he is a uieui lt is the opinion of the committee, therefore, at the S uate cannot proceed further itt the pre ; at cast than to make complaint to the House of !> ; resentatives of the assault committed by one 's members, the Hon. Preston S. Brooks, upon H a. t'harles Sumner. Senator from the State “l Massachusetts. The committee submit herewith, certain affida vits taken by them in this case, and the following i resolution : Itemlved, That the above report be accepted, and that a copy thereof, and of the affidavits ac , companying the same, be transmitted to the House of Representatives. Quettifru to Col. Nichokon. —Will you state to the i committee whether you witnessed the recent as sault upon Mr. Sumner; and if you did, state all the particulars? On Thursday last, the 22d of May inst., a few moments after the adjournment of the Senate I retired, as usual, to my desk in one of tbe offices’of the Secretary of the Senate. After the lapse of a brief period, I returned to the Senate Chamber to request the assistant doorkeeper (Mr. Holland to have a piece of money changed for me. After seeking the doorkeeper and communicating my wish to him, I was walking down the main aisle to the chamber, when I observed the Hon. Mr. Brooks of South Carolina, sitting at the desk of Senator Pratt. I saluted him, “How is Colonel Brooks | to-day? He responded, “ Well, I thank vou;” and beckoning to me, he added, “ Come here, Nichol ! son. I advanced, and placed myself in Senator ; Bayard’s chair, near which, on my right. Major j Emory, of the United States Army,'was standing, and with whom I had been conversing a few min utes before. Col. Brooks remarked to me in his usual tone of voice, and without the slightest show of inquietude, “ Doyou see that lady in the lobby?” Turning around, and observing a lady sitting on the lounge at a short distance from us, f said “Yes.” Col. B. said, “ she has been there for some time ; what does she want ? Can’t you manage to get her out? ' Thinking that Col. B. was only indulg ing a momentary whim, I jocosely replied, “No : ihat would be ungallant; besides, she is very pret ty.” Col. 8., turning round, and looking at the lady, said, “ Yes, she is pretty, hut 1 wish she would go.” At this moment the changed money was brought to me by one of the pages, and al most at the same moment Major Emory inquired, “Who was that gentleman voti were conversing with ?” I had scarcely said, “Colonel Brooks, of South Caro iua, a very clever fellowwhen, ob serving Colonel Brooks advancing in front of and towards, as though about to speak to Senator Sum ner, w i,o was sitting at his desk apparently enga ged in writing, or with papers before him. I can not be positive which, 1 involuntarily attempted to call Major Emory’s attention to the fact, for I was much surprised to see a South Carolina repreuta tive in the act of approaching to speak to Senator Sumner after the speech delivered by the latter the two previous days but onein the Senate. But before I could attract Major Emory’s attention or express surprise, 1 saw Colonel Brooks lean on and over the desk of Senator Sumner, and seemingly say something to him, and instantly, and while Sena tor Sumner was in the act of rising, Col. Brooks struck him over the head with a dark-colored walk ing cane, which blow he repeated twice or three times, and with rapidity, f think several blows had been inflicted before Senator Sumner was fully in possession of his locomotion, and extricated from his desk, which was thrown over or broken from its fastenings by the efforts of the Senator to ex tricate himself. As soon as Senator Sunnier was free from the desk be moved down the narnw pas sage-way under the impetuous drive of his adver sary, with his bands uplifted as though to ward off the blows which were rained on his head with as much quickness as was possible for any man to use a cane on another whom be was intent on elms rising. The scene occupied but a point of time— only long enough to raise the arm and inflict, some tcu or twelve blows in the most rapid succession —the cane having been broken in several pieces. All the while Senator Sumner was holding bis bands above bis bead, and turning and tottering, until lie sank gradually on the floor near Senator Collamer’s desk, in a bleeding and apparently ex hausted condition. I did not hear one word, or murmur, or exclamation from either party until the affair was over. Such was the suddenness of the affair, the rapidity of its execution, the posi tion iff persons in the chamber, and the relative po sition of the chairs and desks, that, although sev eral persons myself among them) quickly ad vanced to the spot where the parties were engaged, it was not in the power of those present to have separated Col. Brooks, or to have rescued Senator Sumner, so as to have prevented the former from accomplishing his purpose. Such was the conclu sion of mv judgment at the moment of the occur rence, and such it is now. .Tos. IE Niciioi-son. Washington, May 13,1852. By Mr. Allen. —What Senators were present at the time ? Sen itors Toombs, Pearce, and Crittenden were seated in their respective chairs just preceeding the affair. During its occurrence, and towards the close of it, I observed Mr. Crittenden near the parties, evidently striving to terminate the as sault. I cannot now say 1 observed any other Senators until the affair was over. What members of the House of Representatives were present? The only member of the House of Representa tives whom 1 recognised was the lion. Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, who approached the parties about the same time-Mr. C-itienden did. Jos. H. Nicholson. (Jrn stimi projionifjeil to Cor. Brown, of Mi**. — Please state to the committee the cause of the assault committed by Mr. Brooks upon Mr. Sum ner, as stated to you. Did Mr. Brooks state to you the cause of bis assault upon Mr. Sumner, and the language which lie addressed to Mr. Sumner just before the as sauli ? If so, please to tell the committee what his language was, or what the cause of the as sault. Ou the dav of the occurrence, and shortly after, L met Mr. Brooks in company with Mr. Keitt on the avenue, nearly opposite the Union buildings; after the usual .salutations, Mr. Keitt mentioned .vliat hadoccurred, and was proceeding to give .-mill' account of it, when Mr. Brooks interposed, with this remark: “The town, I suppose will he full of rumors in a few hours, and 1 desire my friends to understand precisely what 1 have done, and why I did it. Regarding the speech (of Mr. Sumner) as an atrocious libel on South Carolina, and a gross insult to mv absent relative, .Judge But ler, 1 determined, when it was delivered to pun ish him for if. To-day 1 approached him, after tlie Senate adjourned, and said to him, Mr. Stun ner, I have read yont speech carefully, and with as much calmness as 1 could be expected to read such a speech. You have libelled mv State and slandered mv relation, who is aged and absent, and 1 feel it to be m\ duly to punish you for it ; and with that 1 struck him a blow across the head with mv i ane. and repeated it until I was satisfied. No one inter]n- d, and 1 desisted simply because 1 bad punished him to mv satisfaction.” This is substantially and almost literally the | statement of Mr. Brooks. The conversation then turned on other points and phases of the affair. A. G. Brown. The resolution was adopted, and the report was ordered to be printed. Iroin the Ethical Companion, Erfra. Latest Indian News. Ocala, Fla., May 23. Bv the arrival otjMr. A. N. Pacetty, Expressman from Tampa, yesterday evening, we learn that a train carrving provisions to the State \ olunteers, on Peas Creek, was attacked by ten or fifteen In dians, on Saturday last, within twelve miles of Tampa, at a place known as Simmons’ Hammock. The party had just halted at a branch to drink, and as some of them were dismounting a little boy who was riding a horse attached to one of the wagons, saw an Indian behind a tree, and cried out, “ Father there’s ail Indian!” pointing to the s]i -it where he saw him. No sooner had the boy spoken than the Indians tired, and he fell from the bor>e, dead. The father caught up the dead body : of liis son and placed it in a wagon, when another volley was tired by the Indians, and he with anotli ; er man were killed. At the first fire, a negro belonging to the train, - started for an encampment where a detachment 1 fi in Captain Sparkman's Company were station ! c-d, onlv 2 miles distant. Two men only now re mained, and one of them wounded in the hip. They fired three times and tied. The Indians i aware of the direction taken by the negro, also - fled, leaving the teams, wagons, Ac., unhurt. i The persons killed were Mr. Roach, Mr. Star , - ]j n g and his son. Mr. Hinson was wounded in the l hip] Mr. lhvtfield and the negro man escaped un l 1 hurt. The attack was made at 12 o clock at noon. Privateering. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore “ foil,” under date of May 2sth says : Tin' adhesion of the United States to the propo sition of the European powers to abolish priva teering is, of course, much desired by England and France, as it deprives us of the chief and cheap means which we possess tor inflicting injury upon a commercial and maritime enemy and of bringing him to terms of peace. The United States in made an overture of this sort, and bad previously engrafted the principle upon one t ,f our earlv treaties. The United States would now embrace an otter to exempt all private property from capture, ei ther bv public or private armed vessels. But the proposition of the Paris Conference is that only public ships of war should be entitled to plunder private commerce. Os course this would giro a vast advantage to England or France, in conflict with us, and could not be for a moment entertain ed by our Government. There is a physician in Troy who starts business up, when it gets dull, by giving a “juvenileparty, and so crams the rising generation with pastrv and warm lemonade, that in twenty-four hours t cholera morbus gets among them that keeps him employed for the next three months. The Massachusetts Legislature adjourned oi the *>lst ult. The session is one of the long est on record. From the N. 0. Courier, May 27. War and its Effects. Questions which have sprung up lately between the United States and Great Britain have led men to look upon war between the two nations as a thing not at all impossible. Without at present touching upon the question, whether or not the present difficulties, if not arranged, would justify a resort to arms on our part—without entering into the calculation as to how far the commercial interests of the two countries can influence the Governments of either or both to make some little sacrifices rather than confront all the evils of war —we have been led to consider some of the facts which would materially mitigate the calamity. We would by no means be considered among tbe number of those who, desire war either with Great Britain or with any other country. To our minds “war” is a word which conjures up too much of human woe to be ever lightly spoken. If war comes upon us in spite of the wisdom and forbearance of our chosen rulers, we know too well that thousands must die, and tens of thou sands must suffer. We know that many wives must become widows, and many children orphans, j whenever the dread storm of war obscures our now serene sky. We know well that war would 1 dry up a main part of our commerce, stifle mer- j cautile enterprise, rob our fields and workshops of : their laborers, and fill the citizens of our seaport cities with apprehensions of speedy ruin. War is a sad and serious business—too sad to be brought on by the empty vanity of the ambitious —too serious to be incurred except from stern necessity. But while war is not, on the one hand to be wished, it is not on the other a tliiug which we should fear. Even as individual men should stand at the outposts of their own just rights, their j character and their honor, prepared to maintain j them at all hazards and at any sacrifice, so should j a nation be ready to lay down the implements of ! trade and husbandry to take up the musket and j the sword. The sound of Sabbath bells is no more welcome to the ear of the patriot in peace i than the clangor of bustling squadrons or the roar ! of booming cannon m time of an honorable war. If then war must come, we may console our- [ selves with the thought that it will not be an evil j altogether without mitigation. It is complained that a war with England would j diminish or destroy our commerce. But if we are I shut out from an European trade our own mami- 1 factures will be the more stimulated. Necessity j will teach us to depend upon our own resources, j Should European fleets cut oil' our commerce, we j shall cease to incur millions of annual debt for European merchandise. It is well known that the balance between what we buy of Europe more than we sell, is made up by the transfer of our national, State, bank, railroad and other stocks to European capitalists or to their agents here. This drain from our capital, or this transfer of our wealth into European hands, war would at once ef fectually if not permanently check. \\ e sell io Europe grain and other necessaries of life we import in exchange, in addition to much which may be considered as necessary, much which, on the contrary, subserves mere luxury. 1 Millions now expended by the United States for 1 foreign gewgaws and useless trinkets, would be i saved in the event of War—an amount almost , equal to the entire cost of the war itself. These , foreign appliances of luxury and ostentation have been for years corrupting a large class of our peo- ' pie, rendering them effeminate in habits as well as vain, and disposed to ape foreign absurdities. War would put an end to this extravagant outlay for foreign superfluities, and in part restore the Aiuer- ! icau people to their early simplicity. War would teach our females to lay aside the gorgeous trap- 1 pings nf the European manufactories, and clothe themselves in the products of the American loom and workshops, while the young men who now flaunt iu foreign broadcloths and silks would work t (or fight } in honest homespun. A war with any foreign power would cultivate a wholesome national American and independent t feeling among us. It would at once allay all our ( petty sectionalisms, and all the bitterness of party i strife We should be and feel towards each other like a nation of brothers once more, with a com mon enemy to contend against—a common danger r to avert—a common honor to sustain—a common 1 glory to win—-with no rivalry but that of who should be best, bravest and noblest in the presence of a common foe. j War now would heighten the estimation in I j which we are held by our kindred republics on ( this continent, as well as by nations that aspire to j liberty elsewhere. The chivalrv, the bravery, and j high-toned honor of the American people, which ] Europeans are apparently beginning to forget, j j would become a reality again. ( A war with a formidable antagonist would de velop the courage, the self-devotion, the «oul of our j ■ people. Men never so well know their strength as when called upon to use it in self-defence. There I is danger that the too long duration of peace will j leave us to feast upon revolutionary glory and our j j past achievements, until we lose the virtues and the courage by which those achievements were accomplished and that glory was won. Wars are inevitable lie who hopes for perpet ual peace is the one who expects the sky forever j clear. As human nature is, war, at longer or short- ’ er intervals, is a necessity. The only thing that j can prevent the larger European powers from j making aggressions on our rights for any length ' of time, is the existence or the imminent fear of 1 war with each other. Let them settle their “East tern” question, and they will soon seek fora “West ern” question a bone of contention. In view of , this necessity we are not doing justice to ourselves j , by remaining unprepared hut it is the misfortune | of our form of government never to be prepared . until danger begin-- to thicken around ns. A war would awaken us to a due sense of this ttnnvoida- j . hie necessity. From the J/.0-o/t Telegraph, Mityi"!, V Xcw Shuffle Vsketl For. We lind the following in the Macon Jour,ml <f- < J/<-<(-/( //, of last Wednesday. The proposition to abandon all the alleged principles of Know \othmgisni and rally upon a mere personal issue, is so siguitiea lit that it deserves a passing notice : Hon 11k Snot l.r> nr. ID s. Most fully and hearti ly do we subscribe to the following sentiment of the Alabama Journal. As Millard Fillmore ! showed himself every inch the President of the 1 whole profile, and not the tool of party or faction. 1 let him be run for re-election as the candidate <jt' the people in the pending contest : “Let him be run as Millard Fillmore,” says the Journal, “and on the principles declared in prac- ! tire in his administration, testing his views and 1 principles by the plain and enduring record of his art-i, not bv vague generalities on paper. “Mr. Fillmore running on Ids own merits and on . his own principles, as tested by his Administra tion, will concentrate all the elements of the Op position, and his success is certain.” This is a scheme of politicians reduced to the last straits of desperation. To “concentrate all the elements of the Opposition,” is, as a matter of ■ course, to unite adherents of every factious ism j which disturbs the peace and impairs the dignity j of the country. If this were practicable, it is evi dent the result would not establish or confirm a single principle, and it is equally certain that every | one of these “conflicting elements of the opposi- | tion” must he at dagger’s point so soon as Mr. Fillmore developed the policy of his administration If that policy should be fair and constitutional, its only effective support must come from tlie Demo- ; cratic party —certainly from northern Know Noth ingism, which voted almost unanimously for Speak er Hanks, it could have nothing to hope for. If, on the other hand, it should carry out the Philadelphia Platform and demand a re-enactment of the Mis souri restriction, where will the southern “element of opposition” be? If the country were in a state of , profound repose—important questions all settled— i no substantial principle at issue we could then af ford to go into a mere personal canvass. But a mo mentous issue upon Constitutional principles is be fore us, and we cannot escape it. To fail now in the successful assertion of the i | Constitutional equality of the southern States, is to fail for all time and abandon all hope of equity and peace in the confederacy. One inch of ground abandoned to unconstitutional fanaticism loses ns | the whole field. Is it possible, therefore, a* , such a time, to imagine a more suicidal proposi- i tion than the foregoing? Can a mere factious op . position to the Democratic party go further, than j g that, at such a time, when the North is preparing to assert a sectional superiority at the ballot box, 1 southern men should propose substantially to waive principle, and go in for a third candidate upon his mere personal merits! It southern Know Nothings are really weary and disgusted with their organization —if they see and are ready e to confess that Know Nothiugism asserts no prin ciple worth contending for—if Esau-like they are )- willing to abandon their platform and position for i- something less than even a mess of pottage, why d not rally with Democrats for the settlement of a d sectional controversy—for the assertion of a para v mount constitutional principle, vital to our repose if and security—rather than with factious odds and d ends, at war upon every point of political doc d trine, and united only under a tlag of truce for the ie mere purpose of elevating Mr. Fillmore to the Presidency ? Somebody has said, and a great many people put faith in the saying, that, “We ought always I to believe less than we are told.” This may be a safe maxim for general use, but when a woman j entrusts you, in confidence of course, with her age, you may always believe a great deal more than you are told. “Father,” said a cobbler’s lad, as he was peg ging away at an old shoe, “they say trout bite good now.” “Well, well,” replied the old gentle , inan, “you stick to vour work, and tliev won't bit' !./ >« m J . ■Xkv York, .May 30.—Flour declined, and stand ard southern brands were |worth from $0.50 to s>'>.- g7iy.

EXTRACT from a letter received from a gen tleman in Mobile: “Whilst requesting von to forward me another package of BLISS’ DYS PEPTIC REMEDY, (I enclose payment for both packages,) allow me to thank you most sincerely | for the cliiefest among the many kindnesses and attentions for which I am your debtor. I must confess to you, that notwithstanding your enderse | ment of it, 1 was loath to believe that your medi cine was any better than the numerous specitics and ‘certain cures’ which 1 had before tried upon the strength of newspaper representations, and which proved to be worse than useless, stimulating the stomach for awhile, but to leave it in a worse condition than they found it. The ‘ Remedv’ has ! in many cases worked like a charm, and the direc tions accompanying it, I consider,'are worth more to the invalid from Dyspepsia, than all the rules for health that were ever printed. It was with no ' little difficulty, owing to the inertia which for vears ! had paralyzed my energies, that 1 entered upon the treatment; but before the first week, what I : commenced with so much effort, I may say reluc ' tance, became as necessary enjoyment to me. In ’ short, notwithstanding my skepticism, lam now 1 prepared hilly to endorse all you have written me 1 i regarding Bliss’ Dyspeptic Remedy, and shall not [ fail to do that recompense which' I know to be most acceptable to you, of placing others in the 1 wav of being relieved, as I have been.” I'liis “ Remedv ” is for sale by CLARK, WELLS A SPEAR, iuy2B Augusta.

How sweetly sounds the evening bells, And memory with her magic spells, Is waken’d by the gentle flow Os music, murmuring soft and low. They seem to say, in pleading tone, Come worship at the Eternal Throne ; Oh ! can you.bid your God depart, Who tells you now to give your heart ? The bells have ceased but round me falls— In echoes faintly angel-calls; The past with all its dreams arise, Its hopes and joys, its tears and sighs. Methinks l hear the vesper bell, And, oh! I feel once more the spell That thrilled my soul with love and fear. When ‘Are Maria’ sounded clear. The laugh was hushed, the pious prayer Was wafted through the silent air ; Those sunny days of girlhood’s glee Were passed, alas ! unheedingly. My heart was then a trusting one, Its dial had not lost the sun That told its bright and happy hours; No serpent knew my Eden-flowers. Once more I hear a distant bell, That strikes with slow and measured knell; How mournful is the solemn tone That calls “ the soul back to its own.” Pass on, relentless world ; thy joy and woe, With all thy pride, alike must go; The hopes that seem so bright to-day, Before to-morrow will decay. 1 feel that I must go—l grieve No more a world of sin to leave; For, oh! beyond the shrouded tomb There is a spring that knows no gloom. Augusta. Leila. [communicated.] To Leila. Start not; nor deem my senses fled : Although I write once* more,^ Regardless of the words you said, When last you wrote before. For there is no alternate left, Except to break the chain, By which you closely bound me down; To curing aches and pain. I cannot chide you as unkind, Or even think you so; But why my sphere you thus confined, I should be pleased to know? And are you very sure 'tis kind, To let me “chatand dance!” That your poor heart may once more find. In hope another chance ! And do you feel that you could grace, A house with splendors fraught ? And is it with “tinsel and lace,” A soul can thus be bought. Oh, no ! 1 am not thus deceived, For through that cloak of frowns, 1 see a heart that has been grieved ; But not with careless wounds. Ai.ikl. Religion—Wliat I* It t BY BISHOI* IIEBBEIi. Is it to go to church to-day, To look devout and seem to pray, And ere to-morrow’s sun goes down, Be lea ling slander through the town v Does very sanctimonious face Denote the certain reign of grace? Does not a phiz that scowls at sin, Oft veil hypocrisy within? Is it to make our daily walk, And of our own good deeds to talk, Yet olten practice secret crime, And thus misspend our precious time? Is it for sect or creed to fight, To call our zeal the rule of right, When what we wish is at the best, To see our church excel the rest ? Is it to wear the Christian’s dress, And love to all mankind profess. And treat with scorn the humble poor, And bar against them every door? Oh, no! religion means not this. Its fruit more sweet and fairer i:— Its precepts this : to others do As you would have them do to you. It grieves to hear an ill report And scorns with human woes to sport— Os other’s deeds it speaks no ill, But tells of good or keeps it still. And does religion this impart, Then may its influence till our heart, Oh! haste that blissful joyful day, When all the earth may own its >way. The Printer’s Ten Commandments.—l. Thou shaft love the printer —for he is the standard of thy country. 2. Thou shall subscribe to his paper -for he laboreth much to obtain news, of which ve may not remain ignorant. 3. Thou shaft pay him for his paper for he lu boreth hard to give ye the news in due season. 4. Thou shall advertise that lie may lie able to give ye the paper. 5. Thou shall not visit him, regardless of his office rules deranging the papers. 6. Thou shall not touch anything that will give the printer trouble that he may not hold thee guilty. 7. Thou shall not read the manuscript in the hands of the compositor—for he will hold thee blameful. 7. Thou shaft not seek the news before it i.- printed for he will give it to you in due time. 9. Thou shaft ask but few questions of things in the office- from it thou shah tell nothing. in. Thou shaft send no abusive and threatening letters to the editor. IT IS an erroneous idea that disease cannot be . cured except by taking large quantities of med icines into the stomach, in a great many cases of which much injur;/ is done, although the disease in point be actual};/ ■ ure,/. The coats of the stomach, by continued use of nauseating mixtures, frequent ly become so much disordered that the die/estict /unction is serious!;/ injured -the result of which is dyspepsia, nervousness, cholics, alternate diar rhoea and costiveness, flatulence, nightmare, etc., etc. Would it not, therefore, be very desirable to possess a remedy, which being applied e.dernuUy would excite the absorbents to increased action, and thus carry oft’ through this medium, the dele terious principle which is the direct ca us. of the disease? Surely every thinking man will admit that this would not only be the most pleasant, but by far the safest means to effect the desired end. The almost superhuman cures performed by the Arabian physicians in the days of old, were mainly effected by this course of treatment, and the ingre dients of which If. G. FARRELL’S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT is composed, are extracted from rare plants peculiar to Arabia. This great Liniment (which is now to be had of most respec table druggists and merchants in every town in the United States) is daily effecting cures'which seem ed beyond the power of medicine to control—con sumption, bronchitis and liver complaints, in their first stages, nervous affections, indigestion, en largement of the spleen, scrofulous tumors, goitre, etc., etc., are frequently cured, and always relieved by its use. It is unsurpassed as an anodyne—re lieving severe pains in a few minutes after its ap plication, it soothes the irritated nerves, and pro duces that delightful tranquility so grateful to the nervous invalid. Sprains, bruises, wounds, burns, sore throat, chilblains, rheumatism, sun pain, etc., etc., are speedily cured by it, and for nearly all ail ments in horses or cattle, requiring an external application, it is an effectual remedy. Lookout for Vounhif Us ! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which lias lately made its appearance, called W. ]!. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the know edge that a counterfeit ex- I ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects.
