The committee further recommended that the
lies of the last Democratic National Convention i
• adopted for the government of this Convention.
On motion of Judge Borden, of Indiana, this re- j
a t was adopted unanimously.
The chair appointed Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylva
,ia. and Mr. \ nice, ot Florida, to conduct the
’resident to the chair.
On assuming the chair. Judge Ward addressed
Convention as follows ;
PRESIDENT WARD'S Si’KKCH.
Gentlemen of the convention, the summons to
reside over deliberations is as unexpected us it is
grateful to no-. The distinguished gentleman
iio yesterday presided, the connecting link be
uveen the past and the present, carried us back to
iiat period in our history when the Democratic
. artv assembled to give into the liands of its fa
vorite sou its standard to go forth to battle against
a aeble and gallant party. That party, with the
-sues which then divided us, have passed away.
Many of its leaders, one by one, have stolen away
i their silent resting place, tilled with years, and
with honors, mourned by political friends and po
luical foes—
"So sleep the brave who sink to rest
With all their country's honors blest.
When spring, with dewy lingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She there shall find a sweeter sod
Than fancy’s feet have ever trod ;
Their honor comes, a pilgrim gray,
T'o deck the mould that wraps their day ;
And freedom for a while repair
To dvvdl a weeping hermit there.”
Many of that noble party who still survive are ,
with us to-dav. They are with us in our delibera
tions, and they are prepared to go forth with us to
Jj battle in behalf of the Constitution and the
Union. Why—why, then, gentlemen of the Con
vention, with this party passed away, aud these '
issues settled—-why are we environed with difficul
ii,-s and surrounded with dangers before unknown?
Our land is convulsed with factious. The one, re
leant to the Constitution, would build a wall *
wound our country, aud give a home to the exile !
, ho seeks these shores only ou condition that he j
•nioiince all the privileges which are dear to free- ■
men—a party which, in the pride of power, as- '
•limes to dictate to the consciences of men, and
• Ilieh would extend to the right of suffrage only
those who bow before the same altar with theni-
Ivvs -a party which will allow no man to be fit
serve the country unless he offer his prayers to
'lie Throne of Grace in the same form they may
describe.
The other faction more dangerous only because
it is more numerous lifts liberty emblazoned upon
is banners and deadly treason festering in his
lieaia. It is engaged in an unholy crusade against ;
'he Constitution, which has so long maintained its 1
held on the affections of the people, in the fond
pe that they may involve in one common ruin
>li the glorious recollections of the past, and all ;
ur proud anticipations of the future, lusigniti- ■
am and contemptible in itself, it is formidable
ah for its tendency to unite with all other the
sis in their opposition to a party which makes '
concessions, courts no alliances, a-ks no affilia
tions.
From the shores of the Pacific, from the moun
tains of the North, from the plains of the South, i
from the valleys of the West, delegates have come
op to-dav to present a platform and to select a
standard-bearer in the great contest against these
tactions. Let us, then, go forth as a band of broth
ers, hand in baud, to the aliar of our common
oimtry, and lay upon that altar a willing sacrifice '
our personal aspirations, our sectional prejudices,
aud, above and beyond all, our private friendship. '
Let our thoughts be chastened by a higher and a
purer sentiment the love of our country. Let a
desire to advance our personal wishes be lost in the
greater duty ot protecting tlic Constitution of our
country from the assaults of its enemies.
With au abiding confidence that the kindness !
which has summoned me to this place will beat
with me in the performance of its duties, that that
Mildness will pardon 'lie errors 1 must commit,
aud forgive what tnav appear to them to be erro
neous, and may really he so, I enter on the dis
charge of that trust to which you have summoned
me.
The Vice-Presidents and Secretaries were then
invited to take seats on the stand.
Mr. J. A. Bayard, of Delaware, submitted the
following:
REPORT OF THE < OMMITTEK ON CREDENTIALS.
They proceeded yesterday, after the adjournment
if the'Convention, in the performance of the duties
aligned to them, and find that all the States of the
bnion, except the State of New York, are repre
sented in the Convention by delegates duly elected
m the several States, by State or district organiza
tions of the Democratic party.
There were contesting claimants of the seats
: ■ Id by the delegation from Missouri, who claim
ed to lie admitted, either in part or in whole as
•‘.••legates from the same State.
The following gentlemen, .chqnting to be the
regular delegation from the liuneoerucr of Mis
' uri, bad, on the /triina tarU evidence, been as
signed seats in the convention by the committee
of arrangements, viz;
Win. A. Harris, E. 1). Bevitt, James S. Green,
V W. Lamb, P. H. Mcßride, Wm. Shields, R. H.

Stephen Rice, S. J. lev we, Jacob llall,
Clarke, John M. Richardson, A. McCoy,
Stevenson, Thomas L. Price, John C. Walker,
Patrick H. Davis, Madison Mullen aud Samuel
simmons, and were represented before the com
mittee by Messrs Price aud Brown.
The committee deem it unneceeasai v to recapitu
late the arguments or statement of facts of either
-ide, and confine themselves to the conclusion to
which they arrived.
After bearing fully the representatives of each
ontestiug delegation, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted :
Jitjolced, That the Democratic delegates from
die State of Missouri, represented before the com
mittee by Mersrs. Greene and Phelps, are the du
ly elected delegates of the Democracy of Missou
ri, and ate entitled to their seats in the National
Convention to the exclusion of the contesting
Gaimants, represented by Messrs. Price and
Brown.
On motion of Mr. C V. McFarland, the reporl
j of the committee v\gs concurred in and adopted by
■ the Convention.
D. C. Buel, of California, moved that the Con
j veutiou appoint one sergeant-at-arms and two dep
j uties for the Convention.
Dr. Cottman, of Louisiana, suggested that the
: committee of arrangements appoint these officers.
! Some one else proposed that the President make
I these appointments: adopted.
Mr. McMullen, of Virginia, moved that the Con- 1
i vention, when it adjourns adjourn to-morrow at
' ten o’clock, a. in.
A letter of invitation to use their hall was read
from the 4 oung Men’s Democratic Association •
! also, a letter from the Horticultural Society of !
Ohm, inviting the members to attend their exhibi- I
non, on Elm street, on Thursday next
I , The chairman of the committee on resolutions :
i h, ‘ le i . l,ose anJ requested the members of that
j committee to retire to the room of the committee,
. .>*>. 16, Burnett House.
.Mr. ilcMullen’s resolution to adjourn till ten
° crock, being before the Convention,
Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, hoped that all the
preliminary business of the Convention would be
done to-day, so that to-morrow tbe balloting of the
! Convention for a nominee could be proceeded with.
He was in lavor ol taking a recess, aud then meet
ing again to hear the reports of the committees
and act upon them.
Mr. McMullen said that his resolution would not
retard the business of the convention. It was not
! to adjourn now, but to adjourn until ten o’clock
j to-morrow, when the convention did adjourn.
The resolution so qualified was adopted, and, on
motion of Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania, the con
vention took a recess until four o’clock, p. m.
At four o’clock the President called the conven
tion to order.
Mr. Pettit, of Indiana—l desire to inquire, for I
iiave been informally informed that such is the
case, whether the committee on resolutions is
ready to report. If they are ready, I desire to
move that they be permitted to report.
Mr. \\ ilson- -The chairman of the committee on
resolutions is absent from his seat, and, therefore,
cannot answer. lam informed, however, that the
, committee will not be prepared so report till to
morrow morning at ten o’clock.
Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, proposed a resolution
that the committee on resolutions be authorized to
have their report printed so that it could be laid
i before all the members, and made the order of the
j convention to-morrow.
Mr. Ilalleit, of Massachusetts, stated that there
would be one more meeting of the committee, that
the resolutions were nearly all agreed upon, and
that steps had already been taken to have the res
olutions printed, and'that they would be reported
to-morrow at ten o’clock.
On motion of Mr. Pettit, of Indiana, the conven
tion then adjourned till to-morrow, Wednesday,
Juno 4, at ten o’clock, a. m.
Congressional.
THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
M ashing ton, June ft. Senate.— Mr. Bright be
ing absent, Mr. Stuart was elected President ore
tern.
On motion of Mr. Adams, the bill to amend tbe
naturalization law, was made the order of the day
for Saturday next.
Mr. Trumbull introduced a bill to restore order
and peace in Kansas, proposing to bring it under
the territorial government of Nebraska.
Mr. Trumbull explained that the only object of
the bill was to extend tbe territorial government ol
Nebraska over Kansas, and abolish the present
government of the latter Territory, and the laws
made by their Legislature. He thought the propo
sition was worthy of some consideration, as there
was a state of things now existing in Kansas which
all good men must deplore. He did not care about
having tbe bill referred, as that would withdraw
it from the consideration of the Senate.
Mr. Douglas hoped it would be referred to the
committee on territories, who would report on it at
an early day. It involved some grave questions ;
but be was glad to see that the opponents of the
Nebraska bill were beginning to acknowledge the
principle of that bill. The laws of Nebraska were
made bv the people of Nebraska, and the laws of
Kansas by the people of Kansas; but the proposi
tion now was to abolish the laws made by the peo
ple of Kansas for their own government, and to
place them under the laws of Nebraska, which
they have had no voice in making.
Mr. Trumbull said that so far from acknowledg
ing the principle of the Nebtaska bill, he did not
believe there was any principle at all iu it. It
was understood in one way at the North, and tu
another at the South. But he would admit that \
this bill was not such a proposition as be should
prefer. He regarded the repeal of the Missouri ,
Compromise as the cause of all the mischief; and
lie would be glad to restore things to their former
position. But tins was a temporary expedient,
not intended to carry out lhs own wishes fully. \
He meant to occupy a conservative ground upon |
this question, and «as willing to yield something, ]
for he was sorrv to see strife m Kansas, and was ,
anxious that some measure should be immediate
ly adopted to restore peace to that unhappy Ter- |
ritory.
Mr. Douglas said he was as anxious as his col- ,
leaaue to have peace and quietnesss restored in j
Kansas. He was willing to yield something al- (
so ; but he would yield what some of the people (
of Kansas refused to yield, and that was, im
plicit obedience to the laws of the land. If every- ’
body would do this there would be no difficulty iu ,
Kansas, or any where else. But if, instead of
compelling the rioters and rebels to submit to the (
law, they were to be placed under the laws of an- (
other territory, the effect would be to extend strife |
aud turmoil to Nebraska also. He was unwilling -
to inflict upon Nebraska the curses of the strife (
and mob violence that existed in Kan.-as.
The people of Nebraska have obeyed the law,
and they have peace; tn Kansas the law had been
trampled under foot, and there was strife. Aboli
tionists amt the Emigrant Aid Societies bad not
interfered in Nebraska to per vent the terms aud '
meaning of a law of Congress; and the very fact
that both Territories were created iiuder one law, j
that tn one ttiere was peace and quietness while in !
the other there was strife aud controversy, shows ! 1
that the fault i not in the law. The fault was in j (
foreign interference. Strife and violence were the j (
fruits of that interference in Kansas; but there j
had been non-inti-rfereuce in Nebraska and peace j
and harmony bad been the natural consequence. j *
If bis colleague thought the Nebraska bill was i j
understood differently in the North and the South,
he had better read the proceedings of the Demo
cratic National Convention. He would find that
the principles of the Democratic party were pro
claimed North, South, East and West everywhere j
alike proclaimed by the unanimous vote of every ;
State in tbe Union. Massachusetts and South j
Carolina understood the Nebraska bill alike; Illi- ;
uois and Louisiana, Ohio and Virginia, understood j
it alike. All true Democrats bad no trouble in ;
construing it ; and nobody had any trouble except
those w ho were opposed to it, and who were deter
mined not to be satisfied with it. The principles
of that IJill were embodied in the compromise of
lSoO; and they were confirmed in the election of ■
President Pierce in 1852.
Mr. Trumbull replied that the thing was covered I
up bv tbe Cincinnati Convention, very much as it j
was iu the Nebraska bill. The language was am- j
biguous, and each section understood it to suit its j
own views.
Mr. Douglas further replied, and the bill was re- j
ferred to the committee on Territories.
Mr. Foote addressed the Senate on the subject \
of the Navy Board, confining his argument to the j
point that the President had no power to dismiss '
any commissioned officer of the army or navy, ex
cept in his executive capacity, to carry into effect
tbe laws of Congress ami tbe sentences of courts
martial.
1 he Senate then adjourned.
Hm se. —By the reading of the journal of Satur
day it appeared that Mr. Edwards had given notice
ot his intention to introduce a bill for the remov
ing the seat of government from Washington to
some p<lint in Ohio, within five miles of Cincinnati.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved to strike out
the notice, contending that it could not there ap- i
pear, as there was no quorum present on that day. >
Ninety-two members only voted, and for want 'of j
a quorum the House adjourned.
Later from Kansas.
Sr. Loris, June 10. —Later advices from Kansas
state that Bernard, in Kansas, was burnt ou the
3d inst.. by the Abolitionists. It is reported that
tbe Abolitionists have captured Franklin after
hours of lighting. Three pro-slavery men were
killed. Another report discredits the capture,
though confirming the assault. Marshal Donel
sou and four men were killed near llickorv Point
while arresting the assaulters of Pattie’s party.
The Abolitionists are destroying tlic houses and
driving away the families near Bull Creek. One
hundred and fifty men have gone in pursuit of the
marauders. Gov. Shannon had issued a procla
mation ou the4th instant, commanding all illegal
military organizations to disperse or to be dis
persed bv troops, and calls for vigilance in enforc
ing the laws and the protection of property uml
persons. He has made a requisition ou Col. Sum
tier for troops.
Dates at Chicago to the 10th inst., state that Col.
Sumner passed through Lecompton ou the 4th for
Topeka. A new attack on Lawrence is reported
as contemplated. Six hundred men are expected
' to take part. Plans are said to bo formed for a
night attack. The Free State men are determined
’ to resist. It is rumored that Sheriff' Jones was
killed m the tight at Franklin.
s New York, June 10.— Coiton is firm, and the
sales have comprised 1,500 bales. Flour has de
-1 clined, and Ohio is worth £0.20 per barrel. Wheat
is unsettled. Corn is firm. Rice is dull. Freights
i- j are drooping.
• VS ASiiiNGTON, June ft.— I The return of Congress

i ; in both Houses to-morrow.
O' Ihe President has signed the Wisconsin, Michi
gan, Alabama and Louisiana railroad bills, applo
t printing lands for railroads
t
i T, ‘ e Origin ot the Fugitive Slave Law.
The Boston Courier gives the following bit of
history, from which it appears that the practice of
I restoring fugitives from service had its origin
among the old Puritans:
It may interest the readers of these papers, as a
piece ot curious antiquarian history, to know- the
; origin of the practice of restoring fugitives from
service. In the articles of confederation between
the United Colonies of New England—namely,
Massachusetts, New Plymouth, Connecticut New
Haven, Ac., made in 1043 ; and made, as Hie pre
• ftnible declares, by those who “all come into these
| Pfwts ot America with one and the same end in
! atm, namely, to advance the kingdom of our Lord
j Jesus Christ, and to enjoy the liberties of the gos
pel in purity with peace,”—there is the following
provision; “It is also agreed that if any servant
run away from his master into any confederate ju- j
risdiction, in such case, upon certificate from one j
magistrate in the jurisdiction out, of which the j
servant lied, or upon other due proof, the said set - '
vant shall be delivered to his master, or any other j
that pursues and brings such certificate or proof.” j
It thus appears, says the Courier, that the ren- j
dition of fugitives front service in this country i
commenced more than two hundred years ago, and,
what is remarkable, the mode of proof pre
scribed by the agreement of the Colonies, is pre
cisely unalagous to one of the modes provided by
the act of 1850; the only difference between them
is the more elevated character of the tribunal “ in
the jurisdiction out o{ which the servant fled,” be
fore which the proof is now made, and the greater
caution in the proceedings. It is presumed that
the subjects of this compact between the Colonies
were rather white servants and apprentices than
negro slaves, who, in 1*543, were probably very few
in number. It was very common in those early
times, more than at present, for master mechanics
to take indentured apprentices, who, if they ab
sconded, were uni'/ how are) liable to be arrested
and returned to. their masters, as persons held to
labor or service in the State whence they fled.
The same rule prevails now in regard to white ;
fugitives which was adopted bv the early Puritans, !
anil is applied by the fugitive slave law to fugitive
slaves. Vet the Abolitionists would see the Union I
dissolved rather than apply the same rule to runn- j
way blacks to which runaway white men are sub- ;
jected!
American National Council.
It was stated under our telegraph head yester
terdav that this body, which met in New York on
Tuesday, adjourned on Wednesday, after adopting
resolutions doing away with all secret Council i
business. The following are the preamble and I
resolutions on the subject:
R hi rnii, in tlie platform of principles adopted I
by the National Council in February lasi, uuthori- I
ty was given to each State Council to amend its
Constitution so as to abolish the several degrees I
and institute a pledge of honor instead of other J
obligations for fellowship and admission into the ’
party: A in/, wherote, it is desirable that the pro- ;
posed pledge shall be uniform throughout the j
State, embodying, as nearly as possible, the prin
ciple upon which our organization is founded.
AV.W red, That a Pledge of Honor is recommend
ed to the several State Councils for adoption bv \
them as embodying all the principles, aims anu
objects of the American party.
The “ Pledge of Honor” proposed, is simply a j
pledge to the principles of the American party
to support for office no man who acknowledges
any allegiance to any foreign power, or who "re
fuses to acknowledge the Federal and State Con
stitution as paramount to all other laws. To these
declarations the candidate is to pledge his “life,
his fortune and his sacred honor. ’
Hesolred, further, That all provisions of the
Constitution, rules and regulations, special notes,
ritual or other enactments by the National Coun
cil, which conflict with the principles enunciated
in the “Pledge of Honor” now instituted, be, and
the same are hereby rescinded and abolished, pro
vided, however, that it is not the intention or
meaning of this resolution to change, modify, or
in any wise alter the “Platform of the American
party” adopted in February last. These resolu
tions to take effect and be in force in each State
when adopted by the State Council thereof.
The following were also adopted, after consider
able discussion on the part of the Hon. John M.
Bolts, Hon. H. Marshall and others.,
Uesolred, That our earnest thanks are tendered ,
to the American National Convention for the notn- j
iiiation of Millard Fillmore and Andrew Jackson j
Donelson, for the Presidency and Vice Presidency j
of these United States, and that we are confident !
of their ratification by the people of the nation.
/*'**>That the extreme partisan measures
of the administration Democracy on the one side,
and of the Black Republicans on the other, driv
ing the country with frenzied zeal into the most
dangerous sectional strife, not only requires
prompt and signal rebuke, but abundantly proves
that neither faction can be safely trusted to ad
minister the affairs of the Republic; and as the
conservators of power and constitutional right
and of a free press and a free speech, without li
centiousness in either, the members of tlic Amer
ican party in the Senate and House of Represen
tatives be, and they are hereby requested to vote
for the present expulsion of anybowie knile Dem
ocrat or Sharp’s rifle Black Republican who shall
outrage by his acts the rules which should ever
govern the supreme legislature of this country.
There was much discussion in the ease of a con
tested seat of a delegate from the Fifth district of
New York. The delegate who was elected by the
organized convention, was excluded because he
declined to slate explicitly that he would support
he nomination of the Philadelphia Convention.
This proceeding caused the withdrawal from the :
Council of delegates from Illinois and Rhode Is
land.
Lot it l>o Remembered,
That on the 13th day of September, lsr*l, An
drew .1. Donelson said of Millard Fillmore, that lie
was “ repudiated by two thirds of his own party
as an ilerfiM hour upMtut< from Ins k.vovvn’ Altai.i
tionism of IS:s to the old Democratie doctrine of
non-intervention as embodied in the compromise.”
That in his speech in New Turk, ratify ing his
own nomination, he said: “ I deem it a h’njh honor !
to In thought worthy of un e>. >ro,! ,, '}, Mil/orJ I
Fillmore, in the effort to carry forward the prinei- : 1
pics of the American party.”
It thus follows, that Maj. Donelson deems it “a •
high honor to be thought worthy of an association” ;
with “an eleventh hour apostate from bis iuoiru j
. I l»oltlii)ni.iiii ol so is.’
Are the people willing io vote for a man who ;
would consider -otch an association " honorable?”
_ Xa.iheille Fnioo.
Hartford, June 7. -The Senate of this Slate
have revoked their action in electing Hon. James i
Dixon, United States Senator, in consequence ot |
the House not appointing ex-Governor Dutton Su
preme Judge, as had been anticipated by the Sen
ate. The limiter is to ho further debated on Tues
day next, to which date the Senate stands ad
journed.
A meeting was held here last evening, to express
indignation at the recent assault in the Senate
Chamber. Among the speakers was Mr. Dixon,
the newly elected Senator, who denounced that
portion of the Southern press and public which
endorsed the conduct of Mr. Brooks in committing
the assault.
J St. Lot is, June 7. The latest intelligence front
i Kansas received here fails to confirm the account
i telegraphed on Friday. Instead of a battle be
• tween fifty pro-slavery men and one hundred and
fifty free State men, there was only a small tight
between the two parties, resulting in tlie death of
two or three persons. Capts. McGee and Bane are
not dead. Cupt. Battle’s company was captured
by a superior force of free Stale men.
Boston’, June 7. The steamboat excursion to j
the approaching Philadelphia Convention lias been

DISEASE OF THE STOMACH—-ITS
CONSEQUENCE!
IkISEASE of the Stomach cannot long exist
S ™ without involving, sooner or later, other or- j
gans of the body. A knowledge of this fact is of
the utmost importance to the physician, as well
also to the patient. llow this extension of disease
from the stomach to other organs fakes place—the
principle upon which it proceeds -the symptoms
exhibited in the course of its extension, are of the
first importance in the guidance towards philosoph
ical treatment. Ignorance, as regards these points,
has been and is daily being the source of the most
dangerous treatment, and the very treatment which
is the cause of myriads of uncured cases, worn out j
and debilitated constitutions, and of those long !
train of morbid symptoms which attend too many
patients through life, known and called “ general
disease”- a term, however, without any meaning, j
from the fact that there is no such state of system
as “ general disease,” as will endeavored to he
shown in mv advertisement of next week.
Chronic disease of the stomach produces disease
m other organs through the agency of the nervous
system; the disturbance or irritation created by
diseased points iu the stomach, is carried along the
nerves to some near organ with which it has a
nerve communication, and the disease there set up
is said to be a sympathetic disease, or the organ is
said to be secondarily affected. As an instance of
this sympathy, a person receiving a blow upon the
head, the blow is followed almost immediately by
vomiting—the stomach sympathises with the dis
turbed or irritated brain. Again, any indigestible
limiter taken upon the stomach produces headache
—in this case, the brain sympathises with the sto- !
much.
This extension of disease, which takes place
along or through these nerves is either orctsioiHtl
or htriintuml, mid the frequent repetition of the
former produces the latter for instance. Dyspep
sia, or a small point, of Inflammatory action of the
stomach, produces headache, dizziness, sleepless
ness, fullness of the blood vessels of the brain,
Hushed face, Ac. These morbid symptoms will i
continue for a longer or shorter period, die away,
and disappear, and after a little time recur again
lienee the term oeca sninnl. The intervals between
these recurrences become loss and less distinct, un
til at last the Inain becomes permanently involved,
and insanity, apoplectic or paralytic congestion,
imbecility and death is the result -hence the name
p> nmi neut.
And here 1 would take occasion to advert to the !
verv great importance of attending in time to these
primary initiatory symptoms of diseased stomach,
which are set up as a warning, speaking plainly
and forcibly to the patient that unless a correct
and proper treatment beat once instituted, no mat
ter of how mild a form they may at first appear,
there is imminent danger of the bruin or some oth
er vital organ becoming permanently involved.
These early s\ inptoms are too frequently overlook
ed or regarded as some irilling disease that will
vei v soon pass oil", and thus the patient lives on,
taking no thought of the increasing frequency or
vehemence of these *‘trilling complaints." arising j
from disease of the stomach, until at last, other and ■
important organs, the brain, perhaps, or the lungs, ]
or the heart, or liver, or some other organ have be- I
come almost immediately involved. Then it i.-, that i
the patient, upon reflection, finds that his disease !
has long been creeping upon him, gaining, almost i
imperceptablv in intensity, until some new phase i
of the disease suddenly awakens him to notions of
his true situation, llis friends, perhaps, discover
that his “mind is not exactly right,” that his
“brain is diseased,” and oil the poor patient is
hurried to a mad-house, there to he treated with
the Straight jacket, blisters to the shaven scalp,
Ac., and no thought perhaps taken by the medical
attendant, or treatment instituted for th ojirst great
cniLo and the nmtiimam 1 ' of all this trouble viz •
DISEASE OF THE STOMACH.
Perhaps, instead of terminating in insanity, a i
very different phenomenon is exhibited ; the sure- I
inig’of the blood towards the brain produces at las!
a palsy of a limb front partial pressure of the brain,
or a palsy of the entire locomotion from the pres- i
sure of blood on the back portion of the brain, and
the poor patient is obliged, perhaps, to submit to
the blood-disgorging operation of the lancet, a
shaved and blistered scalp, burnt and blistered
back-bone," stimulating and burning embrocations
with very little or no good, and probably with no
thought on the part of the attending physician of
the first great cause and the continuance of the dis
ease, viz: Disease of the Stomach.
Perhaps, instead of either of the above termina
tions, a very much less serious result is the conse
quence—perhaps merely a pain in the shoulder or
head, and Tic Dolonrcu <of the face ; and for this
Tic Dolourous, the poor patient miist down with
the calomel, iron, arsenic, Ac., to be tormented
with burning blisters, setons, and the like—the at
-1 lending physician regarding it, perhaps, as a sim- j
j ply local affection, entirely losing sight of the fact i
; that (lie lining membrane of the stomach and liver i
I is one continuous membrane, of the first great 1
j cause and continuance of these pair.s, viz: Disease
; of the Stomach, propagating disease in the liver, i
and the liver in its turn extending its irritation’
and producing pain in the shoulder, head and face! :
How frequently has “pain in the right shoulder ” !
j been looked upon, named and treated as a case of j
I “liver disease,” “inaction of the liver,” (vague
; and unmeaning terms, and in a great majority of
: cases without # my benefit accruing from the treat
ment ; and with how much more success might
these so-called “liver diseases ” have been treated
had the true pathology of the case—the true cause
! of the disease, in fact, the disease, been properly un
derstood—if they had been regarded us the conse
quence of disease of the stomach, producing nior
■ bid action in the liver, and the latter in its turn
! sending its irritation to the shoulder, face and head, j
• Perhaps, instead of either of the above tormina- !
tious taking place, a much more common one ex
hibits itself, viz; a disease of the lungs. There is
• no so common an occurrence as disease of the
lungs being produced by disease of the stomach, in
fact, disease of the stomach cannot lung exi.-t with- I
j out producing disease of the lungs, and there never
! was ft case of diseased lungs but that was produced !
|by disease of the digestive organs. The disease
j called Pulmonary Consumption has its origin iu
1 disease of the stomach, an J from no other source.
; From the very close nerve connection between the
stomach and the lungs, the latter is a constant re
! cipient of all irritation from the stomach, which
tends to the formation of tubercles, the commence
ment of Pulmonary Consumption—first, by not
j only inducing a diseased state of the air tubes, but
! also by setting up a sympathetic irritation in the
spongy tissue of the lung ; and secondly, by pro
j ducing a morbid state of the blood in consequence
; of imperfect digestion of food by the inflamed sto
: much. This idea, Lam well aware, as regards the
j cause of Consumption, is at variance with the great
! mass of the wise heads of the profession, but it
! does not make it any the less true. There are as
wise heads as any in the profession who have pro
| mulgated the doctrine for years, and years ago was
1 satisfied, from my own’ observation, that Con-
I sumption had its origin in disease of the stomach,
: and too not in a few isolated cases, but in every
i instance, and I defy any physician to point to a
! case of Pulmonary Consumption that, upon close
i inquiry and minute examination, it could not be
found, and beyond a doubt, that the patient had
I been previously laboring under diseased digestive
I organs. There is no disease so much dreaded, or
j looked upon with so much horror, as Consumption.
All sorts of “specifics” have been invented for its
cure; every conceivable combination of drugs al
most have been compounded, and the poor sufferer
sent to almost every corner of the habitable globe
for relief, but all to but very little purpose. Phy
sicians take charge of such cases with great hesita
tion and doubt, and the patient now looks only for
temporary and insignificant relief. And why is
this? Why all this misery and suffering—all this
j medical labor in vain? Simply from misconcep
tion as regards the true cause of disease, viz: Dis
ease of the Digestive Organs.
Consumption is as capable of being cured as al
most any other disease, when not too far advanced
—when the lungs are not too much consumed. It
is impossible to create new lungs, or to make them
grow out again and occupy the place of the lung
that has been destroyed and annihilated by ulcera
tion, supperation and expectoration; hiit when
sufficient of the lung remains for the purposes of
their office, not only further destruction may be
remedied, but an entirely healthy action of the re
maining portion of the lung may he brought about.
Facts of cases of Pulmonary Consumption having
been cured, and the subject afterwards living to
good old age, bus been too often shown by post
mortem examination, to admit now-a-days of a
single doubt. But rest assured this end is’not at
tained by “doctaring” the lungs and liaviim no
regard to other diseased organs. No, no, for by
prescribing for the lungs, most valuable time is
being lost, and without Benelitting the patient one
particle, for the effect is being “doctored” instead
of the cause; but to strike at the root of the evil,
and to strike effectively, go at once to the stomach,
and there will you find the cause and the onbj cause
of till this trouble, and only by removing this cun
the patient have any hope of recovery. To talk
about curing Consumption by applying remedies
to the lungs and taking no thought or instituting
no treatment for other diseased parts of the system
is all nonsense, and the height of empiricism. No
patient was ever cured nor ever will be by such
prescriptions. Look well to the stomach—search
there for diseased action (and you will always find
aplenty of it) and a treatment may he instituted
with no little hope of success-a treatment may be !
instituted that will, in a great majority of cases, j
cure the patient, providing, of course, the lungs are !
not too much consumed.
To conclude this already too long advertisement, !
1 will remark, that there are thousands of Clergy
men throughout the United States troubled with
that very common disease, known as “Clergy
man’s gore throat,” and probably not one in one
hundred knows the true cause of their disease;
perhaps from the fact of it never having been prop
crlv explained to them by their physician, and pos
sibly also from their physician taking a wrong view
as regards ils true cause. Out of hundreds of cases j
that have fallen under my observation, there has j
been no single instance that it was not very readily i
traceable to disease of the digestive organs. From
the fact of the mucus membrane of the air-tubes
being a constant recipient of irritation having its
origin in diseased digestive organs, these air-tubes
take on an extreme sensitiveness, which produces
a large amount of morbid secretion, and renders
the patient exceedingly susceptible to changes in
the temperature, causing him to he continually sub
ject to “ fresh colds ” and “coughs,” the frequent
repetition of which induces that chronic inflanima- i
tion of the air-tubes known as “Bronchitis” and j
“Clergymen’s Sore Throat.”
In conclusion—to all invalids let me say, that if !
1 have made mention above of the disease with j
which you are afflicted, rest assured, it is folly for ;
you to hope for either a permanent or speedy cure
unless attention is had to the digestive organs, for j
there yon willAud not only the Jirxl great raw, oi j
your ailment, but the cause also of the continuance \
of your malady ; and 1 would respectfully call your
attention to the merits of my Remedy, known as I
“Bliss’ Dyspeptic Remedy" a medicine that li
have made use of exclusively in the treatment of j
the above mentioned diseases for years in my pri- I
vatu practice, and always with the happiest results, i
If taken closely, according to directions, it will not
tail to cure any case of Dyspepsia or disease of the i
Stomach, and all other diseases having their origin
in that diseased organ.
1 shall, in future advertisements, make nieution !
of other diseases that have their origin in disease
of the stomach, and which can only be cured by a j
well directed treatment to that organ alone.

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.

)01 prove no u t*.
- , S 11IIS article wil| compare far ora
■ blv with any of like character
in the known world.
I find that by putting it in the form BjjlSi
of a Soap it gives it a decided advan IlHIi
tage over anv Balm, Salve, Liimuent,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
j eases herein enumerated ; it. also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient fni- use.
lis action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article, there
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers,
Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm, Piles’
Erysipelas, Scald Head, Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt
j Rheum, Chilblain, Prickly Heat, Scurvy,’ Sore
Eyes, Bone Felons, Old Sores, Sore Nipples, Ac.,
extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby
preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentiifice to the teeth. Forshav in°- soap
it forms a rich lather, softening the bearS, and
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the oute nt all the enumerated diseases, and
j particular old sons, this soap has proved a halm
| indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
; necessary, hut believing that a single cake is onlv
j requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like hum bug e ery, I
leave it to those who will give il a fair trial, not
doubting they will then declare this to he the/ .<?
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
