\ Hiiml-ttroiind Supper in Alabama.
Among the most perplexing of the small calam
. to which civilized humanity is heir, none, for
tune being, are better calculated to disturb
• »il humor, and upset equanimity, and radically
■ the conceit out of a man,-than to tind himself
1 in a situation, in a drawing-room or at an
,-'iing party, where prompt decision is indispen
, and neither guide or precedent is at hand to
ate the course to be pursued. There pettv I
.wince are sometimes magnified bv circum- j
- es into positive distresses. Tliese are things ,
.ie comforting iu life, there are situations more j
ibe envied, than that of a man groping in the |
■ i i.topiiitt t’of fashionable society, compelled j
. act without previous acquaintance with its j
. * and painfully conscious that the slightest j
gnorauce or madvertancc will he duly heralded as !
t.i 1 ‘best joke of the season.’
And little sympathy or disposition to relieve
-•in embarrassment is felt or manifested by the i
_ ueralitv of man or woman kind towards a suf- i
ring victim. There is only one instance on the [
record of courtesy and true politeness where a !
r entleuiau, at his dining-table, drank of!' unhosta- I
ugly tin' iiuger-bowl of tepid water, in wider to i
■•op in couutenauce an unfortunate guest, whose ]
iliriousness of that “institution'’ had led him to .
despatch at a gulp a similar bowl to appease his j
iirst. This exception, confirming the general '
adds this general truth as another argument i
a stippoi tof the theory of innate cruelty. And j
■•nee, many an unhappy soul is allowed to llouti- I
t about in ail the mazes of gaucheiie, enduring j
_ ‘iiy the most pitiable, until he is slowly and j
•oderly drawn ashore by some fiendish Chester- |
• i I, who, in his mission of mercy, takes good i
ire tii at every body present shall have a fair view of !
Jlffte points of the “animal;” or, until the poor i
.•lit. disencumbered of all remaining sense, with a !
desperation of resolution adequate to the most for- j
ni hope, cuts the Gordian knot, and relieves
•as -If from his dilemma by incontinently taking
his hec-ls -mmoting. The latter was the inglo
.sexpedient adopted by Hill Brisson at the mein
i.irable “tea (light" that came off at Gen. Jones’
a the first of May, Aniu) Domini 184 . But we
List permit Bill to relate his “hair-breadth’scape”
i his own language, us he narrated it lasi winter

■Speaking of ■iw/it!Jir.*, gentlemen, I was in
but as long as my head’s hot. I’ll never be
aught again never. You are all acquainted
ith Miss Angelina Jones General June’s second

■on a beauty, and no mistake—
■ The most peerless piece of earth, I think.
That e'er the sun shone bright on."
1 was jisi sixteen years old -Angy, as l endear

i i spell tins paragon had over me was wondrous;
i accidental look transfixed me, and set a watery
ipor floating before my eyes ; a word set a hmi-
I jewsharps a playing in my ears; her touch
me absolutely a buck ague. Jn short, I was
ii'is-over-head many fathoms deep in love—en
'uuiering, in imagination, multitudinous perils

“About fifteen years ago, I was invited, by the j
(steal imported method, to take tea at Geu. Jones’, j
That was an epoch in my life; it was the first pub- i
lie acknowledgement of aiv sixteen-vear-old man- ;
hood, ami I resolved to go. Now one word about i
my raising, and the position of the Jones family j
iu society. My parents, yott know, belong to the
plain, substantial, respectable, but unfa'fit!tiling
• lass, and regulated their household economy ac
• rdniglv ; and when we slept we slept in beds,
rid when we ate our meals we sat down to a ta
ble on which the eatables were placed, with a ser
■ mt behind us to administer to our wants; blit
•die Joases, being descended from the first fami
s of South Carolina, which is a kick above the j
i K \ ,’s. connected tilings on an upperten, high j
i-i-sstir.'. patent-back-action principle, a fa trail- . ,
- and fiddle sticks latest improvements, and all j ,
iat. I went to the tea-fight - God forgive me!
riving at the door, 1 was salaamed in by the
im-st dressed nigger I ever saw, and entering the :
il; .uving-room, around whieh the guests were ar- |
l unged, every other one a gentleman, and every ,
• roue a lady, I dropped, in a state of collapse j
undembarrassment, into a seat nearest the door, j
I was not suffered to remain long in repose; a nig
, :'. holding in his hands a huge waiter, covered j
with empty plates, entered the door and inarched .
siiii up to me, tint- man. The brilliant idea
flashed on my mind that this manoeuvre was only j
a prelude to setting the table, and the pantomime j
p kingthe machine with empty plr.tes on it towards
me was quickly interpreted bv me to signify that i
fie desired little assistance, or, in other words, j
that lie expected tne to hold the concern, whilst lie ;
brought in the table, spread the cloth, Ac. On :
tins hint I acted. Springing up hurriedly, for :
fear of exposing my ignorance of mutton, 1 seized !
the institution’ which he holdout tome with both !
bauds, anil strove to disengage it from the ser- '
rant. Now came a scene-the servant backed, I .
/ ". !'• ti .<£</, shook the waiter until the plates there- I
on jingled again, to satisfy him that I had good
grip on it. and that he might safelv give it up ;
whispering, byway of quieting his apprehensions, ,
*‘ fc g“t it--set go. But the black rascal hung on
manfully. Ip to this point mv eyes had been di
.acted to the waiter, now 1 looked up in the ser
vant’s iace ; it was in a broad grin, ivory all ox
posed, as he said, “Let go, massa.’
A hasty glance around the room assured me :
that I had played ‘the divil,’ and committed some
■rrible breach of etiquette. I let go the waiter
a- if it had been red hot, and, at that instant,
would have been delighted to let go all bold on
existence and all mundane appurtenances, and
would have been willing, in the bargain, to have
signed a deed of relinquishment to everything 1
expected the old man, my father, would bequeath
me, for the happy privilege of ‘shuffling off' this
mortal coil’ on the spot. 1 fell back into my seat,
feeling worse than any criminal. But my trials
had not yet ended —the internal servaut again ap
proached me; again I was at a loss to divine what
he wanted me to do ; a moment ago, it was clear
that he did not desire my assistance ill supporting
the waiter of plates ; now, it occurred to me, as no
one else came forward to relieve him, lie had
changed his mind, and had concluded to accept
’aid and comfort’ from me, whom he had honored
by such flattering preference, on first entering the
room, as to single out as his first-assistant-waiter
holder iu ordinary.
“Just as I was reaching out my hand to clutch
the waiter again, I overheard angel Angelina say
■■> that dandy, B )b Sutton, whom I intend to whip
if 1 ever catch hint out of Mobile, ‘Pray, d-,ir, Mr.
Sutton, don't move or sav a word, but wait and
only see what if will do next.’ At the moment
these words conveyed no meaning to my mind, as
the servant was just then making a communica
tion to me of ah interesting character. In obe
dience to bis instructions, l nervous!v took an
empty plate from the waiter. The other guests
likewise helped themselves to eniptv plates.
Briskly on the heels of the first servant came
another, whose waiter was covered with eniptv
cups and saucers. H,-, also, made a break at me
first. 1 began to feel that 1 knew all about mut
ters. With commendable t'rnJ 1 provided
myself with an empty cup and saucer ; the other
guests ditto. 1 saw another waiter with eatables
and another with drinkables approaching, and
having both hands entitelv occupied, one in hold
ing my plate, and the other my cup and saucer, 1
began to discern breakers in the distance. As I
had but two hands, and thev both engaged, it was
demonstrated that if 1 got anything to eat or
dr.uk, sombody would have to help me, and ouce
helped, if I got anything in my mouth besides the
tea, s a rbjdtf would have to put it there. The
uipsof darkness came to me as usual, first.
Have some tea, Mr. Bnsson? His hands were
hath required to sustain the waiter ; mine, to sup
port my plate, cup aud saucer. I really wantet
i>oiu« n>», b u t t,j get it was manifestly out of tin
uiwetion, so I answered,
| “ No, I thank you, wouldn’t choose any.”
“Do take some tea t ” urged Mrs. General Jones
i from the other side of the room ; “you’ll find it
; very nice, Mr. Brisson.”
“No, I thank you, mam,” says I, seeing no pos
sible way to get myself helped’ if [ said yes; “ I
: am not fond of tea;’’ which was as big a lie as ever
was told, but what was a feilow to do ?
The tea passed along, and next came a waiter •
groaning under a bountiful supply of cold turkey j
cold ham, chipped venison, cakes, Ac. Although I
I was very hungry, I inwardly prat ed to be skip
ped—that this cup might pass. But no, the waiter j
stops before me. 1 felt a nervous jerking and
twitching all over, as 1 replied to an invitation to '
myself:
“ No, I thank you—wouldn't choose anv.”
“ Why, Mr. Brisson,” said the ladv of the house ’
i not suspecting the cause of my refusal, “are voii !
; unwell V j
“ No, mam,” 1 faintly stammered out, “ I never I
j was in better health.” *
| * insist, then, on your taking some of
; "’ild turkey ; it is very delicate. 99
“ Don’t doubt it, mam,’ 5 savs I, “ but I wouldn’t !
: choose any.”
i All this time the waiter remained in front of me, ;
, the other guests looking, wondering, and Availing.
■ My presence of mind, like Bob Acres’ courage, j
J was last oozing out at my fingers’ ends ; a film was !
forming over my eyes.
“General," said Mrs. General Jones, “ I declare i
I 1 believe there is something ihe matter with Mr. j
| Brisson.
These Averc tho last words I heard at that tea
j party. My brain avhs on fire, my head reeled, and
springing like a Avild panther forward, I upset the :

Congressional.
THIRTT-FOrRTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
Washington, June 11.—Senate.— Mr. Bright
1 having returned, Mr. Stuart resigned the offiice of
] I’resident pro tern., and Mr. Bright Avas again
elected.
. Ttie Chair laid before the Senate the resolutions
) of the Common wealth of Massachusetts in refer-
I ence to the assault on Mr. Sumner. They Avere
! read.
Mr. Butler said they contained a foregoue
i conclusion, because they pronounced judgment
; before the subject has been investigated, and he
, called it an insulting mockery for a legislature to
ask the Senate to investigate a matter after they
! had pronounced judgment upon it.
lie would say no more now, but would more
the resolutions be laid on the table and printed
I —agreed to.
Mr. Crittenden moved to take up the resolution
' offered by him yesterday requesting the President,
: in view of the in Kansas, and
j the employment of a military force for the restora
! lion of law and peace and harmony there, to send
I Gen. Scott to take command of those forces.
Mr. \ ulee expressed the hope that the motion
i Avould not prevail, the Senate being so ihinlv at
tended.
Mr. Clayton anticipated much benefit from the
resolution. The sending of General Scott to Kan
sas must have the effect off calming the public
mind.
Mr. Brown opposed the motion, believing that
it would be an interference by the Senate Avith the
Executive function- to advise the President as the
resolution proposed; besides, lie could not sec such
a state of things in Kansas us to call for the extra
ordinary proceeding contemplated.
Mr. Bell, of Tennessee, asked Mr. Brown wheth
er he did not credit the reports from both sides
daily received regarding the affairs of Kansas.
No Senator could doubt that affairs iti that quarter
demanded immediate attention.
Mr. Brown said that to a very limited extent lie
credited the telegraphic reports in relation to the
disturbances in Kansas ; but he believed that the
greater portion of them were manufactured for
the occasion. It had been so heretofore, and was
very likely to be so now. He Avas uot prepared to
cast censure upon the course of the President ; but
the adoption of the resolution lA'ould be understood
bv the country us an expression of the opinion of
the Senate that ihe President has not performed
his duty as he ought to ha\'o done.
Mr. Toucey knew of no poiver in this bodA’ to
aet in the manner proposed, more than would be
possessed by an equal number of citizens assem
bled in any portion of the country. If Gen. Scott
should be sent, what would he do there ? We live
under a government of luav ; and if luav is resisted
the administrative officers have the poAver to call
oui a posse comitatus to aid in the enforcement of
the luav. Was it supposed that Gen. Scott avias to !
act in subordination of the sheriff as one of the -
posse comitatus ? If that was the object he did j
not approve of it, because it Avas calling upon the j
highest officer in the army to go there and perform
a very subordinate duty iu aiding the sheriff to I
make arrests and bring criminals before the courts |
of justice. But unless that was the object, if could ‘
only be that appeal was to he taken from the courts j
of justice to the military power.
If a case of that kind should arise under the |
Constitution and laws of Congress there amis ample i
provision ; but the military power could only be j
employed in case of actual insurrecti in or rebel- .
lion, when there Avas a combined resistance to law. !
But how many insurgents were now in arms
against the government? He did not belipve it
would come to that. Let there be obedience to
law and all difficulty would cease, lie objected to
the resolution because it avhs out of the ordinary
course for the Senate to tender advice to the Pre
sident upon a matter exclusively aa itiiin his juris
diction.
Mr. Adams remarked that the President hud
power to recommend to Congress the enactment of
such laws as lie might think desirable, but he
could find no |lower by which Congress could re
commend to the President how he should perform
his duties.
Mr. Mallory was opposed to taking up the reso- |
Union, anti should vote against it in any form. Il !
implied an indictment on the course of the l’resi- j
dent, and an indictmenton the course of the officers i
in command of the military forces there now. He
thought that if Congress should cease debating on 1
the subject of Kansas affairs, all excitement Avould j
soon be allayed, and there would be no difficulty ;
in restoring quiet in Kansas.
Mr. Crittenden Avas not a little surprised at the j
I opposition Avhicli had been so unexpectedly raani
i tested to the resolution. He had hoped for a dif
ferent result. It aa'iis proposed in the utmost sim
plicity of purpose as a means by which the anar
i chv and bloodshed, now prevailing in Kansas,
: might probably be suppressed and ended. The ‘
proposition could do barm and might do good. It
is vita- easy for gentlemen to say that if all would j
I obev the laws, there ivoitld be no trouble ; but the j
i point was that in consequence of the frailty of hit- j
1 man nature there ivas always someivho ivould not .
. vield a willing obedience to the laivs. The rente- |
dy ivas not adequate to the disease. Ts all ivould i
obev the law s there would be no need of courts, j
| judges, sheriffs or jails. But it ivas well knoivn ;
that there were those who did not admit that these j
laws ivere of such a character as to demand their |
obedience. It was contended that they ivere fraud- j
ulentlv made, and therefore invalid. Hence the i
propriety of approaching the subject in a. calm j
an 1 temperate manner, so that these difficulties
might be settled in the best manner.
Sir. Mallory did not ivish to interfere in any
manner w ith the duties which especially belonged
to the Executive. Unless the Senate believed that
the President had not done bis duty, they ought
not to meddle with the matter.
Mr. Mason believed that everything liad been
done w hich the occasion called for, and w hich pro
. priety would allow, to bring the unfortunate state
1 of things in Kansas to afi end.
Mt. Seward believed that peace ivould not be |
secured in Kansas until the people should enjoy ,
the full and ample rights of citizenship enjoyed by i
the people of the organized States. ' * !
Mr. Reid argued to show- that no good could re
( suit by sending Gen. Scott to Kansas.
’ The Senate, ivitnout concluding the subject ad
-1 . journed.
f Horse.—The Speaker laid before the House a
1 message from the President, in reply to a resolu
tion for any information regarding*the action of
' the leadimr powers of Europe relative to priva
teering and 'the proceedings of the late Paris
1 Conference therein, saying that no information of
* that character had been officially communicated to
’ this government.
The House, after in vain endeavoring to procure
1 a working majority, adjourned at an early hour.
Death of Col. Hugh N. Crawford.—lt is with
feelings of deep regret that we learn the death of
Col. Hugh X. Crawford, of Montgomery, on the
27th nit., at Goldsborougli, X. C.
He lind been in feeble health for some time, and
lefi here, in company with a brother, for the Vir- |
giuia Springs. His extreme feebleness caused him ;
to remain at Goldsborough, where he died. Col.
C. was about fiftv-seven years of age; was a nu- 1
live of Virginia, but had'resided for many years
in Georgia, and for the last twenty years in’ this ]
State. —Alabama Journal, 11//< in*t.

Philadelphia, Feb. 26th, 1856.
j To the Hon. Millard Fillmore:
Sir: The National Convention of the American
1 party, tvhich has just closed its session in this
! city, has unanimously chosen you as the candidate
for the Presidency of tiie Lnited States in the
, election to be held in November next. It has as
, sociated with you Andreiv Jackson Donelson,
i Esq., nf Tennessee, as the candidate for the Vice
1 Presidency.
| The Convention has charged the undersigned
with the agreeable duty of communicating these
| proceedings to yon, and* of asking your acceptance
of a nomination which ivill receive not only the
i cordial support of the great national party in
. whose name it is made, but the approbation also
\ of large numbers of other enlightened friends of
• the Constitution and the Union, ivlto ivill rejoice
i in the opportunity to testify their grateful appre- i
i ciation of vour faithful service in the past, and i
j their confidence in your experience and integrity
j for the guidance of the future.
The undersigned take advantage of this occasion j
1 to tender to you the expression of their own grati- :
tication in the proceedings of the Convention, and ,
to assure you of the high consideration ivith which
| they are yours, Ac.

Andreav Steavart,

Committee, Ac., Ac.
Paris, May 21st, 185 C.
Gentlemen : I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter informing me that the
National Convention of the American party which
had just closed its session at Philadelphia, had
unanimously presented my name for the Presiden
cy of the United States, and associated with it
that of Andreiv Jackson Donelson for the V ice
Presidency. This unexpected communication met
me at Venice on my return from Italy, and the
duplicate mailed thirteen days later, ivas receii'ed
on my urrii al in this city last evening. This must
account for myUppurent neglect in giving a more
prompt reply.
You ivill pardon me for saving that when my
administration closed in 1853, I considered mv po
litical life as a public man at an end, and thence
forth I w as only anxious to discharge my duty as a
private citizen. Hence I have taken no active part
in politics. But 1 have by no means been an in
different spectator of passing events, nor 1
hesitated to express mv opinion on all political
subjects when asked, nor to give my vote and pri
vate influence for those men and measures I
thought best calculated to promote the prosperity
and glory of our common country. Beyond this
I deemed it improper for me to interfere. But this
unsolicited and unexpected nomination has im
posed upon me a neiv duty, from ivliich I cunnot
shrink; and therefore, approving, as l do, of the
general objects of the party w hich has honored me
with its confidence, 1 cheerfully accept its nomina
tion without waiting to enquire of its prospects
of success or defeat. It is sufficient for me to know
that by so doing I yield to the wishes of a large
portion of my fellow-citizens in every part of the
Union ivho, like myself, are sincerely anxious to
see the administration of our government restored
to that original simplicity and purity which mark
ed the first years of its existence ; and if possible,
to quiet that alarming sectional agitation, whieh,
ivhile it delights the Monarchists of Europe, causes
every true friend of our own country to mourn.
Having the experience of past service in the ad
ministration of the Government, 1 may be permit
ted to refer to that as the exponent of the future,
and to say, should the choice of the Convention be
sanctioned by the people, 1 shall w ith the same
scrupulous regard for the rights of every section of
the l nion w hich then influenced mv conduct, en
deavor to perform every duty confided by the Con
stitution and laws to the Executive.
As the proceedings of this Convention have
marked a neiv era in the history of the country, bv
bringing a new political organization into the ap
proaching Presidential canvass, 1 take the occa
sion to reaffirm my full confidence in the patriotic
purposes of that organization, which 1 regard as
springing out of a public necessity, forced upon the
country, to a large extent, hi u it.irtunate sectional
divisions, and the dangerous tendency of those
divisions towards disuni -n 1 done, in mv opin
ion, of all the political agencies now existing, is
possessed of the power to silence this violent and
disastrous agitation, and to restore harmony by its
own example of moderation and forbearance. It
has a claim, therefore, in my judgment, upon
every eat nest friend of the integrity of the Union.
So estimating this party, both in its present po
sition and future destiny, 1 freely adopt its great
leading principles as announced in the recent de
claration of the National Council at Philadelphia,
a copy of w hich you ivere so kind as to enclose
me, holding them to be just and liberal to every
true interest of the country, and iviscly adapted to
the establishment and support of an enlightened,
safe and effective American policy, in full accord
w ith the ideas and the hopes of the fathers of our j
Republic.
I expect shortly to sail lor America, and, with
the blessings of Divine Providence, hope soon to
tread mv native soil. Mv opportunity of compar
ing mv own country and the condition of its peo
ple with those of Europe, has only sci veil to in
crease my admiration and love for our own blessed
land of liberty, and 1 shall return to it w ithout
even a desire ever to cross the Atlantic again. ;
I beg of you, gentlemen, to accept my thanks j
for the very flattering manner in which you have
been pleased to communicate the results of the
action of that enlightened and patriotic body of
men who composed the late Convention, and to
be assured that
1 am, with profound respect and esteem.
Your friend and fellow citizen,
Millard Fillmore.

only eleven hundred were legal.
New York, June 13. —Cotton is dull and only
800 bales were sold to-day, the effect of the Erics

DISEASE OF THE STOMACH—ITS
CONSEQUENCE!
■fcISEASE of the Stomach cannot long exist
S S' without involving, sooner or later, other or
gans of the body. A knowledge of this fact is of
the' utmost importance to the physician, as well
also to the patient. Ilow this extension of disease
from the stomach to other organs takes 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
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,
from the fact that there is no such state of system
as “general disease,” as will endeavored to he
shown in mvadvertisement of next week.
Chronic disease of the stomach produces disease
in other organs through the agency of the nervous
system ; the disturbance or irritation created by
diseased points in the stomach, is carried along tin
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 bv |
vomiting the stomach sympathises with the"dis- !
turbed or irritated brain. Again, any indigestible
matter taken upon the stomach produces headache j
—in this ease, the brain sympathises with the sto- I
loach.
This extension of disease, which takes place j
along or through these nerves is either oceasional |
or rmaiant, and the frequent repetition of the j
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,
flushed face, &e. These morbid symptoms will
continue for a longer or shorter period, die awnv,
and disappear, and after a little time recur again—
hence the term oeeoskmai. The intervals between
these recurrences become less and less distinct, un
til at last the brain becomes permanently involved,
and insanity, apoplectic or paralytic congestion,
imbecility and death is the result -hence filename j
p> rmaw nt.
And here I would take occasion to advert to the i
verv great importance of attending in time to these j
primary initiatory symptoms of diseased stomach, i
which are set up as u warning, speaking plainly j
and forcibly to the patient that unless a correct
and proper’treatment boat once instituted, no mat- ;
ter of liow mild a form they may sit first appear, j
there is imminent danger of the brain or some oth- ;
cr vital organ becoming permanently involved. |
These early symptoms are too frequently overlook
ed or regarded as some trilling disease that will :
very soon pass otl, and thus the patient lives on, j
taking no thought of the increasing frequency or I
vehemence of these “ trilling complaints ” arising i
from disease of the stomach, until at last, other and !
important organs, the brain, perhaps, or the lungs, i
or the heart, or liver, or some other organ have be- j
come almost immediately involved. Then it Is that 1
the patient, upon reflection, finds that his disease
has long been creeping upon him, gaining, almost !
imperceptably in intensity, until some new phase i
of the disease suddenly awakens him to notions of ;
his true situation. His friends, perhaps, discover I
that his “mind is not exactly right,” that his !
“brain is diseased,” and oft" the poor patient is 1
hurried to a mad-house, there to be treated with j
the straight jacket, blisters to the shaven scalp, |
Ac., and no thought perhaps taken by the medical
attendant, or treatment instituted for Xhofirst great j
! cause and the continuance of all this trouble, viz ;
| DISEASE OF TIIE STOMACH.
Perhaps, instead of terminating in insanity, a I
very di flu rent phenomenon is exhibited ; the sttrg- j
ing ot'the blood towards the brain produces at last I
a palsy of a limb from partial pressure of the brain,
or a palsy of the entire locomotion from the pres
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 seal]), burnt and blistered
hack-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 tirst great cause and the continuance of the dis
ease, viz: Disease of the Stomach.
Perhaps, instead ot either of the above tennina
j tious, a very much less serious result is the conse
| quence—perhaps merely a pain in the shoulder or
| head, and Tic 1 toloureii < of the face ; and for this
J Tic Doloureux, the poor patient must down with
j the calomel, iron, arsenic, Ac., to be tormented
i with burning blisters, setons, and the like—the at-
I tending physician regarding it, perhaps, as a sim-
I plv local affection, entirely losing sight of the fact
that the lining membrane of the stomach and liver
! is one continuous membrane, of the first great
j cause and continuance of these pains, viz: Disease
| of the Stomach, propagating disease in the liver,
and the liver in its turn extending its irritation,
and producing pain in the shoulder, head and face.
I flow frequently has “ pain in the right shoulder”
! been looked upon, named and treated as a case of
“liver disease, “inaction of the liver,” (vague
and unmeaning terms,) and in a great majoritv of
cases without any benefit accruing from the treat
ment ; and with how much more success might
; these so-called “liver diseases " have been treated
. i had the true pathology of the ease—the true cause
> i of the disease, in tact, the disease, been properly un
! derstood—if they had been regarded as the conse
quence of disease of the stomach, producing mor
bid action in the liver, and the latter in its turn
sending its irritation to the shoulder, face and head.
Perhaps, instead of either of the above termina
tions 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 ihe stomach cannot long exist with
out producing disease of the lungs, and there never
was a case of diseased lungs but that was produced
by disease of the digestive organs. The disease
called Pulmonary Consumption has its origin in
disease of the stomach, and from no other source.
From the verv 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
only inducing a diseased state of the air tubes, hut
also bv setting up a sympathetic irritation in the
spongy tissue of the lung ; and secondly, by pro
ducing a morbid state of the blood in consequence
of imperfect digestion of food by the inflamed sto
mach. This idea, lam well aware, as regards the
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 mv own observation, that Con
sumption had its origin in disease of the stomach,
and too not in a few isolated cases, but in every
instance, and I defy any physician to point to a
case of Pulmonary Consumption that, upon close
inquiry and minute examination, it could not bo
found, and beyond a doubt, that the patient had ,
been previously laboring under diseased digestive
organs. There is no disease so much dreaded, or
looked upon with so much horror, as Consumption.
All sorts of “specifics” have been invented for its
cure; every conceivable combination of drum 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 i
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- j
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 j
that has been destroyed and annihilated by ulcera
tion, suppuration and expectoration ; but 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 be brought about.
Facts of cases of Pulmonary Consumption having
been cured, and the subject afterwards living to j
good old age, has been too often shown by post ;
mortem examination, to admit now-a-days of a j
single doubt. But rest assured this end is’not at- i
tained by “docteriug” the lungs and bavin*? no j
regard to other diseased organs. No, no, for by :
prescribing for the lungs, most valuable time is j
being lost, and without benefitting the patient one ;
particle, for the effect is being “doctored” instead j
of the cause; but to strike at the root of the evil, i
and to strike effectively, go at once to the stomach, !
and there will you find the cause and the oat;/ cause
of all this trouble, and only by removing this can
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 empyricism. No
patient was ever cured nor ever will he bv such
prescriptions. Look well to the stomach—search
there for diseased action l and you will always find
aplenty of it.) and a treatment, map he instituted
with no little hope of success a treatment may he
instituted that will, in a great majority of cases, I
cure the patient, providing, of course, the lungs are
not too much consumed.
To conclude this already too long advertisement,
I will remark, that there are thousands of Clergy- ,
men throughout the United States troubled with !
that very common disease, known as “ Clergy
man’s sore throat,” and probably not ono in one '
hundred knows the true cause of their disease; i
perhaps from the fact of it never having been prop '
et lv explained to them by their physician, and pos- |
sibl v also from their physician taking a wrong view
as icgards its true cause. Out of hundreds of eases !
that have fallen under my observation, there has '
been no single instance that it was not very readily
traceable to disease of the digestive organs. Front
the fact of the mucus membrane of the air-tubes i
being a constant recipient of irritation having its j
origin in diseased digestive organs, these air-tubes j
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- j
jectfo “ fresh colds ” and “coughs,” the frequent
repetition of which induces that chronic intlamma- ’
tion of the air-tubes known as “Bronchitis” and
“Clergymen’s Sore Throat.”
In conclusion —to all invalids let me say, that if
1 have made mention above of the disease with
which you are afflicted, rest assured, it is folly for
you to hope for either a permanent or speedy cure i
unless attention is had to the digestive organs, for :
there you will find not only the fust great cans, of
your ailment, but the cause also of the continuance
of your malady ; and 1 would respectfully call your i
attention to the merits of my Remedy, known as
“Bliss’ Dyspeptic Remedy”—a medicine that I
have made use of exclusively in the treatment of
the above mentioned diseases for years in my pri
vate practice, and always with the happiest results.
If taken closely, according to directions, it will not
fail to cure any case of Dyspepsia or disease of the
Stomach, and all other diseases having their origin j
in that diseased organ.
I shall, in future advertisements, make mention
of other diseases that have their origin in disease
"of the stomach, and which can only be cured bv a j
well directed treatment to that organ alone.

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
The Empire State of the South still ahead in her
Improvements.
TUI 18 article compare favora-
bly with any of like character
in the known world.
I find that by putting it in the form jfSflMi
of a Soap it gives it a decided advan- Sspll
tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment,
or Ointment that can be made for the cure of dis
eases herein enumerated ; it also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it contain 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
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 F’istula and Scratches in horses; extract
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentrifice to the teeth. For'shaving soap,
it forms a rich lather, softening Hie beard, and’
curing such sores as may be on the face.
In the cure of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old sores, this soap has proved a balm
indeed, by its wonderful healing powers.
I can procure certificates innumerable were it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy as above stated, anil
wishing to avoid everything like humbuggerv, 1
leave it to those who will give it a fair trial, not
doubting they will then declare this to be the/i?
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.

NO HUMBUG—TRY IT.
I)r. Tobias has warranted his Liniment for eight
years, without ever having a demand made for the
return of the money—all that is asked, is to use it
according to the directions.
No one will ever be without it, after once using
it. If you do not find it better than anything vou
have ever tried before, GET YOUR MONEY RE

Thousands of certificates have been received
speaking of its rare virtues. Now-a-days. it is the
iiracticc to till the papers with certificates from un
known persons, or given by those who have never
used the medicine —now, Dr. Tobias oilers to puv
1,000 DOLLARS to anv one who will prove that
he ever published a false certificate during the
time lie has had liis medicine before the public.
Call on the Agents and get a Pamphlet contain
ing genuine certificates. As persons envious of the
large sale of the VENETIAN LINIMENT have
stated it is injurious to take it internally, Dr. To
bias has taken the following
OATH:
I, Samuel I. Tobias, of the City of New York,
being duly sworn, do depose that I compound a
LINIMENT called VENETIAN, and that the in
gredients ot which it is composed are perfectly
harmless to take internally, even in double the
i quantity named in the directions accompanying
i each bottle. g. 1. TOBIAS.
