that I accept iu the same spirit, the resolutions con

1 he agitation on the question of domestic slavery
1 •i • long distracted and divided the people of
..- Union and alienated their affections from each
■b. i ihi agitation has assumed manv forms
-.nr-, a- commencement, hut it now seems to be
.!lrt,;ej chiefly to the Territories; and judging 1
. i; pie.sent character, 1 think we may safeh

m The recent legislation of Congress respect
cig domestic slavery, derived, as it has been from •
if original aud pure fountain of legitimate pnliii
d power, the w ill of the majority, promises ere
i.-ug to allax the. dangerous excitement. This
f'gidation i- founded upon principles, as ancient
. free government itself, and in accordance with
them, lias simply declared that the people of a
Territoi.x, like those of a State, shall decide for
•eii. elves, whether slavery dial! or shall not exist
within their limits.
i’tie Nebraska-Kansu- Act does no more than
ix? the force of law to this elementary principle
.if self government ; declaring it to be “ the true
oitent and meaning of this act not to legislate
»Lwiy into anv Territory or State, nor to exclude
therefrom , hut to leave the people thereof per
i-ctlv free to form and regulate their domestic in
itutions in their own way. subject only to the
t'(institution of the United States." This princi
ple will surely not he controverted by any individ- ’
ml of any part v professing devotion to popular
Government. Resides, how vain and illusory
would nnv other principle prove in practice in re
trd to the Territories '. This is apparent from the
ia. ' admitted by all, that after a Territory shall
. ire entered the Union and become a State, no
Donsiitituiiona! power would then exist which
could pre\ ent it from either abolishing or estah
■hing slavery, as the c-nse may he, according to
its sovereign will and pleasure.
Most happy w mid it tie for the country if this
long agitationjwere at an end. During its whole
progress it has produced no practical good to any
human being, w hilst ii has been the source of great
aud dangerous evils. Ii lias alienated and estranged
one portion of the Union from the other, and has
< ven .seriously threatened its very existence. To
mv own personal knowledge, it has produced the
impression among foreign nations that our great
and glorious confederacy is in constant danger of
dissolution. This does us serious injury, because
acknowledged power and stability always com
mand respect among nations, and are among the
best securities against unjust aggression and in
l.ivor of the maintenance of honorable peace.
Mav we not hope that it is the mission of the
Democratic party, now the only surviving cou
servative party of the country, etc long to over
throw all sectional parties and restore the peace,
h iendslnp and mutual coufideuce which prevailed
i the good old time, among the different members

Another Accession to the Democratic
Column.
. Tlie “ Sentinel ' is the title of a new paper re-
I centl v started at Paris, Henry county, Tenn., edited
hy H. F. Ccmmins, an Did Line Whig, but who en
lists for the war under the banner of Bcchaxax
and Brkckexridck. We take the following extract
from his salutatory address, and commend it to the
calm and careful perusal of all Old Line Whigs,
i and all others iu the South whose first desire is the
defeat of Black Republicans:
“ In this connection it is due that we state briefly
our principles and the position we intend to occu
py in the triangular contest going on between the
National Democracy on the one hand and the
Know Nothing and Black Republican parties on.
the other. W e have been a Clay Whig for twenty I
I years and in our feeble manner, contended for
j the cherished principles of that party, heart and
soul, in every contest during that period of time,
i -j ow ” iat the Whig party is disorganized—has
been broken up by the ri.se of the new Order oi'
Know Nothings—and new issues are presented, we
j hate no alternative left ns hut to act with that par
ty we deem most conservative and national —that
approximates nearest to the doctrines of Old Lino
! Whigs.
“ Ihu old issues are not involved in this can
vass; the Whigs oppose Know Nothingisui and
Black Republicanism—the Democrats do the same,
and as the \\ hig party is disorganized and com
paratiyely weak—whilst the Democratic party is
1 organized and strong, there is no inconsistency,
: hut a perfect consistency, iu the Old Line Whigs
voting with the National Democracy to defeat these
two sectionalisms that are disturbing the peace and
i harmony of the L'nion.
“ The Whig party contended for principles, not
men. A Whig nomination is unnecessary, when
j the object to he attained can be accomplished with
; more certainty and less danger, aud of an election
| before the people by supporting the candidates of j
the Democratic partv .
“ The new Order that claims to have arisen upon !
: the ruins of the two corrupt old parties, are surely j
too pure to receive or ask the aid of those who still ,
cling to their first love. The Know Nothings do j
not endorse in tliei platform Whig principles;
they say the principles and the party are both
dead, and that is Hi • only thing tin’// Ido endorse. |
The old Whigs are iu favor of “ civil and religiou..
: liberty” the inalienable right of every American I
j citizen to seek his own happiness in his own way, j
' provided only that he shall not invade the equal j
rights ot his neighbors -no denomination or !
church shall he patronized—none proscribed bv
’• the State—a strict observance of the Constitution ‘
and laws, honesty and capacity, not place of birth, j
; accessary qualification for office -opposition to j
Black Republicanism and all other isms—to such
we sav, stand together in this trying struggle, and i
let the atehword he the Constitution a- it was, !
the Constitution as it is.”

11l the Leavenworth Kttruite ID,-aid, of 31st !
May, we find the following brief report of theevi- 1
deuce given in before the Congress Investigating |
Committee, at that place, upon some paitieulai j
po mts:
Matthew R. Walker testified on oath in substance, |
that lie has lived in Kansas about fourteen vears
came from Ohio. Sometime in the month of June, (
1855,Mr. Je»kins,who kept the hotel in Kansas City,
now called the .American House, called on me to j
know if I could furnish a friend of his with ahorse j
for a few days. 1 promised to endeavor to do so, j
and told him he had better give me a letter of in |
trodueiion with the gentleman when lie came for t
the horse.
A few da\ s afterwards a gentleman presented
himself with a letter from Mr. Jenkins, who was
styled Dr. Clias. Robinson, of Boston, Massachu- :
setts, agent for the Emigrant Anl Suciuty of Bos
ton, Ac. He got the horse and .carted to Leaven
worth, remained two days and returned. On hi
return we had considerable conversation. He wish
ed to know what would be the chance of getting
the property at VYvandott where 1 lived, for the
Society, and what kind of a title we could give for
it He said their object was to get a site on the
river which would form a •■■enclve for their future
operations- that the company would expend a
large sum of money on it, if they could succeed in
getting it —that they had control of rive millions
of dollars, Ac. He stated that the prime object of
the Company was to make Kansas a free State
first- -Missouri then being surrounded hy three free
States would necessarily be compelled to free her
slaves—this being accomplished, it would be east
to secure the amalgamation of the negroes and In
dians, and then amalgamation with the whites
would naturally follow. Mr. Robinson remained
talking some time, and left far Kansas, Ac. He
said there would he a large number of Northern
sent out previous to the election a large
number did come.
Mr. Reed testified lie fell in with a company from
the northeastern States who told him thev had
come to Kansas to vote, had their passage paid ba
the Aid Societies, and the leader told him he was
going to hunt for the weakest free State county,
and go there with his men to vote for the free State
ticket.
Judge Reynolds, of Fort Riley, testified that
some two hundred men come there just prior to
the election, 50th March, many of them said their i
passage tiad been paid hy Reeder’s wife, to come !
to the Territory to vote ; others had their passage I
paid hy different persons at the North ; some of i
them would not vote, from liecoming dissatisfied ; i
they were all called Reeder's men ; these Bennsvl- |
ranians brought with them Reeder’s Proclamation '
for eli-i tion, and defining boundaries of districts ; |
most iy the settlers did not know till then what |
district they had a right to vole in ; the free State
ticket was elected in that district, but believed i
there v-’tis a pro-sluverv majority of the settlers.
Mr. iVilson testified that Reeder sold at least ;
one of his shares in Pawnee at a large discount, i
to one of the members of the Legislature of inflii- ,
encc, and said it should be the policy to get the j
members interested in Pawnee, so as to keep the 1
seat of government from being removed from Paw- i
nee.
Two letters, written by Reeder to G. P. Lowry, |
were found at Lawrence, and the handwriting of |
Reeder identified, were offered and read in evi- j
deuce. They disclose the astounding fact of Reed- I
- er’s admission of the legality of the Territorial |
laws ; that they cannot hope to get the Supreme j
Court to decide the laws illegal ; that thev must j
rely upon getting free State men upon juries, to j
thwart the efforts of pro-slaverv men in earn ing i
i out the laws. This, he says, we can rav to our j
friends, but to the public I put forward a hold 1
front in opposition to the laws. Tn other words. !
he lies wilfully and knowingly to the public, to |
earn his point, and thereby involves his friends j
in tr uihle. Reeder’s admissions in these two let
ters covers the whole ground, and places the free
! State party in opposition to the laws, for political
cffei.n, knowing they arc acting against the legally
constituted authorities of the country. What, then, j
must be thought of Reeder v There will he an j
amount of testimony showing up the frauds and i
designs of the Massachusetts and other Aid Socie- -
ties to Abolittonize this Territory, bv importing :
i votes, that will open the eyes of’ every bodv. It !
i will have the effect of placing these facts before
j the people of the North that might otherwise nev
! er have been seen and known.
What his Neighbors Say ol llim.
It is uo matter of trifling consideration and im j
portance that those who know a man best should j
eulogize him most. More especially is praise to
be valued when it is extorted from a political op
ponent. 1 iie Lancaster i l’a. i Kept <.<■>■, a Know No
thing Republican paper, published in the immedi
ate neighborhood of Mr. Buchanan's residence, is
compelled to bear testimony to his- unbending in
tegrity and blameless life. After a few introducto
ry remarks, the editor proceeds and savs:
"We know the man as one of our most respect- ■
ed fellow citizens—a gentleman of unblemished I
personal integrity and unusually agreeable man
ners in bis social intercourse with all classes. We I
know him as a friend of the poor -as u perpetual I
benefactor of the poor widows of this cite, who,
when the piercing blasts of each successive'winter I
brought shrieks of cold, and hunger, and want in 1
the frail tenements of Poverty, could apply to the I
"Buchanan Relief Donation’’ for their annual sup- |
ply of wood, and sitting down with their orphaned
children iu the cheerful warmth of a blazing tiro, j
lift their hearts in silent gratitude to God, and
teach their little ones to bless the name of James !
Buchanan. As u citizen, a neighbor, a friend—in
a word, as simply James Buchauan, we yielded to
uo man in the measure of our respect and esteem,
and were he still before us as simply James Bu
chanan—as he was a few years ago, and when he and
we occupied the same broad Jeffersonian republi
can platform—when at least one ot ike editors of
this paper voted with him year after year, the
same Democratic ticket —then ours would be the
mote pleasing duty ot supporting instead of op
posiug the election of our esteem* d fellow citizen
and neighbor to the highest office in the gift of
the American people, and the highest position of
political distinction in the world

Ihe Philadelphia Fusion Convention—
Fremont Nominated—Clear the Track !
The results of the Philadelphia Fusion Conven
tion of the anti-administration elements of the
North, are thus flu- before our readers. John
Charles Fremont is nominated as their candidate
for the Presidency, with a remarkable degree of
enthusiastic satisfaction. That success being glorv
enough for one day, the Convention deferred the
nomination till this morning of their candidate for
Vice President.
The platform of tins Convention is a most re
markable piece of mechanism, and ein-o-vu with
. d* r ‘ Cincinnati platform we have the elements thus
hud down of a regularly organized sectional con
test on lillibusters, niggers, Kansas and squatter
.sovereignty. '1 he Philadelphia coalition plat
i form may he thus summed up, with the names of
the different architects, as far as our information
extends:
First—The tripod of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, the Constitution, and the Union.—New
York Herald.
Second—The denial of any power in Congress,
or anywhere else, to give legal assistance to slave
ry in the Territory.—Judge McLean.
Third—-The assertion of the power in Congress
to prohibit in any Territories “those twin relics of
barbarism, polygamy and slavery.”—Judge Mc-
Lean.
K nirtli.—A tremendous constitutional onslaught
upon our Pierce administration and the “border
ruffians,’ with a full schedule of their savage atro
cities in Kansas. -Governor Reeder.
Fifth—A declaration in favor of tlie immediate
admission of Kausas as a free Slate—W. H.Sew
•*>'£ r i
Sixth—Theindignant repudiation of “the high
wayman's plea” of the Ostcnd manifesto.—-Fran
; cis p. Blair.
Seventh—ln favor of a Pacific Railroad and an
emigrant wagon road.—Live Oak George Law.
Eighth—ln favor of river and harbor appropria
i tions. —George Law.
Ninth Knocks tlie Know Nothings in the head
\ —Senator Wilson and Thadeus Stevees.
! For proof of these original authorities seethe
X. V. Herald of a week or so ago, Judge McLean’s I
lett on slavery, George Law’s late speech, W. H
Sew ard’s late speech in the Senate on Kansas, and
i Senator Wilson’s original declaration that he was
resolved to smash it[> this Know Nothing partv
1 into teu thousand fragments on the rock of tlie
j slavery question, &c.
The cool aud unceremonious style in which the
poor Know Nothings are turned adrift is eertainh
a hold move, and we are not exactly certain how it
will turn outjbut we suppose that Senator Wilson,
who knows all the mysteries of the dark lantern, I
and Thadeus Stevens, who knows a Httle of every
thing, knew what they were about in this resolu
tion. A still more remarkable plank in this Fre
mont parly platform is the emphatic declaration
that Congress bus the constitutional pow er to ex
pel polygamy as well as slavery from the Territo
ries. This simply means that if this partv is
placed in power they will makeshort work of lirig
ham Young, Mr. Fillmore’s Governor and Mr. |
, Pierce’s Governor of Utah, with his ninety-six j
wives (.fall nations, and with the whole breed of
his patriarchs and saints, with their twenty, ten or j
half dozen wives apiece. This is u good lilt, and
we presume it will bring Mrs. Lucy shone Black
well and the women’s rights women of the North
in a solid body to the ticket of Fremont, freedom
and woman’s rights, even among the Mormons.
The northern opposition forces, with Fremont,
and a formidable northern platform, are thus fau
lt' in for it. But they are not yet nut of the woods, !
by a long shot. Any quantity of old logs and him j
her, stumps, underwood and rubbish still obstruct I
their way out. What is to be done with Mr. Fill
more, for whose reception, on his return from
Rome and the Pope, our city fathers are preparing
a hit of pageantry second only to the reception
of Kossuth or Captain Tyler? What becomes of
the Kuow Nothing bolters of the New Jersey
school, who believe that the great dangers that
threaten our liberties are Popery, Archbishop
Hughes, and the Irish Catholics'’ Does Commo
dore Stockton surrender? these are serious ob- :
stacics that lie directly across the trad:, and must
be removed before the train can run through.
Then, again, the old Whigs seem to be stirring in
tlieii graves here and there, and they threaten a
resurrection in their shrouds without the aid oi
Judge Edmonds How are they- to be kept down
In fact, the haid work of the opposition forces just
now begin- in this first difficult and heavy job of
clearing the track
“Live Oak George Law, like a locomotive at
tempting to jump a chasm -it a railroad bridge,
has gone down and gone i. id r. leaving nothing
but the top of his smoke ■ ticking above the
water. Mr. Fillmore and the intractable anti-
Poperv “American-.," however, unless thev are
whipped in, or coaxed hack iu some wav, wifi pro
hably carry off twenty-live thousand opposi
tion votes in the .State of New York aloue to the
ticket of Fillmore and Donelson, when the whole i
of the opposition forces of the North, to he effect
ive, must be concentrated upon Fremont
Putting all these things together, and taking a
bird’s eve view of the field, arc vie not right in
predicting the most curious, exciting, ferocious,
and momentous Presidential struggle in the history
of the Republic ? Let all sides, then, go to work
ill earnest, and clear the track !

LATEST.
The London Monmo: Paris correspondent
writes that the French government had used every t
effort to remove the unhappy complications which
have led to a suspension of diplomatic relations
between England and America, and the Emperor
will continue to exercise his good offices in the
rame spirit of reconciliation. Should, however,
the two nations actually engage in war, no doubt
England may reckon oil the active alliance of I
, France.
In the House of Commons Sir BuKver Lvtton
j put a question to the Ministers with regard to the j
; relations of the government with the United States
j touching the Central American question. He re
: (erred to his previous withdrawal of his motion on
the same question, because the government then
stated they had made ail oiler of arbitration to the
United States and only daily expected a reply.
Since then, however, grave events have oc
: curred. Walker had been recognized by the l ni
ted States, and a vessel of war sent to Nicaragua;
I and hy the last accounts from America there was ,
; a prospect of. an invasion of the Mosquito Territo- |
rv bv Walker, with a view of its annexation to
Nicaragua. The House would remember that
England was pledged to protect that Territory
from external invasion, and a grave responsibility
devolved upon the government in this state of as
; fairs. He asked whether in the interval any steps j
■ had been taken to press the United Slates govern- j
ment for u reply.
Lord Palmerston professed himself unable to
give any definite answer. He could only say that
the American government had been made fully
aware of the offer of arbitration, and her Majesty's j
Ministers had nut thought it necessary to press for .
a replv. He thought the interests of the country,
and the permanent maintenance of amicable re
j lations between England aud America would he
promoted by the continuance of the judicious for
l hearauce the House had hitherto shown. That
i the questions now pending were of a very grave
character, but he sincerely hoped, and not without
good reason, that the discussion may terminate
; peaceably.
The Timed city article says: Although Lord
- Palmerston stated last evening that lie had re
reived information that Ml. Crumpton had been
ordered to leave Washington, the funds have
closed steady with a slight advance. The dis
count market is in fair supplv, in some instances

i New York, June 21.—The Cotton trade is dull,
■ with a disposition on the part of holders to accom
modate buyers. Sales of the past three days 2 500
bales. Middling nominally llkjc. Wheat still
slightly declining.
Boston-, June 17.—A large and enthusiastic
I Democratic ratification meeting was held at
Faneuil Hall this evening. Oliver Stevens, Presi
dent of the common council, presided. Speeches
were made by the lion. 11. F. Butler, Hon. Benj.
Rush, of Philadelphia, Col. Isaac H. Wright, and
i others.
Resolutions were adopted ratifying the nomina
tions of Buchanan and Breckenridge, commending
the administration of President Pierce, denouncing
Know Xothingism, and also the attempts which
have been made to throw odium ou the democrat -
| ic party in consequence of an assault made upon a
Senator of Massachusetts, and to raise an act of
personal violence to the dignity of a principle in
volving freedom of speech.
Concord, X. H., June 17th. —it is estimated that
from six to eight thousand persons were present
at the Democratic meeting held here to-dav. Hon.
John S. Wells presided, assisted by thirty Vice j
Presidents and six Secretaries. Three bands o t '
music were in attendance. Addresses were made
; by the President, by Hon. Benj. Rush of Pennsvl
vaniu, Hon. Harry Hibbard, Hon. H. W. Morrison,
Col. John 11. George, Hon. C. L Woodbury and
! others.’
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the Cincin
nati Platform and the administration of Franklin
Pierce.
The wliol* affair was one of the most enthusias
tic and successful demonstrations ever made in
New Hampshire. Whenever the names of Buchan- 1
an and Breckenridge were mentioned, cheer follow- j
I ed cheer. The exercises of the'day closed with a
splendid exhibition of fireworks.
Washington, June 18. -A line evening after the
rain lias invited a large crowd to the meeting to
night. The City Hall and neighborhood present a j
magnificent appearance. Salutes have been fired j
by aid of cannon, and fire-works arc displayed at j
several points of the citv. Hon. Amos Kendall j
being sick, Daniel ltatclifl'e. Esq., lias been chosen j
President, with several Vice-Presidents and Score- j
( furies.
The assemblage is considered the largest ever
■ held here. Three cities and the surrounding neigh
borhood arc largely represented. Resolutions rat
ifying the nomination of Buchanan and Brccken
ridge have been adopted with great enthusiasm.
Ward processions, with fine music, transparencies
and American flags, have moved to the place of
meeting with much enthusiasm.
General Quitman delivered the opening speech.
The speakers present are Weller, of California ;
Phelps, of Missouri; Staunton, of Tennessee ; Mc-
Guffin, of Kentucky ; Fuller, of Maine ; Mallory, of
Florida; Browne, of Mississippi; Florence, of Penn
sylvania ; Davidson, of Louisiana ; Faulkner, of
Virginia; Cobb, of Georgia; Smith, of Alabama;
Herbert, of Louisiana; and Harris, of Alabama.
Fifty Dollars Reward by a Mechanic.
To th- Edita• of the Constitutionalist.
1 authorize you to offer a reward of fifty dollars i
for the proof that James Buchanan said, in a speech !
in the United States Senate in 1 BBS, as stated in ;
some of the newspapers, that he “ cor dele, > 7 t
centj a day was enough for a laboring man."
It is the general belief with the Know Nothings
ihat mechanics have no sen"=e. 1 have found no
one that could make good this statement about
“ old Buck, so i thought 1 would otter a reward
for the desired information, that those who have
got :o much more sense than the mechanics, can
turn their knowledge to some profit.

been “in point of numbers and enthusiasm, near- j
Iv, if not quite, equal to the imposing deinonstr.i j
lions made last week ui New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore. Competent judges estimate the !
number present at fifteen thousand Owing to
the immense concourse ot the people, it was found
necessary to address the vast assemblage from two
stands. Such a great, general, glorious outpouring
of the Democracy was never before witnessed in

(In- President to infoinijthe House wlinl measures, j
it any, have been taken under the act of Congress j
appropidating $2.5,000 to purchase some work of j

Mr. Grow said for some days past there bad ap- j
peared in public print what purports to be a letter
from ex-Governor Reeder to him. la justice to i
Mr. Reeder, and to vindicate himself from the ini- j
nutation of a gross breach of confidence in pub- !
1 tatting a private communication, lie declared that j
no such letu-rhad been received by him from Mr.
Reeder on any subject whatever. He made this
explanation that ike forgery may be known to the
public.
Mr. Phelps said the letter to which the gentle
men refer, ed was addressed to Mr. Grove, of Kan
sas, purporting to have been written from this city
by ex-Gov. Reenter.
Mr. Grow replied that bis object was merely to
dear himself from any .connection with the letter.
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, gave notice that lie

flyo SUCH DISEASE AS “GENERAL DLS
Awl EASE,”—How often have been repeated to
interrogations such answers as “Why, sir, tor
madam,) you are laboring tinder general debility’’
—or, “general disease seems to pervade your on- j
tire system”- or, “there is a general complication j
of disorders afflicting von ” —or, “ disease is so
general throughout your .system, a thorough course j
of medicinal treatment must be adopted for its re
moval,” Ac., Ac. Such answers as these to the
poor trembling patient, at once convey the idea
that every, or nearly every part of the body has
become the seat of extensive organic disease, and
for the removal of which a diversified and long
course of treatment must be entered upon for their
removal, and the poor patient sinks almost with
despondency at the very idea that he is so much
“out of fix,” and that so much and such a variety
of drugs must be taken ere health will be restored.
To all such invalids l would say, be not dismay -
ed or discouraged, for rest assured there is no such
thing as “ general disease ” ■ there is no such state
of system as “general debility,” in the common
acceptation of the term, for however much the eu
tire system may seem to be diseased, yet upon
close examination, scrutiny and attention to causes
of ibis apparent general disorder, it will be found
that all these morbid symptoms have for their
source and origin some one or more diseased
points, from winch, through ihat chief characteris
tic of the lit ing body sympathy —all other morbid
symptoms arise.
It is very true, that one, or more, or even all the [
organs of the body, may -com to be diseased, but.!
rest assured that all this diseased action originates
invariably, from one or more diseased points —to
illustrate - are you troubled with a cough, pain in
the . ide, rapid breathing, easily “out of breath ”
upon the slightest exertion' Are you troubled
with sleeplessness, starting in sleep—-your thoughts
being rendered more vivid and paiuful by the vig
ils; impaired volition, headache, flushed face, pain
in the temples and fiice, humming in the ears, j
twitching ot the eyelids, occasional slight obsenra- !
tion of vision - Do you experience a “fluttering” I
of the heart, or palpitation by quickened exertion, !
pain in the chest, or darting pants over the region
of the heart, flying pains, stitches and cramps in
the ribs, between the shoulder blades, about the
hips and in the finger 3, which give you notions of
rheumatism' Have you a dry: tongue, or tongue
clean, red, swollen and deeply split in all direc- !
tions, gums receding from the teeth, breath hot but I
not foetid, thirst, low of appetite, or morbid craving
for food, constipation of the bowels, or irregular as i
to. time and quantity, nausea and vomiting 8 Is i
your mind irritable, with tits of depression of sav- -
era! hours’ duration, an impossibility to apply the 1
mind, imagining that this person or that person
lias dene von some wrong, or has a wish to do so' I
Are the feel almost constantly cold, and the skin ;
dry, harsh, sometime: with an unnatural heat and '
sometimes highly sensitive to cold - Is there a
diminution of secretion from the kidneys, or the j
secretion sometimes of one color and sometimes of j
another, pain over the region of the kidneys and
small of the bark, darting pains running down the *
thighs, cramps in the calves of the legs and feet *
Have you pain in the right side, right shoulder, or [
Tie Doloreux of the face, with a bilious, sallow j
complexion, yellowness of the eyeballs * If so,
l and there are thousands ot patients who can sub
scribe to every one, or a greater portion of the
above symptoms, i all Ibis multiform diseased ac
tion may, and in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases
in a thousand, do depend oil a small point of in
flammation in the digestive organs, and, perhaps,
no larger than a five cent piece. From this small
point of inflammation, small as it is, all the mor
bific symptoms above mentioned, arise, and the re
moving of this cause, this small point of inflamma
tion, the curing of this one small point of diseased
action in the digestive organs, the whole urra\ of
multiplied symptoms that yon have looked upon as
a “general disease,” and which you have often
times, no doubt, imagined would sooner or later
close your earthly career, will at once disappear.
Should this meet the eye of any invalid tvliose :
feelings and symptoms are described above, who
have any confidence in the doctrine as regards
causes as set forth, the attention of.all such are re
spectfully solicited to “ BUBS’ DYSPEPTIC
REMEDY ” a remedy, when used closely accord
ing to directions, wilt not fail in restoring’ diseased
action of the Stojnuch, as described above, and of
removing every y estige of disease, and cverv symp
tom described above. No long course of treatment
with this Remedy is required to ascertain its true
merits, for it Yvill begin to relieve the majority of
cases in a very few days, There may be cases that
will not experience this commencement of relief
for perhaps a week or ten days, and there tnay be
others where no appreciable alteration for the bet
ter can be discovered under two or three weeks,
but if taken in good faith and persevered in, it will
not fail to relieve any case, I care not lioyv stub
born it may have been. Mane pbysjci.,.is will prob
ably lead, thi.: paragraph with a smile of incred
ulity, (and I cannot blame them, in view of the j
thousand and one nostrums now before the people,
all of which are put forth as “sovereign remedies”)
but that this Remedy Yviii cure any case of Dys
pepsia, I am positive; and if there is any physician
it 1-0 does not choose to give it a fair test in his
practice, his patient only will be. the loser. I would ;
be glad to have all physicians test it, and would
they do so in good faith, they would find that 1 do
not overrate the virtue of the preparation. 1 am
positive in my belief, for I have used Ibis same
preparation for years in my pray lice, and tun pre
scribing it daily in my office practice, and know
its virtues, and most unhesitatingly say that there
is no cast of Dyspepsia but that I can cure, and
use nothing but this preparation.
