The crusade which has been raging against j ;
- ’Utlirrn rights for a number of years, by northern 1 !
uiles, now surpasses any, by its audacity and j i
'.croeness, that lias ever preceded it. Abolitionism i
was once confined to a small circle of fanatics i
a the free States, whose hissing scarce was heard
'• vend their own vicinage, but now the nest of |
v .pet's once poisonless as the one that hung upon
ilie hand ofplie apostle on the Island of Melita, hits
grown to an exceeding great army, and threatens j
: i infuse their venom all over the land. Religion*
is who once confined their spheres to the great ,
work of Christian civilization and true philantlirn- ,
pv, are now engaged with wonderful tact in an
unscrupulous warfare against us ; and politicians, i
heretofore esteemed conservative aud law-abiding, ,
are every where inflaming the masses, and invent- ;
mg “infei aal machines” tor oar destruction. Now l
are they combining their forces by a union of all \
(lie elements, ignonug past differences, to undo what .
ilie wisdom of others have doue, and when that ,
hall have been accomplished iif submitted to) to
lay violent hands upon the Constitution of your
fathers, and emasculate it ol all that i> good and
useful to us. My their own showing this much is
i.wealed : tbeMissouri restriction is to be restored:
■a Fugitive SI L - to be repealed or essen- .
nally modified , Kansas to come in as a free State
.a ii.it at all, and the law proclaimed “no more
slhvc States! ” To our deep disgrace and liumil-j
itioa, (here are persons within slave States, adding
I-.el to the tl.im,-, and Committing treason against
l»v giving ' aid and comfoi tto the enemy.” In i
~ tale Convention of Blaek Republicans, four
-lave Slates wet e represented: namely, Delaware,
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee ; and the
, umnee of that Convention is one who was born :
and reared in a southern State. In the work of
expul gallon, and resistance to these combined ;
tneini.'s, “win, is equal to these things'.”
There is no disguising the fact, thui the Ameri
>an partv has become sectionulized, has lost its
national!*v, and is perfectly inadequate to arrest
the tide ot aggre-siou, and ie lore the ooouti v to
,i- wonted peace ami quiet. Indeed has not the
party, Not 111, contributed much towards the un
happy state of things which now exists' To tins
,uestioii, there can be but one answer. I propose j
to look into it- history. North and South; and
which, though short is eventful.
Previous n, the ole,-!mg of ilie Convention in ;
blue, 1855, inanv of us had tears lliat the action
. t that bodt would not come up to our require- j
inent upon the slavery question in all of its phases,
especially in te.nird to the Nebraska and Kansas
act they met, however, and after much discussion i
and Some boiling, adopted a platform in which
occurs the- declaration of opinion, found in what
is generally known as the 12th section, as follows:
"The American partv. having arisen upon the
mins and in despite ot the opposition of the Whig j
and Democratic parties, cannot he held, in anv (
manner, responsible tor the obnoxious acts or vio
lated pledges ot either ; and it,,* systematic agita
tion of ihe slavery question by those parties hav
ing elevated sectional hostility into a positive ele- .
inent of political power, and brought oiu- institu
tions into peril; it has, (her,-fore, become the im
perative duty of the American party, to inter
pose, for the purpose of giving peace to the com,-
irv, aud perpetuity' to the l ninn; and, as experi
ence has shown it impossible to reconcile opinions
m extreme as those which separate the disputants,
audas there can be no dishonor in submitting to
the laws, the National Council has deemed it the
best guarantee of common justice and of future
peace, to abide by and maintain t lie existing laws,
upon ilie subject of slavery, a a final and conclu
sive seitlem. tit of that subject in spirit and in sub
stance.
"And regarding it the highest d»t*v to avow their
opinions upon a subject important, in distinct
and unequivocal terms, a is hereby declared li
the sense of this National ('ouucil, That Congress
possesses no powe: under ihe Constitution, to
legislate upon the subject of slavery in the States,
where ii does or may exist; or to exclude anv State
t:.im admission into the Uni, >u, because its Con
•.lihition does, or does not recognize the institution
■ d slavery as a part of it-; social system. And ex
pressly preterniitting any expression of opinion
upon the power of Congress to establish or pro
hibit slavery in any Territory, it is the sense
f the National Council that Congress ought not
to legislate upon the subject ol slavery within the
territories of the United States, and that any in
terference by ( ~ngre-s with slavery as it exists in
the District ot t ohimbia, would he a violation of
the spirit and intention ~f the compact by which
the State of Maryland cried the District to the
Lnited States, and a breach of the national faith.”
Upon the adoption of that section which mere
v acquiesced in past legislation, and prescribed
certain bounds over which Congress could not pass
some withdrew, and carried with them a formidable
party including South and North. The action of
ilie majority, however, gave entire satifaction to
the party in Georgia; as an evidence of which the
SiateCouncil met iu Macon on the 2,Bth of June
and ratified and approved the platform adopted at
Philadelphia, and in addition, passed the follow
ing resolution, and reaffirmed the Georgia plat
form of ISV>:
That this Council • while repudiating
the policy of allowing, in the future legislation of
the country, unnaturalized foreigners to vote in
the territorial elections, r-garth all op/»HsUi“n f-

r ami -.if* who inHale In
as digit to '« re*igtti*t.tf at members of
-.!■ ,• cioii, party.’’' The italics are my own. i
Thi- resolution, with the exception of the words
m brackets, was an exact transcript, so far as ap
plicable, of a resolution adopted bv the Legislature
to»*ninmu<!v in IS.-4,
*- Je National Council, and the State Council
then were agreed upon submission to the past leg
islation of Congress; the latter approving, in
strong terms, the principles contained in the Kan- !
yas and Nebraska act, aud holding all opposition
to it as “ hostility to the rights of the South, and
all persons who partake in such opposition unfit to
be recognized as members of the party.” Here,
then, was a solemn pledge made by the party in
. Georgia to stand by that act, aud hold all who ;
‘ would not,enemies. Indeed, without such a pledge !
the party could not have survived.
Thus matters stood until the assembling of an
other Convention which was field in Philadelphia
1 in Febniarv last, in which body there were but a j
few southern representatives. The clamor was :
loud and long for the repeal of the twelfth section
! of the June platform ; the banner of repeal was
; raised by the “ American Organ’’ a self-eonstitu
' ted mouth piece of the party, and thousands flock
ed to it, to pander to Abolition prejudices, which
were demanding the signing, sealing and delivery
ot the party into their unhallowed embrace. They
that asked received, they that sought found, and
1 to hint that knocked at this door it was opened;
the citadel wait taken, and the South robbed of all
that was practically of any importance to her, and
j without which she would be “poor indeed.”
111 the place of the twelfth section of the old, I
will give you the twelfth section of the new, which
reads as follows:
“ The maintenance and enforcement of all laws, i
constitutionally enacted, until said laws shall be
repealed, or shall he declared null and void by
j competent judicial authority.”
That sounds well, but does not help the case ; !
that does not meet the case of the one who desires j
the repeal of any of the former laws upon the sub
ject of slavery, nor does it provide against that
’ class of persons who hold to the right of private
judgment in interpreting the Constitution. Perhaps
j the word “constitutionally’’ was intentionally put
1 in to satisfy this class.
| But let me refer you to the thirteenth section, j
{ and see whether that comes up to the principles
contained in Ihe expunged section :
“ Opposition to the reckless and unwise policy
| of the present Administration in the general man- !
! agement of our national affairs, and more especial
: Iv as shown in removing ‘Americans’ (by desig
nation! and conservatives in principle, from office,
and placing foreigners and ullraists in their places; ■
as shown in truckling subserviency to the stronger,
and an insolent, cowardly bravado towards the ■
weaker powers; as shown in re-opening sectional
• agitation, bp tin repeal of the Missovrieompromise — j
niv own italics. as shown in its vacillating ;
course on the Kansas and Nebraska question,”
ami other enumerations not now get main to the
subject.
From June, ls.">s, to February, Is.Vfi, an aston
ishing change passed upon these guardians of the i
Constitution and the Union. For the sake of peace ■
and tranquillity the one obligates itself to abide
by and maintain, and the other denounces the Ad
ministration for doing what the party in Georgia I
said was right, and solemnly pledged themselves }
to do. 1 submit, then, does not this Convention,
which nominated Mr. Fn.LMOitfi, and whose act lie
endorses, as I shall show, stand convicted a! the \
bar of public opinion, of being ‘‘ in !oxtUity to tin '
Constitutional nights of the St'uth,” and accordingly j
“ unfit t<» be rreognited as members of the American !
partg." If the partv in Georgia intend to be bound
by their action of June gS, lS'>f>, they must now
and forever repudiate lliat concern, which, they be
ing judges, are put under the ban. Will they hue
to their bosom men who are “in hostility to the
Constitutional rights of the South r” For one, J■■
cannot—will not.
But Mr. Fu.i.mork is the nominee of that party
which has put itself in '‘hostility to the constitn- '
tional rignts of the South,” and for this coniplici- <
tv with them he is undeserving our support, if
he was in disagreement with them, he could not ;
with honor have acceptcdjhe nomination. The fact
of his acceptance is prima-fneie proof of agree- 1
inent, but is rendered conclusive by taking his :
letter of acceptance into the account. In his let- 1
ter of acceptance he says, and I only quote that
portion which relates to the platform, “So esti- 1
mating this partv, both in its present position and
future destiny, I freely adopt its great, leading I
principles, as announced in the recent declaration t
of the National Council, at Philadelphia, in copy i
of which you were so kind as to enclose me, \
holding them just and liberal to every interest of 1
the country, and wisely adapted to the establish- ;
inent and support of an enlightened, safe, and ettec- <
five American poliet, in full accord with the ideas j <
and the hopes of the fathers of our Republic.” I
Mr. Fiixmokk then adopts “the great leading prin- 1 1
ciples,” and one of those great leading principles : 1
is opposition to the “reckless and unwise policy of ! 1
the Administration, as shown by the repeal of the I <
Missouri Compromise,” and which leading princi- i
pie is “hostility to the constitutional rights of the I
South.” 1 i
In this connection, I might refer to the recent i
letter of Mr. Ki.hntdv, one of Mr. F.’s Cabinet, to 1
show that Mr. Fillmore was opposed to the repeal t
of “the restriction,” but that proof would bo only t
cumulative. ' j
If, then, .Mr. Fillmore is the nominee of that 1
Convention which condemns the repeal, and he , 1
endorses and approves that action, which is re- ! i
garded as hostility to the constitutional rights of
the South, does he not stand in a hostile attitude ;
to us, and is he not unlit to be recognized as a . i
member of the American party? With the party, t
whose nominee he is, must lie stand or fall. But
we are told that he will abide by the existing sta- 1
tus. I answer where is the evidence? Is it to be j
found iu the platform? most certainly not ; and is j
ii in his letter of acceptance? 1 answer, no. The
platform, as I have shown, is in hostility to the
Fierce Administration, on account of the repeal
of the Missouri restriction, and uo where contains
a sentence from which we may inter that as a par
ty they would resi. t an otter to repeal, and further j
than that, it is plainly deducible from their words
of condemnation that they favor a restitution.
Take this platform through its whole sixteen sec
tions, from the “humble acknowledgement to the
free and open discussion” clauses, and there is no
word or sentence which negatives the intent of a
restoration ol that "/me." It has been ingenious
Iv arranged, however, that the seventh section is a
cure-all provision, and is a satisfactory substitute '
lor the 12lli section, expunged; a comparison ot
the two will satisfy anv honest inquirer that such I
is not the case. But the question has not been an
swered vet, if the seventh does provide for the '
demands of the South, why was the Igtli stricken ;
out ? Again, suppose the seventh does asset t the j
principle of the Kansas act. n> to the right of the j
: people to manage their domestic and social affairs,
! of what avail is that, when the Missouri restric- ;
lion is in force and lull operation ?
There is a class who admit that the Philadelphia i
j Platform of February, does not meet the demands j
; of the South, but vet rely upon the conservatism j
: ol Mr. Fillmore ami his illustrious administration i
as a guarantee of hi- future course. Among this :
number, I suppose, 1 may be allowed to include a
; leading journal whose views are familiar to you !
all. That journal lias simply published the plat* ,
form as a matter of “curiosity,'’ and held it mien- f
titled to southern confidence.
I concede, with great willingness, that the ad- j
ministration <>f President Kili.mokk was conserva
j tive and able that it commended itself to the pub- ;
lie confidence indeed, perhaps, no President ever I
left Ilie executive office, since the davs of Wash
-1 vi.ton, more entitled to the gratitude of the Amer- I
: ican public ; and, perhaps, 1! is not too much to j
sav that he has received that gratitude from all j
portions of consei vative eilizens in full measure.
Those antecedents, nor his reference to them, in
his letter of acceptance, do not afford guaranty
sufficient. The questions at issue are new ; they
! were not known or discussed in 184 s ’52, and the
least thm can lie said is, that Ii is position upon
i them is doubtful.
I think I have j-hown him in hostility to ns on :
one question, which'is really the question. In these j
days of peril, I am unwilling to take any man “on
t rust the questions are too momentous they
involve our dearest rights, and we should require
every applicant for our suffrages, to come with
clean hands and unmistakable opinions.
For the sake of the argument. 1 will concede that
the platform is right, and Mr. Fili.mork also right,
upon these issues—a sense of duty would still
1 prompt me to withhold my support. 1 have al
ready stated that Ihe American party has no na
> tionaiity. Since the nomination,many of his friends
have bolted, and a union of the anti-slavery partv
has taken place, w ith the fixed design of making
file contest purely a sectional one. Such is the
contest now ; it is there avowed, publicly proclaim
ed. With that fact admitted, and Ido not hear it
denied, i> it a sate and wise policy for the South
to run two candidates, and thereby promote the
success of the anti-slavery ? I have answered to
myself this question—to you it may be a false con
clusion. If ever there was a time when we should
be “one people and one party,” that time is now.
Why should we enervate ourselves, and hind our
selves with “ withs,” when the enemy ts muster
ing his forces with a power, heretofore unknown,
to wr -t from ns clear, palpable, constitutional
rights ?
The Convention at Cincinnati lias boldly cud
fearlessly, in the heart of Free-Soilism, maintained
and sustained our views and our rights in regard
to slavery, and northern men have fearlessly turn
ed their back upon an aggressive constituency for
tlm sake of preserving the Union and the Consti
tution—shall wo strike them down while doing
battle for us
1 believe it is conceded on all hands, that the
Democratic Convention, upon the slavery question,
: has covered every point; and in this regard,-they
t and their candidates are unimpeachable. At least,
i 1 have seen no criticism upon its language to show
even an evasion.
Impressed with these convictions, and conclu
; ding with the rule with which I set out, namely,
my vote for those alone whose principles
’ will best promote the weal of the section in which
ae live, and at the same time preserve, in tact, the
Constitution as it is, I shall cast my vote for Br-
CH.IKAX and Burckjkiiidge, feeling that I have but
e discharged a solemn duty.
Your fellow-citizen, Et»w , H. Pottlk.
'• " anenton, June 2.'., 18*,i;
The Herald and Tribune on Colonel
Fremont's Prospects.
Before the meeting of the Philadelphia Conven
tion, says the Washington Union,) the tone of the
New York Ibreibl and of the Tribune indicated the
belief that that assemblage would have nothing
more to do than to nominate Colonel Fremont, t«
combine all the fragmentary elements of the op
position and overwhelm the Democratic nominees.
Those two journals have got their choice for a can
didate—not only nominated by the Black Repnbli
; cans at Philadelphia, but by the Know Nothings
at New \ ork. It is worth while now to see what i
they think of the prospects of their candidate, i
The Herah! philosophises on the subject as fob j
low s :
“With these divisions and dissensions among
! the opposition camps, the question of what are the !
prospects of the campaign may be readily an- ,
swered. According to the State' elections of the 1
last two years, the combined opposition forces are :
in a popular majority throughout the country of
upwards of three hundred thousand votes, compre
hending an electoral majority of seventy-nine, in
cluding all the northern States, and Delaware,
Maryland, and Kentucky in the South, besides a
hard push for Tennessee. Now, were these oppo
sition elements united in a common cause, and up
on a common ticket, and for the simple, practical, j
and tangible purpose of a new administration, i
they might still give to the (filibustering and nig
ger-driving Democracy the most disastrous and
decisive overthrow of any in the fluctuating for- \
tunes of the party. But, with this opposition ma
jority cut up and divided into conflicting factions
between Fillmore, Fremont, Stockton, and others,
they must necessarily be routed and scattered like
a flock of silly sheep before the solid masses of the
; ‘fierce democracy.’
“ What chance of an election is there for Fre
mont with Fillmore in the field, subtracting his
thousands from the ranks which, to be victorious,
must fie compact and unbroken? No chance
whatever. What chance is there for Fillmore with
Fremont aud his partisans arrayed against him? |
About as much chance as for the man in the moon. !
Between the Know- Nothing and the nigger-wor
shipper the dullest of blockheads muv readily per
ceive that there will be nothing left for Mr. Buch
anan to do but to make his domestic arrangements,
his cabinet and foreign appointments, &e., nrepar
atopy to the occupation of the President’s Mansion
on the 4th of March next. The result of the elec
tion, from the existing condition of things among
ihe opposition ranks, is just as certain as if it had
already t aken place, and had gone bv default in
favor of the Democratic party.
“It may be said by the astute Know Nothings
of the southern school, and even by Fremont
mathematicians, that while Fremont mav carry
i the North in spite of Fillmore, the latter
may really serve a good purpose in carrying a
southern State or two as an offset agair.sl the |>i>s
\ sible loss of a northern State or two; and flint iu
j this wav the election maybe thrown into the House
of Representatives at Washington, whetv the com
bined opposition forces have an overwhelm i
■ ing majority, and can choose either Fremont or j
Fillmore, a ihey may determine among them- !
selves. But ihis is a most delusive estimate, as the j
result will show if Fillmore ami Fremont are both i
retained in the field. Each will only weaken the
other, where, single-handed, one or Ihe other j
i might succeed. The lines, too, are so distinctly I ,
drawn upon me nigger question between the two
principal parties in the contest, that, as matters
now stand, it is morally certain there can he but
one and the same result in every southern Suite -
; to-wit, a Democratic majority. Let Mr. Fillmore *
adhere to his present position as th* ‘South Amer- j 1
ican’ candidate, and the election night of Novell’.- (
her next will, in all probability , leave him without
the vote of a solitary State in the Union. Oil the
other hand, lie mav be strong enough to break down *
Fremont in every northern State, except two or ;
three of the most ultra anti-slavery character.” .
The JleraM is never without a resource in a
hopeless contest. It now calls for another conven
tion byway of keeping up the drooping spirits of
its friends. We quote:
“Considering the existing divisions and discor- a
dant and clashing platforms, tickets and factions, ?
among the opposition camps, there is but one 1
course of action left them as affording anv wav of 1
escape whatever from the most ignominious do- 11
feat all round. That course is a general conven
tion, with a view to a general concentration of their
forces upon a single ticket tn opposition to the s
Democracy. We propose, therefore, for the sake
of giving some degree of interest, spirit and activ- 1
ity to this canvass, that the ■■ position parties and ; s
factious of all sorts -old Whim, anti-Picrcc, and !
anti-uigger-driviug Democrats, Freesoilers proper, i 1
nigger worshippers, Know Nothings, and what \ t
not call cojoiutly a general fusion convention, for : f
the practical purpose of a confederation or a coali- j 1
tion ticket for the Presidency, upon the broad !
platform of the Constitution, the Union, and a | c
uew administration ; and that this practical and !
comprehensive convention be held in New York I ’
about the last of August, or earlv in September. ! ’
“This is ilie last chance. In default of the | '
adoption of some such plan of cohesion and con
centration against the common enemy —old Whigs,
old Freesoil Democrats, nigger worshippers. Know
Nothings, bolters and all will be w hipped, rent- j
ed, dispersed, aud ignoininiotisly crushed font k
from one end of the country to the other. A : *
: union convention of all the opposition leaders, a|‘
’ consolidation of all the forces upon one cqniiuoti ! ‘
ticket, and upon a simple comprehensive, anti- ! f
Democratic platform, is their only chance."
The Tribune indulges in a tone but liitle mole
hopeful than the Hera 1 1. We suspect that both ot !
them have discovered that the people have less
fancy for bug-eating exploits ns qualifications for:
Ilie Presidency than for long ami large experience I ,
and high intellectual abilities in tin- legislative
and executive and diplomatic, employments ol , ;
statesmanship. The Tribum jeremaid is as fol- j •
lows: ! *
“We do not enter upon the contest before in in
any spirit of overweening confidence. \\ e admit i ;
1 that the apparent odds are greatly in favor of isiir 1
j adversaries. We realize the obstacles thrown in
the way of our success bv the existence and pecu
liarities of ibe ‘American' organization. We know
: that the votes of all the slave States but Missouri j
j and Delaware, with probably these also, will be I 1
! thrown lor either Buchanan or Fillmore—most of 1
them for the former. We feel that Ihe possession :
of the government, with the disbursement of the ! -
j millions constantly flowing from the treasury, j •
i weighs heavily in favor of the Cincinnati nomi
nees. We are prepared to hear that several emi
nently respectable, distinguished, and wealthy j
| citizens, who have h tlierto voted mainly with us, j
( when they voted at all, will now refuse to support
1 the Philadelphia nominations. But we know that j
our standard bearer bits hitherto encountered and
1 vanquished greater odds tiiun these. We l eiriein
„ber that in the long contest for Speaker, Mr. Banks
! at no time received a single vote from a slave State, j
vet he was at last triumphantly* chosen, ami tliai
the threatened dissolution of the l nion, instead of
thereupon occurring, was again postponed to some
; future exigency as it will be again and again.
“As to the ‘American’ difficulty, we feel that the
convention has done whatever could consistently j
be done to unite ami harmonize all the elements of
opposition to the Nebraska iniquity and the Pierce ‘
dynastv. We are unfeignedl.v anxious that all ad
vocates of free Territory shall net with us in sup- j
port of lliat principle; but we cannot do aught to j
| secure the co-operation of one class of voters !
: friendly to our great principle which will uecessa- j
rilv tend to repel and drive away another class. 1
We do not inquire whether our candidates for an v -
; trust have or have not been of the ‘American Or- ;
i der;’ we will treat all us brothers and equals who !
I will act heartily with us iu the great struggle now !
| commencing; why should not this be enough ? To 1
, exact more is to insist on defeat and destruction,
1 : We appeal to the magnanimity, forbearance, and
1 ; good sense of ‘Americans, ’ as of all others who ’
concur with us in desiring ami demanding a union 1
• for freedom.”

§T IS a fact established and well known that ;
the Arabians attained a height in the knowledge 1
of medicine which caused the whole world to won- !
del and admire. Willi them the science of client- i
istry had its birth, and it is, therefore, not at all j
strange that a people so eminently successful in
the healing art, and so persevering and daring in
I character, should, by actual and untiring experi
ment, discover remedies far surpassing in efficacy
all others, tor the cure of those diseases incident to I
them from their mode of life. The greater part of
; their time being spent in hazardous and bloody ;
warfare with the different tribes, they were subject j
j to the most violent attacks ot rheumatism, paralv- i
-is, neuralgic pains, and various iiiHammatorv dis
| eases, as also the most bond wounds, sprains, tu
j mors, bruises, swellings, diseases of the joints etc.
j etc. All these diseases they were so surprisingly
efficient in curing, that the uninitiated looked with
! wonder, and attributed their skill to the powers of
i magic. 11. G. FARRELL S ARABIAN LINIMENT
is a composition of balsams and oils, from rare
j plants peculiar to this country, and it was by the
‘ us,* of the articles composing this great remedy
that not only their physicians, but even the wild
1 Arabs of tbe desert were enabled to perform such
] miraculous cures. The Anthxteot h -iporhl-irnotoned
; / r his tmiulii’nl xi/nmrti-;/ of form, his unsurpassed
speed and agility, and the incredible fatigue lie is
capable of enduring. Why is it ? Because from
; the lime of his birth his limbs are carefully watch
ed, and upon the lirst appearance of disease the j
magic lotion is applied, and such things as con- I
tinned sweeny, poll-evil, fistula, ringbone, spavin, |
scratches, lameness, etc., etc., are unknown. The j
same tesiill will follow in all eases where 11. G. j
Farrell’s Genuine Arabian Liniment is used in!
i time. Therefore delay not in procuring a good i
! supply of it, for every dollar spent in it will save j
| von twenty, and a great deal of suffering, if not !
your life.
Lookout for Counterfeits!
The public are cautioned against another coun- !
1 terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because hi* having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover (heir error
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
; effects.
The genuine article is manufactured only by 11.

OUESTIONS THAT DYSPEPTICS
ASK.
llMl Yl' shall 1 Eat 7”
wf “How much in quantity or weight
ought 1 to oat at a meal ?”
“Shall I commence a rigid course of Dieting?”
“Shall I leave of Eating Meaty”
“Must 1 stop Drinking Coffee?”
i Are questions being propounded to me daily bv
letter, from invalids using nr about to use “BLISS’
DYSPEPTIC REMEDY . For the benefit of all
whom it may concern, I will answer those ques
tions. To the first question, I answer—Eat any
thing that is good, wholesome, substantial, and
nourishing. To the second question, I answer
Eat as much as you are accustomed to eat, or what
ever would be considered a sufficiency by the gen
erality of healthy people. To the tliird' question,
I answer—No, for it you do you never will get well.
No dyspeptic, or any other pci sop. laboring under
chronic disease, c. er got rid of his disease, or ever
will, by starving himself. To question four, I ans
wer —No; for meat’s a most important article ot
diet to the invalid dyspeptic. To question five, I
answer No; if you art accustomed to drinking it;
the question as to whether tea and coffee are inju
rious is all moonshine.
Such advice as the above to a dyspeptic and to
persons laboring under chronic diseases genet ally,
will no doubt be read and regarded Ijv a great
many with much surprise; and I am greatly"mis
taken if the above is not pointed at by many saga
cious and wise heads as proofs either that 1 know
nothing of the diseases which I pretend to treat,
that it is some new phase in the humbug line. But,
hold on a hit, all you that think so—throw the old
fogy aside for a moment and let us see about this
matter. Wc won’t stop to inquire how you came
by your dyspepsia, but we will inquire—why is it
that you have not got well of it long ago? wliv is 1
it that it sticks to you, tormenting you so that Von
are of no manner of account? Simply because'the
powers of the system are unable to throw off the 1
disease because the system has, from some rea
son, become too much enfeebled - too much reduced
in vital force—too much in a weakened state • or
that the extent, severity or stronghold that the dis
ease has got. is too great for the ri* nu-hmtri.r -na
ture* —the powers of the system to remove. This
is the reason, and the only reason, that vou arc not
well. Well, how are you to be cured ? ‘ Bv pursu
ing such a course of treatment as shall help out the
iitßitcittris. mi faro, and the powers of the sys ,
tom -by instituting a treatment that will bind itp, ’
strengthen, give tone and vigor, and lend a help- ■
iug hand to the entire general system, by which ;
she may he enabled to throw oft'tiiis disease, as for
instance, regular out of door exercise, cold bath
ing, travelling, change of scene, Ac., and the tak- I
ing of medicinal agents. Why is medicine taken? 1
Simply to assist nature to throw off disease, and <
nothing else. Medicine has not one particle of in- i
tluence on disease—not one particle. Medicine ’
don’t cure disease, it only assists nature to throw <
it off'. Now comes the question : while we arc do
ing everything in our power to bind up and 1
strengthen the general powers of the system, that
she may be enabled to throw off" this disease, shall 1
we at the same time deny her her natural .stimu
lus her natural strengthener ? shall wc withhold
that by which she is nourished and supported, viz:
food, good, wholesome and substantial food ? Bv
no means ; for if wo do, wc are bringing about the
very same state of system that wc are Irving to get
rid of; by withholding food wc reduce ami weak
en the system. The taking of good and substan
tial food is as essential as any portion of the treat
ment that we institute, in fact, very much more so,
for the food is the natural strengthener of the pow
ers of the system, and from it good, rich and healthy
blood is made. .
All this, we grant, says my sagacious friend, but,
continues he, what’s the use of a person eating it
his stomach is in an unfit state to receive atnfdi
gest that food and prepare it for the system ; and
besides, says he, there are hundreds and thousands
that cannot take much food upon the stomach in
consequence of the great distress it causes. Now
this is a very important question, and a very true
remark. There would be but little use in taking
this good, wholesome and substantial food unless
the stomach could receive and digest it, and, too,
without pain and distress ; and that the stomach
may receive and digest, the food, and without pain,
recourse must be hud to medicinal agents. Bv
these, if a judicious choice is made among the re
medial agents, the stomach may be enabled to per
form its !unctions—may be enabled to receive and
digest the food, and, too, without pain or distress.
Now conies the question—what remedial agent
shall we use? Shall we use calomel y No; because
in its action it stimulates the mucus membrane ot
the stomach and bowels, which are already in an
over-excited and inflamed state. Shall we use iron
or any of its kindred preparations? No; for the
same reason. They would not only stimulate the
already over-excited mucus membrane of the sto
mach, but render it still further unable to prepare
those preparations for their admission into the
system, so if their presence in the stomach did no
harm, they could not possibly do any good, from
the tact ot their not being taken into the eireula
; non.
Shall we use any of the iminv “specifies” that
j are now-a-days placed before the people as “sov
ereign remedies?” No; for nine-tenths of them
are prepared with ale.dud, or some other eouallv
stimulating liquid, and nothing is or can be more
! injurious or hurtful to an inllamed mucus mem
bratie of the stomach, than alcohol or any of its
j preparations.
j V. hat remedial agent shall we use then 5 This
! IS « question that I asked for ears. 1 tried over
and over again all the remedy’s and prescriptions
found m the hooks 1,,,, all to little „r no purpose,
until at List, aided bv uvtierinionts almost without
number. 1 compounded a remedy which, although
very simple, yet I touud always most effectual when
mv directions were complied with. This prepara
tion I have used in eases of every description of
Dyspepsia, and Other diseases having their origin
m disease of the stomach, for the last ten years in
in\ private practice, anil am now prescribing it
dady, by letter, to patients in every section of'The
United States, who have placed tlieir case under
my especial care and treatment. My legitimate
business is the treatment and prescribing bv letter
for chronic disease generally, and n»m-,.'nih.s of
the cases I ruv enm lor are either Dv - i o p s j a or
some other diseas, ... it 3 origin in disease of
the stomach. luU. :c by. I will here take oc
| casion to drop the eat that . omc oi i.y friends
{ iorget that I lay no.euun to being a philanthropist
! or that I “ grind sot toll. ' I am ready and williim-’
: and do, as expeditiously as possible, answer all
their letters and it gives me pleasure to do so, hut
, when it will take from ouo to two, tlmee and four
j hours to answer and advise them, 1 alwavs like to
!’ see the “five”—it helps out amazingly—especially
' when their case happens not to be D yspepsia j Y
; have now placed this remedy before the public as
| one that may be relied upon, and I do so without
j any hesitation, doubt or distrust iu its virtues or
ability to cure, providing the instructions are fol
; lowed out.
In conclusion, i will take occasion to remark
that there are hundreds and thousands throimhout
the United States that are suffering from the dis
ease, Dyspepsia, and are taking this, that and the
other preparation, and at the same time living on
bran and water, and other such like slops, in the j
hope of being relieved of their disease; but thev '
are all doomed to disappointment, for it is bevond >
question, that in order to become rid of that dis- i
cage, a good and wholesome diet must be made '<
' use of, and suitable remedies taken at the same
time to enable the stomach to digest this food, and
fit it for the circulation. Such a remedy is “ Bl’lSX’
DYSPEPTIC REMEDY,” which, ts taken and per
severed iu, ami all the directions followed out, will
1 not tail to restore the patient to health; and here I
would remark, that no disappointment, may be ex
perienced, that its virtues are not in all cases dis
; eeruible in the taking of one package, and perhaps
in some few extreme cases, the taking of two tvaek
ugc-g. a steady and persevering taking of the
REMEDY is recommended, and rest assured it
will, sooner or later, be discovered that it does
■ possess virtues almost inestimable.
