The Catholic Fair— Tuesday.
On Tuesday next Masonic Hall will be opened to
the public by the ladies of the Catholic church of
this city, who propose—as we have already an
nounced—to hold a Fair for church purposes.
This congregation has commenced, and already
proceeded far in the work of erecting a new house
of worship—the one at present in use being too
small for their accommodation. The board of
gentlemen having charge of this work, are en
deavoring to proceed as cautiously as possible, so
as to avoid incurring a heavy debt for a future
generation to pay. In consequence of tbis the
building has proceeded rather slowly, but will be
all the more secure, as the foundation will have
time to settle—and so will the Trustees, which
will give them a full right and title to the church
when completed. At the present time there is a
small balance due for bricks, Ac., and it is to pay
this debt that the ladies hold the Fair next week,
and not altogether for the purpose of going on with
the work, as we stated some day or two since.
We make this statement, injustice to the direc
tors of the building, as the public might enter
tain erroneous opinions, should the work not ba
continued food after the Fair; though we really
believe that when this debt is paid, the directors
will be enabled to proceed with the work, and, we
hope, bring it to a successful completion.
There will doubtless be a beautitul display at
the approaching Fair, and as the Christmas holi
days are approaching, an excellent opportunity
will be afforded for purchasing articles suitable
for presents. Our fair friends “know no such
word as fail”—and we do not hesitate, therefore,
to express our confidence in the entire success of
their festival next week.
Health of Augusta.
The City Sexton reports sixteen deaths in this
city, during the month of November—twelve whites
and four blacks. The hospital keeper reports ten
persons in that institution—seven males and three
females.
Adams’ Express Company.
The very courteous agents of the Adams’ Ex
press company, handed us, on yesterday, New Oi
leans papers of Wednesday, and Memphis papers
of Thursday. The former was twenty-four hours
in advance of the mail, and the latter twelve hours
in advance. These favors are daily received by us
from that company, and we thank them for their
kindness, in the past, and the present, and we
■hall have daiiy opportunities of doing so in the
future.
Old Fogydom vs. Young America.
As we sat at the table in the Council Chamber,
at the last regular meeting of our City Fathers, re
porting the highly interesting proceedings of that
respectable and enlightened body, we were some
what startled at the introduction of an ordinance,
the effect of which would be hardly less than the
prohibition of equestrian performances in our city;
or at least that portion of such entertainments as
is given gratis to the public, and which is dispens
ed from the ornamental chariot usually drawn by
a large number of gaily caparisoned horses, and
from which a brass band discourses eloquent and
spirit-stirring music. We say we were startled;
for what would Young America do without the
band wagon, and without the always “ old clown,”
with his excruciating jokes and laughable contor
tions —pshaw ! scarcely any use to be a child wiih
out the circus ; and yet, here was a blow aimed in
directly at the rights of Young America, and di
rectly at this ancient and popular amusement
What would Young Rome have cared, m the days
of that ancient Republic, for the Olympic games,
if the equestrian feats had been omitted? Why,
they would have cared nothing for them; thi
games would have been insipid and unrelisna
ble. And the spirit of that day is alive yet.
But the youug folks may rejoice ; they may
build bonfires, and throw up their hats; for they
have found a liberal Council, ready and determined
to protect their inalienable right to be amused.
The canvass may still be erected in our city lim
its ; the band wagon, with its gaily caparisoned
steeds, may yet perambulate our thoroughfares ;
the brazen instruments may continue to give wel
come notes ot the coming of the “grand entree
into the city ; ” the trumpets may sound, the base
drums quake, the little drums roll, and the cym
bals shake! for Young America is triumphant t
the circus is unannihilated !
The ordinance, which proposed to increase the
tax oa equestrian exhibitions, and prohibit the
bands from playing in the streets, having been
read
Mr. Tctt, from the first ward, said he hoped that
it would not pass; be hoped that we had not got
to be so puritanical yet; he was in favor of amuse
ments for the people, and would, therefore, oppose
the passage of this ordinance, for it was a virtual
prohibition of equestrian performances ; and be
was not in favor of depriving the people of amuse
ments. We might as well stop the military bands
from playing on their instruments in the streets,
as to stop the band wagon music. This latter af
forded pleasure to a number of people, and he was
unwilling to have it stopped. He was in favor
even of the organ grinders.
Ur. Foster, from the first ward, was in favor of
the ordinance. He considered the circus a nuis
ance ; whenever one came along, the little negroes
would steal from one to five dollars from their
owners, or others, for the purpose of going to the
exhibition ; and besides this the procession'of the
music through the streets scared the horses, and
caused them to runaway. It was but a few days
since that a child had lost its life through this
means, having been run over by a horse which
was scared at the music. [ This was au error, we
think ; for we were informed that the horse was
seated by a dug barking at his heeis on Greene
street, and not by the music. Indeed, we might
say that a horse “which has no soul for music”—
which runs away from strains of melody, is not
fit to-go through Broad street, and should only be
allowed through the back ways and unfrequented
parts of the city. But to resume :]
Mr. Sledge from the second ward, thought the
gentleman from the first ward was rather superanu
ated ! tlaughter.J He, (Mr. Sledge,) was in favoi
of Young America enjoying itself; and would,
therefore, vote against the ordinance.
Mr. Foster replied in the same straiu ; but we
did not get bis remarks.
Mr. Ford, from the third, ward, was not in favor
of prohibiting these exhibitions altogether; he
thought if the Council wanted to prohib t them, it
ought to do so directly, and not indirectly; but he
was in favor of putting the license up as high as
the circus companies would bear, without amount
ing to a prohibition, and leaving the amount to be
determined by the city officers and the circus com
panies.
Mr. Sibley, from the third ward, w'as also oppo
sed to this ordinance, It was his opinion that the
plumes on the horses heads did more harm than
the music in the band wagons; and as people
could hear the music for some distance,they should
keep their horses and vehicles out of the way. A
child has been killed in our streets by the railroad
cars passing through ; and it would be just as rea
sonable to stop them as to stop the circus music.
A motion was then made to lay the ordinance on
table, which prevailed; and so the Olympiad may
continue.
fliiliedgeville Correspondence.
Milleugevili.k, Ga., Dec. 2.
Editor Constitutionalist — Sir : In exercise of my
powers of locomotion I strolled into the House of
Representatives, and as standing by the fire-place
near the Speaker, brings one facing the gallery, it
is very natural to look up there. Why is it that
ladies when they meet each other, (1 mean young
ones,) will kiss each other? They evidently think
that they do first rate, and often after such a per
formance, look around at the gentlemen attendants,
as much as to say “ don’t you wish you could?”
But really the little innocents don’t know how ! It
requires a gentleman and a lady, the gentleman
young, handsome and sober; the lady young,
pretty and modest; the gentleman should be newly '
shaved, for kissing and hair, like brandy and wa
ter, spoils both the ingredients and aint good
mixed. The ladies only touch the lips, but the
soul of kissing is a promethean spark, and as there
is no sensation caused by touching one pole of the
electric battery, but the all pervading fire awakens
every nerve when both are touched, so the human
form is the reservoir of electric life, only differing
in the one point that there is no negative \>o\e.
So much for the theory, now for the practice.
Catch her eye if you can and watch her face, if over
her chek there slowly comes a roseate glow like the
first faint pencilings of the morning skyj if her
glance discloses the soul looking from its starry,
portals through a veil of tears —then when the long
silken eye lashes rest again on the glowing car
mine of the cheek, that is as much as to say, “I
am waiting.” Then clasp her hand gently,’hut
firmly in yours, and let there be no gloves to spoil
that most exquisite j y of humanity—the sense of
tcuch; let your cheek touch hers, your lips slow
ly glide upon her own, let there be no haste, but
like the humming bird, that hovers trembling with
rapture above the golden callice of the lilly, so
dwell until you feel that your heart is a golden
harp, and that its diamond strings are touched by
an angel’s hand—then quit. You then haye only
to choOse between lunacy and matrimony. As
for myself, 1 never heard but one such a kiss in
my life. That was over three years ago, and as
the God of sleep recalled in vision, the blessedness
of the day, I kissed the bolster until I got mv
mouth full of feathers. Lots of folks kiss like
ducks eating flies, and, like ducks, they don’t
know what is good.
The House occupies a fine chamber, little differ
ing from the Senate, except that the horse shoe
gallery sweeps nearly around three sides of the
chamber. It, too has its pictured glories, but only
three—the line life size painting of Governor Jack
son has been already mentioned? that middle aged
man with the great coat that stands in the canvass
with his arms out from his body and his shoulders
drawn up as if he were cold—that is the boy hero
who forsook the vine clad hills of France and all
the bright allurements of the gayest court in Eu
rope, and laid his fortune and ancient name as a
free will offering on the altais of the West. The
budding laurels of liberty twined with the fair lil
lies of the Bourbon, and when peace again sway
ed her golden sceptre on our shores, he came
again ; theu it was that the cannon strained their
brazen throats to tell of the gratings of the people,
and old men bared their silvery locks, and mai
dens strewed sweet flowers before the footsteps of
Lafayette. Right opposite is another picture that
I never gaze on without thinking of his celebrated
toast. The two great powers of Europe, and the
rising constellation of the West were represented;
and the Englishmen, glowing with national pride,
drank to England, the sun whose beams lighten
the earth, and by whose warmth the nations there
of are blessed. The Frenchman proposed France,
the moon, whose mild radiance was the beauty
and glory of the earth. Franklin, the philosopher,
stood up, and pledged to Washington, the Joshua
that commanded the sun and moon to stand still,
and they obey ed him. Well worthy to look in
calm wisdom on the deliberations of our State
is he,
“Wh<", with the thunder, talked as
Friend to friend, and wove his gar.and
Os the lightning’ swing in sportive twist.”
But tlftre is more in that hall that commands
notice, than the glowing canvass. That slender
black haired gentleman in the Speaker’s chair is
Mr. Irvin of Wilkes, the one that came so near
beating Mr. Underwood, (the Representative of
the fifth) for the chair in 1857. There is lit-
tie difference in point of ability between him and
the President of the Senate; both are character
ised by untiring energy, both are perfectly famil
iar, not only with the rules of their respective
Houses, but wi >h general parlaimentary usage; and
while a casual observer might think it an easy
thing to set in an arm chair and put questions, yet
it requires no small ability to promptly decide the
various questions of order, aDd no little personal
influence to keep in order such vast bodies of
mixed elements as our Senate and House of Rep
resentatives. lam satisfied that ten days of this
session have been saved to both Houses by the
prompt action of their presiding officers in put
ting down useless and disorderly debate, and I
wish they had still grea*er power. It is strange
how much harmony and good feeling pervhdes
the Legislature. There are men from where the
mountains that guard our northern borders, staud
like “dials reared by the wizard time, to count his
ages by”—lrom where the wild deer slakes his
thirst in the chrystal stream that gushes from the
granite hills—then feeds upon the Howry herbage
of the vale, from the banks of the placid Savan
nah and the arrowy Chattahooche from middle
Georgia where the “wind that blows through the
colleges” sigh among the pines above the worn out
fields—from southern Georgia, where the Saxon
spirit has triumphed over the Swamps and the
Seminole —from city and farm and office and work
shops they congregate ; and American and Demo
crat, join fraternal hands around the altar of the
public good. «•
Like the Senate, the House is composed mostly
of new members, but some of the old members re
main. There is Mr. Smith of Towns, short in
stature, square built, vigorous in health and re
markable for the strength of his declamation—Jie
is not a polished speaker, but as able as he is ener
getic. 1 first knew him when he measured his
strength against Governor Johnson in the eflbrt
to pass the Hiw.assee railroad hill over the veto;
his speech then was one of the few efforts that I
have seen change a general sentiment—its success
is a matter of record.
Mr. Lester, of Cobb, is a lawyer of good ability
and an able orator.
That fine looking inan near the lobby, whose fea
tures are half hid by black whiskers is Mr. Holden,
of Taliaferro. Both he and his colleague in the
Senate, Mr. Reid, must be men of high standing
at home, as they both had the potent influence of
Alexander 11. Stephens to combat in their election.
Among the young members that I think will
make their mark on the bright side of Georgia’s
destiny, I notice three that set this session for the
tirst time, Mr. Lumpkin, of Clarke, is a son of the
eminent Judge of our Supreme Court—he is a
lawyer, and 1 regret to say, an American. I have
not heard him in debate this session, but hope
often to, hereafter. Mr. Lofton, ot Oglethorpe, has
also been silent so far as I know, except when he
paid that beautiful and feeling tribute to the mem
ory of the departed Gilmer. Mr. Wicker, of Wash
ington, is, I believe, like the other tw r o, a lawyer;
and if he'is not able in debate, his intellect has
shrunk since his school boy days.
Os Mr. Delony, of C'ark, I have already spoken.
He has already taken his position among the de
baters of the House that command attention. Mr.
Tuggle, of Campbell, is not interesting but always
sensible. Mr. Mint/., of Jackson, says little, but
that is to the point.
I have the pleasure of boarding at the same
house with about twenty members of the Legisla
ture, and a more pleasant crowd I never fell in
with. The chief and assistant clerks of the House
are Messrs. Diamond and Hillyer. Mr. Hillyer is
a son of the distinguished Congressman of that
name. Mr. Fort has been acting at the desk as
reader of the House, for some days. He is a son
of one of the tirst physicians in Georgia, and ah
able Clerk. The Messenger, Mr. Ozlin, is, of
course, everywhere that be is wanted. The Sen
ate Lai a-Messenger in the person of Mr. Brewster,
that bids fair, like Mr. Ozlin, to hold his office as
long as he wants it. He makes himself a necessi
ty to the Senate.
In the House, to-day, a bill passed to exempt
five hundred dollars worth of propefty from levy
and sale, instead of the two hundred now allowed.
In the Senate,the veto on the Choice case came up.
Mr. Lawton opened the debate, on the motion to
pass the bill, for the pardon, over the veto. He
stated that he had tried to divest himself of all
feeling, and, now, more than ever, felt like saying
to the Senate, “put off vour shoes, for the sjot on
which you stand is hallowed ground.” He took the
position that the question is not now one for par
doD, but of the very existence of our Government.
He disclaimed all ill will against the Executive,
and shouldjidherejto the lesson of his boyhood: “To |
show respect to those that have the dominion over
us.” Had the General Assembly the power to
pardon ? If yea, they had it in themselves, and
had exercised that power—no matter by what ma
jority. He revered the Constitution, giving to
the Governor the pardoning power in all cases, ex
cept murder and treason ; and vesting the pardon
of those crimes in the Legislature—properly so,
because with one man there cannot be that con
flict of mind with mind, and information of vari
ous reason, aB in the General Assembly ; that the
three departments wire distinct, and that the Leg
islature only interfered with the judiciary by the
express permission of the Constitution ; and that
the general clause requiring the Governor to sign
all bills, was overruled by the special grant of
power to the Legislature, and, therefore, his sig
nature to a pardon for murder, was but a custom
ary form ; in short, that the Executive “I forbid,”
would apply just as well to an election for judge
of the Supreme Court, or Untied States Senator, as
to a pardon bill.
Mr. Hill, of Troupe county, took the floor,
and stated that the records of Georgia
now show what they never did before, a man pro
nounced insane and unfit to die, by eight expert
witnesses, all physicians, thirteen other witnesses,
oae judge of the superior court, his own mother,and
one hundred and twenty-five legislators—and a bill
for bis pardon vetoed! He read the opinion of Alex-
ander Hamilton, in treating on the question of the
yeto, in that convention presided over by Wash
ington, that framed the Federal Union. That the
purpose of the veto was first to defend the Execu
tive from the encroachments of the Legislature;
and second, to prevent hasty, inadvertent or cor
rupt legislation. The veto was a feature of mon
archy, looked on with suspicion and distrust; the
royalty of England had not exercised it for many
years. He read the opinions of Marshall and Sto
ry, that the pardon was a benign prerogative of
one power, and argued that the one power here is
the people, and their prerogative of pardon was
given to their representatives. The Queen of Eng
land would not dare to veto the joint action of the
British houses of Lords and Commons in parlia
ment assembled; it would cost her her throne; and
he asked if Americans lost the spirit of English
freeman when they passed through the fires of the
revolution.
The life or Choice was but the dust in the bal
ance in the great question of power. The Legis
lature might as welt do away with its committees
—carry its arguments to the Executive Chamber,
and put through the forms of Legislation only
what his Excellency recommended. As for him
self, he was for pardon, and did not expect to be
ashamed of it when his locks were grey. Mr. Col
lier of Fulton, wanted to know if the act was com
plete without the signature of the Governor. Why
did they want
not a law now ? The power to make laws, and to
grant pardons was in the same terms, and both
required Executive sanctions, or two-thirds ma
jority. If Choice is insane, let a jury under a com
mission of lunacy, so say, and he could not be
hung.
Mr. Holt, of Muscogee, defined law to be, “a
rule of action, commanding what is right and for
bidding what is wrong.” Pardon was not a law,
but a release from the penalty of law, and, there
fore, the Governor has no right to meddle, under
the general requirement, to sanction, or disap
prove of laws, etc. The Savior was God incarnate,
and put in the decalogue the law: “Thou shalt not
steal.” Yet, in his last agonies, he pardoned tha
supplient thief by his side. That pardon was not
the law, but the remission of law. He argued that
the pardon by bill, was but a form of accident—
the Constitution defined no form, and as well
might the Governor, when elected by the Legisla
ture, refuse his sanction to a resolution to go into
the election. He, and the United States Senators,
held their offices during the term, and until a suc
cessor was elected and qualified; so, if two-thirds
did not concur, a Governor or Senator, so elected,
might hold office for life.
The Senator from Thomas made a splendid
speech for passing the bill over the veto. The
vote was taken, the two-thirds not reached, and the
bill did not pass ever the veto. A resolution pass
ed by fifty-two to fifty-one, to meet the House in
joint committee to morrow, and pardon Choice in
spite of the Governor.
The Baldwin Blues, in their beautiful uniform
of blue, crimson, and gold, have been on parade
to-day. A gentle rain had fallen, and as the com
pany reached the summit of the hill on Jefferson
street, a rainbow slowly spanned the sky. What
a picture! The quiet dwellings of the citizens
around, the grey turrets of the Capitol to the right,
sky dark with clouds; but in the centre the pillared
flag of Georgia supporting the arch of her Consti
tution, surrounded by brave young hearts and glit
tering steel, and over all, floating in calm beauty,
the token of eternal hope, the radient bow of
heaven ; ever so my country, may strong arms
guard thy Constitution, and the visible smile of
Heaven bend above it.
How 1 love the stormy music of the drum—it
breathes not of love and ladies bowers, but of san
guinary fields, where bright swords carved proud
names on the granite of eternity; and that old
tune, “ Yankee Doodle”—ah ! little did the Brit
ton think when in scorn he penned those magic
notes, that it would become a hymn of liberty, and
on every sea, and on a hundred battle fields, gar
land our flag with its immortal music.

Blood Food !
DR. BRONSON, having been so far reduced by Consump
tion as to be considered beyond all hopes of recovery by
the most eminent of the Medical profession, and also by him
self—a regular Physician of twenty years practice—as a last
resort, conceived the idea of Analyzing the Blood, and apply
ing the suhiect of physiology to the more immediate connec
tion, and effect ot the state of the blood upon the health and
system. The result has been the production of this "BLOOD
FOOD,” from the use of which Dr. Bronson was restored to
perfect health. Within six months after its introduction, over
two thousand Consumptives were effectualtv cured by it. If
you have any complaints of a Consumptive tendency—Ccugh,
Cold, Head-Ache, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss ot Appetite,
or Pain in the Side—lose no time in procuring a bottle of the
“BLOOD FOOD.” If you are suffering from Nervous De
bility, or your sleep is broken and d'sturbed—if your splri s
are depressed, or your organs relaxed, you will find in this an
unfailing remedy, by commencing with ten drops. If your
Liver is torpid, or diseased in any manner whatever, one or
two bottles will be sure to invigorate, and bring it into lively
and healthful action. In the most inveterate eases of Dyspep.
sia, the patient c .n here find -the most efficient and grateful
relief. A benefit is always experienced after taking only one
bottle. In Male and Female Complaints, and Weaknesses,
the sufferer, after trying other remedies in vain, may rest as
sured that, a certain cure will result from the use of two or
three bottles. The “BLOOD FOOD” is effectual in all cases
of Eruptions, Salt Rheum, Scrofulas, and other like com
plaints. Pale and emaciated Children and Adults are imme
diately benetitted by its use. It gives strength to the body,
and color and beauty to the skin. Physicians of all schools
are using it with wonderful success.
For full directions, see circulars. Price $1 per bottle.
MOTHERS, in presenting you with Dr. EATON’S IN
FANTILE CORDIAL, we desire to state its superiority over
every nostrum that nurse or quack has heretofore offered
you.
First—lt is the preparation of a regular Physician, who is
well qualified, from much experience in Infantile Complaints,
to prescribe for them. Secondly—lt is entirely tree from
paregoric, or opiate of any kind, and consequently relieves by
rente vi tig the suffering of your child, instead of deadening its
sensibilities. Thirdly—lt is put up with great care, as a com;
parison of it with any other article for Infantile Complaints
will show; the very roots from which it Is distilled being dug
from the forests under the direction of Dr. Eaton—many of
them by his o'vn hands. Four.bly—lt is perfectly harmless,
and cannot injure the most, delicate infant, and is a certain
cure and relief in all the following cases, which is its chef
merit over every other preparation, viz :
For all complaints attending Teething, such as Dysentery,
Cholic, Ac ; also, for Softening the Gums and relieving pain.
For regulating the Bowels, it is unequalled. For Cold iu the
Head, it is a sure relief. For Croup, the most fatal and trying
of diseases, it can be relied on with perfect confidence; and,
being a powerful anti-spasmodic In all cases of Convulsions,
or Fits, we earnestly recommend you to lose no time in pro.
curing it. Last ly—lt costs so much more than other prepara
tions of the k nd, that we cannot afford such long advertise
ments as can those whose whole expense is their advertising ;
for the same reaso- . it commends itself as the most reliable
to all mothers. In all cases, the directions wrapped around
each bottle, must be strictly followed. Price 25 Cents per
bottle. Sold by CHURCH A DU PONT, Druggists,
No. 36 Maiden Lane, New York,
And by all respectable Druggists throughout the country.

DALYS
AROMATIC VALLEY .
WHISKY,
FOR
MEDICINAL USE,
HAS now taken that position, in the world’s estimation.
which justifies its Proprietor in claiming for it
A SUPERIORITY UNRIVALLED;
produced, as it is, by a process known only to the Manufactur
er, and extracted trom the choicest Grain, which grows no
where but in a favored locality in the Valley of the Mononga
hela, and containing no particle of deleterious admixture It
has acquired a reputation for perfect Purity and intri sic ex
cellence, based solely upon its inh. rent merits, which the Pro
prietor does not Intend, so long as he controls the manufac
ture, shall-ever be forfeited, or in any manner allowed to Im
peach the correctness of the statements of the learned and
DISTINGUISHED CHEMISTS,
whose certificates we publish herewith,
tisement t sf e retotore refrained from making public, by adver-
EXTRAORDINARY MEDICINAL PROPERTIES
which this article is known to possess : and this silence on his
part has been induced by a sensitive dread that the slightest
suspicion should connect his name with advertising empyri
cisin, and the nauseous jargon of Quack-nostrum circulars
But, .or some time past, the Proprietor has been in the con
stant receipt of unsolicited Testimonials from all parts of th»
country,-emanating from
PHYSICIANS OF THE HIGHEST REPUTATION,
and testimonials which speak with such emphatic and un
qualified approval of the unrivalled qualltiesof the
AROMATIO VALLEY WHISKY
AS A
MEDICINAL AGENT,
in all cases in which artificial stimulation has become requisite •
—in or; er to restore, repair, or assist the functions and ener
gies of nature—that he deems it his duty, even at the hazard
us w ich he has spoken, to make known to the world in the
mod public manner possible, these extraordinary and invalu
able properties of this article, of his manufacture.
It is not his purpose to recite. In detail, a list of those dis
eases of the human system which have been known to be
most favorably affected by the use of this stimulant Ttey
are particularly described in the various Testimonials spokea
ot, which are open at all times to tne Inspection of our friends
but which we do not feel at 11 berty, without special permis.
slon of the distinguished persons who have sent them to us te
parade in the public newspapers.
Suffice it to say, that the diseases alluded to, comprise all
such as are incident to
TROPICAL LATITUDES, TO A CHANGE OF CLIMATE
OR DIET ;
or to any other cause whieh disarranges, or impairs, the oper
ant functions of the human system ; inducing langor lassi
tude, and depression, and the multitudinous Ills flowing from
this source.
In all such cases, the Aeomatio Valley Wui.se t
ACTS AS A RESTORATIVE,
assisting the natural organs by a stimulant which, both in char -
acter and degree, seems to be in all things most admirably fit
ted to reinvigorate, and to call back that, tone and force of ac
tion In the vital organs, so essential to physical health.
It is to this extent that the Proprietor knows himself to ba
justified in claiming for his manufacture Hygienic properties
and virtues which cannot be over stated, nor over-valued lti
universal use by the
MEDICAL PROFESSION,
is most urgently recommended. Already has it found its wav
into the principal Public and Frivate Hospitals in tbe country ;
and wnerever it has been once used, it forthwith becomes a
