B AIL Y C O\ST IT If TIONILIST PUBLISHED IJY j GATtDNER, HENRY CLEYELA.ND -Editor. AXJ GrU ST A, CX A. TUESDAY MOSSING, DEC- 4, 1860. OOV BEOWN S VETO OF THE BANK BILL- Ex*ct TiVM Lkpakthunt, i Miu.KiKiitvu.Lß, Oi-i Nuv- 30*b, I>6o. S To the SenaU : The bill entitled “An Act to grant relief to the bank and people of this Sute, and to repeal cer un clauses o't.heaU entitled an act to provide KHiinst the forfeiture ot the several bank char ters"in this State, on account of .he non-spec.e pavmen , for a K in time, and for other purpo- KpLsed in the rear 1557; and to suspend the pains and penalties imposed upon several banks and their officers, in tins State,.for the non-payment „f specie and for other purposes is herewith returned without approval; lor the general rta sons against legalising bank suspension contain ed ,n my message to ‘bt Senate accompanying the return of a similar bill, on the J2d day of December 1*57. As the reasons given in that message against the justice and policy of such a law lit* the one proposed by thts bill, are fresh in the minds of the people of this bilate, 1 do not d-en. it necessary to repeat them here in dete . They have been the subject of much discussion, and’ have been sanctioned and sustained by he people, at the ballot box. U may be claimed that iha circumstances are d.tTereut From those which existed in December, 18/7. At tlie time of the passage ot that act of 1357, the banks of mostof the States in this Union, bad suspended. The banks of the State of Lmh.ana formed an excep tion. In that State the charters of the banks were forfeited, if they suspended specie-payment; and the Constitution of the State prohibited the legislature Irorn passing any law to the suspension. The consequence was, that the banks ot that State, ueither suspended specie-payment, nor did they suspend business. They made a small sacrifice, and purchased alt the specie needed to meet their obligations, and to furnish the accommodations demanded for tiie purpose of carving tho crops to market; while the banks in most of the other States suspended, rather than make the sacnGcc. The argument in 1>57 was, that the banks in the great commercial cities North, had suspende*!, and that it therefore necessary for our banks to suspend, in self de fence. Such is not the case at present; nor is then.’ a kreiikTul suspension in the southern • If then, the circumstances are now differen. from those which existed in ’.557, that difference is very unfavorable to the present application of the hanks. . In 1867, as uow, our legislators wore told, that the suspension must he legalised, tor the benefit not of the banks-but of the people. It was said that the banks wouid discount, liberally, so soon ms the suspension Pill should become a law, and that they would at once relieve the people. We a. I remember the result, loatc&tiot h ally with tew excepted cases, they refused to dis count at all; and property was greatly depreciated in value. In a few days after the passage of that act, exchange rose to three per cent - so that every merchant wishing to send money North, to pay debts, must pay three dollars out of every one hundred, for exchange. The batiks may not have sold exciiange at those rates when their own bills were presented in payment for the exchange. That act as well as the present, contained a clause which prohibited the banks from selling exchange ut a greater rate than oue per cent , when their own Pills were presented in payment for the ex change If, therefore, a citizen of this State pre Rented to a bank its own bills for the purchase ol exciiange, it was easv m reply, that the bank hail no exchange lor sale ; but that the broker, near ot, • bad If the bills of another bank were presented | in payment, the statute did not forbid the receipt of the three per cent.; and possibly, the hank had exchange for sale. Why prohibit the bank from taking more than one per cent, exchange only when its own bills are presented in payment? Whv not sav that it shall, in no case, take more than one per cent, for exchange, ii it is not intend ed so to word the statute as to enable the banks ■ to evade it at pleasure? It is admitted at present by the advocates of this bill, that the banks are able to meet their liabili ties, in gold and silver, and that an abundant sup ply of specie can be purchased in the market, at a premium of onlv one-fourth of one per cent, lhc banks have had the advantages of prosperous times, which have enabled them to realise large profits, declare good dividends among their stock- j holders, and pay good salaries to their officers. It , is now necessary tor them to pay a small premium for specie, with which they can afford all the fa cilities necessary to carry the crops to market, and ; relieve the people. This they refuse to do, be cause it would diminish their profits for a short time. They prefer to dictate terms of suspension. | While their bill is pending before the General As sembly, in order to*produce a panic and alarm the j people and their representatives, strong as the banks are said to be, they refuse to discount a dol .. oani.ol,***.",‘ ; — • Du*ineSS, when their vaults are admitted to he wen u.ied j with specie, and when a srtiatl sacrifice would keep up the supply. In consideration of the advantages which their charters afford them over the people in times of prosperity, is it not their duty to make a small sacrifice, if necessary, for the benefit of of the peo ple, in times of adversity? The suspension of specie payments bv the banks, is not for the benefit of the banks, but for the benefit of the people. The constant efforts • made bv bank men to practice upon popular cre dulitv, by the declaration of this strange absurdi- j ditv, are not a Itttle remarkable. If this be true, why is it, when such a measure is to be carried, that our lobbies are crowded with bank presidents, bank directors, and bank stock- i holders, who are constantly besieging the mem bers of the Genera! Assemely with clamorous ap peals for the passage of the bill, while the banks with which they are connected co-operate with them for the purpose of keeping up the excitement, ! by refusing to extend the smallest accommoda ti'on to the people, till the bill is passed? Why is it that these gentlemen never take upon them- ! serves to guard the people’s interest and spend money to secure the passage of bills lb’ ough the j Legislature, except when itts desirable to pass a bank suspension bill? This is not the first time j 1 have seen all their influence brought to bear upon the Legislature, for the purpose of accorn- 1 plishing an object m the midst of wild excitement . and great alarm. The small number of members 1 of the present Geueral Assembly, who were hero in 1*57. and voted for the batik bill of that year, j will, 1 think, concur with me in the statement, that the excitement at the Capital tu 1857, was much greater than the advocates ot the present bill have been able to create on this occasion. The people then did not appreciate the favor confer red on them, bv the passage of the law If the planters, mechanics, ami oilier laboring classes of our people, desire the banks to suspend, and to pay them for their produce and labor, in bills which they will not redeem in specie, and with which our merchants wili not be able to put - , chase exchange without paying a heavy premium, j whv have thev not sent delegates to demand the passage of this act, and to ask the Legislature to • Mve them suspended bank notes, as a currency, in . place of gold or silver, or the bills of specie pay ing banks ? The reason is obvious. The great mass of the people have not seen the necessity fo{ the passage of any such law ; and do not desire j it. They tiavc no speculation to make out of it ; nor are tbev to be Denefitted by it. But we are told that a suspensiou of specie payment by the banks will make money plenty. Jb'w can this be the case ? Will the suspension produce a blade of grass ? or an ear of corn ? or a boll of cotton ? or a dollar in gold or silver ? or in any other way ■add to the material wealth of the State ? No. . But it is said the banks will issue more bills or notes, and give those bills or notes to the planter, for Ins cotton. What benefit will result irom this* Will thev then give him gold or silver for the bills’ No. Thev are not willing t-> redeem those already issued, with gold and silver. The plain truth is, then, that the banks want to purchase, with their bills, the planter’s cotton and other produce, for which they can get gold ; and they want the au thority of the Legislature for refusing to redeem the bills given for it with the gold. But it is said . the cotton crop cannot be carried to market, if the | banks are not permitted to buy it, or to enable ! brokers, or cotton buyers under their control, to ! bnv it, with suspended batik biils. Tli? present cotton crop is ad muted to be a short one. The manufacturers of the world are obliged to bare it; ami if every bank in Georgia were blot ted out of existence, the cotton would still go to market; and in ninety davs the planters would get gold for it, if thev refused to take the bills of sus pended banks. which are always at a heavy dis count. Since 1357. the banks have growu more imperious. Ther then demauded relief from the suspension already made. They now demand le gal authority in advance for their intended viola tion of their promises, aud relief from all the pains and penalties prescribed by law against their bad faith. Tbe second section of the act of 1857, as a pen alty for the suspension and the refusal of a bank to redeem its bills in specie, gave the bill holder who might bring suit upou the bills of the bank, ten percent, damages, in addition to tbe princtpal and interest due him from the bank ; and provid ed that the collection, when made under execution, ! should be in gold or silver. Tbe act of 17th De cember lS5y, increased this penalty to twenty-five I per cent If a bank suspended and refused to redeem its ’ bills in specie, and the bill holder was obliged to i have the bills protested, and to pay lawyers's fees, ; to have suit brought upon them, the damages al lowed as a penalty, by those statutes, to the bill holder, amounted to “some compensation; and would at least pay the attorneys’ fees, and save him from the loss ol part of the debt due him ! bv the bank. The act now uuder considera tion denies to tbe bill holder even this poor com pensation. It enacts that “all and every, the j pains and penalties, heretofore imposed upon the j several banks and their officers, in sa’i State, by anv previous legislation ot the General As-emoiy | of the same, for failure or refusal of said banks, - or their branches, to redeem their liabilities in gold and stiver, when presented, according to tbeir several cnarters, are hereby suspended, until tbe first of December, 1~61. The frieuds of the banks tell us that they are strong ; that thev have plenty ot specie, and can purchase additional supplies, if needed, for a very • small premium. This bill, if it becomes a law, au thorises them to suspend, and refuse either to pay tiieir notes with the specie now in their vaults, or to purchase more lor that purpose. One of our citizens in the country, has one hundred dollars of the bills of one of the banks, and wishes the specie for them. He presents them at the counter of the bank, and makes the demand. The cashier informs him that the bank has gold plenty, but that it does not wish to pay it out according to. promise ; or, that it wishes to speculate upon the gold, by sending it out of the State, to buy up the notes of our merchants or others. He insists that he needs the gold, as he cannot use the suspended bank bills without sustaining a loss upon them, aud reminds the cashier ot the promise of the bank to pay spreie. The cashier replies; “Yonr Legislature has authorised us to violate our prom ise. It is true, we issue three, and often five del - lars, in notes, for every one dollar in specie, in our vaults; and we get interest from the people on all these uotes, while we pay no interest to our bill holders ; but we do not choose to pay the prin cipal ; we prefer to speculate upon our money.” The bill holder, probably, then desires to put ibe claim in a condition that he may at least get in terest on his bills. He has them protested, and brings suit against the bank. For this purpose, be must pav an at torney’s fee out of trie amount due him from the bank. The act of 1*57, in such case, gave him ten percent, damages against the bank, to secure bina against this loss. Tiie bill now before uie, if it becomes a law, relieves tbe bank from this and all other penalties incurred by its violation of promise, Bad leaves the bill holder io suffer the loss. Is this justice? Is it the relief which tbe people demand from their representatives? It is not very difficult to understand why bank officers hang round the Legislature, for the purpose of producing a panic, and affording this kiud ot re lief to the people. It may be claimed that the present political as pect of affairs requires ihe legislation proposed by this bill. In case the convention of the people of this Slate, when it meets iu January next, shall pass an ordinance declaring the State out of the Union, on account of the refusal of the northern States to abide by the Constitution, it tnay become proper to make an exception to a general rule, and permit a suspension, for a short time, as a change in the relations of Georgia to tbe United States Government, might, for a time, produce some derangement in the currency, which could not be anticipated by the banks ; and they might, in such case, be entitled to a lenity to which they would not be entitled under ordinary circum stances. Ido not admit, however, that it is either wise or just to pass an act in advance which au thorise* the suspension till December. 1501, with out regard to wliat mv be I lie action of tiie con vention. If the State secedes from the Union, the Legislature will, probably, have to be again con vened, to provide for our future safety and wel fare ; and it might then bo time enough to deter mine this question. The act of 1840 makes it the duty of the Gover nor, m case any bank suspends specie payment, to cause judicial proceedings to be instituted forth with, for the forfeiture of its charter. It might not have been unwise to have passed an act to change this statute, so that it would not be the imperative duty of the Governor to proceed forth with, against the charters of such banks as might, for a time, suspend, if such change in circumstances shall occur as warrants the suspension; leav ing it in tiie discretion of tbe Governor, or of some other power in the Government, to order proceed ings against such suspended banks, or not, as the exigencies of the case might require. This, in my opinion, is the greatest extent to which the Legis lature should go. Should the State fail to secede from the Union immediately, or in case of secession should confi dence be restored in a verv short time, (which i think would be the case,) 1 can see no just reason whv the people should remain at 1 lie mercy of the I banks, or the country be cursed with an irredeem lable paper currency, until the first day of Decem ber, 18*51, without any power in the Executive, or auv other branch of the Government, to relieve I the people by compelling the banks to redeem ; tiieir promises, and pay their debts, or bare their ! charters forfeited. It’this bill becomes a law. property of every character will, in my opinion, ! so soon as the banks suspend, be greatly deprecia ; led in value. Our merchants will have to pay. much higher than they now do, for exchange ; and a greater pressure will ensue, which will greatly injure the whole people of the South. But we may be told that the people are fully compensated ior the injustice done them in other parts of the bill, by the provisions contained in the j fourth section, which also relieves the people from I all obligations to pay their debts, till tiie first of December, 1861. That section is in these words; “That in the event of suspension of specie pay ment, by any of the banks of Savannah, Augusta, and Atlanta, in this State, which shall be made known by proclamation of the Governor, it shall not be lawful for any plaintiff in Ji fa., his agent or attorney, to have the same levied upon the pro perty of any inhabitant, or corporation of this ’ State, until the first of December, 1861 ; neither ! shall any of the property of any such inhabitant or corporation, be sold under and by virtue of any j such, n fa., order, or decree ; nor shall any person : be arrested or imprisoned under and by virtue of ; any proceeding under writs of ca si., until the first j of December, 1861; except in cases where the ■ plaintiff', his agent, or attorney, shall make affida ! vit that the defendant is removing, or about |to remove without the limits of this State, j or any county thereof;@or is removing, or l about to remove his property beyond the limits of ’ the defendant may stay such levy, or sale, arrest or imprisonment, until tbe Ist of December, IS6I, hr giving good aud sufficient security, in the Clerk’s office, or Justice’s office, from whence said ji. fa. or ca. sa., issued as in other cases of stay of execution, for the payment of the debt and costs, at the expiration of said stay, or for his appear ance to render satisfaction under such arrest, at the first term of the court happening after said Ist Dec., 1861, as in cases of arrest under ca. sa., by the j existing laws ; and in ail cases where property is j now levied on and in Ihe hands of the levv | tng officer, the defendant may replevy the same by giving bond and security, either for the forth coming of the property, or the payment of the | debts and costs, on the Ist day of December, 1861, ! or the first regular sale day thereafter ; provided, ! that this section shall not be so construed as to ap ply to any tax ft. fa. issued or to be issued ; and provided further, that the statutes of limitation , shall cease to run against any debt during the \ suspension of said batiks.” By a careful reading of this section, it will be j seen that, in the event any of the banks of Ba vannah, Augusta or Atlanta—no matter which 1 one, near whether it is solvent or insolveut—sus | pends, all collections of debts by the laws of this i State, are to cease till the first of December, 1861. | If the present distiust should pass away itmnedt- I ately, and full prosperity should be restored and an;/ one of tbe banks ,of either of said cities i should break, or for any other reason, suspend ! specie’payment for a single day, this act on that account, suspends the collection of debts all over ! Georgia, till first December, 1361. The bill even proposes to signalise the event of the suspension of any of the banks of either of said cities, by making it the duty of tbe Governor of this State to make known the fact by proclamation. My observation has been, that the bill holders who suffer by tbe bad faith of a bank which breaks or suspends, usually learn the fact very soon, with out the necessity of dignifying the event by a proclamation from the Executive ot tht State. It will be further observed that this section stays all executions between plaintiff’s and defend ants, tu the manner above mentioned, without re quiring any security on stay of execution, lor the ttual payment of the debt, except in cases where the plaintiff, his agent, or attorney, will swear that the defendant is removing, or about to remove himself or his property, without the limits of this State, or any cotmty thereof. Under this statute, if it becomes a law, a defendant in Jr. fa., may sell and transfer all his property to a third person; and such third person may remove it all without the limits of this State before tiie first day of Decem ber, 1861, and the plaintiff must lose his debt. He may see Such third person, who purchased of the defendant, carrying the property out of the State, and his judgment may be for tbe purchase money of the very property which is being carried out of the State, but his hands are tied by law, and he has no remedy, because the defendant is not himself removing nor carrying his property out of the State. lie cannot, therefore, be compelled to give security for the forthcoming of the property, or payment of the debt, at the end of the stay; nor can the plaintiff stop the removal of the property, to the hands of the third person who purchased from tbe defendant. This is not only gross in justice to plaintiffs in Ji. fa., but it holds out strong inducements to defendants to perpetrate enor mous frauds under cover of legal authority. Sli.mld this bill become a law, it will also do great injustice to creditors, who are citizens of Georgia; by giving to northern creditors, and all others living out of this State, a preference over our own citizens, in the collection of their claims. I Citizens of other States, holding claims against . merchants or other persons, in this State, when the claim exceeds live huudeed dollars, or when i it is fora less sum, by alleging that it exceeds i five hundred dollars, aud paying cost if it turns i out, on the trial, that ihe recovery is for a less sum, may sue and obtain judgment at the first term ot the United Slates District court, m all cases where no defence exists against the claim; and may proceed forthwith to collect the money, j bv due process of that court; while a citizen of this State, who is a creditor of the same debtors who has sued and obtained judgment in the court of this State.and who has the oldest judgment, is , not permitted to levy his rs fa, bnt must stand by audsee the northern merchants sell, possibly, the i whole property of the defendant, and receive the : full amount of bis claim, and carry the money out of the State, while our own citizens is left without remedy. JJAgain, our merchants are generally indebted to ! northern merchants; and cannot pay, unless they : are permitted to collect from those who are in : debted to them. Under the proposed law, the ■ northern merchant can still sue our merchants in : United States’ courts, and obtain judgment and execution, and sell tbeir property; while our tner ’ chaDts, who are citizens of this Slate, cannot sue 1 their debt, rs who are also citizens of this State, 1 in the United States’ courts ; but must sue in the courts of Georgia. VVheu they have obtained their executions in our State courts, this bill, if it be- I eoraes a law, prohibits them from levying on the 1 property of defendants, till first December, lr6l. The northern merchants mav, therefore, rum our merchants, by selling tbeir property tn the midst i ot a bank suspension, when everything is down at : the lowest figure; while our merchants are uot 1 permitted, by our own laws, to collect a dollar, ■ with which to meet their indebtedness aud save ! their property from sale, is this justice to our , ovn citizens? Is this what is meant by resistance to northern aggression ? Paastb is law, and it cannot be doubted, that the ensuing year will be distinguished att one of an unusual: imount of litigation. Creditors desirous of maki ag collections, know that they cannot levy and collect by law till first December, 1561, will dean - e to put their claims in a condition to enforce • collections by law, as soon as possible, after tba t time. They will, therefore, in nearly all cases, put their claims in suit, so as to obtain judgmen ts as soon as tbe law will permit. I am o f opinion that a relief bill could scarcely have bet n framed in a more objectionable shape, or have contained provisions which, in their prac tical op orations, would produce more hardship and gro s injustice, than the bill herewith return ed. Alt .ch as I regret, at all times, to differ from tbe Gen eral Assembly, and more especially on a questic a of so much importance, a sense of duty compel s me to withhold my sanction from this measure, in its present shape ; and, in tbe name of thos.e who must suffer by it, to protest against its passage. Joseph E. Baowii. the Columbia (s’. C.) Southern Guardian. AN APPEAL TO THE SOUTH- The southern States should leave the Union now, because the time is propitious to the movement, and tbe separation at no far distant day is inevi table. * I do not believe that there exists on the face of the earth two nations who more cordially detest each other than the tlaveholding aud non-slave holdtng States of this Republic. It was bad enough before Lincoln’s election ; it is fen times worse, if possible, now. It takes a long, long time to cool international hatred, even when the causes have ceased, and mutual interests have shed their cool ing influences upon it. With the people of the North, it has maddened legislation, poisoned the fountains of justice, eclipsed reason, blinded judg ment, benumbed sensibility, subdued delicacy, banished courtesy, deadened humanity, leveled distinctions, neutralised oaths, justified extortion, whitewashed bribery, honored theft, sanctioned butchery, profaned pulpits, desecrated churches, and iu divers respects set in defiance all the laws of God and man. Is not this true? Look at their misnamed “personal libertv acts.” They alone veri fy much that I have said. Their title is a falsehood. They imply a breach of oath and Constitution in all who”enacted them. They harbor runaways. They shuck justice and the moral sense. They (some of them) make it criminal in witnesses to speak the truth. They make it shockingly criminal for a white man to claim his rights, and for no other offense they cast him into prison from two months to fifteen years. That is personal liberty, is it? And moreover, they impose a line on him of from one to hve thousand dollars. Name the offense, not capital, so sorely visited, as that of a man’s saying “thisis my negro, and I claim him.” May God deliver me Irom all connection with a batch of judicial monsters who can thus legislate. Look at their tariff Look how their courts decide all questions wherein the mastei’s and the slave’s in terest are brought in issue. See their versions of the Constitution, of theiroatbs, of the Bible. Look to Mattison and his confreres in Congress. Hear their glorying in man-stealing. See their mobs, their raids, tiieir murders, their house burning. Mark Montgomery, fresh from Boston, the second Brown. See tiieir many gatherings in that. city. High, low, white, black, male, female—all on a level, all tongue-clattering, all furious. See tbe conventicle of preachers, professors, students, women aud children, in tiie North Church, of New Haven, subscribing lor Sharpe’s rifles. See gen teel ladies in common plot with dirty uegroes; nay united with them in connubial bands. Listen to tiieir insults, their sarcasms, tiieir dares. What mean these bedlam scenes? Why, per■> sons a thousand miles from these people own slaves, ami they wisli them set free. It will cost the owners two bilion four hundred million dol lars to set them free. No matter, they must be set free, or men will turn demons and women fu ries. But orphan children own a half million ot them, and these cannot be set free. No matter, they must be set free in some way. But the poor own a few. No matter, they must be set free. Bui many poor own noue. No matter, they live among those who do own them, and they must be burnt out and poisoned with the rest. Does his tory or romance furnish any parallel to this? Such are the people on the one side; ou the other, there is no retaliatory legislation, no bending of justice. A little while ago, a clever estate in South Caro lina was decreed to free negroes in Ohio. Negroes claimed as slaves are often set free by our courts. The northern mau and the southern oiati has equal justice. A mau comas reeking from the land of mobs and violence, to the land of the mobbed, sues in our courts for bis Just debts and recovers none inquiring whence he came or what his creed. No mobs here, no bribery, no contempt of law, no twisting of oaths. They are taxed to en rich their enemies; they complain, aud they are called blusterers. They are robbed of two million four huudred thousand dollars worth of property, of their Constitutional rights, of their Territorial privileges. They threaten to dissolve the Union, and this is called bullying. They yield much and endure long for the sake of the Union, and this is called cowardice. But enough of this. llow long can such people live together under one Government? How much more intolerant must the oue become, before the patience of the other will wear out? You have just reached tha point when you are as much despised for your spirit as you are for yonr property. They see that neither taxation, robbery, nor invasion, can rouse you to resistance, and they have begun to shake ‘the lash over you, dare you to fulfil your threats, and tell vou that vou shall “eat dirt.” Your nt tachn>*“* ssuma t know is *erv strong; but the world does not know it ; and it will write you down as the most arrant cowards that ever dis graced the earth if you do notgo out of the Union, or declare war against your oppressors. You must rise and vindicate your honor and your rights be fore long ; and why wait until you cau endure no longer? Asa South Carolinian, I should vote against having any fellowship with you, if, after having stood by and seen her fight your battles, you come, with the dirt of Yankee heels upon your necks, to link your desliny with hers. I should be jealous of that more than connubial love of yours, and fearful that if your task masters should throw vou a pet word, aud a crum of comfort, your first love would revive in all its long cherished ardor, and you would desert the Palmetto Confederacy for the glorious Union. Come now, and she will receive you with open arms, and thank you for your countenance. A. B. Loxßstreet. FUNERAL NOTICE. fV Thr Friends and Acquaintance* of Mr*. Win. H.

Headache maj be classified under two names, viz : Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly common, and is the precursor of a great variety of diseases, amODg which are Apo plexy, Gout, Rheumatism, and all febrile diseases. In it* nervous form it is sympathetic of disease us the stomach, con stituting sick headache, of hepatic disease constituting bilious headache , of worms, constipation, and other disorders of the bowels, as well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended with Headaches ; An emia and Plethora are also affections which frequently illu sion Headache. Idiopathic Headache is alo very common, being usually distinguished by the name oJ nervous headache —sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently sound health, aud prost rating at once the mental and physical energies ; and in other instances it cornea on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits, or ascerbity of Lemper. In most in stances, the pain is in the front of the head, over one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting. Under this clam may also be named Neuralgia. For t ic treatment of either class of Headache, the Cephalic Fills have been found a sure and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few minutej, and by its subtle power era iica ting the diseases of which HeAd&che is the unesring In dex. Briixjw.— Missus wants you to send her a box of Cephalic Glue ; no, a bottle of Prepared Fills. But I’m thinking that’s not just it naither ; but perhaps ye’ll be afthor knowing what i! is.

Of ten originating In carelessness, or sedentary habits, it is re. gardid as a slig it disorder of too little consequence to excite anxiety, while, in reality, it lathe precursor and companion of many of the most fatal and dangerous diseases, aud unless early eradicated, it will bring the sufferer to an untimely graw, Among the lighter evils of which Costivenes# is the uHial attendant are, Headache, Colic, Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Files, and others of like nature, while a long train of frightful diseases, such us Malignant Fevers, Aboesees. Dy sentery, Diarrhoea, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paraly sis, Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, Melaucholly, and In sanity,‘first indicate their presence In the system by this alarming symp tom. Not unfrequently the diseases named originate In Con stipation, but take on an Independent existence, unless the cause is eradicated in an early stage. gfFrom all these consid erations, it follows that the disorder should receive immediate attention wheueverit occurs, and no person should ucglect to get a box of Cephalic Fills on the first appearance of the com plaint, as their timely use will expel the insi loua approaches of disease, and destroy this dangerous foe to human lift*.
