CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AUGUSTA. <3-A,
TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 24,1866.
. THE ~
District conventions have been called in the
various congressional districts of this State, as
follows:
In the let District, at Blackshear, Pierce county, ° n
27th July.
In the 2d District, at Americas, Ist August.
In the SdVDistrict, at LaGrange, on the Ist of Au
gust.
In the 4th District, at Macon, on the 25th of July.
In the sth District, at Augusta, on the 28th of July.
In the Oth District at GaiDesville, Hall county, on the
24th July.
In the 7th District, at Atlanta, on the 28th of July •
The object of these conventions is declared
to be the selection of delegates—four from each
congressional district—to represent the People
of the State of Georgia in the Philadelphia
Convention. Besides the twenty-eight district
delegates to be chosen, there are four delegates
from the State at large to be selected. So far
no uniform plan for choosing these latter has
been proposed—His Excellency, Governor
Jenkins, having peremptorily refused to have
anything to do with the matter —nor has any
suggestion as yet been made as to the manner
in which the Georgia delegation should enter
the Convention or, being installed therein,
make known the real position and desires of
the State. Those who favour our representa
tion in this Convention, seem to have confined
themselves exclusively to the propriety of
such representation. Let us go into it—
has been the only argument— it will doubt
less do us good —but as to how wo should
go in or what particular good is to be eith
er sought tor or expected, nothing definite,
so far as known, has, as yet, been said. Now
this, it is evident, is but a very loose way of do
ing business, and if, upon such a vague and In
determinate understanding, delegates are se
lected and sent on without any special instruc
tions, it is evident, furthermore, that each in
dividual man of the thirty-two will lie a law
unto himself in all matters coming before this
Convention that may affect the honor, peace,
dignity, and best Interests of the Peoplo of this
State of Georgia. Thirty-two men, selected
as these delegates will be, will differ more or
less widely on any given subject that may be
presented lor their consideration. They will
think diversely,speak diversely,and vote diverse
ly. fn tlie absence of auy special instructions
each delegate will adopt such course as may
seem to him best, and, ou the old proverb of
many men, many minds, it is not impossible
that this great State may be presented in the
light of speak ing with thirty-two diverse and
contradictory tongues. Each man will think
his own plan tiie best, and, in the great diversi
ty of views thus presented, it will be hard for
any one to discover what is really to be taken
as the true representative sentiment of Geor
gia. More than this, as men will speak di
versely, they will also rote diversely, and it is
not impossible that, by a contrariety of senti
ment, one-half of this delegation may, on some
test question, neutralize the other—thus rob
bing the State of any voice whatever in the mat
ter. More than this, too —if this Philadelphia
Convention should fail, and we cannot but
think that it unfortunately will—the return of
delegates who have held conflicting opinions in
Us councils, will be tiro signal of such an out
break of crimination and recrimination, ill
feeling, partizan spirit, and intestine hostility
as will bring down upon us once more
the worst curses of Faction. Each will at
tempt to throw the onus of failure on his fel
low. That onus will, in turn, be thrown back.
People will take sides, and Georgia, that in June
was all in loving accord may, by the middle of
September be rent in sunder by the war cries of
Party. To prevent, therefore, so far as may be,
the dangers thus to be apprehended, both in
thiE Convention and out of it, there will here
be presented some resolutions, based essen
tially on The Virginia Proposition, which it
is thought, if made the groundwork of action
in this regard, will do much to keep the voice
of the Slate harmonious and augment whatever
mgy be her chances of reaping any advantage
from the deliberations or action of this Phila
delphia assemblage.
In p resenting these resolutions no hesitation
whatever is felt, by The Constitutionalist.
From the first it has been opposed to this Con
vention, deeming the move premature, and
believing that, from the peculiar position of
Fed jral politics at this juncture, Southern
rept esentation therein would eventuate in
harm and not in good. To the essential idea of
this movement—that law abiding citizens olthis
c0u....y, North and South, should meet in
council to devise the restoration of a Constitu
tional Government, in these United States, —
there has never been any opposition. On the
contrary, such a proposition, made at a proper
lime, and in a straightforward, honest, non
pr.rtizan way, would have commanded our very
best support. Regarding, as said, the time as
inopportune and the manner most highly ob
cctionable and inauspicious, an opposition, to
lltcbestof our poor ability, has been made.
That opposition, on those grounds, is still felt.
Southern Representation in the Philadelphia
Convention we still deprecate, still fear, still
oppose. We do not believe that on n full dis
cussion and a fair vote tlie People of Georgia
would decide against us, but the shortness of
the time allowed us may do its work. The hope
that something may be done —the blind, unreason
ing hope—may be too strong for any consid
erations ol propriety or of prudence that the
well contrived exigency of the occasion will
nllow. By devices well known to party, it has
been made to appear that this State is almost
unanimous in favour of a representation lu this
Convention. There are, doubtless, tens of thou
sands of our people who have never even
yet had time to see the call for this
Convention, and yet in less thanasingle month,
the complete machinery for a full delegation
has been gotten ready for action. Recognizing
this licet, it is to be faced as it is found and this
is the way we face it. We oppose our repre
sentation in this Convention—we would that
our People had more time to reflect upon it, but,
setting aside this opposition and this regret, if
the State is to be put in the attitude of being
represented, we claim tor ourselves and for a
very large and respectable portion of the peo
ple of this State, whose best interests, as our
own, will be affected by such representation,
tlie right to mould it, so far as wo best may, to
our purposes, sentiments, and desires.
(biding this position we have therefore, as
said, no hesitation in bringing forward our re
solutions. In a mere party contest we would
have pocketed our discomfiture and said noth
ing, but this is a matter that affects us all, and
just here we may be allowed to say that what
ever those opposed to us may have thought of
us or of our opposition we have never ceased to
remember of them that they were our fellow
citizens and, if wide as the poles in opinion,
yet brethren at heart by every tie of a common
misfortune, a common interest, and a common
destiny.
To maintain therefore in Convention this
unity we present the second of the resolutions
above mentioned. The first is meant to meet
the case of the election of the four delegates for
the State at large ; the third is intended to avert
the perils of bumcombe oratory, and there is
not a citizen of Georgia, we trust, who will not
aay amen ! with all his heart to the last of the
series.
These resolutions, and so much of this article
as may be deemed proper, it is hoped those
papers that have heretofore stood with us will
present.to their readers. It is also trusted that
such otfter journals as may have been opposed
to us in opinion may not deem it altogether
improper to likewise republish, and present
their views thereon. By the proposed selec
tion of delegates at large a practical difficulty
will be gotten over; by the adoption of the
Unit rule, useless and dangerous discussion will
be cut off and the State stand in solid line of
battle; and by the third resolution the only
possible ground we can occupy in safety or in
honour, will be taken in the matter of Con
gressional Representation.
These are the proposed resolutions:
1. Resolved, by the People of the Con
gressional District of Georgia, in Convention
assembled, That the four delegates this day by
them selected to represent said district in the
National Union Convention, to be held on the
fourteenth day of August next, In the city of
Philadelphia, ore hereby instructed to meet in
conference with such other delegates as may be
for like purposes selected In the other Congres
sional Districts of this State, in the city of—— j
.on the vday of Avgust, of this present year,
then and there to elect, by the joint vote of
such delegations, four delegates to said Conven
tion from this State at large.
2. Resolved, That said delegates are fur
thermore instructed, in conjunction with said
other district delegates arid delegates at large,
to select some one of said delegates who shall,
in all matters coming to a vote before the afore
said Philadelphia Convention, cast the vote. of
the delegation from this State of Georgia as
an Unit ; and shall, furthermore, in matters re
quiring in that assembly an expression of opin
ion on behalf of this State, deliver said opin
ion. "S
3. Resolved, That no other -delegate shall
address the Convention upon any question be
fore it, without the consent of the delegation
previously obtained.
4. Resolved, That said delegates, in con
junction with oth'ir delegates above mentioned,
shall have drawn up, and subscribe, and, at the
proper time, present a solemn declaration that
The People of The State of Georgia claim l
Representation in the Federal Government on
the basis of the requisitions and qualifications
of the Federal CONSTITUTION ALONE, and
in repudiation of proscriptive test oaths.
As delegates would find Augusta about the
best point for assembling—lt being on the di
rect route to Philadelphia—the blank in the
first resolution might not improperly be filled
with the name of that and the Bth of
August bo about as desirablo a day as any.
Delegate a at largo might be notified of their
election, by telegraph and respond in the same
manner. The whole organization of the dele
gation c ould thus bo perfected in a day. These
suggestions of course are merely made as such,
and are doubtless susceptible of being bettered.
HOW THE THING IS WORKED.
Conventions, as is elsewhere stated in our
issue of to-day, have been called in the various
Congressional districts ot this State, for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the Philade'-
phi a Convention. These calls arc assumed to
ref .resent popular sentiment, and some of those
pa pers advocating our representation in that
divan are loud in proclaiming that the “ Peo
ple are Moving." Now, as was very well re
marked by tlie Macon Citizen, the people are
not moving at all, it is only some politicians
and editors who are “ making all the fuss." A
singular exemplification of this was presented
on Saturday last in Atlanta. Tlie Intelligencer,
of that city, is hot for this Convention and, so
far as anything to the contrary appears in its
columns, issued on its own authority its call
for a convention in the Seventh Congressional
district on the 28th inst. A coll for a county
meeting was also made, and, on the morning of
Saturday last, our esteemed cotemporary came
out with a double leaded article lrom which, as
applicable to the purpose in hand, wc subjoin
the following extracts:
<• the meeting to take place at
THE CITY HALL TO-DAY AT
13 O’CLOCK.
“ A primary meeting: ot thoso citizens of Ful
ton county who favor the appointment of dele
gates to the National Union Convention,
called to assemble in Philadelphia, on the 14th
proximo, will take place to-day, at the City
Hall, at 13 o’clock. We invoke the attendance
of all who favor this important and patriotic
movement, within the limits of our city and
county, at the appointed place and hour.
The time has coino when the people of the
Southern States have the opportunity presented
them of demonstrating to the Northern masses
their law-abiding disposition and character;
their ardent desire for constitutional govern
ment and a restoration of the Southern States
to the Union, that peace and prosperity may
again bless the now disturbed and distracted
land. In their primary county meetings, us in
the one which will assemble in this county to
day, they cannot more convincingly demon
strate this feeling, this disposition, and this de
sire, than by taking such action as will clearly
evince, their acceptance of the invitation em
braced in the call for a National Union Con
vention. * * * * *
“ The people of Fulton countt, and of the
city of Atlanta especially, whose vast com
mercial and other interests must neceasarily
suffer so long as the restoration policy of the
President remains unaccomplished, and who
favor the Convention movomc.nt, we trust, will
all assemble to-day in the City Hall, give me-'
pression to their sentiments, and return dele
gates to the District Convention. Come up,
ONE AND ALL, AND AID IN THIS IMPORTANT
work!”
Now this sort of thing one would think, if
the People were really “ moving" would be apt
to accelerate their “ motion" with a positive
velocity, but let us see how they “ moved." The
meeting was held and here is the account there
of as found in the Neto Era of the day after:
“ The proceedings of a County meeting, held
at the Court House in this city on yesterday,
for the purpose ot appointing delegates to the
Congressional Convention to select delegates
to the Philadelphia Convention, will be found
in our columns this morning. This meeting
we understand to have been not generally at
tended, there being only seventy persons pres
ent, in a city representing over sixteen thou
sand, and a county one of the largest and most
populous in the State.
And yet we know not if it was not sufficient
ly large for the accomplishment of the purpose
of the call. The majority of the people here,
as elsewhere in the State, feeling that they have
done everything in their power consistent with
a moderate degree of self-respect to satisfy the
North of the sincerity of their acceptance of
the results of the war, are indifferent to po
litical meetings looking to partisan alliances.
They are surfeited and disgusted with politics.
They are disposed to give their attention to
something else in the future. Whilst they are
all in favor of President Johnson as against the
Radicals, and would willinely aid him in carry
ing out his policy of restoration, they feel that
political meetings and demonstrations on their
part, with a view to participation in the shaping
and directing political parties, can result in no
good.”
The “ proceedings ” ’ here referred to we have
seen and find the following to be about their
sum total. Twenty-three gentlemen, whose
names are mentioned, took prominent part.
Ev-Gov. Brown was chairman, and that’s one.
Then one Secretary, thirteen committeemen,
and six speakers make up twenty-one. Two
gentlemen who begged to be “ excused from
speaking”—wouldn’t "orate" In fact—com
plete the twenty-three. Our brother of the
Intelligencer , which paper made the district,
and for all we know, the Fulton county call,
was one of these latter, but wag, with two other
gentlemen, delegated to the District Conven
tion. Now, taking out orators and officers
the People “ moved" in this meeting just forty'
sceen—rather a slim show, ns our brother of
the Era lias it, in a city of over sixteen thousand
inhabitants , and in one of the largest counties
in the State. And yet these gentlemen will
claim to represent that city and county in a
district convention, where, doubtless, the same
attenuated attendance will be visiblo in pro
portion. Come, now, gentlemen, is this exactly
the right kind of thing? If you will go to
Philadelphia and say yon represent a very
small minority of your people, well and good,
it is your clear right to do so ; but will you
claim, on any such a showing as this, to represent
the wishes of thousands, and will you, can yon,
have the heart to affect by your action there
the interests of all those thousands who have
given you no warrant to speak or act in their
behalf? *
We said the othor day that we had seen the
wires worked many a time, and knew how
these things were done, and is it not as we
stated? Somebody issues a call—Somebody
makes a speech—and Somebody goes as a dele
gate. If this kind of “ moving ” of the People
is to prevail, it is doing on a small scale what
the Radicals want to do on a large. Certain
gentlemen in Georgia could not get a corporal’s
guard of voters, and yet Thad Stevens is
willing they should represent ns. And just so
in a county of perhaps twenty thousand in
habitants a little gathering ot seventy persons
is to fix up a representation. The call was for
all who favour the Convention, and throe score
and ten got together. Now this is all right—
emphatically so—we will stand np to the last
for the right of any and all of onr fellow citi
zens to peaceably assemble, and speak and
resolve, and send delegates whithersoever they
will, but we are, heart and soul, against any
attempt of a ratio of one in two hundred and
eighty claiming to represent the People of
this State. Hold your meetings, gentleman,
and elect your delegates, but let them Only
assume to represent those who send ’em.
And now let ub see how the People elsewhere
arc "moving." All the districts are to have
conventions. Who calls them ? In the First
was it. not the Savannah News % Herald; in the
Third, the LaGrange Reporter; in the Fourth,
the Macon Telegraph; and in tye Fifth, the Au
gusta Chronicle $ Sentinel ? If wrong we will
cheerfully make correction. And how are these
calls worded ? Is it not "*ll in favour of send
ing delegates, so and
short aa the time is, is that the way to get at
the real sentiment of the People ? Why did
they not read—“ the People of such and such a
county or district (as the caae may be) are in.
vited to assemble to take into consideration
what actioh they will take on the subject of
sending delegates.” Then everybody could
come in and the sense of such meetings could
have been readily had by a vote. But no,
that would not do—the thing must be made a
party thing—the wires must be pulled—the
dead lights put up—and the primary and gen
eral assemblies constructed after the fashion
of a close communion love feast. If all this
was only to affect its neophytes and hiero
phants, if the editors, and politicians, and the
committeemen, and the delegates, and the gen
tlemen who “ orate ” so well, and have their
names the next day in the papers, were only
concerned, we would not have a word to say;
but the rub is that they want to represent us
as well as themselves, and want to take our
welfare into hand before we have given them
any right whatever to meddle with our affairs.
We have heard of a dance called the Tarantula,
in foreign parts, that sets those who hear it
mad, and this cuckoo cry of Convention seems
to be playing the same office for some of the
weaker brethren. Oue can support Andrew
Johnson, and love the Federal Constitution
and abide by the Laws thereunder made, with
out going up to this Philadelphia synagogue
to be snubbed by converted Philistines
and time-serving Gallios. One may not
love C-msar and yet be no enemy
to Rome. And that is just where we are. We
are against this particular Convention at this
particular time, from beginning to end, inside
and out, topside and bottom. We would like
to keep our People out. And if they will go
in, we will try to warn them against its dangers
as well as we may. And' then, if that fails too,
and they will go anyway, why we’ll do what
Alexander H. Stephens did—we’ll go it blind
for Georgia, right or wrong.
But till we know that to be the voice of the
People—till we have better arguments adduced
than seventy of our fellow citizens out of every
sixteen thousand —put us down as dead against
this Philadelphia Convention with its backing
and filling about “ loyalty ” and its glozy, supple,
doughface talk of “ doing something" for us
if we are good little boys and keep our faces
clean. Out upon it. What can it do for us.
We have letters in our possession which justi
fy us in saying that the lions of Northern De
mocracy—the straight out, anti-war,’copperhead
Democracy, the only real friends we ever had
there—have no idea of giving up their identity
by a fusion with this sway-backed bantling.
And if they bolt the Convention where oh !
where, will the poor, despised, abused, insulted
“ Rebels” be ?
GOVERNOR JENKINS' LETTER.
In publishing a day or so since the late letter
of Ilis Excellency, Gov. Jenkins, refusing to
appoint delegates for the State at large, the re
marks immediately prefatory thereto should
have been credited to the Macon Telegraph, the
editor of which paper it was, we believe, who de
sired His Excellency to make the appointments
named. The letter itself is deemed of sufficient
importance to republish, and is therefore sub
joined. So far as it gives any clue to Governor
Jenkins’ position it seems to argue that he
does not regard this Philadelphia Convention
with that extreme degree of favour wherewith
some would have us receive it. Here is the
letter:
Milledoeville, 18th July, 1865.
Editor Macon Telegraph :
Sir : I have your letter of the 17th. I have,
from the first, disapproved of the suggestion of
some of your cotemporarics, that I should ap
point delegates to the Philadelphia Convention.
It has no connection with the duties of my
office. lam not here for that purpose. With
out a clear demonstration that a large majority
of Georgia desired it —(which cannot be given
in time) —it would be arrogant assumption on
my part. Under any circumstances, it woidcl
be inappropriate and distasteful to me. I have
said nothing, because I perceived that the peo
ple were very properly taking this affair of their
own into their own hands, by moving lor the
holding of district conventions. If they desire
to be represented in that Convention, this is the
proper plan.
I speak out now, only because I see the prop
position seriously made that the District Con
ventions, by resolution, devolve upon me the
duty of appointing the delegates at large. To
avoid a false move, I beg to state through your
paper, that I respectfully decline making those
appointments, for some of the reasons above
assigned, and others not necessary to be stated.
I hesitate not to take this course because it is
so easy to appoint the delegates at large through
the District Conventions in away to ensure
conformity with the popular preference. Each
District Convention may nominate two dele
gates lor the State at large, and from the num
ber thus put in nomination, the District dele
gates, may be authorized to appoint four dele
gates. If such a plan, were approved by the
District Conventions, the District delegates
could easily assemble and make the selection.
I make the suggestion for what it is worth.
Respectfully, (be.,
Charles J. Jenkins.
THE LOUISIANA DELEGATION.
It is with no jileasant feelings that we per
ceive a serious quarrel has broken out in
Louisiana, on the question of the delegation
of that State in the Philadelphia Convention.
It seems a Mr. Roselius, President of the
National Union Association and the Andrew
Johnson Club of Now Orleans, took it upon
himself, in conjunction with certain other per
sons, to fix up an entire delegation for the State
of Louisiana, without any consultation with
the people whatever. Os course this brought
about trouble at once, and as Mr. Roselius
claims the authority to fix up as aforesaid and
those who favour the Convention want to have
some sort of a show themselves, it is likely con
flicting delegations will knock at the doors of
the Philadelphia Sanhedrim, each claiming to
be the genuine, original, authentic, Simon pure
embassy. It is unfortunate this trouble should
have occurred and gives us fresh cause for re
gret that the firebrand was ever thrown amidst
a peaceful and once united people. But so It
goes, and if we fight out of the Convention,
what will we do in ?
“THE RECONSTRUCTED,”
Editor Bennet does not often drive the quill
himself, but when he does nobody can mistake
his peculiar style. In the Herald of the 21st
appears an article which takes a general view
of the politics of the day,' and in touching on
the Philadelphia Convention, discourses on
this wise:
There was some talk of admitting certaiu re
constructed rebel politicians as delegates from
the South to the Philadelphia Convention, and
as these philosophers usually travel with bowie
knives under their coat collars and pistols in
their pockets and their boots, quite au exciting
session was naturally expected. But in de
ference to the feelings of the Hon.’Henry J
Raymond, who proved on the bloody fields of
Solfcrino mid Bull Run thnt lie whs as cour
ageous as Bob Acres, tills idea has been aban
doned and nobody who fought against the
Union in the recent war is to be admitted as a
delegate. This will practically exclude the
Southern States, for every representative man
from that section took part in the rebellion.
The Threatened Radical Crvix War.—
The New York World , in an editorial on Mr.
Raymond’s letter, which we published yester
day, says : “ The country is informed upon no
less respectable authority than that of the
Chairman of the National Executive Commit
tee of the Repubican party, a member also of
the House of Representatives, Mr. Raymond,
that the Radicals in and out of Congress, have
projected and planned a political revolution,
are already preparing a new civil war—a war
not of sections, but of neigeborhoods. It is
not possible to over-estimate the importanee of
this announcement; and Mr. Raymond deserves
the thanks of all those who do not thirst for a
fiercer carnage than can find parallel anwhere,
save in Paris during the revolution of >92, for
his exposure of the Radical plots, made openly
in the Timet under his own initials, as well as
for giving publicity to the violent and reckless
proceedings of the late caucus, which were such
as to prepare the country to believe nothing to
be mo desperate or costly which promises their
revolution success. By thus unveilling the Rad
ical plots, before the country is launched npon
a fatal tide of events. Mr Raymond has made
the best use of his presence at the secret cau
cus ; and if, where his friends and the country
naturally expected a vigorous denunciation, he
there imposed silence upon himself in order
that the villany of the revolutionists might go
its whole length, his silence will not be misin
terpreted to his discredit, now that he has pub
lished that villainy to the world.”
The Emperor Napoleon has signified his in
tention of being present at the experiments of
the submarine torpedoes invented by Com
modore Maury, and has fixed an early day fbr
his visit to Villenenve Bt. Georges for the pur
pose.

A New and Grand in Medicine t
Dr. Maogiel is the founder of a new Medical System 1
The quantitarians, whose vast Internal doses enfeeble
the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give prece
dence to the man who restores health and appetite, with
from one to two of his extraordinary Pilla, and cures the
most virulent sores with a box or so of his wonderful and
all healing Salve- These two great specifics of the Doctor
are fast superseding all the stereotyped nostrums of the
day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel’s Pills and Salve
have opened the eyes of the public to tho inefficiency of
the (so called) remedies of others, and upon which people
have so long blindly depended. Maggiel’s Pills are not
of the class that are swallowed by the dozen, and of
which every box full taken creates an absolute necessity
for another. One or two of Maggiel’s Pills suffices to
place the bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
create an appetite, &Dd render the spirits light and buoy
ant I There is no griping, and no reaction in the form of
constipation. lithe liveria afiected, Its functions are
restored; and if the nervous system Is feeble, it is invigo
rated. This last quality makes the medicines very desi
rable for the wants of delicate females. Ulcerous and
eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the disen
fectant power of Maggiel’s Salve. In fact, it is here an
nounced that Maggiel’s Bilious, Dyspeptic and Diarrhea
Bills cure where all others fail. While for Burns, Scalds,
Cbilblains, Outs and all abrasions of the skin, Maggiel’s
Salve is infallible.

CONSTITUTION
LIFE SYRUP,
-- COMPOSED OF
IODIDE! OB’ POTASBIUM,
With the Compound Concentrated Fluid Extract
of Valuable Medicinal Root* and Herbs.
PREPARED BY
WILLIAM H. GREGG, M. D.,
Graduate of the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, New York; formerly Assistant
Physician in the Blackwell's
Island Hospital.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
HAS PRODUCED A REVOLUTION IN
MEDICINE.
What may seem almost Incredible is, that many dis
eases hitherto considered hopelessly incurable are fre
quently cured in a few days or weeks; and we cheer
fully invite the investigations of the liberal minded
and scientific to cures which have no parallel at the
present day.
During the past five yoars we have contended with
obstacles and overcome opposition as herculean as
were ever encountered by any reformers.
RAPIDITY OF CURE.
Some say, “ Your cures are too quick," while others
doubt their permanence, and think that diseases can
only be cured by the slow, recuperative process of Na
tu re.
This is our reply: In health, tt« body, like a well
balanced scale, is In a state of equilibrium. But when,
from any cause, down goes one side of the scale, we
have tho effects of disease. What is requisite is to re
store the normal balance of the scale.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Is a positive and specific remedy for all diseases origi
nating from an Impure State or the Blood, and for all
(hereditary) Diseases transmitted from patent to child.
PARALYSIS.
It is so universally admitted that Constitution Life
Syrup Is tho only effective means of restoration In the
various forms of Paralysis, that we need not reiterate
that it is emphatically the great Life-giving Power.
DYSPEPSIA.
Indigestion, Weight at Stomach, Flatulence,
Liver Complaint, Want of Appetite, Bad
Breath, Constipation, Biliousness.
SCROFULA.
Struma, Kina’s Evil , Glandular Swellings, Ery
sipelas, Ulceration , Salt Rheum.
This taint (hereditary and acquired) filling life with
untold misery, is by all usual medical remedies Incu
rable.
RHEUMATISM.
[Arthritis,] Lumbago, Neuralgia, Sciatica,
Gout, Tte Doloretsux.
If there is any disease in which the Constitution
Life Syrup is a sovereign, It is Rheumatism and its
kindred affections. The most intense pains are almost
instantly alleviated—enormous swellings are reduced.
Cases, chronic or vicarious, of twedty or forty years’
standing have been cured by us.
CONSTITUTION LIICE SYRUP
Purgeß the system entirely from all the evil effects of
Mercury, removing the Bad Breath and curing the
Weak Joints and Rheumatic Pi dns which the uso of
Calomel Is sure to produce. It hardens Spongy Gums,
and secures the Teeth as firmly se ever.
CONSTITUTION LIKE SYRUP.
Eradicates, root and branch, all Eruptive Diseases of
the Skin, like
ULCERS, PIMPLES, BLOTCHES,
And all other difficulties of tills kind, which so much
disfigure tho outward appearance of both males and
females, often making them disgusting objects to
themselves and Iheir friends.
For all forms of Ulcerative Diseases,
Either of the Nose, Throat, Tongue, Spine, Forehead,
or scalp, no remedy has ever proved its equal.
Moth Patches upon the female face, depending upon
a diseased action of tho Livor, are very unpleasant to
the young wife and mother. A few bottles of Consti
tution Life Syrup will correct the secretion and re
move the deposits, which is directly under the skin.
Diseases of the Liver, giving rise to Languor, Dizzi
ness, Indigestion, Weak Stomach, or an ulcerated or
cancerous condition oi that organ, acaumpanied with
burning or other unpleasant syinptQvns, will he re
lieved by the use of
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP.
As a General Blood Purifying Agent, the Life Syrup
stands unrivalled by any preparation in the world.
THE RICH AND POOR
Are liable to the same disease. Nature and Scienco
have made the Constitution Life Syrup for the benefit
of all.
PURE BLOOD
Produces healthy men and women; and if tho consti
tution is neglected in youth, disease anil early death
is the result. Do not delay when the means are so
near at hand, and within the reach of all.
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Is the Poor Man's Friend, and the Rich Man's
Blessing.

CHOLERA.
A CERTAIN FOR THIS DISEASE
MAY BE FOUND IN THE USE OF
PERRY DAVIS’
Vegetable Pain Killer.
Ditbuqcb, lowa, May oth, 1865.
Gentlkmbn :—I feel under obligations to you for
the Denefit I have received from your invaluable Pain
Killer.
A few days since, I assisted in laying out and bury
ing one of our citizens who was supposed to have died
with the cholera. The next morning I was taken with
severe vomiting, accompanied with coldness of the ex
tremities. Warm coverings and hot applications failed
to restore warmth. My wife’s family, who had used
the Pain Killer with success during the cholera season
in Buffalo, in 1847, advised me to take it. I took two
doses at intervals of fifteen minutes; a fine perspira
tion ensued, and the next day, barring a little weak
ness, I was well, and have beon since. It may have
been an attack of ague; but whether ague or cholera
it answered my purpose.
Sinoe my recovery, I find that several of our citizens
have used the Pain Killer as a remedy for cholera,
pronouncing it good. I therefore take pleasure in re
commending it to a still more extensive notice.
W. M. CRAWFORD,
Attorney at Law.
i —i
St. Louis, Mo.
Dear Sir : —I feel it a duty I owe to the public to
make known the value of Davis’ Pain Killer, and my
experience in using it for some of the complaints for
which it is highly recommended. In April last, on
your recommendation, I purchased a ono-dollar bottle
of you for pains with which I have long been afflicted,
and made use of it on my trip down to New Orleans
with the most gratifying and beneficial effects. On
my return trip to this city, the cholera made its ap
pearance among some of my passengers. I made use
of the Pain Killer, having no other remedy on board,
and, to my surprise and gratification, found it gave
immediate relief. On my arrival in St. Louis, I called
on you and got four largo bottles, and stated to you
my confidence in it as an infallible cholera remedy
and remarking to you that I wanted no other cholera
remedy on board my boat. I made use of four bottles
on my trip to New Orleans and back, lor cholera and
some other complaints for which it is recommended,
and mot with the most astonishing success—when I
ordered from you six more one-dollar bottles. Since
then, I have made two more trips to New Orleans and
back, and on my previous trip up I had more than
SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA
on board, when the PAIN KILLER was immediately
used with the most astonishing results. In all cases
where it was used in time, it gave relief in a very
short time; and I can with confidence say to the pub,
lie, that in all of the first stages of choler a, when taken
in time, it is in my opinion an infallible remedy; and,
after a fair trial with it for several weeks, and four
trips to New Orleans and back, and using it for cholera
and other complaints for which it is recommended, no
consideration whatever would induce me to leave port
without a good supply—believing it to be a medicine
that no officer of a boat or any family would bo with
out a single day after using one bottle.
,T. M. BROADWELL,
Capt. Steamer Atlantic.
I most cordially unite with Captain Broadwell in
recommending Perry Davis’ Pain Killer to the public,
having myself been severely attacked with the cholera
and found relief In a few hours by using it, and have
myself administered It to more than fifty persons at
tacked with the cholera, and when used in time a cure
was effected in a few hours, and tako pleasure in re
commending it to the public as an invaluable medicine
that no individual should bo without a single hour.
,T. N. BOFFINGER,
Clerk Steamer Atlantic.
DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER.
In to-day’s Union will be found an advertisement of
this celebrated remedy. The certificates appended
from the Captain and Clerk of the steamer Atlantic
we know to be genuine and founded on facts, as they
verbally stated in our office the substance of what they
publish.— St. Louis Union.
At the commencement of the disease take a tea
spoonful of Pain Killer in sugar and water, and then
bathe freely across the stomach, and with the Pail)
Killer clear.
Should the diarrhcea or cramps continue, repeat the
dose every tiftoen minutes. In this way the dreadful
scourge may be checked and the patient relieved in
the course of a few hours.
N. B.—Be sure and get the genuine article, and it is
recommended by those who have used the Pain Killer
for the cholera, that in extreme cases the patient can
take two or more teaspoonfuls instead of one.
