PRESIDENTIAL ABUSE.
Some gentlemen of the old school arc much
exercised over Mr. Sumner's abuse of the
President.. They declare that it overleaps all
bounds of decorum and becomes shocking to
even ordinary breeding. We are almost be
trayed into astonishment when such protests
against Mr. Sumner’s violence come from
Washington, the place where he is best under
stood and most notoriously appreciated. Mr.
Sumner is a personal coward, as all men know
who know anything of the history of the lasi
fifteen years. Men devoid of true courage an
always mighty iu impudent arrogance of asser
tion mid,'when backed up by numbers, tin
loudest bullies in the universe, Mr. Sumner
is evidently inviting another attack upon bi
t-acred person, in order to suffer sweet martyr
dom, though it come from a gentleman’s walk
ing cane and is attended with disturbances or
pretended disturbances of the vertebral system
As’ he would probably sink into insignificance
■without sensation, and as the sensation of re
porting black Ilea from liis scrap-book is begin
ning to nauseate from utter monotony, some
body is invited to tread on the tail of his coat.
The fiery Southern spirit no longer leavens the
Halls of Congress, and so, this is an invitation
not likely to be honored. For one wc rejoice
that this is so.
It would be a -public calamity if Mr. Sumner
attained the object of his desires—a sound
thrashing. Such chastisement would be a
quasi recognition of his manhood. As lie
does not possess a particle of that, but has a
little mustard-seed soul in a huge body, any
bravado from him is simply ridiculous. Like
flic Irishman at Donnybrook, lie is famous for
requesting somebody !o insult him, but just al
that point the resemblance ceases. When the
insult comes, lie pockets it; wtien the weapons
nppenr he presents his backbone for the tor
ture. Ninety-nine men in a hundred would
die of mortification, but, sinking the rhetori
cian in the Yankee, he makes shame a com
modity and absolutely receives its wages with
alacrity and pride. What can bn done with
such a man and Ids foul mouth? We would
answer contempt, but upon contempt he lives
and breathes. We beg, however, that what
ever may be done, (logging be avoided,
l’rythee, good sirs, do not tread on the tail oi
Mr. Sumner’s coat. Leave Ids backbone in
peace andjquietness.
THE PROPOSED CONVENTION.
A National Democratic Convention is pro
posed. Tliu place of meeting, Louisville ; the
time May the second. From what we read and
henv, though eschew ins P-h’ly, tiie whole affair
is under the direction of and will lie managed
by old parly leaders. We have very little faith
in conventions-and, though not opposing
earnest efforts to right the country and restore
fraternity, incline to tho belief that, all an
cient. systems of convention must fail to do
good. The Philadelphia convention'was ab
horrent. because of the suppression of free
speech; tho proposed Louisville convention
will probably prove obnoxious from intemper
ance of speech. If the South have anything to
do with this convention, let her send very few
representatives and those the very best men it.
the community. Let these men bo heard, not
for their own glorification, but for the cause
they uphold. By May next, the country will
be past saving. The People are wrong-headed
and abject. Fine talk about their rights and
privileges will not avail. Very few men rule
this land to its destruction. When tho harden
imposed shall have become too great for en
durance, the patient people may shake it off.
ft is fust tcudiug the way of intolerable avoirdu
pois, but has not yet reached the point of resis
tance. There are some last feathers still
requisite. Meanwhile, conventions do not
specially lighten the weight and, if -anything,
protract the agony and postpone the crisis.
Therefore, while not opposing any honest,
effort to rehabilitate the country or rouse tho
people to n sense of danger, we give our views
1 rankly and leave’ the public to decide as to
tlieir efficacy or wisdom.
MAKINGPOINTS.
The latest telegrams Inform us that a bill has
been referred to the Judiciary Committee re
quiring a lull Bench and unanimous decisions
from the Supreme Court ou all appeals involv
ing State and national constitutional questions.
This is called “ regulating the Supreme C.ourt”
and will be one of many agitations of that
character. As the Radicals have demonstrated
the prodigality of their power and utter disre
gard of obligations, we do not see what is to
prevent their regulating anything they please.
Tho bold doctrine is announced that the chief
end of a man’s existence is to be a Radical ;
that the party is to succeed nt all hazards ; that
the success of the party is the life of the
nation, films thinking and thus all-powerful,
who shall say them nay ? Opposition is futile,
when opposition takes the shape of meekness.
Meekness is met with a corollary to tho above
propositions, viz : that'if tho law and the Con
stitution stand in the way of progress i. e.*
Radicalism so much the worse for law and
Constitution. The People, stranded like a
hnge whale, torpidly acquiesce in these assump
ions. The political harpooners, ever and anon,
n trod ace their cruel instruments into the
monster’s sides, barely sparing life. There is
feeble resistance and a natural throe, and then,
passive subrai-sion. One mighty effort would
give him to the free ocean, but that effort is never
made, and very soon will be impossible from
exhaustion. If leviathan is to spout blood,
better to die in his native element than on the
inglorious strand.

[From the Cincinnati inquirer.
The Danger Ahead.
It used to be the proud boast of our people
that while the waves of revolution swept over
the European eoutineut at periodical intervals,
sweeping away thrones and established institu
tions, and involving the nations in the horrors
of war, our Government was so firmly estab
lished as to prevent us from similar catastro
phes. Wo used, on the 4th of July and other
anniversary occasions, to compare our Govern
ment to a great three-decker, that sailed over
the troubled sea without danger, while smaller,
older and less seaworthy crafts were ship
wrecked and went down in the surgiug gulf.—
Often and often did-We not advance-such ideas
to rebut the assertion that republican govern
ments were uot permanent in their character ?
Alas! did we not exult before we had passed
the dead point of danger? Have we not learn
ed, and arc We not dally learning, the lesson
that w,e in the United States, highly favored by
fortune as we are,'are liotabpve the vicissitudes
ihaf have always' attended nationalities from
rhe earliest times ? Bat little more than three
quarters of a century have elapsed since the
U nion was formed among the States for the
great purpose of securing peace and domestic
tranquility among them. We have just emerg
ed from the greatest and bloodiest civil wai; on
record, between these very States, bound to
gether by the ties of union under the Constitu
tion. While wc thus look back upon a moun
tain of difficulty, that, at incredible cost, we
have passed over, what do we see ahead hut
still greater troubles and more awful commo
tions. One revolution is succeeded by another.
We are now in it, and are rapidly approaching
the vortex. We have been sorry and reluctant
to come to tills conclusion, but the signs and
indications are not to be mistaken.
Nothing will satisfy the rabid and half in
sane men who have usurped the power of Con
gress but a sanguinai-y and bloody revolution.
They are driving toward that point, with reck
less speed. We say sanguinary and bloody,
for it is a libel upon human nature and a rever
sal of all the lessons of historjq to suppose
that the ends they seek and are determined to
attain, can be aecoinplisheu without it. They
believe that no amount of injury and oppres
sion to whioli the/ oan resort, and that even
their destruction of the Government itself, will
lead to no efforts iu its preservation. They sup
pose that they can go ou in rebellion against
the Executive and Judicial branches of the
Government, sweeping the one out of their
path, and nullifying the decisions of the other,
and that the people will be passive uuder it.
They were exactly the same views that were
entertained by the ministers of George 111. be
fore the American Revolution, and which led
that foolish monarch to throw away the bright
est jewel in the British crown. Not moye blind
were the, counsellors of Charles X., in 1830,
whin they ventured upon measures and adopt
ed a policy that, in three days, overturned the
monarchy and drove the King and his advisers
into exile. The aged and sagacious Talleyrand,
who had been in njapy a stormy cogimotiou,
when told that tho movement at resistance was
hut a temporary outbreak, answered, “No,
sire, it is a revolution!” Our revolutionists
imagine that because men are slow to act they
will never do so, and because they have stood
much In the past they will stand heavier loads
in the future. They forget that the pitcher ta
ken once too often to the well breaks, and that
the greater the charge of powder the more vio
lent the explosion.
They are, in fact, dealing with elements
which they do not comprehend, and whose
force they have yet to learn in the dear school
of experienpe, " Daily we are accumulating
combustibles for a firs that will light up the
country from one extremity to the other. The
so-called Congress at Washington is a great
manufactory of them, and it only needs a spark,
that may fall at any to ignite them.—
There gperas to be no liope of any tiling better.
The country has been delivered over to those
who are deaf to all the inspirations of wisdom,
ard blind to all that is passing before their
eyes. Their, measures are constantly becoming
more rash, violent and menacing, and their at
tacks upon the Constitution and the Govern
ment more audacious and defiant. As they
drove us into a war of sections, so now all
their endeavors look and are directed to bring
about a war of parlies, whose geographical
limits are eo-extensive with those of the coun
try. The efforts of conservative men to avert
the crisis have thus far proven abortive —they
have delayed, hut will not prevent the final
consummation. Can those who are sowing
the wind fairly imagine that there will be. no
.whirlwind ? Those who are thus pushing mat
ters to extremities, and making it for others a
question of manhood and honor to stand up
for the Government they are overthrowing,
have thus far been very successful in the revo
lutionary drama! It has mafic them giddy in
their heads, and in tlieir intoxication they be
lieve that fortune, fickle to others, wii! cyer be
constant to them. Their eyes nave been so
dazzled by the rising of their sun at Austerlilz,
that they cannot possibly contemplate its set
ting upon a future Waterloo, Let lli.nn not
tempt the goddess of prosperity too far, for
change and instability are written upon all hu
man affairs. As Robespierre lorded it over
France, iu 1703 they are now tyrannizing over
this country. He was calm and confident that
his position was impregnable up to the very
day of that Oth Thermidor which destroyed his
power and sent him to the scaffold.
The result proved that with all the | restige
of his past successes, it only needed the on
slaught of bold and resolute men, like Tallien,
to prick the bubble of power he had created,
and show the hollowness of liis pretensions. —
Our revolutionists at Washington are not as
supreme as they imagine, and may have as sud
den and unexpected a fall as tlieir French pro
totypes. With the spirit that is now ipanifest,
and with the signs which are written all over
the horizon, it behooves the calm and prudent
to prepare for grave political troubles and dis
asters. Seven years ago, when we gave similar
warnings, they were decided and hooted in cer
tain quarters »s visionary and improbable, and
these remarks may he received in a similar
spirit ot incredulity by those who have not so
attentively watched the storm portends ahead.
We care not for this, for no one would more
rejoice to see all the clouds break, and the
dawn of hope and promise appear, than our
selves. We should like to sacrifice all pride of
opinion, and confess to an error formed and
expressed, if the results'of that error were pro
pitious to our country—to its peace and happi
ness.
But such a result seems scarcely possible.—
There is no sign of stopping in those who are
pushing forward the car of revolution with sneli
extreme velocity, and its legitimate results are
to he expected as a matter of course.
We shall have counter-revolution— the at
tempt of revolutionists to overturn the Govern
ment will lie sternly resisted, and a concerted
and organized effort will be made to save it at
any cost and at all linzzards.
Impeachment of the President—Precedents
in the Case.
There is great confusion in the public mind
us to whether the functions of the President
would surcease immediately upon his impeach
ment. These functions cannot cease at that
point, for this would anticipate the only sen
tence within the constitutional power of the
Senate to inflict—to wit, removal from ofllcc,
which cannot precede trial and conviction. But
it is said that they may surcease—that is, they
may be temporarily suspended, to be tally re
stored in the event of acquittal, or wholly with
drawn in the event of conviction. This, at
least, may be held requisite in order to prevent
the complications, not to say the collisions, that
might be inevitable were the President to re
tain his entire authority, including that which
he possesses as Commander-in-Chief of the
Army aud Navy ot '.he United States, and exert
it to the utmost in opposition to the authority
of Congress. It is thought by some that to
avoid aiiv difficulty of this kind Congress will
deem itself competent to pass, if necessary, a
special act temporarily suspending the func
tions of the President. However this may be,
there is little doubt that if the facts brought to
light by the impeachment investigation, whirflt
is now slowly progressing at Washington,
prove to be overwhelming, Congress will not
hesitate to do whatever can constitutionally be
done to remove every obstacle which may pos
sibly stand in they way of the trial.
Naturally enough great interest is felt in any
precedents whieh may bear upon this extra
ordinary ease. American history furnishes but
few precedents that throw any light whatever
upon it. The impeachment and trial of Judge
Samuel Chase, of Maryland, ended in his ac
quittal and did not prevent him from exercis
ing his judicial functions during the progress
of the trial. His trial commenced on January
2, 1805, and he was acquitted on March 1 in the
same year. According to 2 Cranch’s Reports,
containing Judgments in 1804 and 1805, Judge
Chase was abseut. from a few of the sessions of
the February term, 1805, and at one of them, in
the case of the United States vs. Fisher, Mr.
Harper, one of the counsel, apologized for
closing his argument, being engaged “ in an
impeachment then pending before the United
States”—the impeachment of Chase. But on
February 6,1805, when the case of Reiiy vs.
Lamar was argued, Jndgc Chase was sitting on
the bench and put, questions to counsel. "He
was also one of the court present at the ses
sions during the same February term, when
the case of the United States vs. Moore was ar
gued, as well ns when it was decided, on March
2, the day after the acquittal. Judge Peck also
continued to exercise his judicial functions,
notwithstanding his impeachment. But in the
case of Hon. William Blount, of Tennessee,
United States Senator, the Senate first ordered
that lie should he impeached, then that he
should be “ sequestered from his seat,” and,
thirdly, that he should be expelled. His hasty
expulsion, however, brought the whole case to
a conclusion ; for it placed him at once beyond
the jurisdiction of the Senate.
English history offers, of course, many more I
eases of impeachment tlmu our own. But these
precedents illustrate less the point under pres- 1
ent consideration than the fact recorded by
Montesquieu and Blackstone and the other em
!"T writers on the subject, that tiic abuse of
nipji offices of trust is the most proper und the
most usual ground for impeachment. Thus the
Duke of Buffolk was impeached for neglect of
duty as an ambassadorthe Earl of Bristol be
cause he gave counsel against a war'with Spain
whose King had affronted the English nation-!
Michael de la Pole, because he had acted con
trary to his duty as Chancellor; the Duke of
Buckingham, for having a plurality of offices,
and Lord Bacon, whom Pop* described as “ the
greatest, wisest, meanest es mankind,” for
bribery in tlfc office of Lord Chancellor; Lord
Yineh, for unlawful methods of enlarging the
forest in his office of Assistant to the Justices
in Eyre, and the Eirl of Oxford, for selling
goods to his own use, captured by him as Ad
miral, without accounting for a teutli due to
others. In all these cases abuse of high offices
of trust was the ground lor impeachment. The
same charge was preferred in the impeachment
of Loyd Yisco’unt Melville, who was.finally ac
quitted. Iu his case the motion for impeach : <
ment was immediately followed by a petition to
the King that his name might be erased from
the Privy Council, and this he forestalled only
by resignation previous to his impeachment and
trial.
We presume that the triale of Charles I. and
of Louis XVI. are altogether too exceptional to
be cited in this connection. They belong pecu
liarly to times more revolutionary than our own.

• Georgia and Garoliaa Worries,
“ Warwick,” a correspondent of the New
York Day Book, writes thus :
. ' The Hills, Ala,., Dec. 29,1866.
To Ihe Editors of The Day Book :
Gents : I send for The Old Guard a copy of
Mirabeau B. Lamar’s poem, entitled “The
Daughter of Mendoza.” I hope you will pub
lish it. I can never, forget the first time I saw
Lamar. I was a boy fourteen years of age.
lie was an invited speaker at the second “Nul
lification ” meeting ever'held in Georgia. The
first had been held in Athens, at the seat, and
during the commencement ot the University,
uuder the auspices of the late Augustine 8.
Clayton, then a member of Congress from that
State, under the general ticket system. Athens
was the home of .Judge Clayton, and the ceutre
of literary and polite life in Georgia. George
McDuffie, from South ■ Carolina, was there.
This second meeting, which really put “the
hall in motion” in Georgia, was held in Coving
ton, Newton county, Ga. Hon. Thos. F. Fos
ter, one ol the first gentlemen and most gifted
lawyers in the State, was also, at that time, a
Representative in Congress, and in attendance
ou the meeting as a speaker. Other distin
guished gentlemen now living were present
and participating in the meeting. Among
them were Judge John J. Floyd, General Bar
zillai Graves and Rev. A. Aleans, D. D. L. L. D.
Judge Clayton, by the way, was ono of the
first wits, us well as One of the first jurists and
statesmen Georgia ever produced. His bon
mots were widely circulated through the intel
lectual circles of the State. In his later years
he was the subject of hemiplegia. He became
a zealous Christian. A distinguished infidel
friend rallied him upon that “ weakness,” say
ing, “O, Clayton, you are infirm now, and
afraid to die.” With great solemnity the witty
Judge replied, “And is it a ‘ weakness’ then to
fear God ?” He inaugurated the nullification
excitement iu Georgia in 1831. While passing
through Soutli Carolina, on his way home
from Congress, he had given a toast at a public
meeting in these words, “ He that dallies is a
dastard.” Arriving in Georgia, Hon. Mr. Cuth
bert called him to account tor it, before a large
assemblage of people, desiring to know if Clay
ton adhered to that sentiment. Clayton rose
and moved slowly to a conspicuous position,
and replied, “I.said, in South Carolina, ‘He
that dallies is a dastard.’ 1 take this occasion
to repeat it, and to add, I He that doubts is
damned!’ ”
Foster was also au eccentric genius. He
once begged an honorable member, who had
persisted Iu a long, prosy speech, to d.esist. “I
shall not desist,” he replied ; “ I am not speak
ing for the benefit of the honorable gentleman
from Georgia. I am not speaking for this
House. I am speaking, sir, for posterity.”—
“ Yes,” replied Foster, petulantly, “ and if yon
keep on a little longer, posterity will hear you!”
Judge Wayne was once making au elaborate
decision against Foster, in the Federal Court in
Savannah. The Judge was slow and a little
pompous, spitting about him with great non
chalance. A legal friend passing Foster, as lie
was leauing moodily on his desk, inquired how
he liked the decision V “ The decision,” said
Foster, “ That’s well enough, but d—n the man
ner of it!”
Foster was a Whig ami a Harrison man in
1814. At a political meeting in Greenville, Ma
rietta Co., Geo., in which many of the most
Kjlted men In that State participated, tho lute
distinguished Walter T. Colquitt, attheclose of
his speech on the Democratic side, turning to
his enraged opponents, demanded, “ Who is to
reply lo me ? Being told that Col. Foster
would answer him, “Then,” said Colquitt, “ 1
shall go home. Col. Foster is a gentleman, and
my character is safe in his hands."
It was at that meeting, and surrounded l>v
such men, that Lamar pronounced one of the
most fiery declamations which ever fell from the
lips of mortal man. Wild with zeal, hooih,,
out, “ But it is said that General Jackson ha
threatened lo Rend a million of muskef-boarin<:
men across the Foloma,:. Wliat then? Why!
they, meet a million of musket-hearing men, to
make that beautiful river a river ot blood. Bv
Heaven, fellow-citizens, 1 had rather see Geor
gia lent from the continent by an earthquake,
and Hooting, an icehurg, In the ocean, leafless
and lifeless than to see her submit, to this tin
constitutional, unequal, unjust taxation ! Nay,
I had rather see her sank into a lake of fire’
seven times hotter than man’s conception !”
He ceased, and the multitude was wild with
mad excitement, His appearance was unique.
His fine bust; his blue cloth sartoufcand Byron
collar ; his large, open, blue eye, and ample
brow and sombre mein, marked him as a man
of peculiar tastes, of melancholy mould, of ve
hement passions, touched with poetic and gen
tle sentiments. He was an organized mass o!
human fire, aiid as he moved about the towu,
during the evening, in silent meditation, sqlu
ting nobody, indulging a segar and the shaded
promenade, all eyes went after him in wonder
and curiosity. When, in after-life, he tied a
bandanna handkerchief over his head and
charged the Mexican army, in Texas, riding
alone through its ranks, sword in hand, nobody
who knew him was surprised. 1 remember an
occasion when he was sick, in Columbus, Geor
gia ; his old friend, Colquitt, went to see hint.
“ How hard this is,” said he to C.; “ here 1 am,
scorched to a cinder, with this fever; anybody
but me could die, but I can’t die ; I shall live.”
With his subsequent career in Texas, as sol
dier and statesman, the world is familiar.
Everybody remembers his letter, demanding
the life of Bantu Anna. “He has made,” said
he, “ the blood of innocence the Fnlcrnian of
his revels, and with Ins military boot stamped
upon the brow of blue-eyed beauty.”
A Local Incident nineteen Years of Age.
We find floating the rounds of the press the
following particulars of a circumstance which
is still fresh in the minds of the older residents
of Atlanta, though it occurred nineteen years
ago. The party referred to as having assaulted
Mr. Stephens in front of the old “Thompson
Hotel” was Judge Cone. The incident took
place on the 4t,h of September, 1848, at the
above place. It was reported to Mr. Stephens
that he “ had been proclaimed a traitor to the
South,” in a public speech made by one who
had held high position in the State.’ In a per
sonal interview witli this person he inquired
whether the charge had been made, as reported ;
and though the charge was denied, and the par
ties separated in a friendly manner at the time,
yet the words Mr. Stephens on that oc
casion led to a subsequent demand for retrae
tion. This was refused, aud a rencontre en
sued. Mr. Stephens was unarmed, while his
assailant, who was more than twice his size and
weight, was duly prepared for tiie rencontre
which he sought. Upon the refusal to retract
the words, an assault was made upon Mr. Ste
phens with open knife.
T.iis lie for some time parried with an um
brella, receiving several wounds upon his arm
and breast; but his assailant rushing upon him
with all his superior force and weight, threw
him upon his hack. One blow with the knife
Aimed at the heart would have done its fatal
work, but for the fortunate position of the
blade of the knife. Another blow, on the oth
er side, passing between two ribs, severed an
inter-costalery artery. The strong man • lien,
with his left hand on the forehead of his ad
versary, and the knife in his right hand, said :
“ Now, , retract, or I will cut your
throat.” The reply was: “ No, never! Cut!”
As the knife came, Mr. Stephens caught it in
his right hand, and with his left caught the
right elbow ot him who wielded it. In this
way the struggle lasted until both were on
their feet again, and others came to the rescue.
The right hand, that seized the knife as it was
aimed at the throat, was horribly mangled by
the turning and twisting of the blade in efforts
to get it out of tiie grip. The hemorrhage
from the severed artery would have resulted in
speedy death, but for the fortunate presence of
Dr. Hitchcock, of the United States army,
whose skill arrested it.
The scene occurred Iu the piazza of Thomp
son’s Hole], iu Atlanta, Ga., on the 4th of Sep
tember, 1848. Mr. Stephens was laid up for
several weeks with these wounds. The right
hand was thought to he permanently disabled.
The tendons of several fingers and the thumb
were severed. lie could not. use the hand at
all for about twelve months. In tlio meantime,
he accustomed himself to write with his left.
But, to the permanent iujttry of the right, his
bad chirography is now partly owing. Many
amusing and some provoking things have oc
curred from this terribly bad.writing, in which
Hon. Rufus Choate was his only rival, and of
which we will give at least one sac simile of a
late date. Printers often set up Tuesday for
Thursday, and North for South, or friends fill
appointments too soon or too late. He once
ordered two “ Dagou plows," an old kind bear
ing that, name which he wished. He received
“ two dozen,” a full car load, of another kind.
Once, when the writer was with hint on a visit,
lie ordered fifty pounds of rice and received
fifty pounds of ice.— Atlanta Irtelligenccr.

THE GREAT
American Blood Purifier !
THE QUEEN’S DELIGHT!
• o
T-'IIE QUEEN’S DELIGHT, tho great Ameri
can Alterative and Blood Purifier, is the most perfect
vegetable compound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics
and diaphoretics ; makiDg it the most effective invig
orating, rejuvenating and blood-cleansing cordial
known to the world. *
In introducing this new and extraordinary medicine
to the public, observation leads us to remark that too
little attention is pdd to tho “life of all flesh,”’the
blood. Many dlsc-asos, and, too many complaints,
which have their origin in a vitiated state of the blood,
aro treated only as symptoms and results ; whereas, ii
the remedy had been applied to enrich the blood and
render it pure, both cause and effect would have been
removed. The Queen’s Delight is ofl’ered tj the
afflicted as a sure remedy for those diseases arising
from an impure condition of the bio id. It has a direct
and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently
renders the blood pure. It Is said, on high authority,
that “ man no sooner begin® to live than ho begins to
die, and that the characteristics of the living organism
are ceaseless change and ceaseless waste.” It i»
obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless
the blood is pure, in supplying the waste tissues with
material, it must be the cause of innumerable ills and
constitutional disorders, such as Scrofula, Rheuma
tism, Hepatic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamraat’ons,
Fevers, Ac. Life and health Is only to bo maintained
by tlie circulation of pure arteric! blood.
We therefore advise every one whose Mood is in tin
least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whoso con
titution is impaired by disease and is suffering from
RhematUm, Liver Complaint, Consumption, Scrofula
or King’s Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of
the Skin, Erysipelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness
ot the Skill, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in the Bones,
old Ulcers, Syphilis and Sypliilictlc Sores, Indigestion,
Inflammation of tlie Bladder nnd Kidneys, Pains In
the Back, Goncrai Debility, end for alt complnints
arising from deficiency nnd poverty of Mood, to use
the Queen’s Delight.
Females of delicate constitution, suffering from
weakness and depression of mind in consequence of
those complaints which nature imposes at tho period
of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy in the
Queen’s Delight.
Children whose fair and ruddy complexion gave ear
ly promise of health and beauty, but too soon become
blanched and pale by some hereditary taint ol the
blood, will have tho rich boon restored by using the
Queen’s Delight.
The unncelimated and persons traveling Ir.to warm
countries will find the Queen’s Delight a great protec
tion from nil malarious affection and diseases which
originate in u change of climate, diet and life.
Tlie extraordinary and unprecedented cures per
formed by tho Queen’s Delight Compound is attract
ing Iho attention of every one, not only at homo, but
abroad. The merits of this compound are being felt
and appreciated everywhere. Ilear what they say of
it in New York: ‘‘lt is a nfmedy ol much importance
and value, exerting an influence over all tho secre
tions, which 1 unsurpassed by any other known al
terative. It is ex onsivety used in all the various
forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections;
also in scrofulous, In putic and cutaneous diseases, in
which its use is followed by She most successful re
sults.”
Its properties as a rented} were first introduced to
thonoticeof the p of ssion by Dr. Tlios. Young Si
mons, of South U ro ina, ns early as 1828, as a valua
ble alterative emedy in syphilitic affections, and
others requiring use of mercury. Dr. Slmous’ state
ments have been tnders-d and extended by Dr. A.
Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. K. Frost, of Charles
ton. From the reports in its favor, there seems no
reason to doubt tho efficacy of this medicine in Sec
ondary Syphilis, Sc.ofula, Cutaneous Diseases,
Chronic Hepatic Affections and other complaints
benefitted by alterative medicines.
