THE SUPPLEMENTAL BILL. \
Debates in the Senate on the Supplemental J
Bill have been unusually spicy and interesting. ,
The Helicals differ materially concerning their ]
own bantling and, though the breach may no
prove serious, it is worth remai king. Senatois
How ARP and Fessenden understood the bill
as leaving it optional with the South to accept
or reject its provisions. Mr. Howard went so
far as to express his conviction as to this con
struction, and would not easily repudiate his
Republican principles to force the South
into adoption. Mr. Fessenden denied the
right ot Congress in the premises. Mr. F. is a
great lawyer and held in considerable repute
among his coadjutors. He startled them not a
little by the further declaration that the “ very
imposition of the Sherman-Shellabarger bill
gave the existing Southern governments a legal
existence.” Os course the aim of all this un
friendly legislation is to compel us to become
Radical States, as if by voluntary enactment—the
iron hand being deftly disguised under the vel
vet cloth of a Convention table. Mr. Morton
had no difficulty with Mr. Fessenden’s logical
knot; ho proposed to cut it in the good old
Macedonian way—with the sword. He ac
knowledged that his party was determined to
force the measure nolens volens. Mr. Fessen
den objects to this tomahawk style of legisla
tion, but he will vote with Mr. Morton never
theless.
It may ustouish some folks to learn that Mr.
Revekdy Johnson concurred in the opinion of
Mr. Morton. He even went a bow shot be
yond and, accordlug to the Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Gazette, hinted
the method of compulsion-- i. e. a recognition
of am/ government formed by the minority, if
the whites of the South failed to act under the
demands of Congress."
This is the man to whom Gen. Chalmers
addressed his letter advocating Southern sub
mission. This the man to whom many apolo
gies have been rendered by Southern journals
for harsh language expressed. We have no
thing to take hack. When a man delivers him
self over for the sake of expediency, the first
false step is the only difficult one in progress
ive stultification. Wc feel toward Reverdy
JonNSON as Browning did for a “Lost Lead
er :’’
«* We shall march prospering—not through his pres
ence;
Kongii may inspirit us- -not from his lyre;
Deeds will he done—while he boasts his quiescence,
Still bidding crouch whom tho rest hade aspire.
Blot out iiis name, then—record one lost soul more,
Ono task more declined, one moro footpath untrod.
One more triumph for devils, and sorrow for angels.
One wrong more to mail, one more insult to God !
Life’s night begins ; let him nover come hack to us I
There would be doubt, hesitation and pain,
Forced praise on our part—the glimmer of twilight,
Never glad, confident morning again I”
A NEW TAOK,
We have not the same faith in the weather
cock proclivities of the New York Herald .as
that which lives in the reason of the multitude.
Still, as a matter of curiosity, we feel bound to
record its shift ings for the public benefit. Not
many weeks ago, the Herald came out blatantly
for impeachment; it now crawls out of that,
tree very much in the style of Col. Scott’s
coon. Last week, it suggested the names of
Grant and Lee ns respective candidates for
President and Vice -i’luuldcnt at the coining
election. This week, it goes further still and
has a heavy leader on “ the approaching col
lapse, of the Republican party." It declares
Radicalism played out and of no further use
for missionary purposes ; it further avers that
the leaders of the parly are getting ulunued.
In proof ol this position, a certain letter of the
Jacobin editor of Wilkes' Spit it of the Times
is reproduced, thus:
“Mark, then, what Wilkes says of the di
lemma of the Radicals at Washington. He says
that when the Reconstruction Gilt had become
a law they saw clearly ‘ that the man at the
other end ot the avenue, who now stands utter
ly without a frieml or a party, may in less than
six mouths have at Ills hack the compact power
of thirteen States and all the copperhead party
of the North that then,' with its two-thirds of
each house of Congress destroyed, the Repub
lican party will become demoralized and will
perhaps be broken up. The only remedy, he
contends, in order that the military -machinery
of Southern reconstruction may be given into
upright hands, Is the removal of President
Johnson. He must he removed, or with the
weapon which has been furnished him in this
Reconstruction hill he may demolish the Re
publican party.”
MR. rox AND HIS RUSSIAN PRESENTS.
Mr. Fox, as our renders will probably re
member, is Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and
was, by Congress, sent last vcnr to Russia to
congratulate the Emperor upon liis escape from
the bullet ot an assassin—the same august Em
peror who, two or three years ago, transported
thousands of unfortunate Poles to pine away
and finally perish in the solitudes of Siberia.
Our little Fox was cajoled and caressed by the
Russian Rear ; treated to inuumerable banquets
and parties, and has just returned a confirmed
gastromic invalid lor life. But, to soothe this
heavy affliction, his Russian Majesty presented
to our Fox a whole library of Russian books,
which Fox is unable to read, being written in
Muscovite lingo. But, what is more to the
point, a golden snuff box was added, set all
around with diamonds, worth in the New York
market many thousands of dollars. Mr. Sew
ard very liberally permitted Mr. Fox to ac
cept these presents ; but whenjthe matter c-arae
up in the Senate of the United States, that
venerable body grumbled at the demand to ad
mit the preseut duty free. The duty would
amount to some $4,000, and that is no small
matter to be sure, but the demand is hardly
flattering to the mighty Czar. Finally, the af
fair was compromised by Mr. Fox and his
friends through a stroke of real genius, deserv
ing of promotion in the diplomatic service.
Mr. Fox is to keep his gout and his snuff box ;
the Senate retains all the Russian books which
nobody cau read.
THE MILITARY COMMANDERS.
The surmise that Conservative Generals would
be assigned to the command of (be new mili
tary districts has not been fulfilled. The offl
cers delegated by the President have, with ore
exception, Schofield, been popularly classed
with his antagonists. % Geucral Thomas hr.s
been nominated as the next Radical President
by the loyalists ot Tennessee. This , honor lie
declines, but his letter of retusal Is gratefully
worded. General Sheridan has given few
evidences of clemency and conservatism ; Gen
eral Sickles Is not even eligible under tl o
very law that gives him authority. General
Pore, whose order we are daily awaiting, is
claimed by Mr. Fornet. He was once a Demo
crat and probably cares littlcfor either political
party. These remarkable military designations
Lave the appearance of coercion or, mayhap, are
Id consonance with Mr. Johnson’s declaration
that he might disappoint those who supposed
he would be leniept in carrying out a law how
ever subversive of the Constitution. Hard as
his hand seems to be, wc trust Uie following
criticism from the St. Louis Times is 100 cans
tic. ftjsays : “To confess the truth of our otvn
belief of the President, wc do not expect of him
to do what is right and proper, however clear
sighted he may have been to perceive, and ready
4o enunciate what is sound in principle and
proper in official conduct.. Had the President
been half as practical in action as he has been
pound theoretically, Congress would not have
dared to perpetrate the monstrous outrage on
which we are now commenting. The President
has wilfully, we almost say, stultified himself
l>y refusing to do in action wliat he professed
to believe in principle.”
Our Poverty—One of its Causes.— ls any
arguments were wanting against the practice ol
planting cotton in Maury couuty (says the Co
iumbia Gazette—and the argument is applicable
throughout the South), the scarcity of money
in the county ought to be itself sufficient. Dur
ing the last season the farmers of this county
madFUrst rate average crops of cotton, ;yid it
has sold as high as there is any reason to hope
that it will sell again. The aggregate yield
may he estimated at 10,000 bales for the county.
This, at 25 cents, has sold for one million two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars—all ol
which ought to have come and the great hulk
of which has come into the county.
The question is, where is it now ? And many
people are puzzled for an answer. But it will
be explained very quickly and clearly to any
one who will take his stand at the depot as the
freight cars are emptied and see what character
of freight they daily deliver. There may be
seen arrivals every day of every article of farm
produce used by man and beast, brought from
Louisville or Cincinnati. And just at this sea
son whole car loads of plow and other
farming implements may be seen, all beariug
the brand of some Louisville or Cincinnati
houses.
Add to these the regular supplies of the dry
goods, hardware, drugs and notions, hut under
present circumstances cannot be produced here,
aud the question, where does the cotton money
go, is very nearly answered. Reader, if you
own a farm do try and raise your own potatoes,
peas, and bacon; above all, raise your corn. It
is not yet too late to arrange for your corn
crop. Then take time by tho forelock, and do
uot, wo beseech you, contlnuo to labor and
slave for ft foreign task master.
Our New York Correspondence.
New York, March 14.
The “ temper ” of President Johnson, in ad
ministering, and (he South in receiving and
“ accepting ” the Military Despotism Bill, is
generally pronounced satisfactory. Wilson’s
supplementary bill, confiding to the command
ing generals, when appointed, the direction of
preliminary matters in the reorganization, such
as the appointment of officers of the polls, is
tlius far regarded with indiffereuco. But from
the proceedings of Congress to-day, it would
appear that, the Sherman monster is not the
“ finality ” after all, and precisely what willlxj (
tba finality is not, now «uy to foresee ; but
will probably not be known until the “ com
manding generals ” shall Issue their “ general
orders.”
The contest over the appointment of the five
commanding generals has been quite warm, and
I regret to say that the President has been
guilty of yielding in this matter. Those op
posed to the degradation of tho Southern peo
ple desired that Gou. Meade, Gen. Hancock,
and Gen. Sherman, officers who have knowl
edge of affairs, should be chosen to be “ district
commanders.” But only one of the appointees,
Gen. Ord, can make any claim to Conservative
principles. The President actually violates the
law to continue Sickles in his present com
mand ; for “ peace ” having been declared, and
the volunteers mustered out of service,
‘sickles’ commission as Major General ol
volunteers has expired, aud he is but a
colonel of regulars. The President has
allowed Mr. Stanton to bully him in this busi
ness. Sickles, like Stanton and Butler, was a
3rcckinridge Democrat, lie apfiieved notorie
ty in this city as a successful manipulator of the
worst phases of our local politics. The prac
tice, by Sickles, of the arts by which political
affairs are controlled in Now York City, will
leave Gov. Brown and his “ nigger ” allies—
white and black—but. little to do, except to give
“respectability” to his proceedings. But he
may profess great fairness—perhaps lie will
mean to do right—but from a long knowledge
of the man, I do not believe him capable ol
appreciating, much less practicing, a decent de
ference to public opinion in the important mat
tors that are to be confided to him. The man
who saved to the Federate the field of Gettys
burg is kept in retirement, umj one of the
“heroes” ot Chancellorsville (the only great
.battle the of war where either side Incurred dis
grace as well as defeat) is kept in a command
to which his rank does not entitle him, because
ho is regarded as reliable for an active proseeu
lion of the. work of degrading the Southern
people. President Johnson is disgrapcJ by
permitting this outrage. .
SMALL CONSOLATIONS.
If it be any small consolation to the Southern
people to know that the power of their enemies
to harrass them has evidently reached a climax,
Mr. Stevens is evidently no longer the autocrat
in lljc House that lie has been. His motion for
a re-appointment of the Committee on Recon
struction failed to receive the necessary vote
to its adoption. Amt Mr. teuipner seems to
have come to grief in tho Senate. His etfirt tP
make systematic confiscation a part of the pro
ceedings in “ Reconstruction ” received only
uine votes besides bis own ; and the other day
he submitted to a caustic exposure of his pre
sumption Irom Mr! Fessenden. It is real “pro
gress ” when any considerable number of Re
publicans dare defy the mandates of these Rad
ical high-priests.
The distribution of the patronage of the Ad
minisiration is having a very demoralizing in
fluence upon the Radicals, ft Is found that if.
simply Republicans, there will he no difficulty
in obtaining or holding office uuder Mr. John
son ; but if blatant destructives, bellowing for
impeachment and confiscation, they need expect
nothing. Herein the Administration shows
wisdom,and is perceptibly strengthening itself.
The gains in this State and New Hampshire at
test Radical demoralization. The probability
of Democratic success in Connecticut is in
creasing. There is scarcely a doubt of the. gain
of two members of Congress. Radicalism is a
flood of fanaticism, whose subsidence already
promises to he as rapid'as its rise. But who
will repair the endless damage that it has in
flicted ?
LIVING IN NEW YORK.
There has been an annual panic raised at this
season for many years by the unfortunate men
whose necessities compel them to live in New
York, about, the greed of house-owners; and
doleful forebodings about how it will he impos
sible for any body, unless he is u merchant
prince, or an ex-contractor for Government
guns, to have a whole house in this high-prieed
hive. Vindictive journalists, anticipating
another turn of the landlords’ screw, relieve
their bile by setting forth in their papers gor
geous, but hitherto impracticable projects for
diffusing the day population of New York over
the surrounding country to a distance of thirty
or forty miles, to take its rest. One mental eon,
ception, which has fretted the brains of some
visionaries for a great many years, is a scheme
for the reclamation of the marshes of adjacent
Jersey, which are now a howling, or, in respect
of the large and violent mosquitoes which in
fest them, a trumpeting wilderness, uninhabi
table by man or thin skinned beast. It is pro
posed to raise capital enough, thro.ugh the
agency of a joint-stock company, to build a
coffer dam across the “ frith” which connects
these swamps with the ocean, and to convert
the territory thus enclosed into a sort of mo
dern Venice, trusting to time and the advanc
ing influences of civilization and Christianity to
mitigate the mosquitoes. The projectors ot
this enterprise will show you, with a great
deal of loose declamation, and a very little
calculation quite as loose, how certain it is to
succeed, and what a mere bagatelle the cost of
it is iu comparison with the profit that will as
suredly accrue. Half a dozen attempts (1 think
I speak within bounds,) have been made al
ready, at various times, to accomplish this re
sult, but have come to naught, and been quietly
consigned to the limbo of foolish adventure ;
and the promoters ol tlic present plan are, of
course, as sanguine as if they were the first
people whose heads the notion had ever enter
ed. Then there are all sorts of bubbles blown
in Wall street for all sorts of railways aud other
modes of conveyance up town and into Long
Island and Westchester. It is probable that it
is in this direction that the pressure will ulti
mately find vent. If necessity be the mother ot
invention, she certainly ought to he approach
ing her confinement by now. Ingenious wits
are at work, hut they don’t seem to produce any
thing leasible; and if they did, our pure Legis
lature would demand, as a condition precedent
to the Incorporation of any company to put it
into action, as much profit as that eoiupauy
could possibly make in five years, iu the way
of “ lobby fees,” or, as plain people call them,
bribes. If an “underground railway" could
lie made to traverse the spine of Manhattan
Island, from the Battery to King’6 Bridge, it
would not only materially diminish the cost,
and enhance the cost of metropolitan life, but it
would take from Broadway-the crush of vehi
cles and footmen which make it now anything
but a thorough tare. Such an one has been iu
operation In London, to the perfect satisfaction
of its patrons, for some years, and under condi
tions much less favorable than it would find
here.
What the causes are which have deterred
capitalists from undertaking it heretofore, I do
not exactly know. One ol them is the propen
sity 1 pave adverted to in our legislators for
preliminary fees, and another may be found in
our municipal government, which is fully ns
corrupt as the other—-that Is,perfectly corrupt—
with the additional ad van tag,- of being, it possi
ble, still more pig-headed. And the local body
has not the benefit of publicity. They hoiu
meetings once a weak, and seats for citizens
are, it is true, provided at them, but no sane
citizen was ever known to go to one ; and re- I
ports of their proceedings are printed in the I
city papers, three or four columns of small aim j
solid type, hut every healthy human mind I
shudderingly avoids them. So, here are two |
insatiate means which must some how he sa- 1
tinted before any beneficial public work can l>e
begun ; and so the whole population groan vth
and traveleth Iu pain together until now.
BUSINESS MATTERS.
The favorable torn to the demand for goods
at Manchester has given an impulse to the
Liverpool cotton market, which is immediately
responded to here, aud there has been a recov
ery of fully two cents per lb., with a large busi
ness for speculation and export. The spinning
demand is still limited, and we have announced
this week the failure of two large New Eng
land cotton spinning companies. But if Man
chester, in England, less oppressed by tariffs,
taxes and inflated currency, shall have a large
demand for goods, the supply of cottou can be
easily marketed at Liverpool without submit
iug to further sacrifices in prices.
Breadstuff's are all advancing. A large de
mand prevails from the South and is expected
to continue. Fork aud hog products have also
advanced. General trade improves slowly, and
we still have complaints of dull times.
The Government is selling gold in small
quantities—sometimes a quarter of a million iu
a day—seemiug to wish to keep the premium
below 35. But no material decliuc is expected
till Congress adjourns, leaving the administra
tion and the country to Its own resources. The
country is languishing from a surfeit of legisla
tion. Willoughby.
. Our Paris and Continental Correspondence.
Paris, February 26,1867.
’To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
THE UOLY LETTER—OPENING AFFAIR IN
FRANCE.
’ The legislative body sat on Friday, the 22d
’ of February, Count Waleski in the chair,
i The order of the day was the interpellation
of M. Picard, relative to the violation ot the
’ secrecy of letters sent through the post office.
! The ultra Republican member severely com
i mented upon the conduct of Mr. Vandal for
, having—in order to prevent the circulation of
ilie proclamation of the Count de Cbambord,
1 otherwise called Henry V.—caused so much
uneasiness to every Frenchman.
There Is a point upon which every one is
in accord. We said—and that is the Inviolabil
ity of the secrecy of letters—a secrecy which is
inviolable, not only because it is placed under
the safeguard of the penal code, but because it
is deeply imprinted in tho human conscience,
j The secrecy of letters is as sacred as that of
the confession, agd at every period, and under
5 all reigns, it lias been considered as a second
’ reliirion in France. Under the ancient regime,
the Parliaments, which admitted the torture as
a moans of discovering the truth, never per
mitted a letter seized at the post office to be
put forward in evidence. The Constituent As
sembly more than once had occasion to mani
fest its respect rqr the secrecy of lcttere. At
the moment of the flight of Louis ifVI. to Var
cnndfe, when the letters found in the Tuilleries
were brought to the Assembly it refused to read
them, aud ordered them to be forwarded, un
opened, to their destination.
During tbs hundred days the Prefects thought
it their duty to‘open all the letters 6ent through
the post office, but the Minister of the Interior,
M. Carnet, sent them a circular which ought to
be engraved in letters of gold on the cntabla
ti re of the. intended new post office.
Again, under the restoration, when the mili
tary plot of Belfort broke out, the Prefect of
the upper Rhine seized ou some letters which
iter minated the accused. The examining ma
gistrates refused to add them to the documents
ir. the ease ; a dispute arose between the two
authorities, which was carried before the Coun
cil of Ministers, who decided that the magis
trates were right. Under Louis Philippe, an
abominable pamphlet reflecting on the private
life of the King was published on the other
side of the French frontier ; some packets were
placed in the post ollice at Lille ; the Prefect
wished to seize them, but the Postmaster re
fused to give them up; the Council ol Minis
ters was appealed to, who approved of the
Postm&step’s conduct.
Under the Republic of 1818, after the events
of the 15th of May, a man arrested on suspi
cion of insurrection and attack upon the Gov
ernment, wrote from his prison to King Jerome
Napoleon. The governor of the prison brought
the letter, sealed, to the Executive Committee,
who ordered it to be forwarded to its address.
Other times arrived, and a judgment of the
court of Cassatien decided that the Prefect of
Police in Paris and the Prefects in the Depart
ments should have the powers of judicial po
lice, that is to say," those of an examining magis-
Uate. That is the law, and it must be respect
ed. The circular of the lb rector General, or
dering the postmasters of France to violate the
secrecy of letters in order to interrupt the Roy
alist proclamation, is in no way in accord with
the law.
Mr. Nainal, the Director General, on rising,
saiil that the Government had awaited with im
patience the moment when it eould have the
opportunity or giving some explanations upon
a subject which had excited much alarm in
France. It will he superfluous to enter into
the details of Mr. Natual’s very loug speech in
defense of the measures lately adopted by him;
suffice it to say, that the answer giveu by hint
was, op the whole, considered very unsatisfac
tory, and it was onijf Qi; jfs assurance that the
case should not again occur in France, under
the present Government, and it is to be hoped
Under others, that the House was pleased to
h*t the matter drop.
M. THIERS BOOKT.INI* ON HIS ARDOUR,
The sturdy ex-minister, M. Tillers, is com
posing a formidable collection of documents
for his interpretation on the affairs of Germany.
It is ft; moved that lie Is in possession of several
diplomatic pieces, S'hieh are not to be found iu
the yellow-book. It is 'stated with much per
taint.y that he has procured in Prussia the most
precise information as to the negotiations be
tween Herr von Bisinark and the Emperor at
Biarritz, aud on the ulterior fluctuations or
rather incertitudes of the French policy. The
Prussian Premier is said to have there distinct
ly offered a territorial cession to the Emperor
as the price oi the engagement, that France
would remain neutral, but H. M. declined these
Offers, saying that the policy of France was en
tirely disinterested, and that the only desire was
to see Venetia restored. After the treaty con
cluded between Prussia apd Italy, the Emperor
Napoleon entered into negotiations with Aus
tria for (he cession of that, province, and it was
on hearing that fact that Herr von liismark de
cided to bring matters to a crisis and carry the
Prussian armies forward by forced marches, so
as to forestall the consequences of an accord
between France apd Austria, for the cession of
Venetia to Italy.
THE WORLD’S FAIR.
The weather has of late gone crazy in Paris—
one day one might fancy one’s self in full May;
the next one finds one’s self shivering in the
clutches ot November. The consequence is that
La Grippe (Influenza) is all the fashion. How
ever, all those who are pot kept at home by the
unwelcome guest, sally forth to the Champ de
Mars to see the progress made in the works of
the Exhibition. All is bustla and activity :
hundreds of workmen, gardeners, masons,
bricklayers, carpenters, &c., are toiling away
unremittingly. One hears all languages and
sees all kinds of characteristic physiognomies ;
one feels that all the world is basily preparing
for the World’s Fair. It seems almost Impos
sible that things can be ready for the first of
April. There is no doubt but that the so-called
Park will be the most interesting part of the
Exhibition, it beipg most picturesque. As re
gards the main building, which is not unlike a
huge hippodrome, it may be very practical, and
well adapted for the systematic classification of
the multitudinous productions to he exhibited;
but, architecturally speaking, it cannot bo* sail
to have u single redeeming feature.

nomination of Gen. Thomas for the Presidency

to acknowledge my high appreciation of your
friendship, as well as of the complimentary
manner in which the resolution was received

But bei. g fully aware of my disqualification

therefore have to request that you will make

I remain most truly yours,

livery of some corn, a freedman, Adam Thomp
son, was called upon to give what information
he possessed, which he did thusly : “ I know

THK GREAT
American Blood Purifier !
THE QUEEN’S DELIGHT!
THE QUEEN’S DELIGHT, tho great Ameri
can Alterative and Blood Purilier, is the most pt-rfeett
vegetable compound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics
and diaphoretics ; making it. the most effective invig
orating, rejuvenating and blood-cleansing cordis i
known to the worhh
In introducing this new and extraordinary medicine
to the public, observation leads us to remark that too
little attention is paid to the “ life of all flesh,” the
blood. Many diseases, and, too many , complaints,
which have their origin in a vitiated state of the blood
are treated only as symptoms and results ; whereas if
the romedy hud been applied to enrich the blood and
render it pure, both cause and effect would have been
removed. The Queen’s Delight is off Vied to the
afflicted as a sure rt medy for those diseases arising
from an impure condition of the bio id. It has a diret;
and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently
renders the blood pure. It is said, on high authority,
that “ man no sooner begins to live than lie begins lo
die, and that the characteristics of the living organism
are ceaseless change and ceaseless waste.’ Ii j rt
obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless
the blood is pure, in supplying the waste tissues with
material, tt must bo the cause of innumerable lils and
constitutional disorders, such as Scrofula, Rheuma
tism, Hepatic Disorders, Consumption, Inflammations,
Fevers, Ac. Life and health is only to he maintained
by the circuiat on of pure arte riel flood.
We therefore advise every one whoso blood is in the
'.east vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose eon
tilution is impaired by disease and is suffering Jrom
IthcmatUm, Liver Complaint, Consumption, Scrofula
or King’s Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of
tho Skill, Erysipelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness
ot the Skin, Dimples, Blotches, I’ains in the Bones,
old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion,
Inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, I’ains in
the Back, General Debility, and for all complaints
arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to u-q
tho Queen’s Delight.
Females of delicate constitution, suffering from
weakness and depression of mind in consequence of
those complaints which nature imposes at the 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 beauly, but too soon become
blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of the
blood, will have the rich boon restored by using the
Queen’s Delight.
The unacclimated and persons traveling into warm
countries will And the Queen’s Delight a great protec
tion from all malarious affection and diseases whirl*,
originate in a change of climate, diet and life.
Thu oxtraordinary and unprecedented cures p<r
formed by the Queen's Delight Compound is attract
ing tho attention of every one, not only at home, but
abroad. The merits of this compound art- being felt
and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say oi
it in New York: “It is a remedy ot much importance
and value, exerting an influence over all the secre
tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known al
terative. It is extensively used in ~11 tlic various
forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections;
also iu scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in
which its use is followed by the most succetsful r
sultr.”
Its properties as a remedy were first introduced to
thenoticeof the profession by Dr. l'hos. Yonng Si
mons, of South C .ro’irm, as early as 182?, as a v alua
ble alterative remedy in syphilitic affections, and
others requiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons’state
ments have been indors'd and extended by Dr. A.
Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. 11. K Frost, of Charles
ton. From the reports in its favor, there seems n
reason to doubt tho efficacy of this medicine in Sec
ondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Dn'eas, .
Chronic Hepatic Affections and other complaints
bcnciiltod by alterative medicines.
