MEETING. North und South Carolins, Tennessee, Geor gia and Virginia Represented. Columbia Register. On the morning of the 3d, at 10.80, wo made our departure from Columbia in the elegant and comfortable coach, through the kind courtesy of Colonels Palmor and Dodamead, put at the dis Eosal of the invited guests from Colum bi. This party consisted of Governor Simpson, Mayor Stanley, Attorney Gen eral Youmans. cx-Gov. M. L. Bonham, Hon. Jos. Daniel Pope, Coi. F. W. Mc Mnster, T. D. Kline, Superintendent of tho Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Bond, Judgo Andrew Crawford, Major E. W. Seibels, Captain John S. Wiley, Alderman W. B. Lowrance, Gol. John T. Sloan, Jacob Muller, Esq., Justice J. Q. Marahall, P. B. Hngood, Joseph Daniel Popo, jr., L. D. Childs, ir., John P. Thomas, jr., John F. Sutpnon, Charles M, Tow. W. McB. Sloan and our hum ble se'* of the R?guler. Everybody 60cme bright and in for tho trip, and it was not long before we circulated into the car of tho old "City by the Sea," where wo found that veteran of the Chnraber of Commerce, President Sam'l Y. Tupper, supported by Col. Wm. L. Trcnbolm, Mr. John L. Sheppard and Bccciver Fisher, the representatives of tho city. We were glad to meet, too, Captain Post, of tho United States En Sincera, who was also in attendance. 'here were other gentlemen fromOharles* toa- who united with the Charleston rep resentation and creditably swelled tue list. Among them wore Messrs. E. T. Gaillard, P. T. Lawton, E. J. Gage and Major Av Vanderhost. We mude good time to Alston and took the SparLanburg and Union train with little or no delay, and, after a brisk and delightful run, taking on many friends at Union, we arrived at Spartanburg at 8.30 p. m. Leaving Spartanburg at 4 p. sn.., with four coaches and an ordinary road* en gl no. wo dashed away for the "Land of tho Sky." We made a delightful trip to the foo? of tho mountain poss and started np the ?teen ^ado at a slow pace and ?Crept along ono curve after another, when our iron UGVBQ "pished I" and after a "shawl" "shawl" "shawl" we came to a stand-still. Two of tho coaches were then chocked and the eogino took up tho two others quickly to Hie top of the grad? at Saiudu and returned for us. when we were soon swooned alongside and were otf atadaaV.ogspcM for Hendersonvillo, where we arrived como minutes boforo 8 o'clock p. m. Let it bo understood here that we had not the B. Y. MoAdon. the engine used for heavy work, or there would havo been no detention whatever. We beard bat one expression in connec tion with .thia feat of engineering in climbing the Blue Ridge. It is pro nounced on aU sides a wonderful BUCCCBS. Whenever the transportation and travel needs it, a fresh engine, kept at the foot Of tho grade, will enable any ir.-.in to climb the grade with perfect ease in fif teen or twenty minutes. With this ex ception, or for 65 miles of tho route from Spartanburg, there is no reason why 80 milos per hr.ar for express trains cannot bo ruado as safely as 15. Tho iron ls *-f?vy, tho trestles aro all short, aud the work substantial, so that when through travel calls for it three boura ls all tim time that need be consumed to make the tun from Spartanburg to Asheville. The South Carolina Boad by making ; connection from Columbia to Orange burg, as the crow flies, pver Ute beat of TOS? beda, makes a saving of at least 15 miles, thus avoiding the long expensive trestle through tho Santce swamp, and cutting the distance between this city and Charleston to 115 miles. Next, connect ing by a most admirable route, tho Spar . tanbnrg and Union Boad with Columbia, this can bs reduced to 85 miles, making tho distan?a from Charleston to Spartan bur? exactly 200 miles. This route, theuj would rcnutro from Charleston four hours to Columbia, and three thence to Spar tanburg, and thence ihre*! to Asheville . making in all ten hours. Adding two hours for stoppages on route makes twelve boura in all that will possibly bo required in tho run from Charleston to Asheville. ? Leaving Charleston, then, at 7 a. m. wo would arrive at Asheville at 7 p. m., with a distance of ?69 miles from the sea. Forty-two miles mot o carries us to Paint Bock, and 43 miles moro of completed rond, requiring five hours, including stop* pageSjjuuta us at Morristown.' 853 miles From Charleston, nt 12 o'clock at night. At this point wa ' ?e 8fr miles from Knox ville by tba Ea>J tennessee Boad and 40 miles from Cumberland Gap, where all tho Western roads will make connection with the great North Carolina'route to the ?ea. There is no reason, then, leav ing Charleston at 7 ti. m., why Knoxville una Cumberland Gap should not be made '. by 2.80 tho next morning, ?ud Louisville . afcrj[Cincinnati at 12.80 p. m. tho next nay, Through to Louisville or Cincin nati in 29 hour? and .80 minutes I This is whnt this great route means ; this ls \vthe great mcsi?Lg ir. Henderson villo meant; thia ia tb? high hopo that pulsates now from Charleston to Knox ville. Cincinnati and Louisville, nod ou* ward still to St. Louis, Evansville and Chicago. Tho ?ro?t cTtfonm of Hayno is rushing to a reality, and onlv $125,000 fe wanting to foot the bill, so far as we are consumed, and open the way from the Ohio to tho sea, which, all told, will ?ha Cid i J .. ; 1 a Charleston to Columbia...115 miles Columbia to 6nattanburg..?...- 85 " . --200 Spartanburg to Asheville.- 00 miles Asheville to Morristown........ 84 " Morristown to KnostUlo. 30 ?* -_ 192 Charleston to Knoxville...-802 Or to Cumberland Gap: Charleston to Spartanburg......200 Spartanburg toMorrlstOwn........163 Morriatowu to Cumberland Oap..40 803 Cumberland Gan to Louisville and Ctn? . .rfm^U......V....105 Charleston'to Lottisvitlo and ClncinnaU.JW8 What doe? this mean, when compared wltb the presont route : .

Patton's-COO yards from the court house -all that heart could wish, and presume others fared as well. Late in the night of the 3d parties were flying hither and thither for accommodation, some going to Flat Rock and lodging with Henry Fa: mer, the picture of good eating and good cheer. The moiling of the 4th was ushered in with the pomp and display of an oc casion never before witnesseelin Hender sonville. People carno thronging in from every direction nnd by every method, from a four-in-hand to thauksmarc. The yeomanry of the mountain region, accom panied by their bonnie lasses of Polk and Transylvania and Ru ucombe, flocked to the town. Asheville; renowned for the beauty of her belles and the accomplish ment of her sons, joined in thc growiug throng, and tho streets of the little town wore indee ! the appearance of a holiday. On reaching the ground, n beautiful shaelay hill near tho railroad station, we found already gathered a largo assem blage of people. AB the special train from Sparenburg and tho train from Charlotte approached, a aaluto waa fired from a small piece on the ground, whilst tho cheers of the assembled multitudo rang aloft, bespeaking tho kindly wel come of the assembled thousands. As noon as tho visitors left thc cars, Mr. Ewart, the Mayor of Henderson ville, received them with a kindly, graceful, spirited welcome, and was replied to by Col. R. Y. McAdden in bis own hearty, inimitable way. The procession then formed under the lead of T. W. Taylor, chief marshal ol tho day, and marched to tho stirring untes of the town band, tho Hag of the Union flapping to the breczo as thc real ly imposing ai .-ay wended its way to tho speaker's aland, on a shady knob within night of tho station. Hero lom; tubles b.ad been prepared for tho barbecue, and tho multitude wero invited to firo away and fall back all along tho line. Tins was dono with a gusto, and roasted sheen and shoat went tho way of such flesh faster than wo have Hcen it in all our ex perience. The barbecue dispatched, Col. McAllen welcomed tho visitors present and ex* pressed his great gratification ut the large assemblage of people who had responded to tho invitation extended to them. Marshal Taylor then introduced Gun. T. L. Olingman. Thc Gouorul made s brief but telling address, which begau with a glowing complirannt to tho ladies He unid that Jacob served so ven wear} ?eafa for a wife, but that those who hail cen interested in. tho opening of thh groat routo to the West had been callee upon to exercise Bevon times tho patience or tho patriarch. Tho groat Robert Y Hoyne forty-two yearn ago had bent al his energies to accomplish this groa work. Eight millions of dollar? hac been expended to achieve tho results ati former day. After tho most strenuon efforts ever mado by mau from 1836, Gen Hoyno, in June, 1842, rando a renor looking to ita abandonment. Ho (Cling man).liad attended tho session of tin Legislature in 1842 and urged with al hi:i might that the great scnemo Bhouh not be abandoned, and it was with sat heart ho had returned to his mountaii home after tho conclusion reached hy th Legislature at that tims tc make no fu: ther efforts for the prosecution of th work. Ho had continued to hope, hon over, for better things, and hence to-daj after forty-two years, he had como agai to -oin heart and hand ia thc work c carrying to a full consummation th dream of his young days. Gen. Cling man thon animadverted on the valuo ? tho road in a national point of view, an said tho climato was unsurpassed by S Moritz or Ticinio. He confidently be lievcd that tho completion of this rout would mako Charleston a great cit] which abo would have boon years ag had her own Hoyno lived to carry oi tho great dream of his life. Gen. Clint man here alluded to Gov. Jarvis, a ga lant officer of his brigade, and graceful! retired with the announcement that thi oificjr, now tho honored Governor ( North Carolina, would address tho ai semblago. Governor Jarvis carno forward amidi much applause. Ho baid it was with pi cu'?ar pleasure and gratitude bc witnessc the enthusiasm of the vast assemblai: beforo hi in, connected as it was with tl birthday oz American liberty. Wo ha ossombfed, however, not only from tl promptings of proud patriotism, butais with ono heart and mind, to givo a bel] ing hand to tho completion of a gre: connection with tho wide and fruit fi West, which now atood so near compl Hon ' os to leave no further doubt as tho practical character of tho groat ui dertaliing. "I proclaim," said tho Governor, "ll so far as North Carolina is cone *. her courso shall bo onward. (Great a plauso.) Long and patiently have v waited for this tho day of commorci deliverance, and now that we are in stone's throw of tho prize, North Car lina and North Carolinians will not sti the helping hand to tho great wor (Applause.) This ia an occasion in whit North Carolina, South Carolina, Tonne Bee, Georgia and Virginia are united, ai it waa with peculiar pleasure I dischar] the duty as Governor of North Carolii to extend for her tho most cordial we come to tho sister States assembled b fore me. Tho reign of penco I trust is hand when'wo shall win fcreat and la; ing victories and choose that better ni which ahnll not ?,e taken from us." "ll Excellency thon, with much warmth, c tended the wclcomo of the State to Gc Simpson, of South Carolina. After tho performance of tho H?nde sonvillo and Spartanburg Silver Corr Rands, which waa greatly enjoyed by t multitude, Governor Simpson stepped the front and waa received with a mi responsive cheer from the assembly ai the platform. Ho said: When Moi reached tho b* ul a of *he Jordan he sc out spies into *f:o land of premiss, tl they should behold the fatness there Wo have not como, fellow-citizens North Carolina, to any out your land possess it aa did the Israelites of old, \ to rejoice with you in beholding yo beautiful and bountiful mountain regie where your health tul climate blushes ?'our cheeks and the abundance of ye anda ia displayed in tho wido hospital which has spread these far-atretchi tables around ua and covered them w tho rich and juicy flesh of your flocks a the bread of your own hill-eidea & valleys. I came here, fcllow-citize rather a? a spectator, to behold and? joy all this fair sceno before mo, tb participate in tho proceedings of the d but your committee of arrangeme thought otherwiso, and as I always hi mads ita rule in life to do, I answer OOR( X oar*, vua ufmrouu in au o upun mo a fellow-citizen of a common country a as the Governor of South Carolina, ye nearoBt sister acroas tho border.

The signera of tho Mccklenbi eclaration have tho right to claim I honors of this day. It can never be ( Kitten that *he men of Mecklenburg .e- way in tho glorious path of di \vhfch American freemon can uever, T nt* er, forego. [Applause and checi ,f.Z wo across tho border celebrate our 2J bf June, when tho British mon-of-*. retired before our reeling ramparts ab! with resistless ardor of Carolina frccro 8?, again, wo col ob rave. the. 22d pf F roary, tho birthday of our first and.? our grcatcatPrcsiuent, tho Father of l?vntry. onese days ahouid never j forgotten, It ia wiso, it is good for us that wo should como together with < mind and heart on euch occasions i Peace bas its triumphs as well as war, and this work, which is opcnirg a great link with the affluent West, ic just one of the triumphs sufficient to awaken tho pride and gladden the heart of any peo Ele. A half century ago Hayno and IcDuffie, with others, inaugurated this I grand ?cheme. What these men of gen erous and burning patriotism failed to achieve io their day and generation our Duncan and your Coleman and McAden, and Georgia s Austell, and Union and Spartanburg, Henderson und Duncombe have gloriously accomplished in our day! [Great and repeated applause.! For, surely, ?uroly, fellow-citizeiiB, what is so nearly don? now, with every difficulty and doubt put behind UH, will not now bo j deserted in thc moment of final triumph. Your Governor has said that North Car olina will not desert tho good work, and South Carolina will not bo found want ing. IGrent applause) Tho Governor then u?v>'t at some lengthen the great natural source? of progress, agriculture, commerce and tho mechanical art -, and insisted that there could be no true pro gress when these three factors of national strength moved not harmoniously to gether. Ho then concluded in a fine ap peal to tho blessings of peace-saying with linc voice and much fervor: If I had thc voice of in archangel and could reach over these swelling mountain ranges billowing un around UH, I would proclaim it to all my countrymen in every section of this wtdo Union, on this thc birthday of American liberty, peace on cnrtli and good will to man us ?bc one good thing above nil others nee ifni amongst th" cons of this great land, where it is only to will it for our people to bo freo and happy to their remotest posterity, omi where it is only necessary to pursue tho peaceful industries of lifo with the ardor our people huvo ever ex hibited in the field tr uko UH tho rich est as well as the ireest people ever known to history. The Governor sat down in a burst of applause, and his re marks seemed to have been universally admired. Ex-Governor Souter, of Tennessee, waa then introduced and made a most busi ness-like, sensible and able speech. Ht: sahl ho had como GOO miles to reach Henderson'Mo, a little over eighty mile* from where ho resided. Ho had come from tho daughter of North Carolina tc join with tho motlier on this auspicious occasion, when tho men who had shoul dered this great work wero casting nboul for tho ready means to push thu whoh matter to a final consummation. Tin speaker said : As tho daughter ol' tho ole North State wc want you to take us bael to tho bosom of our old mother. (Ap ?lause.) And we want you to do it now t is useless to tell tho men who bavt achieved what I saw, in coming hen through the mountain passes, how to di it. They will find tho way out of thi present snap. They will not consent t< stand still now, almost in sight of tin ?reut objective point of all their effort;: cumo to tell you, he said, that wo wil meet you ut tho border of Tennessee, ant that you may rely upon th h ns an acccm plished fact. When you tap tho graneries of th gvcat West and make thin, as it is, th uatural line of transportation and travc between tho South and Wes:, a now da and n new lifo shall bavo como to yo and to us. Wo aro hero to-day to ahoi our sympathy it: thc great work and i assure you from Tennessee that our pai shall bo dono to meet you as you com to ur., and that you may accept this a? suranco with perfect confidence. Judj> Moses will read certain comrnunicatioi; from important railroad meu of our sci tion for which I ask a hearing, (uv Sontcr was listened to with profound a tention throughout, and tho practici character of his remarks gave grci satisfaction. Judgo John L. Moses then enmo fo ward and assuring tho public of tho ni thoritutivc forco of the writots rend se' ernl communications. Judge G. D. Fowles, of North Carolin was introduced and mado an ornate m dress, in which he paid a handsome cor ?liment to Vance, Itnnsom, Hampton ar titler, Ho concluded with a rema which was cheered to tho echo, that ] Y. McAden might go to bed to-nig conscious of having achieved a gre work. President S. Y. Tupper, of tho Charle ton Chamber of Conamore?, was then 1 traduced. Ho was handsomely receive and listened to with great attention. I said : I havo come among you for the fi i time to breathe your mountain air, ai gladly would I cateh inspiration frc your bracing air and beautiful scenery speak in fitting terms of the wouue'rl work you havo performed. Wheu y raiso an obelisk upon the mountain tho memory of Hayne, McDuQie a Gadsden, Charleston claims tho privile of contributing a block in honor of t living heroes Duncan and McAden, w aro pushing on the work they so ucl began. (Immonca applause.) We t told that all Frenchmen, when they d ?o straight to Paris. As a Charleston ii may as well assume, therefore, that your roads, when completed lead straij to Charleston. (Laughter t.. d npplaus Charleston hus much at stake in tl enterprise. I regret that under her pr ent embarrassments 8he can offer but 1 tie pecuniary assistance at this tin The man who advocates railroad app priations in that city, in tho faco of hes taxation, a largo municipal debt and I millions we have sunk already in ruilrc enterprises, must encounter some ob quy, and tho opposition of small noli cians and ofllco-seekcrs. But I will vi ture against that sort of censure. I vt go bace to Charleston and toll tho peo; of this majestic spectacle among t mountains to-day ; of tho thousands tl havo assembled to cheer on this work which Charleston is to be quickened s built up. And I will then ask them mako some sacrifice, and even part tv some of their possessions, if necessa to complete this connection with ! West. But I bring you now the ho and greetings of e. kindred people, bot to you by ties of blood and a comn destiny ; a people so lately impovcrisl by war, and but slowly advancing towa prosperity. Thev comuerid your ene aud pray that this connecting link tween tho West and South Atlantic n be speedily accomplished. You have before you one at least v has advocated your cause and belie in the consummation of it. It is r tho only practicable route by which seaboard and the West can bo uni! and so impressed upon me was this be that a year ago I referred to it in communication wbiob I had tho hr*: o mako to tho committee on commerc tho .United States Senate whou nra the appropriation for Charleston bari We are preparing in Charleston to n you. It is your natural outlet to the Our railroad will shortly be extenden the water's edge and its freight will brought within the reach of the sh tackles ; and as the general governu is now nt work in earnest, deepening bar and harbor, tho largest merchanti and steamers in tho world wilt soot Able to enter our port in safety. About $30,000,000 havo been invet in Charleston lo presses, warchou banka and railroads for the accommt tion of commerce. I did intend going Into some statis and figures showing which ls the ahoi route to Cincinnati, and how muc would be for your advantage to ti with Charleston. But in the preaonc these fair ladies I have not the heai .do it. I would ss soon repeat the mi plication table or cipher out a sut long division as expect to interest t! over a table of rall road distan ces.

It was to be remembered to the enduring honor of Union County, though no part of the Spartanburg and Asheville Road would touch her border, yet she initiated the work with a subscription of $160,000. it is true Spartanburg, Henderson and Buncombe have done nobly, but all must yield the palra to Union. (Applause.) Again it must bo said but for Maj. Cole man, whose genius scaled the mountains, thc road would never have reached suc cess. Therefore, to this great, <arnest, modest child of genius, tue son of your own soil, we como to do honor accn-<ling to bis uuqucstiouod merits. ( Wild cheers for Coleman, and much applause.) Thc Hon. J. M. Leach here came for ward and made ouo of those rich, ready and rare addresses peculiar to him arid very satisfactory to large assemblies. He said his name was attached to every bill for internal improvements that had ever passed ;i North Carolina Legislature, and ho had sustained this road with all his tuight. Now bc was prepared to say that it must go on. There was no other thing to say about it, and .ho was reminded of tho story ol' '.lie tittle boy who was found gouging in a gopher hill with n sharp stick. Timo and again he was udvised of tho fruitlessness of his tusk. At last when he had been many times exhorted to desist he said : "I'll bo sure to get him ; I must get him; by thunder, I must get him; for if I don't, we won't have any meat ut home." (Burstof laughter.) Now, this is just thc way it stands with the mutter of finishing this road. We must do it or there will be no meat in the fam ily. (Much laughter and applause.) And when you see McAden nt tho end of a sharp stick scratching for tho means to do it, you may bc sure, my fellow-citizens, that the gopher meat is sure to come. (Laughter and applause.) The General went on, muking telling hits, all meaning business as well as fun all the time, and at times coupled with pathos and eloquent bursts, which roused applause in every direction Attorney General Youmans, of South Carolina, W?? then introduced,and made a beautiful address, in which be recount ed tho triumphs of physical science. He spoko of Hay ne os a martyr to thc great work,,dying nt Asheville just before tho scheme was abandoned. Ile snid South Carolina had spent millions for roads and Charleston had spent ber treasuro like water for connections with tho interior. Whatever the great West may now do, then, in completing the work so nobly begun with us-whatever of rich products ?ho might send to our shores-we shall give back to tho Northwest a more pre cious dowry than bride ever gave bnde ?room--a brood and beautiful harbor, tere tho speakor alluded in most appro priate and complimentary terms to Capt. J. C. Post, now engaged in tho workB of Charleston harbor. Ex-Governor Bonham, when intro duced, said briefly ho had not come to indulge ia a speech. He wished simply to be present on the interesting occasion. I He waa glad to be hero and to know that [ South Carolina had done her duty in this ! matter. Chicago had promised, if we I Bhould build ibo road to Cumberland I ?2^.. ?~ ..- ?V. j'l ? SHCv? i?u -uno, Col. R. Y. McAdeu was introduced and welcomed with . heera. Ho said it was hardly fair to mako him build the road and then put doublo duty on him in spccch-raak?ng besides. Coleman, by his i genius, had not only brought us over the mountains, but ho had advanced his pro fession twenty years by the work. When they bad undertaken this work it was a very doubtful achievement from every point of view. In less than five years they had mastered cvory difficulty, and all was now plain sailing. Only $125,000 was wanting to go to Asheville only 9J miles of grading was necessary and that over tho smoothest section ot road. The cry HOW was: Shall tho road go on? What nays North Carolina? What says South Carolina? What says Charleston? These arc questions which must now bo answered. There was no time to lose. We muBt go on, and for ono he was pre fiarcd to say it must and shall go on. Great cheering and applause.) N. H. Buabeo, Esq., of Raleigh, N. O., was then introduced and spoko at some length in a spirited address, touching tho day aud the occasion. Mr. John W. R. Pope, of the l?eg?ter. was introduced by Gen. Clingman, aucl spoko briefly, os follows : He did not consider this an occasion for rhetoric or Ano talking at all. It was an occasion for facts and business. Facts always meant what they said ond said what they meant.

That was tho livo issue now? The glori ous past is H srrcat matter ; tho pressing demands of tho present greater. What can you do in this matter? That's the question now. and "that's what's the matter with Hannah," now. Never was thcro an occasion in which the old max im was moro pertinent, "Ho gives twice who quickly gives." Gen. Clingntnn thanked the audience for their attention and decorum, and tho meeting was among the things that were. Wo cnn only add that ii was a great suc cess, and tho? no less than 8,500 people wore present. Tho Nature of a Miracle* A priest, after vainly trying to explain tho nature of a miracle to a doubting Irishman, suddenly stopped, kicked him, and asked, "Did you feel that?" "Yes," said tht> Irishman. "If you hadn't," re Bumed tho priest, "it would have been a miracle." Thus argument, aometimes fails to convinco, though every objection be fully answered. Like stubborn are tho few who vet doubt the efOoacv of Dr. Pierce's Fa?r'iv Medicines. Positive proof of merit nas repeatedly been ad vanced. Testimonials from prominent cit? izens in nearly every town in North America havo been published, certifying to the doctor's sincerity, honesty, ana su Serior skill. Why longer doubt? If af icted with a cold, cough, bronchitis, consumption, or any scrofulous disease or humor. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery will effect your speedy cure. Givo no hoed tc what some unsuccessful phy sician, or healthy and "skeptical" neigh bor may say. Decide for yourself. J. A. Alexander, M. D., of Broadway, Va., writes that ho has thoroughly tested Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines in an exten sive practico, and has found them to possess ouporior merit, and to do all that was claimed for them. Ho further says that a copy of tho People's Common Sense Medical Adviser should bo in every bouse. - "Ah, yes," said Mrs. Partington, ! some years ago on the 22d of February as sho saw the military pass by.

OA!N ir. tho right side, limier the I edge of '.lie ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in thc left side; thc patient is rarely able to lie on the left si.le ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; thc bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a didi, heavy sensation in thc back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing whit !.. ought to have been done. :\ slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would bc beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
