SPEECH OF MINISTER JOHN80J? AT LEEDS.
LOSTOS, September 23.-Mr. Johneon, the
American Minister, in reply to an address pre?
sented by the town council of Leeds, yester?
day, said there were but few differences be?
tween England and the United States, and
these unimportant because they could be ami?
cably adjusted without tarnishing the honor
of either country. He boped for a speedy set?
tlement of these difierences, and should de?
voto all his energies to that end. He would
regret ii either, in coming to an agreement,
should suffer in its own opinion or that of the
world. The United States would certainly do
nothing to detract from its own reputation,
and he knew Great Britain would not tarnish
her honor.

and 2d. of .this month were duly received.
Too do me injustice m supposing, as your sec- J
ond note Intimates, that I have been wanting |
in courtesy -or kindness in failing to reply to
the first. What you desired me to do in that
was to call your case to the attention of Lord
Burnley. He was then on the continent, and
did not return until last evening. As soon as
. I can obtain an interview with him I will bring
your'matter to his attention, and lose no time
in advising you o? the result. I had supposed
that you Hew me too well to think for a mo?
ment that I could be indifferent to the rights
or interests of any American citizen. And
hoping that I may prove this in your instance,
I remain. Very respectful! v, your obedient ser?
vant, BEVEBDT JOaNSON.

notice of Adah Isaacs Menken's poems, says:

and she only dismounted the fleet steed o' the

[FBOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
COLUMBIA, September 24.
The legislative proceedings to-day do not
demand a detailed account, but there are sev?
eral incidente and events which will bear com?
ment. The transactions of tho Senate to-day
were of a more lively and entertaining charac?
ter than those of the House, and, accordingly,
I piid more particular attention than usual to
that grave and reverend body. At least two
objectionable measures were thrown overboard
there for this session. The first was the Mili
t?a bul a document of two hundred sections,
providing for the establishment of a standing
army to crash out the liberties of the people.
The manser of the defeat of this measure
shows of how gre* t value even a small Dem o
cratic minority can sometimes be. The bill had
passed the House, and had been read once in the
Senate to-day, bat could not he taken np for
a second reading without unanimous consent.
Unless it was read the second time to-day
there was not time enough left to pass it before
the day fixed for adjournment. Mr. bums,
Democratic senator from Lancaster, objected
to the reading, and the bill had to he over.
Another attempt waa made to take it np this
afternoon, but Mr. Biemann, Democratic sena?
tor from Pickens, was on the watch, and he
objected, and BO the bill ia defeated for this I
session, when, but for the presence of theso j
Democrats in the Senate, this infamous mea j
mri) might have become a law. The other j
measure Wiled was the absurd bill requiring j
the Governor to release all convicts who had i
been confined in the penitentiary for more
than six months for larceny, and for ai}, ex tra- I
ordinary length of time tor other offences,
forbin, who monopolizas all the legal wis
lom of the Senate, said that the title^of Uta
bill was enough to kill it, and he therefore
moved to lay it ofi the table, which was
?greed to. . .
Another bill, involving a large and useless
yutlay of money, also carno to an end to-day
mrongh a disagreement between the Senate
ind House. This was the bill to provide for the
revision and consolidation of the laws. It was
i matter of soft places which bad been fore?
seen by certain parties so far back as the ses?
sion of the Reconstruction Convention, and
ney inserted a provision in the constitution
requiring the Legislature at its first session to
nake provision for the revision and consolida
don of the laws. ? bill was accordingly intro
luoed in the Senate for this purpose, passed
ind sent to the House. It was there referred
o tbe Judiciary Committee, who made no re
?rt on it, bat introiuoed a bill Of their own
or the same purpose. This bill was passed
ind sent to the Senate, and the Senate
unended it so as to be the same
ts their original bill. The House re?
used to concur in the amendments, and a
committee ot conference and a committee of
ree conference -ave both failed to effect an
agreement. The Senate proposition is to au?
torizo the Governor to appoint a commission?
s', who shall have power to appoint an assist?
ait-the expectation being that Scott will ap?
point Corbin, and that Corbin will choose Gov?
ernor Orr as his assistant. The House rropo
iition is to elect three commissioners, the ex?
pectation being that Corbin aud Whipper and
perhaps Wright will be elected. The commis?
sioners are to get $4000 salary each, and to
bave $6000 for expenses. The places are not
to be sneezed at, and Whipper wants ono of
them. Corbin don't want him to have it. The
majority of the Senate back Corbin. The ma?
jority of the House back Whipper. Hence the
difficulty. It is to be hoped that nothing will
resurrect this swindle this session, and that
before the next the election of Seymour and
Blair will convince the mongrels of the folly of
attempting further to Yankeeism the laws of
South Carolina.
Some debate occurred on the bill to provide
For the transient poor, which might more prop?
erly be entitled a bill to provide that encour?
agement for lazy freedmen tb wander about the
country, which has hitherto been supplied by
the Freedmen's Bureau. Wright openly sup?
ported the ball on the ground that it provided
for freedmen compelled to wander about in
search of employment. It was opposed by the
Democrats, who succeeded in reducing the ap?
propriation from $25,000 to $15,000.
Y. J. P. Owens made a speech to-day, which
deserves to be recorded, not on account of th?*
merit of the speech, but from the astonishing
fact that the distineuished senator opened his
month. A bill to allow the Governor to be
temporarily absent from the State whenever he
deemed it necessary, *as np for consideration,
and Dlr. Owens addressed himself to it logical?
ly and eloquently as follows: "Mr. President, I
hope that bill won't pass, sir; we want a Gov
arnor here. I don't see how we are a going to
do without one. I hope the bill won't pass,
sir." Notwithstanding this powerful argument,
the bill passed its second reading.
Nash introduced a resolution to go into an
election for State Librarian and Keeper of the
State Hoone, both of which offices are now
held by that worthy gentleman, Major Starke.
Nash said bethought they oaght to be given
to good Republicans. Wright said that the
Senate chamber was no place to discuss poli?
tics; that the present incumbent performs
ed his duties faithfully, that he could be
trusted until the regular session, and by that
[ time Grant would be elected, and Major 8.
would be a pood Republican, and they would
keep him in office indefinitely. Nash saw
there was no cbaooe for his resolution, so he
withdrew it, and explained his reasons in a
humorous speech, which kept the Sonate
aughing for half an hour.
The following is a choie? extract from Nash's
speech : " Here is my constituency from Co?
romby hab been standing round me eber since
de beginning ob de session wid dere mouths
gaping wide open expectin me to gib em some
thin. Dey habn't got nothing de whole ses?
sion, xiow I wanted ter wind up de close ob
my glorious career here dis session by gittrn
jus one little vacant office for Columby, an I
thought I was about to git de Senate to throw
a cherry into the gaping mouth of my constitu?
ency, and now you turn roun and spit in it.
Yon say it is too close de een ob de session. 1
kep dis resolution back to de een ob de session
on purpo8o, because I want ter spring it on
d?se gemmen sadden. I want to surprise
dem into givrng Bomethin to Columby. Why,
if yon pospone em to de next session,
Charleston will be hero, Georgetown will
be here, Darlington will be here, Kingstree will
be here, and, for all I know, Massachusetts
will be here too, and Columby won't stand no
showin at all. Some yon gemmen say d 11 cte
man what got de office now is a good man. I
know he is a good man. But dat aint de ting.
He is good only till yon Sad some friend o'
yourn to take de place. Den you say, 'We
want dat place, we most bab dat plage, dat
man's head mos fall; and I know it will fall,
but not in de basket ob any my constituency
ob Columby.' I did want mighty bad to git
eomethin for Columby, bat I see I aint go in git
DothiD, so I withdraw the resolution. I hope,
do, in de excitement ob de Presidential elec
tial election, yon will forgit dis one little va?
cant office, so I can spring 'em on you agin at
de first ob de' regular session, and den ma' be
I kin git it fur Columby arter all."
The resignation of B. F. Whitemore, M. G.,
from his aeat in the Senate was read Inst
as that body was about to adjourn. Whitte
more requested that it might take effect from
the 19th instant, having written it before that
time, and, doubtless, thinking that the Senate
would adjourn before that date and that he
could not decently hold on the six dollars per
day any longer. The Senate accepted the re -
8?gnation at once, but not without an effort on
the part of one of Whittemore's friends to de?
lay the acceptance to the last day of the ses .
sion, so that he might make the last possible
dime.
In the House, in a discussion on the salary
bill, great objection was made to allowing the
treasurer's clerk one thousand eight hundred
dolSars. W. J. McKinlay said that if the Legis?
lature had elected an incompetent treasurer
they ought to get nd of him, and not pay a
clerk one tboasaad eight 1-undred dollars to do
his work and conceal his incompetency. It is
thought that the treasurer is making his per
cen tage oat of the per dian and mileage-(. e.,
that he is paid a commission by To leson and
others to secure them against loss. It is
known that ho has charged officers a commis?
sion on their salaries, and this, coupled with
;he fact that he paid the draft of the Ser
geant-at-arms of the House, signed by the
Speaker only, without tho signature of the
President of tho Senate, as required by law,
makes members dis trust ful of him.
Whipper introduced a bill tata the House to
punish lawyers for prosecuting claims for
debts, the considerition of which was the pur?
chase of slaves.
The Township bill is a conspiracy to Yankee -
ize Sooth Carolina. The frequent occurrence
in it of "selectmen," and other Yankee terms,
is enough to turn one's stomach.
The '?Sinew? of War I"
TO THE ED ITOE OF THE NEWS.
In modern elections as in modern wars, tho
contest is frequently decided in favor of the
party whose purse is the longest and most
freely nsed. The calls for money to provide
for the legitimate and necessary expenses of a
campaign are almost endless, yet the large
mass of the people, especially in the country
districts, look to a few of the leaders and aspi?
rants for office, to provide all the money that
may be used. In a contest like the present,
in which principles affecting the material pros?
perity of each and every individual are in?
volved, and in which few if any oa:i look for
office to reward them for the sacrifices they
may make, dependence must be had on gene?
ral contri butions. The members of the execu?
tive committees of the various district clubs
experience the utmost difficulty ia indi.a g
any of the members to assist. So much so,
that measures which ought to be adopted
have to be neglected, and thus the success of
tbe cause is imperilled.
In view of the probable closcnois of the con?
test between Seymour and Gran', aau the pos?
sibility that the six doctoral votes of South
Carolina may decide tue gime in favor of one
or the other party, and that the judicious ex?
penditure of a small amount of money in each
precinct might tarn the scale and relieve us
not only of the incubus of negro supremacy,
bat of the intolerable system of taxation that
now oppresses the masses for the benefit of a
few, it behooves every man, however limited
his means may be, to offer his mite to the
cause, without waiting to be importuned and
solicited by committees or individuals.
Nor ehould such contributions be looked on
as gifte or money thrown away, but as invest?
ments which would be returned to him a hun?
dred-fold, by his being relieved from taxation,
direct and indirect, and by the increased pros?
perity of the country enabling him to earn two
dollars where he now earns one. -
Few persons ever trouble themselves to
think ot the enormous Bams exacted from the
South, under the present administration of the
government, to swell the coffers of the rieb
citizens of tbe North. As the South has been
impoverished and desolated by the war, it is
held that the North has to pay the taxes. So
the; do, just as the merchants or the manu?
facturers pay sums which are reimbursed to
them by their customers.
For a single item, look at the tax we are ply?
ing for the ase of a circulating medium under
the existing By Kt em of national banks. Think
for a moment how many Southern bank bills
have ever passed through your hands ? Have
you ever seen one ? Now money is not loaned
without interest being paid for it. Some one
has to pay the interest. Who is it? As a
matter ef course, those who uso the money.
If we are not mistaken, before (Le war $8,000,
000 was required in this State to furnish a
circulating medium for the people. We will,
therefore, suppose that $3,000,000 are now re-,
quired. The average rate of interest paid for
this paper money bas probably exceeded ten
per cent. Consequently $300,000 has to be
drawn annually from the hard earnings of our
people to pay this interest, and a largo pro?
portion goes into the pockets of the Puritani?
cal New Englander.
Rhode Island bas seventy-seven dollars bank
circulation foi each inhabitant, and Massachu?
setts fifty-five dollars. No wonder they can
roll up such heavy Republican majorities, and
are willing to contribute largely to keep up
each a system.
This is but one instance in a hundred which
might be mentioned of the means resorted to
by the crafty politicians of the Republican
party to foster their own in crests at the ex?
pense of others. But a few years ago we de?
nounced boldly and loudly the injustice of
taxine us to pay the bounties offered to the
New England fishermen as bei.ig sectional in
its character. That policy is now extended in
a hundred directions.
To relieve ourselves it is necessary to have a
change at Washington. In thia viow the black
man has an interest in Seymour's election as
well as the white man, and were prooer means
taken to enlighten them, the large proportion
would vote with tho Dem?crata. Away'fro n
large towns, railroad lines and centres of the
Loyal Leagues, the blacks are not as rank
Radicals as man; suppose. Ia conversation
with* them it will be found that they are dis?
appointed in not having received some direct
and tangible benefit from their former voting,
and could easily be persuaded to remain away
from the polls. Thousands of them live on
plantations which ore five, ten or fifteen mites
from the polls. The walk there and ba.-k is
long and tiresome, and unless s trou ply urged
by their leaders, many would not, for to
them an abstract idea, take the trouble to
vote.
How easy, then, it would be for tho farmers
to get up a little dinner or frolic-fer their em?
ployees and their black neighbors OD the day
of the election, and thus materially diminish
their vote. The chances of success for the De?
mocratic party would bo vastly enhanced if
each white man who could control five or more
negro men would remain vntb them on that
d <y, and at the same time urging all other
whites to go and cast their vote3,
There are about 60,000 white voters in the
State to 80,000 blacks. The largest vote cast
as vet by the Republican party is less than
71,000, and that was when little or no exertion
was made by the Democrats. If 2000 whites,
by absenting themselves from tbe polls, could
keep back on an average five black voters each,
it is not improbable that there will be a suffi?
cient number of others of the newly enfran?
chised who will vote the Democratic ticket, and
thus enable us to cast the six electoral votes of
South Carolina for Seymour and Blair.
Tho A ot ional Labor Congress in New
fork.'
At the session on Tuesday of the National
Labor Congress, Mr. L. A. Hine, of Loveland,
Ohio, moved for a committee of five to con?
sider the question of taxation, prefacing bis
motion with an address showing how the male
adults of this country were divided, and how
unequallv the Income of the country was dis?
tributed by the system al present in operation.
Excluding the Southern States, a ad estima?
ting the i ovulation of the rest of tue country
at 28 800,000. he thought the division might
stand properly as follows : the moneyed olass
440,000; the middle clase 1710.000; the wages
class 2,750.000. Total 4,900,000. Thus it was
seen that the wages class bear 28 per cent,
greater than the sum of both the other classes.
The speaker then went on to argue that as
things stood the bondholders and the capital?
ists had it all their own way. His speeoh
occupied tbe time of the convention down to
one o'clock, when a recess was taken till three
o'clock, in nrder to give the committee oppor?
tunity to report.
On reassembling the Committee on Ways
an i Means reported that they had received a
paper from the Woman's Suffrage Association
notifying them that Elizabeth Cady ?itanton
bad been appointed a delegate. The commu?
nication was signed by Mrs. Horace Greeley,
Susan B. Anthon?, Elizabeth C. Stanton and
Abby Hopper Gibbons. The committee re?
ported that they were^inable to decide on the
credentials, as they were not from a labor or?
ganization.
The debate on this question was long and
rather warm, and was participated m by large
numbers, among whom was Mrs. Stanton her?
self, whose remarks were received with great
applause.
The yeas and nays were then called for on
the question whether Mrs. Anthony snould be
admitted as a delegate. Many ot the dele?
gates, as their names were called, arose and
explained why they voted as they did. The
excitement was great, and many of the mem?
bers strew quite warm d?nnt? the balloting.
Mrs. Stanton's credentials were accepted by
a large majority. Nearly all of the leading
delegates and officers voted for her admis?
sion.
A long debate on the subject of strikes ensu?
ed, the prevailing opinion being that strikes
would decrease in number ts co-operation be?
came more general.
NEW YOKE, September 23 - At the National
Labor Congress to-day, a resolution was adopt?
ed io form a National Labor Reform party tor
political purposes, to advance the interests of
working men of tho country. A committee of

upon the working men of the United States to
vote for no man for office who was not pledged
to sustain the Natioual Labor Unioo.
A Singular Case-A Corpse Sita np in
ned and Aterrea Its Limbs.
[From the Houston (Texas) Times, September 12.]
A good deal of talk has boca excited by the
following singular circumstance on the other
side of the Bayou : On Thursday night, at an
early hour, a carpenter, who hal been in ill
health for some timo past, to all appearances
died. There was not a sign of animation left;
he was pronounced dead by his attending phy?
sician, was dressed in his grave clothes and
laid out for burial. His friends in Galveston
were telegraphed to come up and attend his
funeral. It was ahouf eight P. M. when he
was pronounced dead, and preparations began
for his burial. About daybreak yesterday
morning he suddenly rose up in his bed, with?
out bavins given, up to that time, a single
indication of life. He was unable to speak,
pulseless, cold, and, with the exception
that he was able lo sit upright sod
move his arms and hands, still appeared a
corpse. Not the faintest respiration could be
discovered, nor did tho eyes, though open,
give any indication of anything but death.
H.s physician was immediately sent for, who,
on entering the room, was utterly befuddled at
the singular case. Restoratives, stimulants,
and everything else likely to be of service,
were applied, but the breath refused to return.
The muscular power to lise in tho bod and
move the limbs continued, and was exercised
frequently during five hours, when that also
apparently ceased forever, and tbe carpenter
was lett as perfect a specimen of a corpse as
could poBsibly.be. Has such a case-as it has
been related tous, andas we have told it to
our readers -ever been heard of before ? About
mid-day yesterday he wai buried. Was he
alive when Le rose in his bed ? Probably
not.
We may be violating the sense of delicacy
due to the friends and relatives of the subject
of this notice, but the case ia so singular we
think we are justified in saying that we heard
that deceased-if ho bo deceased-had latoly
been drinking verv hard.
4 II *m .? ?
THE NEW YOBK DB? GOODS TBADE.-The
New York Express, of Monday evening, thus
speaks of the dry goods trade:
The dry goods trade to-day is dall and fever?
ish. There is a fall on some of tho leading
qualities of bleached muslins. Te-day's
prices for Now York Mills are twenty-five cents,
WdCisuttas twenty-two cents and a half, Bart?
lets fourteen cents and a half a fifteen cents,
bunnyside thirteen a thirteen and a half cents.
Still 'there is not any change in the prices of
the balau.cf of the different lines, ona buyers
do not seem to take hold of goods with any
more vigor than they did last wees, lt is evi?
dent that the buyers bave the best of the mar?
ket, and that the manufacturers, as well as
importers, will have to still further modify
their figures before there wdl be a really good
and healthy fall trade. In the meantime, we
notice that,"silks, particularly the lower grades
of plain blacks, are advancing and scarce in
the market, wbile the higher grades of those
goods are very firm. Linens also very 'firm,
and at an advance of fully ten per cent, on the
finer grades of these goods. Fronch dress

A DUEL ON fl OESEBACK.-The Corpus
Christi Advertiser has the particulars ot a
bloody and fatal pffray which took olace at
Oakville, on the 22d ult. between Mr. Hender?
son Williams and Sic Brown, about some
beeves that were turned into a herd against
the wish of Mr. Williams. Some angry words
occurred at first, which culminated m the
drawing of weapons, which were heavy dra?
goon six-shooters. Both parties being mount?
ed, at eacu Buccessive snot they charged up
closer to their dreadful work. The firing was
rapid and tho combatants became enveloped
in the tirrike of th ir weapons, which lapped
together on the last round. Mr. Brown's fir?
ing was wild. ow.ncr, no doubt, to the fact that
he received a mortal centre shot from Wil?
liams' first fire, although he sat on his horse
firmly, until shot tue third time through the
body, wbiob, entering the heart, he fell a
corpse on tho instant. Williams.was rnhurt,
but his horse was shut in the head, and was
fractious and unruly during the fight. Both
parues bad nu bers of w ll armed friends on
the ground, but no assistance or interference
was offered, and the issue wau fairly and
squarely tested.'
Items of State News.
-Tho caterpillar has made its appearance in
several parts of E ?gefield District; bat so far
as we can learn, its ravages have not been very
serious.
-A falal rencontre occurred near Crim's
store, on Cloud's Creek, in Edgefield District,
on Saturday last, between Air. Wade Padgett
and a young man by the Dame of Corley, which
resulted in the death of the former.
-Charlie danton, an interesting lad, aged
about fifteen years, a son of Mr. J. W. Glan ton,
living near Cold Springs, in Edgefield District,
lost his life on Saturday last by the accidental
discharge of his gun, while he and a cousin of
his were ont hunting on his father's premises.
-The Chester Standard says : "The City by
the Sea"-gallant old Charleston-is giving
notice to the interior of the State that the fall
trade is about to open, and she wiahes to be
"counted in." We hope every section of the
State will show a substantial appreciation of
her business capabilities."
-The Bennetteville Journal says: "The cot?
ton fields in some sections ol this dictrict have
been visited by the caterpillar. This is some?
thing unusual, as we do not recollect ever to
have heard of thoir appearance m any large
numbers in this locality. The boll worm is
also doing considerable mischief. From all the
unfavorable indications at present, we fear that
the cotton crop in this district will fall short
nearly quite one-third what it promised to be
two months ago."
GENIE AX EPISCOPAL CONVENTION OF THE UNI?
TED STATES.-The General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
States, which holds its session once in three
years, will meet in the City cf New York on tho
7th of October next. Bishop Stevens, in a late
circular, referring to the fact, says :
In this great council of oar church will be
gathered, tor the first time since 1859, bishops,
clergy and laity from all of the United States.
It will comprise a larger number of bishops and
a larger number of dioceses than any of our
previous councils. The business which will be
brought before it is of the deepest importance
to the well-being of the church, now and
hereafter. The erection of six or seven
new dioceses and missionary jurisdictions;
the election and perhaps consecration of j
several bishops; the readjustment of our
code of canons to new phases of ch ireh
growth and action; the various memorials
touching vital points of faith, ritual and disci?
pline, which will be presentad; the recasting
of the whole foreign missionary work of the
church; the needed revision of the course of
studies for candidates for Holy Orders, as pre?
scribed by tho House of Bishops; the devising
of new and enlarged agencies of church edu?
cation and church extension; the methods by
which we can best minister lo the spiritual
needs of the poor, the working-classes, the
freedmen, the fallen of every grade, on the one
hand, as well as reach and successfully grapple
with the various forms of rationalism and un?
believing science on the other. These aDd
other equally great questions, each big with
untold consequences, will engage the delibera?
tion of the legislative council. In addition to
these matters, which pertain specifically to
conventional action, there are mau y other top?
ics connected with the operation of the several
great voluntary societies in the church, which
bold their meetings at the same time, and tho
Sroceedings of which will have a moulding in
uenco on the ch uren, at large.
GENERAL GRANT'S NAME_In a late conver?
sation with a newspaper correspondent, the
irrepressible father of General Grant gave the
folio Ting account of the christening of his
son: .
It occurred in this way-he was our first?
born, and his grandfather, grandmother and
several others felt an interest in naming him.
We finally agreed to write all the names we
chose, (one eaoh, there being seven of us,)
place them in a hat, and draw, abiding bv the
result. Ulysses was drawn first. But his
grandfather's ohoioe was Hiram. So to please
my father, we permitted it to be Ulysses Hi?
ram ; but all know how they got his name
Ulysses S. on the West Point books. I tried
to get it corrected, but Ulysses said he didn't
like the name Hiram anyway, and so we let it
stand.

?O' WE ARE NOT CAST IRON 1-CAST
iron undergoes marked chancos under the alternate
action of beat and cold, and the human body is not
cast iron. On the contrary, it is a combination of
delicate tissues and fibres, which are exquisitely
sensitive to atmospheric change?, and, unless pro?
tect ed against sudden and violent varlatio as of tem?
perature by wise precautions, are euro to be disas?
trously affected by them.
At this season the difference between the tempera?
ture of night and day is greater than at any other
period of the year, and the stomach, the liver, the
bowels and the nervous sys'.em are apt to receive
violent shooks from these changes, resulting in in*
digestion, bilious attacks, debility, low nervous
fever, fever and ague, remittent fever, Ac. Sustain
and leinforce these organs, therefore, with the pur?
est and most potent of all vegetable tonics and
alteratives, viz: HOSTET! ER'S STOMACH BIT?
TERS. Thc effect of thia matchless lnvlgorant is to
brace up th\e whole vital organization, and regulate
its action. Useful at all seasons as a means of pro?
moting per foct digestion, an even and natural flow
of bile, an J a healthy condition of the bowels and
the skin, it is especially necessary In the fall when
the complaints arising from checke! perspiration
are so common. It is found, by those who are in
the habit of using this agreeable and unequalled
tonic, that it so strengthen? and fortifies the body as
to render lt proof against the morbid influences
which infect the air during the prevalenee of epi?
demics. 6 September 26
J93-WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU ?
This ls tbe familiar question put to every invalid.
In many cases tho answer ls, "I don't know exactly,
but I don't feel well." Look at the countenance o
the man or woman who makes this reply, and you
will generally fiad that the eyes aro dull and lustre?
less, the complexi?n sallow, the checks flaccid, and
the whole expression of the face dejected. Interro?
gate the Invalid moro closely, and you will discover
thtt constipation, tho result of a disordered stomach
and a torpid liver, ls at the bottom of the mischief.
"That's what's the matter." Whoever has expe?
rienced the effects of TAREANT'S EFFERVESCENT
SELTZER APERIENT in such cases, need not to be
told to recommend it as a remedy.
