HE Subscriber having disposed of his in-

respectfully return thanks for the liberal sup-
port be has received, and solicit in their be
half a continuance ofthe patronage which has

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
1857-S.
HE TRIBUNE was first issued as a Daily
on the 10th of April, 1841. Its Weekly
edition was cominenccd in September of the
same year ; its Semi-Weekly in May, 1855.—
It was the first daily to issue a double or
eight-page sheet at a low price, and it has
kept at least even with the foremost of its
rivals in the rapid expansion of Newspaper
enterprise, which the great extension ofRail-
roads, and the establishment of the Telegraph
system have crowded into these last sixteen
eventful yaars. No largcrjournal is afforded
at so low a price in any quarter of the world ;
none in America, no in-aiter at what price 13.
sued, pays 31109031 “mount. Weekly or month-
ly, for itellectual labor. It employs con-es.
pondcnts regularly in the leading capitals
of Europe, and at the most important points
on this continent, with a liberal staffofivritei-sl
and reporters at home, regarding full, early
aud accurate information as the first object of
aNcwspuper. and the timely and thoroucrii
elucidatio_n_thereofus thceml ofits Edit.oriaIs_
In that spirit THE TRIBUNE‘ has been and
will be conducted, extending and perfectiiig
it correspondence so fast as the increase of its
patronage will justify the expense. Should
the current attempt to connect the Old with
the New World by the magnetic wire prove
successful, we shall very soon, at a heavy
cost to ourselves and, we trust, a correspon-
ding advantage to our readers, publish each
morning a synopsis of the precr-.edingday’s oc-
currauces throughout Europe, Northern Af'ri-
co. and Western Asia, with regular reports of
the markets, the monetary aspects and harvest
prospects of hither Europe. With a good at-
las beside him and his daily paper on his fire-
side table, the American farmer or artisan with-
in a day’s ride of the city may then study-each
evening the doings of the civilized world
throughout the day preceding ; and it seems
hardly possible that any who can read, but
especially one who has children to educate,
will longer de y himself the pleasure and pro-
fit of a daily journal. The same is true meas.
urably of those who live fnrtlier inland ;
though, where mails are unfrequent, a Semi-
Weekly, or even a Weekly paper, may seem
sufiicient.
THE l‘RIBUNE deals with questions of P0-
litical economy, Public Policy. E hics. Materi-
al Progress and whatever may affect the iii-
telectual, Moral, Social and Physical well
being of mankind, dogmatic Theology alone
excepted. Its leading idea is the honoring of
honest, useful Work in whatever sphere or
capacity, and the conseqent elevation of the
Laboring Class in knowledge,virtue and gen-
eral esteem. It is necessarily hostile to
Slavery under all its aspects, fointemperance
in whatever form or degree with accessories,
to War save in the defense of Country and
Liberty, against actual invasion, and to every
form of gambling, Desiring to see Production
extended and encouraged, while Wild Specu-
lation and useless Traffic are curtailc-gd, it
favors the policy of sustaing and diversifying
Home Industry by a disciminating Tarifi‘—sa
policy which tends to increase the price of
Grain to the farmer while diminishing that of
Bread to the artisan, by reducing the distance
across which Iheir respective products are ex-
changed and. of course. reducing the cost of
theii transfer. Regarding Fillibustcrism in
all its phrases, and every form and device
of National covetousness, with unqualified
abhorence as the bane of Republics and in
their tiumph the grave ofEqual Human Rights
we seek by every means to woo and win
the attention of our countrymen f'rom projects
of agrandzeinent abroad, to enterprise ofs de-
velopment and beneficence at home. foremost
among which we rank at Railroad through
the heart of our territory to connect the wa-
ters of’ the Atlantic with those of the Pacifiic.
Believing that the goods of this life are not
yet fairly distributed, and that no-one ready
to work should ever famish in unwilling idle-
ness, it lends an open ear .,_to every sugestiozi
of Social improvement which does not center-
vail the dictates of eternal Morality nor war
upon the natural right of one to whatsoever
he has fairly produced or honestly acquired,
whose denial must sink mankind into the
chaos and night of barb-arism and universal
squalor. With a profound consciousness that
idlers, drunkards,|libertines and profli,-sates
can never-be other (in the main) than needy
and wretched, it bears aloft the great truth
lliat Prevention is better than Punishment-
that the child trained up in the way he should
go will rarely in after years desert that way
for the thorney paths of Vice and Crime;
that a true Education -—Religious, Moral and
Industrial as well as Intelectual—is the most
effective temporal antidote to the errors and
woes of our race. Recognizing in the most
3'-"35 degraded specimen of Humanity a divine spark
which should be reverenty cherished, not
ruthlessly trodden out. we have charity for
HE Co-partnership heretofore existing be- all forms of evil but those which seek person-
tween H. E. 8'. E. BEEBE, is this day dis- al advaiitage through the dcbasement of our
felow beings. The champion of no class or
caste, the devote of no sect, we would fain
be the interpreter to each other of men’s
better impulse and aspirations, the harbinger
of general concord between Labor and Capi-
tal, and among those whom circumstaces or
misapprehensions have thrown into unnatural
antagonism. A cofeiiiporary once observed
that he never knew 9. hard, grasping. niggard-
ly employer who did not hate THE TRI-
BUNE, nor a generous, large-sonld, kindly
one, willing to live and let"livc. who did not
like it. We ask no higher praise, no warmer
attestation.
The circulation of the TRIBUNE is at this
time as follows: Daiiy 32,000 copies; Week-
ly. 176,800 copies ; Semi-Weekly, 16,000
copies; California and European, 6,000 cop-
ies; Total, 230,800 copies. That of the Sc-
mi-Weekly, and Weekly we believe to be ex-
ceeded by no other newszpaper published in
the world ; that of the Daily falls behind
that of some of our contemporaries. Had
our hostility to Human Slavery. and the Li-
quor Traffic been more guarded and politic,
our Daily issues would now be some thous-
ands heavier and our Advertising far more
lucrative; but of our patronage generally we
have no reason, no wish, to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made
to diminish our rural circulation through the

l!a1ghn’s Patent Harness.
HAT is the matter now? A Patent
Harness has come to town, and every
body wants it. I am happy to inform the
public that I have purchased the right to
manufacture and sell KAIG1IN’S PATENT
HARNESS for the " " . .'I..,; territory, viz:
Connecticut, Illinois, Rhode Island and Long
-Island, and am now prepared to supply all
who are in want of this article singly or by
the dozen.
This Harness will fit any carriage that has
a bent shaft attached to it. All who are in
want of a superior harness would do well to
give me a call. All this Harness wants is a
fair trial—-it is better. safer and cheaper than
anything of the kind ever offered to the pub-
lic. Any person ,however unused to the bus-
iness. can harness a horse to a carriage with-
out any trouble with this Harness; indeed, he
canintot got it wrong, if done at all it must be
rigi .
Another great advantage in this Harness.
is, that in a hot day the horse is not covered
up with leather, as is the case with the old
style of Harness—-and leather is expensive
about these days. Try this Harness one week
and if you don’t acknowledge that it is het-
ter,cheaper and safer than any you have ever
used, then return it and you shall have your
money again. But I am confident that after
using it one week no person could buy it of
you for double its cost, if you could not get
another of the same style.
I am now selling these Harnesses as fast as
I can get them made. Shop Rights can be
purchased if desired.

rect view of its causes—u view, I am aware, that is
opposed by the great mass of the profession, but which
is strenuously advocated by u few-—and those few, from
their research and close study, stand at the head or
their profession—n.nd from whom I am indebted to lin.v-
ing been converted from the old benfen track as laid
down in the books, and led to embrace my present belief.
With a view to making the matter intelligible to the
general reader (wliich is fl. very difficult thing to do), I
shall endeavor to simplify the matter as much as possi
ble. in the hope that I may be followed without difliculty.
Constipation is of two kinds, or perliaps I ought rather
to say, it arises froiu two and entirely dissimilar states
of the system, viz.: in those that are of a lean anal
spare habit, and in those of a robust and healthy ap-
pearance. We will first take into consirlerntioii the
former, and the first question to be propoundcd and
answered is:
Why are the bowels irregular as regards their action
—why do they not move with more regularity and fro-
queney—wliy the delay in the foecal matter being ejected?
For the very good reason that the natural stimulus
to action, or the coptrnctioii of the pariefies or‘ the
bowels upon their bowels is absent; they do not act,
because that which sets them in motiou——tbnt which
stiinulates tlie_m to contraction, and the consequent ex-
pelling of their contents. is not present to bring about
this action or contraction.
What is this natural stimulus or cxeiter of the action
of the bowels?
Their contents, the fuecnl matter, nnd which must be
of a certain bulk, or some 5 or 6 ounces in weight be-
fore it can become an exciter of the contraction of the
bowels. The reason. then, why no evacuation takes
place, why the bowels are irregular, is because there is
no fo:cal mutter there to be expelled, and, of course, if
there is nothing there to be expelled, nothing can be
expelled. I-‘cecal matter cannot be sent out of the
bowels, because it is not in them; it is not because the
bowels are unable to discharge their contents, but be-
cause they have no contents to discharge.
1 said there was n's*‘=-""' no force! matter there;
there may be a small .1........ ...nd but a small quan-
tif;y—not enough, at any rate, from its bulk or weight,
to excite contraction; but as soon as some 5 or 6 ounces
are present'in the bowels, their muscular coats will just
so certainly, by the weight of their contents, be stimu-
lated rind forced into contraction and the expelling of
their contents, as the womb will, at the end of nine
months, from the weight of its contents, expel the foetus,
or as the bladder will expel its contents when a certain
quantity shall have been secreted there. It is a law of
the economy, and until there is sufficient weight or
bulk within the intestines to stimulate them to con-
tract, there will be no evacuation, and of course no
evacuation is needed.
At this point, I will take occasion to remark, that,
under this view of the cause of irregularity of the
bowels, one can readily see how perfectly ridiculous and
nonsensical, and how entirely useless, is the adminis-
tration of purgative medicines in Constipation. You
take purgative or laxative medicines, and for what?
Why, to expel from the bowels that which is not there;
to force them to contract and expel, when there is
nothing to expel. Purgative medicines in Constipation
are not only useless, but very injurious, as we shall see,
and their administration is the height of empyricism.
Let the bowels alone until the proper time arrives for
their evacuation, or until they need to be evacuated,
and rest assured they will perform their functions with-
out the help of any drugs. Let them alone, and when
the feces shall have accumulated to the amount of some
5 or 6 ounces, they will certainly contract upon and
expel their contents.
The next question in order is;
Why is not fecal matter present—-why has it not been
with more regularity and with more frequency deposited,
so as to become an exciter to contraction of the bowels,
and the consequent expulsion of their contentr?
For the reason, that as the feces are a true secretitm
from the blood, and the patient, from his lean, lank,
lantern-jawed appearance, shows very plainly that he
has but very little biood inside of him, and what there
is, of the thinnest, poorest, and very meanest quality,
it is very easy to imagine that there will not be much
secretion; it is an impossibility that there should be
much, for the blood is not there out of which the fecal
secretions can be manufactured; the manufacturers are
ready to do the woi-k—they are ready to manufacture
the fecal matter, but they are short of materinl—they
have nothing to work with—no material to work into
fecal matter. Like the cotton factory, where every
thing is ready to do the work. all the hands employed,
all the machinery in good order and ready for action.
but the spun thread is wantiug—-it isn’t to be bad and
cannot be got, and the consequence is, no homespun
is made, as there is nothing to make it out of. So it is
with the colon and rectum, the lower bowels; they are
ready to manufacture and deposit the fecal secretion,
but good, rich blood, and a plenty of it, being wanting,
they are left without any material to work with, and of
course, not having this all-important secretion—the
blood--they cannot manufacture the secretion.
Now, I am aware that this doctrine of fecification is
at variance with fl large moss of tlie proiession, and not
only the profession, but those out of it, and the latter,
as well as the former, regard the feces as the residuum
of the food—as that portion of the food which is not
taken up by the circulation, and not needed for the
purposes of nourishing the bcdy, or as the refuse of the
food after all the nutritious part of it has been extracted;
but this is entirely a wrong idea, for the feces are as
true a secretion from the mucus membrane of the
colon, as is the gastric juice from the mucus membrane
of the stomach, or the saliva from the mucus membrane
of the glands of the mouth, or the teiirs from the mucus
membrane of the lnchrymnl glands; nnrl the amount of
secretion from either depends upon the quantity and
quality of blood distributed to them; and so of the
colon, the amount of secretion from its mucus mem-
brane, that is, the quantity of feces that is deposited in
the bowels depends upon the quantity of blood distri-
buted to that membrane. The books, I am aware,
teach a very different doctrine; but because Dr. this
one, or Dr. that one, says so in his book, is no reason
of its beidg true. Other Dsctors, in their books, say
differently, and when Doctors disagree, who shall decide?
The books say, and it :3 the generally received opinion
among the professson, that nfter the food passes into
the stomach, it is, by the muscular action of the stom-
ach, rolled and tumbled about until it becomes a soft,
homogeneous mass, and then it is passed forward into
the upper portion of the bowels, called the duodenum,
wherea portion or part is extracted or separated for
purposes of nutrition, culled chile, and which is taken
up by the small tubular vessels called lactaels, and car-
ried into the circulation for the purposes of nourishing
the body; the olherportian becoming useless after the
cliile is extrected from it, it is sent forward through the
bowels and expelled. Now, instead ofla. part only of
this mass being prepared and taken into the circulation,
the whale of it is in health taken up. Now let us see
about this—let us see ifa part only is taken and carried
into the circulation. How much ili weight does a per-
son in health eat at a. meal? Say two pounds; three
meals a day wguld make six pounds that he has taken
into his stomach. Now, according to the books, a port
of this, say one-half, is taken up and carried into the
circulation; the other half, then, according to our cal-
culation would be one pound left in the bowels after
each meal, or three pounds a. day, to be carried forward
and expelicd at the lower portion of the bowels. Now,
bear in mind_that there is each day three pounds of
deoss or residuum of the food that is not needed for the
nutrition of the body, and is carried on through me
bowels to be expelled. Now suppose this man happened
to be troubled with Constipation of the bowels, and
should have no discharge from the bowels for one week,
a very frequent occurrence with dyspeptics and others
troubled with Constipation. I have known persons to
go three weeks without having any operation, and there
are cases on record where patients have gone six and
twelve months without having had a. stool. Now, at
the end of one week this constipated patient would, ac-
cording to our calculation. be carrying about him, in
his bowels, 21 pounds of fecal matter; at the end of two
weeks, he would carry about with him 42 pounds; at
the end of three weeks, 63 pounds; and in the case of
those I have alluded to as going six and twelve months
without stool, one would carry 546 pounds, and the
other 1092 pounds. What an absurd idea, that a. per-
son should carry about with him a thousand pounds,
or the hull‘ of it, of fecal matter, or even 63, or 42, or
21 pounds. Suppose the patient, at the end of the first
week, who is supposed to have 21 pounds in store. is
weighed, how much more will he actually weigh? Will
he weigh 21 more? No. Will he weigh the half of it,
or 5 pounds, or 1 pound? No; not one half-ounce
more; and the great probability is, that he.will not even
weigh as much as he did the week previous. What has
become of the 21 pounds of refuse matter? That’s a.
question much. easier asked than answered, if we stick
to the old doctrine as laid down in the books. I'll tell
you what has become of it: the whole of the food was
taken up and carried into the circulation, and a good
portion has passed through the bladder in the form of
urine, and through the pores of the skin in the form of
iusensible perspiration.
It has come under the observation of almost every
one, that a patient laboring under acute disease, where
no solid food has been taken for weeks, yet the stools
are as well formed and copious as ever; and, in fact,
this same patient may have, at the commencement of
his diseas, taken strong and purgative medicine, which
expelled every particle of fecal matter, and before taking
any nourishment, with the exception perhaps ofa little
tea, he hes had other stools almost as copious and of as
much consistence as the first. This, of course, could
not have been the residuum of the food. for the patient
had taken none. Patients With lock-jaw, where it was
an impossibility for them to take any thing for days
and weeks in the shape of nourishment, except liquid,
and that of the thinnest kind, yet have a daily executi-
tion of the usual consistence. Patients suffering from
cancer in the mouth, that prdcluded the possibility of
takihg any kind of nourishment by the month, have
been nourished and kept alive by enemas, yet they have
stoois of more or less consistenc»-. Where could this
fccal master come from 7 Certainly not from the food I
Again, persons subject to Constipation generally have
good, and sometimes enormous appetites, and eat large
quantities, yet have a movement of the bowels very
seldom, and then very small in quantity" If it be re-
tained in the bowels, of course there would be a pro-
tuberance there, giving evidence that there was :i. quan-
tity of matter lodged there; but, on the contrary, in-
stead of there being any protuberance there, consti-
pated persons always have exceedingly fiat bellies; anl
moreover, if there was a quantity of matter lodged
there, the patient would weigh inoi-e; but he does not
weigh one half-ounce more than he did at the last move-
ment of his bowels.
As an argument against this doctrine, it may be said
that particles of food, seeds, skins of dried fruit, cherry
stones, &c., are found in the stools. This, however, is
no argument against it, for they are found there either
because they escape the action of the gastric juice, or
it was impossible for the gastric juice to dissolve them.
If a. man swallow a cannon ball, I would not expect it
to be dissolved by the gastric juice, or prepared by the
stomach for its reception into the circulation. Ifa per-
son swallow 9. penny or a cherry stone, it is bound to
go through them, for the gastric juice will not dis-
solve it‘
Now, what I conceive to be about the right view of
shis whole matter is thls:—'l‘he food, and the whole of
it, is, by the muscular action of the stomach, converted
into a soft, homogeneous mass, and then it is passed
along into the upper bowels, called the duodenum, on
the sides of which are a. great number of little orifices,
which are mouths of small vessels or tubes called lac-
leals. whose ofiice is to take up this food, now called
chile, and carry it along and discharge it into a large
vein, and by which it is carried to the heart; from the
heart it is forced into the lungs, when, by coming in
contact with the atmosphere, it is converted into good
healthy red blood, and now fit (but not previously) for
tho purpose of nutbitiou. It now being made into good
red blood, is brought back by large veins to the heart
again, from whence it is again propelled into the large
arteries and distributed to every portion of the system.
The blood, passing on through these arteries, is received
into another set of vessels of the very smallest calibre,
called capillary vessels, and which are in every tissue of
the body, and so numerous that the point of a small
needle cannot enter the akin without piercing them.
Now, in these minute vessels the great functions of
nutrition and sscretion are carried on, or. in other words,
the depositing of all the solids, such as bone, sinew,
muscle, nails, &c.; this is nutrition ; while the deposit-
ing of the liquids, such as bile, gastric juice, saliva,
tears, &c., is called secretion. Every particle of the
solids and liquids of the body are separated and depos-
ited from the bloo-l by these small vessels; but bear in
mind that these deposits are made only for a short
time. As almost every one is aware, there is fl con-
stant change going on in the systcm—old solids are
being broken down and taken away, and new deposited
in their place. We have already seen how new matter
is deposited. Now, old matter, after it has become the
worse for wear, becomes broken down, worn out, use-
less, and it must in some way be revivificd. enlivened,
made new again. The commencement of this work is
accomplished by vessels called adsorbent vessels. y
,these is old matter, after it is broken down and reliqul-
fiod, taken up and passed along into the veins, and by
which it is carried to the heart, and from the heart it
thrown into the lungs, and thus by its contact with
the atmosphere it becomes rid of its carbonic acid, ra-
coives a fresh supply of oxygen, is i-evlvified, made new
again, and is brought back to the beast, and‘ is now
ready to be sent throughout the entire system, to be
deposited aguin' Thus, it will be seen that bone, mus-
cle, mucus, bile, saliva, &c., is deposited. re-circulated,
and i~c-deposited again and again. This is true of (I.
good portion of each, but not all, for there is it portion
of each, after it has been taken u by the absorbent
vessels, that cannot be revivified— ‘ t cannot be en-
livened or made into good blood again; and now what
is done with this that is of no further use to the system ?
It is carried out of the system by o set of secreting ves-
sels made for that purpose. And how? By three dif-
ferent clinnnels, viz.: tliroiiyh the kidneys, by the se-
cretion of urine; through the skin, in the form of in-
sensible perspiration; and through the lower bowels, by
the secretion of fecal matter.
Thus, it will be seen that the fecal matter, instead of
being the residuum of the food. is the dross or broken
down matter, which, being no longer of any use to the
system, is sent out of the system through the secreting
vessels of the mucus iiicnibrane of the lower bowels.
This is one of the channels by which the blood is rid of
these matters, the retention of which would not only
leave no room for the admission of new blood, made
frmn chile, which is constantly being formed, but would
vitiate the blooil, and clog the wheels of life. So essen-
tial is the eliminating of these niutters no longer ofany
use for the purposes of nourishing the body, that when
one of these channels, from any cause, ceases to secrete.
or does so imperfectly, one of the other channels. or
botli, will perform double duty. For instance, when
the lower bowels do not secrete their proportions ie
share in the form of fecal matter. there is always a
much larger flow of urine, and with zi. greater disposi-
tion to perspiration. In cold weather. as every one
knows, the flow of urine is always greater than it is in
warm; and it is because the skin becomes shrunk and
shriveled up from the cold, which closes the capillary
vessels of the skin; and there are cases on record, where
the mucus membrane of the colon failing to secrete the
feces, the skin has been made the point of elimination
to a most disgusting extent.
Now, from what has been said, I think the reader
will discover that the feces are as true ii. secretion from
the blood as is the saliva, bile, gastric juice, &c., and
it should be borne in mind that the amount of secretion
of feces depends upon the amount of blood sent to the
mucus membrane of the lower bowels; if there is but
little blood sent there, very little secretion can take
place from it; but if the patient be in good health, and
possess a. supply of i-ieli, red blood, he will, about every
24 hours, have secreted some 5 or 6 ounces of fecal
matter, and this quantity being present, will excite the
bowels to contract and discharge their contents.
_ As good, wholesome and substantial food makes good,
rich blood, and a. plenty of it for every secretion in the
body to carry op its functions, and its we also know
that every constipated person has not only a craving
and ravenous appetite, but gratifies it, the next ques-
tion, and the last one, is:
As the feces are 9. true secretion from the blood, and
as the amount of secretion depends upon the quantity
of blood distributed to the mucus membrane of the
colon. and as there is no lack of appetite, or withhold-
ing of good and substantial food, which makes blood in
abundance,—why is the patient almost bloodless, and
for this reason constipated?
Because of congestion of the stomach or upper bowels,
which unfits those organs from taking up the food and
preparing it in a proper manner for the circulation.
(How congestion of the stomach and upper bowels pre-
vents thc taking up of the food and preparing it for the
circulation, Isball explain in my next advertisement.
and which will be for the benefit of the ladies, especially
the young ladies, who regard a. fine figure and form of
any consideration.) Thus we see that the cause, and
the only cause, of constipation of the bowels, lies in
disease of the stomach and upper bowels. . _
Now, instead of constipation always occurring in
those who are thin in flesh, and having but little blood
inside of them, it sometimes occurs in those of a. fu_ll
and plethoric habit. The cause of the constipation in
these cases in not the want of good blood in the system,
but from its unequal distribution through the body-
some organs are overloaded and gorged with blood,
which, of course, takes it from other organs, and leaves
them almost in n. bloodless state. When constipation
occurs in those of a full plethoric habit, it is from con-
gestion of the stomach, The stomach has an undue
quantity of blood sent to it, and for which reason the
mucus membrane of the colon is left in the some blood-
in the same bloodless state as though there was a want
of blood through the entire system.
From the above, it is no very hard matter to discover
that the exhibition of purgatives or even laxative med-
icines, in constipation, is most absurd and eutiaely use-
less; nor is this all, for their exhibition is positively in-
jurious, and very much so,—for, by their exhibition, a
premature discharge from the bowels is caused, and a
forced secretion of the blood, which must, to a certainty,
still further reduce an'ulready weakened and debilitated
system. We readily can see that there is not a particle
of blood to spare, yet the exhibition of purgatives not
only sends the blood to the lower bowels, and, so doing,
draws it away from the more vital organs, organs of
nutrition, and which must have all the blood there is
for the purposes ofnutrition, or nourishing the system;
and it not only does this, but, after forcing it to the
bowels, the blood is forced to secrete more or less of
mucus or fecal matter, and, by so doing, is still further
impoverished, and, by this loss from the blood, the
organs of nutrition are deprived still more of the pre-
cious liquid for nourishing the body, and the system,
from the lack of the material by which it is nourished.
becomes still further reduced and debilitated. Now,
from this premature discharge from the bowels—from
this still further taking from. reducing, and impoverish-
ing the blood, and thereby causing a diminution of un-
trition—we can readily see why the constipation is still
more obstinate after such a premature discliarge, caused
by taking purgntive medicines (for it is the experience
of every one, that. after taking purgativc medicfnes,
they are not only no better off. but the constipation is
even still more obstinate); it is because the blood,
which is the parent of this and all other secretions. has
been still farther impoverished, exhausted, and reduced
by the discharge than it was p:-evious to it. and which
has so much reduced them that secretion of fecal mat-
ter wns very small in qunutity—so small that several
days, perhaps, would elapse befoie the requisite quan-
tity, viz.: 5 or 6 ounces, would be present to excite
contraction of the bowels- and the expulsion ‘of their
contents.
And now, in conclusion, we find that the whole trou-
ble lies not in the lower bowels, but in the digestiev
organs, and to effect a cure of this formidable malady,
a well directed treatment to these organs, and these
organs alone, must be resorted to, and remedial agents
selected and made use of with the greatest care and
caution. As a remedy for this disease, I uuhesitatingly
recommend the remedy known as BLISS’ DYSPEPTIC
REMEDY. It is a sovereign remedy in this affection,
and will not fail of effecting a cure it’ directions are
complied with. It will not cure at once: it would be
foolish to expect it, or of any other medical preparation;
tqe system must have time to recruit its worn out and
exhausted powers. This remedy will enable the stom-
ach to prepare the food for the circulation, from which
good. healthy and rich red blood will be made, and by
which latter the function of nutrition will be carried on,
and through which function the enfeebled system will
become buoyed up and strengthened, and the secretions
of saliva, gastric juice, bile, urine, and of fecal matter
from the lower bowels, will take place in good and suf-
ficient quantities.
If you commence with the remedy, do so with the
determination to follow it up. and not closely up to all
directions, or not take it at all. If you do take it, and
follow out all the directions. you may rest assured it
will cure, I care not of how long duration or standing,
or how obstinate it has heretofore proved, it will not
fail if taken properly. W. W. BLISS.

Since writing the above, I have received a. letter
from xi. gentleman in Mcllinn County, Tenn.. consulting
me as regards his disease, Constipation of the Bowels,
and among other things says he has it keen. ravenous
appetite, which he can scarce satisfy, although he eats
large quantities; and he also states that “,he had not
had a passage of the bowels for four weeks.” Now, it
strikes me, that if the old doctrine of the feces be true,
as laid down the books, the old gentleman must, about
now, begin to weigh “ right smart.”

Dr. Sanford’s Invigorator,
OR LIVER REMEDY!
HIS IS ONE OF THE GREATIBT SCIENTIFIC llIE_DI-
cal discoveries ever made, and is daily working
cures almost too great_to believe. It cures as if by mug-
ic, even the first dasegwing benefit, and geldom more than
one bottle is required to cure any kind of_ L1.1.‘87‘ Com-
plnint from the worst Jaumlice or Dyspepsia to a com-
mon lfead ache, all of which are the result of a Diseased
Liver.
The Liver is one of the principal regulators of the hu-
man bodv and when it performs its functions well, the
powers ofythe system are fully developed. The stomach
is almost entirely dependent on the healthy action of
the Liver for the proper performance of its functions.-
When the stomach is at fault, _the bowels are at fault,
and the whole system suffers in consequence of one or-
gan—the I..iver—liaving ceased to do its duty. For the
disease of that organ, one of the proprietors has made
it his study, in 2. practice of more than twenty years,
to find some remedy wherewith to counteract the many
derangements to which it is liable.
To prove that this remedy is at last found, any person
troubled with Liver Coinplaintlin any of its forms, has
but to try a bottle, and conviction is.certa_in.
A compound has beeuformed by dissolving .;ul_1l5. “Pd

tues of the medicine. These gums reuinve all ‘morbid

For Dyspepsia or Jauudice, nothing in the known
world acts so fully or cures so quickly as the Invigora-
tor. It removes all yellowness and unnatural color
from the skin. _ _ _ .
For Night Mare, take a dose before retiring, and it is
warranted a sure preventive.
For Female Obstructions it is a safe and sure remedy,
as it removes the cause of the disease.
Costiveness cannot exist where the Invigorator is free-
ly taken, while Cholic yields readily to a few doses.
It must be known that all these are Liver diseases, or
caused by a deranged Liver, and to cure them needs in
Liver: medicine and one of great power. The Invigora-
tor is such a medicine ; it has medicinal powers, never
before discovered, that will cure all diseases of the Liver
no matter of how long standing or what may be their
form. The active medicinal virtues extracted from the
gums used is such as to be astonishing to all who see
their effects, for none can use the medicine without re-
ceiving benefit. It acts as a gentle Cathartlc, and
should always be taken in sufficient quantities to oper-
ate on the bowels gently. The best way to take It is to
take the medicine in the month, then hike 301% W0-tel‘
and swallow both together. In this wit? the 3195101139

A Great Discovery.
0 A '.l'.‘ A II. E. E ,
0 long deemed incurable, so little under-
stood by Physicians and medical writers,
has at last yielded and been vanquished by
medical skill.
Dr. R. GOODALL a Physician of 40 years
practice, has discovered a positive and radi-
cal cure for Catarrh in its worst form. With-
out disparaging the abilities and researches
of the profession, he does claim that long in-
vestigation and careful experiments, have in-
vested him with a knowledge of the charac-
ter,location, and results of this neglected
disease, and directed him to apply a remedy
hitherto overlooked to counteract and eradi-
cate it effectually. .
This he has done and he now offersit to the
world, and challenges the most inveterate .
cases to its test He has opened an ofllceat

PROFESSOR 0. J. WO0D’S
HAIR RESTORATIVE,
For Producing Hair on Bald Heads,
AND RESTORIN G GREY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL COLOR
gIS astonishing and unequalled preparation has
T never failed to produce a. growth on Bald Heads,
when used according to the directions, and-turn hair
back to its original color after having become gray and
reinstate it in all its original health, lustre, softness
ond beauty. Removes at once all scurf, dandruff, and
unpleasant itching, scrofula, eruptions and feverish
heat from the scalp. It also prevents the hair from be-
coming unhealthy and falling off, and nence acts as I.
perfect Hair Invigerator and Tonic.
A gentleman of Boston writes to his friend in New
Bedford thus :
To your inquiries, I would reply, that when I first
commenced u<ing Professo Wood’s I-lair Restorative,
my hair was almost white, and had been so for the Int
ten, years, and it was very thin on the top of my herd,
and very loose, and pulled out freely, but I found that
before I had used all the second bottle, (which was eight
weeks,1) my hair was entirely changed to its original '
color, ight brown, and is now free from dandruff and
quite moist. I have had my hair cut five or six times
since the change, and have never seen anything like
white hair starting from the roots, and it is now as
thick as it ever was, and does not come out at all. It
has proved in my case all than I could wish to ask.
Jul.£ 1, 1855. Yours,'etc.,
From the Boston Herald.
Soxirruixc WORTH Kxowixc.—By using P‘: fesso
Wood’s Hair Restorative, gray hair can be permanently
restored to its original color. The subjoined certificate
from Johnson & Stone, Gardiner, Maine, is but oneol
the many instances that are daily coming to our knowl-
edge, of its wonderful effects. It is no longer proble-
matical. but a self evident truth, as hundreds in our
community can testify.
GARDINER, Maine, June 22, 1855!
Dear Sir, I have used two bottles of Professor Wood’:
Halt Restorative, and can truly say it is the greatest
discovery of the age for restoring and changing the
hair. Before using it, I was a man of seventy. My
hair has now attained its original color. You can rec-
ommend it to the world without the least fear, as my
case was one of the worst kind.
Yours, respectfully,
DANIEL N. MURPHY.
_ Bizooin-'ii:r.n, Mass., Jan. 12 1855.
Dear Sir, Having made ii. trial of your Hair gton.
tive, it gives me pleasure to say that its effect has been
excellent in removing inflammation, dandrufi, end 5
constant itching _ tendency with which I have been
troubled from childhood, and has also restored my hair
weich was becoming gray, to its original color. I have
used no other article with anything like the pleasing
and profit. Yours truly, J. K. BRAGG,
Pastor of the Orthodox Church, Brookfield.
Professor Wood.
From the illissouri Daocrat.
Woon’s Ham Dvs.—-This admirable article in rapidly
improving the hair. No article of a similar klnd. now
before the public, enjoys a better reputation as a. resto-
rative add invigorating hair tonic. Its peculiar enem-
ical qualities have a. beneficial effect upon the growth
and characger of the hair, giving a silky and glossy
texture to that whith was formerly of a coarse and dry
nature. It has, also, we understand, a. tendency to
preserve the youthful color and appearance of the hair,
and destroying or counteracting the effects of age.-
With recommendations in its favor, we hardly perceive
how any lady or gentleman should be without so valu-
able an adjunct to their toilet.
