EDITORIAL LETTER.
War-mums. Ass. 8. 197‘-
Dum Gaunt—And still Congress “d
to heat continue. The exhibit the former
as made the past week ought not, and will
ot be lost upon the thoughtful minds of the
nultry. We have had a super-abundance ,
i talk. Many speeches have been made
lat better not have been and many that
rerc better made on the stump than in the
unerican House of Congress, as they were.
Tet if the sober and loyal men of' the nation
re brought to a needed contemplation and
ppreciation of the animus of the dominant
_uarty there, the lessons however painful, will
ie of service. The campaign speech of La-
mar—though like unto the new party plat-
oml constructed by Tilden in his intermida-
illC letter—was intended forboth ends of the‘
lemocratic machine, 3'. o. the north and the
lonlll. But the few interruptions and the
lllconccnlcd spirit of the speech, give us an
nkling of the true state of affairs and fee -

.ng, among those who staked everything in

-.heir hopeless efforts to destroy the nation.

.‘low, as before the war, the democracy of

:he north are powarless before these hot-

leads. They must and will have control, or
:Isc will not abide. the party and so our
lorthern dcmacrats give up to them as abject-
y now as they ever did before the war.
Lunnr's speech was intended to be the great
lampaign speech of his party, for general cir-
: lintion during the coming canvass. It will
int (he so circulated, to any great extent
without latitudinal revisions Gen. Garfield
sicscd upon the first opportunity to make rs-
ply tc the oratorical fire-eater. Crowds filled
the galleries and the floor was packed by
those privileged to enter. Even the demo-
crats paid the General the'homage due his
great ability by crowding the seats nearest in
his front. His fine toned voice, earnest and
magnetic manner, gave him a starting pres-
tige and as he warmed up in his argument
111d arraigned the democracy for its unpar-
lonable crime against reason and the Union,
ale-fairly thrilled floor and gallery with his

;errible indictment against that pmty. Por-

:raying the past "and vividly: presenting the.

p'l‘csent, the General went on to prognosticate

the indisputable end and aims of these lead-'
are of the rebellion and dumb submission to

:heir control by their northern allies. The
.cxcoriation was terrible, simply because all

that was charged all knew to be the words

of ‘soberness and truth. It was- the great

speech of the session and will command a

very extensive circulation among the people.

The democrats at times hirly squirmed and

writhed in torture as the enormitics of their

:rimcs against God and humanity, were por-

1raycd. Poor Lamar's speech was so ruth-

.cssly stripped of its fallacies, that mimics

rhetorical graces ceased to give it farther

zharm. The demonstration clearly and with-

)ut question, moves Gen. Garfield forward

:0 the leadership of our side of the House.

The intensest excitement of the week,
however, if not of the session, was over the

Proctor Knott exculpating resolution and the

deserved pummeling he got from Messrs.

Frye, Hall and Hoar. Early in the day the

Judiciary Committcebrought in the report

signed by every member ‘of the Committee,-

Democrats and Republicans alike, exonerat-

ing Proctor Knott, Chairman of the Commit-

tec,'from any intentional wrong in suppress-

ing the famous Caldwell dispatch. The. J u-

diciary Committee, long ago, had decided to

postpone the Little Rock and Union Pacific
investigation, in which the CaldwellfBlaiue
dr'atie member of the committee, who draft.
ed the report, and the Republican members
of the committee, that there should be no
debate upon the merits of the investigation
during the presentation _of the report. It
was a gross violation of parliamentary rule
to have allowed a debate, for the reason that
the whole subject matter was postponed until
next winter. But Knott, finding that he had
the signatures of the Republican members to
this report, ventured upon a speech, which
in view of the peculiar circumstances under
which it was delivered has seldom been
equaled in parliamentary annals. The
speech went outside of the subject matter of
the report, entering into the Little Rock in-
vestigation, reviewed Blaine's course, and
had its climax in a deliberate assertion that

Blaiue’s illness was simplyapiece of dra-

matic acting for political and-personal effect:

The result of this remarkable speech could

scarcely have been expected. Every Repub-

licau‘member who signed the report rose in
turn and withdrew his assent from the report
. and upon motion of the Democratic members
of the Committee, in view of Knott’s speech,
the whole subject was roeommitted to the
' Committee to enable the minority to present

a report. Nor was this his worst rebuke.

Even his own party friends deserted him and

joined in the vote returning it to the com-
mittee. There was all the less excuse for

Knott’s extraordinary conduct tor the reason,

that Mr. Frye, who is also a member of— the

, Judiciary Committee and although from the
state of Maine and the earnest friend of Mr.

Blaine, discovering that Knott was fixing
htinsclf to speak on the report in violation of
the mutual'understanding, stepped across to

Knott’s seat and implored him not to do so,
as_he feared it would lead to bad feeling and
an angry debate. He felt justified in this
because he boards at the same house with
Knott and sits beside him at table and was
socially on the most intimate terms with him,
but even this warning was lost upon him.

' His friends attempt to palliate his unac-
countable conduct by stating that he “ was
just drunk enough to feel ugly." Be that as
it may, he has not shown himself at his
_boarding. place since and is currently report-
-cd'to have been on a regular “ Kentucky
tear” ever since. The blistering excoriation
of Frye, all agree to have been as deserved
as it was deadly. We will append but' one'
paragraph as a sample of the terrible whole.
Mr.‘Frye said :—

“A gentleman who would stand up here
in this House, when he knows, as he- knows
himself, that God struck down Mr. Blaine,
and that for two days and a half he never ut-
tcred one word, for two days and a half he
never' recognized wife or children, for two.
days and shall his eyes were- not closed;
a gentleman who does stand 'on this floor in
the absence of, Mr. Blaine and insinuates that
it was all a play in which he is the great and
leading character, and that he plays his part .
admirably; a gentleman who will do this
shows a malice filling his whole heart, drivv
ing out discretion, driving out justice, driv-
ing out all that is good and pure and holy,

, and filling it entirely with its own devilish
and wicked form." ' '

Hunton of Virginia, and an officer of the
later confederate army sought -to . involve
Frye in a personal controversy with him, but
was only too willing to withdraw from the
encounter to repair his own damages. Then
Eugene Hale took up the debate and sailed
into the shattered.hulk of poor Knott with-
cven intenscr severity than Frye. He said:

. This winter there had been much of fair
combat and foremost in these combats had
been his former colleague (Blaine) He had
given and had taken hard blows, .but he had
never given _a blow in the back.- His col-
league had always been open and manly, and

_ everybody opposed to him knew his ounds
‘and hada fair chance to thrust on parry.
All of this matter by unanimous consent had

. been considered, as far as this session was
concerned, a matter of the past.

The Judiciary Committee had agreed, after
full - deliberatiou,- in which its Chairman

" (Knott) had participated, that the matter in

which Mr. Blaine was interested should cease
from investigation, should cease from discus-
;- sion and should go over until the next ses-
sion: He had failed to hear before t0~day

‘ into Mr. Blaine’s relations to the matter.

J udiciary. Committee, for at the time it _was
reached his colleague lay on his bed-of sick-
ness. It had been postponed, and the mm s
of the members of that committee should be
as clear from prejudice and passwns as that
of a jud e. But the Chairman of that com-
mittee ( uott) dared to come into the House,
and not only to discuss the matter covered

in the report under consideration, but to gt:

was a breach of good faith, such as no mem-

. ber of the floor had ever been disgraced by

rtici aunt' in. There was no man present
2510 hgd ugt been pained by the exhibition
of to-day. . 0
The repert was made up principally on
technical grounds, but it went further. It
did not negative the proposition that there
was malice in the heart of Mr. Knott, and no
man who had listened to his speech would
doubt that flat was what was moving him
today. It was malice that has been embed-
ded in his heart for weeks and months. It
was malice that lay in wait.

In conclusion he said: “If my colleague
had sat here in his seat the gentleman from
Kentucky would have no more dared to
make that'speech than a mousing owl dares
to venture forth when the eagle is abroad
soaring in his pride.” -

Mr. McCrary, of Iowa, a member of the
Committee, expressed 'rcgrct that the Chair-
man of the Judiciary Committee had taken
advantage of the opportunity afforded him
by the magnanimity of ;_his colleague and had.
discussed the whole subject of the anls'lga-
tion. 110 compared with the treatment. re-
ceived by Mr. Blaine the generous treatment
accorded by the Republican side of the House
to Mr. Kerr, and declared that Kerr’s vmdl-
cation was not so complete nor so_ thorough
nor so overwhelming as was the vindlcatlon
of Mr..Blaine. -

Judge Hour of Massachusetts, another
member of the Judiciary Committee, said
that he had assented to the report, not on any
technical ground, but because he had deemed
the gentleman from Kentucky incapable of
the act of suppression charged against him.
He had thought so because that gentleman’s
high position as a Representative from the
honored State of Kentucky, and as Chair-
man of the Judiciary Committee of the House
hldlut-weighed any suspicion gro
of the facts before the Committee. He had
listened to the speech of that gel tleman this
morning with the profoundcst sorrow and
shame, and lf he
the report he should not have signed it.

' Mr. Lawrence of Ohio, another member of
the Judiciary Committee, also expressed re-
gret at the exhibition witngssed by the House
txday, and he would now lnsist that the re-
port hc had signed should be rccommltted to
the Judiciary Committee for review.

Mr. Hard, who had presented the report,
said that the gentleman on the minority of
the Committee, who had just spoken, did
not regret more than he himself did what
had transpired. He had presented to the
House a report unanimously agreed to, and
as to which he had supposed there would be
no discussion or debate. He had in, a con-
versation given his word of honor to Mr.
Frye that there was to be no discussron of
the report. He had supposed that all was
intended'to be said was that which

was necessary for his individual and personal

exculpation. He regretted the debate be-

cause it had compelled those gentlemen who
had kindly and generously signed the report,
and agreed to its being presented to the
House, to withdraw their approval from it.

A. report had been presented, which afford-
ed Mr. Kuott, abundant cxculpation, and
which had been signed by the minority of
the. Committee with cheerfu ness and friendli-
ness. But six members of the J udiciary‘ Com-
mitte having requested of him to have the re-
port withdrawn for further action, he moved
that the report be recommit-ted. ’-

Knott again got the floor, but with appar-
ent sense of humiliation in his bravado, and
attemptedalame and sorry. defense, of his
unwfirrantable and inexcusable conduct. 'Col.
,Waite, our wide-awake and facetious mem-
ber from the 3d district, remarked that the
oulyparallel of Knott’s conduct that he .had
ever heard of was, the .fellow .who having
beentricd for murder and acquitted, jumped
upinspite of his counsel and asked for a’
new trial, which he got, and hanging at the
end of it. But no member was ever more
mercilessly mopped about'the; floor and the
verdict-cf partizan friend and feels-“got
what he deserved.”

, Mr. Morrison of the ways and means com-
mittee, got a resolvcithrougb the House for
an adjournment to—morrow.
posed by his democratic colleague Thompson,
who openly avowed his fears before the
House that by-the passage of the vote and
thus abrogating the rules that the treasury
would be bankrupted by the southern claims
that would be rushcdin. 'But as the three

Thursday. One of these committees met
this (sunday) morning at 9 and adjourned at
4 p. m., but without harmonizing their con-
flicting views. In the event the conferences
cannot agree, it is thought probable the un-_
dignified and disgraceful and child’s-play
legislation which has been repeated three
times of appropriations to carry on the gov-

December next, when this lunatic House is
to convene for its last session, and may the
Lord be thanked.

Last night, at a late hour, the House pass-
ed the bill repealing the date of the specie re-
sumption Act. This was in fulfillment of
the contract entered into. with Hendricks.
for the use of his name at the tail end of
their national ticket. It becomes our North-
ern democratic friends, who may have a few
dollars in bonds, in the Savings Bank, or out
at interest, to inquire what their savings will
be worth, if the rag-baby element of their
party is permitted to go on in the way it has
commenced.

The strictly partizan and boldly illegal
action of the majority of the House, in the
Platt and Geode contested election case, is
still the subject .of the severest animadversion.
Representative Thompson, implored his
democratic associates not to so grossly stulify
themselves as to vote for Goode, because it
was shown that Plait was elected by over
300 majority. There was no question but
that the majority was cast. 'It was that in
the-returns of- one_’of the election districts
there was an informality—the error of the
returning officer merely—but which did not
affect the conceded majority received by.
Platt, yet a bare majority vote was dragoon-
ed'into keeping Goode .in his seat, and for
why? Goode was on the Currency Commit.
tee. He was opposed to the soft money
schemes of the inflationists and . his vote in
committee blocked their games. He was
pledged, so it is credibly asserted; to sup-
port of the inflationists in his strife to retain
his sent, if he would .do their biddings in
committee and the change on the day ofPen-
tecostal conversions was not more sudden
than Goode’s, from hard to soft money!

The Democratic Representatives completed
a very cowardly work by adopting a resolu-
tion which declared that they do not know
whether Secretary Robeson ought to be im-
peached, but recommended that the Judiciary
Committee endeavor to discover during the
summer if he cannot be. . It was a cowardly
blow in the dark, not only directed to Robe-
son himself, but intended to impose 'a stain
upon the honor of all the Bureau officers of
the Navy. . It was an act which many of the
Democrats, as gentlemen, would ,not have
dared to do, but to which, as politicians, and
for personal ends, they have consented. It
was a significant circumstance, that the three
set speeches which charged that the expenses
of the Navy are greater now than they ' were
before the war, were made by three ex-Con;
federate officers, on account of whose rebel-
lious course these very expenditures were in-
curred. -

The House yesterday passed Blaine’s pro-
posed Constitutional Amendment prohibiting
public support of Sectariau Schools.

The “Bloody Shirt” waive wasiuauguratcd
yesterday by Thurman, of Ohio, on the
motion to print the President’s South Caro-
lina message. The Senate adjourned with
Senator Edmonds delivering a scathing re-
view of democratic acts and policy ill the
South. 110 will conclude his speech to-
morrow.

Union, “this Centennial year.” The Presi-
dent bas issued therequired proclamation an-
nouncing the fact. She will,it is claimed,clect

for Tilden's letter, he might have better given

the democracy all of the Book of- Genesis

for a rallying cry.” He vows he shall never
live long enough to read it all through so as

Dr. Mary Walker, the noted woman’s
Rights Reformer, who adds interest to the
Congressional lobbies by her bloomer costume,

got up a woman’s Tilden Ratification meeting
last night at Lincoln Hall. There was a large,
‘cnthusiastic, and motly crowd present,
who cheered the lady orator in the most
tempostuous way until it was proposed to
take up a collection t9 pay for the Hall, the
printing and the advertising, when we are
sorry to say, a large part. of her democratic
auditors stampeded to the “corner grocery”
close by. I Dr. Mary avcrcd that “Tildeu’s
Woman’s heart and nature, would never
falter in their cause.” “Woman’s nature”
is good and seems to evoke no end of myste-
rious and interesting explanations.

Post Master General Tyner does not llesi- .

deems it studied purpose to put him in a false
light befbrc the country as to his having any
personal feeling towards Ex-Post-Master
Jewell or any of his appointees. On the
contrary he avows the opposite to be true.
The retirement of chief clerk Cowcll, wits a
matter of customary usage and no one sym-
pathises less than Mr. C. with the attempt to
make it appear that his removal was on ac-
count of his friendly relations with Gov.
Jewell, so of Mr. Woodward and Mr. Sperry
the special agents ; Mr. Tyner says some
one had to go, and upon information, it ap-
peared they would suffer less. pecuniary in-
convenience than any one else and for such
reason alone, were invited to give way. Wb
feel confident J udgc Tyner is entirely sincere
in those protestations for he knows it was
through Gov. Jewell that he was called to
“-0 place from which he naturally passgd ,up
to his present position.

Representative Lander-s is absent on sick
leave. J [.qu Phelps is better of his lame-
nesss and better in general health than _he
has been, but\is still far fromfbeing in robust
strength. Senator Barnum is suffering very
seriously from a carbuncle boil, at the base
of the‘brain. The dangerous location of the
boil and the intense pain it caused, were the
subject of serious apprehensions ambng his
friends for several days, but yesterday he
was about again, and with good prospects of
a speedy recovery. .

The numerous green and pretty yards
aboundiug, during this'long drouth, around
our borough and city, attest to the efficiency
of aprop'er and copious use of the public
water. Nothing enhances our dwelling places
more than a fine spot of green 'sward about
them, and we have heard visitors and others
comment frequently upon the handsome and
'fresh appearance that many of our dooryards
presented, being in such strong contrast to
the dried-up and burntoout appearances in
places where they had no water supply. , , In
that respect alone, the public water works
have been of very much value to property

. holders in both the borough andcity, and we

don’t believe either place could be induced to
go without it ever again.

P. S.—They are still at it. Mr. Allen
Betts’ccllar on the Newtowu Turnpike was
visited on Saturday night and a tub of lard,
butter, &c., carried of. As usual they had a
wagon and were tracked down into the vil-
lage. Where were our police ; can’t they
catch the rascals ? Is it possible they con-
tinue-to pay no attention to passing vehicles
at unreasonable hours of the night ! Years
ago,when I. R. Doty and John Roberts were on
the police, they used to stop strange vehicles
at late hours and find out their errand. It.isj
time that these petty thieves were caught,
they certainly have given chances enough .

 

 

'Grauite for the Gilbert Road.

Another cargo of granite blocks for founi
dation stone, for the Gilbert elevated railroad
in New York, was shipped from the wharf
of the Danbury & Norwalk railroad in the
Borough Saturday last. The blocks are from
the “Mine Hill” quarry, and are- of the same
size as mentioned a few weeks since in our
columns. This stone is said to be gotten out
with a very small amount of labor, owing to
the veins of the quarry being of such uni-
form thiekness', and quality. The receipts
of Feldspnr from Bidgcfield, and the granite
from Roxbury give the old railroad ‘wharf
quite a business appearance, and will furnish
employment for some of our idle men.

 

Quite a sensation was created one evening
last week, on several of our streets, by the
wild and hasty movements of several half-clad
youngsters, but the mystery was cleared up.
on their being recognized as the crew of the
new club shell. They had been? out for prac-
tice, and remaining a' little longer than usual
found the store basement in which their shore
clothes were stored, looked upon them, thence
perforce, they were obliged to run the gaunt-
let of the public streets in their half nude
state, to get to their homes for fresh suits.-

Q

We have it from_ good authority, that the
Connecticut National Guard will not parade
in New York on their return from the Cell-
tennial, as many of the papers are now stating.
Owing to the out of the way locations of
many of the companies, they would be pre-
vented from reaching home that day if 'the
brigade stopped to parade in the city there-
fore they will sail around, both in going and
coming. Delays are dangerous and the General
commanding does not wish to run any risks
of having any portion'of his. command miss
the only railroad connections that could get
them home on Saturday night,

Does advertising pay ? Is there any use
in indulging in such expense these hard
times ? Just look at the new roofs going on
and the quality of shingles being carted
through our streets, since Eb. Hill inserted
his shingle adv. two weeks ago, and notice
the number and size of vessels that have
been unloading at his yard. He is busy and

satisfied. . _

Feldspar in Ridgefield.

The arrival of sixty tons of Feldspar, at
the railroad wharf in this borough; by train
from Ridge‘field on . Wednesday morning
last, has excited. much interest among our
citizens, it being the first intimation that a
mine of this valuable ore had been discovered
in that place. The mine lies on the easterly
slope of what is. called. “West-rMountain,”
about one and a half miles westerly from the
Depot of the ‘Danbury'drNorwalk Railroad
in that village, and from present appearances
contains an inexhaustable'supply. _ ,

We'learn from Messrs. Bennett d: Co. of
Mott Haven, N. Y., who prepare the article
for market by roasting, grinding, &.c.,1 that
this is'b‘y far the best Feldspar yet discover-

white and remarkably. free from :fiint and
earthy matter. I This discovery is an impor-
tant one, as almost all Feldspar and its pro-
ducts heretofore used in this country has
been imported from abroad. _ Q ,

“ Professor Jameson,”~ divides iFeldspar
into four classes, and subdivides‘the classes
.many times. The classpf the- Ridgefield
Feldspa'r is the most valuable owing to its
color audits use has been very large for
many years past, andis constantly increasing.
Feldspar is used flir many useful purposes
and for'a great many purposes not go useful,
but asthe article will be used, we had better
use the home "article than"to import “it.
Among the useful purposes. for which it is
used, are porcelain wars of all kinds, door

_&c. The other uses,. most. of which are at

food, and articles» of manufacture; It is
found in nearly alllievvs and cheap. E writing
paper, in ground paints, in sugar, starch, and
in large percentage inconfectionary. manu-
factured by wholesale establishments, and in
numerous other articles where it is added to
make weight. This Feldspar is doubtless of
great valueas a fertilizer as it contains from
sixteen to eighteen per _cent. of potash.
Specimens of the ore may be seen at. our
office. The fortunate o‘wncr of the mine is
Mr. Samuel Gilbert of Bid gefield,’ and" we
congratulate him on'his good fortune, as we
learn that the parties who are miningit on

hundred tons per week.

This is the most charming season of . the
year for pic-nic and excursion‘parties, and
there is not a more healthy or pleasant way
for poor tired, human nature to recuperate
oradd vigor and tone to the system than by a
pleasant sail. on the water and a days recrea-
tion at the sea-side, and there is not a pleas-
auter or more enjoyable place along shore
than .Savin Rock, the place to which our
Congregational friends propose to make their
excursion by steamboat Laura, Capt. McNeil,
onKWedncsday the 16th inst. Many of our

citizens have already visited the place by the-

boat _on former excursions given by our Me-
thodist Churches, and have been charmed
with the spot . and much pleased with the
boat and its genial and pleasant commander,
therefore we opine that there will be a full
load-4a happy and joyous band, especially of
little ones—on the occasion of the Congrega.

Excursion to Virginia. -
Attention is called to an adv. in another
column of a grand Steamboat Excursion to
Virginia from Bridgeport on the 3lst of this
month, stopping at Philadelphia for about a
week,-—'the week the COM. Brigade is there. '
Mr. Brainerd, a man we can vouch for 'is to
be steward, so there will not be a lack of
good and properly prepared edibles, on the
trip. The fare is also quite reasonable and
the~excursion"will probably be a most enjoy-
able one.

Dun Guerra—Previous to the cruise‘of
this year, our club was the recipient of the
melancholy tidings of the death of _a particu-
lar friend to each—Mrs. Annie E. Hair, of
Worcester, Mass. Some four months ago, a
favorite sou, aged about 19, who wa'sin Ger-
many, prosecuting his st'lidies, was suddenly
taken from her by death, and the blow has

been doublv disastrous—ehisloss. and. her
ago.- She has been prostrated ever since his

death, and having rallied slightly resolved on
a change of air and scene. This romantic
spot was selected, where she has so often
kindly entertained us, but death came _sud-
denly and closed-her career. ' This estimable
and refined lady has for years- met the mem-
bers at this place, and her virtues and benig-
nity have endeared her to all. . She was
singularly gentle 'and sincere, and I am‘ sure
there is no member of our club but who will
endorse this statement. It was a trite saying,
“If you Wish to find any of the members on
shore, go‘ to Mrs. Hair’s cottage." Verily, '
“Death loves a shining mark!" Her hospi-
tality and kindness will be ever green in the
_ memories of the ‘Neptunes. We shall miss

The city authorities and contractor (don’t
that sound big) have been busy the past week
swabbing out the mud from the gutters on

The political outlook in the city of South
Norwalk is quite “Hayes”-y.
The cry is now, “the best men for office.”
The democracy always takes the most availa-
ble men—not always the best for office, as
was shown in the last election for city officers.
An election to decide upon accepting the
amendments to the charter, was held on Mon-
day of last week, and created more excite-
mcnt than any election since that of Presi-
dent, four years since. From early morning
until 3 p. m., the polls were watched, and
the lists frequently examined to see who ,had
voted. The men who are to be prominentpn
the new organization of city affairs, were conn-
staut in their attendance and in effort to per-
lundc men to vote “Yes” promising to save
to the city tax payers one-third of their taxes
but failed to show in what way it was to be
done. The deluded 165 who voted “No,”.
find that is impossible to overcome the in-
fluence of the great'mind which is now lead-
ing and managing political and city afiairs,
as that another year will make all the offices
and patronage an easy prey to his grasping
hand. The people will see it as they did in
1873, when it is too late, and will cry for
help when no help cometh. . '
Rev. J. J. Woolly, of R. I., is sojourning
a few days with friends in the city.
All adjourned meeting will be held on Fri-

of the Hayes and Wheeler campaign club.
No transparencies are yet exhibited, but it is

to have a side walk on Clay Street before
there had been a survey or lay out that he is
competent to be a judicious councilman. An-

Peruvinn' Syrup vs. Alcoholic Tonlel.

It has been a dcsideratum with the medical pro-
[fession to procure a. preparation of iron lees ob-

: jectionable than any of those now in use. which

often produce unfavorable effects upon the system,
es rec-lolly when prepared with alcoholic fluids.
ln _ many cases of dcbiiity and convalescencc
from disease, when a. tonic is indicated, wine,
brandy, porter, &C., have been recommended ; but
these are 0 1' very doubtful efficacy, to say the least.
A lcohoi is never digested, is ranked among the
diffusible stimuli, and is incapable of. affording
nutrition. It creates generally an unnatural ex-
citement and derangement of the circulationJrri-
tating the whole system by preventing the blood
from bsing its carbon. Again, new difficult it is
to obtain an article approaching to urity, almost
all the wines, braudics, porters, &c., )eing more or
less adulteratcd. ' .
. Such being the case with regard tothe spiritu-
ons preparations of iron, and the alcoholic drinks,
gating the subject, an opportunity is now present-
ed in the PERUVIAN sxnur. for the trial or an ar-
ticle in general practice. whichbas the very strong-_
cst recommendations from medical and scientific
men of” the highest character—a preparation which
so happily combines the protoxuie of‘ iron with
the other constituent parts that the efi'ects lncr-
dent to the use of' iron salts are cutirelyobvratcd.
For all cases in which won or any tonic is need-
ed this preparation is confidently believed to be
far superior to any other. ,It seems to purify the
very fountain of health. .
