In July last the Senate adjourned without acting
upon the treaty so promptly ratified by Denmark for the
cession to the United States of the Island of St. Thomas.
The limitation for the ratification having expired, the
President, in September last, proposed to the Danish Go-
vernment that the period for the ratification by the United
States should be enlarged one year, so that the Senate
might be afforded time to act upon the treaty. The Cable
telegram relative to the postponement of the cession is by
the State Department understcod to mean that Denmark
has accepted the President's proposition.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] -Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Comfort, Health, and Safety.—These blessings are beyond all
price in money value. Possessing these no reflective person will
complain of his position or pecuniary circumstances. Hollo-
way's far-famed remedies can everywhere be purchase I at a
trifling cost, and with them most disorders may be immediately
set right, and most diseases defied. Skin affections, sores, ulcere,
superficial and deep-seated inflammation, with a long list of
other ailments, readily succumb to the virtue of his Ointment,
while internal complaints yield with facility to his Pills. Invalids
having these invaluable remedies at hand cannot be at a loss for
effectively treating these maladies, whatever their nature or
duration, since "directions for use" envelope every packet.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Henceorth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21, 1866. The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta,
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We
extract a few out of more than 69.000 cures:—Cure No. 58,216, of
the Marchioness de Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint,
wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation
all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the moat in-
tolerable nervous agitation. Cure No. 1.771: Lord Stuart do
Decies, Lord-Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia.
No. 49,832: "Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia,
nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms,
sickness, and vomiting —Maria Joly " Cure No. 46,270: Mr
James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs,
spitting of blood, liver derangement, aid pariial deafness. Im-
portant Caution—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than
sloppy imitations to which, without authority, Baron Liebig's
name is most audaciously attached.
