almost every remedy commonly employed for ITS cure
with very little if any effect but who, after using the
Panacea, recovered quickly and entirely he related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary

weakness and Infection wherein repeated alHatons

". acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor and ID
the sunnot even of whole families until cure was ef.

ON PUNISHMENT OF SUICIDE.
From The Freenaa's JsrrnaL

A proposition has lately been submit
ted to the Massachusetts, Legislature TO
consider the expedieDcy Of authorizing
civil authorities to commit the bodies OF
ali suicides, and those who die by intern
perence, to surgeons for dissectIon.
The Salem Observer, pronounces IT
one of the most "inhuman propositions
which ever came before a legislative
assembly, 1t was only a year since
that. in this very State, repeal was
passed Of the Old Colony act, OF 1860,
which punished self murder with lnia-
my, by ordering the body Of the suicide
to be buried in the common highway,
with cart load of stones laid on his
grave. LatterIy, human laws for pur-
suing the bodies of ofie nders, Prescri-
bling an ignominious treatment, in or
der TO disgrace the memory of the
deceased, have been greatly ameliorated
1t is only within a few years, the En-
gIish statute has been repealed, by
which the property of the suicide was
forfeited, and his body was ignominious-
ly buried IN the highway, with a stake
driven through it.
Upon this subject, the language ni
Mr.. LIVINGSTON, in his celebrated Lou
isianian Code, is worthy of attention:
Suicide can never be punished but
by making the penalty whether il be
forfeiture or disgrace) fall exclusively
upon the innocent The English man
gle the remains of the dead. The in
animate body feels neither the ignomi
ny nor pain. The mind of the innocent
survivor alone is lacerated by this use
less and savage butchery; and the dis
grace of the execution 1t felt exclusive
" by him, although it ought to fall or
the laws which infict it. The father
by rash act of self. obstruction, de-
prives his family of the support he
ought to afford them, and the law com
pletes the work of ruin, by narrowing
up their feelings, covering them witt
disgrace, and by depriving them, by
forfeiture, of their means of subslst-
ence."
At late Court of General Sessions
held at Rome, Oneida County, n. York,
