enough to you in favor ofAliberl's Oleagnous Hail

off about two years, and had become very thin
threatening speedy badness, when commenced
using this remedy. In about one week it ceased to
fall off.
have used it now about three months, and have
as full and thick head of hair can possibly
desire, have recommended its use to number OF
my friends, who all speak well of it, If faithfully
employed, have no doubt of its general success
may add, that before using the Tonic, | had tried
almost all the various articles employed for the hair
such as the Macassar Oil, all the different prepara-

without experiencing much, ifany benefit.

SYNOPSIS OF THE
Brandrethian Method
of Curing Disease.

From whatever cause arising, (all ending
in the same Effect. e., producing
impure Blood and Flnids),
With one, and
ONLY ONE MEDICINE;
The capabilty of which has been fully prov
ed, beyond the power of malgnity,
envy, or malice to gainsay.
ENIRSTLY.--Py PAIN cannot exist but from COR
IL RUPT HUMORS being seated in the ident-
cal part where the pain is experienced, These
corrupt humors. when IN sufficient quantity to
overpower The principle of life, are the positive
cause Of death.
1t is a solemn truth that corruption terminates
the existence of all created beings; the Importance
OF its speedy removal from the body, when by any
cause it has accumulated, is therefore self evident
as not only health, but EXISTENCE being abso-
lutely endangered by its presence.
Let then acknowledge that the only sure
means of preventing and curing disease, is the
speedy removal of corrupt humors from the body.
Disease being only another name for corruption,
and corruption, or corrupt humors being identified
in all cases as ,mparity ct Hood,
Secondly.-PURG.A7IVE MEDICINE, when
resorted to in season, that is, while there is suf
cient vitality remaining in the system, will remove
corrapton; thus the blood is purified; thus chronic
| infrmlties and premature death are prevented
| thus, those whose lives are OF the utmost impnr-
lance 10 their country ana anliles are oI'en saVeu
| The importance OF this discovery of curing dis
ease, after ages will do justice to; DR.. Benjamin
Brandreth will not then be styled "ignorant
preender." Int that will neither please offend
| him. in the recttude of bis own acts, in the quiet
! of his own conscience, is his reward. ...
| The great, The immortal Bacon says, at is i'm
possible to calculate how many days might be adj
ded to the life of man by the occasional use Of
purging medicines THAT neir effect upon the human
frame is the that pruning trees has upon them.
The excresences removed, and new stimulus
is created. That when constant exercise cannot
be used from any cause, the occasional use Of open
| ing medicine is absolutely required Thus, the
conduits of the blood the fountain Of life are kept
free from impurities which would prevent its steady
current mnislcring health, Thus, morbid humors
are prevented from becoming mixed with it. 1t is
nature which is thus assisted through the and
outlets which she has provided for herseE'
| With such authority as this before US, we may
| indeed use The expression, .-..
sDCleanse and purify The Body.4Ea
| The application Of the principle of purgation
being allowed 10 be one Of the greatest utility, in
| the cure and prevention Of disease, it is Of the
greatest consequence to ascertein what medicine is
capable Of producing the desired effect, in the east

time been exceedingly thin. But for the two or
three years past il had fallen out that my head
had become almost entirely rad, | was under the
necessity of conceaing the badness by combing the

half bottle of the "Tonic," have as luxuriant u
growth of hair as ever had. G. c. PARK.
The Rev. Leonard Fletcher, Bastor of the Baptist
Church, at Great Valley, Pa who had been more
or less bald for many years, used three bottles of
the HAIR ToNIc and has fine growth OF new
hair over all that part of his head where he was
bald, writes
"Nly hair is growing finally, assure you"
Vest Chester, Pa. March Cd, 1889.
Mr. Bond, one of the Compostors in the Office Of
the Philadelphia Public Ledger who had lost nearly
all his hair from off the top of his head, has had it
completely restored by the use ofthis Tone. Two
Officers OF the American Navy had good heads OF
hair restored to them by using five bottles each Of
this HAIR TOXIC, one Of whom over sixty years
of age. -Four gentlemen connected with the Public
Press in Philadelphia have also had their badness
removed by using this remedy. The Rev. Mr. Par
ker, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Delaware
County, Pa. who was completely bald over all the
top of MS head, and was also becoming considerably
gray, has used only two bottles of this Tonic, and
has not only luxuriant growth of new hair upon
his head, but all the gray hairs have disappeared,
and their places Lave been supplied by healthy hair,
ola natural colour. Finally, nine of badness
out Of every ten may positively be removed by Il
faithful application IF this valuable remedy There
is therefore, now, NO EXCUSE FOR A BALD

contested election between Messrs. Naylor
and lngersoll. That letter states a man BY
the name of Doyle ''proved beyond doubt one
thousand and serenty sac false votes i'm the
five Wing wards Of the Northern Liberties"
Now, Mis statement IS totally false and an
founded. There has not only not been one il
legal vote proven, but not even a sinple fraud
of the slightest character established. Erery
material statement an the Globes letter is false.
lngersoll, instead of making out a case, is on
ly making himself ridiculous. Every wit
ness he has produced has been asked by MIR.
MAYORS counsel whether they knew of a
single fraud, Illegally or i-reguiarity in that
election, and they have all been forced to an
swer No.
Ingersoll's friends, many of them, openly
express their disgust at his course. and de-
clare that they cannot be induced aoain to
vote Tor him on any account.
Nearly all the evidence he has offered is
hcarsay and consists in detailing what man
by the name of Gill said. Gill was not an
officer OF election in Mr.. MAYORS district.
He was not even a resident of the district, and
took no part in the election, and knew, i'm
fact, no more about it than if he had lived in
another State. He, however, is procured by
some means or other to make statements of
frauds. And this being done, Ingersoll
brings forward witnesses to swear to wha,
he had said. The whole tale is so utterly alb
surd that no human being could believe it,
even IT Gill had sworn TO it !; besides, it can
be disproved in dozen different ways.
The frst witness that Ingersoll brings for
ward to swear to what Gill said, is nan by
the name of NcGinnity. He tells long
story, Is occupied whole day about it, says
that Gill has been his most intimate friend
f fora number of years, and then concludes by
, saying that he (GilD is a great scoundrel, a
, thlef, and robber, and that he ,couM not be-
ftere him q, ms oath This is the whole OF
: lngersolls testimony so far.
You may rest assured that Mr. MAYORS
a majority Ti5) will not be reduced by the
proof OF a single illegal vote; and that his
: cause will be triumphant, to the utter confu-
p sion of his antagonist.

NEW JERSEY CASE.

The Administration members from the
State of New Jersey presented themselves
at the Speakers desk this morning demand
ing to be sworn in.
Mr.. JENlFER, Of Md. presented a resc-
luton, proposing that the members at the
Speakers desk be not allowed to be sworn
IN until the second Monday in April, the day
set apart by the Committee on Elections for
the final consideration of the subject.
The Speaker was of opinion that the reso-
luton was not in order.
Mr.. JENIFER said he should not press
the consideration of this resolution, or an
peal from the decision of the Chair.
Mr.. PROFIT, of Indiana, asked if he had
not right to ask whether the members A.
bout to be admitted had their credentials.
AS a member of the House he called for the
credentials.
The Speaker said that the members had
been admitted by resolution.
Without further objections the Speaker left
the Chair, and administered the oath to sup
port the Constitution.

New YoRK, March II. 1910.

The penny postage plan, according to the
british newspapers, is working well in Eng
land. Our country seems slow to adopt the
important lesson this teaches us. am sur
prlsed that this great reform attracts so little
attention in Congress. Reform, indeed, is not
a word significant enough to embody the idea
of progress which such revolution in inter-
course effects. The penny postage is the in
tellectual railroad of the age.
From CANTON OF rather Macao we have
dates to November 9Th by an arrival here
one day later than ria England. A report
prevailed at Macao that the Chinese had cut
OF trade with all nations. November sth the
English proceeded to Hong-kong to attack
the forts at that place. The commander of
the Chinese flotilla, so unlucky in the onset
his junks threatened to make upon the Eng
lish ship Of war, Voltage, has been imprison-
ed, and it is supposed he will lose his head.

cans at Macao were prepared to embark at

The New York correspondent of the Ma.
tlonal lntelligencer states that every thing in
that city is coming down to the hard money
standard. Flour is down to S5-there never
was less business doing--the poor were sell
dom SO often out off employ, while there is an
abundance of the precious metals in the hands
OF the rich, low rate of interest, low rate
OF labor low prices for property, with no sti-
muius TO enterprise, and no support to active,
industrious, thrifty young men. There has
been nothing like it since the embargo. John
Jacob Astor (the richest man in the Union, J
is foreclosing many of his mortgages, and
when rise of property comes again his inns
mense wealth will be amazingly increased.
There never were (says the writer,) such
times for the rich, and there never were such
times for the poor.
