THE BEST METHOD FOR THE
A ID OLHT THO N
OF DISEASE, IS TO CLEANSE AND PURIFY
THE BODY.
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS,
OftheMorth American College ofIfeqlth.

Ofthe.No'fh american College Of Heath.
Are now acknowledged to be the best medicine
in the world for the cure Of
EVERY T3RIETY OF DISEASES
because they thoroughly cleanse the stomach
and bowels of these bilious humors which not
only paralyze and weaken the digestive organs,
hut are the cause of headache, nausea and sick
ness Falpitation OF the heart, rheumatic pain in
various parts OF the body, and many other un-
pleasant complaints.
THE LNDI,4.N VEGETaBLE PILLS,
are also certain cure for Intermittent, remittent,
nervous. inflammatory and Putrid fevers be-
cause they cleanse the body of those morbid hu-
mors, which whenconined to the circulation are
the cause Of all kinds of
FEVERS.
also, when morbid fevcrs are deposited upon the
membrane and muscle, causing those pains, IN
damtions and swellings, called
RHEUMATISM, GuUT &C.,
the Indian Vegetable Pills may be relied on as al
ways certain to give relief, and if perseyered with,
will most assuredy and without fail, make per-
feet cure Of the above painful maladles. From
three TO six Of said Indian Vegetable Pills taken
every night going to bed viii in short timeIso
completely rid he body of every thing that is op-
posed to health, tina. Rheumatism, Guut and pain
ofevery description will be literally
DRIVEN FROM 1 HE BODY.
From he same reason, when from sudden
changes foatmospheIe any other cause, the
perspiration is checked, and those humors which
should pass off by the skin are thrown inwardly
causing
.SiEADACHE, GIDDINESS,
nausea and sickness, pain in tie bones, waiery
and infamed eyes, sore throat .hoarseness, coughs
consumptions, rheumatic pains in various parts
of the body and many other symptoms OF
CATCHING COLD
the Indian Vegetable Pills will invariably give i'm
mediate relief From three TO SIX of said Pills ia
ken every night on going to bed, will in short
time, not only remove all the above unpleasant
symptoms, but the body will be restored to even
sOunder healIL than before.
The same may be said of ASTHMA, OR DIFF
FICULTY OF BREATHING.
The Indian Vegetable Pills will loosen and carry
off by the stomach and bowels those phlegmy
humors which stop up the air cells of the lungs,
and are the cause not only OF the above Distress
ing complaint, but when neglected, often ter
inmates in a still more dreadful malady called
CONSUMPTION.
l; should also be RENE mbeied that the Indian
Vegetable Pills are certain cure for
PAIN IN TIE SIDE,
oppression. nausea and sickness, loss ofssappette,
costiyeness, yellow tinge OF the skin and eyes,
and every other symptom of a torpid or diseased
state of the liver; because they purge from the
body those impurities which if deposited upon
this important organ, are the cause OF every vari-

SMUT MACHINE.
The undersigned after experiment

The undersigned alter experiment
ting about fifteen years in manufacturing
smut machines, and using them, have at last
succeeded in obviating all defects, and they
now proffer to Millers that long desired ma
chine TO Gle ansiag and frightening grain for
Grinding.
1t is mide of durable materials, Cast and
wro't iror,w ii cast steel boxes & pivots, )very
compact, efficient, simple in construction.
not liable for years to get out of repair, and
easily taken to pieces and put together again.
1t is so constructed that the same FAN which
blows out the chaf and other light matter as
it leaves the machine, forces wind up into
the inside of the inner case, causing strong
current of air to operate horizontally upon
all the grain during its ,chote passage through
the mil. expellng every particle of dust as
soon as created Whereas in all other dura-
bic machines the pulverized smut, is, to a
great extent, suffered to mirglc again with
the grain, often sticking to the kernels, and
thus defeating the main object Of shutting.
The machine will clean from Is to IS
bushels of grain per hour.
Price $4,000 at their factory, warranted

THE SUPINENESS OF CONGRESS.

We have been more than once, of late, &C
cused, on the floor Of the Representative Hall,
of ''taunting" Congress with neglect of its du-
ties, and with wasting that time in petty cavils
about questions of trivial reform, which should
be devoted to dignfed legislation ON topics in
volving the most momentous interests of the
nation. We have been accused of injustice to
particular parties or sets of men, by not making
discrimination between the guilty and inno-
cent. We have been accused of presumptu-
Gus arrogance in daring to dictate to Congress
what are its du les and how they should be per-
formed.
We would not recur to this subject, were not
the charges daily reiterated We now say,
once for all, that what we wrote was not ad-
dressed to Congress at all, but to the People.
AS public journalists In the Capitol where Con-
gress is in session, we conceive it our duty to
inform the People how the public servants to
whose wisdom and industry the public welfare
is intrusted, discharge the functions i'm
posed upon them. Did we not do so we should be
recreant to our own obligations. We have neither
tainted Congress, nor presumed to dictate; we
have, we repeat, merely stated fact, of which
we feel it an imperative duty to inform the
People.
We have said, that during session of more
than three months, Congress has passed but one
bill of Importance; that the House has frittered
away its time in debates on trivial items of re-
form and that the Senate has been employ ed in
discussing abstract questions of constiutionality
and policy ASSOCIATED wholly from any schemes
of practical expediency. In saying so, nave we
not stated the truth
Day after day, the People have anxiously
looked-but looked in vain--for those, to whom
they have delegated the functions of legislation,
to rouse from their ethargy and legislate on
the important questions intrusted to their wis
dom. We have said Congress is culpable We
have not pretended TO investigate the causes of
the dilatory movement Of both branches of the
Legislature. We have not imputed the blame
to one party or the other; to one set of men or
to another set of men; we care not whether
the fault proceeds from the perplexity of the
rules which govern the House, or from the puny
ambition which seeks reputation notorety b
hourishes of eloquence, or exhibitions OF argu-
ments on small matters. Whatever be the
cause, we do not pretend to know it; and if we
did, the correction Of the evil is beyond our
power We have, therefore, contened our
selves with stating the fact. that three months
of legislative industry have resulted in produc-
ing almost nothing.
This fact we have stated not for the intorma-
would be supererogatory)- but for the informa-
ton of the People. We have not tainted Con-
gress, for our observations were not addressed
to it. We have not presumed to dictate to the
assembled wisdom in the Capitol, since we have

From The Calais (Me.O Journal,

MARVELLOUS EscAPE-We do not recollect when
we were affected by the recital of any circum-
stance than were by one narrated to the other
day. 1t appears that boy years of age, and the
son Of Dr. Doe, of this village, on Thursday last by
some accident, fell into WE'LL the depth of which
was 90 feet, and containing about feet of water.
We have it from the boys lips, that while in the WELL
he made repeated but Intellectual calls for help TILL
perceiving that none to his assistance, he re-
solved to attempt to extricae himself; he according
ly drew himself up the well by placing his hands up
the stones, which literally covered with ice
until he came within few feet of the top, when his
hold gave way, and he was precpitated again to the
bottom This attempt he tells us he made the second
and third time with no better success falling each
time to the bottom of the well. But, not yet dis
heartened, he made the fourth attempt and succeed
ed, through some mysterious means, in getting out
and thus saving his life We learn that nothwth
standing he was so completely exhausted as to be
obliged to make the greatest exertion to get home,
which was but short distance, he is doing well, and
nothing fatal is likely to result from the accident

DEFENCES OF THE GULF OF
MEXICO.

Among the many and important measures Of
defence recommended by the Secretaries of
War and of the Navy, there is none that has
greater claims to consideration than the plan
proposed by the head Of the last named depart
ment for guarding the entrance to the MISSISSIPPI
p and thus protecting the vast regions watered
by that river and its tributaries. 1t appears from
report of the Secretary of the Navy, dated
January 31st, 1912, that the narrow pass be-
tween the Island of Cuba and the shores of
Florida must, owing to the peculiar direction of
the currents, be regarded the outlet to the trade
of the Mississippi valley. This being the case,
1t is competent for two steam frigates, in the
event of hostilites with any foreign power, to
put stop TO portion Of our commerce, i'm
mensely valuable at present, and increasing in
importance every hour. To prevent such a
state OF things is the object of the Honorable
Secretary's suggestions, and we risk nothing in
saying that all who will take dispassionate
view of the matter will yield hearty assent to
the excellence of the manner in which he pro-
poses to attain the end. Looking to the peculi-
arities Of the navigation of the Gulf of Mexico
and the neighboring waters, war steamers of
moderate size are recommended as the vessels
which can be most advantageously employed.
1t is proposed that these steamers be made Of
