LII AMPTON'S VEGETABLE IlNCFURE FUN
THE CURE OF CHRONIC DISEASES.-The
most safe and certain remedy ever known to the
world for various chronic Diseases after they have
reached state and assumed character, hitherto
considered desperate and incurable.
Chronic Rheumatism, Scrofula, Kings Evil at
tended with swengs and ulcers sore eyes, and loss
of sight to frghtful extent, have been cured. Fe-
males pinng away by reason Of deranged secretions
broken calculations and obstructed menses (monthly
courses) when attended by spasms or fits have
been readily relieved.
Dyspepsia yields without struggle to its mild yet
powerful action upon the stomach. In Catarrh, or
Cough Rheumatism, and Fistula, it never fails to
cure, as we have fully proved All diseases having
their origin in impure state of the blood and fluids
will be speedily and eectually removed by this in
valuable medicine.
This tncture tends directly to excite healthy ac-
ton in the stomach liver lungs, and Kidneys to pu-
rfy the blood and other fluids, by expelllng every
particle Of morbid matter from the system, and
therefore fails to prove valuable remedy for
the diseases which calome has been invariably used
Old and ulcers, or any chronic Affection and
for the calomel disease it is infallibe remedy.
This remedy is perfectly vegetable, mild agree
abe and safe for persons of any age, either SEX or
any condition, acknowledged by those who have tried
it, to be the best known family medicine.
The Justly celebrated tincture creates craving
appetite and the patient is left at liberty to indulge
it. The use of this medicine will change the COM
plexon from paid to fine blooming one. After
using this tincture for six weeks, person of any
age may eat anything that child Of ten years of
age, in full health could eat, without the least in
convenience.
Dr. Hampton is in possession of certificates from
the Hon Henry Clay, Col richard M. Johnson, Hon.
John B Dawson, of La, and many others, who have
been benefited by the use of this tincture.

THE TRUTH SOMETIMES NOT FOUND OUT

ss#A a UNTIL TOO LHIE. tttf@
OUCH is often the in regard to persons taking
y medicine. They are induced by plausible rea-
soning false representation and DOCTRINES to employ
medicines that so far from being adapted to their
disease or sickness, absolutely increase the symp-
toms, destroy the constitution, rack the whole
system, and bring on gradual decline, terminating
in death previous to the fatal termination, however,
(but unfortunately too late the truth is found out
that the pills. mixtures SIC. they have been taking
were composed Of the most powerful and dangerous
ingredients, prepared too by persons knowing nothing

mend, depending altogether upon the general doc
trine of such imposters,'' that their medicines will

repsa the protection guaranteed by the comprons-
Use and G1- James X. Polk. of Tennessee, who
W as at that time the Chairman of that very Com
mittee of Ways and Means, voted for that reso-
luton. IN There were SO yeas in favor of that
resolution, and lis nays against it. In voting
for that resolution the deliberate design Of which
was to violate the pledges given in the comprom-
Use, Mr.. Polk was backed by six of the nine men,
bers of that same committee, and by all the Null
litiers and ant-tarif men in the House,"
Where could be found a more consistent friend
of ultra free trade than Mr.. Polk is here shown
to be! What act of his life can be brought in
contrast with it? Not one. His whole course,
from the commencement of his political career,
has been characterized by persevering, consist
ent effort to destroy the protective policy. Can
Calhoun or McDuffie. or Mr.. Golden, show more
uniform, and to that intent more prudently adj
vised hostility to protection! How reckless
must those persons be, then, who claim for him
even moderate friendship to the protective pol
icy. He is free trader, " died in the wool"
The Nulliiers' skirts, even, are less free from
all stain Of protection than those of Mr. Polk
He not only voted for the compromise as free
trader, because it yielded something on the part
of the tariff men, but not satisfied with even that,
he year afterwards joins the Nullfers in de-
handing yet greater concessions.
The case stands thus The tariff law of March
1888, was compromise. Between whom! Be-
tween the tariff men on one side, and the free
traders on the other. Mr.. Polk declares in his
Memphis pamphlet, that he marched up to the
compromise from the side Of free trade, because
something was yielded by the protectionists to
the free traders. But not satisfied with the COM
promise, because it afforded too much protection
to home industry, he in less than twelve months
after it's passage unites with the Nullifiers in an
effort to take away the little protection which the
compromise gave.
Mr.. Clay, it must be remembered, voted for
the compromise act, because, though strong
advocate for protection, he felt that it was neces
sary to yield something for the sake of peace and
union.
1t is folly, then, for Mr.. Polk, or his friends in
Pennsylvania, to rank him among the friends Of
protection, or even Of the compromise act.
