IL Obstruction.
What is the cause Of Hemmorage, and

Obstruction.
What is the cause Of Consum pton
and Abscc IS?

What is the cause Of Bronchitis?
OBSTRUCTION-
Producing inflammation Of the lining

And what is Asthma, or difficulty OF
breathing, but obstruction, caused by
this mucous or puruent excfetion, clog

ing respiration?
Remove this obstruction, and there
will be no fever nor nfammation--no
pain nor cough--no abscess nor Con-
sumption--no hemmorhage nor splitting
of blood--no Asthma or difficulty of
breathing, but restoration TO health
will be certain. And what is the True
remedy pointed out by nature to remove
this Obstruction?
The answer is, Expectation. Yes,
Expectora,ion is natures remedy. For,
reader, there is no other outlet for the
lungs to discharge their vltiated excre-
tions, but thro' the Trachea, or Wind
Pipe, and this natural discharge is Er

To assist nature, and produce this de.

'.that all persons within the the Inns If
The State shall have a right 10 receive and
circulate such money, notes, or evidences
of debt, as hey may think proper, excep,
such as are counterfeit or fraudulent" &c
The motion was finally decided 10 be out Of
order. Mr. Burchard offered TO amend The
first clause Of the first section, which as>
seris that'all men are born equally free and
independent" by inserting after the word
"men," ''negroes and mulat,oes excepted"
He wished the Constitution to appear con.
sistent on its face. This bill declared that
all men are free and equal; the suffrage
bill denied that position, and if in that bill
negroes and mulattoes were to be psoscri.
bed, he declared the assertion to be libel
II was for this reason he offered the amend
ment. The proposition WAS rejected, as
also several others which were suade, when
the Convention adjourned.
