Bartine,s Lotion.

N Gases of 'G0ut, Rheumatism, S,Dellings of all
- Kinds, DisLocations and Fractured Bones, Brui-
ses, Cufs, Commissions attended with pain and in
fiafnmatiop, Poisonous .Bies and Sings, Burns,
ScaIds, Chil5lains, Coras or Bunions and Wounds
ot every description it affords immediate and per-
manent relief 1t is, perhaps the only article that
can bc depended upon in The euro of those Pains
in the back and side generally produced by taking
cold after violent exertion and overheating. For
Glarldular Iumors Lumbago, Erysipelas, letter
on RingsUorna, and all kinds Of Ernptions Of the
Skin, Il IL most excellent remedy. For Fevey and
Agns, Agnc in the Breast and Face, Cyanp in the
Stomach, and Headache, it acts like charm. But
above all, in the cure Of Tendinous and Capsular
injuries, Sprains and Wounds Of every description,
it shows in a most astonishing manner, its magical
powers ilfH .s!att t'l4 sf
In addition to the benign influence the Lection ex.
erts over the infrmities of man. it has been found
no less valuable in similar complaints to which in
ferior, animals are subject particularly the Horse.
In cases, where it has been applied to this fine
creature for slight injuries, it has, in addition to an
almost instantaneous cure, given apparently new
animation, to such an extent that in various in
stances the winning of race has been tenaciously
ascribed to its stimulating and happy effects
The Lotion is composed entirely of the medicinal
properties Of vegetable substances, concentrated and
rendered most pure by dstillaton and other chemi-
cal processes AS inward medicine, it is of the
most innocent, wholesome, stimulating and cheern
ing character, and will expel, instantly, those dull
heavy and hypochondriaca feelings to which many
are SO subject and give life and animation to both
body and mind. h#1hHs VIM. @. FORCE, @ts5t

NEW YORK CONVENTION.

The whole Of the democratic ticket III Delegates. Ito

lines of party preserved throughout the State How
different was the conduct Of the people of Virginia. IN
1922 when called upon elect delegates to reform their
constitution. No party considerations had any weight
whatever The best talents and arges, experience were
sought f and though the State was decidedly Jackson
ian the tine, mae,y perhaps Of the members Of the
Convention was opposed To the Administration. We
confess We anticipate nothing but evil from The approach
ing Convention in New York; We knnw not exactly
what the practical grievances complained Of in the
presen, Constitution. They cannot be many. or very
. rous since evident. from the prosperity Of the
State tina, the Constitution has worked well the
whole. The amendments to be made, we f-ar will be
Of the mos, radical character. The widest notions are
af'at, particularly in the city, which will have. nnorlu.
na,ely, dispropor'iunae influence in the body.
