CONFESSION.

T THE SUBSCRIBER, publicly confess that l
Z have been afflicted with a SECRET DISEASE ever
since 1928; had thirteen eminent physicians whose
names are recorded at the French Medical House,;
some of them abated the disease, but it always res
turned worse than BEFORE until carried away both
sides of my throat and pierced the top of the palate
also lost several bones of my and was almost
blind of an eye and my face was covered with an
immense quantity Of scabs, between which the skin
was as red scarlet, and | was indeed in most de-
plorabe condition, so much that the learned pro-
fessor S. pronounced me incurable. 1t was obvious
to me, then, that common doctor could not extr-
cate me from the Jaws of death-for they all follow
the same old roe, with their train of mercury, mix
lures or pills, invented by ignorance and continued
by cupidity, and do good to any but the Uenders
Several persons recommended the French Doctor
of the Medical House, l6 South FREDERICK
ST, as Il scientific man and rare genius in those
complaints. | went to him and he pledged himself
to cure me on written guaranty, and he furnished
me with one room III house, he generally does
with strangers at nex 9Dfo pay. L did not hest
tate at all, seeing many likenesses of patients
who are living evidences of the many wonderful
cures he has performed in almost every kind of dis
ease. Then he had my daguerreotype likeness TAX
en- and took his medicine for about year, which
completely cured me. He had then my other like
taken and both to be seen at his office. If
this meets the eve Of some wretched being in the
grasp of death, as was, let him fly to this praise
worthy philanthropist, whose deep knowledge OF the
vital principles which animate and move the human
frame, are known in both hemispheres and | be-
eve from my very soul (not forgetting that am on
oath) that his exquisite genius will discover many
new and we'll appropriated remedies, as dis
eases may be formed. HENRY Drummer.

NO MERCURY OR COPAIVA.

YENHERE are two ways to treat Secret Disease,
4 the first, so much hoasted of, is merely the
temporary disappearance of the symptoms, by
means of mercury or copaiva and requires but a
day or two but it is very injurious indeed the Sc
cond way is to eradicate it out of the system, slow
ly, safely, and surely, without Mercury Copaiva.

Sound in a day or two,
IT'S too good to be true.

Thirty odd years of experience in the scientGs
practice of curing Secret Diseases in Paris and A
merica, have enabled the French Doctor of the
French MEDICAL HOUSE, 16 south Frederick St
near Second street, to eradicate the most viruIent
disease, no matter from what cause it may have
originated, in very short but reasonable time,
without Mercury or Copaiva Victims of an i'm
proper treatment and wearled with disappointment,

ed their Health by a certain practice called solitary
vice. which brings impotency, will be restored to
prime vigor. This is the only place in BALTI-

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.

We have received an important communist
ton by the telegraph, announcing that the Prssa-
dent sent message TO Congress, at II O'Clock
yesterday, In which he stated that all attempts 70
bring our relations with Mexico to peaccable
termination had failed, and announcing that the
two countries were at war.
The President, in his message, afler referring to
the various injuries received at the hands OF Mex
ico recapituates the efforts made during the past
year to effect settlement by negotiation, and also
the recent occurrences on the Rio Grande. He
states that previous to the appointment of Nh.
Slidell, in October last, the inquiry was made
through our consul at Matamoras-whether
minister from the United States would be received
by the Mexican government, and an affirmative
answer given on the condition that the American
naval force should be Withdrawn from before

to receive Mr.. Slidell, but was prevented by tho

asks authority to call out large body OF volun-
teers for twelve months service, and that appro.

In the Senate, after the reading Of the message
spirited discussion ensued, in which Mr.. Calhoun
took mn active part. He insisted that, according
to the constitution of the United States, no war
