CoMMuNIcArED.-One of the greatest discoveries
of the age, is Doctor Taylor's Basam of Lverwort.
1t is medicine that should always be in everybodys
house. rich or poor; it will prevent coughs and colds
becoming settled on the ungsif if taken in time. It
has cured so many cases of tubercuar consumption,
and the proof so strong, that all who will take the
trouble to inquire be fully satisfied and the coun.
tereits and limitations under various names and forms
are no slight proof of its superior excellence. One
of public institutions, where it has been exhibit.
ed with unparalleled success, have rendered the doc.
tor strong and conclusive testimony of their faith
in its perfect efficacy in curing pulmonary and tuber.
cular consumption, bronchitis, asthma, liver com.
Piant dyspepsia, drospsy, coughs, colds, splitting of
blood, &c. am rejoiced to hear of its increasing
use by the public They should in all cases see DR..

Tho history Of Locofoco predictions and de-
cep'iOns for the last six or eight years in this
country, and especially in Ohio, would present a
curious spectacle. In matters of political di(.
ference, neither party is apt TO be so absolutely
and entirely wrong but that appearances can be

given TO slide off unobserved, upon other ques.
lions, without very complete exposure. It is
