n the book OF nature end Of eomnon ssnss, tbss
the natural vegetable productions Of every country
are, Il properly applied, amply sufficient for the cure
Of every malady incident to each peculiar climate.
WRIsHI's IEDlAS VEGETABLE P1Ls o. the North
American College Of Health, are composed Of plants
which grow spontaneously on our own soil, and are
therefore better adapted 10 cur constitutions than
medicines concocted from foreign drugs, however wel
they may be compounded; and as they are founded
upon the principle that the human body Is In truth
subject 70 but one disease viz corrupt humors, and
that said medicine cures this disease natural prn
cipes by cleasing and purifying the body; it will be
manifest that ii the constitution be Rot entirely ex
hsusted-a perseverance IN their use according 10
directions, is absolutely certain TO drive disease Of
every name from the body.
When we wish 10 restore swamp OF noress 10
fertility, we drain Of the superabundant waters
in like manner If we wish 70 restore the body 10
health, we must cleanse il Of impurity.
WRIeHTs IyDIAS VEGETABLE Pills Will be found
one OF the best If not the very best medicine in the
world for carrying out this grand purifying principle,
because they expel from the body all morbid and cor
upt humors, the cause Of disease easy and nat
ural manner; and while they every day give and
pleasure disease Of every name rsPdy driven from
the body.

The popularity of Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills
has proved strong bait to unprinciped men, who, in
stigated by the hope of gain, attempt to palm off
spurious article on the unsuspecting To defeat the
designs of such men We have procured new labels
and the written signature of VIM. Wright will now
be found on the top label of each Eox. None Other
is genuine, and to counterfeit this is forgery.

MINISTER TO BRAzIL.-George w. Hopkins,
of Virginia, has been appointed Minister to Bra
zil, and confirmed by the Senate. Mr.. Hopkins
succeeds Henry A. Wise, who is, we bolicve at
his own request, recalled.
CHARLES ]. lNGERsoLL was appointed Minister
to France, and rejected by the Senate. This is,
we believe, tho only instance in which the Senate
dared 10 disobey the mandate-the pompous dicta-
tion Of its "royal MASTER" True, for time it
manifested a shov Of resistance; but the finale
proves it was only Show-a mere fent al indepon-
dence, TO hide from the world the instability and
subservency-lhe degeneracy that characterized
its last moments. Had the session continued a
single day longer, we have no doubt but that this
nomination would be reconsdered, and Charles
j. lngersoll, The beler, would have been our ac-
credited Minister at the court of ST.. Cloud.
