H E ADAC II E.

This disease is warning from nature, that the
blood is in very foul state, and that the humors
are charged with accrimony. Headache gives no.
tice of the imminent danger that awaits the body !;
why disregard this warning ofnature? Do you sup
pose YOU can cure it with cologne water, bay rum,
or smelling salts' Most certainly not; only symp-
tom, an indication that the nerves are being acted
on by the foulness and accrimony of the humors.-
The disease itselfs in your blood When you have
the headache, do not risk your health and life by
not needing the warning that nature is giving you,
but use DR.. Sweetser's Panacea freely, it will purify
vour blood and improve the health and circulation
generally. Persons are always stronger after TAX
inc than BEFORE as it merely removes the dross from
the body and leave the pure blood remain.
APPoPLExY,
IF properly examined, will be found to be only an
aggravated state of Lehargy as Lethargy is an ag
gravated stated of Drowsiness. The vessels and
Veins being closed up with corrupt sagnant humors,
diminish the circulation and prevent the blood from
supplying and nourishing the brain, by purifying the
blood with DR.. Sweetsers Panacea all appoetic
SYMPTOM, are carried off: Those who have ten
dency to appoplexy, can never keep their blood in
too gooo condition. Frequent purifying with this
Vegetable Panacea, will always insure against an
attack of this malady, which So often proves fatal.
There is not man, woman or child, who cannot at
this time use DR.. Sweetser's Panacea with benefit
to themselves-t always leaves the body in strong
er condition after its use than before, and it pro-
notes healthy growth of children by keeping their
body and fluids in clearly and healthy state.

WHOLESOME ADvIcE.-An exchange paper
very justly says that because an establishment
has been fixed in one spot for great number
of years, it is no reason that every body should
know it, neither does it follow that it must do "A
good share of business. As well might it be
contended that the old men who have lived to
the age of three score and ten years in one
spot, are known to every body. The truth is
that old establishments outlive their customers
as old men outlve their acquaintances, and un-
less measures are adopted to renew their Gus
tom by giving publicity to their pursuits through
the public newspapers, they too will be neg
lccted and forgotten.
Those who wish to do bnsine IS now must
inform the present generation that they are
prepared TO supply the demands of the public.
Ii is not enough that the past generation have
read their advertisements Those who hope TO
do business now must advertise now

\ AUXILIARY ANcHoR.-Mr. John Holmes, of
Holmes Hole, Martha's Vineyard, has pro-
jected an auxiliary anchor to be used in cnses
of great danger, when the anchor of vessels
may be dragging. We have seen drawing

Mutual Insurance Co., Wall street, this city
1t appears to us that if adopted and used by all
vessels, il would be the means of saving hun
dreds of lives every year. 1t is to BIS made OF

ually along down ii by the pitching of the ves-
sci. The under part Of II is fiat with spring
fuke. which projects on the point and holds
Ike the lluke of any other anchor. To sea-
faring men the nature Of this invention is ap-
parent, and as the inventor is a person long and
intimately acquainted with the danger of YES

! OUR VOLUNTEER CoRPs IN MExIco.-The
following is an extract of Letter from an Off
Ger of the Third Regiment of Kentucky Volun-
teers, now in Mexico, which we find in the
latest number of the Louisville Public Journal
City of Mexico, February !, 1913.
No Improvement will be made in the army,
either in drill or discipline untll.t is ascertain
I'd whether or not we shall have peace; for
among the volunteers whose term Of service
will expire with the coming Of that event there
is no incentive TO prepare for further military
operation. The only subject talked of now is
how we shall get home. Vera Cruz and the
voyage over the Gulf are the grand obstacles,
and the apprehension of accidents and disease
is constantly upon the lips of some one A
soldier does not fear the battle. but he breads
disease; and many would rather go through
battle every week than 10 risk one severe attack
Of fever in this country. This is a peculiar
climatc-beautful, calm, and serene /; but the
atmosphere has so much less oxygen in il that
the whole economy of life is changed. The
pulsaion is increased almost double in freQuen-
cy, and there is want of that yigor and rO-
bust feeling which our climate affords a healthy
man, and, once reduced by disease here, il is
almost impossible to regain health and strength.
The mornings are cool, too cool for man in
relaxed state of health to exercise without dam
ger Of taking cold, which is almost as bad as
any other disease here, and the day is so hot
that the rays of the sun cannot be borne with
out producing fever. The natives wrap up in
cloaks in the morning, and retire at noon.
The health of the volunteers is improving,
and there have been but very few new cases Of
sickness since our arrival in this city, which
ought to be attributed to the climate. The loss
by sickness in the whole army is immense,
and, if the good Christian fathers and mothers
of the United States could witness the distress
and agony of their sons in this far distant and
nhospitable land, they would all cry out with
one voice for peace, and there would not be an
honest advocate for another invasive war for
half century to come. do sincerely hope
an honorable peace will be concluded, and
speedy termination put to the calamites of this
unnecessary war

The New SouSD STEAMER.-IHe Empire
Satc.-The n. Y. Mercantile Times in speak
ing of the construction Of several new and
elegant steamers, at the yards Of that city
says
:" Among them We may mention the Empire
State, a steamer intended for the Sound, in the
Boston line, ria Fall River. So massive and
firm is her frame that her immense and pom
dcrous machinery is to be placed in her on the
stocks, and launched with her. Few vessels
would endure to be started from their ways
with such burden on board. The tonnage
of this steamer is 1900; and she is not more
remarkable for her strength and huge proper
tlons than for her symmetry and graceful out
line, and the elaborate and beautiful finish of
all her details. When we add that she is to
be commanded by Capt. Comstock we leave
nothing unsaid that is necessary to pre-engage
public confidence and favor"

a REWARD FOR THE BEAcHEs.-rhc cor

of concurrent resolutions, introduced by Mr..
Leupp, with preamble setting forth, that an
Asahel Beach and Henry ID. Beach, the former
President and the latter Cashier of the late

DECISION OF THE SUPREME CouRT-WAsH-
ISGToS, March THE Supreme Court de-
lyered The opinion of the Court this morning
upon the question of the Merchants Bank ver-
sus the New Jersey Steam Navigation Com
pany. The judgment Of the Circuit is affirm
cd.
The opinion was read by Judge Nelson, and
is very elaborate nearly an hour was occupied
in reading. The decision of the Court below
was that the carriers should pay for the specie,
for the SAT, carriage Of which llarnden a. Co.
had receipted The special contract of Harm
den q Co. was with the steamboat company
They agreed 10 pay $3.50 n month for the
carriage ola crate OF fspccilicd dimensions, upon
the conditions that the company should not be
responsible for the safe carriage or delivery OF
any articles carried on board the steamboats, be-
tween New York and Providence. They
were required to advertise, and 10 attach to
their bills of lading, notice to this effect
Notwithstanding this, the Court decides that
the owners the steamer were responsible,
and they give this decision upon the ground
that there was gross carelessness on board the
Lexington.
They say that she was on fire on the voyage
beiore--lhat there was box Of goods partial
ly consumed then--that on the last voyage
bales of cotton were placed in Close proximity
to the boilers-,hat the engine was in one
place below, the hose in another-that the fire
buckets were few and good for no,hng-that
the specie boxes were used for water buckets
that iron tiller ropes were not used accord
ing to the acquisitions of the law of Congress
that no heed was paid to many provisions of
this law, and that in fine, therefore, the respon-
dents are liable.
