add, the idol Of the people. Congress
met at the appointed lime, and then his
message was sent 10 them through one
Of his ministers. Instead Of listening to
the same, they detained the minister

demanded :hal the President should al.
so send his two other ministers of Stdtt;

There was perfect safety for both life

Jayne's ExpectOrant.

This medicine has already proved itself to be
all that ii has been recommended, by those who
have given it fair test in this country, and the
demand for if increases daily. We have just
heard Of an important cure of Asthma, which has
been effected by the use Of it, in a neighboring
town--ihe case was that Of female who had for
long time been under the care Of physician but
had received no relief, and her case was consd-
cred hopeless. As last resort she purchased a
bottle Of DIR. Jayne's Expectorant, which caused
her 10 expectorate freely, gradually ceased her
cough, and is rapidly restoring her to health. We
have no hesitation in saying that this preparation
Of DIR. Jayne for cure ofcoughs, colds, influenza,
asthma, consumptions, sc. is the most valuable
medicine ever offered TO the American public
There is no quackery about it--Dr. Jayne is one

have been thoroughly tested, he is looked upon as
great public benefactor.-Somerset (Me.) Jour
