THE TRIUMPHANT SUCCESS or THE GREAT
ARABIAN REMEDY OF MAN AND BEAST.
m. g.. FARRELL,S
CELEBRATED
Arabian Liniment.

CAUSING counterfeits to spring up all
i over the country, spreading their bane-
full influence over the land, robbing the
pockets of the unsuspecting, by imposing
upon them worthless and poisonous trash,
for the genuine H. G. Farrell's Arabian Lin
iment. Fellow citizens! Look well before
you buy, and see that the label of the bot
tile has the letters HI. G. FARRELL's, for il
it has not, it is counterfeit. The label
around each bottle of all my Eminent
reads thus, III. G. FARRELL's CELEBRATED
ARABIAN LINIMENT;" and my signature is
written upon the label also, and these words
are blown in the glass ottle, III. G. Far
rells Arabian Liniment, Peoria"
This truly great medicine still goes on,
conquering disease, and snatching many a
poor powerless victim from the grave. By
its powerfully stimulating, penetrating An
odyne qualities, it restores the use OF limbs
which have been palsied for years; AM by its
singular power Of reproducing the Synovial
Fluid or Joint Water, it cures all diseases
of the Joints with surprising rapidity. For
Rheumatism, and affections OF the Spine
and Spleen, it has proved itself SPECIFIC;
and for affections of the Lungs, Liver and
Kidneys, it most valuable and powerful
auxiliary: also for all diseases of the glands,
Scrofula, Goitre or Swelled Neck, &c. And
indeed for almost any disease where an ex-
ternal application is required, this medicine
stands unparalleled.

PRESIDENT TAyLoR's CABfNkT.--The
National Intelligencer, Of the 18th, con-
,ains the following authorized declara-
ton in regard to Gen. Taylor's Cabinet:
Although it Is but few days ago that
we contradicted the false reports then
abrod Of dissensions or misunderstanding
between the president and the Members
of his Cabinet, the industry with which
similar reports are again rropagated, and
diffused over the country through every
channel of circulation, seems 10 require
repetition Of the contradiction.
We therefore now state on the author
ity Of the President, that he lends no
countenance to any attempt from what
ever quarter it comes, TO disturb or un-
settle his Administration as il is. All
the statements or differences to the con-
trary are utterly without foundation.

says:
The second part of Mr.. Ewbank's
Patent Office Report contains much val
liable matter, procured by laborious in
vestigation. Itappears that the consump-
ton Of sugar in the world is estimated
at nearly million of tons annually. In
1874, Cuba alone furnished 200, 900
tons.
From record in the Post Once De-
partment, il appears that the first stage
between New York and Philadelphia,
commenced running in 1856, and occu-
pied three days. Until 1853. when. by
reason Of their great increase, they were
charged with postage of nine-pencc each
year for fifty miles, and Is pence for 100
miles.
Professor Rodgers has commenced
his Geological Lectures at the Smithso-
nian Institute. In the course of his re-
marks, he states some very interesting
facts relative to our great rivers. 1t APP
pears that the Mississippi drains an area
of 100000 square miles; and the total a.
mount of water discharged per annum,
in cubic feet 8,O92,ll7,94O,000.
The amount Of sedimentary matter in
the Mississippi water is estimated at
about one twelve hundredth part, by
measure. of the whole volume dischar-
ged per annum; and since the alluvial
deposits in the delta are estimated to
have mean depth of SO feet, and to
have been wholly deposited by the Mis-
sissippi and its tributaries, the least pos
sible time upon these hypothesis, reqai-
red for the deposition Of the delta, would
be 1888 years. The water dischar-
ged, in the same time, would I'll sea
$50 miles square, and one mile deep.

Alter some unimportant business the
House went into Committee of the
Whole on the California message.
Mr.. Hammond said that he had taken
his position before the assembling Of
Congress, in favor of the admission Of
California, and he had seen nothing n
change his views--he defended the Pres.
Iden, from the charge of usurpation Of
the legislatures power and invoked the
North and South to stand on the platform
Of non-interyention.
Mr.. Gentry said that the people OF
the North, in common with the civilized
world mad DO sympathy with slavery,
and with few Infamous exceptions, will
sacrediy and religiously discharge the
duties which they owe to the Union and
10 the slayeholding States. They do
not oeiieve that slavery will be abolished,
except by the action of the States where
il exists.
Mr.. King, Of Massachusetts, was in
favor OF the admission of California.
When he concluded, the Committee
rose and the House adjourned.

Grafton of the special order Of the day,
being the Compromise Bill.
Mr.. Soule, having the floor, spoke at
length against the Compromise Bill, in
many particulars as reported by the

Mr.. Clay followed in defence of COM
promise, defending the bill from the OBJ
jections urged against it by some. He
was also very severe upon the President
for not secondlng the efforts of the Com
mittee selected to report compromise.
At late hour, Mr.. Upham obtained
the floor, and the Senate adjourned.

1t gives me pleasure to add my testimo-
ny to the virtue of your great medicine. -
One of my blooded horses had swelling
over the cap of the knee, about the size Of
a hens egg. Some said it was strain, and
some, that it was the Joint water from the
knee, and could not be cured. tried oil
cedar on it, and all the liniments and oint-
ments, and they did no more good than wa
ter. then by persuasion of my friends,
tried HI. G.. Farrells Arabian Liniment,
and was happy to find it take effect after
a few days, and it finally cured the noble
animal entirely. l think it is decidedly the
greatest Liniment for horse as well as hui
man flesh, ever knew.
ESQ., Barker, OF New Canton, ILL.,, says:
Mr.. H. G. Farrells Arabian Liniment has
cured some bad cases here, which every
other remedy had failed in, one was white
swelling and contracted cords in the leg of
a boy twelve years old. The leg had with
cred away, and was SO contracted that he
had no use of it. Three doctors had tried
their skill upon it in vain, and he was fast
sinking to the grave, when the boys father
was induced to try II. G. Farrelfs Arabian
Liniment. Before the first bottle was used
up he came into Mr.. BIS store, and the
first words he said were, "Mr. Barker,
want all that Liniment you have in the
store; the one bottle got did my boy more
good than all that had ever been done be-
FORE" That boy is now well and hearty,
and has free use of his legs. 1t is good for
sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.
Being fully satisfied that H. G. FarrelPs
Arabian Liniment is the best medicine in
the world, | cheerfully recommend it, |
