AbstemiOus Diet.

Many cases Of illness, both il
adults an ID children, may be readily
cured by abstinence from all food. y
Headachds, disordered stomachs, and
many othRr attacks are often caused
by violating the rules Of health, and.
in consequence, some parts of the
system ar . overloaded, OF some Of the
organs are clogged. Omitting one,
two, or three meals, as the case may
be, gives the system a chance to
rest, and allow the clogged organs to
dispose of their burdens. The prac-
tice Of given drugs to clear out the
stomach, though it may afford the
needed teIhporh hry relief, always weak
ems the system, while abstinence Sc
cures the good result without doing
any injury. IS

tingqished medical practitioner, in

ries, who seemed highly delighted
With the eech.
A correspondent Of the Charleston
Courier, gives the following, as the
substance of Mr. Clemens speech:
"Mr. Clemens, Of Ala, who has
been for some time i'll, and has re-
sumed his seat, enchained the atten-
tic n of the Senate to-day, with a
speech on the subject Of Gen. Cass'
resolutions. AS was expected. he
tpok the conservative side cf tho
question. He opposed al the pro-
Jects for the aequisiti ion Of Cuba, and
eve N res listed Gen. Cass's proposition
for repeating the Monroe declare
tiohs. As to CGba, he denied that a
single tenable argument had been
off 4red in favor of its acquisition,
she dWed that it would destroy The su,
gan inte rests of the South; that it
would impose a burden Of six mil
lions en- the Treasury; that it would
net enhance ous eO1nsescial inter
ests; that it would not aid Ito our
me- ans of defence, and that the ad.
mission of its mixed free population
to rights of citizenship would be Of
no advantage to our Republic. He
argued that there were bit two
me- lies of acquiring .Cuba-one by
aggressive war, to which he was op-
posed-t the other by means Of rev
olution In Cuba, and the assertion Of
its independence by the inhabitants
Of Cuba, themselves. The latt. :
event, be said, would not occur in
his day, nor in that Of any. Of those
