of Temperance in our State gives US
sincere pleasure, and inspires US with
hope that tho time is not far distant
when the people will be prepared to
execute, and the Legislature to adopt,
u prohibitory Liquor Law.
Resolved, That we earnestly recon-
mend to all our churches and members
active and efficient cooperation in this
great reformation-that they will be I'M
firing and persevering, until the whole
traffic shall be prohibited, and the land

talk of the poor, naked, Goddess, unen-

scissors or moulds him in pastel! talk
of the wretched Hindoo, who immolates
his victim TO Juggernaut, or the wild
Tartar who worships the invisible Lama!
talk Of any or all Of these, or go TO what

stupidity, it is not possible to iind a
more gross and bcasrly absurdity than

these little counterfeits has been de-
,cc,ed, They bear date 1858, and sp-
pear to be a perfect fac simile of the

their very greasy surface. They are
lighter than the real coin, aud have not
the ringing sound. lfheld in the hand
few minutes, the heat will take of the
gilt, and leave the coin the color ofzinc.

We publish the above for the purpose of bear.
ing witness to the efficacy of the remedy, with
a slight variation" We have repeatedly, IN our
family, arrested attacks Of this terrible disease
upon a child who Is subject to n very violent and
stubborn form of the disease by the following
simple method. AT the first symptom of the dis.
ease, wet a napkin or towel, 70 ded To abou four
inches in width, aud wind about the naked lhr,at
of the patient, and then take about halt pound
of dry cotton batting and tic it over the napkin
so as to retain the animal heat. Give the patient
plenty of cold water to drink. and cover it up
warm in bed. The cough will cease--the pa
tient will sleep all night, and awake well in the
morning.. Wash the neck in cold water, and
dress as usual. There Is no danger of tax ing
cold, and the dreadful effects of emaics are all
avoided. We have tested this remedy BY at
least twenty trials within the past five years, aad
it has never failed. 1t is equally efficacious in,
quinsy,i taken when the disease first menifesis,
itsef-as it Is also in any other inflammation Of
the throat,
In trying the experiment, don't take ii into
your head that flannel, or an old stocking,
some other substitute will answer in place of the
cotton. Dry cotton wool and plenty of it is a
perfect non conductor Of animal heat, and hence
i is the best article and only sare reliance.-
