1T HAS NEVER FAILED--IT CANNOT
FAIL TO CURE.

FAIL TO CURE.
TVHIS INVALUABLE SPECIFIC, first intro
Il dnced into PISA some fifty years since soon
became so well known as certain cure that
in every town and city, not only on the CONT
nent, but in Great Britain, the demand for it
was so great its merits so astounding that in less
than one year fl om it's introduction it had sup
planted all other remedies. The Medical Fa-
Guilty of the principal cities of Europe were
compelled to acknowle ledge lis wonderful mastery
over disease. Proprietors of other Medicine,
Jealous of its sway, vainly endeavored to stay
its onward progress. Like grass before the
mower, their efforts fell to the ground; and like
fire on the prairies sweeping all before it, its
onward march became triumphant. 1t stood
forth upon its own merts;'a discerning public
saw, tried and were convinced of It's magical
oirtNes. The massive fortune acquired by DR..
Pareira from the sale of it during the six years
he prepared it, alone bore witness to its nina
culous mersts. At the decease of the Doctor, the
recipe was begueathed to bis son. who has late
ly introduced the remedy into the United States.
The number of cures it has already made are
astonishing. Thousands and tens of thousands
can bear testimony to Its efficacy.

With safety, speed and certainty other me-
dicne has ever possessed.
RESORT TO NO QUACK NOSTRUMS.
Use remedy that has been tried for the past
fifty years, and was never known to fail.

tce than any other Physician in San Francisco
and it is fast increasing. To those acquainle,

Gently assumed to themselves the authority to
speak the will of the Almighty concerning the
Nebraska bill. We quote the following from a
report adopted by the Association:
I'VE utterly repudiate all fellowship with
those who impiously assume to protest in the
name of the Almighty God against the passage
of laws for the organization Of territorial Gov
ernment or other purposes, and in His name to
illuminate anathemas against the representatives
of the people in the discharge of their official
duties And we regard the assumption that any
body Of men are diviney instructed to sit in
Judgment upon all questions Of moral and re-
ligious nature one which, if recognized by
the people, is calculated to destroy every vestige
of civil and religious freedom, and PROSTATE all

The Madison Journal, in suggesting work
for the present legis lure, makes the follow
ing dew lme ts:-- Iii
Take. for instance, the cxorbitant and un-
constitutional fees Of the Commissioners of
School and University Lands. The Secreta-
ry Of State, Treasurer and Attorney General
are er o6Seio such Commissioners, by provis-
ion of the constitution. The Revised Stat
utes fix the salary Of the Secretary of State,
at $1,000 per annnm, and Of the Treasurer
and Attorney General at $500, and declare
in express terms that these salaries shall be
in full for all services, both as such officers,
and as members of the Board of Commission
ers of the School and University lands. There
is one exception to this in the Revised Stat
utes. The Secretary is allowed twelve cents
per folio for copies of any papers in his Office
the proceeds of which are to be devoted to
paying his clerk hire. 1t is notorious how
ever that in no instance has this law been
obeyed. The Legislature have annually APP
propriated from $500 to 81, 200 for clerk hire
in that department, and the officer has peck
eted the fees from his source. In the capac-
ty of Commissioners Of School and Univer-
sity Lands, the Secretary and Treasurer charge
twenty-five cents each for each certificate of
sale. This, we believe is legal charge, but
was intended to be used for the payment of
clerk hire. The officers, however, pocket it
and call on the Legislature to pay their clerks
Again, each certificate Of sale has to be ac-
knowledged before notary, whose fees amount
to IS cents for each certificate OF course
one Of the clerks is notary, and thus one dol
lar and twenty-five cents goes into the pocket
of the clerks or officers, for each certificate of
sale. When the amount Of such lands which
is annually sold, is considered, it will be per-
ceived that these fees would make very de-
cent salary alone, for almost any man. But
in addition to this, three dollars are charged
as fees on every loan of school money, with
out the first shadow or pretence of legality.
It would be fair estimate, and probably be-
low the mark, to set down the sum whit b has
occurred from these sources since the COM
mencemcnt Of the sales of these lands, at from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t might be safely cal
culatcd that it is at present equivalent to at
least $4,000 per year, or the handsome little
sum Of 1000 apiece to the Commissioners
in addition to their regular salaries. 1aa
