GlS- Sick Headache Remedy remedy
for the Sick Headache, which has been recent
ly offered TO the public, is attracting great at
tention, not only by reason Of the very satisfac-
tory testimonials to its efficacy which have been
volunteered by many who have been benefited by
it, but also because there are great number
of people who are afflicted with the distressing
complaint, for which no medicine has before been
made public. DR.. Eastman, who discovered the
efficacy of his remedy" is a physician in this
city, in high standing, with large practice. He
is a physician in whom great confidence is placed ;
and we do not wonder that his remedy for very
common disease, which has been so long needed,
has attracted the attention of all sufferers from
headache who have heard Of it, From our own
knowledge Of Dr. Easmans character and prac-
tice, we have no doubt that the medicine deserves
the favor it receives, and that it will prove TO be
great benefit to all who may give il trial.

OPINIONS OF ATTORNEYS GENER-
al of the United States.-The undersigned

~ al of the United States.-The undersigned
having just published an octave edition of the
official decisions of the Attorneys General of the
United States, expounding the Constitutions sub
sisting Treaties with foreign nations, and the In
dian tribes, and giving construction 10 the public
laws of the counpy in FIVE volumes, averaging
$50 pages each, comprising all the decisions OF
that character made since the adoption of the
federal constitution, and prior TO the 18th day Of
July, 1851, and TO be continued up TO the present
time with synoptical notes and copious induces,
he respectfully announces his readiness 10 answer
orders for the work, and 10 forward the same by
express, or otherwise, TO any part of the United
States.
Being the productions of distinguished jurists
and civilians fully authorized 10 decide the vari-
Gus questions of civil, common, international,
constitutional commercial and municipal law,
which have arisen in the course OF the admins
tration of the government, and bearing, as they
do upon nearly every subject of civil polity and
jurisdiction il necessarily follows that they are
scarcely inferior in importance TO the Constitution
which they defend, and the laws which they ex-
plain. They not only set forth the political econo-
my and fundamental principles OF the federal gov
ernment and the rules and regulations enforced
in its administration, but they also define the
powers and duties, and, in many instances the
condensation OF its civil and military officers
The subjects of national sovereignty, neutrality
extradtion, &c, are therein thoroughly discussed
and our revenue laws, land laws patent laws
pension laws, &C., commented upon and ex-
planned. II is, therefore, believed that public
ministers, consnls, governors of States, district
attorneys, marshals, collectors of customs. sur
veyors of ports naval officers. receivers Of public
moneys, registers Of land Offices, Indian agents,
officers of the army and navy, and, indeed, all
public men will find these volumes valuable ac-
QUESTION to their libraries.
The editions put up in the style Of Towards
Reports of Decisions Of the Supreme Court, and
sold at the moderate price of three dollars per
volume.
Librarians Of States and public institutions are
reminded that they may conveniently obtain the
work, through their representatives In Congress-,
if the latter are Immediately addressed upon the
subject,
