Shall we have War 2

Nearly all the accounts from Washington re-
present our affairs with Spain as critical. We
are told in Washington letters published in differ
ent quarters, that war message is expected from
the President. We trust that this may not be
so-and yet it is hardly possible that the rumors
are entirely without foundation. At this time,
all the great interests of the country point 10
peace, and humanity demands it, if war can be
avoided on honorable terms. What grievances
we have suffered from Spain calling upon US 10
declare war against her Gt so great o sacrifice of
life, civilization and prosperity as it must involve
we are at n loss to conceive certainly the Black
Warrior affair does not call for such a-course en-
our part, and we trust that there is good sense,
humanity and patriotism enough In congress to
put its veto on any such movement. We do not
believe that the President Will recommend any
such measure; but should he do SO, without
showing stronger cause than we believe TO exist,
we trust that the accommodation will be resist
cd by congress and the countTy.-War at any
time, except in defence of national honor or ma
tional independence is a great evil; but at this
time, and under existing circumstances, it would
be curse too serious to be encountered blasting
our commercial prospects,, piling up debt of un-
told millions, and filling the lands with widows
and orphans. Let us hope that the evil may be
averted, and that our triumphs, for centuries to
come, may be those of peace,-HaTrisburg Union"

'sAs our correspondent was passing small

FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatye pill which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in its operation This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sye trial of its virtues has concusivey shown with
what success it accomplishes the purpose designed
It is easy to make physical pill, but not easy tc
make the best Of all pills one which should have
none of the objections but all the advantages, of
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit tc
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate fol
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and revulsion in the system as to more
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity but it is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Listessness, Irritability Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins; for, in TRUTH all these are but the
sequence of diseased action in the liver. AS an
aperient, they afford prompt and relief in Cos
hveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors, Scrof-
ula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood; in short, any
anu every case where q puIgaIlVe is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
eessful cures in rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy Gravel,
Eryspelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring Of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
bite and vigor. They purify the blood and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind When then
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of a
sathartic medicine.
