THIs remedy has won for itself such nOtoriety
from its cures Of every variety of pulmonary disease,
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi-
dences of it's virtues in any community where 1t
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known. who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases Of the
lungs BY its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appar-
ent to escape observation. and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidots
to employ for the distressing and dangerous affeo-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties
of COLDS, CoUaHs, HoARsENRss, &c.; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the
people its quality is kept up to the best that it ever
has been and that the genuine article is sold by
j. NJ. Kirkbride, Woodsfeld; Armstrong

How to Prevent Accidents on Railroads.

a practice obtains upon some of the En-.
giisl railroads, which rr,ight well BE- imita-
ted here. When a passenger BUYS his tick
ct he can also buy card insurinag him
against accident. Between London and
Liverpool three pence insures his life for
I'll 500; two pence for Gl 900; and pen
ny for $500: and for proportionate dam
ages in case of injury. The insurance is cf-
tected by the Company under act of Parlia-
ment; and its effect is to render them more
careful in running the road, by inceasing
the responsiveness Of an accident There is
no reason, indeed, why every railroad CON-
pany should not be compelled to insure the
lite OF every passenger, and to be rrspons-
ble in heavy damages for whatever injury
may be sustained. Carriers of all sorts are
held thus responsible for the safety of goods
committed to their care; why should the
lives and limbs committed to their charge
be deemed deserving of less protec,ion9
But this would be only an indirect means
OF inducing greater care in the management
OF railroads, and Indirect agencies are no
longer sufficient. The law mast prescribe
certain regulations in regard to tllcir con-
duct, and every violation Of them should be
severely punished. No road between i'm
portant points should be permitted to con-
'ey passengers without double track; and
upon every single track road, the most def
Mite and precise provisions should be exact
ed to prevent collisions. The timetable
should be specific, and violation Of its d.
rcct'ons should be made in every case n
criminal offence. Until public scntimen,
compels our Legislators thus to provide for
the public safety, we shall be compelled dav
after day to chronicle these Wholesale saupl
tcrs upon our railroad lines.
