THE CHLORIDE or GOLD.

NOR PRIMARY SYPHALIS.--Eow long have
l. the medical profession tried in vain to dlscov-
er some thereputcal agent that could be relied
upon to cure disease more to be dreaded than all
others combined Some Quack Doctors advertise
to cure vcnerial diseases without the use OF mer-
curry. But their statements are false. We have
taken pains to collect the recipes of some who
make great noise, and we find that they use the
Iodide of Mercury for everything. whether it is
proper or not and since we find them msreprc-
senting in this particular. we have reason to
suspect them and I'D omne genus in all their
pretensions.
Gentlemen there never n remedy capable
of curing the disease without mercury, until the
discovery of the Chloride of Gold, and we submit
it to the test, having thoroughly tried it. and
knowing it to possess all the qualities attributed
| to it.
Dr. Christian says:-The Cheride of Gold is
capable of curing Syphais under all its forms.
and that in its general operations on the system,
! it possesses many advantages over mercury. 1t
is eicacious, yet gentle. 1t may be administered
with perfect safety at all seasons of the year and
under any complications Of the disease. Persons
of either sex may be put upon it with equal safe
| ty the only precaution enjoined is strict temper
ance. In other respects the patient is not re-
quired TO change his accustomed mode Of living.
Dr. Samuel l.. Mitchell, the distinguished Sur
geon of New York speaks in the following words:
| The Chloride of Gold possesses admirable vr-
tues against Sypnalls. The ttlent gets well ull-
der the operation of the medicine, with incom-
parably less Inconvenience, without the hazard of
a sore mouth or salvation, and with very little
wear and tear of the constitution. | consider the
Introduction of this preparation into common use,
as one of the greatest improvements in modern
medicine, and wish it was already as universal
as the malady it cures.
Other distinguished members Of the medical
profession have given testimony of the great
value of the remedy the statements of whom we
| have in our possession.
Gentlemen shall be glad to see you at any
time-we are always prepared to attend to your
wants.
The above remedy will be sent to any persons
address who sends the price of the medicine
Price so. Full directions will accompany every

Another National Anniversary.

We notice with pleasure and deep interest,
says the Louisville Journal, that the Histori-
cal Society Of Philadelphia has resolved
annually to commemorate, by some public
act, the day on which the Constitution of
the United States was adopted by the dele
gates met in convention, to wit: the 18th
day of September, 1884," and has appointed
a committee of its members ''to make ar
rangements for the celebration of this event
on the 18th day of September, 1885," and
to enter into correspondence with the other
Historical Societies, with view of extend
ing and establishing the festival This is
eminently rs it should be. 1t is truly a
marvel that, amid the profound reverence
everywhere cherished for the founders of the
republic, the sacred esteem and veneration
in which the constitution has been held, and
the almost universal sense of the transcend
ant Importance of the Union which it ce-
ments and rivets. such festival has never
been instituted before The adoption of the
Federal Constitution was not less an era in
our history than that of the Declaration of
Independence; and the preservation of the
popular respect and love for that noble in
| strument, in their pristine freshness and vigor
is equally vital necessity of the times. In
truth, it is the more vital necessity of the
two. The sole Importance Of either relates
to the future permanence and welfare of the
nation, which depend directly upon the un-
diminished force and living authority of the
constitution The value Of existing national
anniversaries, deriving its whole virtue from
their relation to the faithful maintenance OF
the constitution, and through that, of the life
and prosperity of the government. is and
can be only secondary to that of one which
should fifty solemnize and commemorate the
adoption Of the constitution itself The birth
of Washington. for example, was assuredlv
momentous event in the annals of this
country, and its anniversary is richly deserv-
ing of perpetual observance, but the birth OF
the constitution was the birth of the.nation-
the flower and consummation of all the
births of the past. The Declaration of In
dependence was 4 mighty step i'll the direc-
ton of the strength and freedom we enjoy,
and is worthy of eternal remembrance and
honor as such, but the constitution is the
immediate principle of our national existence
all that We are and all that We hope to be
is suspended by its silver cord. Surely every
earnest. genuine patriot will hail with delight a
movement so admirably adopted to strength
en- and brighten this holy bond, and to rem
der the married calm and unity of States

soluble.

THE MEDIC.INES.

TNIIE ANTI MORBUS GALICUS, sure remedy
l. for Gonorrhna, LeucorrhGa, &c This val
liable preparation was discovered by DR.. Brown
over three years ago, and since that time it has
been extensively used, and has never been known
to fail. The best Physicians of San Francisco
prescribe it. and many druggists have copied the
recipe or counterfeited the original so that we
cannot guarantee only that which is prepared
under our supervision. The Anti Morbus Galicus
is put up in convenient form, easy and agree
able to take and none of those unpleasant erlc-
tions follow its administration which are usually
attendant upon remedies given for these com
plants. Persons who need the remedy can have
it sent to them by Express to any part of the
State, with full directions. Price So.
