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 evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
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 appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antldote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous affec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at.
tacks upon the lungs but for the mider varieties
of CoLDs, CoueHs, HoARsRNEss, &c; and ior
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 tns
people its quality is kept up to the best that 1t ever
has been, and that the genuine article Is soio Nv

I.oeust Trees for Cross Tics.

, Mr.. Vardry McBee, of Greenyille, suggests, IN
the Patriot j. Mountainser, the propriety OF adopt
ing the black locust for cross-ties on Kalroads.
He is of opinion that they will grow to DC OF sum
cient size in eight or ten years, and II properly
put down, will last fifty years. In view OF these
facts, he proposes that the Greenville and Colum-
bio Railroad shall adopt the policy OF planting
them along the line of the road with view to tins
object, and mentions that while it will cost little
to plant them, their shade in proximity to the rcad
will be of service. This suggestion certainly seems
of Importance. 1t may be that they vii! require
o longer time to grow, and it may be that they
will mot last so long as is estimated, but a Rail-
road is expected to be an enduring institution
1t will probably have the same wants one hundred
wears from now as it has now, and as the expense
of replacing cross-ties of present material every
five or six years, is exceedingly onerous, IT GER
tainly will be policy to adopt some plan by wnicn
the material the most suited to the purpose, snail
be ready on the very spot, for the e1igencies OF
replacement whenever they may occur. 1t is one
of these simple means by which prudent lore
cast is made to supply the work of power, but 1t
is not the less commendable on that account
and as Railroads have right of way generally III
this State to distance of sixty-fvc feet from the
centre of the track, which in almost every In
stance. would allow room for line of trees, we
cannot but believe that if such space were SO I'm
proved the permanent property IN these enterpri-
ses would be very vastly advanced IN value-au-
yanced Mt least to on extent immeasurabiy tran
scendinp the costs of such measure.
