TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASE

hrs. L. & J. W. BARBER, will devote special
IL attention TO the treatment of Chronic Dis
cases. And believing, as we do, that no Physic-
ian who is engaged in the active duties of gen
ora practice has time to give these diseases that
attention which they must have, if. they are sue
cessfully treated, one Of this firm will hereafter
devote his exclusive attention to this branch Of the
profession; and. from our experience heretofore
we can assure the. public that great majority OF
Chronic Diseas es can be cured. Below we mention
q few that we treat with success. y ~
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Ep-
lepsy, Scorfula, Spinal diseases, Uterine Affect
ions, Cancer Fistula, Piles, Ulcer Diseases Of the
Eye, Skin, Kidneys, &c. In the treatment Of
Cancer, we do not rely on the knife, for the reas-
on that it will not permanently cure this disease.
We have for several years treated Cancer by the
local application Of medicines that will remove
the entire eaheerous mass, and also the roots,
(which cannot be removed with the knife then
heal the ulcer with suppuration. Every case OF
Cancer, unless It has been standing SO long that
the system has given wayand become impregna-
ted with the disease, can be speedily and perma-
We treat Fistula upon the same plan, except
where the case is obstinate when we have recourse
to the igature, and with complete success in eve
~ case. p "a rI
Persons Wishing treatmehtfor Cancer or Fistu-
la, should come 10 Chillieethe, where they will
fhaye 70 remain short time, as they should he
seen daily while under treatment We would
also call especial attention to the treatment Of dis
eases Of the Throat md Lungs by the inhalation
Of nnedieated Napor; the old plan of taking the
medicine into the stomach has always been un-
satisfactory, but by Medicated Inhalation we can
bring the Medieated yapor in contact with the
Mucous Lining of the air passages and air cells,
and 1t is very efficient In removing diseases Of
those parts. For remoyeing diseases ef
the Throat, Bronchitis and Asthma, this
treatment is almost infallible.
We make extensive use Of Electricity,in the
treatment Of all nervous diseases. Paralysis will
be greatly benefited, and If Of recent standing,
permanently cured by It's hse. UL o
: As above stated, one member of this firm will
give his exclusive attention to the treatment ofthis
class Of diseases. He win visit patients, when de
sired In, this OF the adjoining counties Tho
other Will always be found, when not absent on
professional business, at their office and residence
on Paint street, neerly opposite the Market House
Chillicothe, Ohio.

herence TO one price, small profits and upright
fair dealing, or none. We will offer no "bait y
to get new trade or retain what We have, but will
sell more goods for less money, Tin the course of
year, and give better satisfaction than any house

cent less than every body. We continue to man
uiacture large portion of tho work we offer,
which we will warrant equal TO any in quality,
and will furnish extra sizes TO order
Eastern work is made expressly for us and will
be warranted to purchasers.
The eXtentof our business and our facilities for
obtaining goods from first hands, warrant us in
repeating thatwe can sell goods in nur limo upon
equal terms with any Jobbing House, EAST or
WEST, and that we fear no regular Competition
from any quarter. We respectfully invite an ex-
animation Of ourstoek and prices, assuring all of
our determination 70 sell (not the first or second
bill only, but always at the lowest possible prices
consistent with living profit, and warrant our
goods as we represent them,
We tender our hearty thanks to the patrons Of
the late firm for the courtesies and Kindness re-
ceiyed at their hands, and trustby strict attention
to business and unremitting efforts to please, the
new firm will merit and receive continuance of
their favors. ap24tf |H

tions to meet in the most efficient manner, the
rapidly increasing demand for practical and

Ignorance ana Rascaliry.

The State Democrat, at Davenport, prob.
ably with the design Of drawing attention
from the astounding developments made by
an investigation inio the affairs oil the 81
perintendent of Instruction-makes a mosl
false and ridiculous attack upon Gov.
Grimes, charging him with borrowing S40,.
900 from the Superintendent aforesaid
without the shadow Of law; increasing the
State debt Internationally, and all in or
derto raise a "Black Republican fund"
Such an utter ignorance of facts is dis
played; and such a reckless disposition to
nalign a faithful public officer, as to occa.
sion surprise that a journal could be so care.
less of It's own reputation as to give the ar.
ucle publicity.
The sac 900 borrowed by the Governor,
was by express order of the Legislature; ar
order adopted without opposition; and in
order to save to the State what little wa.
found in the hands Of tina, officer, the
Governor was authorized to borrow 500,
900. But, the money was not to be had
having been loaned, for his own benefit, tc
his personal friends, by the Superintendent
What pas secured, was instantly paid into
the State Treasury, to liquidate the State
indebtedness. Thus easily Is the whole
| story ofthe Democrat exploded.
No: there is another item. 1t is charged
that this wicked Governor of ours, has
erected q little brick building, about as large
az a smoke house, for keeping the weight:
and measures; at an expense to the State
Of $4,000.

BEooKs AND KEirr.-The Governor OF
South Carolina has ordered new elections IL
the districts ef Brooks aud Keitt, aud the
Columbia Times says both those persons
will be sent back without opposition. So
be il, such re election will make them none
the less rufians. An election in South
Carolina is nothing but u nomination made
by the principal shareholders, in which poor
white folks have as little TO do as the PEG
pie OF Turkey, and Of course the particular
patrons Of the institution will r~e-elect the
men by whom it has been SO chiyalsously
defended. But If South Carolina ever rises
above the prejudice. and habits by which
she 10 nov degraded, her future citizens will
blush when they read the present portion Of
her history.

rKI coHsrIrurroxAL CONVENTION.

The engrossibg nature of the great qaes-
ton which is at present occupying the at
tention Of the people has operated to ex-
clude the subject ofthe constitutional Con-
vsntion almost entirely from their thoughts,
Under other circumstances this TACT would
have been a cause for regret, and If the
question OF holding a Convention had been
one which provoked and required discussion
on account Of differences of opinion as to
it's propriety or necessity, it would have
been much preferable to have had it settled
At 9 calmer period, and not in the midst OF
the agitation which always accompanies a
Presidential CANVASS. But as far as we
have been able to ascertain the opinions OF
the people, there is no opposition by any
party TO a Convention.
1t is agreed on all hands that the Consti-
tuition OF our State needs a revision. The
work of revising and amending the organic
law is not . trifing one and ought never TO
be hastily entered into. But the detects in
our State Constitution are % apparent and
are productive of SO many Inconvenience,
that il is a wonder the people have submit
ted to them so long. They have beer think
inc of a revision for a number of years past,
and as we have no doubt the minds OF a ma
jori,y are already made up, the formal pro
cess OF calling a convention can as well be
lone at the approaching as al any subse-
quent election. 1, is doing no injustice to
the trainers of the present constitution to

State has Tar o%utsuipped the provisions
which were made for its development. But

The LATE R. R. DIsAsTER.-The North

terrible railroad disaster with the subjoined

death may be claimed as an expiation for
