health and yigor We wish to call the atten-
tien of all to these facts, that the Invigorator
is compounded by physician who has used IT
in his practice for the past twenty years with
success almost credulous, and that it is entire
y vegetable, being composed wholly OF gums.
Some idea of the strength Of these gums
may be formed when it is known one bortie OF
the Ingigorater contains as much strength as
one hundred doses OF Calomel without any oil
its deleterious effects.
One bottle is the surest thing known to carry
away the bad effects Of mineral poison OF any
kind.
oxly one bottle is needed to throw out OF
the system the effects Of medicine after long
sickness.
One bottle taken for Jaundice removes all
yellowish or unnatural CO 'oF from the skin.
One dose after eating j. sufficient to relieve
the stomach and prev ent the food from rising
and souring.
Only one dose taken before retiring prevents
nightmare.
One dose taken at night loosens the bowels
gently, and cures costiveness.
One dose taken after each meal win cure
Dyspepsia.
One dose of two tea-spoonsful viii always
relieve Sick Headache
One bottle taken for female obstruction re-
moves the cause OF the disease, and makes
perfect cure.
only one dose Immediately relieves Cholic,
while
one dose often repeated is a sure cure for
Cholera Morbus, and sure preventative of
Cholera.
One dose taken often will prevent the recur-
renee OF bilious attacks, while it relieves all
painful feelings.
10 One or two doses taken occasionally is
one of the best remedies Tor cold ever known
Thousands ofcases Inflammation and weak
ness Of the lungs have been cured by the In
vigorGtor.
One dose taken a short time before eating
gives vigor To the appetite and MAKES food d.
gest well.
One dose often repeated cures Chronic Diar
rhoe in its worst forms, while summer aud bow
el complaints yi-ld almost to the first dose.
One or two doses cures attacks caused by
worms. while for worms in children, there is no
sHrer, safer and Spee1er remedy in the world,
as II never fails.
There is no exaggeration in these statements,
they are plain and sober facts, that We can give
evidence to prove, while all who it are
giving their unanimous testimony in its GlYor.
We sish all who are sick and dehlitAted to
try this remedy, and test il thoroughly, and
any who are not benefited by its use we should
like to hear from. we have yet To hear from
the first person who has used bottle OF luvIg-

THE LOBBY IN WAsHNGToN.-We perceive
by The arrival of strangers in Washington that
the lobby-the omnipotent lobby-will be strong
on the ground by the commencement of next
week. All the old members of the organization
seem to be moving in that direction. Simonton,
who was expelled from the floor of the last Con-
grcss, has been on the ground for some time
past; he is said to be very busy going round the
departments, and making arrangements for the
operations of his associates. The Hon. 0. B.
Matteson, who was also expelled from the last
Congress, passed through this city yesterday,
and will be on the ground on the first day of
the session. The arrival of the last named dis
tnguished individual will, in all probability,
lead to breeze in the legislative halls. 1t is
question whether he can take his seat in the
new Congress, on account of his disqualification
by the last We should not be surprised if this
question were raised, after the edfying develope-
ments in which Mr.. Matteson bore so conspicu-
Gus part. Should it be mooted, we hope that
a new committee will be appointed to investi-
gate thoroughly all these lobby delnquencies,
and to purify the legislative atmosphere from
the corruption and rottenness by which it is
tainted
