SILENCE THAT DREADFUL COUGH!

Or death must carry you to your silent grave.
Why delay while there is yet hope Consumption
is caused by impure humors Of the blood being de-
posted in the cells of the lungs. Hence, the
lungs are like spring of water, when rolled up
by the dirt or mad if clear water constantly flows
through the springs, impurities or mud will be
conveyed away by the pure water. Just so with
the blood when kept in clean or pure state; as
it constantly flows through the lungs, it carries a.
way all corrupt matter, and perfect health will be
the result. From two to four Pills taken every
night or every other night. or enough to skeeP the
bowels regular, will in reasonable time cure
consumption. The reason these pills are used
more than all others, is because they are made OF
purifying vegetables, and cleanse tha body EoaaA
oh O6rrIPt nader, and drive out disease Of every
description quicker and in a milder way than any
other Pills

INSPECTING, MEASURING AND WEIGHING
GRArN.-A bill is before the Senate providing
for the inspecting, measuring and weighing all
wheat and other grain carried to Baltimore city
for sale. We take the following from the Sus:
1t authorizes the Governor to appoint one in
spector general and four assistants. The first
named officer is to keep an office convenient to
the wharves, to hear and determine all contro-
versies between the buyer and seller. The as
sistants are to inspect the grain upon applica-
ton, taking two fair average samples of each lot
one to be delivered to the owner or his agent, and
the other retained in the office of the inspector
general until after the sale or delivery of the
grain. In case of any controversy between the
buyer and seller in relation to the Quantity of
the grain, &C., the matter is to be left to the de-
csion OF the inspector general and if either party
shall then refuse to comply with the terms of
sale, the ne-aggrieved may recover, in suit at
law, double the damages he may prove he has
sustained by the said refusal; or should pur-
chaser refuse or neglect to comply with the terms
of sale, after the general inspectors decision, the
owner or his agent may either retain the grain
and sue tor damages, or may resell the same and
then sue for the difference in price between the
first and last sale, also for the delay and deten-
GlOu, duu IcCOFcF, LII ciGllor case, double the
mount of damages that shall be proven to have
been sustained
The inspectors are also to weig h all wheat in
spected by them, but are prohibited from weigh
ing or inspecting any grain after it has been
sold and delivered, Or buying or in any way
dealing in it while in office, under penalty of
fine and dismissal. If the purchaser fails or re-
fuses to take or receive the grain or allege that
the bulk is not equal in quality to the sample
by which he purchased, and it shall appear that
six hours have passed since the sale took place,
and no complaint has been made to the seller
pr his agent within that time it shall be pre-
Sumed unless clearly proven to the contrary
that the bulk does correspond with the sam
pie, and the said purchaser shall be compelled
TO pay all damages and charges that may have
lrisen by reason of his delay or refusal to COM
ply with his contract, to be assessed and de-
Eermined by the inspector general
/ For the inspection and weighing of wheat
pne cent per bushel is to be charged upon the
.ntire cargo or lot, and one half cent per bush
I for all other grain; one half to be paid by
he purchaser and the other by the seller. The
honey is to be paid into the State Treasury,
