UNNECESSARY TORTURE.
FACTS FOB THE INcREpULoUs.

The agony suffered by the limping pilgrim
who neglected to boil the peas he carried in
his shoes as penance, was nothing to the
horrible twinges the racking torturcs which
rheumatic patients suffer. We pity the OBJ
stinacy, or the ignorance or the prejudice,
whichever it may be, which has thus far pre-
vented them from resortng to those great
specifics for rheumatism. Holioway's Ointment
and Pills. 1t is curious in a country y here
almost every one can and docs read the news
papera, that facts Of the utmost importance
to the health of thousands should be overlook
ed or disregaried by any of the suffering class
whom they Immediately concern. Yet, SO it
is. Almost daily we see persons moving pain
fully through the streets, with contracted
limbs and joints rendered rigid by disease, to
whom the penetrating and laxitive ungueI
invented by Professor Holloway would lie
worth its weight in diamond dust. In tie
Russian hospitals, it has superseded every
other external remedy for rheumatism. NotE-
ing else, say the French surgeons employed
in those institutions, seems to have the slight
est efiectt Oh the terrible forms of the mala-
dy which exist in that inhosl liable climate
The results OF itse use in this country are, we
are assured, no less salts factory. Warm fn-
mentatious should in all cases, preccde its
application, rs by this means the pores Of the
skin are opened, and the process Of absorp-
ton greatly facilitated. The rapidity with
which the Ointment disappears under the

The inflaued flesh, or indurated muscles seem
to drink in the COOLING, soothing, rel king
urgent, as swiftly as the desert sands in,bibe
the genial rain As all auxiliary to the Ont-
ment in rheumatic cases, the Pills are said tn
be invaluable, and we can readily believe it.
All external dis orders more or less interfere
with the functions of the internal organs, and
the presence Of disease on the surface always
involves bad condition Of the secretions and
the blood. 1t il by the corrections Of these
functional arrangements, we presume, that
the Pills assist the cure. Such is the theory
of the distinguished inventor of the remedies
and AZ it is consistent with common sense,
(which is more than can be said of all medic
al theories.) We have nothing to object to it..
One thing is certain with regard to rheu-
matism in this climate: In nine cases out of
ten, it defes the Irregular" treatment. COL
chicum, the stereotyped prescription, is more
baneful to the constitution than mercury it.

influence, so far benumb the parts affected as
to alleviate the pain, We have never known

SamI. Houston.

A few weeks ago we called attention to the
fact that an effort Was being made in some
sections of the country to put forward Gen.
Houston IS an independent candidate for the
presidency. From our exchanges we learn
that mass meeting Of many Thousands was
held in New York on last Tuesday week, at
which DR.. Stephen Hasbrouck presided and
speeches were made by D. D. Atchison, j.
w. Brice, Clinton Roosevelt and others They
assign as their reasons for nominating
Gen. Houston that all patriotic citizens feel,
that there is one man now before the country
who, tried by all public tests, has proved
himself fitted for the station; that this man
hasa hold upon the sy pathies and confidence
of the people, possessed by no other living
statesman; that, national in his views, Dem
ocratic in bis principles, too honest and too
Intelligent to be controlled or managed by
wire pullers or spoilsseekers, firm in purpose,
and resolute in action, he can stop and roll
back the conflicting tides now surging over
our country and would in effect, make Pres
ideut like Andrew jackson. One of the res
olutons calls upon the people OF every State
10 select an electoral ticket for the Gen. and
they place him upon the same platform adop-
ted for Bell & Everett. in the following words
Resoired, That the planks OF our political
platform are the Constitution, the Union and
The aws; and that the pledges Of our Presi-
del .ial candidate are, his integrity, his abil-
ty and his services 10 the country.

They also propose that Houston clubs be
formed at once in every county and town in
the State and that delegates be elected to a

July at some place to be named hereafter to

suitable candidate for the Vice Presidency.
