TWENTY MILLIoNs or DOLLARS sAvED.-Mr
Spalding has sold two millions of bottles Of his
celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated that
each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of
broken furniture, thus making au aggregate of
twenty millions of dollars reclaimed from total
loss by this valuable invention. Having made
his Glue household word, he now proposes to
do the world still greater service by curing all
the aching heads with his Cephac Pills, and il
they are as good rs his Glue, Headaches will
soon vanish away like snow in July.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to" is so
prevalent, so little understood, and so much
neglected as Costiveness. Often originating in
carelessness, or sedentary habits; it is regarded
as a slight disorder of too little consequence to
excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor
and companion Of many Of the most fatal and
dangerous diseases, and unless early eradeated
1t will bring the sufferer to an uniimey grave.
Among the lighter evils of which costlveness is
the usual attendant are Headache, Collie Rheu-
matisn, Foul Breath, Piles and others Of like
nature, while long train Of frightfu diseases
such as Malignant Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentary,
Darrhea, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Para.
lysis, Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, Melancholy
and Insanity, first indicate their presence in the
system by this alarming symptom. Not unfre-
quently the diseases named originate in Com
stiPation, but take on an independent existence
unless the cause is eradicated in an early stage.
From oil these considerations it follows that the
disorder should receive immediate attention
whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect
to get box Of Cephalic Pills on the first appear
ance of the complaint as their timely use will
expel the insiduous approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

b. HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from The natural state of the brain, and viewed
10 this light it may be looked on as safeguard
intenied to give notice of disease which might
otherwise escape attention, till too late to be re.
medicd and its indications should never be ne
elected Headaches may be classified under two
names, viz: Symptomatic and Idiopathic.-
Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly common
and is the precursor Of great variety Of diseases,
among which are ApopleSy Gout, rheumatism
and all febrile diseases. In its nervous form il
is sympathetic of disease of the stomach con.
stituting sich headache, of hepatic disease con-
sttuting bilious headache, Of worms, constipation
and oher disorders of the bowels, as well as
renal and uterine affections. Diseases of the
heart are very frequently attended with Head
aches Annmia and plethora are also affections
which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic
Headache is also very common, being usually
distinguished by the name of nsryOus headache
sometimes coming on suddenly in state Of ap-
parenily sound health and prostrating Mt once
the mental and physical energies, and in other
instances it comes on slowly, heralded by dc.
preston of spirits or acerbiiy of temper. In
most instances the pAin is in the front Of the
head, over one or both eyes. and sometimes pro-
voking vomiting; under this class may also be
named Neuralgia
For the treatment Of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a
few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating
the diseases Of which Headache is the unerring
index.

MISCELLANEOUS.

TnE AMALoANArIoN OF LANGUAGES. There
ls growing tendency in this age to appropriate
the most expressive words of other languages,
and nfter a while to incorporate them into our
own; thus the word Cephalic, which is from the
Greek, sgnfying "tor the head" is now be-
coming popularized in connection with Mr. Spal-
dings's great Headache remedy, but it will soon
be used in q more general way, and the word
Cephniic will become as common as E.ectrotype
aud many others whose distinction as foreign
words has been worn awny by common usage
until they seem "natiSe and to the manor born"

Taking the census Of 1890 as the standard Of
population, the States furnished comparatively
with their population as follows, beginning with
the State which furnished the most warriors IN
proportion 10 population:
Massachusetts,, soldier to every 81 inhabitants.
Connecticut, l soldier to every 3 inhabitants.
Rhode Island, soldier to every 60 oiahabitants.
New Hampshire, soldier to every inhab'nts
New Jersey, soldier to every 10 inhabiiauie.
Peunsylvania, soldier to every 1871 inhabitants.

Delaware, soldier to every is inhabitants.
Virginia, soldier to every % G inhabitants.
Georgia, solder to every Il inhabitants.
South Caroline, soldier to every 81 inbabis.
North Carolina, soldier to every SOL inhab',s.
Taking the Northern States together, they
furnished ! soldier to every SO inhabitants,
while The Southern States furnished soldier to
every 26'S inhabitants. We need not claim for
the Northern States any greater degree Of pa.
triotism than the South. The slave population
is, Of course, included in the above estimate,
which will, in part, account for the comparative.
