Proclamation.

The President Of the United States, having re-
commended that the last Thursday in September
instant, be observed day of public humiliation
prayer.and fasting by the people, with religious
solemnites and the Offering of feivent suppcation
to Almighty God, or-the safety and welfare of
these States, his blessing on their arms and
speedy restoration of peace, I, Austin Blair, Gov
ernor of the State of Michigan in conformity with
the proclamation of the President, and more fully
to impress upon the people of this State, the duty
of respecting the same, do earnestly unite in re-
commenting the people of this State to observe
and solemnly keep the said day.
II becomes Christian people, in this time
of peril to our country, to remember the blessings
of peace and plenty, which have been so bountifu-
ly bestowed upon us by Divine Providence in the
past, and to humiliate ourselves in view of the in
gratitude with which such blessings have beenire-
ceived. Now. when the hand of the assassin and
the traitor is raised to destroy and smte coun
try, and to turn into mockery all the holy utter
ances of our fathers in the founding of the Repub
lie. let Almighty God be implored to inspire our
public men with the pure spirit of patriotsm-turn
away the hearts Of our leaders from all selfish
scheming and guide our br ave and loyal troops to
victory, and our country to peace and security
And do further recommend, that so far as may
be, all public Offices and places of business be
closed and that ordinary avocations cease through
out said day.
In witness whereof. have hereuuto caused to
be affixed the great seal of this State, at
(L.sl Lansing. this Goth day of September, in the
- year of our Lord one thousand eight hum
dred and sixty-one. frt az-I tt.l-.r

The Balsamic Cordial is entirely a Vegetable
production, combining the healing properties of
the Balsam, with the invigorating qualities of a
Cordial, producing a combination so well adapted
to the purposes intended, that there are but few
cases of disease which will not at early period
succumb to its healing and life giving properties.
For ages, has the treatment of pulmonary dis
occupied the greater portion of the attention
of the scientific of the medical world but none
acquired more eminence in his treatment of these
diseases, than the celebrated Prussan DIR. Hoof-
land the originator of the Balsamic Cordial. His
life was devoted to the production of remedies
that would stand unriv allied. ! How well he has
succeeded, the American people are able to judge:
and positively assert, that no preparations that
have ever been placed before them. have conferred
the same amount of benefits on suffering humanity,
or have elected so many concentrations from all
classes of society, the remedies of DIR. Hoohand,
prepared by DIR. e. NJ. jackson Co., of Phadel-
pha. ....
The Cordial is designed for a class of diseases
more general and more fatal than any other to
which the people of this country subject
those springiDg from a ''sliqht cold" That emf
nent authority Dr. Bell SAYS: az will not say
that Colds are to our inhabitants what the Plague
and Yelloa0 Ferer to those of other countries
but can aver confidently that they usher in dis
ease of greater completely and mortality than these
