will adhere with answering fidelity TO the Union
of our strength, security and happiness as people,
and as framework Of government equally conduc-

mediate efforts be made for cessation of hOstilities
with view to ultimate convention of the States,

Resolred, That the direct interference Of the mill

Delaware, a shameful violation of the Constitu-
ton; and repetition of such acts IN the approach

rights of the States unimpaired; and they hereby
declare that they consider that the administrative

DIABETES

Is disease of the stomach and liver acting through
the Kidneys and is without doubt, the most obst-
nate disease, except Consumption, that affects the
human constitution. We have no space for discus
sing causes, but will state that the effect Of the dis
ease is the conversion of the sarchy principle Tor
vegetable portion of the fOod) into sugar, which
stimulates the kidneys to excessive secretion of
water. Many persons suffer from this disease who
are ignorant Of it, that is they pass large quantities
during the day. and are obliged to get up from to
fifteen or twenty times during the night. No notice
is taken Of it until their attention is called to the
large discharge of water and often when it is far
advanced as to be beyond the control of ordinary
remedies. Another symptom is the great thirst,
which, when the disease is fully established. is in
tOerable-bse patient drinks constantly aDithout BE-
ing sased; also dryness of the mouth, cracking Of
the lips asweet breath, in the more advances cases.
and finally loss Of appetite, emaciatiOn, and the pa
tient gradually sinks from exhaustion.
CONSTITUTION WATER is, without doubt, the only
known remedy for diabetes, and we have as much
confidence that it is specific as we have that opium
will produce sleep, and truthfully say that it has
cured every case in which it has been used.
Stone I'm the Bladder, Calculus, Grav.
ell, Brick Dust Deposit, ETC., ETC.,
Diseases arising from faulty secretion-in the one
case being too little, and accompanied by severe pain
and in the other too profuse secretion-whch will
be speedily cured by the

contamination is variously caused by mcrcuriaI
disease, low living, disor'lercd digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the vcnereal infection. Whatever he its origin
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
from parents to children unto the third and
fourth gcneration;" indeed it seems to he the
rod of Him who says, a" will visit the iniqui-
ties Of the fllhcrs upon their children" The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubcrcles. and finally
Consumption; in the glands swellngs which
suppurate and bctome ucerous sores /; in the
stomach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM
plants; on the skin, cruptive and cutancous
affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. publication and
invigoration Of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous dstempers leave you.
With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you can
not have health with that life of the flesh
healthy, you cannot have Serofulous disease.

CONSTITUTION WATER

Has been pronounced by the Medical Faculty and the
public to be the most wonderful remedy for the per-
manent cure Of all diseases of the STOMACH, LIV-
Err, KIDNEYS and BLADDER that has ever been
offered. "
It is not a MINERAL WATER. It is from expo
rience that CONSTITUTION WATER has emenat-
ed, and we now say let no man doubt, when single
bottle has been known to cure diseases which the
best medical talent in the country failed TO relieve
remedy possessing the virtues Of Constitution
Water cannot be classed under "quack" prcpara-
tions as il is used BY the most scientific prac
titioners in the city. II is only secOndclass physi
clans that cry down popular remedies while the bet
ter skilled make use Of every means TO accomplish
a cure and the success of the physician increases
as his knowledge of different remedies enables him
to produce cure, while others fail in the attempt.-
Science is satisfied with the truth.
Give Constitution Water fair trial-we mean you
who are under some SPECIALISTS care from year to
year, and partic ulary allude to ladies who arc
constantly resOrting to LOCAL TREATMENT, and all
sorts Of local applications for Diseases with as much
chance of success as there would be from local ap-
pcations to the throat for diseases Of the brain.
Wehaye always been careful TO use language in
our circular that could not shock the most delicate
organization, but we receive many communications
from persons for whom Constitution Water is adapt
ed, and Of whose disease no mention has been made
that we have to the conclusion that if the
edy is capable of producing cure, no matter what
the disease may be, it should be made known. The
medicine is put up for the public and there should
be no exceptions.
