DIABETES

Is disease Of the stomach and liver acting through
the kidneys, and is without doubt the most obsti-
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 starchy principle Tor
vegetable portion Of tho food) into sugar, which
stimulates the kidneys to an 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 one 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 1t is so far
advanced as 10 be beyond the control Of ordinary
remedies. Another symptom is the great thirst,
which, when the disease is fully established is in
tocrable-tAe patient drinks constantly aoithout be-
ing satiSeed also dryness of the mouth, cracking Of
the lips sweet breath, in the more advances cases,
and finally loss Of appetite emaciation, and the pa
tient gradually sinks from exhaustion.
CONSTITUTION w ATER 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.

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.

Water cannot be classed under "quack" prepara-

titoners in the city. II is only secondclass physi

as his knowledge of different remedies enables him
TO produce cure while Others fail in the attempt-
Science is satisfied with the truth. .l.i
Give Constitution Water a fair trial-we mean you
who are under some SPECIALISTS care from year to
year. and we particu ularly alude to ladies who are
constantly resorting to LOCAL TREATMENT, and all
sorts Of local applications for diseases with much
chance of success as there would be from local ap-
picatons to the throat for diseases Of the brain.
We have 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 rem
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.

contamination is variously caused by mcrcural
disease, low living, disordercd digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin
it is hereditary in tho constitution, descending
"from parents to children unto the third and
fourth generation :" indeed, it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, " l will visit tho iniqui-
ties of the fathers upon their children" The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofu!a produces tubercles, and finally
Consumption in the glands, swelings which
suppurate and bccomc ulccrous sores; in tho
stomach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM

affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. publication and

and those dangerous distempers leave you.

Ayers Sarsaparilla

is compounded from the most efcctunl anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper, and for the cure OF The
disorders it entails. That it is far superior TO
any other remedy yet devised. is known by all
who have given It n trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class Of complaints, is indsputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made Of
the following diseases : Kings Evil or
Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry
sipelas, Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tu-
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series Of complaints that arise from impurity
of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS AMERICAN
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for grafuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
oil other remedies had failed to afford relief
Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tions of the country, in order that every reader
NAV have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject TO discase
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
tions Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration Of human
life. The vast importance Of these considera-
tions has led us to spend years in perfecting a
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under the name of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is CON-
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of Sdrsapdrild in Alternative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and tester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. By its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-
tions, and thus expels the distempers which
lurk within the system or burst out on any
part Of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds Of !Sdrsdparila, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will pcithcr be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Il, virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the same
name, it is very different medicine from ar
other which has been before the people, and
far more effeetual than any other which J
ever been available to them

HAS PRODUCED
A REVOLUTION IN MEDICINE

What may seem almost incredible, is, that many
diseases hitherto considered hopeessly ncurable
frequently cured in few days or weeks, and we
cheerfully invite the Investigation Of the liberal
lei at the present day.
Our medicine is peculiar; by IL the seat Of any
disease is directly reached, and the equilibrium re-
stored.
Those who have suffered long from painful and OBJ
stnate diseases; Those who have vainly sought re-
lief from advertised medicines; Those who cannot
be cured by other physicians
Are Invited TO Use Constitution Life
syrup.
During the past Eve years we have contended with
obstacles and overcome opposition as herculean as
wera aver encou ntered by any reformers.

Lincoln was selected as a compromise cam
didate, and his chief Recommendation was that
he was faithful and devoted disciple OF
Edward Bates and that school OF conservative
whig politicians. Not until after the first guns
were fred on Fort Sumter did the anti-slavery
element begin to have any influence In the al
fairs of the nation.
Who first began to find fault with Mr.. Lin
cons administration? The Abolitionists. Who
were first in the field during the present Pres
idential campaign? The Abolitionists, with
Fremont at their head. They have complain
ed every year, every month and every day,
that Mr.. Lincoln has been too slow. We do
not propose to discuss at present the question
whether he has been too slow or not. but we
only wish to point out the utter absurdity of
the prologue to Governor Seymour's long and
prosy speech. To say that passion and fanat-
icism controlled the Republican Convention Of
1860 is mere dwelling nonsense. If the ac-
ton of the Chicago convention, either in rela-
ton to resolutions or candidates, is based on
such puerile falsehoods as this, all honest and
earnest men will be mortified and Disguised
We had hoped that a real live issue would be
placed before the people; but it seems that the
democratic party have no stock in trade but
their ancient reputation, and that they can find
no better expedent than to turn back the
wheels of time and fight over again the battles
which have long ago been decided.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1864-09-02
Antedllnvian Politicians.

The present democratic party, although, as
we believe, false TO its record and to its pre-
fessions, contains nevertheless many very alb Q
men. We had good reason TO expect that in
the grand deliberation ofits sages at Chicago,
we should hear of some views. some ideas,
which would not only command respect for the
source from which they emanate, but would
also give us some light on the subject which
has so much been agitated of late--peace with
out conquering the rebels. We confess that
we awaited with good deal Of interest the
speech of Governor Seymour of New York,
which it was announced, was TO foreshadow
the character of the resolutions. The speech
has come at last; and a more weak, unstates-
manlike production We venture TO say was
never before presented before any body of like
ability and importance to the Chicago Con-
vention of 1864. II opens with simple re-
hash of the stale, insipd, worn out clap trap,
that has been adopted by the opposition ever
since the war commenced. One paragraph
will suffice. With dramatic gravity that is
ludicrous in connection with the absurdity of
the charge, Mr.. Seymour says:
"Four years ago, a convention met In this
city, when our country was peaceful, prosper
Gus and united Its delegates did not mean TO
destroy our Government, to overwhelm us
with debt, or TO dreneh our land with blood.
But they were animated by intolerance and
anaticism, and blinded by an ignorance of the
spirit of our institutions, the character of our
people and the condition of our land. They
thought they might safely indulge their pas
sions, and they concluded to do So"
None of our readers who can recollect the
the proceedings of the Convention which nom
mated Mr.. Lincoln can fail to see the falsiiy
OF this assertion. New England, which is sup
posed to be nothing il not radical, was unit
in favor of Seward, for he was put forward as
the only practical representative of the adj
Uan ;ed dnti-sidoery sentiment of the North.
Mr.. Bates OF Missouri was the conservative
chap" supported by Horace Greeley, the dele
gate from Oregon, simply as a means of de.
feating his hated enemy the present Secretary
of State. Notwithstanding Thurlow Weeds
efforts, Tom Hyer's torchlight professions
and the understanding with the "Albany Re-
gency", Seward had not the ghost Of chance.
