Water cannot be cassed under "quack' preparaL

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 we particularly alude TO ladies who are
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-
plicatons 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 have come to the conclusion that if the rem
edy is capable Of producing cure, no matter what
the disease may be, II should be made known. The
medicine is put up for the public and there should
be no exceptions.

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
is the conversion Of the starchy principle Tor
vegetable portion Of the food) into sugar, which
stimulates the kidneys TO an excessive secretion of
water. Many persons suffer from this disease who
eregnorant Of it; that Is they pass large quantities
during the day, and obliged to get up from one TO
fifteen or twenty times during the night. No notice
Is taken Of ii until their attention is called TO the
large discharge Of water and often when i is so 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
tolerable-he patient drinbs constantly Scithot be-
tn0 sdtaed also dryness of the mouth, cracking Of
clips, sweet breath, in tho more advances cases,
and finally loss Of appetite, emaciatOn, 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 il 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.

Swindling the Government.

Tbsre are very strong indications that the
Government is being outrageously swindled 10
tie sale OF army and navy appurtenances which
are in progress at various points. Horses, wsg
ons. clothing. medical and eommisssry stores,
naval transports, and, in fact, nearly oil the
equipments Of the service aside from war mum
tIons, are now being sold at auction, and the
prices obi iined for these articles are indicative
of rsscaliiy somewhere. For instance, a sale of
twenty thousand army oyercoats occurred a few
days ago Of 81. Louis, aud the lot was knocked
down TO a party IN that CITY tor fifty thousand
dollsrs-,wo and : half dollars each for good
WOODEN overcosts. Shortly after the sale. the
purchaser resold the lot for two hundred thou
sand dollars, mssiDg one hundred anc fifty thou
sand dollars clear. in . fev hours. Now the
evidence of al extensive swindle, in this case. is
TOO plain - admit Of & doubt. ST. Louis is On
excellent market for such goods. and buyers
there are shrewd enough to know what goods are
worth. The natural Inference is, therefore, that
the Government agent having charge of the sale
was IN collision With the purchasing party, and
that the MISTER was conveniently arranged 50
that there should be 10 outside competition. Bot
this is not the Only case that looks suspicious.
We have noticed that the sales of horses. mules.
and various other sdJuncts of tie army. have in
many instances brought merely nominal prices.
The fact that there is an excellent opportunity
for rascality in this matter is alone sufficient to
excite strong suspicion, FOR experience has
laugh, that such opportunities are not often
passed by unimPreved. The proper authorities
should give attention TO the subject of Govern
ment sales. and should provide against such
frauds. With a debt of three billions resting
upon their shoulders. the people are not in he
humor to look or calmly while these outraces
are being perpctrated New York Sun.
