SWANS BOURBON BITrERs.-J. Adams Allen
M. d., L. L. D., Professor Of Principles and Prac-
tlee of Medicine in Rush Medical College, and
editor OF the Chicago Medical journal, writes as
follows:

ment on the Heterogeneous mixture in vile halt
distilled whisky worse rum, generally palmed
upon the bibulous invalid public. The mani
facturer exhibits praiseworthy confoence in the
character of the menstrum he employs by giving

BE CAREFUL.-Do not expose yourself to the
chilly March winds and the shaking weather which
always heralds their approach. Keep your chill
dren warmly clad and close from exposure. For
bad coughs, sudden or obstinate colds, Group, and
sore throat, use Goes Cough Balsam.
Ifyou have the dyspepsia, or are troubled with
food distressing you, rising and souring on your
stomach, your bowels out OF order, you are
bilious, constpated, and generally indisPosed,
use Goes Dyspepsia Cure. 1t is the best medicine
for stomach and bow ell disorders in the world.

JErrERsoN DAvrs.-The New York

JEFFERSON DAvIs.--The New York
Herald, of Friday has the following
article on the release of Jefferson Da-
Wis. s't
eWe have assurance from some re-
verend gentlemen who recently visited
Mr.. Davis, in prison, that his health
is so far affected that he cannot live
three months, whether free or captive.
These gentlemen, it appears, have ap-
pealed to the President to release
him. Various accounts have been cir
culated, from time to time, as to the
condition of Mr.. Davis health-some
representing it as unusually good, 9TH
ers as most precarious; but this is the
first time that a definite limit has
been set down to his existence. How
ever, whether these conflicting reports
be true on the one side or the other, is
not the point. The question is, who
is responsible for the detention of Mr..
Davis in Fortress Monroe2 Whose
fault is it that he has not been tried
long ago, and his case disposed of,
either by his conviction or acquittal :?
IF he is to be detained for years until
he perishes in prison, while the ends
of justice are left unserved, who shall
bear the blame?
cit is said that the President says
it is the fault of Congress. Congress
charges the President with the delay,
aud others again put the blame upon
Chief Justice Chase. 1t is time chat
this matter should be settled in some
way. 1t is disgrace to our system
of jurisprudence that the case of Mr.
Davis should be allowed to remain in
allegiance all this time. Ifhe is amen
able to the law, let him have the bene-
fit of the law, If there is any dodbt
as to the probability of his conviction
why detain him in prison2 We ad-
here tc cur first impressions, that the
ends of justice would be best subserv-
ed, and the dignity of the nation best
sustained, by opening the doors Of
Fortress Monroe, and letting him go
whithersoeyer he will. At any rate,
let his case be dealt with promptly.
Tho country is about,as weary Of the
subject as the prisoner is of his capti-
vity."
