Notice TO the Public.

TN THE YEAR 1876. THE WRITER EN-
i barked in the drug business in the city of
Philadelphia, and while thus engaged. made
several experiments in regard to the most de-
sirable mode of preparing Fluid Extracts. My
efforts being successful-the articles being APP
proved and used by the Medical faculty-I was
DESTROYS of placing them before the public, but
hesitated for some time before concluding to re-
sort to newspaper advertising, knowing of the
against using advertised Medicines or Nostrams.
but through the advice Of friends and those who
had used them this objection was overcome.
After eighteen years exertions. commencing
in q small way. the popularity Of my articles
has extended to all parts of the United States,
and widely throughout foreign countries-and
this in the face of much opposition. Every
means has been resorted to by unprinciplod
dealers since their merit and success have been
known-such as advertising larger bottles at
less price, censuring all other preparations, and
even copying my advertisements-but | ain
happy to state that out of the many who have
resorted to this, none have been successful.
My object in this notice Is to make facts
known to the public and respectable dealers
believing, after so many years exertions, that
the Druggists will dscountenance such pro-
ceedings. and that the reputation Of my articles
may not be damaged by the use of inferior or
spurious ones.
Knowing that many may read this article

names are known in all parts of the world

LONDON, August T. = The King Of
Prussia has returned TO Berlin. The
municipality presented TO him a con-
pratulatory address. In reply the King
expressed his thanks He pointed out
that Prussia had drawn the sword, not
only for her independence, but for the
reorganization of Germany. The FIRST,
the King said, had been assured. The
second MAY, with the help of God, be
also obtained. Every thing promises q
happy future for Prussia, as an honora-
bic and lasting peace is imminent
The King in person opened the Prus-
sian Chambers yesterday. The follow
ing is his speech in full:
Industrious MOBILES and loyal gentlemen
of both Houses of the Diet: Nov that

atives Of the country, my heart impels
me to express first Of all from this place
my own and my peoples thanks for
Gods gracious goodness which has as
sisted Prussia, amidst heavy but success
full sacrifices, not only in averting from
our frontiers the dangers Of hostllities,
but enabling the army Of the country by
rapid victory to add fresh laurels to its
inherited fame.
But to smooth course for the national
development Of Germany, accompanied
by the visible blessing Of God, the part
of the nation capable Of bearing arms
enthusiastically obeyed the summons 70
the sacred struggle for independence and
fatherland. Our heroic army, supported
By n few but faithful allies, advanced
| from success to success, from victory TO
victory, in the east as in the west
Much precious blood has been shed.
The country mourns the loss Of many
brave men, who died heroes in the flush
Of triumph, until our standard waved
along a line extending from Carpaihians
70 the Rhine. II will be for the Govern
ment and the Representatives Of the peo-
pie, in united cooperation, to bring TO
maturity the fruits that must be gathered
from this sanguinary struggle, and pre-
vent its being scattered In vain.

the sulphurous clouds Of battle.
Tender friendships are withered, and hate
takes their place. Those upon whom
the honest heart had been accustomed
to rely, forsake it and lay snares for its
destruction. Accustomed to the work OF
demolition, the mind comes at last to
conclude thst war is right, and that moth.
ing which peace had forbidden is wrong.
Religion, where men are hewn down by
the acre, is not respected Accustomed
to look upon the corpse of a human be-
ing with Indifference, the idea of future
accountability loses its force, and yields
to those passions which had been kept
in subsection by it Decentralization
ensues Then comes crime in
every phase in which il is possible
for it to appear Our war left both sec
tons at the mercy of vast number OF
desperate men, while many thousands
were, it is feared, hopelessly depraved.
The business Of the hour is to hasten
with all dispatch the return Of the people
to their former virtue. Religion must
do its great work. 1t is the countrys
first and last reliance 1t has its auxili.
aries, aud they must all be marshalled to
the work.

AMERICAN SILVER.

complaint, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
about the extensive circulation of Amer

this money has driven bank notes ont
Of circulation in the towns, and they are
now almost exclusively in the hands of
the country people, and the danger is
the greater in case of any sudden alarm
or revulsion 1t is so long since we
have laid eyes on a silver currency that
we almost forget what its effect was upon
the paper currency, but we don't think
any one here would complain if silver
and gold once more came back to us.

REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAMME
Mutierlngs of the Storm
How the Thing Is TO be Done

The following calculation o: the Radi-
cal strength in the next Congress is
made by the Nation, an intensely Rsdi-
cal sheet in the interest Of the Northern
revolutionists We print it that our
readers may see by what means they
intend to carry their ends IL the people
should decide against them
When the Southern seats are filled
there will be " Senators and 242 Repre-
sentatives But there are not more than
81 persons now claiming TO be Senators,
nor more than 90 claiming TO be Repre-
sentatives, who could possibly be induced
to take part in any such disorganizing
and revolutionary proceeding The
scheme, therefore, cannot at present be
carried out with the slightest pretense Of
legality.
But the next Congress will present an
entirely different question. There is
very little doubt that the Republican
party will lose one representative in
Connecticut. three in New York, one in
Pennsylvania, three in Ohio, three in
Indiana. two in Illinois, one in Michigan,
one in Wisconsin, two in Missouri, and
one in Kentucky; while the four John
