CA7ARRH REMEDY.
SYMPTOMS.

The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight Persons find they have cold, that they
have frequent attacks, and are more sensitive to
the changes of temperature In this condition
the nose may be dry, or slight discharge, thin
and acrid, afterwards thick and adhesive, may
ensue.
As the disease becomes chronic, the discharges
are increased in quantity and changed in quality;
they are now thick and heavy, and are hawked or
coughed off The secretions are offensive, caus-
ing bad breath; the voice thick and nasal; the
eyes are weak; the sense OF smell is lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom of
Catarrh is that the person is obliged to clear his
throat in the morning of a slick or Shiny mu-
cous, which has fallen from the head during the
night. When this takes place, the person may
be sure that his disease is its way to the lungs
and should lose no time in arresting it
The above are but few of the many Catarrhal
symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for our
pamphlet describing fully all symptoms; it will
be sent FREE to any address. Also directions
where to procure the medicine.
We are receiving letters from all parts of the
Union, and also numerous testimonials from

Proceedings of Congress.

Congress has been engaged since the
holidays in maturing work, and occa-
sionally passed some important resolu-
tions and laws. The House passed u
resolution declaring that the troops
ought not to be removed from the
States lately in rebellion without the
assent of Congress; and also passed a
law Furnishing counterfeiting with
death Mr.. Voorhees,, the friend OF
VaIlandigham, made an effort to create
copperhead capital by resolutions en-
dorsing the Presidents policy, but was
rather severely handled by Mr. Bing-
ham. An important bill extending the
operations Of the Freedmen's Bureau
has been reported in the Senate and
will probably become law. 1t will
render nugatory all the laws of the
late rebel States making a distinction
in iaw between the whites and blacks.
The copperhead rebel sympathizers in
the District are in much tribuation
lest Congress should pass a law extend
ing the right of suffrage.

The Louisiana Slave Code.

As sample of Southern intolerance
and injustice, we notice law passed
by the Louisiana Legislature for the
government Of the freedmen, reducing
them almost toa state Of slavery again.
There is no liberty to make contracts
TOR SIX mouths, or for three months, or
TO make none, but the laboreris bound
by law to make a contract OF some
sort during the first ten days Of Janu-
ary tor the whole year He may not
be offered dollar a month for his la
bor-he is bound by this law to take
what agreement they choose as to
price; they have only to hold ont ten
days and the laborers must either as
sent to their terms or take the conse-
quence5 Of violating the law. The
freedmen must hire by families when
; they exist, and the contract with the
head OF the family is binding on all the
members. Only one-haif Of the wages
Is to be paid as fast as earned, and if
labOrer leaves before his contract ex-
pires he forfeits all that is due him.
With such statutes passed by those
who again desire to take part in gov
erning our country. is il any wonder
that the freedmen in that State, some
OF whom no doubt fought gaIlantly ior
the Union while most Of these legisla-
tors were rebels, will not 60 to work
Tor such tyrants? Such people and
such States are fit only to be governed
by military law, and neither God nor
christian men can favor such Injustice.
Suffrage might be withheld, but Con
gress and the President would be re
creant to their plain duty to admit
such barbarous relics Of slavery into
the National councils while even a
taint Of this rascality is fostered.
