THIS dreadful summer complaint is now up
Il on us, and oh how many thousands it
carries to an ultimely grave every year? Be-
ware mother, how you neglect that slight
Diarrhea in your family; nip it in the bud.
Send Immediately and procure one bottle of
DROMGOOLE & CO.'S
Red Dia1'rh0a Remedy
For your family, so that you can give it when
necessary. For infants at the breast, and the
bowel complaint of children while teething, it
acts like a charm. All forms of Diarrh9a,
Cholera Morbus, nausea and vomiting, cramps,
pains in the stomach and bowels, are imme-
cured by it's use.
USE RED DIARRHEA REMEDY.
USE RED DIARRHEA REMEDY.
USE RED DIARRHGA REMEDY.
1t is so pleasant, so cooling and SO prompt,
that all praise it.
During the prevalence of Cholera in Mem
phis, last summer, it was extensively used by
the masses, and prescribed by many Physi-
clans, with the happiest results, for all the first
stages of Cholera. All cases of
BLOODY FLUX OR DYSENTERY,
Mucus Diarrhea, pains and straining of the
bowels, should not fail to use a few doses of
Dromgoole & Co. Dysentery Compound
And be cured.
All Physicians of experience agree that Dys-
EMERY and Diarrhna are treated differently,
and our compound is H MEDICINE that Will
effect a cure.
ALL MARRIED MEM
Whose wives are suffering with constant pain
and suffering each month, whose menstruation
is too much or too little, or painful, or irregu-
lar, who is suffering with falling of the womb,
with Leucorrhoa or Whites, should not fail to
carry home one bottle of
DROMGOOLE & CO.'S
English Female Bitters,
Which will cure all those complaints and re-
store them to health and buoyancy again.
THAT YOUNG GIRL
Whose very countenance, acts, color and walk,
indicate disease, can be so easily restored to
health by using the English Female Bitters."
1t touches the pale cheeks with the crimson
blush of nature, adds joy and brightness to the
detected and melancholy, gives brilliancy to
the eye and intellect, imparts beauty and
charms to fair retiring childhood, and composes
in old age

the receipt Of your letter Of the 18th
inst IN which you ask whether he
will enforce an ordinance which the
Constitutional Convention may adopt,
providing for stay of execution on
all judgments rendered in this State
courts, until the lst Of january,
1870, except judgments for taxes aud
for wages Of laborcrs, etc, and IN
reply to call your attention to the
18th and Sth sections of The act Of
Congress, passed on the ID March,
1867, defining the powers of the
Convention. BY the first Of these
sections II is enacted that "when or
ganized, il shall proceed to frame a
constitution and civil government
according to the provisions of this
act and to the act to which il is sup
4 IplcmentaryjD and the Sth section
lprovides chat the Convention for
each State shall prescribe the fees,
salary and compensation to be paid
to all delegates and other officers and
agents herein authorizsd or necessary
to carry into effect the purposes ol
this act, not herein otherwise pro.
vided for, and shall provide for tn,
levy and collection of such taxes OF
the property in such State as may b,
necessary to pay the same"
From these provisions il is clear
that the Convention is clothed witt
the extraordinary power Of framing
a constitution and civil government
ETC., and that il possesses no authori,
ty to deal with subjects of ordinar,
Legislation, except 10 levy and pro.
vide for the collection of taxes tC
pay its officers, members, etc. Ant
as the ordinance to which you refel
in your letter, is entirely foreign t.
the framing of a constitution ant
civil government, it appears to th,
Major General commanding thai
such an ordinance, If passed by th'
Convention; would be without an,
validity.
