PREPARED BY DIR. c. M JACKSON

PREPARED BYDR. c. M JA CKSON
l1 PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Thirty-fve years since they were first intro
duced into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures and benefited suffering humanity to
greater extent than any other remedies known
to the public.
These remedies will effectually cure Liver Com
plaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Chronic or Nervous
Debility, Chronic Diarrh9a, Diseases of the Kid
neys, and all Diseases arising from disordered
Liver Stomach or Intestines
DEBILITY.
Resulting from any cause whatever prostra-
ton of the system, induced by severe labor hard
ships, exposure, fevers &C.
There is no medicine extant equal to these rem
edies in such cases. A tone and vigor is immrt-
ed to the whole system, the appetite is strength
ened, food is enjoyed, the stomach digcsts pro-
perly, the blood is purified, the complexion be-
comes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is
eradicated from the eyes, bloom is given TO the
cheeks, and the weak and nervous Invalid be-
comes a strong and healthy being
Persons advanced in life and feeling the hand OF
time weighing heavily upon them, with all its
attendant Ills will find in the use of this Bitters
or the Tonic, an elixir that will instill new life
into their veins, restore in measure the energy
and ardor of more youthful days, build up their
shrtnken forms, and give health and happiness
to their remaining years.

1.-THE simplicity and accuracy of its mechanism
prevent its dropping stitches, to which many 9th
er machines are liable, and which has hitherto
brought the ''chain stitch into dsrepute. One
cannot but admire the beauty and accuracy Of its
movements, and the entire absence of all noise,
even when running at the rate of 1000 stitches
and upward per minute. This alone must prove
great recommendation to il. Another merit is
the good workmanship. The parts are made in
terchangeable, so that in the event of accident to
the machine, any part can be replaced, at II tri-
fling cost. 1t is, indeed, mechanical wonder
"a household necessity |"

LAIRDS' LAW.
I--AlINDND LA w =
From the ~ Y, Tribune.

From the NJ y. Tribune.
The fact that the Messrs. Laird have been
driven to the publication of a letter in defense
of their construction of the Alabama, only
proves that the currents of public sense and of
public opinion are setting strongly against them
in England. Mems minds must be changing
there when these arrogant shipwrights who, for
the sake of private gain, have endangered the
peace of nations, find it necessary to justify
themselves at the bar of society. 1t was not so
a few years ago. when the building of the Ala
bama was declared by thousands of Englishmen
to be meritorious action and legitimate enter
prise The letter of the Messrs. Laird is the
first rational and coherent and ineligible re-
sponse to the speech of Mr.. Sumner.
The plea set up by the Lairds is merely an
attorneys bubble, and however much it may
help them, it propOrtonately damages the Gov
ernment of England. The just complaints of
this Republic cannot be successfully met by
resort to technicalities fa ship is built in Eng
land in every respect man-of-war except that
she has no armament if that ship then proceeds
to another port for men and arms; if from
port of England men and arms are sent out to
her, then we say that in equity all these circum
stances must be taken as part and parcel of one
transaction and that Gas in the case of the
Alabama) the offense which was consummated
at the Azores was initiated in England, and that
the beginning is equally tainted with the end.
But the quarrel of the American Government,
it should be understood, is not with the Messrs.
Laird. In demanding compensation for injuries
we ignore them altogether; and whether they
publish hVe or five hundred letters, our dispute
will still be with their betters. They may plead,
if they please, that England had no laws to pre-
vent them from perpetrating a grievous and
contemplate wrong, for the sake of pecuniary
pro6t-a crime against the spirit of the age,
against humanity, and against the public peace.
What have we to do with the defects of English
legislation? How are we to be held responsible
if that legislation has failed to meet the require
ments of public law? That law should create
the statutes, not the statutes the law. 1t is not
for a nation to plead its own neglect 1t is not
for England in her own defense, to aver that
her legislation has been clumsy. We know moth
ing about that. We are not responsible for her
failure to provide the machinery through
which doctrines admitted by the whole civilized
world could be enforced, just when their en-
forcement was necessary. The inadequacy of
the law proves only the incompetency of the
lawmakers.
When the history of these transactions comes
to be considered collectively, the intelligent
reader viii be surprised to notice how com
pletey from the beginning, and especially in the
cases of the Alabama and the Rappahannock,
England has relied upon special pleading. She
has never considered, she has never Ventured to
consider, these questions in the light of the
great, predominating principles of public law.

IIPUNITY IN CRIME.

.
Avillain recently lured young girl of respect
able family from her home in this city by ardent
professions of honorable love and solemn pro-
misses OF marriage. Having thus got her COM
Pletely INTO his clutches, he seduced and soon
deserted her at Chicago, having never intended
TO make her his wife. Finding herself alone i'm
a strange city (Chicago), with no alternative but
lie OF shame or a suicides death she chose the
latter, and was corpse scarcely two weeks after
s3e Tt, was 1, entSed M away from her parental home
some variation in the catastrophe, probably
occurs in this country many thousand times Der
annum.
What shall be done about it? Can we do M
better than sit down in stolid apathy, aud saw
$50 il has been, is, and will be, and there is no
help for it p
As yet but one partial mitigation has esta-
blished itself-that of homicide. 1t has become
a part of the unwrtten, jury-made law of our
country (and we note its recent extension to the
Canadas) that the woman who has been seduced
and betrayed may kill her seducer if she win and
can. II is not ye: established that she can do
this with impunity, If she is black, brown, or
yellow, while her seducer is accounted white;
but there is a case pending In Washington which
