Regular and sufficient action of the Kid

than regularity of the bowels. The Kid

THE GREAT REP UTATTON
as A GREAT AND GOOD MEDICINE
I t II a S No q . u al
DTsEASEs on THE BLOOD.

The life of the flesh is the blood, is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be
true. The people talk of bad blood, as the
cause of many diseases, and like many pop
ular opinions this of bad blood Is founded
in truth
The symptoms of bad blood are usually
quite plain-bad Digesrion-causes imPer-
feet digestion, and consequently the circu-
lation is feeble, the soft tissues loose their
tone and elasticity, and the tongue becomes
pale. broad. and frequently covered with a
pasty, white coat This condition soon
shows itself in roughness of the skin, then
in ERUPTIvE and LUCRATIVE diseases, and
when long continued, results in serious le-
sions of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or uniary
apparatus Much, very much, suffering is
caused by impure blood 1t is estimated by
some that one-ffth of the human family are
effected by scrofula in some form.
When tho Blood is pure, you are not so
liable to any disease Many impurities of
the Blood arise from impure diseases of
large cities Eradicate every impurity from
the fountain of life, and good spirits, fair
skin and vital strength will return to you.

of
Diseases of the Ner-
VOuS system.

Almost nine teuths of our people suffer
from nervous exhaustion, and are, there
fore, liable to its concomitant evils of men
tai depression, confused ideas, softening of
the brain, insanity, and complete breaking
down of the general health. Thousands are
suffering to-day with broken-down nervous
systems, and, unfortunate, tobacco; alcohol,
late hours, over-work, (mental and physic-
ali are causing diseases of the nervous sys-
tenn to increase at fearful ratio.
The symptoms to which diseases of the
nervous System give rise, may be stated as
follows
A dull, heavy feeling in the head, some
times more or less severe pain or headache;
Period ical Headache, Dizziness, Noises or
Ringing in the Head, Confusion of Ideas
Temporary loss of Memory, Detection of
Spirits, Starting during Sleep, Bad Dreams,
Hesitation in answering Questions, Dulness
of Hearing, Twitching of the Face and
Arms, &c, which, if not promptly treated,
lead to Paralysis, DelirIum, Insanity, Impo-
tency, Apoplexy, &C., &c.

Right ans Wrong.

The Memphis 4ralanche, referring to the
new Constitution, says:
"Ihe elements which oppose it are, in
number, two; in strength, about equal They
are, the ultra Radicals and the ultra
Southerners. The former oppose it because
1T does not prescribe the rebels
The latter oppose it because it does not
prescribe Unionists'
Our contemporary is right in the first as
sertion, and entirely correct in the second.
But he misses it long way when be says
"rebeIs will oppose it because it does not
prescribe Unionists." "Rebels' viii do no
such thing; but the people viii oppose it be-
cause negro suffrage was not submitted to
them as separate issue; because it favors
the shackling of commerce; and because it
embodies poll-tax qualifications that is as
repugnant as any measure can possibly be-
When the foundation of government is to be
laid, no lodging or squirting should be in
Obliged in. Can any of the champions of
the proposed constitution deny the double
meaning of the polI-tax qualification They
cannot do it and wear the mantle of truth.
If the wicked proposition to drive every
man from the polls who does not exhibit a
poll-tax receipt prevails, will it not conflict
with the poor man 5 interestP Just as sure
as fate, and in this way particularly: But
few negroes will comply with the law and
keep themselves in a condition to go to the
polls The election draws near; only two
candidates are running for a given Office
one is an honest poor man, and the other il
dishonest rich politically, we mean
in the district there are large numbers o
negroes who cannot vote because they hav,
not paid the tax, but who would vote for tn
person that paid their poll-tax for them
Any intelligent man can easily determine
what the result would be. Adopt the con
stitution and you open the gates of bribery
and place the highest Office in the gift ofth
people within the reach of such miserabl
sneaks and vampires as the groveling saddle
thief who occupies a seat in Congress fror
this district, AS for Hardemau county sh
has too much honesty and principle t

The Peabody Hotel is still the most popu-

to good fare, clean and comfortable rooms,
nothing renders a few days stay at hotel
more pleasant, than attentive and gentle
