1.-THE life of the flesh is in the Blood is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be
true. The people talk of bad blood, ms the
cause of many diseases, and like many popu-
lar opinions this of bad blood is founded in
truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain--bad Digestion-causes imperfect nutri-
ton, and consequently the circulation is fee
ble the soft tissues lose their tone and elastic
ity, and the tongue becomes pale. broad. and
frequently covered with pasty. white coat
This condition soon shows itself in rouOhness of
the skin, then in RRUPTIvE and LUCRATIVE
diseases, and when long continued. results in
serious LESSONS of the Brain, Liver. Lungs, or
urinary apparatus. Much, very much. suffer-
ing is caused by impure blood. tits estimated
by some that one-ffth of the human family
are effected with scrofula in some form.
When the Blood is pure. you are not so liza
BILE 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.

KosKoo.- This medicine is rapidly
gaining the confidence of the people and
the numerous testimonials of its virtues,
given by practitioners of medicines,
leave no doubt that it is safe and re-
liable remedy for IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD,
that speaks in hig terms of its curative
properties, and give special recon-
mendation of Koskoo to Il practitioners
of medicine. This is, we believe, the first
instance where such medicines have been
officially Endorsed by the faculty of any
Of the medical colleges, and reflects great
credit upon the skill of DIR. Lawrence,
its compounder, and also puts Koskoo "
in the VAN Of all other medicines Of the
present day.-Erom the Norfolk Daily

Is remedy of Wonderful Efficacy in the cure Of
diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder. In these
Affections Il Is as near a specific any remedy
can be. It does its work kindly, silently, and
surely. The Relief which it affords is both GER
tain and perceptibte.
DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER.
Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions Of the Kidneys cannot estimate the
Importance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys
is as important, nay, even more so, than regu-
larity Of the bowels. The Kidneys remove
from the Blood those effete matters which, If
permitted to remain. would speedily destroy
life. A total suspension of the urinary dis
charges will occasion death from thirty-six to
forty-eight hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quanti-
ties at the time, or when there is disposition
to Urinate more frequently than natural. or
when the Urine is high colored or scalding
with. weakness in the small Of the back it
should not be trihed with or delayed, but Kos
koo should be taken at once to remedy the
difficulty, before Lesson of the organs takes
place. Most Of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those of the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys,
prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary
passages. When we reeollect that medicine
never reaches the Kidneys except through the
general circulation Of the Blood, we see how
necessary it is to keep the Fountain Of Life
Pure.

Senate.

Continued from the Third Edition.
Mr.. Ramsey called up the annual Post Route
bill, which was variously amended, and passed
Mr. Spencer by unanimous consent, addressed
the Senate upon the bill to regulate the hours
of labor of Government laborers and mechanics.
His speech was mainly in reply to
the Senator from Vermont. Mr.. Morri,
who had assumed that the eight
hour system neeessitated corresponding re-
duction in the wages of laborers. He advocated
the claims upon the Government Of the labor
ing classes in Governmental employ and urged
the passage of the pending bill upon this sub
ject without amendment so that the benehcent
purposes of the eight-hour system might be
secured to those for whose benefit they were
designed.
Mr.. Upton, rising to a privileged question,
said that it appeared by the Globe that on the
previous day the Senator from Massachusetts
(Mr. Sumner) had forwarded to the Clerk and
had read telegram from the Governor of Ne
braska announcing the ratification of the fif-
teenth amendment by the Legislature of that
State. Believing that parliamentary courtesy
required that such intelligence should be COM
municated by one of the Senators representing
that State, he wouldno " inquire of his colleague
CMr. Thayer) whether he had received any
official information on the subject
Mr.. Thayer said he had received from the
Governor of Nebraska despatch similar in pnr-
port to the one which had been read at the
suggestion of Mr. Sumner. If the Governor of
Nebraska had desired the reading at the Clerks
desk of any telegram from him he, Mr.. Thayer)
thought that Senator from Nebraska would
have been preferred by the Governor to make
the request.

FROM THE DOMINION
New Brunswick Advices.

ST.! JOINS, N. B., Feb. 19..-The Government
is at a dead lock with the Legislative Council
because the former has dismissed Mr.. Botsford,
who had been for many years Clerk of the
Council, and the Council refuse to recognize
these officers, and have retained Botsford in his
position.
The Government accuses Botsford of enter
tanning annexation sentiments, and say that he
owes the Provisional Treasury large sum of
money. The committee of the Legislative Coun-
Gil have reported that they consider the Cover
nor General as the only representative of Her
Majesty in the Dominion, and as Botsford holds
his commission direct from the Crown, they re-
gard the action of the Government as illegal.
The Newfoundland House of Assembly has
agreed to the paragraph in reply to the Lieute-
nant- Governors reference to confederation with
Canada. 1t declares growing feeling of disin-
clination to link the destinies of Newfoundland
with those of the Dominion, in the future of
which they can at present see nothing to inspire
hope, but much to create apprehension.
