NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE.

BUFFALO, D ecember 8.

tions asking the modification OF the regulations
for the transportation Of imported goods from
the seaporis to the interior towns. 1t takes the
ground that there Is no necessity that cars or yes.
sells should contain no other goods than those
shipped in boad. They urge civil service re.
form; that railroad companies should give
shippers of grain bills Of lading that would
be good at the point Of delivery for the
quantity specified as received, and railroad
companies be responsible for the deficiency.
They ask Congress for the GENITAL system for
measurement In handling grain and similar arti.
cles; urge the allowance Of tare on ctton, and
the abolition Of State laws discriminating against
nonresident traders. A resolution asking Con-
gress to pass laws overriding these local regula-
tions did not receive a two-thirds vote. The

@-HABITUAL CONSTIPATION-HOW
TO EFFECT A CERTAIN AND PERMANENT
CURE.-some occupations Of life predispose to
costiveness, especially those which allow but little
exercise. Persons who contract this unfortunate
habit OF body, under such circumstances, might
possibly be relieved by changing their sedentary
employments for others OF q more active kind;
but this is by no means certain. Habitual con.
st.pation is very obstinate disorder. All the Or
dlnary socalled remedies invariably aggrayate 1t.
Nothing can be more injurious than the continued
use Of strong aperIents. They at first irritate,
and finally almost paralyze the bowels-render-
Ing them so torpid that enormous doses Of cathar-
tic medicines have no effect upon them. mild

true remedy; and combination In the happiest
proportion OF these ingredients, is found In HOS

Cases OF constipation abandoned as hopeless by
distinguished medical men have been cured In
few weeks by the Btters. To those who have
tried all the medicines Of the dspensary in vain,
we say try this irresistible stlmulant and aperi-
