COStiYeneSS.

This is caussd by a sluggish, torpid state of the
Liver, and arrangement of the whole system.
1t is surprising that there are So many troubled
with this distressing disease and give IL so little
attention. The diseases that follow habitual
eostiveness are many, of which Sick Headache,
Rush Of Blood to the Head, Dyspeysis, Piles,
Heart, Lung and Skin Disease and Female and
Kidney Complaints, are always aggravated by
it. Many resort to pills, and never have . free
evacuation of the bowels without their aid To
these, 1 say, stop and consider, as every pill
you take con- ains mercury, which will in time
cause you to regret the course you have taken.
By using Taylor's Stomach and Liver Corrsctor,
you will not need to take pills. two to four bottles
viii cure you.

Mercury or CalOlneI

Is the great remedy that physicians appeal to
and use almost entirely in all diseases Of the
Liver. There are thous snds at the present time
that are suffering with the rheumatic pins In
the joints, caused by the use of Calomel which
has created q disease Of Its own worse than that
which 1t was intended to cure. There 10 no
drug that leaves its mark more prominent in
the system. Yet, perhaps, there are times when
it can be given, and have BENEFICIAL effect, but
should not be dealt out as it has been, and lie at
the present time, by those that pretend to know
what they are doing, but in reality do not. The
Liver is more liable to disease than any other
organ in the human system, and when that fails
to do its duty 1t leaves the weak points of the
body exposed, as the bile 10 not thrown off, but
taken up by the blood. as it passes thro ugh this
great filter of the system, and becomes impure.
Then follows q train of diseases, whose name is
Legion. There are many that suffer from pain
in the side and across tina body, dull, heavy
drowsy feeling, headache, pain in the right side,
often severe pain in the bowels, costiveEsss, fat
ulenee, disrr hes or less igestion, loss oil
appetite, sallow skin, white of the eyes yellow,
sinking of fssh, depression of spirits, at other
times great craving for food. Some of these
symptoms are caused only by torpidity Of the
Liver. 1t Impossible to give ali the symptoms
! Of dersnged Liver, and they are all cureable
without the aid of Calomel.

THE Temple of Honor hauled the cham
pion ofice-seeker sover the Goals last night
for buying votes with whisky. He denied
that ever dollar of his money went for any
such purpose, but said one bill of S. was
presented to him for beer, but that he repu-
dated payment. He did not explain how
the bill happened to be presented to him.
The Temple Of Honor ~ then dropped the
subject without any investigation, although
a good temperance lady of the city was re-
ported to have said she could prove the
charge. We hope the subject will be drop
ped and looked upon as the unfortunate at
tempt Of an over anxious Office seeker to
secure votes, for his defeatss and his efforts
at securing the saloon vote and then refus-
ing to pay that little bill for beer ofonly FIVE
dollars has most efectually ended his polit-
ioal career in this vicinity. Why persecute
a man in defeat, let the dead past bury it's
dead and let the champion Office seeker rest
In peace.

up good load of freight and passengers
took on considerable freight at Davenport,
about 200 packages of mixed freight, and
100 bbls. of -four at this port, and left fol-
below with good list of passengers.
The Savanna, Capt. Ball, is expected up
this evening.
The Dubuque, Capt. Hill, leaves st
Louis tomorrow evening for st. Paul, or as
far as the ice will permit her to run.
Freights are good all along the river, but
the passenger travel is light, as it is toe
early in the season.
The river is at good boating stage, and
rising slightly.
The packet lines will, in all probability
run the same as last year, although nothing
definite has been received from head
quarters.

THERE are r1mors and counter rumors OF
q change in the ownership, or rather control
of the Rockford, Rock Island d st. Louis
railroad, but not being in the ring we can.
not speak from authority. 1t is certain,
however, that change of some sort has
taken place in the control Of the road, but
whether Capt. Robinson, Gable, the C. B. &
O. R. R., or the Mitchell and Davidson com.
bination are the owners, we are unable to
say at this writing. The old managers
heve been anxious to sell out for some time,
and We may add, by way of local interest
that there is good many others anxious that
they should sell. For some months they
have been unable to pay their little bills.
which is q matter of no little Importance to
those who hold the said bills, and, is a mat,
ter that is seriouslyE affecting their standing
in this community. The people doing bust.
ness with the road are willing to accept any
