Poisonous Medicines.

The theory that virus Of disease can be safely
counteracted by doses of poison, is false and dan
gerous Within the last twenty-five years, not less
than a score of virulent poisons have been added
TO the repository of the medical profession. They
are given in small doses, otherwise they would
destroy life Immediately; but even in minute guam
titles, they produce, ultimately, very disastrous
effects. 1t is unwse and unphilosophical to en-
ploy, as remedies, powerful and insidous sdrugs
which, in subjugating one disease SOW the seeds of
another still more unmanageable. None of these
terrible medicaments operates with so much direct.
ness and certainty upon the causes of disease as
Hostetter's Stomach Biters, tonic and corrective
without single deeterous ingredient in its com
position. Arsenic and quinia are gwen for inter-
mittents bromide of potassium for nervous dis
orders; strychnine and prussic acid for general
debility; mercury, in various forms, for liver COM
plant; preparations of chloroform and opium for
sleeplessness; and yet these deadly drugs do not
compare, as specifies for the diseases above enum-
Grated with that wholesome vegetable invigorant
and Alternative while they all pernicious that
ii is astonishing any physician should take the re
sponsibility of prescribing them, Let invalids, for
their sakes, try the Btters before they resort
to the poisons. The relief they will experience
from course of the harmless specific, will render
a recourse to the unsafe preparations referred to
quite unnecessary.

From Washington.

Washington, May IS. At few minutes
past IL o'clock the Senate went into Execu-
tive Session.
Mr.. Carpenter made report from the Sc
lect Committee appointed to investigate
how and by whom the treaty of Washington
and other recent proceeding in the Executive
Session of the Senate were made public. The
report stated that L. L. White testified last
evening that he was a correspondent of the
N. Y. Tribune, and he transmitted by tele-
graph last Wednesday night what purports to
be a copy of the treaty, and which was pub
lished on Thursday morning. He obtained
copy about 10 o'clock Wednesday night, but
declined to say from whom, not, however
upon inability on his part to answer, but be-
cause he was under honorary obligations not
to do So and he came to the examination with
fixed purpose not to divulge how he OBJ
tanned it.
II. J. Ramsdcll. assistant correspondent of
the Tribune, testified that the copy was in
writing which was copied from print, but de-
clined to say in whose possession he first saw
the printed copy, who obtained it or what was
paid for 1t. lie gave the same reasons for his
refusal to answer as stated by White
The committee decided that these are
proper questions and the reasons given for
refusing to answer are not valid, and there
fore recommend that the Senate adopt reso-
lntions directing the sargent-at-arms to ar
rest Messrs. White and Ramsdell and bring
them before the bar of the Senate, and that
they be detained till they answer for their
contemplate manner, and abide by such
further orders as the Senate may make
