Liver complaint and dyspepsia are tho causes
of two-thirds ofthe cases of consumption. Many
now complaining with aull pain in the side,
the bowels sometimes costve and sometimes too
loose, tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade,
feeling sometimes very restless and at o.her times
drowsy; the food that is taken lies heavily the
stomach accompanied with acidity and beching
of wind, These symptoms usually originate from
4 disordcred condition of the stomach or a torpid
liver. Persons affected. fthey take one or two
heavy colds, and the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive, and before
the patient is of his situation, the lungs are

Inevitable result.

The New York Commercial says: Elk.
Admiral" Semmes has made public ap.
pearance as orator and historiographer
before a Southern historical society-his
purpose being to prove that he was not
pirate in the time Of the war. He
claimed that all his acts were legitimate,
that he was inspired by patriotic ardor,
that be did his duty according to his I'M.
derstanding of what that duty was, and,
on the whole, he believed that he had
been very badly used; but he professed
his willingness to bury the Ratchet, to
forget and forgive, and to live in peace
with all men hereafter. His speech, spe.
cious and plausible, is an interesting con.
tribution to history, if not logical nor con-
vincipg. But it does not appear from
any of the facts that he rectes, or from
the arguments advanced in support orthe
theory that the Alabama was engaged in
legitimate warfare, that the record Of
Semmes' piracies requires alteration or
amendment. The judgment Of the Gene.
va Tribunal has condemned the escape OF
the rebel cruisers from British ports as q
violation Of international law, and public
opinion, sustained 10y well established
facts, has stigmatized the wanton destruc-
tion of American shipping as piracy.
Semmes is either ashamed of his acts, or
he hopes to curry favor by his tardy de-
Tense; and as he happened to escape hang.
ing during the war he cannot be held to
strict account. But when he attempts to
pervert the facts of history, he must ex-
pect to hear that he has failed to make
out his clsc.
