RELIEF FOR THE AFFLicTED--It Is an old saving
that the indiseretions VI mankind are manifold and
the records annually published In medical works
attest the truth of the assertion. Men commit gre
yous errors against the lsws OF Dainre and moraii
tp and pay the penalty in the shape Of loathsome
disease acute pain and prolonged suffering Each
wear increases Instead OF diminishing the evil and
the long catalogue of sufferers stretches Out to an
extent absolutely appalling. The man who seeks
to correct these stuPendous evils We regard
public benefsct0r. The physician who makes the
class Of diseases TO which refer speciAli v. and
who by study, application and experience, iabors
10 relieye mankind of the direful consequences
which must inevitably eusue, is aboring for pur-
nose which Is praiseworthy and CONNIE ndabie
Such man Is Dr. Bigelow, No. 464 South State St
Chicago and whose advertisement may be found in
our columns. He is by education and experience
emiuently qualified TO undertake all and even
to restore to health where Others have failed.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it superiority over all remedies
ever offered to the public for the safe, certain spec
dy and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or
Chills and Fever, whether OF short or long stand
ing. He refers to the entire Western and South
ern country to bear him testimony to the truth of
the assertion that IN no case whatever will 1t fail
to cure If the directions are strictly followed and
carried out. In great many cases a single dose
has been Sufficient for 8 cure. and whole families
have been cured by a single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. 1t is however,
prudent, and IN more certain of cure, If
its use is continued in smaller doses for week
two after the disease has been checked, more es-
pecally in ditficult and long standing cases. Usu
ally this medicine will require any aid to keep
the bowels in good order Should the patient,
however, require a catharic medicine, after having
taken three or four doses of the tonic, single
dose of Bulls Vegetable Family Pills will be sutf-
cient.

The cares, anxiehes and misiortunes Of life have
as much to do with shortening II as disease. They
are in fact the source Of many ailments and physical
disabilities. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, affec-

headaches, hypochondria and monomania are
among these distressing fruits II is therefore, Of
great importance that persons whose minds are
oppressed with heavy business responsibilities, or
harassed by family troubles, or excited by specula-
ton, or perplexed by multiplicity Of enterprises,
or in any way overtaxed or overworked, should
keep up their stamina by the daily use Of a whole

stanced are enabled to bear up against the diff.
hculties in which they are involved, and to retain
their strength, health and menal cearness, by the
regular use Of IIostetter's stomach Bitters. Dis
eases which are prone TO attack the body when
debtated and broken down by over-much brain
work or exhausting physical labor are kept at bay
by the resistant power with which this incompara.

The National Revenues and Expendl
lures,


The following tables, compiled from
official sources, and carefully revised, af-
ford correct exhibit of the revenues and
expenditures of the Government during
the last twelve years, beginning with the
commencement of the rebellion and ex-
tending down to the close of the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1872 The returns
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1873,
have not yet been received and are not
included
With few exceptions, every dollar re-
ceived and covered into the Treasury of
the United States is drawn from the earn
ings OF our own people, or those of other
nations who seek our markets for the sale
OF their products. 1t is the right of the
people, therefore, to be informed as to the
sources from which the public funds are
received, wnat it costs to collect them
and how they are expended In these
tables the receipts from each source OF
revenue are given in separate columns
excepting those which return compare
lively small amounts, which have been
grouped together in a single column
The same arrangement has been adopted
in reference to the disbursements. The
following is tn result for each year, com
mencing with 1861, and the total collec
tions and disbursements for twelve years

for the table, says an exchange, we are as
sured by one who has made the expert
ment is superior to anything yet discov-
cred for the preparation of that excellent
article; Take good ripe tomatoes, cut
them in slices, and sprinkle over them
finely pulverized white sugar, then add
claret wine sufficient to cover them.

and press them through fine seive to six

quantity of best vinegar; then set 1t over

cold, bottle and cork tight. Boil in brass

Horrors in a Lunatlc Asylum.

A MOST horrible and almost incredible
condition of affairs in the Vermont Insane
Asylum Is described in the report of the
Legislative committe appointed to investi-
gate the management of that institution.
The committees first discovery was that
the asylum, which is controlled by a pri-
vate corporation, was greatly overcrowded,
495 patients being packed into a space in
tended to accommodate 300 at the most.
This, however, is trihing matter in com
parison with other revelations. Seventy
five of these unfortunates were thrust
awap in subterranean dungeons, dark,
damp, foul and peryaded by unendura-
BILE stenches. Some we're confined in
apartments nine feet by four in size, with
air and ventilation only through auger-
holes bored in the doors. The active as
we'll as the passive inaictions put upon
