WE PUBLISH TO THE WoRLD-The
remarkable medicinal properties OF the
"Queen's Delight" No medicine is
80 we'll known and recognized among
eminent physicians as valuable therG-
peutic agent as the Queens Delight
Somo doctors think it ranks next to
calomel in its Alternative powers. A
learned doctor thus speaks OF it:
"QUEEN's DELIGHT" seems to exert a
power upon every cell anil molecule of
the body, and modifies their func-
ton and condition. It reaches both
the fluids and solids. and impresses
upon them curdtiue influence nne-
qualed by any other medicine. In
chronic diseases of the throat, there is
no agent compared with it in value. It
relieves tho cough, obviates the night
sweats, improves the appetite, and
often induces return to health under
The nost uufayorable circumstances.
In consumption and bronchial dis
eases, the use of "Queen's Delight"
has been marked Will. signal advHn-
,age. Queens Delight manifests de-
cided impression on Tho mucous ni cm-
braEes, changing their condition by its
Alternative powers. Rheumatism, both
acute and chronic. obey promptly the
searching powers OF this medicine; !;
aching limbs and back cease to tor
ment, comfort and health is restored.
In diseases of the liver, spleen,
bladder and skin, the Queens Delight
may be nsed with great benefit. For
The cure Of any OF tho many diseases
incident to the summer season, it can
not be excelIed. and we would recon-
mend every family to have bottle of
:: IL the hcnsn ut uIl times, in case OF
sudden sickness. 1t is no whiskey or
vinegar preparation, but u pleasant al
terative tonic, which hns cured thou

good health. For dyspepsia and weak
stomach, the liver and kidneys, coughs
and sore throat, the lungs ond splitting

a WORD FOR MIR. BURGIz.

In our local columns will be found a
brief account of an accident by which
a useful man was hurried to death.
Our readers viii perhaps remember
Monday morning. 1t was wet and
dismal day, calculated to render walk
ing on the top of cars especially dan
gerous. While engaged in this nee.
cssary task a conductor named Tur-
ner was killed upon the Mobile & Ohio
Road, and we ask if there is any rea-
SON why this accident should have
occurred, aud if there is any reason
why similar accidents shall happen
over and over again hereafter.
Those who are termed freight con-
ductors are exposed to far greater dam
gers than those who have charge of
the express and passenger trains, In
the night time, in rain, in sleet, in
snow, with the train running Mt full
speed, it often becomes necessary for
them to pass from the front to the
death. Is there no remedy for this?
Cannot Mr.. Burgh, who Is devising
means,to protect the feelings of sea-
turtles and game chickens, do some
thing for the men who labor upon the
freight trains in the United States?
He has induced the Legislatures of
many States to pass laws for the bene-
fit Of the dumb brutes, the birds, the
fish, and all this is well enough. But
viii he not includethe brakesmen and
conductors on freight trains in his
wide philanthropy! Is it impossible
to induce the Legislatures of the diff
ferent States, or if they cannot pass
the enactments necessary, to induce
Congress TO establish laws compelling
railroad corporations to do something
to protect the lives of their employees?
What is to prevent tire passage of
laws requiring every company to con-
struct freight ears on a different
model: Cannot a guard or railing
foot high, something like that of
stage coach, be run around their outer
edges, aud cannot mating or net
work of some kind be placed between
each car, which would catch falling
man! Beyond doubt and at very fri
fling expense. This matter can be
remedied and ought to be remediod at
once. The present arrangement is
simply murderous, and Railroad
Company that will not, through the
promptings of humanity, construct
its box cars with a view to protect the
lives of those who have them in
charge, should be made TO do so by
law.
