CONSUMPTION

THE GREAT REMEDY FOR CONSUL PTION which can be cured by a timely resort to this stand ard preparation, as has been proved by the hundreds of testimonials received by the proprietors. It is acl1nowI- edged by many prominent physicians to be the most reliable preparation ever in- troduced for the relief and cure of all, Lung complaints, and is offered to the public, sanctioned by the experience of over forty years. When resorted to ill season it scl- dom fails to effect q speedy cure in the most severe cases of Coughs, Bronchitis, Group, Whooping Cough, Influenza, Asthma, Colds, Sore Throat, Pains or Sore ness in the Chest and Side, Liver Complaint, Bleeding at the Lungs, &c. Wistar's Balsam does not dry up . Cough, and leave tho cause behind, as is the case with most preparations, but it loosens and cleanses the lungs, and allays irritation, thus removing the cause of the complaint. ,..

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. It's symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and respondent victims of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn,
of every malady This is due, in part, to
the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part also
to the fact that any disturbance of the d.
gestive function necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system,

Mr.. Hawley, of Illinois. | hope there
will be no objection. 1t is a memorial
from the Legislature of the State of Hi

The Speaker The Chair thinks when
gentlemen present memorials which are or

ought not to ask that they be read, in that
way taking up the time of the House.

The Speaker The gentleman from
Kentucky insists on the regular order OF

enforce it.
Mr.. Hawley, of Illinois. Because the
gentleman from Kentucky does insist upon
his objection, ask that the memorial be
printed, and referred to the Committee on

subject? The people want that bill pass

words and actions now prove his position

Mr.. Hawley takes credit to himself for
requesting the Secretary of War to open
the bridge to public use, but this was af-
ter public sentiment had demanded, in no
uncertain tones, that it should be opened.
Mr. Cotton's bill will place the question
beyond the caprice of a congressman, the
whim of an ordnance officer, or the dicta-
ton of Secretary of War. Will John B.
Hawley assist in securing the passage of
that bin by voice and vote? The people

us that the lower vein of coal was about le
inches thick above this is layer of slate

Indistinct Ailments,

There are many distressing symptoms of disease
the causes of which are uncertain. Debility, ner-

engendered by foul stomach. When this is the

The Advantages Of Rock Island Appreciated
as a Railroad Centre.

In week or two Davenport will be
abandoned by the G.. r. /. 4 2. r. r. as a
point to make up freight trains, and all
trains on that road will be made up in this
city, after which all trains will run between
Rock Island and Brooklyn, Iowa, instead of
Davenport and Brooklyn as at present
Also all freight trains between this point and
Chicago will be made up here instead of at
Davenport, as now. The Davenport pa
pers are rather down in the mouth about
this change, but it cant be helped. 1t is
probably only precursor of another
change, when all passenger trains will be
made up here Also and this be made the
halfway point between Chicago and Oma-
ha, where all passenger trains will stop for
meals, and where the Offices and sub-head-
quarters of the road (which are now at
Davenport will be located Our friends
over the river have had fat take" out of

Your letter of the 10th. inst il before in which
you say. My object in writing to you at this time
is to know whether you are aware Of any oppos-
tion in Congress, TO keeping the Bridge open to
public usen
In reply, permit me TO say that am not aware OF
any such oppositiona the matter has thus far been
under the control of the Secretary of Wsr the sub
ject has never been before either House. The news
paper article upon the subject, and to which You
refer has no foundation in truth. The Bridge
opened to the public at my request, and have
never done, thought of doing any act thing TO
to restrict its use TO the pubic and any statement
by any to the contrary, is most wickedy false.
Very truly Yours, JOHN B. HAwLEY,
