Proclamation Of the Governor Of Illinois.

M1LwAuKEE. .2-Goveruor TAYLOR has is
sued proclamation having reference to resist
ance of the railroads to the law last winter
He cites hatsuch law was passed and approved;
that competency of legislation to regulate rail-
roads is conceded, and yet that the St Paul
and Northwestern Railroad Companies have
announced their determination to operate their
roads without reference to the provisions of
the Act. This, be says, is at once source of
profound regret. and in marked contrast with
the patience and submission exhibited by the
people in the presence of what they. have
deemed the unjust and burdens6me exactions
of the railroad companies iimpost, aud if per-
sisted in must seriously disturb business and
greatly imporil the industries of the State
The proclamation concludes as follows: there
fore enjoiD all railroad companies, their officers
aud agents. peaceably to submit to the law, for,
since the Executive is charged with the re-
sponsibiity ofseeing that the laws are faithfully
executed, all tho functions of his office will be
exercised to that end, and for that purpose he
invokes the aid of all good citizens.
DISEASES OF THE BLooD.-"Tbe Blood is
the Life" When this source is corrupted,
the painful and sorrowsproducing effects are
visible in many shapes. The multifarious
subjects upon which might write volumes.
But as all the varied forms of disease which
depend upon bad blood are cured, or best
treated, by such medicines as take up from
I this fluid and excrete from the system tie
noxious clements. it is not of practical i'm
portance that should describe each. For
instance, medical authorities describe about
fifty varieties of skin disease, but as they
all require for their cure very similar
treatment it is of no practical utility to know
just what name to apply TO a certain form of
skin disease, so you know how best to cure it.
Then again might go on and describe
rious kinds of scrofulous sores. fever sores,
white swelliDgs, enlarged glands, and ulcers
of varying appearance might describe how
virulent poison may show itself in various
forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore throat, bony
tumors, etc; but as all these various appear
ing manifestations of bad blood are cured by
a Uniform means, 1 deem such q course I'M
necessary. Thoroughly cleanse the blood,
which is the great fou ntain of life, and good
digestion, fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital
strength, aud soundness of constitution, will
all return to- MS. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative
Pellets are pre-eminently the articles needed.
