Of liver complaint and both the mineral
and vegetable Kingdoms have been dill
gently searched to procure the most
drastic ana poisonous purgatIves, III order
to produce powerful effect upon the
liver, and arouse the tagging and "nicc-
bled organ. This system Of treatment
is on the same principle IL that OF giving
u weak and debiltated man larg" por-
tions of brandy to enable him to doa Ger
tain amount ofwork. When the ,timu-
liant is withheld, the organ, like tn" sys-
TEN, gradually relapscs into more tor
pid, or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What then is wanted?
Medicines which, while they cause the
bile to flow freely from the liver, Us that
organ is toned into action, will not over
work and thus dcbilitate it, but will,
when their use is discontinued, leave the
liver strengthened and healthy. Such
remedies are found in DIR. Pierce ; Goldcu

Bridge over Allegheny River nj
Pittsburgh.

WASHINGTON. December lS.-Thc
Secretary of War to-day transmitted to
the House of Representatives., commu-
from the Chiefot Engineers, en-
closing and endorsing the report Of Ma
ior Merrill, of the corps of engineers, REL
ative to the bridge over the Allegheny
river at Pittsburgh, erected by authority
of the State of Pennsylvania Major
Merrill expresses the opinion that tins
bridge is a serious and unnecessary
obstruction to navigation. He thinks,
however that the injunction caused hy 1t
can be rcmedicd by the removal of part
of the bridge and the insertion Ola draw,
which should give two clear openings Of
l2Q feet each. measured on the line or
low water, and should be placed in any
part of the bridge except that covered 10y
the southern span. No rip rap whatever
should be permitted in the draw openings.
Major Merrill therefore recommends that
measures AT once be taken to compel the
owners to make such modification ~ will
hermit safe passage for boats that
usually navigate the Ohio up to Pitts
burgh. and also that II general law be
enacted to positively prohibit the con-
structiou of any bridge over the navigabie
waters OF the United States without
previous approval Of its plans
by the Secretary Of War. In another
communication laid before the HouS" OF
Representatives to-day, the Secretary "i
War transmits and endorses the recon-
mendations of the engineer department.,
that steps pc taken by Congress to re-
ouire all railroad and bridge companies
to remove all Instructions to navigation
on the Ohio river, attention being esle
ciaIlv called to rip-rap thrown around
the piers of the Baltimore and ONO
Railroad bridge at Parkersburg.
