weight to this view of the question at first,
but, on reflection, it will be remembered that
there still remains four millions of dollars of
authorized bank note circulation, assigned to
States having less than their quota, not yet
taken. In addition to this, the States having
less than theirauota of bank circulation have
the option of twenty-five millions more, to be

A WRONG CUSTOM CoRREcrED.-It is
quite generally the custom to take strong liver
stimulauts for the cure of liver complaint,
aud bath the mineral and vegetable Kingdoms
have been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous purgatives, in
order to produce powerful effect upon the
liver, and the tagging and enteebled
organ. This system of treatment is on The
saWc FFIuCtpiS as tH"C OF giving weak ana
dehilta;ed man large potions of brandy to
enable him TO do certain amount of work
When the stimulent is withheld, the organ
like the system, gradually, relapses Into
more torpid sluggish and weakened con-
dition than before. What then is wanted
Medicines, that, while they cause the bile to
flow freely from the liver, as that organ is
toned into action, will not Overw0rk and thus
debiitate it, hut WILL when their use is dis
continued, leave the liver strengthened aud
healthy.
