"Know Thy Opportunity"

The grim monster, Death was stealthily
approaching, could almost feel his hot,
fiery breath upon my forehead. My faith
less goddess, Hygeia, had utterly deserted
me. Only now and then would Morpheus
befriend me, but on this auspicious day, he
had deigned to moisten my eyelids with
heavenly ambrosia and slept. As | slept,
behold, had dream ] thought that
was roaming upon foreign soil whittier my
physician had sent me to recover my health.
| was in great metropolis-one of the grand
marts of the world. In one of my strolls
CHANGED to meet a man who had in his hand
handsomely-bo volume, entitled, ''The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser"
and who said that he was an agent for the
sale of the book. The title was such
a novel one that | was impelled to give
the work q casual notice. AS | hastily
glanced over its pages, | observed
that it contained treatses not commonly
found in medical works. But | had too ma
ny times been hoaxed by appearances and
determined that would have nothing to do
with it. A voice within me like faithful
mentor, whispered, "kho'C thy opportuRiy;
in that book is thy salvation ~ | began rea-
soning with myself Although doubtful
and distrustful, yet put forth my hand to
take the book, and; lol the agent was gonel
Great drops of perspiration were upon my
brow. BY my bedside was friend who had
called during my slumber to see me. Said
my friend, 81 have brought with me book
just published, which | thought might in
terest yoU." One glance at the work, and /
was assured that it was "The Peoples Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser" by DR.. R.V.
Pierce of Buffalo, n. Y. Surely, this was the
veritable book whichIhad seen in my dreams.
My friend loaned me the work, and every
day, as my strength permitted, | perused its
pages. Although it contained very interes
ting treatises on Biology, Cerebral Physiology
Human Temperaments, Nursing Of the Sick,
etc, yet being an invalid Twas most inter-
ested in the subject of Diseases and Rene
dies. believed that | had liver affection,
and yet more than one medical attendant
had pronounced my disease Consumption,
and thatIwould fall with the autumn leaves.
In that book found my symptoms perfectly
portrayed. | was then confident that | had
not deceived myself I reasoned thus "Any
man who can so truthfully depict my feeling
and apparently understands my constitutio-
nal tendencies, must know just Whatmy ply
sicial system demands. ! will trust my case
with DR.. Pierce. | will take his Golden
Medical Discovery as recommended for my
disease" The result is, that after having
perscveringy followed his prescribed treat
ment, | once again enjoy the blessings of
health. Therefore, | would say to the
afflicted, "Know thy opportunity" and
take DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

TIE STATE CAPITOL.
HARRISBURG, Feb. lG, 187G

HARRISBURG, GcD' lOi loiO'
The momentous political questions At
issue has called home all of our Lawmakers
to the elections which came off yesterday.
For the representatives from Philadelphia
to sit quietly in their seats and transact
business while the Spring elections are trans
piring would be next to an impossbility.
Last year they were not able to infuse
sufficient degree of patriotism into the
minds of their fellow representatives from
the country districts to effect an adjourn
ment on this occasion, this year however,
whether fear of constituency on the part Of
country delegates was less mocked or argu
ments brought to bear upon them more
powerful an adjournment from Friday last
until tonight was accomplished and every
representative avaiing himself of the oppor-
tunity to visit his home, the Legislature
chambers for the past three days have been
like some banquet hall deserted vacancy
being relieved only by the periodic presence
of some sleepy officer or disconsolate reporter.
For the session tonight there is a show for
slim attendance in both houses though some
action on the county salary bill is antici-
pated.
The loose manner in which the tax bill
reported by the House committee on Ways
and Means, ,on Friday, is framed excites con-
siderable comment. Great expectations of
this bill were entertained, which its debut
has sadly disappointed 1t modifies and re-
reviscs all the tax laws in existence in this
State, but in such mixed up manner as to
be almost unintelligible. 1t will require a
careful remodelling before it becomes law,
or our system of taxation will be much more
complicated in the future than it has been
in the past. Beside the bill above mentioned
several other tax bills are pending which
must be incorporated in it, or in some other
manner disposed of.
In the general appropriation bill of 1871
an appropriation was made by the State for
the purpose of removing and burying in q
more suitable manner and place the Con-
federate dead buried on the field of Gettys-
burg and at different points through Adams
and Franklin counties. DIR. Fahnestolk of
Gettysburg was appointed by Gov. Geary as
trustee of this fund for some unknown
reason no action was ever taken in the mat
ter nor the money lifted from the State
Treasury. Last wcel, Major Harry Kyd
Douglass of HagerstowI Maryland, an en-
Confederate officer and member of Stone
wall Jackson staff appeared before the House
appropriation committee in reference to this
