FEBRUARY 19.-House-The House met
for general debate, as in committee of the
whole, Mr.. Eden in the chair. The attend
ance was unusually large for debate day.
The first speech was by Mr.. C~hittenden, in
favor of a special currency. Mr.. Chitten-
denis speech was somewhat long, and upon
its conclusion Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
made his speech. Other speeches were
made, by Mr.. Pierce, of Massachusetts,, on
the Presidential term of Office, in favor of
six years and immediate ineligibility, and
by Mr.. Townsend, of Pennsylvania, in favor
of resumption of specie payments. The
House then adjourned.

ditional instructors, 81, 500 for q clerk to the
Adjutant, and the same for a Treasurer's
clerk. 1t also restores the $4,000 for the
Academy Band, but omits the appropriation
for a company of musicians. The bill as re-
ported appropriates $4,000 more than pro-
yided by the House. The concurrent reso-
luton of the House, making February
Twenty-Second a legal holiday, was passed.
The bill extending the time allowed the

DIR. PIERcE's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are SO compounded from concentrated prin-
ciples, extracted from roots and herbs, as to
combine in each small granule, scarcely
larger than a mustard seed, as much cathartic
power as is contained in any larger pills for
sale in drug-stores. They are not only pleas
ant to take, but their operation is easy
unattended with any gripping pain. They
operate without producing any constitu-
tional disturbance. Unlike other cathartics
they do not render the bowels costive after
operation, but, On the contrary, they estab-
lish a permanently healthy action. Being
entirely vegetable, no particular care is re-
quired while using them.
Five hundred dollars reacdrd is offered by

,cnencE,. standard RemeaIs,


The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENcK's PULMosIC SYRUP, ScHEScK's SEA
WEED Tonic, and ScHENcK's MANDRAKE Pills, and,
If taken before the lungs are destroyed. q speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment t of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the merbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by an easy expecto-
ration. for when the phlegm or matter is ripea slight
cough will throw it of, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the lmonic Syrup to do this, Sehenck's
Mandrake Pills and schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, remov-
ing all distractions. relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and alternative; the alkali of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists
the digestion by toning up the. stomach to q healthy
condition, SO that the food and the ulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well If care is taken to pre-
vent q fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. schenck. either per-
sonally or by letter, can do SO at his principal office,
corner Of Sixth and ARCH STREETS, Philadelphia,
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold By an druggists
throughout the country.

DIR, TU-sBE says: at is unnecessary for
me to enumerate the diseases for which the
Vegetine should be used. / know of no
disease which will not admit of its use, with
good results. Almost innumerable com.
plants are caused by poisonous secretionsin
the blood, which can be entirely expelled
from the system by the use of the Vegetine.
When the blood is perfectly cleansed, the
disease rapidly yields. All pains cease
healthy action is promptly restored, and the
patient is cured"

UsefuI Information.

By abstaining from drink and liquid
food of any kind for as long a period as
possible, the internal congestion-which
is, in fact, the condition generally known
as ga cold"-becomes reduced. The
cause of congestion is the excess of blood
contained in the overcharged men,
branes, and this is removed when the
general bulk of blood has been dimin-
ished by Withholding the usual supply of
fluid by keeping the supply ofdrink for
a day or two down to a point at which
some degree of thirst is yet experienced,
a complete cure may be effected.

KIDNEY COMPLAINT.

Probably there is no complaint that a fiicts the hu.
man system, which is so little understood at the
present time, as some of the varied forms Of kidney
Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such acute pain OF
more alarming in its results than when the kidneys
fail to secrete rom the blood the uric acid, and otter
poisonous substances, which the blood accumulates
In its circulation through the system.
If from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the
functions detolying uron them, the FOUNDATIONS are
taken up by me absorbents and the whole system
thrown into a state of disease, causing great rain
ani suffering, and very. often Immediate death,
Hence the import nee OF keeping tue kidneys and
blood in a healthy condition., through which ali the
impurities of the blood must pass.

DR.. Tyndall on Spontaneous Genera
ton.

DR.. Tyndall recently read a paper be-
fore the Royal Society, Son the Optical
Department of the Atmosphere with Ref
erence to the Phenomena of Putrefac-
ton or Infection and surprised and
gratified his hearers by communicating
much more than was conveyed by his
title. For he showed by brilliant exper-
iments, that spontaneous generation is an
absolute impossibility, and that ifsolu-
tions open to the air soon swarm with
life, it is because they have been impreg-
mated by living particles floating in the
air. 1t has long been known hat air
which has been thoroughly freed from
floating particles by fire, the action of
acids, or otherwise, will not produce life;
and further proof was given by DR.. Tyn-
dalPs researches in 1868 and 1869, with
the additional facts that filtering through
cottonwood clears the air as effectuaIly
as fire, and that air thus purified will not
transmit light. A glass chamber filled
with the purified air remains dark, even
when placed in the track of a con-
centrated beam of light. There is moth
ing to reflect or scatter the light; and
it may now be accepted as an axiom that
air which has lest its power of scattering
light has also lost its power of producing
life.
Hospital surgeons have been for some
time aware of the fact that air which
has passed through the lungs will not
cause putrefaction. 1t has been filtered,
and may be allowed to enter the veins
without hurtful consequences.
The bearing of all this on the question
of spontaneous generation is obvious.
Pasteur has pronounced the spontaneity
to be a chimera, and that, this being the
case, it should be possible to Danish par
asitic or contagious diseases from the face
of the earth and from this point of view
it is easy to see that the subject has a
wide bearing on the phenomena of putre-
faction.
DR.. Tyndall now finds that air can be
rendered OFFICIALLY pure by merely leav-
ing it undisturbed three or four days in
a close chamber. All the floating mat
ter subsidies, and the confined air will
not transmit light. Solutions placed
therein,wil remain unaltered, though
left for months, while similar solutions
open to the ordinary air swarm with bac-
terra in twenty-four hours or two days.

often complied with, and, whatever the
