Unlimited Remedial Resources

People sometimes suppose that DR.. PierCe's Fami-
ly Medicines represent the entire extent of his
sources for curing disease. This is Expe-
rience proved that while the Golden Medical Discov
cry Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets, Compound Extract of Smart-Weed, and DIR.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, would if faithfully used,
cure large variety of chronic complaints, there
would be here and there which, from its sever
ity, or from its complication with other disorders,
would resist their action, These exceptional cases
required thorough examination into their symp-
TOMS to ascertain the exact nature and extent of the
disease diseases under which the patient labor
ing, and the use of specific remedies to meet and
overcome the This led to the establishment of
the Worlds Dispepsary, at Buffalo, N. Y. with its
Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons, each of whom is
skilled in the treatment of chronic disorders in gen.
erai and those belonging to his special depart
ment in particular To one is assigned diseases of
the throat and ungs to another, diseases of the kid
neys and urogenital organs to another, diseases of
the digestive SYSTEM to another, diseases of tine ner-
system; and to another diseases of the eve and
ear. Thus the highest degree of perfection in medi-
cine and surgery is attained. The establishment Of
this institution enables the Doctor to meet long
felt want in the treatment of the more severe chronic
affections BY careful consideration of fine symD-
toms as gwen IN writing, he successfully treats thou
sands Of cases at their homes Others visit the Dis
pensary In person. The amplest resources for the
treatment OF lingering affections are thus placed at
the disposal OF every patient, and those on whom
the proprietary medicines do have the desired eff
feet can procure more thorou gh and efficient course
by personal application to the proprietor of the
Worlds Dispensary.

MARINE DISASTERS.

Severe Expex fence of Camden Schooner
BOSTON, March 80 The British barque J.
T. Smith, Capt. Hatfield, which arrived at this.
port today from Cienfuegos, brought in the
officers and crew of schooner D. Talbot of Cam
den, Me-, Capt. Amesbury, which was aban-
doned at sea on the passage from Sagua to
Boston.
Captain Amesbury states that he left Saeua
March 16, and for the first three days had fne
weather, but on the 10Th heavy gales set in
which compelled the vessel to scud under double
reefed foresail. At 10 a. m. heavy sea broke
on board, which carried away main boom and
everything attached, sweeping away the house
and skylight gangways, &c, and smashing wa
ter casks, breaking the rudder, and letting a
large quantity of water into the cabin, in the
confusion of which one man had an arm brok-
en-. The vessel came to the wind on the star
board tack but it was found necessary to keep
the pumps constantly going, the waves in the
meantime continuing to break over tie vessel.
At II o'clock, being then in lat. 81 30 long IS,
in the Gulf Stream, shipped heavy sea for
ward which broke off bowsprit at the knight
heads and smashed the boat. AT s p. M, find.
ing the mainmast breaking, it was cut away.
In falling it broke the pumps down, destroying
the lee rail and water ways. The pumps were
put in as good order as possible under the Cir
cumstances, and the crew awaited with fear for
the next stroSe of i'll fortune.
On the 21st, at a. M, the foresail blew
away, which LETT them without any sail. At
the same time it was discovered that the Iudder
was breaking the stern of the vessel, when all
hope of saving the schooner was abandoned.
The crew continued at the pumps as their lives
depended now wholly on their ability to keep
her ahoat until some passing vessel should no.
tice their forlorn condition, and come to the
rescue, the vessel then being in sinking con-
diton. Fortunately at II a. m. sail to the
windward hove in sight, and the schooner dis
playing signal of distress, the stranger bore
down toward them. She proved to be the bark
j. T. Smith, the captain of which Immediately
sent boat alongside and took off all hands at
the peril of their lives, as heavy sea threat
ened momentari.y to engulf them. Captain
Amesbury, his wife and little boy, with a
crew of six men, were all safely transferred to
the bark.

The Suits Against ClaAin Disposed of.
In October, 1875, two suits were brought in
the U. S. Distict Court by the United States
against H. b. Ciafin & Co. to recover 1910, 900
and $560,0O0 for alleged undervaluations of
imported goods and also for the penalties pro-
vided for by the statute of 1866 A demurrer
was fled by the defense to the declarations in
both suits, and the points raised were argued
before Judge Blatchford, who has Just rem
dered decision The Judge sustains the de-
murrer to all the counts on subst intially the
grounds taken by the defendants counsel He
holds that the statute Of 1928 is repealed by
that of 1866, that the decision of the Supreme
Court, apparently contrary to this, is not really
on this question, and that the fines, being at
the discretion of the court cannot be consid-
cred debt which involves the idea of a detin-
lite sum. All the counts of the declarations are
therefore held to be bad. These wers it is be-

cial says Mr.. Ripley of Massachusetts, and
Clerk Handley testified yesterday before the
Naval Committee that an old claim arising out

val contractors in Massachusetts, in 1861, was
pad through the connivance of Isaiah Han
soon, chief naval contractor. He forwarded
Handley all the facilities for manipulating the
claim in Washington. Hanscom made out a

Robson. The amount claimed was $3.50, 900.
The portion belonging to Wheelwright was paid
to one Ripley, about $8000 Handley was paid

fies that Wheelwrght and Tilton both told him
they gave Hanscom $4,000 on account of claims,

POST TRADERSHIPS.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-A letter from Gen.
W.. b. Hazen dated City of Mexico, March Is,
to Mr. Clymer, is printed.
He says the facts relating TO post traderships
were before the House Military Committee in
March, 1872, given in testimony by him. Re
says he has been waiting four years for viudica
ton. His object was to have law passed by
which enlisted men could have articles furnish
ed them at cost through the commissary de-
partmept an arrangement which is carried out
in other armies, and which would save our SOL
diers over 81, 000,00 annually, which now goes
to suffers. Gen. Hazen says law was passed
in 1866 to this effect, but was never carried into
practice, and has even been omitted from the
Revised Statutes.
