The Report Of the Secretary of the Treasury
for 1869, gave the following sound reasons for
the exemption of United States bonds from
taxation:
There are two reasons, ard each seems to me
70 pc controlling reason why the bonds of the
United States should be exempt from State
and local taxes. II not so exempt, the amount
OF the taxes imposed by the local authorities
will be added to the interest the Government
will be required to pay, and thus the nation
will be compelled to provide for taxes imposed
by the local authorities.
Secondly. Inasmnch as the ability TO bor-
row money may, under some circumstances. be
essential to the preservation of the Govern

peace and prosperity, be qualified by any con-
cession to tho States of the right to tax the

A Healthy b ody and a Clear Head.

Ii Indigestion, constipation and biliousness torment
the body, the head cannot be clear. These disorders
react upon the brain most hurtfully, and produce
cloudness in the organ of thought not experienced

maiades may be entirely dispelled by that peerless

cheers, refresbes and invigorates the brain and
nerves. while it regulates the organs OF Digestion as
s,mIallon and bilious secretion. 1t expes the NOR
pa humers which poison the system through the
bowels and urinary passages, and exerts powerful
~ lnygorang influence well. Its cathartc action
is never irritating, violent or painful, but even,
natural s1ao and progressive. As an appetizer and

gates the infrmities of age, relieves the ailments
