CONSUMPTION.
IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL A. THR
MEDICAL PROFESSION.

IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL A. THE
MEDICAL PROFESSION.
Halls Journal Of Health referring to con-
sumption, makes the following important
statement:
Consumption usually begins with slight
dry cough in the morning, then, on going to
bed getting more and more frequent, with
more and more phlegm, increasing debility,
thinness of flesh, shortness of breath, and
quickness of pulse. In fatal cases its aver
age is about two years; hence the import
ance of arresting the disease at as early
stage as possible, and the sooner rational
means are employed for this purpose the
greater the chance of success. The disease
is owing to an irritation commencing in the
throat and extending to the lungs, so that
their action is interfered with, and the blood
does not receive sufficient oxygen to purify
il. The most marked sign OF lung disease Is
emacatiOn; and the most positive indication
Of returning health Is increase in weight
So speaks Halls Journal Of Health, and we
may add that in desperate cases and, in fact
in all cases Of consumption, or troubles Of
the throat and lungs, immediate relief may
be obtained and permanent cure effected
by the use of DR.. VIM. Ilalrs Balsam for the
lungs, medicine known for more than thir-
ty-ive years as an unfailing remedy for
coughs, colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary
and pectoral diseases That the worst cases
of consumption have been cured by the use
Of Halls Balsam has been attested to by the
thousands who have used il, or who have
been cognizant Of its wonderful medical ef-
fcacy. nov. ll-6w

McCue's acknowledgment? and the vote
was unanimous in the affirmative.
Again Mr.. McCue was asked if he had
joined the association referred to in the
minutes of our last stated meeting, that
is, the Masonic body? to which he re-
piled that he had-and that the reasons
were, he viewed it as step that would
open the way and enable him to be more
useful in his Office, especially to that
order of men-and Notwithstanding as
far as he has yet learned or seen of that
institution, he has met with nothing, in
his opinion, immoral: Yet because Join
ing of it had given offence to Christian
brethren he had declined associating
with the Masons as distinct body and
was determined so to do-and that he
will endeavor to avoid every thing that
might give offence to the Church of
Jesus Christ or Christian brethren.
The above acknowledgment, with the
reasons for Mr.. McCue's conduct and his
promises with respect to his future beha-
vior, being heard and considered. The
question was put-Is the Presbytery
satisfied with Mr.. McCue's acknowledge
ment respecting his past conduct and his
professions with respect to his resolutions
for the future? And the members unani-
mously voted in the affirmative.
On motion, Presbytery enjoined on Mr..
McCue and all their members, in every
thing to be careful so to conduct that
they may give no just offence to any of
the members of Christs Church"
We may not agree with the Presby-
terry in the view it took Of the subject
matter, but every one must admire Mr..
McCue's regard for the authority of his
Presbytery and the meekness with which
he received It's censure. S. l.. @.

Virginia Bible Society.

At the meeting of the Board of Managers of
the Virginia Bible Society on Tuesday evening,
June 2Sth, the following statement of missionary
work done during the preceding month was made
by the secretary 2,785 families visited; 836
families found destitute of the Scriptures 267
were supplied, besides 211 destitute individuals
and II Sabbath schools 1317 volumes were
sold, valued at s4O3 80; 370 volumes were do
mated to the destitute poor and to Sabbath schools
valued at S804S; missionaries labored 297 DAYS
and travelled 2,Sl0 miles $292,02 were paid as
salaries, $4389 incidental expenses and freight
they collected from churches and individuals for
the Bible cause $21 .65.
The Society was reported to be greatly in
need of funds to keep the present number of
missionaries at work, and the churches which
have not taken their usual annual collection are
urged to do so at an early day. The Board has
given pledge to raise at least $4,000 during the
year for the Bible cause, on which condition the
American Bible Society has given it the assur-
ance that it will donate to this Board $4,000
worth Of Bibles to enable it to prosecute the can
vass of the State. Now that the Society, through
the almost entirely gratutous services of the
secretary, is conducting its work upon the most
economical plans possible, the friends of the
Bible cause are asked to make liberal gifts to
enable the Society to maintain its integrity and
usefulness

In consequence of information from
the chair that Mr.. McCue has acted much
out of character by singing in public
worship a certain hymn Of very errone-
Gus sentiments; and in joining a certain
association much to his prejudice in the
opinion of people in general and to the
offence Of the church to which he belongs
so far as the reports have circulated,
The Presbytery viewing the reports as
fagrant, ordered the clerk to write to Mr..
McCue and to cite him to attend at our
next stated meeting in order to inform
IPresbytery respecting the truth or false
