B'GAILS ROUGHLY HANDLED

OUR VOORHEES TAKES HIM TO TASK The .MwliaTtker1 Cowardly Attack on letil Soldier Receives Due Attention Hyuniu Declare for the Mill Tariff Uill iu a Strong Speech. Washington, April 5. Tho house bill th ing to tlio city of Grand Forks, lok., the right to huiM two free brklpes across the Hod river of the 2vorth, was passed Uli an anienilmcnt. Mr. Mitchell offered a resolution, m liioli was adopted, culling; on the teercr.ry oi the treasury for copies of the renrts of special Agents Becher and Tingle as to aUesjed sr.inrgliug of opium frnm British Columbia. The motion to refer the president's message was taken up, and Mr. Voorhees proceeded to address the senate thereon, lie said that au estrtisivc discussion of the tariff in the senate and house left no doubt as to the attitude of the republican party on the questfon, and it had at last been forced to throw away iua.sk s and false-faces and to admit that taxation was not to stop at the revenue line of the government, but was to be turned loose, without limit and without shame, ou the ' labor of the people, for the so!e purpose of enriching a . favored few a syndicate of devouring, insatiate monopolists. The republican party leaders, driven by madness to suicide and hari-kari, were going before the American people, opposing every reduction of taxes except those paid by tobacco and alcoholic spirits. He did not intend that that fcsue should be dodged in the coming political campaign, at least in Indiana. The position of the republican party might be described thus: (1) Taxation not to be limited by the expenses of the government, with a view to the protection of manufacturing monopolists. (2) All the protection given and all its profits to inure to the further enrichment of capitalists, but not a dollar of it to the laboring men and women. (;) That if any reduction of taxes was to take place, it must be on alcoholic liquor and tobacco and not on the prime necessaries of life. Passing to the charges that the democrats in congress have been hostile to the Union soldiers in the matter of pensions, he contrasted the records of both parties in that matter, and claimed that the republicans had made a mean and parsimonious record toward the soldiers, and that rank and bitter injustice had !ecn done them by provisions of law under republican sway, while the democrats in congress and the executive offices had been liberal in the extremes sense. Referring to the attack made in the senate upon the memory of McCIellan and 1 Iancock he said the presiding officer of the senate, holding the highest official position now held by a republican, had descended to the floor and attacked tho memory of American heroes, who were sleeping w here flowers and tears were annually co-mingled on memorial day, reding froru their glorious lives in the quiet bivouac of the dead. The pious task of niakjng response had been appropriately pe rformed by one whose own conspicuous daring in arms had given him the generous right of chivalry to sjieak in their praise. It was true that not even the eloquent tongue of Blackburn could reach MeOellan or Hancock with assurances of their country's devotion and love. Can honor's voire provoke the itent dust, Or flattery soothe the dull, cold ear of death? Xo, but the voice of the senator from Kentucky, on that occasion, had been an honor to American manhood and to American soldiery. There were supprestions, however, inspired by the wanton and astounding assault of the senator from Kansas which would speedily pass from the public mind. That senator, a recover izM leader of his party, had Storni In his place in the senate and denounced two great Union generals its traitorsto their countrv, allies of the Confederacy, and no word of dissent or rebuke had been uttered by a single associate in either house. Democrats had waited, and some had wondered, but the silent acquiescence in the horrible charges remained unbroken. Mr. Voorhees proceed to draw a vivid picture of events during the war, beginning with the scenes in Washington on the nisrht of the first battle of Bull Bun, w hen the wearied gallop of the courier could be heard as he came over the long bridge and reached the war department with dispatches of disaster from the front. In that hour of national extremity McCIellan had been called by a despairing official authority to r .erform "a task greater far than was ever jK-rfornied by Alexunder, Hannibal, Cirsaror Napoleon in the same length of .time. Then he recalled (after the sect. nd disastrous battle of Manassas) McCIellan riding out to meet the retreating troops and being greeted with rlieers more thrilling and 'pathetic than those which greeted Napoleon on his return from Elba. Then came the battle of 'Antietam, a victory uu pa railed in war, considering all the conditions. The immediate peril being gone and a sense of security being felt, McCIellan had been arrain stricken by partisan malice and had closed his lofty military career forever. . An e:is;lc towering in his pride of place. Was by a mousing owl hacked at and killed. And to this day clamorous kites and crows and other ignoble scavenger birds sought to tear and mutilate McClellan's august fame. Yes, McCIellan, he paid, was a democrat and was removed fiom command on the 7th of November, 1S)2. He could with uplifted hand have sworn that he had saved tho republic, as did Cicero in the forum at Home. Among the highest. tin: most fortunate and iiiot difttitiir'iishod characters prodiiced by the war where, he asked, could a name be found cleaner, purer, freer from eelf-secking, or more lvoted to a ul lime sense of duty than that of Mct li liati? "A iter life's fitful fever lie sleeps ac'.I." not disturbed by the partisan dec'a:..ns of jndire advocates, provost nurrh.ils. r jeevi:h politicians. Mr. Vtoriu-es change. I the scene to .. t:ybnu?, where, he sai I, the last hope i 'the Vor.lhern confederacy disapjeared i' .vever. What invisible spirit of the air, i f .iskrd, intent nj-or, evil to the senator iin:n Ksnsas, could have been ir. attendant on him when hestcod up and opened his mouth in the senate thamlxr on the Uli of March. McCIellan and Hancock v ere the heroes of the two m.t consequential battle of the war, Antiete.m and i Lttvsburg, the loss of either of which wo!tfd have brought European recognition to the Confederacy, and darkness and dismay, if not linal dissolution. They bad commanded in. the oniy battles fought north of the Potomac, and each time had n-t the enemy as tin invading force, strong, confident and flushed with recent victories. Autietam ami Gettysburg had involved tho jKjssession of the capital i'jid the perpetuity of the government and to McCIellan and Hancock (now stigmatized as allies of the Confvderaey) had )een committed the measureless and av.ful trust of defending, and preserving them both. If asked hereafter where were the great leaders of the democratic paity during the war, (where tho democratic candidate oi ISod for the presidency, and the democratic candidate of lKSOtorthe presidency), the undulated slopes of An tief am and the crested heights of üettyslurj would be jointed to. He knew

them both and he bowed to their shades. They were of loftier mould than (.reek or Kornau history supplied. The "Warrior ranks of AHiaia" furnished not their peers, not "The Jo Idea locked Achilles, nor the wide ruling King Agamcnon." And yet, he said, such were the gre;R soldiers w ho were mocked, scoUed and denounced as belonging to the subservient elements of the North and who were accused of treason by those who were of the breed ot Job's war horse and who (like him) "snuffed the battle afnr off." eaving the subject Mr. Voorhees passed to what he called the campaiim of political animosity, declared azainst the people or the South, their rL'hK their security and their good name." The especial äuger of republican leaders, he said, was excited because the. vote of the South in a national eonlest is solid against their party. Would some one on the other side of the chamber tell hint how the vote of the So i fth could be other than it was? Therepublicun party had once had supremacy from the J'otomactothe Bio Grande. It had elected republican governor?, stale officers and legislators in every Southern state. It had had the purse with which to corrupt, the sword with w hich to intimidate and the republican eongress and. president to enact and enforce all laws necessary for the overthrow of individual and state rights and for the consolidation of its power. It had seized upon the enfranchised negro and sought to organize and hurl him against the peace and security of political and social order, and for a time and in many instances it had succeeded. The republican party and its allies (allies, not of the Confederacy, but allies for power and plunder) had swept upon the helpless South like Hyder Ali upon the Carnatic and had left scarcely a vestige from which to hope and with which to rebuild except its never failing soil and its staunch and splendid manhood. It had despoiled the Southern states of their resources and dismantled them of their credit. It had ordered investigations and sent committees and commissions composed of the bitterest partisans into the South for the purpose of scraping together ami putting in permanent form the perjuries of vagabonds and scoundrels with which to defame and blacken the reputation of the Southern people. It would have overturned the state government of South Carolina in l!S7t. and aain sacked the substance and credit of the state had it not been that a criant stood.in its way, upheld by the public judgment of the world. The career of the republican party during its ascendancy in the South had been a. career of crime. It had reared and left behind it no monument of patriotism, wisdom or benevolence to tell future ages that its presence had been a blessing and not a curse. When the future historian came to inquire why and how, and exac tly what, the republican party had lost its tremendous hold of the prostrate South, and had slunk away to return no more forever, he would be puzzled to lind an answe.r, and would finally write that its administration through all that region had become so vat ami intolerable a scandal, filling the civilized world with its foul odors, that an intelligent and omnipotent public had demanded its downfall and the restoration ot home rule and decent government. And yet it was that partv whose leaders now ftiiucd and threatened the Southern jH ople andsttesbecaiisetheydid not welcome it back into power, with all its unhallowed memories and its predacious instincts jind habits. As well might a frontier settlement be expected to welcome with joy a second invasion of tomahawks andsealping-knives. Mr. Voorhees proceeded to speak of the recent great development in the South, and said she was simply rising to her manifest destiny. He recited the achievements of the democratic party, and asserted that but for the attitude and inHuence of Horatio Seymour, Thomas A. Hendricks, Allen (J. Th firman, William A. Bichardson, and their jxilitical associates and followers during the war, not only would the union never have been restored, but the dearest and most sacred rights of American citizenship would have been swept away in the blinding storm of partisan wrath, which was most frequently mistaken for patriotic zeal. He concluded by saying that the verdict of the American jn'ople in November would be that there had been honest.eapable government, and that it should be continued. At the conclusion of Mr. Voorhees' sjccch, which was delivered with great jMwer and effect, and was listened to with interest and attention on both sides of the chamlx-r, he was congratulated upon it by many of his democratic associates. The matter then went over. On motion of Mr. Frye the "onferer.ee rejort on the joint resolution for a conference of the American nations was nonconcurred in, and a new conference Mas ordered. The animal industry bill was laid aside, and the bill to forfeit unearned land grants was taken up, but went over without action and the senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The Tariff Bill Occupies (lie Floor Byiuuii mid ISrovt n Speak. The house went into committee of. the whole on the tariff bill, and the floor was taken by Mr. liynum, (Ind.), who opened by saying that no people in the enjoyment of full political iower will long submit to a system of taxation which impoverishes one class of industry for the enrichment of another. Passing on to the surplus, lie said that by July 1 next there would be in the treasury $MO,Ono,(00 more than is necessary to pay the expenses of the government. The withdrawal of this large sum of money from the channels of trade for any period of time will excite the apprehensions of the people and result in a contraction of values and of credits that will swaliow up iu bankruptcy our most active and energetic men. " To apologize for this condition of affairs is a mockery, to defend it is a crime. We cannot longer escape the responsibility which rests upon us without arousing the indignation of an oppressed people. The time, he s'aid; has come when this house must consider a bill to reduce the taxation"; the issue must be squarely met and the tariff reformed. The present bill did nt meet his unqualified approval, for, it left to his own will, he would retain the present.int.-rnal system of taxation until the last obligation of the late war was paid. He believed that ordinary expenses should be met by import duties, extraordinary by internal taxation. Vassing by toe consideration of the present law, he said he was willing to stand before his constituents of all classes nnd answer for his views on this question. As to the assertion that reduction of duties would cause a reduction of wages, he said no greater fallacy was ever asserted. Iabor does not receive all or any great portion of the protection given "by the present law. The protection upon cotton goods runs from 42.'.i) cr cent, to 7o.31 per cent., and yet the labor cost in these manufactures only runs from 1J.Ö7 per cent, to 07 per cent. The protection on woolen good inns fron per cent, to :'..'.) per ctnt., and vet the labor cost in these manufactures only runs from lb:',i per cent, to .'J1.2Ö per cent. "Wages neither rise above nor fall below the standard. The standard is not fixed by the manufacturers in projortion to the rate of duties imposed, but is fixed by the prices paid in all the avocations and by the opportunities in inde-jH-ndcnt pursuits. The only effect of a duty upon import?, so far as wages are involved, If rv ', it enables tho manufac

turer to pay the standard of wages already existing. A duty that adds to the cost of an article more than the difference in tho cost of labor enables a manufacturer to increase the price above that limit, which the laborer in return, as consumer, is compiled to pay, and thus is robbed. The tendency of wages since ISoO has been upward, it is true, but it has been equally so in free trade England. Resides, labor's wages arc fixed by competition ; if in great demand wages are high, if not, low, and an import tax of any kind would have no material effect upon" the rate. Mr. By n um tuen turned to the statements that the country had crown rich under protection. True, he said, hut where is the wealth? In the hands of the few. During the past twenty-live years we have increased our productive power by the acquisition of population and the invention of laborsaving machinery: yet while our laborers are able to produce, in many lines, more than we can consume, we have been constructing a wall around our coast which, year by year, month by month and day by day, restricts more closely their market within our own boundaries. As our surplus increased our market has decreased. We have had for some yeai'S what we have denominated overproduction, a surplus of labor; and we are also told we are suffering from under-con-sumption. That is true. Our markets being circumscribed, operatives are necessarily throw n out of work, and then they are compelled to live upou the smallest amount possible. And this is the result of protection. The Hon. Thomas H. Dudley of Camden, N. J., late U. S. consul at Liverpool, and a protectionist, in an article addressed to Mr. Mongredieu of Innlon, said: "If you will go into your hardware stores you w ill see displayed for sale, imported from the United State's, axes, edge-tools, forks, etc., superior in quality and finish and cheajer than you can make them." American labor has paid $7 a ton more for its materials, paid transportation across the ocean, paid an interest upon a plant costing 00 cent. more, and yet has made a better article and at lower cost than its British competitor. If American labor can do this, and we have the evidence ot" a protectionist that it has done it, take off this load that you have placed upon its shoulders and give it au equal chance, and it will drive the "pauper" labor of Europe out of the markets of the world. The cry of free trade, said Mr. Bynum, is a false one, raised as a bug-bear to frighten the wage-workers. It is not a question of free trade, but one of whether we shall so adjust our tariff as to take advantage of the changes that have occurred and give our manufacturers and labor a chance to enter the markets of the world. Our present law not onlv excludes us

from these markets, but it cripples our t ability to even supply the home market, about w hich gentlemen are so much concerned. I.ast yearwe exported over "210,(iXtyxX) worth of cotton, which was worked up by European labor. Over one hundred and fifty millions of this went to the I'nited Kingdom and was converted into manufactures aggregating 20,000,00, an increase in value of $130,CHX000. With equal oport unities for trade and exchange we ought to have manufactured and exported a jortion of this product, as it is an admitted fact that in the manufacture of the coarser cotton poods, such as new countries consume, we can compete with any nation. We have not only Wen supplying (ireat Britain with cotton to work up and sell to other government", but have been furnishing her industries the materials with which to manufacture a considerable amount for our own consumption. Last year we imported cotton goods to the value of SiiS.U-tO.n.Vl, while we exported to the value of only Slö,tHKl,O;0, leaving our imports in excess of our exports to the extent of SbvUU'j, thus showing that while some of our cotton mills were idle or running on short time, with many op-erativesi-ut of work, we paid to foreign manufacturers over :?lo,000,000 for cotton goods. We not only deprived American labor of the oportunity and ability to manufacture this amount of goods, but we taxed the eople by way of duties upon their purchases SI 1 j710,t 11, to add to the surplus in the treasury. We also imported duringthesame period woolen goods to the value of S44,WLYJ78, while we exjortcd only 813,777 worth, clearly showing that while our woolen mills "were closed, while their operatives w ere out of work, we purchased from other countries over 44,000,000 worth of woolen goods. We not oidv, bv our so-called system of protection, deprived American labor of the opjKrtunity to make this amount of goods, but, to add to their misfortune, we extorted from the eople by way of taxation upon whatthey were compelled to purchase abroad S",279,717, to go into the surplus in the treasury. These sums are the actual amounts paid out upon imputations and do not embrace in the slightest degree the amount we were compelled to pay by way of increased cost upon the home "product. We therefore lat vear deprived American operatives of the Tabor required to manufacture over S")7,(K 0.00O worth of cotton and woolen goods and taxed the people over $40,UtHt.OOO for the loss. Mr. Bynum then quoted statistics showing that this state of ati'airs has been constantly growing worse for the past twentvlive years. As a more striking example he quoted figures in relation to the production, exports and imports of coffee. In 1S77 the production was 42,!00,000 pounds, exj.orts less imports 1 l.oSO.Tlio. The price to manufacturers was LSAc per pound, and to exporters 17Ac. In ISM the production was 70,:W0"(00 pounds, the exorts less imports G,;00,Gö3 pounds. Price to manufacturers 18jc, and to exporters 1 löte. Ami, he said, we have, during the last five years, exported over S12.000.000 worth of copper over and above our im ports, and vet during all this time we have had a duty ot from L'A cents a pound upon copper ores to 4 cents upon plates anu bars. What has been the effect of this duty? In the first place, it has almost extinguished our trade with Chili, where we ued to sell large quantities of our manufactures. In the second it has, by fostering higher prices in this than in other countries, prohibited, great industries from springing up and flourishing. It has, however, been of incalculable benefit to the owners of the Calumet cv, Heela mines, who, upiln a capital of JlV'rfXl.fXX), bad paid dividends since 1S70 to the extent of over ?.U),iJÜ0,0(H.. Are workiugmen to be longer deceived by this i hvpocritical cry of protection to American labor? Mr. Bynum then turned his attention to the farmers ami their burdens under the protective tariff, and in a long argument proceeded to refute the assertions that protection was better for that class. Wo have, he said, increased fourfold the quanity of manufactures per inhabitant, while we have nearly doubled the ratio of agricultural products. Upon one tide our manufactories have increased in number and capacity until we are unable to consume their goods and wares, and upon the other our farmers have, by the improvements in machinery and in farming, increased the quantity of their products until we are able to export annually from live to seven hundred millions of dollars' worth. In this condition, with a surplus of manufactures and a surplus of agricultural products, the manufacturers say to the farmers, give us higher protection and we will increase the number of our mills and the number of employes till we arc able to consume all your products! Now, when they make such a proposition will they please tell us w here and to whom they expect to sell their manufactures, rK'cavsü if U'cy Lac no market they e;m

not emplov operatives, and if the operatives have'no work they cannot consume to anv largo extent. Thus, in the face of the fäct that we already have a surplus in many lines of manufacture, it is proposed to increase the number of mills and the number of operatives more than fivefold. Was ever anything more absurd than this home-market theory for our agricultural products? As to the wool question, that explained itself on its face. Under protection tlie price of wool has steadily fallen. li't this decline was scarcely to be attributed to protection. It was simply becatise wool can now be raised much fitiier than in former time. Intact the wool is somewhat of a side issue, the racat being the principal object. The I'nited States, with twenty year of protection, has about fourteen It. H.d of sheep to the square mile, while ierlnany, with tree wool, has ninety-two head; V ranee, with fixe woo!, 100 head, and the L'jiited Kingdom, with free wool, 2-3Ö head to the square mile. The number of sheep in the I'nited Kingdom is 8 per cent, of the population, in France 58 per cent., and in the United States 7.5 per cent. Why this equality in the number of sheep as eonipared to population, and great inequality as to area of territory 1' It must be that it requires about this proportion to rai.se the i.mt'on consumed by the inhabitants. In 1SS4 we had, in round numbers', 50,OuyxiO fclieep; hut in 1SS7 this minder was reduced to 14,000,000, not hccaue there was no demand for wool we imported laie quantities of wool and even shoddy during tnee years but because v. c had surpassed the number required to raise the mutton consumed by us. In lNsö v e exported over r b:df million head, not to produce wool, but for slaughter. We consume annually (W),üW),oijo pounds of wool; this, at 40 cents. Would cot $J 10,0" 0,000. VVe can, purchase foreign wools, and pay for them in the products of labor, for one-h:lf this sum. Now, whv make the peoule of the 1'iiifed States pay .10.),(ioO,(A0 more for their wool in order to have it nil produced at home? Protectionists say, to build up home industries and employ home labor! Ihit this is just what we are not doing by this policy. We have seen how we have injured our cotton mills, our woolen mills, and all of our industries manufacturing implements and machinery. In countries where the profit is in raising mutton the demand for mutton will control and regulate the number of sheep, nnd by no ys-U-in of protection can the number of sheep be increased above that point. la countries where wool can be grown at comparatively little cost, and the proiit to the shepherd is not in slaughtering but in shearing his sheep, there the wool will he grown to clotlie the people in the colder climates; and to exclude the same from our shores i not only destruction to our woolen mills, but it is a serious blow to every other industry and to every individual throughout the whole country, and to none is it more detrimental than to that great body of our people who live hy their hands. Mr. bynum then referred to the condition of our woolen manufactories struirjling for existence an unequal struggle, for the high tarift is throttling them. Wool must be placed on the free list, or they will have to succumb. In concluding, Mr. Bynum paid his respects to the pools and trusts, and declared the argument that we should increase duties in order to increase home industries and become indepenent of other nations was no longer of weight, for, while the time probably has not arrived w hen all strife between nations shall cease; "when swords shall be beaten into plowshares and spears into pruning-hooks,' yet we have reached that period in the world's history and in the progress of the human race when it is no longer necessary to keep sentinels upon the wateh-tower to awaken the sleeping inhabitants to defend the city against an armed foe bent upon rapine and plunder.

GOT HER WIDOW'S SHARE. And Insane Spiritually Succeed In Having a Divorce Set Aside. Chicago, April Mrs. Sarah, Y.. Ilromwell was assisted by the spirits to-day? and she was very successful. She sat iu Judsje Collins' court and heard that official proclaim her victorious over her enemies, and tears actually flowed dow n her cheek? . The court set aside the decree of divorce from the lato Henry H. Ihomwcll obtained by her six years ao, and jrave her a clear title to th widow's award in an estate of over JkWiTK). The story w very peculiar one. Mr. and Mr. Bromwell were married on April 1'., 1S71. Mr. Promwell was for several years after the marriage, a prominent State-st. merchant; he conducted a fur store. They wen? quite well olfand lived in eleeaut style until is 79. Mrs. Uromwcll had taken too great an interest in spiritualism and became demented. On April 17, 175, her husband filed a petition urjin;; that she was insane, and after a proper liearini? a judgment of insanity was secured nnd Mrs. Promwell was taken to Uatavia. lironiwell then beean to "enjoy life." After bein? at Batavia a few weeks Mrs. Bromwell's condition improved, and she. returned to Chicat'O. She bad heard of Iter husband's eonduct and refused to return to him unless he would reform. Thh he would not do, but contributed to her support. In September, 10, she was prevailed upon to fde a bdl for separate maintenance, ind afterward one tor divorce ou the ground of adultery. The divorce was prantfd, and a small alimony allowed bj' Judge Jameson, who had not been informed of Mrs. Iiromwell's insanity. On May LM, 1nm, Mr. Brotnwell died, leaving only ."0,iiou of his previous larje fortune, and the" next month Alexander ltishop wasapointed administrator. Over a year nzo Mrs. P,rowmvell tiled her bill against IJishop to have the decree of divorce set aside, on the Grounds that it was obtained bv fraud, and that she was of unsound mind. The decree of insanity was set aside and the court decided that tho decree of dhoree was invalid, owing to the legal incapacity of the complainant during the pendency of the proceedings, and Mis. Promweil will now be entitled to a claim dowtT in the e.date of her deceased husband. A COOL SCHOOLM ARM. She Successfully Hold ft Mad Do; at Uay Orateful I'nrentS. ..

This Is the generic designation of the white race lps,towed by our copper-colored brother, the "noble favae." The Caucasian, though many shades lighter, is not ncesarily pallid. But when his entitle has the parchment-colored tint, and hi? cheeks the hollowness indicative of a want of bodily stamina, he well deserves the appellation of "pale lace."

Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass., a gentleman fifty years of age, was fast losing his hair, and what remained was growing gray. After trying various dressings with no effect, he comineuceil the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor. "It stopped the falling out," he writes ; "and, to iny great surprise, converted my white Lair fwith-.-ut staihiug iha scalp) to the samt shade of browA it had when I wis 25 years of age." Ten Years Younger. Mrs. Marr Montgomery, of Boston, writes: "For yer.r, I was compelled to wear a dress cap to conceal a bald spot ou the crown of my head ; but now I gladly lay tho cap a3ide, for your Hair Vigor is bringing out a new growth. I could hardly trust my flenses when I lirst found my hair growing ; but there Ii is7and I am delighted. 1 look ten years younger," '' ' ' A similar result attended tho use of Ayer's Hair Vigor by Mrs. O. O. Frescott, of Charlestown, Mass., Miss Bessio II. Hedloc, of Burlington, Vt., Mrs. J.J. Burton, of Bangor, Me., and numerous others. The loss of hair may be owing to impurity of the blood or derangement of tho stomach and liver, In which case, a course of Ayer's Sarsaparllla or of Ayer's Pills, in connection with the Vigor, may be necessary to give health and tone to all tho functions of the body. At the name time, it cannot be too 'strongly urged that none of these remedies can do much good without a persevering trial and strict attention to cleanly and temperate habits.
