The Wabash Courier, Volume 23, Number 12, Terre Haute, Vigo County, 11 November 1854 — Page 3

The Know Nothings are a queer deep water fish, and never rise to the surface without effecting something for the public good. Iii Pennsylvania, Judge Jeremiah Biack, one'of the tirut jurists in the United States, was the Old Line candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court. Molt was also on the same ticket for Canal Commissioner, an office of inore positive patronage than that of Governor. It is well known how the Old Line editors and speakers nbused the Know Nothings. MotC anti Black disavowed any sympathy with them, in publised letters. Yet they being good men, having the three Jeffersonian requisites, "capacity, honesty and industry," the

Kp.ow

Nothings voted for them. Black is sleeted by 25,000 and Mott by about 100,000 majority, and these are the only two on the Old Line State ticket in that State who have been elected. Only four of the 25 members of Congress are Old Liners, and there is a working majority on joint ballot in the State Legislature against th»m. It appears thit such men as Jud/e Bhck and Canal Commissioner Mott have nothing to fear from the Know Nothings."—Madison Courier.

Rare Bir s.—Two

specimens of the

American Ostrich—male and female—were recently killed near Fort des Moines, [owa, and prepared by W. E. Moore for the Fort des Moines Museum. They were described tiy Mr. M. as four and a half feet long, and five feet in height with bills six inches long, titraijfht and very sharp. They resemble in most points the Ostrich of Africa. Mr. Moure has been offered $1,000 for them but refuses to sell. He is about to make a tour on the far west prairie?, hoping to meet with other varieties.—Tribune.

A New Cause for Cjtallekgikg a Juro3.—In the Court of Oyer and Terminer this morning, a gentleman named VVm. Harrison was called as a juror in the case of Chas. Jager, charged with the murder ef Jno. Moran. Mr. Spencer, counsel for the prisoner, after finding out thai the juror was an undertaker, said he should challenge him peremptorily because of his occupation, which was too great familiarity with death. The juror was rejected —.V- Y. Post.

E A IS E E A E PA IN I E Oprincipled

men, we have been obliged to resort to very expensive measures to protect ourselves pecuniarily, and the public Irom great injury, by buying and using their worthless counterfeits. The comparative plain and simple style in which our Pain Killer has been put up, has made it very e»sy tor those disposed, to imitate it very successfully, as far as its external appearance, in style of bottle, label, and color of the article but we need not say that the compound is a miserable filthy production, and calculated to do great injury to those who misht uso it with the confidence that they have been accustomed to use the GENU1NR P.-UN KILLER. Parties whose business it is to counterfeit valuable preparations, do it in such a secret manner, that it is almost useless to attempt to punish them by legal measures, as it is difficult, and we might say impossible, to bring the proof home 10 them.

Considering the great aifficulty in protecting ourselves and the public by pros wo have been to a very great expense in getting up a finely executed

MEDICATED INHALATION.

A Now Mettiod..

MOST wonderful discovery Itns recently been made by Dr. CURTIS, for the cure of Asthma, Consumption, Bronchi lis. Coughs, folds and all Lung Complaints, by Medicated Inhalation. Dr. C'urtis's Hygeana.or Inhaling llygcan Vapor nnd Clu rry Syrup, has accomplished tho most wonderful cures of Asthma ond Consump* lion in the city of New York ond Vicinity for a few months post, ever known to mon. It is producing an impression in Diseases of the Lungs never bo fore witnessed by the Medical Profession [Sec carlilicatcs in hands of Agents.]

The Inhaler is worn on the breast, under tho linen, without tho least inconvenience, the heat of the body being suflicicnt to evaporate the fluid —supplying the lungs constantly with a healing and agreeable vapor, passing into all tho air cells and passages ol the lungs that cannot possibly bo reached by other medicinc.

Here is a case: ASTHMA CURED.

Brooklyn,

N. Y., Dec. 30,1853.

For about eight years I have been severely afHiC' ted with the Asthma for the Inst two years I have suflt'rnd beyond all nty powers of description months nt a time I have not been able to sleep in bed, getting whnt rest I could sitting in my choir. My difficulty of breathing, and my sufferings, were so great at times, that for hours together my friends expected each hour would bo my last. During the past six years I have had the aid nnd attendance of some of tho most celebrated physicians, hut have received no permanent benefit, and but little relief. I nt length had the good fortune to procure Dr. Curtis's Hygeana or Inhaling Hvgean Vapor and Cherry Syrup.— At the time I first obtained it, 1 was suffering under one of my most violent attacks, and was in great distress, ulmost suffoca'ing for want of breath. In less than ten minutes ftom the time 1 applied the Inhaler to my stomach, and took a teaspoonful of the Cherry Syrup, I wns relieved in a great measure from the difficulty ol breathing and nad a comfortable night. 1 have since continued it with the greatest possible benefit, and am now comparatively well. God only knows the amount of suffering this medicine has relieved me from. My advice to the suffering is—tbyit|
