h I hire aot space mt strength to review end refute even the prominent defects charged upon the new Cede. I will briefly refer to one which has aroused the most opposition. I refer to the question of interest. Maledictions base been heaped, without stint upon tbe provision of the new Code, which allows parties to contract for whatever rate of interest they please, and yet I would not be surprised to learn, if the Code shall not be adopted, that the very men who declaim most loudly n< w against this provision, in the end become the most enthusiastic friends of the provision. I have but Mttle to offer on the goneral question of the policy or impolicy of laws against what is callod usury, except what has been hitherto advanced by others?but I may lay down two maxims which it will not be denied constitute the creed of all prudent money lenders. Tbe first maxim of such money lenders is, to see that their principle is safely invested. The second maxim is to invest, it nafehi at the highlit rate of Interest. Safoty and profit aro their objects?but safety is the ruling object The safety of investment consists in the responsibility on which their return rests, and . upon the laws which enforce that responsibility. The responsibility may be undoubted, but what is it worth if the la\ s will not enforce it, and the borrower will not voluntarily fulfil his obligations? Nothing?aye worse than nothing perhaps,'?for the lender is subjected under the usury laws of the district, to a fine of three times the amount loaned, if any one choses to exact it What is the actual practical effect of the money lenders maxims under the present laws ? Why unquestionably this,?that as he is obliged to abandon his maxim of " safety " if he lends money at more than six per cent where the laws forbid it, be must charge ?uch a rate over and beyond what would be the real value of bis money, in his own estimate if safely invested, to compensate for his risk in violating the law! Suppose money to com mand on good security, and under a law tolerating the contract, twelve per cent? The money lender would be content?perfectly so, seeing that his security was ample and the laws of the place justified and would enforce the contract But let him know that if he contracted for more than Bix per cent he would forfeit three times the amount of his debt, and what would be his demand? From twenty-five to fifty per oent, to cover his risk 1 Which of these two systems is the better one for the money boi* rower}? Is it better for him to pay ten or twelve per cent nnder a law tolerating it, or better to pay to a money lender a premium of fifteen to forty per cenT as an insurance against his own rascality? It is well known that in nearly all the new States, the laws permit contracts to be made for interest at ten and twelve per cent It is known too that State bonds and railroad bonds are in market at such rates that any and all capitalists can lawfully realise from twelve to twenty per cent upon investments, and of course no man will bring money here from any other point and invest at six per cent, nor will any prudent man violate the laws against usury without charging an exhorbitant rate of interest for his risk. Under this state of facts, is it not obvious, that borrowers of money would be vastly benefitted by a law, which would induce capitalists to bring their money htro for tafe investment? Money is worth in the west from ton to twenty per oent and can be safely invested there at j those rates. Thousands of capitalists at the North would however prefer a tafe investment | here, at somewhat lower rates, and it is not to be doubted, that under the law, as framed in the new Code, an abundance of capital to supply the wants of the district, could be procured at ( from eight to twelve per cent at once, nor can there be any doubt, that within two years, money would be abundant here at seven or eight per cent and perhaps at six per cent A few words more on this point, as I consider this change in the law the most important one for the district that is proposed in the new Code. ( I am no alarmist, hut it is du? to tbo people of the district that they should look forward and provide if possible for the calamities which seem to be in store for them. The benks of the district wi J not he rcchartcrcd, but will be coerced to wind up their affairs. It is pouibie, but not probable, that a free hanking system based upon United States stocks or equivalent securities may be created. : The chances are decidedly against it An effort 1 is even being made to annihilate the trade and ' business of the district by prohibiting the far- 1 mors and planters of the border counties of Maryland and Virginia, who now trade with Georgetown aitd Washington from biinging their State bank note* (underfifty dollar*! ) into the district to exchange for goods 1 iu wu?v uoi IV WIIIC1 vi uuiui^w^uiriiii uit'DV propositions were originally engendered, it were useless to inquire.

On whom can they call for aid? And what terms of compensation for aid can they offer? Tour usury laws would Stare every capitalist in the face. Your rejection of the only hisis upon which the money-lender and moncy-bor, rower can meet upon equal term", (a mutual and lawful contract,) would show the capitalist that your proponing subsequently to pay over six per cent was the result of necessity, and would warn him to keep his money I I will not say how much of weal or woe for the citisens of Washington lie hidden in the action of Congress upon banks and currency, nor how much depends on the adoption or rejection of the new Code, on Monday next I can hardly express ths deep regret I feel at having been deprived, by physical exhaustion, from entering largely and zealously into the advocacy of the new Code, regarding it, as I do, a Qod-send to the people of the District I do not mean to convey the idea f'.jat anything t could say would change a ' single vote.

The enterprising proprietors have purchased die southwest corner lot adjoining their hotel, fronting 128 feet on Fourteenth street and 60 feet on F street; and they propose to immediately commence excavating for a large building, which, when completed, will give them 150 additional rooms, and extend their main dining-room 128 feet?making the entire length of room 268 feet, with an L of 100 feet additional. The edifice will be built with all the modern improvements?with hot and cold water, and gas, in all the chambers, and will prove a valuable addition to this excellently kept and well-patronised hotel. It has been rare that rooms could be obtained there of late unless engaged in advance, and we are glad to see a prospect that guests will not be turned away from their favorite quarters.? Union. The Island Reading Circle.?We notice, with pleasure, the formation of an association of youug ladies and gentlemen in the Seventh Ward, under the above title. As its name indicates, its object is the mutual improvement of its membership in reading and declamation. though it is only in a limited degree confined to these. Its design may properly be styled a threefold one. First. Reading; in order to insure perfection in that art Second. The introduction of debates upon interesting questions, to instruct and interest Third. The encouragement of vocal and instrumental music, to enliven and give additional interest to its weekly meetings. It already numbers some of the most promising young men of the Island, and a corresponding number of Eve's fairest daughters.? We were present at one of its meetings, and would notice as some of the best efforts of that occasion the following: Pitt's reply to Walpole, Paradise and Peri, Words oi Wisdom, Hiawatha's Wooing, Contentment, Character of Lord Chatham, The Messiah, The Bells, (by Poe,) Scene from the Merchant of Venice, Ac., Ac. In music, the Bird Waltz, with additional instrumental, as well as vocal selections. For the success of the Association, so well calculated to delight and instruct, our young friends have our most cordial wishes; for in such assemblages as these, our youth can find instruction, amusement, and safety from temptation. An Old Inhabitant.?Mr. Phillip" Otterback, died on Thursday evening of last week, aged 71. He came here in 1810, and commenced business as a butcher by purchasing a hog, which he killed and carried to market on a wheelbarrow. Since then, until within a yoar or two, he 1 as been the leading butcher of the metropolis, and amassed a large f rtune, a portion of which he invested in the purchase of several valuable fishing-landings on tbe Potomac. He was a native of Wurtcmbcrg. Mr. Otterback is but one of ten thousand illustrations of what may be done by industry, prudence and economy. Any boy no matter how poor he may be, may acquire, in tbe course of thirty or forty years, as much of wealth as can contribute to happiness, and as much of respect as will place him among the most respected, by following in the footsteps of such men. A scientific gentleman was recently descanting upon the physical improvement of the human race. " Do you suppose," said a friend, "that you are a finer-looking specimen than Adam wasf" "Well,?ahem! yes?that is, to be sure I do, goose!" " Well, the Bible tells us that Adam was made in God's own image, and I should like to know what better image you think you are made in yourself?" " Which, taken at the best, is but a figurative expression. But the Bible don't toll us everything.

SPEECH OF ROBERT E. SCOTT, EBQ. IN TI1K DKFKNCK [FROM SUTTON'S REPORT.] (We hare so many call a lor Seott'a speech, that re hare concluded to republish it in atnall portiona. [ya the most important document that we can place n the banda of our reader* at the preeent time. It >howa up modern Democracy to the life, proving, .hat, to obtain the "spoils," they will ehed innocent jlond?brutally ahoot down, in the public atreets, heir follow-citiiena became they dare to say they ire, and dare to act like, Anuriean$.] Now, there is one thing that impresses me as an mpartlal obmrver, for though I am counsel in the tane, I do not admit that I am incompetent to take m impartial riew of it?and it must bar# Siruck ha jury if they are impartial, and every other Imvartla) man, to the prejudice of the United State* i ritneaeea who arc called to testify in regard to that I aff>ay?that uo oue of them voluntarily told us thai iuy prison took part iu the affray, but those who are called the assailants They bo shaped theii testimony in giving an aooount of this affray, as to leave the impressiou that the assault was committed by oue party without resistance from the othei side. I nay that struck me, gentlemen, as something most unfavorable to those witnesses. Wc put them through a course of croes examination. It might have been an oiiiiesiou, a ounual omission. We culled their attention to it. We put the ques tion ; but wo could not elicit from any oue of them an admission that a pistol was fired by any of the opposing party, that a cudgel was used, a stone cast, or a blow struck. Ana they sought to produce the imprtsiion on this court end this jury, that those who were assaulted and their friends, positively submitted to the assault without resistance. 1 could not believe them, nor can this jury believe them. I do not charge them with wilfully swearing fnlselv. I make great allowance for J us tice Donn, for that special challenger, end for police justice Goddard, and I would extend the mantle of charity over them. I will not follow the example of my worthy friend the District Attorney and censoriously impute crime to error; but still I say 1 cannot credit this statement, end in my judgment an impartial jury cannot credit it. - There stood a column of near s hundred Irishmen, outnumbering the assailants; and they were not alone, they were not unsupported; of course not. As the contest partook of a party character it necessarily involvi d in its consequences individuals of thai party in wnoee i< terests tnoae insn were Drought to vote: is it then to be believed that under circumstances like these, in a crowd of persons thus promiscuously assembled of both partiea, this assault could have been made and not be resisted; that blows on one side did not produce blows on the other? Credulity itself must reject it. The testimony on the part of the defence comes in here and proves what every man of rational mind would expect to have occurred?that this rush upon the Irish column produced a fight, blows were given as well as received, in point of facta fight in which policeman Baggott, the Chief of Police, is proved, if not to have fired the first shot, ceitainly to have fired the two that followed the first shot. Blows were dealt on both sides, missiles flew both ways, it was a free fight, ending it is true in the route of the Irish. They had not muskets with bayonets at the point, charged with ball cartridge and three buck-shot to shoot into the unarmed crowd; and they ran. Now, gentlemen of the jury, that was the head aud front of the first offending.? The District Attorney says it was a riot. I say it was an affray. It was an Irish shindy. Wherever you find the sons of Erin gathered together, you always find these shindies. This was produced, to some extent, by the conduct of Mr. Goddard; occasioned by the array of that foreign band and their position at the polls; excited by the retort of the Irishman, who s aid that he had not his papers in his pocket, but he had a brick. What was that but a challenge to a fight? Why, the biick in the Irishman's ) ocket was equivalent to the glove of the knight cast down to his adversary?a challenge to a tilt at arms. With the Irish it was at least a challenge to a shindy. Another fellow draws his knife, and some one exclaims, "there is a knife, wedo in bovs?jump in, l>oys; we have stood it long enough." And they did wade in. I am not here to justify or palliate this conduct. It was a violation of law, and the guilty parties ought to be punished for it. It is a great pity that you cannot go back and punish the parties who collected those Irishmen and brought them there under such circumstances. When you come to weigh the moral guilt which attaches in this case, the deepest stain will be found on them. But I say I am not the apoiogist for the assault; it?was wrong ; it was a violation of the peace; it was central y to law ; it was a violent affray, in which some were beaten and wounded, and it ended in a general flight. It was a great outrage ; 1 agree to that; I am not here to defend it; but tiie question is, can you punish them for it under this indictment ? I make that question ; for, no matter how wroDg they may have acted; no matter what turbulence was manifested; what law they infracted, you can only try them according to law?find them guilty according to law?and punish them according to law ; and the moment you overstep the limits of the law, and visit them with punishment uot according to the law, you break the law, disregard the solemn oath undir which you sit in that box, and set an example fatal to security. We want tbe law executed fairly and impartially : we ask no more. If these men were proved guilty of murder, or of larceny, or robbery, can you find them guilty under th:s indictment? No. And why? Because the indictment charges them with riot, and you cannot iuquire into an offence that is not charged in the indictment. That I have attempted already to explain to yon. Now, gentlemen, can you find tbem gu.lty of a riot ? A riot is charged in the in dictment, hat if the evidence proves that they were guilty of an affray, find an affray tie not charged, you cannot find them guilty of that offence. If, then, this violation of the peace at the polla was, in contemplation of law, an affray and not a riot, however guilty these parties may be? however much they may deserve punishment? and I think they do des;rvo punishment?vou nreaa me i?w 11 you convict mem ; you (DftKe juatre a mockery; and you invade the privilege of the defence which the law haa secured to them. Now, gentlemen, I propose to call your attention to the otstinction betwe-n a riot and an affray: Offence* are divided into various classes, and sometimes the line of demarcation is'difficult to ascertain. The definition is certain?but when we come to apply the tacts to the case it is often un certain to what class of offence the particular < ate belongs. Thus we have homicide divided into felonious homicide, justifiable homicide and excusable homicide. Where the excuse is, where the justification is, snd where they separate, it is often difficult to determine. A felonious homicide is divided again into. murder and manslaughter ; well known settled distinctions the l?w books give us; but still it is sometimes a most difficult thing to determine where to draw the line, and whether a particular state of facts makes a case of murder or reduces it to manslaughter. Tho leading distinction is, that murder consists of a homicide done u~>on premeditation with malice; manslaughter ia a homiHde committed without malice upon sudden beat. Here we have a r ot snd an affray, and tho principle which distinguishes murder from manslaughter, now points us to the distinction between a riot and an affray. Murder must be upon premeditation; manslaughter ia a killing without premeditation, from sudden heat. A riot is a disturbance of the peace upon concert, upon premeditation. The premeditation and concert, which in a case of killing, makes murder, in case of the disturbance of the peace, makes a riot. An affrny ia a disturbance of the peace, where persona engage in a ngnt upon a sudden occasion wi'limi* premeditation. To make a riot, parties must assemble together unlawfully. It must be an unlawful assembly. They must assemble unlawfully ami act upon premeditation. An affray is where the parties assembled, whether lawfully or unlawfally, make a combat out of some sudden provocation. That la the difference, as defined by law, between a riot and an affray. That I may not be misunderstood, I turn to an authority which has been referred to by his Honor. I quote from Rusaell on crimes : "A riot is described to be a tumultuous disturb arffee of the peace by three persona or more, assembling together of their own authority, with an intent mutually to assist one another against any who shall oppose them in the elocution of some enterprise of a private nature-?and afterwards, actually executing the same, in a violent and turbulent manner, to the terror of the people, whether the act intended were of itself lawful or unlawful.'' A ilot then is an assembling together on their own authority with a foregone intent. Now, what ia an affray 1 " Affrays are th? fighting of two or more persons in some public place, to the terror of his Ms jesty'a subjects. The derivation of the word affray ia from the French, rffraytr, to terrify ; and as, in a legal sense, it ia taken tor a public offence, to the terror of the people, it seems clearly to follow that there may be an assault which will not amount to an affray : as where it happens in a private place, out of the hearing, or seeing of any Bicept the partiea concerned; in a high oaae it nannot he said to be to the terror of the people. I And there may he an affray which will not amount to a riot, though many persona he engaged in it; u if a number of persona, being met togMher at a fair or market, or on any other lawful or innocent occasion, happen on a midden quarrel to fall together by the eata, it seems to be agreed that they will not be guilty of a riot, but only of a sudden ffray, of which none are guilty but thoae who actually engaged In It; and this on the ground of the design of their uoeting being innocent and ?g???? m ? ? V i I lawful, and the subsequent brcauli of the peace i happening unexpectedly without any previous intention. An affray differs also from a riot in this: i tiiat two pet sous only may he guilty of It. Wheret as three persons at least are necusmny to constitute a riot." Now, it this definition had beeu written (or this i case, it could not have fitted better A riot'is where people corno together to execute a foregone intent condemned by the law. An affiay is where people assemble together on a lawful occasion, i and a disturbance arises out of sudden beat and I provocation. Now, then, was this a riot or an i affray f Gentlemen, it is a principle of the criini> nal law, that 1 am afraid my worthy friend, the i Prosecuting Attorney has altogether forgotten in i the seal he manifests to obtain a conviction ; but it is a principle sa old as the law itself, commend' ed to us by the highest authority, enforced in the I country from whence we sprang and from whose institutions we derive our law, existing there at > this day unimpaired in all its force, and a principle i which ia existing here, and U part of the law, that is, that in criminal-caaea the accused ia entitled to > the benefit of every rational doubt. The prose cution can never ask a conviction in a criminal l case, till be makes clear the guilt of the party ac1 cused, free from all reasonable doubt; and if the result of the testimony on both aides, or on one side, ia to leave the scales of probability on a bali anoe; to excite a doubt, or stop short of c< rtsin proof, the conclusion from the testimony most favorable to the accused, is the conclusion that the jury is bound to draw. Here it is unquestioned that there ia abundant proof to show, that the > fight in the moroiog at these polls sprung from the challenge oi the one Irishman, and the production ci u mine or aim oy ine omer rue gage was thrown down and taken up. The fight aprung i from that, the partiea being at a public place, a' the polls, voting, where it was lawful for them to I be. I say, then, that no impartial mind can look i gt this evidence and not see that there, is at least a probability that such was the origin of the diffl eulty. The censorious mind, biased by party feelings, party prejudices, party hatred?for it has ' come to this, that men of opposing parties now i hate each other; lamentable as it is, the evidence of this has been too manifest in the testimony drawn from your witness-box during this trial. 1 > say, a man prejudiced by party or blinded by hate i and rancorous feeling, may shut the oyes to all that appears on one side of this cage favorable to I the defence, and looking exclusively to the testimony on the other side, conclude that there is Eroof of a riot and not of an affray. I do not say ow an impartial and intelligent mind is necessarily to judge or determine whether the probabilities preponderate on the one side or the other; what I say ia, and I malntiin it coutidently, that every impaitial and intelligent mind must see and admit that there are probabilities on both sides. Now, my proposition is, that though iu civil casea juries may Weigh probabilities, and decide according as they preponderate, that is not allowed in criminal cases; there, Certainty is le quired. It will not do to hang a man becarse he is probably guilty of murder, or to put a man in the penitentiary because probably he is guilty of stealing, nor to exhaust a man's pecuniary substance by fine because he probably committed a riot; nor if there be a probability th^he committed an affray can you conviot him of a not. You cannot act on probabilities in a criminal case, and it results from that benignant principle of the hw to which I havg already adverted, which declares that it is better that ninety-nine guilty men should escape t >au that one innocent man should suffer. It is that principle of law which ?>mman<ls juries who sit in criminal ctses to resolve every doubt, I mean rational doubt; arising on the testimony, in favor of the accused. If you are a political jury, and are trying this case by party ti sts, it being proved that these defendants are Americans, or Natives, or KnowNothings, or whatever else you miy call them, you may find them grhlty; but if you are jurors with the intelligence which belongs to your office, jurymen impartial, fair, and jutt, I submit it to your houor, I submit it to your justice, when you bring your minds to the consideration of the proof regarding the morning affair, aeeording to the principles I have explained to yon, and which canuot be controverted; whether, upon this evidence, you can, upon your consciences, find *uv ol these parties guilty of a riot, when, according to all reasonable probabilities, it amounted to nothing more than to an affray. Gentlemen of ths Jury, I shall proceed now to call your attention to those parts of the ea?e which concern the disturbances which occurred after the military were brought upon the ground. tar* Rev.

Other preparation# do more or lea* good; but this cure* ancli doager, ou* complaint*, ao quick and to surely, aa to prove an efficacy and a power to uproot di?eaae beyond any thing which men have known before. By re. moving tne obstruction* of the internal organs and I stimulating them into healthy action, they renovate the fountain* of life and vigor, ? health couraea anew through the body, and the aick man is well agahr. They are adapted to disease, and diaeaae only,- for when taken by one in health they produce but little effect. This is the perfection of medicine. It it antagonistic to disease, and no more. Tender children may take them with impunity. If they are sick they will cure them, If tney are well they will do them no harm. Uive them to some patient who has been prostrated with bilious complaint: see his bent-up, tottering form straighten with strength Egain; see his long-lost appetite return : see his olamtny features blossom into health. Oive them to some sufferer whose foul blood has burst out In scrofula till his skin is covered with sores; who stands, or sits, or lies in anguish. He has been drenohed inside and but with every potion which ingenuity could suggest. Oive him these Pills, and mark the effect; see the scabs fall from his body ; see the new, fair skin that has grown under them ; see the late leper that is olean. Oive them to him whose angry humors have planted rheumatism in his joints and bones; move nim. and he screeches with pain; he too has been soaked through every muscle of his body with liniments and salves; give him these Pills to purify his blood ; they may not cure him, for, alas ! there are cases which no mortal power can reach: but mark, he walks with crutches now, and now he walks alone; they have cured him. Oive them to the lean, sour, haggard dyspeptic, whose gnawing stomach has long ago eaten every smile from his face and every muscle from his body. See his appetite return, and with it his health; see the new man. See her that was radiant with health and loveliness blasted and too early withering away; want of exercise or mental anguish, or some lurking disease, has deranged the internal organs of digestion, assimilation or secretion, till they -do their office ill. Her blood is vitiated, her health is gone. Oive her these Pllls to stimulate the vital principle into renewed vigor, to cast out the obstructions, and infuse a new vitality into the blood. Now look again?the roses blossom on her cheek, and where lately sorrow sat joy bursts from every feature. See the sweet infant wasted with worms. Its wan, sickly features tell you without disguise, and painfully distinct, that they are eating its life away. Its pinched-up nose and ears, ana restless sleepings, tell the dreadful truth in language which every mother knows. Give it the Pills lit large doses to sweep these vile parasites from the body. Now turn again and see the ruddy bloom of childhood. Is it nothing to do these things ? Nay, are they not the marvel of this age ? And yet they are done around you every day. Have you the less serious symptoms of these distempers, they are the easier cured. Jaundice. Costiveness, Headache, Sideache, Heartburn.

Through a trial of many years and through every nation or civilized men, Ayek's Cherry Pectoral, has been found to afford more relief and to curt more cases of pulmonary disease than any other remedy known to mankind. Cases of apparently settled consumption have been cured by it, ana thousands of sufferers who were deemed beyond the reach of human aid have been restored to their friends and usefulness, to sound health and the enjoyments of life, by this all-powerful antidote to diseases of the lungs and throat. Here a cold had settled on the lungs. The dry, hacking cough, the glassy eye, and the pale, thin features of him who was lately lusty and strong, whisper to all but him Cohsi'Metion He tries every thing; but the disease is gnawing at his vitals, ana shows its fatal symptoms more and more over all his frame. He is taking the Cherry Pectoral now; it has stopped his cough and made his breathing easy; his sleep is sound at night; his appetite returns, and with it his strength. The dart which pierced his side is broken. Scarcely any neighborhood can be found which has not some living trophy like this to shadow forth the virtues which have won for the Cuerky Pectoral an imperishable renown. But Its usefulness does not end here. Nay.it accomplishes more by prevention than cure. The count| less colds ana coughs which it cures are the seed ! which would have ripened into a dreadful harvest j of incurable diseases. Influenza, Croup, Bronchitis, i Hoarseness, Pleurisy, Whooping Cough, and all irritations of the throat and lungs are easily cured by i the Cherrt Pectoral if taken in season. Every | family should hare it by them, and they will find it i an invaluable protection from the insidious prowler | which carries off the parent sheep from manv a flock.

To be able to state confidently that Consumption is curable by in- I halation, is to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It I ie aa much under the control uf medical treatment I as any other lormidablo disease ; ninety out of every I hundred cases can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per cent, in the second; but in the third stage I it is impossible to save more thau Ave per cent. tor < the Luugs are so cut up bv the d's- ass us to bid de- fS fiance tu medical skill.?Even, however, in the Isst 1 stages, luhslation affords extraordinary relief to the ,1 suffering attending this foaful scourge, which annu- I ally destroys ninety-five thousand itrrrous in the I United fitslw alone; and a correct calculation shows that of the pruacut populat on of tho earth, eighty millions are destined to fill the Consumptive's gruvc. Truly the quiver of death has no arrow an fatal as Uonsumptiou. In all ages it lias been the great I euemy of life, for it spares neither nge nor sex, but | am-cps uu >iin me iimvr, tile Denuuful, tue graoelul ttiul the gifted. By the help of that Supremo Being front whom cotiielh every good and perfect gift, I am enabled to offer to the alliicuxl a permanent aud speedy cure in Consumption. The first i?u?e of ; tubercle# is from impure blood and the immediate effect produced by their deposition in the lungs is to prevout the free admisaiou of air into the air cells, which causes a weakened vitality through the entire ystein. Then surely it is more rational to expect good from medicines eutering the cavities of the lungs ihuu from those administered through the stomucn ; the patieut will always find the Innga free and tho breathing easy, after inhaling reineiues. Thus, Inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless it ucts constitutionally, and with more power nnd certainty than remedies administered by the stomach. To prove the powerful and direct influence of this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a few minutes, paralyzing the entire uervous system, so that a limb may bo amputated without the slightest pain; inhulhig the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in s few hours The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system when fainting or apparently dead. The odor of many of the medicines is perceptible in the slnn a few minntes utter being.inhaled, and may be immediately detected in the blood. A convincing proof ot the constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is always produced by breathing foul airis this not positive evidence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously administered through the lungs should produce ino happiest results ? During eighteen years practice many thousands. suffering from diseases of the lungs ana throat have been under my cans, and I have effected many ' remarkable cures, even alter the sufferers had been pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a fetal disease. My treatment of consumption is original, und founded on long expcricuee und a thorough investigation. My perfect acquaintance with the nature ot tubercles, Ac., enables me to distinguish, readily, the various forms of disease that simulute consumption, and applying proper remedies, rarely being mistaken even in a siuglc case. This familiarity, in connection with certain pathological mid microscopic d sooverics, enables me to r?diove the lung* from the effects of contracted chests, to enlarge the chest, purity the blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy und tone to the entire system. Medicines with full directions sent to any part of the United States and Cumulus by patients communicating their symptoms by letter But tk>e cure would bo more certain if the patient should pay me n visit, which would give an opportunity to examine i the htngs, and enable mo ?o prescribe with much greater certainty, and thon the cure could be effected without my teeing th<? patient again.
