TRIUMPHANT OVER DISEASE
This truly great medicine still goes on, conquer
ing disease, aud snatching many a poor powerless
victim from the grave. By lis powerfully stimula
ting, penetrating and anodyne qualities, it restores
the use of limbs which haye been palsied for years;
and by its singular power of reproducing the syno
vial fluid or Joint water, it cures a't diseases of the
joints with surprising rapidity. For rheumatism
and affections of the sp'ne and spleen, it haB proved
Itself a specific; and for affections rf the lungs,
liver and kidneys, it is a most valuable and power
ful auxiliary; also, for all diseases of the glands,
scrofula, goitre or swelled neck, etc. And indeed
for almost any disease where an external applica
tion Is required, this medicine stands unparalleled.
Sprains, bruises, cramps, wounds, chilblains, burns,
etc., are speedily cured by it.
WASHINGTON.
The President's Message.
Washington, Oct. 16. Fellow citizens
of the Senate and house of representa
tives: The adjournment ot the last congress
without making any appropriations ior the
support of the army for the present fiscal
year has rendered necessary a suspension
of payments to officers and men of the sums
due them for services rendered alter the
30th day of June last. The army exists
by virtue of statutes which prescribes its
numbers, regulates its organization and
employment, and which fax the pay of
its officers and men, and declare their right
to receive the same at stated periods. The
statutes, however, do not authorize the
payment of the troops in the absence of
specific appropriations. Therefore the
constitution has wisely provided that no
money shall be drawn from the treasury
in excess of appropriation made by law.
and it has also been deolared by
statue that no department of the govern
ment shall expend, In any fiscal year, any
sum in excess oi appropriations made by
congress for that fiscal year. We have,
therefore, an army in service authorized
by law and entitled to be paid, but no
funds available tor that purpose. It may
also be said, as an additional incentive to
prompt action by congress, that since the
commencement of the fiscal year the aruij,
though without pay, has been constantly
and actively employed in arduous and
dangerous service, in the performance of
which both omcers ana men have dis
charged their duty with fidelity and
courage and without complaint.
These circumstances, io my judgeuieut,
constitute ua extraordinary occasion, re

Samuel J. Randall being re-elected speak

in the course of which he said he hoped
that the house would "take no step back

house, under a matured and definite plan

the eificiency of the administration. To
have an honest administratiou, it should

urgent than now, with the general fiuancial
