' In presenting you ihjth DR. EATON’S
3 HF A M T J LE OWM,
we desire to state its superiority over ev. ry
nostrum that nurse or quack Ifas heretofore
offered voiu
j First-It is the preparation of a regular
( physician, who is well qualified from much
experience in infantile complaints to pre-
scribe for them. Secondly—tit is entirely
free from Paregoric or opiate of any kind,
and consequently relieves by. removing
the suffering,of your child, instead oftfead
i ening its sensibilities. Thirdly—It is put
; up with great care, as a comparison of it
,j with any other article for infantile com-*’
• plaints will show; the very roots from
, which it is distilled being dug from .the
i forest under the direction of Dr. Eaton,
j many of them by his own hands. Forth-
ly—it is perfectly harmless and cannot in-
juic the mo-ft delicate infant, and is a cer-
tain cure and relief in all the following
cases, which is its chief merit over every
other preparation, viz: *
FOR ALL COMPLAINTS ATTEN-
DING TEETHING: such as DYSENTE-
; RY, COLIC, &c.; ako, for softening the
! gums and relieving pAin. For regulating
the bowelslt f» uneqluiiled. For Cold in
j the Head it is a sure relief. For Croup the
most fatal and trying of diseases, it car/
be relied on with perfect confidence, and
being a powerful anti-spasmodic in al-
j cases of convulsions or fits,we earnestly rec
■ ommend you to loose no time in procuring
i it. Lastly— it costs so ■ much more than
i other preparations of the kind, that we can-
not afford such long advertisements as can
those whose whole expense is their adver-
i tising; far the same reason, it commends
itself as the most reliable to all mothers.
I In all cases, the directions wrapped around;
each bottle, must be stricly followed. Friee
25 cents per bottle. -1 It
Dr. Bronson having been so far reduced
by consumption as tp be considered beyond
all hope of recovery by the most eminent ol
the medical profession, and also by himself
—a regular physician of twenty years prac-
tice—as a last resort conceived the idea of
ANALYZING THE BLOOD, and apply- j
ing the subject of physiology to the more,
immediate connection,, and effect of the
state of the blood upon the health and
system. - The result rias been the produc-
tion of this “BLOOD FOOD,” from the
use of which Dr, Bronson was restored to
perfect health. Within six months after
its introduction, over two thousand con-
sumptives were effectuall ycured by it. It
you have any complaints of a consump-
tive tendency,Cough, Cold, Head-aehe,Pal-
pitation of the Heart, Loss of appetite, or
pain in the Side, loose nc ime in procuring
abottleofthe “BLOOD FOOD.’, If you
are suffering from Nervous Debility, or
your sleep is broken and-disturbed, if your
spirits^are depressed'or\<w Organs rala-x-
•ed you will find in thip an unusual remedy,
by commencing with tep drops, If you?
Liver is torpid or diseased ip any maitper
whatey&r one or tiro bottles will 'besure to
invigorate, and bring into lively* apd
healthful aetjon. In the most inveterate
cases of Dyspepsia the patient can here
find |he most efficient and grateful relief.
A benefit is alwavsexpericnced after taking
only one bottle. In Male or Female com-
plaints and weakness, the sufferer, after
trying other remedies in vain, may rest
assured that a certain cure will result
from the use of two pr three, bottles. The
“BLOOD FOOD*’ ii effectual in all cases
of Eruptions, Salt Rheum. Scrofulas nnd
other like complaint!. Pale and emacia-
ted children anil adults are immediately
benefited by its use. , If gives strength !to
the body and color and beauty to the skin.

The plain reason why Singers Sewing
Machines have always sold reauily at a
higher average price than any other, is that
they are better, ntore durable, more relia-
ble, cupable of doing a greater variefy of
work and earning more money. Long
continued popularity is proof of. sterling
merit. In tne purchase of what are called
cheap Sewing Machines, thousands have
been decieved and disapi>viiited, but with
Singers Sewing Machine tlmro is never any
failure or mistake.
All of Singer Mashir.esmake the inter

best stitch known.

cers specified in the late ordinance.
All came forward, except the Gov-
ernor and Secretary of Rtgte, and
took the oath, in open Convention,
as proscribed.
The evening session, and the
night session were occupied by the
bill for State defence. At the
night session a resolution was pass-
ed declaring that Gen. Sam Hous-
ton and E. W. Cave, jn consequence
pf their refusal to tpke the oath,
had forfeited their official positions,
and the Hon. Ed. Clark the chief
Executive of the State of Texas.
The bill before the Convention has
passed its firstreading. It provides
for four regiments, one of which
must be raised in the eastern por-
tion of the State. J
Monday, March 18.—The Conven-
tion passed the morning in
ering the Four Regiment Bill. Ad-
journed to.7 P. M.
At 3 p. m. the House of Represen-
tatives assembled. Roll called and
quorum present. The Secretary
read a communication frotp Presi-
dent Rol^rts. This communication
informecT’them of the oath prescrib-
ed for all State officers, and also of
the refusal o( Gov. Houston to take
it, and his consequent removal from
office. j I ,
After the Secretary had got
through reading the matter sent in
by President Roberts, several reso-
lutions yvere offered in relation to
the oath ordinance, some speeches
for and against it made, and pros-
pects were very fair for ah intermin-
able discussion, when Mr. Speaker
Taylor cut the whole short, by tell-
ing-the members that they were
nut there tu debate , the question,
but to take the oath, or not, as best
suited them. He then took the
oalh himsef, and ordered the Secre-
tary to call the roll. The members
present, excepting four, cam# for-
ward. as their names were called
and took the oath. Hancock, Nor .
names
I did not ascertain, absented them-
selves to keep from taking it, Han-
cock leaving the hall as the names
were being called.
The house then adiourfied to 10 a. .
M. to-morrow.
The Senate held no meeting, b
This morning Gen Houston gave
up the. Executive office to Gov.
Clarke. Gov. Clarke hai not yec
appointed his Secretary of State
and private Secretary. Gov. Hous-
ton has set next Thursday for an
address to the citizens of this place,
anoto-day hie is but injk printed
circular addressed to the people of
the State., i. •• H '

The convention met at 7 p. m. A
substitute ordering that one regi-
ment of mounted mon‘|be raised,
Was adopted in ’ place of the four
regiment bill. I suppose this last
bill will pass its third reading to-
morrow and the matter of State
defence be dropped. For five days
the “bleeding frontier” was bewail-
ed, very strongly reminding one of
“bleeding Kansas,” for upon this
point of “bleeding,” and the necessi-
ty of protection, the members were
a unit, but when the plan of de-
fence come before t hem for discus*
sion, there were as many opinions
as members. ! ' .
Adjourned to2 p. m. tomorrow. J
The Convention will adjourn
about the middle of this week. The
Legislature will endorse everything
the convention has done, and will
finish whatever it-leaves unfinished.

A private letter from a friend
“up the oountry,’* aays that the
Black Republicans have to a con-
Mderablo degree ehanged their sen-
timents in regard to* the Southern
institution. The change, we fear,
’ ana brought about by a want of
abange, and the South will, believe
♦a no such. If any doubting Thomas
thinks that change will not produce
arevulaion of feejlqg, let him go
to a good friend and try to borrow
money. The friend will instead be
an enemy instanter.
