The Chicago 2 MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1881—TWIELVE BROWNS IRON RITTER: Miserable all the time, This is the way a gentleman described feclings, © How - many more there are who feel just the same! A careful observer estimates that nine out of ten people are not well. Some- thing is wrong all the time, Probably nobody wants to be sick just for the fun of it, and nearly everybody trics one thing and another in the vain hope that it will cure them; but in most cases they find themselves no better for the trial. There is no reason why they can’t be cured if they go about it in the right way; but they generally take the wrong way, and then think there is no use trying any more, and so keep getting worse instead of better. Ifa man has dyspepsia he can take red-pepper freely and it will afford temporary relief; but it won’t be long till the stomach refuses to be ‘stimulated in this way, and then he is far worse than be- fore, for the remedy has scri- ously injured him, - A tired, weak man can fill himself with whiskey and for. a short time he may imagine he is getting strength, but it won't be long till that will fail and he will be weaker. than before. What, then, is the right way? The only permanent and satisfagtory remedy for most of the troubles of man- kind is that which will in- vigorate and strengthen the whole system. This can only be done by beginning at the origin of life, which is the blood. No one whose blood is strong and. healthy can be sick; therefore, if the blood is puri- fied and invigorated, disease can not remain. Iron is the symbol of strength, and it is the Iron in the blood that gives health. So longas the blood contains the proper proportion of Tron sickness can get no foothold, If then, when the blood has become weak and impover- ished, fron can be so intro~ duced into the system that it will quickly and thoroughly assimilate with the blood, dis- ease will be driven out. Brown's Iron Birrers isa preparation of Iron and Cin- + chona combined with other well known ingredichts which can be easily taken and will thoroughly assimilate with the blood, thus purifying and strengthening it, and permea- ting the whole system, repair- ing and strengthening and driving disease before it with irresistible force, Thisis the only preparation of Iron that wil? not blacken the teeth, nor cause head- ache, and is the only form in which Iron has been suc- cessfully used, Physicians have been trying for many years to discover some way in which Iron might be pre- ared so that it would assim- ilate with the blood, but their experiments have not suc- ceeded, and it remained for the Brown Chemical Co,, one of the oldest and most relia~ ble houses in Baltimore, to completely realize the hopes of the medical profession, Brown's Tron Bitrers is not adrink, While pleasant to take, it will find no sale among the Whiskey Bitters oftheday. It is offered as a long sought and absolute cure for Weakness, Overork, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Inter- amittent Fevers, Wantof Apetile, &c, It enriches the blood, strengthens the muscles, and gives new life to the nerves. .

Spectat Disputen to The Chicago Tribune, Wasitnatoy, D. C., Oct, %.—The facts concerning the reconstruetion of President Arthur's Cabinet have graduatiy leaked owt, although unusual pains have been taken to keep them seeret. When Gen, Arthur be- came President he recelved the tendered resignations of Garfleld’s Cabinet, and in- dended to have held them.untll the Seereta- rles could have prepared thelr annual re- ports to Congress, accompanied by their es- timates of the appropriations to be made for the neXt fiscal year, ‘There are good reasons for belleving that lie con- sidered the permanent retention of Sec- retary Blaine und tho aproiutment of Mr. Conkling as Secretary of the Treasury, thus strongthoning Ws Administration by the aunport of the two foremost men inthe Re publlean .party, Attorinv-denerale Mac- Vergh, whe has been: rather disiruntted slice the commencement of the Garfield Ad- nunistration, rather precipitated matters by insisting on resigning at onee, and by con- vinelng Mr. Windom that it woukt be RUETTER FOR MEM TO RESIGN ALSO. Mr. Window?’s friends in Minnesota were notl- fied, and he will step back from the ‘Treasury Departuent inte his ald seat tn the Senate Chamber, He has danjebless seen, enough of the T'reasury Department, for the pres- ent, at least. Mr Conkling would hive been Mr. Windom’s successor, but he, requested President. Arthur notto vominate him. Judge Folger was talked of, but he positively intimated that he did not desire to leave hls more permanent ant Inerative seat on the be: ‘The place was then tendered to ex-Gov. Morgan, ant the President expected to have found his acceptationan returning from Yorktown; but, somewhat to his surprise, Gov. Morgan declined. He Is far advanced jn Hfe, he has Iinportant financial tnterests, he would have been obliged to dissolve his connection with the {mporting house of which he has sotong: been the head, and Mr, Morgan DID Nol WANT TO COME IER, under the fatigue of visiting, recelving, and ontertalning, For these seasons Goy, Mor- gan declined, but he was thon requested to aceupt the place for a few months, as a lucwn tenens. Should he also deciing this tempo- rary oceupation of the ‘Treasury Department, it is probable that Mr. Gildan, now tho ‘Treasurer of the United Stntes, will be ap pointed, Mr. MacVesgh’s successor: tn the Department of Justice will probable be ex- Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, and It fs not thought tils evening by those who should know that any. other Cabinet appolntment will bo mado at this extra session, Should this bo the ease, the Scnate can adjourn on Wednesday, ANANT + has very enrnestly revommended that, ex- Senator Howe be given a place inthe Cable net.
