They purify, strengten and invigorate. They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to a change of water and diet. They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours. They strengthen the system and enliven the mind. They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers. They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach. They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrhea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ache. They make the weak strong, the languid bril- liant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer. They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum.

EXCITING NEWS. N.Y., A Raid frem a Apprebended—Majer Gen. Dix led te—The Military Held in Rea- sion of Germany bas had its attention called {o certain anomalous causes of disease, first ruspectd to be cases of acute poisoning. Chemical investigation nulliying this suse Picion, further investigations Teveaied im alk the subjects examined the Presence of Tri- chive in Jarge pumners. As the Trichings were known to exist also In the flesh of swine, &.d as previous invemtizetion had shown the pcscibility of the transference of eutoxoa trom #uimals to man, suspicious were Swakened, experiments tried, and it was finally demon? strated that these worms were not kilied py @ heat of 140 deg., and thus in imperfectiy cooked meat ccntaining them might be transferred alive to the digestive organs. Cxreful inves. tigation revealed also that each one of these animals thus released from imprisonmeny, in a few gaye gave birth to hundreds of others, which immeairt-ly commenced to perforate their way through the intestines and surround= mg aoe making eae path to te mus- clrs of all portions of the body, especially ¢: of the Iimbe, ibaa The pertoration of the paris by millions of Microscopic Worms Was alinded with symp- toms more or less violent, depending upow tbeir raumbers. and the strength and health of the victims. While passing the coats of the bowels violent purging often arose, sima: arsenical poisoning, 46d Mary persons bad been unjustiy euspected cf this crime, when persons eating food prepared by them had been thus alarmingly seized. As tle worms made their way into the muscle, pains like those of rheumatism cramps, weakness or entire uss of power resembling paralysis, ensued, and when the number of trichene were lurge, wasting, exhaustion and deain followed. Persons es. caping with a few of these disagreeable tenants suilered in a smaller degree trom similar symp- toms, but dnaily recoveres, and a small ortion of their muscles, removed and magni- ed, revesled the trichene arrived at their destination and undergoing the various stages of calcar-ons encystment. No effectual remedy tor this disease has yet been discovered. Attempts have been madeto remove them from the intestines by emetics and purging, hut unless resorted to early, be- fore any symptoms have appeared, this A in- effectual. Pararitecide medicines have not becn found to fford relief, and all that science has been able to do tor public protection as yet is to point out the source of danger. Swine and cats are the animals chiefly inhabited by the parasite. The former only is soppiee w be teed for food, but cases are said to have been traced to ragouts, ostensibly of hare or rabbit, sold in the Parisicn restaurants, and which were shrewdly suspected to be cases of dishonest surstitution. Sau from swime’s firch, smoked but uncooked, are favorite artie cles of diet among the Germans, and in these Trichine are often found. Uuder-done pork may contain them living, but if the entire sub stance of the meat be raised tothe temperature of boiling water, the vitahty of the worms ig destroyed. . ‘The »ppearance of this disease in this coun- try makes the above facts of vaiue to the public. We annex the description of @ care reeently occurring in New 4 ork, (erroneonely stated ta be the first in ‘hfs conntry) taken from the Puffalo Ceurier. The June number of the Baffaio Medical Journal contains & long editoe ria} detailing the facts concernwg & newly dise covered disease which has appeared in Oheeke towaga. Ene Oounty, New York. The dis- covery was recently noted in Germany, but the cases described in the Journal are the first which have been positively identified in this country. The disease is caueed by the presence in the muscles of & worm or parasite, known asthe Trichine spirilas,ard in the cases re= corded, the victims have become infected tronz eating ‘he flesh of swine, in which the worm cLanced toabound. The credit of discovering the disease is due to Dr. Krombein, of Buffalos who, in connection with Dr. Duyler, of Lane caster, in the middle of May last, attended two patients, a man and his wife, in Oheekto- wasga. Both of these died. Another family of feven members, at Merrilla, in that county, Burrao, August 9.—Rumors are rife of a rebel raid on this city by secessionists and sympathicers from Canada. The details are not known, but it is understood that the Gov- eThment is informed of them. The military ss os eity are held in readiness for any out- eak. [SECOND DISPATOH.] The Commercial Advertieer has further par- ticulars about the rebel raid on this city. I appears that the provost marshal of Buifuo from various reports, was led to believe tha the rebels i: janada had organized an expedi- tion to burn Buffalo and destroy the canal locks at Lockport. He laid the matter before General Dix, who stated he was aware of theexistence of sucha plot, but was unable to provide any means to defeat it, He, however, advised that measures be taken heresach as the exigency may re- quire. Itis reported that Major Fargo has protested against the removal of the 74th regiment from here. It has just been ordered on a hundred days duty. t PENNSYLVANIA. HARRISBURG, Aug. 9.—The extra session of the Legisiature met tu-day. Governor Curtin, ig his message, calls upon the Legislature to take some action for the de- fence of the State. He speaks of the support tendered by Pennsylvania to the National Government; and, haying tulfilled all her ob‘i- eations, she hasa right to be defended by the national forces, as @ part of the commen coun. try. After alluding to the recent invasion, he asks, “How could an agricultural people, in &n open country, be expected torise suddenly and beat back a hostile foe which had defeated organized veteran armies ot the Goveriment? 1 is, of course, expected that the inhabitants of an invaded country will do what is in their power to resist the invaders, and the facts will show, 1 think, that the people of these counties have not failed in this auty.” He severely condemns the gibes and scoffs whicb bave been thrown upon the people by the newepapers and citizens of other States, and quores a letter addressed by sim, together with Governor Bradford, of Maryland, to President Lincoln, asing ‘that the recraits raised by the two States shall be credited to the (eey on the last call made, and be armed, equipped, and supplied as other volunteers ip the service. ‘ Thefollowing letter from the Adjutant Gen- eral’s Office, dated August 1, 1561, is the only reply yet received : AB DEPARTMENT, Adjutant General’s Office, Aug. 1, 1864.—Sir: 1 have the honor toackvow!l- edge the receipt of the joint letter from yourself and the Governor of Maryland, dated July 21, 1864, asking authority to raise a volunteer force in your respective States, to be exclusively used for home or locul defence, and for gnard- ing the fords of the Potomac. In reply, Iam directed by the Secretary of Warto inform you that the proposition has been tully considered, and that the authority asxed for cannot be granted. In this connection, please see the act of Congress approved February 13, 1#62, 2s pro- mulgated in general orders No 15, series of 1862, from this office. Tos. M. VINCENT, A. A. Gen. The suggestion has, the Governor says, been frequently made by unrefiecting persons that the State could raise a force and keep it per- manently im the field for her defence. Apart from other considerations, it is to be observed that the expenses of such & measure would be see beyond-he present ability of the State. ‘0 raise and maintain an army of fifteen regi- Ments—and any smaller force would be inad- equate—would involve an annual expenditure of more than $15,000,000.

Dr. La« throp writes the reeult of a microscopicexami« nation of the case. Heeays: «The specimen of human muscle taken from & person after death, and also the sausage he bad eaten, which you gave me, supposing them to contain the trichine spiralis, | carefully exe emined under the microscope, both alone and wih Dr. Hadley. The parasite was found in both in great abundance, but in different states, In ihe moscie taken from the human body the worm was free, while in the sausage it was encysted. In the first I failed to find the worm inclosed inacyst. They were often more or less coiled, two or three turns of an elliptical Jorm ; but often the shape was not regular, though seldom straight. The irregular form mm whichthe worm was found was probably caused by tearing and scraping the muscle, to render it thin enough to become transparent: under the microscope, the normal shape being more or lees coiled. Under the microscope the worm could be readily seen withs low powers and presented uniformly a pointed head, & body increasingin size to the tail, which had sumewhat of a truncated appearance, with & slight fissure. There was an ofan intestinal canal rupning the whole length of the body, somewhat undulating, and filled with granular matter. “In the portion of the sansage examined the ‘worms were inclosed in an ovoid cyst, and here were found free. Evenscraping themnuse cle did not rupture the cyst, They were i smaller than the free worm, were always coiled. Occupying the centres of the eyes, and in most cases single. One cyst only was ob- served in which were two worms, ta from each other, each occupying the extremity of the cyst; the cysts were closed by the mus- cular fibres, which had the appearance of having been pushed aside, and at either end the space where the muscular fibres separated: was filled with fat globules. I did not find g cyst withouta worm. The appearance was, as here represented, magnified over twohune dred aiameters. The werm occupied about one-third of the cyst space. In one emalk piece of the muscular tissue of the sausage, E thould rather say small collection of scrapings, nearly thirty cysts containing worms were counted.” counties of Cameron, Elk, Forest, Franklin, Fulton, Green, McKean, Pike, Potter, Venan- FO.
