Vegetable Lithontriptic Mixture is doing won
ders in all kinds of complaints. People invest
it with properties little short of the magical.
In Fever and Ague, in bilious diseases, in drop
sy, in gravel, in female difficulty, lung diseases,
consumption, dyspepsia" &c. Sc, for why should
we go over the whole catalogue, "t takes all
thess and more, and its beneficial effect is appa-
rent in every instance but to what must we at
tribute its success; there We stop, the whole
course of its success has puzzled us, we do not
understand it.. Medical men step out Of their
path to crush it, they put their heel upan it, it
escapes them, they look about little and if they
are unobserved, they throw off that dignity and
pomposity of manner which is half their capital
in trade, and fail to; tooth and nail toput it out
of existence; but the harder they fight the
stronger grows the nostrum, and the weaker
their own practice, and discomftted, they re-
sumo with the air of broken down dandy his
once fashionable but now ragged cloak, their
dignity soiled and torn by the fray, and walk
off with an air of majesty. Reader get pamph.

Stoddard'S Self-Protecting Bee Hive.

NHE subscriber wanlI espectfully inform
Il the inhabitants of fPortage County that
he has obtained the right of 'sStoddard' s
Selt-Protectlng Bee hive,' for said CouHty.
This hive possesses superior advantages to
any yet offered to the public. It is SO con-
strucie1 as to admit OF the removal of the
boxes containing the honey without injury
to the bees, aud may be so adjusted as to
exclude the bees from the base which it may
be desirable to remove. 1t is constructed
upon such principles Cif rightly managed,) }
that the bees may be rapidly increased,
instead of being constantly diminished, as is
the case with all Of the hives now IN use.
The hive may be so adjusted as to exclude
the drones, and efiectaa lily exclude and en-
trap all in'ruders. Itis cautiously guarded
against the miller and all other insects
which usually iatest hives. A model may
be seen at the store of Mason & BraiEerd
in the village of Rayenna.
Any person wishing individual or towns
