HEALTH.
Prepared from Aromatic BitterVerbs
UNDER THE ESPICIES or An
EMINENT PHYSICIAN
Are an agreeable and palatab]t
Invigorating Tonic, prepared from
Aromatic Bitter Vegetables, com
bined with a Pure Spirit, improved
and perfected by one of our venera-
bic and eminent physicians during a
practice Of thirty years, in the latter
part of which he used those Bitter
Herbs, with unparalleled success, in
the treatment Of internal Diseases and
for purifying the blood.
They stimulate and regulate the
functions of digestion; impart vigor
and tone to the stomach; strengthen
the system, and are unequalled us a
purifier Of the blood. By continuing
the use of a wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for a
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will grsduallly re-
move every trace Of eruption or in
hammation from the face or BODY as
they progress in the publication of the
blood.
Viewing them simply asa bever-
age, they equal in richness and deli
cacy of flavor the finer grades of
choice Champagne Wines@-the bit
ter principle being only perceptible
when felt in the good work Of purify
ing and invigorating.
For the use of old and young Of
both sexes they are admirably adap-
ted, being grateful to the taste; OF an
exqisitely delicate Havor-i,nparting
to the palate Il soothing aromatic eff
feet, equaIled only by its purity and
richness.
The following letter regarding the
purity and quality of this Celebrated
Vegetable Tonic, from the eminent
and gifted physician and chemist,
Victor f.. Canning, SO long and ia
vorably known in connection with
the French Academy of Science,
speaks for itself:

THE Regular Democratic State Central
Committee, of which Hon. J. P. Hoge is
Chairman. will meet in San Francisco on the
7th of May.
The following language from the San
Francisco Herald of the 10th, taken in con-
nection with the fact that up to that time it
had not even mentioned the fact that the
Breckenridge Committee had issued an ad-
dress, &C., seems peculiarly significant
1T affords us very sincere qualification to
know that decided majority of its members
will earnestly advocate the suppression of
questions which have a tendency to divide the
Democracy, and the reconstruction of the
party in its original integrity.

LAST week friend sent us a poetical COM
position, the popularity of which, he says, is
that it may be read in three different ways.
If the writer will write it off in three differ
ent forms, he will find that in each form. as
well as when combined into one, occurs a
great number of errors, such as lack or SUI
perhuity of feet absence of essential words
to complete sentences. &c. A little labor viii
make it worthy of publication. when it would
prove a real curiosity. Remember also, that,
to be worthy of publication. the rhyming
must be good in each form. Secessionists''
and intent DOM rhyme very well together.
Neither does Montgomery" and ''dispute,'
or if they do, so does - horse-chesnut' with
'chesnut-horse," and elephant with pig
in-a-poke." Work at it once more, and let

NORTHERN publishers, who for years have
been prating from English authors-that is,
re-printing English copyright works, without
making any compensation to the authors
have had their sense of honesty forcibly
shocked by the suggestion of Southern edi-
tor, that publishers in the new Confederacy
initiate their example, and deal toward them
as they have dealt towards the English. Now
that it is their OK that is being gored, it
makes all the difference in the world.
