HOSTETTERS
CELEBRATED
STOMACH
BITTERS.

Nothing that is not wholesome, genial
and restorative in Its nature enters into the
composition of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS. This. popular preparation con
tains no mineral of any kind, no deadly
botanical element; no fiery exctant: but it
is combination of the extracts of rare bal
samic herbs and plants with the purest and
mildest of all diffusive stimulants.
|: is well to be forearmed against disease,
| and, so far as the human system can be
protected by human means against maladies
engendered by an unwholesome atmosphere,
impure water and other external causes,
HOSTETTER'S BITTERS may be relied
on as a safeguard.
In districts infested with Feoer and 4gue
1t has been found infallible as preventive
| and irresistible as a remedy and thousands
who resort to it under apprehension of an
| attack, escape the scourge; and thousands
| who neglect to avail themselves Of its pro-
tective qualities in advance, are cured by
very brief course of this marvellous medicine
! Fever and Ague patients. after being piled
with q,.inine for months in vain, until fairly
saturated with that dangerous alkaloid. are
not unfiequently restored to health within a
few days by the use of HOSTETTER'S
| BITTERS.
! The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated
and the appetite restored by this agreeable
Tonic, and hence it works wonders in cases
of Dyspepsia and in less confirmed forms of
Indigestion. Acting gentle and pain.
less apperient, as well as upon the liver. it
also invariably relieves the Constipation
superinduced by irregular action of the di-
gestive and secretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous
attacks, Lo'cness Of Spirits and Fits of
Languor, find prompt and permanent relief
from the Bitters. The testimony on this
point is most conclusive, and from both
sexes.
The agony Of Bilious Collie is Immediately
assuageG by single dose of the stimulant,
and by occasionally resorting to it, the re-
turn of the complaint may be prevented.
As General Tonic. HOSTETTER'S
BITTERS produce effects which must be
experienced or witnessed before they can be
fully appreciated. In cases of Constitution
al Heahness, Premature Decay and De5il-
iuy and Decrepitude arising from Old Age,
it exercises the electric influence. Ia the
convalescent stages of all diseases it operates
as a delightful invigorant. When TIE
powers of nature are relaxed, it operates TO
reinforce and re-establish them.
Last, but not least, it is The Only Safe
St'muld,a being manufactured from sound
and lnnocuous materials, and entirely free
from acid elements present more or less in
all the ordinary tonics aud stomachcs Of
the day.
No family medicine has been so univer-
sally, and, it may be truly added, deserved
ly popular with the intelligent portion Of
the community, as HOSTETTER'S BIT
TIERS.

How TO MAKE Ice CREAM-Ice cream is
usually considered a luxury not to be indulg-
ed in by farmers families. II is set down as
city dish, though most of the articles used
In Its preparation are obtained from the coun-
try. 1t is not generally known that the best
Ice cream can be made without costly freez-
er, In any family where ice and milk are at
hand. 10 make it, proceed thus: Take two
qnarts of fresh milk-if little cream be add
ed all the better, though ice cream as ordina-
rily made is innocent OF cream. Scald the
milk, stirring in three tablespoonfuls of corn
starch or arrow root to give it body. These
may be omitted, il not at hand. Stir we'll
to keep from burning. Beat up four to eight
eggs, according to convenience, or as a rich
dish is wanted, and pour the scalding milk on
the eggs stirring well. When cold add sugar
and essence of lemon, or extract of vanilla, to
suit the taste. A very little salt also improves
it. Pour the cooled contents into deep tin
pail or can holding say three quarts; put on
the cover, and set in an ordinary wooden wa
ter pail. Pound up ice to the size OF small
hens eggs and less-some of course will be
quite flne-pack it in around the tin can, mix
ing in about one pint of either medium or
fine salt. Pack this till it reaches nearly TO
the top OF the can containing the mixture to
be frozen, but be careful none enters it. Now
move the tin can or pail around by means of
its ball. lifting the cover occasionally to scrape
of the frozen cream on the inside, so that
other portions may come in contact with the
freezing surface. From fifteen to twenty min
utes will be sufficient, and the dish may either
be served up at once or set away, without re-
moving from the wooden pail, in cool place
for several hours, covering with flannel CLOTH
Try 1t, and see If you neen hereafter forego
the ice cream because no freezer is at hand.

received by lady of that city from her son.
who has for several years been resident of
Charleston, and is a secessionist. Before the
rebellion, he was in easy circumstances. Tie
writer says
ut is trying indeed to me to feed and clothe
my family of eight. l shall be thankful if
live through this unnatural and horrid busi-
ness, and able to save my little ones from
absolute want and starvation. We live prin-
cipally on corn bread and rice, with not
piece of fresh beef more than once in three
weeks, and no tea, coffee or sugar. Twenty
five dollars of Confederate money is really
worth about one dollar of former times
There are, however, innumerable persons in
the South far worse off than we."

An Extraordinary Story.

A correspondent OF the ST. John, n. b. Tel
egrdph writes TO that paper from bathurst, n.
d. tnat Mr.. James Mulock, a farmer, had been
confined 10 his beo for three and half years,
and was so emaciated as to be reduced to a
weight OF seventy-three lbs. His disease bai-
fled the skill of the doctors. A short time ago
an old gipsey woman came along and offered
TO cure him for 500, the money to be placed
III the hands OF MIR. Ferguson, who was to be
the judge Of the cure. Mulock placed himself
In her hands, was taken TO the camp, tied up,
and allowed nothing but salt food TO eat, and
gradually his allowance of water was stopped.
His safierngs from thirst were SO intolerable
That he begged his brother, who was with
him. to shoot him or drown him. Finally.
he became quite out of his mind, and got into
high fever. Then he was dragged to
spring near by, and the remainder is thus told
She laid his head with his lips almost touch
ing the water; she took up birch pannikin,
and commenced lifting up water and letting IL
fall just before his lips. He was all this time
as quiet as II he were dead; sometimes only
he gave slight shiver, his mouth wide open,
and his eyelids opened and shut, the white
of the eye only was seen. Alter about ten
minutes she said TO me-"Now who's right.
but keep quiet" leaned over and saw
large green lizard peeping out Of his mouth;
1t did not seem as If wanted to come out,
oub uItW lJseH IN again. 1t VIII come out
again" says the gypsy. While she was speak
ing two lizards gided out of his mouth into
the water; the gipsey quietly killed one with
small stick and | killed another. We wait
ed again for five minutes when three came
out, but not together; these we killed, al
though one almost escaped from the water
to his mouth ere it was completely despatch
ed. We then waited nearly an hour longer.
but no more made their appearance. The
gpsey then said-"rhere's no more, "and pro-
ceeded TO pour water on Jims forehead. She
did so for twenty minutes she then gave him
about spoonful of water to drink: II actual
ly hissed in his mouth. She kept him con-
fined that day and half the next, before she
let him free, gradually increasing his allow
ance OF water. The man soon recovered his
health, and at the end of nine weeks his weight
was 100 pounds. The lizards are of a bottle
green colour, about five inches long, red eyes
and lorked tongue; have only two feet, and
body wedge shape sloping towards the tail.
Two haye been sent to Prof. Agassiz; two to
Prof. Jack, and one in the possession of Mr.
Ferguson, will be sent to the Natural History
Society. Prof. Jack, Ia acknowledging
tne receipt OF the specimens, says he has seen
Out one like them, in the University of Mum
men, which he calls the lacerta homo. Dr.
JACK concludes that as they differ from every
Ano"n species OF lizards, they must have zen
taken into the stomach In an embryotic state
anu iron local causes were developed into
their present state.
