STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS,

MORNING that is not wholesome, genial and restor-
ative in its nature enters into the composition of o
sTETTER's STOMACH BITTERs. This popular propa-
ration contains no mineral of any kind, no deadly
botanical element no fiery excitant; but il is com
biuation of the extracts Of basamic herbs and
plants, with the purest and mildest Of all dillusve
stimulants.
1t is well to be forearmcd against disease and so
far as the human system can be protected by human
means against maladies engcndered by an unN hole
some atmosphere, impure water and other external
causes, losTETTER's BITTERs may be relied on as
safeguard.
In districts infested with Fever and Aguc, il has
been found nallbe as preventive and irresistible
as a remedy, and thousands who resort to ii under
apprehension of an attack, escape the scourge; and
thousands who neglect to avail themselves of its
protective qualities in advance, are cured by very
brief course of this marvellous medicine. Fever and
Ague patients, after being piled with quinine Cor
months in vain, until fairly saturated with that dam
gcrous alkaloid are not unfrequently restored to
health within few days by the use OF lIosTErTER's
DITrERs.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigoratcd and the
appetite IT stored by this agreeable Tonic, aud hence
it works wonders in Of Dyspepsia and in less
confirmed forms Of Indigestion Acting as gentle
| aud painless apercnt, well as upon the liver, it
also invariably relieves the Constipation superin-
duced by irregular action of the digestive and secre-
tive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous Attacks,
LOwncss of Spirits, and Fits of LanguOr, hnd prompt
and permanent relief from the BIrTERs. The test-
mony on this point is most conclusive, aud from both
sexes.
The agony of Bilious Collie is Immediately as
suagcd BY single dose of the stimulant, and by
casionay rcsortng to it, the return of the complaint
may be prevented.
As General Tonic, HosTETTER's BITrERs pro-
duce effects which must be experienced or witnessed
before they can be fully appreciated. In cases of
Constitutional Weakness, Premature Decay, and
Debility and Dccrepitude arising from Old Age, it
exercises the. electric influence. In the GONZALES
cent stages of all diseases operates as delightful
invigorant. When the powers ofnature are relaxed,
il operates to reinforce and re-estabish them.
Last, but not least, it is The ONLY SAFE STDU-
LIANT, being manufactured from sound and innocu-
Gus materials, and entirely free from the acid ele-
mcns present or less in all the ordinary toncs
and stomachics of the day.
No family medicine has been so universally, and,
it may be truly added, DEsERvEDLY popular with
the Intelligent portion of the community, as llo-
STETTER'S BITTERs.

Not so fast, Mr.. Thayer. We did 20
to Springfield last fall, and heard Nc
Clernand make splendid Democratic
speech for the Union. 1t was delivered
before a mass meeting of War Demo-
Gratis, who were there to organize as a
party. That meeting was also address,
ed by E. G. Ingersoll, General Haynie,
Judge Kuykendall, and other lifelong
Democrats and personal friends of Sem
ator Douglas. Those gentlemen, with
the exception of McClernand, are now
all stumping Illinois for Lincoln. For
this reason, we do not believe the
Springfield dispatch. That dispatch
lies when it says McClernand has "uni-
f)rmly supported the Democratic tick
et;" for last year he stumped the States
of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin for
the Union nominees, against the So
called Democratic.
We shall not call McClernand distoyal
and a copperhead SO long as he is abused
by the Democracy. We invite the at
tertion of the Courier. to the following
flattering notice from one Mr.. O'Brien,
of Peoria, given in a public speech du-

Inc second plank III lne chicago plat-
form says:
2. That this Convention does explicit
ly declare, as the sense OF the American
people that after four years of failure to
restore the Union by the experiments of
war. = = Liberty and the public
welfare demand that immediate efforts
be made for q cessation of hOstilities
with a view to an ultimate convention
of the States or other peaceable means,
to the end that at the earliest practicable
moment peace may be restored on the
basis of the Federal Union of the States.
That is one view of the Democratic
picture. Another view is this. Gen,
Mcclellan said in his West Point ad-
dress
TO eff;,ce the insult offered to our flag,
to secure ourselves from the fate of the
divided Republics of Italy and South
America, to preserve our government
from destruction, to enforce it's just
power and laws, to maintain our very
existence as a nation, these were the
causes which impelled us to draw the
. sword. Rebellion againsta government
like ours, which contains the means of
self-adjustment, and a pacific remedy
for evils, should never be confounded
d. with a revolution against despotic pow
err, which refuses redress of wrong
Such a rebellion can not be justified up
on ethical grounds and the only dlterno-
tives for Our choice are it, suppression or
the destruction of our nationality.
Isn't there consistency for you? The
platform says peace Mcclellan says
war, and scarcely are his words cool be-
fore he jumps upon the platform and
loses his identity. And now he desires
the votes of war men. Alas! poor Mac {!
You must be fish or flesh.
