PARTIcpLAk NOTICE.

There are many preparations sold under
the name of Bitters, pus up in quart bottles,
compounded of the cheapest whisky or COM
mon rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents per gal
Ion. the taste disguised by Anise or Corian-
der seed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will
continue to cause, as long as they ran be sold,
hundreds to die the death of the drunkard.
By their use the system is kept continually
under the influence of Alcoholic sstimulrnts
of the worst kind, the desire for liquor is
ated and kept up, and the resuit is all the
hor,crs attendant upon drunkard's life and
death.
For those who desire and WILL HAVE
liquor bitters, we publish the following re-
cepit: Get one bottle of Hoofiand's German
Bitters and mix with three quarts of good
Brandy or Whisky; and the result will bea
preparation that will far excel in medicinal
purposes and true excellence any of the mn
merous liquor Bitters in the market, and will
COyT MUCH LESS. You will have the vir-
tue of Hoofland's Bitters in connection with
good article of liquor. at a much less price
than these inferior preparations will cost you.

Wrecks of Humanity.
WHY SHOULD THEY SINK :?

The excitement of Hthe chase" has always
been supposed to have a healthful tendency;
but there is a kind of chase which breaks
down the constitution, debilitates the frame,
and shortens life. We mean the headlong,
unintermitting hunt after .sthe almighty dol
lar" which is the great business characteris-
tic Of the present day. 1t begets other evils
unnecessary to name) which precpitate the
tate of thousands. There is, however, a pos,
sibility of recovery from the prostration pro-
duced by these causes, long after their victim
has ceased to hope for it. If we are rightly
informed, the most astonishing cnres of what
is called general weakness and debility which
have ever been known in this country, have
been effected through the agency of Doct or
Holloway's inestimable remedies. Mere skel.
etons of men, out of whom the very pripci-
pie of vitality seemed to have been drained
have been restored to health and vigor by the
operation If the Pills; and of the Ointment
in case of paralysis, rheum atism, &c., we hea,
an equally favorable account. If men will
break down their energies by over exertion-
it, in their anxiety to "go ahead,' they will
| override the most prscious of Gods blessings
health-it is well theg should know how te
| repair the mischief, when theg come at last
to realize the fact of their premature decay
The wrecks OF humanity, who, without an5
particular disease, appear to be sinking from
mere exhaustion, would find, without doubt
immediate relief from Doctor Holloway's
remedies

against them for many years, under the i'm

Shoemake, Esq, for the removal OF this pref
udiee by proper tests, and for encouragement
to try them, when suffering f,om great and
