OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS,
Resulting from Disorders of the Digestive
Organs:
PARTICULAR NOTICE.

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

NEW YORK, August By the steam
er Yazoo, we learn that all the troops in
New Orleans were suddenly sent up the
river on the 26th. 1t is reported that the
rebels were advancing on Morganzia,
though it is not known that these troops
have gone to that place. One thousand
released Union prisoners had arrived at
New Orleans.
The Commercials Washington special
says it is understood that an earnest ap-
peal will be made to the President by
leading Republicans to give Gen. Nc
Clellan a command. 1t is urged that
snliatments to the number of one hun
dred thousand would be secured in New
York.
The impression gains ground that
Hooker will have a most important com
mand.
1t is becoming apparent to the War
Department that the rebels are resolved
on vigorous campaign on the Upper
Potomac, and are reinforcing Early

FAIRBANKS ScALEs.--About thirty
FIVE years ago the Messrs Fairbanks in
vented and began making platform Scales
which effected a complete change in the
manner of doing such business as requires
weig hing, and without W hich it would be
impossible to do the present immense
amount of business in the country. Since
then they have given their constant per-
sonal attention to the business, making
all such improvements ana adding such
notifications as their experience has
Shown-to be desirable. During this time
many other kinds of scales have been
invented, and more or less tried by the
public, and mainly thrown aside, while
the business of the Messrs. Fairbanks has
steadily increased from year to year, their
scales now standing higher in public esti-
nation, and their sales being very much
larger than ever before. This shows very

they could have taken and which COM

the troops could not be induced to finish
