PROPER Policy OF TIE NORTH
SAYS the Richmond Times:
Let the North be wise and tenn
perate in the use of its power, and
history wiIl record for 1t victory
greater and more enduring than
that of the sword-a victory Won
by the exercise Of virtue and the
display of magnanimity and love.
Prominent and pre-eminent, IN
the eyes of future generations, will
stand out in bold and heroic relief,
the Il ;ure of Andrew johnson
that man of iron nerve and will,
who had the courage aud the man
hood to place himself as break
water between the radicals of the
North and the PROSTATE people OF
the bleed .ng South. History will
record, in touching and approprl-
ate words, how he refused to be
fierce and avensing sword IN the
hands of any party; how he step,
ped forth and extended the shield
of love and mercy over his suffer,
Ing brethren, in the confidence of
their integrity, and how he won
them bv that trust and confidence,
more than the presence Of bayo-
nets for century could have
done ; how his action did more to
restore peace, true and lasting
peace than the surrender of Lee
and johnson, and all the triumphs
of the Federal armies.

The Bitter Fruits of Bad Bitters

Invalid reader do you know what nine tenths
of the bitter compounds you are solicited by the
proprietors, to accept as universal panacess, are
composedi Give heed for moment. They are
m anuiactured from unpurilied alcohol, contain.
ing considerable portion of G4sel oil, poison
almost as deadly as prussic acid. The basis Of
the regular tinctures OF the Materia Medica is
The same. No amount of "horbal extracts" can
overcome the bad tendency Of this pc rnicous ele
ment. The essence of sound Rye thoroughly
rectified is the only slimuIant which can be safely
used as component Of Tonic Alternative and
anti bilious medicine, and HOSTETTER S
STOMACH BITTERS is the only medicinal
preparation in the world in which thie article Is
used as an ingredient. Hence the extraordinary
effects of this great specific. 1t gives strength
without producing excitement. No other tonic
does this. All the ordinary Bi!ters flush the face
nd affect the brain. HosTETTER's BITTERs diff.
fuse an agreeable calm through the nervous sys.
tenn, promote digestion and produce sleep. No
other TOME so quickly revivcs the exhausted
physical energ les restores the appetite, and re
moves the gloom and dcpr ession which always
accompanies weakness of the bodily powers
