Rebellions are not confined to bodies potic.-
They Lrcak out in our own interiors well MS in
the "bowes of the land" The natural law of our
bodies is health, but misuse them, and they re-
volt. We subject them to exposure, T's overtask
them we overload the stomach, neglect the bow
els we plunge out Of hotter than the tropics
into an atmosphere below freezing point, and in
various other ways trihc with our health.
But these frames of ours are wonderful machines,
anil we cam by the use of the PROPER MEANS, so
lNvIGORATE and REGULATE them as to render
them almost proof against the ordeals to which, in
our rccklessness, We subject them. -
Nothing that has ever been known or heard of as
tonic adds so much to the resistant power Of the
human system under circumstances unfivorablc to
health AZ HUSTETTER'S STOMACH BlTTERS.
If you would escape the Intermittent ievers, fits of
indigestion, bilious attacks, and bow ecomplants,
of which cold and damp ae the freqnent causes

the publishers meeting with the success their

WHAT DOES IT MrAN.-The Democratic
Conservative" Convention of Montgomery
county few days since adopted series of
resolutions ins;ructing the unregistered vo-
tiers Of that county to open polls throughout
Montgomery on election day, and hold an
election f,r county officers; in other words,
to forcibly disregard the Registration law and
the Election law of this State, and to set
them both OF defiance. That the advice of
these conservative Democratic" leaders will
be obcyed, the following from the Rockville
Sentinel of last week would seem to indicate:
"TrRS Orr. We call upon all citizens
opposed to the Registration Law, whether
registered or not to be at the polls early on
the morning of the election"
What does the above mean if the "Conser-
vatives' doinot contemplate forcible resistance
