The miasma which generates epidemic fevers
is now rising in clouds under the blazing beams
OF the dog day sun. Every living body, as wei
as refuse animal and vegetable matter emits
unwholesome vapors, and in crowded cities and
the dense assemblages which business and pleas
Iure call together the elements of disease are
evolved. The pressure upon every vital organ
is never so great as in the second and third
months Of summer, and common sense teaches
us that these organs require to be reinforced to
meet it. ~ so -
We hold our lives, so to speak, on repairing
lease and this is the season when the process Of
dilapidation is most rapid and repairs are most
required. Therefore build Up, prop and sustain
the pOpers Of nature with that mighty vegetable
recuperant, HOSTETTERS BITTERS. he who
takes it may be said to elothe himself in sanitary
mail, against which epidemic viii hurl its
poisoned shafts in vain. This is no gratuitous
assertion, but great medical fact, attested by
twelve years experience in every climate Of the
habitable globe Extremes of temperature
always disturb the functions of the stomach,
the bowels, the liver and the skin. 1t is through
these that the most dangerous maladies assai
us. Tone them in advance with H0STETTERs
BITTERS, and defy heat and malaria.

Bureau in the Southern States, and have
published their final report. 1t shouldi
be carefully read by every advocate OF
the system and every one who found
fault with the Presidents veto Oh inc
scheme for making the villaiuy perpet-
nal. The most shameful outrages have
been perpetrated by the agents OF the
Bureau upon the helpless blacks, and
while ostensibly created for the advan-
tage of the negro race the Bureau has
inflicted upon the negroes themselves
incalculable injury. - .s
God help the negroes, if the radical
party is to remain in power Ii tne
ayowed object and aim OF that party
were the destruction of the negro race,
it could not more steadily and thorough
liz labor for the accomplishment of that
purpose than it is now doing. The riot
in New Orleans is one of the steps of the
radical party for negro destruction, and
the reported massacre of white citizens
by negro soldiers, in Helena, Arkansas,
is another. There can be no doubt
concerning the result of war
of races on this continent. Z The
negroes, along with their radica.
allies, would be ground to powder be

work, their speedy and total destruction
will ensue.

fitting terms the detestation in which
true men should hold that political par
ty which robs and Expresses the negroes
