STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS.

NOTHING THAT IS NOT WHOLESOME,
~ genial, and restorative in its nature, enters
iato the composition of H0STETTER'S STOM-
ACH BIrTERS. This popular preparation con-
tainS no mineral of any kind deadly botanical
element no fierce cxcitant but it is combination
of the extracts of balsamic herbs and plants, with
the purest aud mitrest of all difusve stmulants.
As General Tonic HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
produce effects which must be experienced wit
messed before they be fully appreciated. In
eases of Constitutional Weakness Premature Decay
and Debility, and Decrepitude arising from Old
Age, it exercises electric influence. In the con-
valescent stages of all diseases it operates de-
lightul invigorant. When the powers of nature
relaxed it operates to reinforce and establish
them.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the
appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and
hence it works wonders in cases of DYSPEPSIA,
and in less confirmed forms of INDIGESTION. Act
ing as a gentle and painless aperent as well as
upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the Con
stipation superindueed by irregular action of the
digestive secretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At
tacks Lowness of Spirits and Fits Of Languor, find
prompt and permanent relief from the Bitters. The
testimony this point is most conclusive and from
both sexes
The agony of BILIOUS C0LIC is Immediately
assuaged by a single dose of the stimulant, and by
occasionally resorting to it, the return Of the
plant may be prevented.
Last, though not least, it is the ONLY SAFE
sTIMULAyT, being manufactured from sound and
nnocuous materials, and entirely free from the
acid elements present more less in all the ordi-
nary tonics and stomachics of the day
No family medicine has been universally, and,
it may be truly added, deservedly popular with the
intelligent portion of the community, as HOSTEL
TER'S BITTERS.

Mr. EDrToR:-l was called on business few DAYS
since, about twenty miles down Feather river var
ley. After travelling about eight miles from Gro
vile, noticed columns of smoke arising from the
grain felds-on inquiry was told that the farmers
were burning their straw to get it out of the way,
and in conversation with farmer, asked him II
that treatment would not impoverish the soil. Oh
no, said be- it is rich that you never can make it
poor, and yet you can hear those same persons
grumbling about hard times, poor crops. etc.
I In the Atlantic States, if man should barn the
straw on his farm to get rid of it, he would be
driven eff as nuisance, or taken care of in some
asylum" Now il IS very clear that in the best
soils, in ten years steady cropping that there is
very perceptible falling of in the yield, unless
there is some return made the soil. As proof of
this the common plough never turns up the soil
more than six inches in depth and the roots seldom
run deeper than the plough, and then to take grain
off every year and burn the straw the land viii be
almost worn out in ten years, yet these men, will,
as soon they get their crops into market
lounge around until seed time, then in their hurry
they will burn their large heaps and stacks of straw
and as an excuse, say that the soil never be
hausted. There few however. who believe
that the ashes enriches the soil as much TO allow
the straw to decay, yet there is earnest desire
among some OF these same men, TO enrich portions
of their farms that outside of he river bottom
and not able to see that the material is on the
farm within their reach.
was pleased to that in some localities how
ever the farmers gathered in the straw and allowed
their loose stock to feed it down. They would eat
portion, and trampe the rest down that it will
decay in two years; and they Informed me that
they were well repaid for their labor by increased
crops, and that they never lost any stock by star
walton. If you notice, Mr.. Editor, men who are
cursing the country, that they are the ones who
burn their straw until the land becomes poor, then
they viii sell out at low figure, curse the coun-
try, and other country by their presence.
Yet despite the grumbers, there will be thousands
of acres, inclesed and planted this year that has
never yet been touched by the plough. and every
acre under cultivation wil be planted this year. so
that in spite of all that may be said to the con.
trary old Butte is steadily progressing, at least
far as have seen. But have become prosy, SO lei
