NJ OTnING THAT Is NOT WHOLESOME,
~ genial and restorative in its nature, enters
into the composition of HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS. This popular PREPARATION con-
tains no mineral of any kind, no deadly botanical
element no fierce cXcitan: but it is Il combine
ton of the extracts OF Balsamic herbs ana plants,
with the purest and mldest Of all dihusive simu-
lants.
AS General Tonic. HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
produce effects which must be experienced or wit
messed before they can be fully appreciated. In
case Of Constitutional Weakness, Premature De-
cay and Debility and Decrepitude arising from
old ge it exercises an electric influence In the
convalcscent stages OF all diseases it operl;css
a deli ghtful invigorant. When the powers Of
ture are relaxed it operates to reinforce and e.
tabish them.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigoratod and
the appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic
and hence it works wonders in case Of DYSPEP-
SIA, and il less confirmed forms of lNDIG lest
ION. Acting as gentle and painless apparent,
rs well rs upon the liver, it also invariably re-
lieves the Constipation supcrnduced by irregular
action of the digestive and secrctive organs
Persons Of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At
tacks, Lowncss Of Spirit and Fits of Languor,
find permanent relief from the Bittcrs. The tcsti-
mony On this point is most conclusive and from
both sexes.
The agony Of BILIOUS COLIC is Immediately
assuaged by Il single dose OF the stimulant, and
by occasionally resorting to it, the return Of the
complaint may be prevented.
Last. though not least, it is the ONLY SAFE
STlMULANT, being manufactured from sound
and uoccuous materials, and entirely free from
the acid elements present more or less in all the
ordinary tonics and stomachics of the day.
No family medicine has become so universally,
and it may be truly added, descrvedly popular

MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty s
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming siae

ol our citizens: and his rapidly spreading repua
ton, although It may excite surprise, is bat the
signal of skill. and follows as TIE NATURAL effect
OF such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gcrtlcmen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease and who had taken advantage OF
every available means that promised relief, but
without t'success, until they called upon DR.. Do
hcrty, who in an incredibly short space of time
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is a gen

to establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure Of his own Upon the ruin of anothers
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
a manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. He examines, advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure. In no case does the Doctor make Il
charge unless he effects cure. This, he is able
to do, becahse he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola
tion which appertains to that confidence. Per.
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do well to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm, as for consultation he asks no
fee; nor does he insist on obedience TO his advice
unless the patient places himself Under his care.

DR.. G. NJ. BOURNE: Dear Sir 1t is with pleas
ure and satisfaction that now let you know OF
my good health. Looking back upon what |
hi We passed through, it seems as il had been
lifted from tic grave, and think it my duty to
acknowledge TO you and the world the benefit
derived from water baths. 1t was in Aug, 1864,
when disease developed itself with severe cough.
then took medicines getting worse with chills,
tcvers. loss OF strength. and was pronounced con-
sumptlve This set me to thinking, and finally
| determined TO leave my business and go to the
Sandwich Islands, having been informed that
could not be cured. Iwent to San Francisco. and
while waiting for Il ship called on DR., Bourne,
who stated that trip to the Islands would
probably result disastrously. and was unnecessary
as could be speedily cured at his establishment.
placed myself under his treatment and in one
week was so much improved! thought could risk
returning home and do my duty as engineer on
the Central Pacific Railroad. The Doctor object
ed, but thought knew better, and returned to
duty. In about two weeks my cough returned,
and kept getting verse. and contrary to Dr.
Bournc's Injunction, never to take medicines 4.
gain. committed that folly. and soon WAS 20 com.
plctely run down that could scarcely walk; SO
as Il last resort, concluded once more TO try the
water cure. went TO San Francisco, few oil my
friends expecting me to return; in fact thought
my return doubtful. On arriving at Dr.. Bourne 5
establishment, February l4th 1865, was not o.
bic to get into the bath without assistance, but in
a few days began to recover myself again.
remained with him only six weeks, when | felt
"a wiser and better man." without the aid OF
medicine. | have now been at work several
weeks, and find | am gaining every day, and at
present bid fair to be stouter than ever before.
Persons visiting the Doctors establishment tind it
just what it should he, both in the ladies and gen
tlemcns departments, and cannot say too much
in praise Of the Doctors kind attention to his pa
tients This letter write for the benefit OF all
the afflicted, to he used as the Doctor desires, and

EECONsTRUCTION,
Testimony Ia Reference 10 Mississippi
and Alabama.

Testimony Of Cor. Shdrkey.-Hlon. W.
L. Sharkey testified that, when he COM
menced his duties as provisional gov
eruor Of Missippi, he found the people
fifty TO e-perfectly reconciled 10 the
condition Of things. Even the secession
marty admitted that they had made a
miserable failure, and were ANXIOUS 20
pet hack into the Union. They came up
freely and cheer fully, and met all the de-
nnsn,Is of the President Some prejudice
had arisen against the State because OF a
Foolish urovision Of a late legislative en-
acfment limiting the right Of freedmen
to hold prOperty. The action was IN con-
trsvention OF the laws as they had always
previouslv existed. The freedmen are
doing unmistakably well, but there
is no Disgusting the fact that the
freedmen's bureau and the eoiored
troops have done more harm than good.
Gen. Howard is a very clever genue-
man but there are men IN charge OF
the freedmen's bureau in Mississippi VINO
are disposed to speculate on White and
black. L verify believe that If al the
time ! was there all the troops and the
freedmen's bureau had been withdrawn
could have had a perfect state Of order
in two weeks. There are now in the
state very little over half as many freed
men as there were formerly slaves.
There Is no telling the morality that has
prevailed among their numbers. The
negroes are, in very few instances, dis
posed TO accumulate property. Ny ex-
pectation concerning them is, that they
are destined to extinction beyond a
doubt, We must judge Of the future by

! Testimony Of BIT. Brig. Gen. SsVa5n1e.
/ Bvt. Brig. Ger. Swayne, commissioner
| Of the freedmen's bureau for Alabama
since August last, testiiies that, since he
! went there, there has been q gradual ces-
sation of disorder, a progress Of legisla-
1 ton toward equal laws for all men, and
a marked decision Of political animosity.
/ When he went there, falling to induce
! the provisional government to issue
proclamation declaring that the negro
should have full civil rights, witness is
sued such an order himself inviting the
iudges and magistrates of the State TO be-
come his agents for the administration of
Justice. The order was seconded by the
governor and generally carried out by
the magistrates. The system of agencies
was continued ky order Of the cunven-
tion when il assembled until the close
of the next session OF the Legislature.
That body, however, when it met passed
a series OF laws, regarded as q practical
enactment Of slavery in all particulars
except the sale of persons. The bills
were vetoed by Gov Parsons, and the
vetoes were sustained in each instance
after which no attempt at class
legislation was made. After the
surrender Of Lee kindly feeling
was generally expressed toward the
United States; since which great
increase Of bitterness has taken place,
displaying itself in a sort Of social ostra-
cism Of Union men-NOrtheTn emigrants
and army officers. There is a general
desire on the part Of the people to see the
bureau removed. The governor would
like to see il removed; but while it re-
mains extends 10 it cordial cooperation.
The city of Mobile appears 10 be largely
under the dominion of rowdyism, and
actuated throughout by feeling Of hos
tility to the freedmen. During the past
six months four cOlored churches have
been burned in consequence Of the at
tempt to establish colored schools in
them.
