The Truth about Dyspep'

Whoever says dyspepsia is incurable tells a.

More than ten thousand aggravated cases
have been cured By HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS, while the number that
have been prevented from coming to a head
by the same means, 10 incalcalable. In this
season Of the year, when the appetite is some
times too vigorous for the comfort and safety
of the stomach, indigestion is most prevalent
and most distressing. Is the appetite to be
baked to accommodate the digestive or gans:
Not 50 for then the frame would lack its
due proportion of nutriment. Tho thing to
be done is to STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH, tone
the liver, and put the bowels in perfect order
Nothing will do this so effectually, SO ra pid-
ly,so quietly,so pleasantly,as HOSTETTER'S
BITTERS. This potent preparation trims
and balances the system, and clothes it, as it
were, with defensive .armor. Chronic dys-
depsia, liver complaint, and fever and ague
are never known to attack those who are wise
enough to invoke the aid Of this great pre-
ventive.

Why the Radicals were
Defeated in Ohio.

and furnishing reasons for, the de-

ses for the utter discomfit which
the Radicals received, as follows ::
The causes that lead to the de.
feat of the Radicals in Ohio are
few and easily told. First in or

the Democracy for paying off the
public debt. Its justice and wis

Wheat will Produce
Cheat.

Mr.. Pittit, at a late meeting of
the Lexington (Ky.) Farmers
Club, says the Farmers Fl ONE
Journal, contended that wheat
will produce cheat, under certain
circumstances. A number of
years ago he sowed rye early in
the fall for the purpose of grazing
cattle early in the spring. He
sowed a field in rye with the ex-
ception of an acre and a half,
which he sowed in wheat. Next
spring he grazed cattle on it late,
and after he had grazed the cattle
on it until he thought he had ex.
hausted the benefit of all the gra.
zing, he took the cattle off. On
the whole length of the line Dor:
dering on the rye the wheat por
ton was almost all cheat, but
none Of the rye. He also grazed
another piece Of wheat that was
thin upon the ground, and in
walking through the field he found
a bunch of wheat and cheat-one
small stalk in the centre was
wheat, and the balance, consisting
of about a dozen stalks was all
cheat, and upon carefully digging
it up, he found that it was all
from the same root. Mr.. Pittit
also states that a Maryland farm
er exhibited to Professor Henry
of the National Institute, stalk
| the head of which was half wheat
and the other half cheat.
