The SOUTHERN BRANCH MINIS. =
The director of the United States
Mint, at Philadelphia. says: cit is q
fact, proved by experience, that coin
age can be executed at the principal
mint at less expense than in any
other part of the country, and as the
means of safe transportation have
greatly multiplied of late years, there
is no reason for reviving coinage
operations at either of the three
branch mints formerly in opere ton
in the Southern States, and he there
fore recommends that those estab-
lishments be disposed Of"

SPECIAL NOTICES.

CON AGESCENCE.-After a disease
has been conquered, there is still the
weakness that it leaves behind it to be
removed. Convalescence is a tedious af-
fair. If the enfeebled and faccid mus
cles, the shattered nerves, the thin and
watery blood could speak, they would cry
for help. In too many cases such help as
is given them is not of the right kind. The
fiery stimulants of commerce do harm
They kindle temporary flame, which is
mockery. Their effect passes, and the last
state of him who uses them is worse than
the fret. Not such is the effect of HOS
TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. There
ls no drawback to its toning properties. 1t
has been found THE GREAT MEDICINE
OF THE AGE for sustaining and bracing
up the enfeebled constitution-no matter
how much debilitated-as it not only be-
slows strength, but soothes the nervous
system and allays all excitement of the
brain. While this excellent prcpara alton
possesses such effective properties, it is
perfectly safe and is agreeable to the taste
Attempts have been made to rival it,
They have failed. Can it be necessary to
say why they have failed? Ask the recover
ed dyspeptics, bilious sufferers, victims
or fever and ague and nervous subjects,
who have experienced it's effects, what they
think OF 1T. Ask THEM, and be guided by
what they say.
AS household medicine it is available
at al times in cases of indigestion; bilious
and other fevers, and all diseases arising
from an impure condition Of the stomach
or liver. Dec 18 re
