Nature is the Great Physician.
This is now admitted, by the medical profession,
as fundamental principle of healing science. 1t
is wisely provided by the human economy that
whenever anything is wrong in the physical sys-
tenn the natural forces of the body are brought to
bear to expel the disease. The great aim, there
fore. is to strengthen the natural powers This
has been kept in view by the skillful conpounders
of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, which
operates to give fresh vitality to all the organs of
the body. The effect of this medicine upon the
stomach. the liver and the kidneys, is prompt and
decisive. The patient who is wise enough to quit
drugging and try the BITTERS. soon feels as if he
had taken new lease of life. and as he continues
the use of the article he is overjoyed to find the
streams of health coursing through his frame. It
is prepared with great care, and its component
parts are entirely vegetable: 1t is free from the
objections so often urged against preparations Of
the kind. As MEDICAL AGENT it has no
equal, while its pleasing flavor and healthful ef-
fects have made it general favorite. 1t is free
from all properties calculated to impair the sys-
tenn, and its opera tions at once mild soothing
and efficient. All who have used HOSTETrER 8
STOMACH BITTERS attest its virtues and COM
mend it to use.
Even those who are in the enjoyment of perfect
health frequently have need to have recourse to
tonics as preventives of disease. We are never
too well armed against the assaults of "the ills
that flesh is heir to-" In health or sickness this
tonic cannot be taken regularly without giving Vi
tality and elasticity to the system.

Ohio LEGISLATURE.

The Ohio Legislature, after a most
arduous and prolonged session, adjourned
on Monday, May 18th, at 10 o'clock. The
amount of business transacted by this Leg
islature is unprecedented by any Legisla-
tive assembly prior to this. A large num-
lad been placed on the statutes within the
last eight years by the Republican party
and had to be repealed or greatly modi-
fed. The finances of the State were in a
fearful condition, owing to the extrava-
gance and reckless legislation of the late
Republican party and had tu be overbauled
and corrected. We believe the work has
been well done, and will meet the approba-
tion of the tax payers of the State.EStates

his wife, who is most exemplary woman,
remained at the hotel. Some month or
more ago this gay deceiver was introduced
to an estimable young lady of this city, and
at once became enamored of her many
charms. He soon began paying her the most
marked attention; he presented her with a
splendid gold watch and chain, with cloth

the neglected wife supposed her recreant
husband engaged attending to his business
in the country he was dancing attendance

THE two leading spirits in the Chicago
Convention were Hasseurek and Schurz,
two Germans, who are too radical to believe
in God, and are open, defiant and avowed
infidels. They were the most conspicuous
men in the Convention-one the temporary
Chairman, and the other, called upon for a
set speech. And yet the party whom they
lead claim to be governed solely by "high
moral ideas."-Pldin Dealer.

Ayoung lady, rarely accomplished, and
who derives political gospel from Radical

Impeachment Abandoned.

For the time being, the impeachment
foolery is at an end. On Tuesday, the 26tb,
the High Court OF Impeachment met pur-
suant to adjournment, and took vote on
the I'd and Sd articles of Impeachment
the vote on both articles resulting as the
vote on the 1lth article resulted. After it
had been entered on the Journal, by d.
rection of the Chief Justice, that President
JOHNSON stood acquitted on those three
articles, the Court adjourned without day,
and made no provision tor it's re-assem-
bling.
The President is free, and had it not been
urged that the salvation OF the Republican
party depended upon the conviction and
removal of the President-had the Senators
voted according to the law and the evil
dence- scarcely a Senator would have
voten for his conviction. There was no
case against him and they knew it. The
people knew it, too, and they are not likely
to overlook the fact, that over three months
have been used by Congress in at
tending to "party necessity" while
every interest of the country has been COM
PEELED to suffer in consequence.
viii the people forgive this neglect OF
what pertains to their welfare?
This trial has needlessly unsettled every
thing.
1t has UNNECESSARILY added to the ex-
penses of the Government.

unworthy the confidence OF the country.
