StimulantS, however, are as necessary in medical
practice rs fcb1rfugcs, or cathar,cs, or anodyncs
or alternatives. any other of the recognized spe-
cited diseases The great question is, can pure
stimuant be had: We say it can. We as-crt the
IosTEIrER's STOMACH BITTERs. the acholic LASTS
of which is the es ,,nce of SQUAD Monongahcla Rye,
is rs pure n stmulant it is possible for human
skill to manufacture. 1t is however, something
more and better than this, to wit: A judicious
medcatcd stimuant. in which the qualify ing ingrc-
dents are the finest stomachc apcricn alternative,
and anti-bilious herbs, ROOTS and gums. These
vegetables constituents modify and control the cf-
feet of the spirituous, elements, and render the
GRANT at present in use. Itmay be remarked, per-
haps, that this is an easy thing to say-but how is
it to be proved? To this we have only to reply that
corroborativc testimony from high scientific sour
ces, and from citizens of good standing in every pro-
fession and calling, extending over aperiod OF more
than twenty five years, is at the service of whom it
may concern. Volumes ofths testimony have been
published and there remains at least an equal
amount as yet imprinted. For the melancholy con-
sequences which cnsuc from the sale of unwholsomc
compounds bearing the name Of the various spurious
liquors, the powers that be are in degree
ponsblc. Deriving, as it does, large revenue from
the importation and manufacture of alcoholic bcvcr-
ages, it is manifcstly the duty Of the General Gov
crnment to protect the people as far as possible
ogainst the introduction of roIsoNs into their daily
drink. Still more imperative is the obligation to
shield the sick from the peril Of being killed or in
jurcd by pernicous cxctants, administered as NED
ICINEs. Inspection and taxation ought, in this
matter to go hand in hand, and in all cases of adul-
tcraton, the adulteratcd articles, instead of being
axed, should he DESTROYED. Every tincture and
extract containing, or purportng to contain, alco
hol, should be examined ay competent scientific
men, and not permitted to go into the market until
its purity has been authoritatively certified. The
sanitary interests Of the community should be para
mount to the financial interests of the Government
the public health being of indefinitely more i'm
portance than the public revenue. But no such
protective supervision is exercised, either by the
central power at Washington or by the State Gov
ernments The Internal Revenue Assessors and
Collectors simply demand their tax, knowing moth.
ing ofthe wholesomeness ofthc article upon which il
islevicd; the Customhouse Collectors insist pay
ment of the duties required by law on imported iq-
uors, but how much or how little foreign poison
there may be in each cask puncheOn, it is not
their business to ascertain. Congress seems to have
entirely overlooked its function ofpublic protection
in legislating the liquor question. State Legisa.
lures have been equally remss. Many Of them
have tried prohibition and failed. No one Of them,
so far aware. has cndeavored to mitigate
the evils ofwhich they have all complained, BY in
stituting rigid system Of inspection. We should
be glad to such system adopted an expert
mcnt. 1t would at least prevent unprincpled deal
ers from palming Oft upon the working classes, to
an unlimited extent, the frey fluids which fill our
jails, poor-houscs. hospitals, lunatic asyums, and
innumerable graves with miserable victims. Were
such a regulation in foree We should have no need
