The Great Medical Mistake

Of former days was an utter neglect of SAN
itary precautions. No efficient means were
adopted for the prevention Of sickness
Sewerage was unknown in in cities; drain
age was rarely attempted in the country
Heaps OF Otfal were left to rot in the public
streets, and domestic cleanliness, the great
antdote to febrile diseases, was sadly neg
lected. 1t is not SO now. Wise laws, phi
lanthropic institutions, and a vigilant sani-
tary police, have, in q great extent, remedied
the evil. Nor is this all. PREVENTIVE
MEDICATION has helped materially to lessen
the rates Of mortality. It is not too much
to say that TENS OF THOUSANDS escape, sick
ness in unhealthy seasons in consequence of
having INvIsoRATED THEIR SYSTEMS IN AD-
VANCE by course ofHOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BlTTERS. This pure aud powerful
vegetable tonic and Alternative comprises
the extracts and essences of n variety Of
roots and herbs, renowned for their strel 9Th
ening, soothing, vitali2ing and purifying
properties. These medicinal agents are in
corporated with a spirit absolutely free from
the acrid poison which defiles, more or less,
all the liquors of commerce, and their effect
is ditfused through the whole frame OF this
active, yet harmless stimulant The result
is such a condition of the system as renders
it alt bat ianperUi0us to the exterior causes OF
disease, such as damp, fog, sudden aiterna-
tons oftemperature. &c. Strength. and the
perfect regularity of all the functions of the
body, are the best safeguards against atmos
pheric poison and the effects of unwholesomt
water, and HOSTETTER'S BITTERS are
the best strengthening and regulating medi
cine at present known. For dyspepsia ant
biliousness they are a SPECIFIC ABSOLUTE.

OUR CROP REPoRTs.-We received
letter last week, too late for publication,
from prominent farmer in the county, and
an esteemed patron of the REPUBLICAN. crit
cisiug quite severely our report of the con-
dition OF the crops the week before. AS
proof that we had over estimated, he en-
closed number of heads Of wheat which
certainly showed very badly. But it appears
that he delayed sending his letter till he had
received our last weeks paper, and he adds
IN postscript, that he considers our report
IN that issue very accurate. We insist that
our report Of the week before was Just as
accurate for the time it was written a. tho
last one, and corresponded with the views
OF farmers at that time We do not intend
to speak of these matters haphazard, as it is
for the interest of all concerned that correct
reports should be made CT the crops. Farmers
are naturally jealous of all accounts of croD
prospects more favorable than the circuno-
stances warrant, as the influence of such
reports however small it may be, is 10 un-
duly depress prices; but on the other hand,
reports more unfavorable than the real facts
OF the case are, In the end, just as injurious
and should be as carefully avoided.
Our correspondent says: GAS to potatoes
in this region, some pieces are looking quite
well-and Others don't look at all, believe
their eyes are out, at least the tops are as
bare of leaves as poplar tree in mid winter
Barley may be an average in quantity, but
OF an inferior quality, though think it will
make most excellent Beer. for by the looks
of II, there must be large quantities of iron
incorporated in it, and hit is said to be
excellent for the blood, if not naked too
much with other poisonous ingredients.

city, to Miss KATE A. LOVE, daughter of

Rumors have been thickening of late,

We could fill the column with good words

that long life and happiness may attend him

THE ECLIPsE.-The much talked
of and long looked for eclipse of the sun
came off promptly at the time with no
waiting for spectators nor performers. As
the phenomenon progressed millions of fair
upturned noses, and many not so fair, were
smutted with lamp smoke or burned by
the rays of the diminished but not over
powered sun. Bushelsof smoked glass have
been thrown away as rub Dish, and many
stray pieces Turk on shelves and in out of
the way places, to come up at some future
day remi nding of the great astronomical
event Of the decade The moon played her
part well and, without any show of citation,
which the occasion might justify as pardon
able, hangs her horn in the western sky and
proceeds to business as if nothing unusual
had occurred. And SO tie eclipse has passed
now we are ready for the comet.

PERsoNAL.-Hon. L. Breesc of
Portage, prominent candidate for the Office
of State Treasurer, was in the city last
Wednesday, aud spent several hours with
old acquaintance, and in forming new ones
Mr.. Breese is q very pleasant, genial, straight
forward sort of man, q Welshman by birth,
and is supported in his aspirations by that
best of all encouragement, warm home en-
dorsement
On Thursday we had very pleasant call
from Hon. G. +. Wheeler the well known
Ex-senator from Fond du Lac, who is being
strongly urged by his fri ends for the position
OF States Prison Commissioner. Mr.. Wheel
cr's qualifications for the position are I'M
doubted.
Candidates abound this year-Mr. Henry
Baetz of Manitowoc, an aspirant for the
honors, profits and perils OF the State Treas
urer's office, was in the city one day last
week. We did not have the pleasure of sec
ing him.
Prof L. o. Thompson arrived in the city
last Wednesday, and expects soon to enter
upon the active discharge of his duties as
President of the Northwestern University.
Rev. Augustus Ernst of Albany, n. Y,
a graduate of Lottengen and Rostock, has
accepted a call to the university. Prof
Ernst is a classical scholar ofhigh reputation
and ability. He has made the study Of
Philology Q speciality. He will support the
practical tendency ofAmerican education by
the depth and thoroughness of German
scholarship. Great learning, q mature I'M
derstanding and love for the work unite to
make the interesting and instructive teacher,
end these traits are happily combined in
Prof. Ernst. He is 4 valuable acquisition
to the college and the city; we extend
him hearty welcome.

a HUMBUG-Ben. Franklin, the
| notorious printer and advocate Of early ris-
ing, promised the free and easy people OF
Paris the grandest sight they had ever
witnessed if they would come to prominent
place in the city at six o'clock in the morn
ing. An immense crowd gathered at the
time and place appointed but the only
"sight' the old .sthunder and lightning
bother" had for them was the sunrise. The
gay Parisians took the joke good humoredly
but continued to snooze on in the morning
as aforetime, and therein showed more sense,
we think, than the sarcastic Franklin. 1t
IS prevailing idea, in every community,
that early rising is q most commendable
practice, leading to health, wealth, wisdom
and other desirable ends, and none would
be more inclined to dispute an assertion to
the contrary than those addicted to it the
least. But in defiance of the horror which
our heretical notions may excite, we boldly
declare our belief that where necessity does
not compel it, getting out of. bed before
sunrise, with the idea that tbs early
morning is the best or most valuable part
the day, is utterly nonsenscal and absurd.
Not long since, having to take thu first
morning train, we were obliged to turn out
considerably earlier than eur conscience
ordinarily allows US to do. On the way to
the depot we met several advocates of early
rising, crawling along the street with
shoulders shrugged up, mouths, lungs and
clothes filed with fog, and feet wetwth dew,
yet evidently considering that they had
done good thing by getting out so early
and had started the day all right. We
could not help thinking, if they had lain in
bed little longer, till the sun had got fair
~ up and the day was ready for business,
and should work a little later at night, that
ould have been just as we'll for their pock-
cts, and far better for health and comfort.
The old saw, that s'the early bird picks up
the worm" proves nothing, as it Is the
s'early'' worm that gets picked up-and
that other oft repeate maxim, ''early to
bed and early to rise &c, contains wrcng
philosophy, we think. There are of course
many exceptional cases, but as general
rule, we believe that for work or play,
health, pleasure or profit, sunset is far better
than sunrise.

FRUIT AT WHOLESALE AND RETAIL
-Messrs. Woodland, Bro. s. Stone have been
appointed agents of one of the most extern
sive fruit companies in the country, for this
city and all points On the Lacrosse and
Sun Prairie Roads. By this arrangement
these gentlemen are enabled to offer apples,
peaches and other kind Of fruits in the very
best order, and at lower rates then is posi-
bic where obtained in any other way. The
fruit is collected at Chicago from the largest
and best orchards of Michigan, Northern
Indiana and Southern Illinois, and sent
out in cars, especially arranged for the pur-
pose, to their various agents. A car will
arrive here at nine o'clock each morning
and the fruit will be as fresh and in as
good order as if just taken from the orch
ards. Tomatoes, apples and peaches are
already offered for sale at their store on
| the west side. We congratulate all lovers
| of good fruit on this excellent arrangement

ExCHANGEs.-We have recently
added to our list of exchanges, two papers
which are always welcome to our table,
although both are red-hot advocates of the
opposite political faith. The Beaver Dam
Argus, published by Sherman and Gowdey,
is one-a near neighbor with which we
should have been more ncjshborly hereto
fore. We little thought the years ago when
we used to go to school with Gowdey that
we should ever see him in the editorial chair
of Democratic paper, but since it must be
so, we find consol alton in the fact that he
fills it well; "Daye" always has good local
column, and politically, he sends the best
shots the Democratic locker holds.
Our other exchange is the Express, pub
ished at Montello, small town, rather out
of the way we have always thought, located
off on the confines Of the "Indlan lands"
With no very remarkable county about it,
nor means of communica ton with the out
side world other than stage lines and the
Fox River in its present undeveloped condi-
ton afford. Yet the Express is a fine ex-
ample of how much good editor, with
clear head and ready quill can do to build
up paper of influence in the State-for such
itcannot be denied DR.. Pease's paper is and
has been ever since his connection with it
under circumstances not the most favorable.
If sufficient evidence of this fact had not
before existed, the recent general and violent
assaults of the champions of 's7oung De-
mocracy" upon the Doctor would furnish the
missing proof
