Hxplosion.-On Monday evening last an
explosion occurred in the Drug store of j. .
7. Lanman d Co., of a singular character.
A Jug of nitric acid and turpentiue, equal
parts, had been filed and set near the back
door, and the cork left out as precaution.
The prOprietOrs and several others were
gathered around the stove, when all at once
an explosion occurred, of considerable force.
and Mr.. LanmaR, who was sitting with his
back towards tho door, was struck on the
head with piece Of the jug, which cut into
the skull, Another piece of the Jug was
thrown upon shelf near the ceiling, about
twenty five feet of, and broke three glass
jars, The door of small cupboard against
which the jug sat, was broken by the force
Of the explosion, and several pieces of the
Jug made bruises elsewhere about the room.
Of course the explosion created a stir. but
We are glad to say no serious damage was
done, The cause Of the explosion cannot be
assigned, a' every precautiou had been taken
to provide against it. The same ingred ieuts
bad been mixed in the same way numbers of
times before, but nsver before manifested an
explosive character. .-;

Do ROtTriae with DangeF,-A single spark
may kindle fame that VIII consume a city, and
small ailments neglected, may end in fatal dis
orders. Bearing this fact in mind, let the first
symptoms of debility or nervous prostration be
met promptly with i1vigOrating treatment, Fore
most among the vegetable tOnics Of the age stands
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERs, and when
ever the vital powers seem to anguish or there is
any reason to suspect that the animal functions es-
sentiaI to the sustenation and publication of the
body are imperfeetly performed. this valuable in
Eigoraut and antiseptic should at once be resorted
10. Indigestion always produces weakness Of the
bodily powers. Sometimes it happens that the ap
petite demands more food than the stomach can di-
gest; though not more than is required to keep up
the full strength of the frame. The object, under
such circumstances to increase the digestive ca
pacity Of the assimilatsPg organ so as to make it
equal to the duty imposed it by the appetite and
capable Of supplying the building material of the
system as fast as it is required This object is full
ly accomplished by the use Of the Bitters. They
tone and gently stimulate the cellular men,
brane which secretes the gastric juice and the re-
suit is that the solvent is mingled with the food in
sufficient quantity to convert all its nourishingpar-
ticles into pure and wholesome element If, on the
other hand, there is deficiency of appetite, with
out any corresponding deficiency Ofdigestive power
the effect of the tonic is to stimulate desire for
food. In nineteen cases out of twenty, headache,
nausea, nervousness, faintinghts spasms, and, in
deed, most of the casual aches and pains to which
humanity is subject, proceed primarily from indi-
gestion complicated with biliOusness; and for both
these complaints HOstetters's Stomach Bitters are
recommended as speedy and certain remedy.
