TTOw HosTETTER's BlTTERs CURE

DYSPEPSIA.-THE WHOLE STORY IN A
NUTSHELL. The office of the stomach is to convert
the food into a cream-lke semi fluid, called
cHYME. This is effected partly by the action of a
solvent. called the gastric juice, which exude
from the coating of the stomach, and partly by a
me ehanical movement of that organ, which
churns, as it were, the dissolying aliment The
chyme passes from the stomach into the duode-
mum, or entrance to the bowels, where it is SUBJ
portion of it converted into fluid called chyle,
which eventually becomes blood
Now, it is evident that if the great solvent, the
gastric juice, is not produced in sufficient guam
tity if the mechanical action of the stomach is
not sufficiently brisk, the first process of digestion
will be but impeffectly performed. 1t is also clear
that if the lifer, which PLAYS such an important
part in changing the nourishng portion of the
chyme into the material of the blood is congested,
in any unnatural condition, the second process
will not be thoroughly accomplished. The result
of the two failures is dyspepsia, complicated with
biliousness.
The mode in which Hostetter's Bitters operate
in such cases is this: they invgorate the cellular
membrane OF the stomach, which evolves the gas
trio juice, thereby insuring ample suiticiency
also act upon the nerves of the stomach, causing
an acceleration of the mechanical movement ne
cessary to reduce the food to a homogeneous mass.
They also act specifically upon the liver strength
ening it, and SO enabling it to produce ample
and regular supply OF bile, for the purpose of
converting the nutritious particles of the chyme
into chyle, and promote the passage through the
bowels of the useless de bris.
In this way, Hostetter's Bitters cure dyspepsia
and ive- complaint. The explanation is plain,
simple ,philosophi cal, and true. nov 4

DR. GALLUP'S COMPOUND SYRUP OF

nR. GALLUP'S COMPOUND SYRUP OF
IL BRlER ROOT-The most safe and effcac-
ious remedy known for dysentery, diarrh9a
cholera morbus, cholera infantnm, summer COM
plants, and weak and relaxed bowels of old and
Young Also sovereign remedy for asiatic chol-
era in its inst stages.
This medicine is the result of much study, re-
Election. patient research, and close observation
at the bedside of the sick, combined with an ac-
curate knowledge of the different articles of the
Materia Medica which enter into its composition,
1t has no equal in the rapidty with which it
cures the most obstinate cases, as well as slight
attacks of the above-named distressing and dan
gerous complaints. 1t is purely vegetable re-
NEEDY, ard contains deloterlous or dangerous
substances whatever; the greatest care being
taken in compromising it to obtain an article
which will cure speedily and leave the stomach
and bowels in healthy condition. Being per-
fectly pleasant, mild safe and eectual in its OPP
Grafton, it may be given with equal advantage
TO children or grown persons.
The uniform success which has attended the use
of this medicine, its salutary effect, its power to
relieve and speedily the diseases above
named, of which under The ordinary mode OF
treatment many thousands die annually, has in
duced me to offer it to the public with entire
confidence in its efficacy, believing that its gen.
eral use among families would deprive summer
complaints and kindred diseases of all their hor-
rors, and physicians would not lose one patient
in five hundred cases, but would, by. using this
medicine, perform effectual cures in one-fourth
the time required by the usual method of treat
ment. These are conclusions arrived at from
knowing the results of its use during the last
twenty years in hundreds of cases where other
remedies had proved unavailing, and by the
dali; increasing demand for it accompanied with
certificates of its truly wonderful effects.
Asiatic cholera almost always begins with diar-
frequently slight That the patient is MOI
aware of any danger. This is the time for action,
the time when the diseases may be c0unteracted.
A few doses of the Brier Syrup stops the diar-
rhea and restores the stomach and bowels to a
healthy condition. In the more advanced state
of this disease, and in violent cases of cholera
morbus, the vomiting and purging is almost i'm
mediately subdued by the use of the syrup alone.

INDIAN SUMNER The New York Farm

he warm. smokey spell known as
Indian summer, which is perhaps more
peculiar to the Northeastern States Of
America than to any other portion of the
globe, always occurs after the first killing
frost, not the first white frost but one
which is severe enough to bring down
nearly all the forest leaves and kill the
herbaceous plants. The bulk of vegeta-
ton thus destroyed is almost in calculable
In its decay this is undergoing slow com
bustion. Who can calculate the amount
of smoke and heat given off, or what
effect this must produce upon the atmos-

cause of Indian summer In support of
this theory, the fact Is pateus that when
forests we're much more extensive the In
