SUMMER PERILs-HOW TO ESCAPE
THEM.-It will not do to trifle with the health
in hot weather. Vigor oozes through the skin
at every pore, and it is by physical vigor only
that unhealthy influences can be baffied and
repelled. The vital elements are evaporated
in perspiration. Intense heat converts man
into self-acting pump, and the moisture that
is pumped out OF him is derived from the we'll
springs of life within him, There is a great
need, therefore, that these sources OF physical
strength should be in condition to bear,
without danger or Inconvenience, the extraor-
dinary drain. II they are not in such condi.
ton, the individual becomes languid and low
spirited.
The main thing is to keep the digestive ap-
paratus in good working trim; for if the sto-
mach, the purveyor of the system, does it's
duty thoroughly, the liver, the bowels, the
brain, and the nervous system, being duly
nurtured will be likely to do theirs In view
Of those facts, it is manifest that n powerful
and wholesome vegetable tonic like HOSTET-
TERS STOMACH BITTERS is especially re-
Quired at this enfeebling season. 1t is the most
admirable OF all c0rrectives and invigorants,
and for this reason-it does not over-stimulate
the system The proportions of aperient tonic
and stimu muating components are 80 judiciously
graduated, that the processes of invigoration
and publication go on simultaneously, and no
undue excitement is created in the circulation
or the brain. All unmedicated stimulants,
however pure, excite tho pulse and the nervous
system. Their exhilarsting effect is temporary,
and when it passes of, tho physical and men
tai depression they were employed to remove
returns in an aggravated form. But this is not
the case when HOSTETrER'S BITTERS are
taken as q stomachic and nervine. The med-
cinal herbs, roots and gums with which they
are impregnated neutralize the exciting prin-
ciple CT the rye spirit. which forms their basis,
and which is, in itself, the mos: wholesome of
all the varieties of alcohol july l6 re

Operatives can be had here for almost

The municipal authorities of Washing
ton, D. O., are on the verge of trouble
with their colored constituency, who, it
seems, are not satisfied with the corpo-
ration patronage they have received,
but, like Oliver, are bawling for more,
and have become so clamorous that the
Mayor and other corporation officials
are not only sorely annoyed, but they
sre somewhat puzzled as to the proper
course to pursue. The colored men saw
that it was their votes that elected the
present city government, and they init
mate that they will be satisfied with no
thing less than the lions share of the
spoils.
