SPECIAL NOTICES.

How HOstetter's BitteFs cures Dyspepsia,
THE WHOLE STORY IN A NUTsHELL.-The office Of
the stomach is to convert the food into eream-ike
semi-huid, called Chyme. This is effected partly
by the action of solvent, called the gastric juice
which exudes from the coating of the stomach, and
partly by a mechanical movement Of that organ,
which churns, as it were, the dissolving ailment.
The Chyme passes from the stomach into the duo
denum, or entrance to the bowels where it is sub
jected to the action Of the bile, and the nutritious
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 no. produced in sufficient quanti-
ty, or if the mechanical action of the stomach is
not sufficiently brisk, the first process of digestion
will be but impeIfectly performed. 1t is also clear
that if the liver, which plays such an important
part in changing the nourishing portion of the
ehyme into the material of the blood is congested
or 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 invigorate the
cellular membranes of the stomach, which evolves
the gastric juice, thereby insuring an ample suf-
cheney of the fluid to completely dissolve the food
They also act upon the nerves of the stomach, /,
causing an acceleration of the mechanical move
ment necessary to reduce the food to homoge-
neous mass. They also act specifically upon the
liver Strengthening it, and so enabling it to pro-
duce an ample and regulor 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 debris.
In this way, HOSTETTER'SB BTTTERS cure dys-
pepsia and liver complaint. The explanation is
plain, simple, philosophical, and true.

The Deep Toned Obituaries, written
on the death OF summer, which have been so
beautifully scattered through the pages Of
different newspapers, would, from their
touching pathos, almost lead one to believe
that the last summer had finally passed into
the eternity of seasons, and future time was
to drag its dreary hours through enduring
winter The wind, as it comes shrieking to
our ears, is dancing melody to the wailing
and signing breathed forth in the spirit of
these numerous reflections, which have found
expression in phrases dripping with mOurnful
pity. Verse, that died with its author, has
been resuTected, and poetry, that remains
the only existing relic of the 'old family al
mansc, all have been caught up, in the
eager contest of writers, 10 see who can tune
the saddest song, and approach the nearest
to positive despair, without touching it; any
one of which, would satisfy the burning pas
sions of an elegist. The reason which sue
ceeds the flashing thought, clears the sky of
all these clouds. The setting sun of expir-
irg summer, may leave shade of sadness,
but other summers will sucreed the winters,
with the morning light Of autumn,is ushered
in a vigor which was lost in the heat of sum-
mer; the piercing winds revive the latent en-
ergies, which wilted and lay dormant in the
summer sun. The faded Leaf, dying in the
arms Of mature autumn, furnishes an illust1a-
ton which becomes iOrcibly impressive and
mingled with sadness when applied to GER
tain conditions OF life. Yet, in the light of
reason, we turn from the receding season
to its incoming successor, and are greeted
with new life, while, in the succeeding
changes, we recognize a wise necessity.

What Next. - Another phase Of
womaus lights comes to light with the in
augural of the new custom in st. Louis.
Wien a young man enjoying state of
single blessedness, is taken sick in that city
it is customary for some yOung lady to vol
unteer to take charge OF the afflicted iudi-
vidual, who, upon his return to health is
expected to share the remainder of his life
with this angel of mercy, and if the restored
refuses to comply, his attention is directed
to the statue OF social customs in St Louis,
where he fuds himself liable to a suit for
breach of marriage promise. The penalty
must be paid, and it is only a question of
taste with the young man as to which alter
native he will accept
