THE CHICAGO REPUBLICAN has
been collecting and publishing reports from
all sections of the Northwest, in regard to
the condition and prospects of the crops. At
this crisis in the growth of grain. this mass
OF information, which comes direct from the
farmers themselves, is of great value and
int rest; and the enterprise displayed by
the REPUBLICAN in collecting it, is only
another evidence of the interest it takes in
all that pertains to the welfare of the great
Northwest. The Republican is always wide
awake in providing a first class paper in all
respects, and we heartily commend it to our
readers who desire metropolitan journal.

Let not Preiudloe ususp xorr Reason


Let not Prejudice ususp your Reason.
1t is a fact that, in the minds of many
persons, prejudice exists against what are
called patent medicines but why should
this prevent you resorting to an article that
has such an array of testimony to support it
as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS?
Physicians prescribe it; why should you
discard it? Judges usually considered
men of talent, have used and do Fuse it in
their families why should you reject it?
Let not your prejudice usurp your reason to
the everlasting injury of your health. II
your are sick, and require a medicines, try
these Bitters
When the bodily energies are worn out
by anxiety and need a stimuant, this is the
best that ca II be taken. 1t is tempered and
modified by hygienic herbs androots, which
prevent it from fevering blood and hence
it does not produce mere temporary excite
ment.sto be followed by injurious reaction,
but communicates q permanent potency to
the entire vital organization. Some of its
herbal constituents are slightly soporihc, so
that in cases where sleeplessness IS one OF the
Accomplishments of nervous disease, dose
of it taken towards bedtime will tend to pro-
duce quiet and refreshing slumber. For
palpitation of the heart tremors, Mysteries,
faintng fits, general restlessness and the
causeless fears and distressing fancies to
which ladies are especially subject, under
certain morbid conditions ofmind and body
peculiar to their sex, the Bitters will be
found the most agreeable and certain of all
counter-irritannts.
The constitutionally nervous may readi-
| ly keep their infrmity in constant cheek by
the daily use of this healtbful vegetable ton
| ic and those who have shattered theil
nerves. as the phrase is, either by imprud
/ ent INDULGENCE or undue physical or iatellec-
tual labor, will find in this vitalizing elixil
