The Mason g. Hamlin Organ Co.

The Mason & Hamiin Organ Co.
In the course of less than twenty years this
Company have grown from very small be-
ginning, to be the most celebrated and extern
sive makers of instruments Of the Organ and
Melodeon kind in the world, producing and
finding demand for several times as many in :
struments as any other makers. Four large
elephant tusks must be cut up every week to
supply them with ivory for keys; so they
must be said to consume two elephants Per
week. Their Organ ranks highest. not only
in this country, but also in Europe, where the
demand for them is rapidly increasing.
| This remarkable success is undoubtedly ow-
| ing greatly to their superior skill in this
speciality and to the very important improve
ments they have effected in this class of in
strum3 nts but it is the result, almost in
| equal measure, perhaps, of adherence to, and
| energetic pursuit of certain principles, In
| best work only, awaiting themselves of every
improvement, and being careful to suffer no
| inferior instrument to leave their factory and
| ~ to sell always at smallest remunerative
profits, having fixed prices which are alike to
all.
| Any one buying an Organ made by this
| Company has the satisfaction of knowing tina t
he has one of the best instruments of the class
which can be made and this at the lowest
price at which such work can be afforded. 1t

TTOW HOsTETTER's BITTERs CURE
DYSPEPSIA TEE WHOLE STORY In

"OW HOSTETTER'S BITTERS CURE
i'll DYSPEPSIA-THE WHOLE STORY IN A
NUTSHELL. The office of the stomach is to convert
the food into a cream-like semi fluid, called
cHYME. This is effected partly by the action of
solvent, called the gastric juice, which exude
from the coating of the stomach, and partly by a
mechanical movement of that organ, which
churns, as it were, the dissolving aliment. The
| chyme passes from the stomach into the duode-
| mum, or entrance to the bowels, where it is sub
Jected to the action of the bile ard the nutritious
portion of it converted into fluid called chyle,
which eventually becomes blood.
Now, it is evident that it the great solvent, the
gastric juice, is not produced in sufficient guam
tty, if the mechanical action of the stomach is
not sufficiently brisk the first process of digestion
will be but imperfectly performed tits also clear
that if the Ii rer, which plays such important
part in changing the nourishing portion of the
chyme into the material of the blood is cengested,
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
membrane OF the stomach, which evolves the gas
trio juice thereby insuring ample sufiiciency
of the fluid to completely dissolve the food. They
also act upon the nerves OF the stomach, causing
an acceleration of the mechanical movement ne
cessary to reduce thefood to homogeneous mass.
They also act specifically upon the liver, strength
ening it, and 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. Hostettel's Bitters cure dyspepsia
and live- complaint The explanation is plain
simple, philosophi cal, and true. nov 4

Young. Also sovereign remedy for asiatic chol

This medicine is the Iesuft of much study, re-
Election, patient research, and close observation
at the bedside of the sick, combined with an ac-
cu1ate knowledge of the different articles of the
Materia Nfedica which enter into its composition,
1t has no equal in the rapidity with which it

TO children or grown persons.
The uniform success which has attended the use
of this medicine, its salatary effect its power to
relieve and speedily cure 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 It's 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 eHectual 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 eases where other
remedies had proved unavailng, and by the
daily increasing demand for it accompanied with
certificates of its truly wonderful effects.
Asiatic cholera almost always begins with diar
rhea--frequently slight tnat the patient is not
aware of any danger. This is the time for action

Fertilizers.

We publish in this Issue a receipt for the
manufacture of fertilizer which we have no
doubt will prove 10 be good. The present
price of wheat does not Justify our farmers in
expending money for phosphates. If the poll
cy of preparing their own fertilizer were adop-
ted by the farmers, we feel assured that they
would realize as good crops, and would prob
ably have their land, in better condition. Il
is at least worth trial. The purchase OF
fertilizers at the present high prices is attend
ed with little profit to the farmer, and is Ger
family an injury to the entire community.

As our town authorities are disposed to
purchase a fire engine, we would suggest the
propriety of converting the town hall into an
engine house. The financial condition of the
corporation certainly demands the greatest
economy. The town hall is better suited for
an engine house than for any other purpose,
and by adopting this place, they would save
several hun bred dollars.
