THE VIRGINIA SPRINGS.

The Springs season is now about over, and,
nearly all the visitors having returned to their
homes, the watering places are forcibly sugges-
tive of banquet halls deserted
/ These seasons should be twice as long as they
are, and should extend from the LIST of June to
the 18th of October. We think that visitors, after
they learn how delightful the temperatures, and
how beautiful is the scenery at the watering
places in this State in the months of September
and October, will conclude to remain till the 10Th
of October. The weather is sometimes delightful
till late in November. In spite of the short sea-
son. some of the Springs we know, did well, and
we hope all did so.

DAKER'S PREMIUNIs BITTERS.-

I'D Vegetables, &C., are generally used freely
by all classes of society," without regard to conse-
quences, and this has caused and will continue to
cause a great deal OF sickness. We know of
many families that are never troubled with dis
ordered stomach, bowels cholera morbus or dys-
EMERY, &C.. and yet they adopt no means to pre-
vent it, except that they regularly use Baker s
Premium Bitters." A gentleman told us that he
believed these Bitters positive cure for all
disordered bowels in several cases he had test
ed them. We personally acquainted with
some families who say they would soon be
without their regular meals as to be destitute of
Bakers Btters; they say if their children are the
least sick they give them small quantities thro'
the day, according to age, and these Btters will
give reaction to the whole system. The prop
er functions of nature must be kept regularly at
work, otherwise sickness ensues. We would adj
wise all persons who are strangers to the great
virtues of Bakers celebrated Premium Bitters,
to lose no time in giving them fair trial. They
will thus become satisfied of their true value
We were told by physician a few days since,
that it was the best tonic ever invented in this
country He said he had been attending large
family in the country for five or six years, which
was worth from $50 to 500 per annum, but he
had recommended them to use Bakers Bitters
about two years ago, which proved so very efica-
cious that they had never sent for him since, nor
had any physician been wanting in that family
but they use the Bitters whenever they are re-
quired. The public can at once see the great sa-
wing in money, as well as time. by the moderate
use of this all-healing tonic. KichnonG Enquirer.

Much has been done and is doing to prepare
for the next Fair, and if Fifteen Hundred Dol

can be completed by the time appointed.
