Hoofand's German Bitters,


Those who have no objection to the combina-
ton OF the Bitters, as stated, will use
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
They are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal viItues, the choice between the
two being mere matter of taste, the Tonic being
the most palatable.
The stomach, from a variety of causes such as
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility. etc. is
very apt to have its functions deranged. The
Liver sympathizing as closely as it does with the
Stomach, then becomes affected, the result of
which is the patient suffers from several or more
of the following diseases;
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles Fulness
OF Blood to the Head Acidity of the Stom-
ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for
Food, Fulness or Weight in the
Stomach, Sour Eructations,
Sinking or Fluttering

ach, Swimming of

ried or Difficult
Breathing, Fluttering

Dots or Webs before the Sight Dull
Pain in the Head, Deficiency of Perspiration,
fellowness of the Skin and Eyes, Pain in the
Side, Back, Chest Limbs etc. Sudden Flushes
OF Heat, Burning in the Flesh, Con-
slant lmaginings of Evil, and
Great Depression of Spirits.
The sufferer from these diseases should exercise
the greatest caution in the selection of remedy
for his case, purchasing only that which he is as
sured from his Investigations and inquiries, pos
scsses true merit, is sdlfully compounded is free
from injurious ingredients and has established
for itself reputation for the cure of these dseas-

We print another letter from Gettysburg
treating mainly of the proposed invitation OF
Confederate along with Union Generals to take
part in the purposed marking out of the posi-
tions of the several Corps, Divisions Brgades
Batteries, &C., at the most memorable crises
of the protracted, momentous struggle.
We are unable to realize that there should
be any controversy in the premises. The seve-
raj positions of the Union soldiers tell just half
the story, and (since they, for the most part,
stood on the defensve) not the half most Inn
portant to a correct, comprehensive view Of
the great contest. And, if it be desirable that
the Confederate positions should be correctly
ascertained and marked out, it is plainly essen
tial that those who designated, took, and held
(Or tried to hOld) those positions, should be In
vited to indicate them.
So far, there ought to be no dispute; but
our correspondent proceeds to foreshadow
general fraternizing and sympathizing between
the Union and the Confederate officers thus
called together which cannot be prearranged.
If they should see fit to fall on each others
necks, that is their own affair." with which the
outside public have simply nothing to do. We
trust the proper Committee will take care to
have all the positions of both armies clearly
traced and enduringly marked, and that to
this end those best qualified will be cOurteOusly
invited to Gettysburg and treated like gentle
men throughout their stay. All beyond this
were better left to personal impulse and un-
constrained choice

Dispatches from WashngtOn-bOth from our
own correspondent and those printed IN other
iournals-more than confirm all that we have
heretofore said concerning the happy effects re-
sulting from THE TRIBUNE's exposure OF the
manner in which the income tax is collected
The Internal Revenue Department claims to
have received already over one hundred thou
sand dollars, directly due to THE TRIBUNEs
influence, and it is in daily receipt of
letters giving information concerning de-
Enquents not yet brought to account. Among
remoter results of our exposure is the order
for q re-assessment in Washington, and the
notification to the Revenue officers of an IN
tention to demand a strict collection OF the
sums assessed. Altogether, the Treasury Is
many thousands of dollars the richer, officials
are in many ways the wiser, and the people
themselves are both better informed and slim
ulated to their duty, in consequence of our re-
markabe exhibits.

conviction is strong that the nominees of this

The worst case of desertion of which we
ever heard was the scandalous manner in
which Mrs. DR.. Maj. Mary Walker abandoned
the cause of woman the other day in Wash
ington She had been making one of her
periodical demands for office in the Treasury
Department. and on being refused burst into
tears. This is style of fighting which is
understood to belong exclusively to the softer
sex, and if the Major chooses TO resort to it,
we must take it for granted that she abandons
the more masculine styles Of warfare, and
pleads the privileges of her sex. This is aw-
full If Major Walker prove weak, where
shall strength be found1 But really, the women

do for them what death would do without

whether in such case the statute of limita-
