Is a blessing vcuchsafeA to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to neg
lect the precautions necessary to preserve these
precious endowments. Indeed, as rule, the
more healthy and robust man u, the
more liberties he is inclined TO take with hisoWn
physique. 1t is some consolation to the natl-
rally weak and feeble 10 know that they can
be so invigorated and built up, BY proper use
of the means which science has placed at their
disposal, az TO have much better chance Of long
life and exemptions from diseases and pain,
than the most athletic of their fellows who are
foolish enough to suppose Themselves inVulnefa-
bic, and act accordingly.
tits not too much to say that more than
half the people of the civilized world need an
occasional tonic, to enable them to support the
strain upon their bodies and minds, which the
fast life of this restless age occasions. In tact
pure, adolescence unezciti'1g tonic is the grand
of the busy millions, and they have

impsrts permanent strength to weak systems
and invigorstes delicate constitutions. Its rep
utation and its sales have steadily increased
preparations have been introduced
ad tbittn, and, as far as the public is concerned,
Gd staxse,tHs, in the hope of rivalingit; but
they have ali either persisted in the attempt, or
been left far ia the rear. 1t has been the great
medical success Of the present century, and It IS
quite certain that proprietary medicine in this
country is as widely known, or as generally
used.

WAR AT HoME.-Offensive warfare is waged
byJ P. Dromgoole 4 Co, of Memphis, Tenn,
upon nearly eli Patent Medicine men. They
Immediately throw shot and shell and charge
into the very ranks of their adversaries Messrs.
Droingoole & Co., being physicians OF long
bedside experience, CLAIM the right TO prescribe
and prepare incidence for family use, and deny
that right to all others who are not regular
physicians. Their remedies are highly rec
commended by the medical profession, by drug
gists and the public generally, and if good evil
dence is any sign they can boast Of having the
best class of medicines before the American
public. Read the advertisement headed "Great

Let us have Peace.

Having now become a perma-
nent institution of the place,
our past experience teaches us
that large sales and small profits
are better than small sales and
large profits. We again solicit
the patronage that has been SO
literally extended to US, and
would warn our friends and Gus
toners not to be humbugged with
the idea that because we sell goods
cheaper than others, that they are
of inferior quality. We challenge
comparison of brands, and will
then sell from ten to fifteen per
cent. lower than those who cry
"wolfl wolf" Very respectfully,

There is no mistake about it, PLANTATION
BIrTERs will ward of Fever and Ague and all
kindred diseases, if used in time. No family
need suffer from this distressing complaint If
they will keep PLANTATION Buffers in the
house, and use it according TO directions. The
most important ingredient of this medicine is
Calisaya or Peruvian Bark, which is known
10 be the finest and purest tome in the vegeta-
bic kingdom. The extract of this Bark, is the
active principle of all the good Fever and Ague
Medicines prescribed by intelligent doctors
Calisaya Bark is used extensively in the manu-
facture of PLANTATION BITTERs, as: well as
quinihe, and we dare say they owe their popu-
lArity mostly to that fact. We can recommend
them.

BEER /

T1NHE Commissioner Of Agriculture, in his report
J. for the year 1855, speaks as follows: Ss'ls.,
There can be no doubt of the general adulte-
ration Of all maltliquors. In England and other
countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and
an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and
punish such frauds, by system of inspection of
sale, the practice is very common. How much
moro in this country, whore there are no laws on
the subject and no officer to carefully analyse the
products of the brewery? Some years ago, Pro-
fessor Mapcs, of New York, analyzcd the beer
from u dozen different brewerics, and all were
found atlultcratcd with noxions substances Itis
said that tho sale of drugs tn brewers is proft-
able part of the trade. This is perfectly Infamous
Cocculus indicus, t!ish berry lux vomica (dog-
button, from which Strychune is obtained are
some of the dclectahlc substances found in beer!
These are potent posons, and the brewer found
using them shoad bc drowned at once in one of
his OWN watts. The British Parliament passed n
law to prevent tlis ncfurlo,ls business The fol-
lowing is an extract: NO druggist, vendor of or
dealer in drugs, %. chemist. any other person.
shall sell or deliver 10 any licensed brewer dealer
i'll or retailer OF beer knowing them to DO such,
or shall sell or deliver to any person on account
Of. or il. trust for. any such brewcr u, or re-
taller, any liquor called by the :. d.. ODD. sold for
bo made; or any material or preparation other
than unSround brown malt for the darkening the
color OF worts or beer, or any molasses, vtrol
honey. quassia cocculus ndicus, grains of para
disc, Guinea pepper, or opium. or any extract or
preparation of molasscs. or any article propa-
ration to be used in worts beer for or as q sub
stiutc for malt or hops; and if any druggist shall
offend i'll any of these particulars. such prepara-
ton, &c, shall be forfeited, and may DO seized by
any officer of excise and the person DO offending
shall forfeit .fge hundred pountis'
Under tins law, very many druSgis:s and brew
ers were brought to grief, and yet the practice
continues. Unless the American public are ready
