pRoPosITIoNs FOR ADvERTIs1Na.-We receive
by nearly every mail one or propositions
from Advertising Agents to insert advertisements
circulation. We pay no attention to them. Such
propositions do not deserve reply, and we do
not trouble ourselves to write any. We havejust
received proposition from the Office of Proctor
Brothers, Gloucester, Mass, manufacturers OF
s.Natures Hair Restorative" proposing to furnish
us three dozen bottles for publishing for one year
five inch advertisement, and in addition to pub
lish for the same time special notices changed
weekly.
We would live to be as bald as cold Uncle Ned"
or grey as badger before would agree to &C.
cept such propositions.
We mention this case by way of illustration,
merely, and not because it is more Objectionable
than many Others
!, We fully agree with our friend of the Staunton
Spectator that propositions are made by advertls-
ing Agents to insert advertisements at rates that
.'amount to an insult to papers of large circua-
tions p and as the VIRaINiAN properly comes I'M
der the head of ''papers oflarge circulation" and
happens to contain the identical advertisement
which is made an 'sllustration of merely" and
not wishing neighbor to think either
haven't got a large circulation, pocketed the
.Hair Restorative insult, and thanked the agent
to boot, we beg to be permitted to say, tina: we
get our regular rates, (S360o) for the advertise
ment in question.

FEMALE COMPLAINT,

That claims its victims throughout the length and
breadth of our land.
Many females in some way at each monthly
period; some girls are in great peril at the com
mencement of menstruation, while older ones
dread its decline at the turn of life" Some
times the menstrual flow is too mucn, or too little
or may be attended with pain; may be irregular
or entirely checked, or changed in appearance
attended with other distressing symptoms. Leu.
corrhea, or the Whites, y frequently drains the
system, or liberation of the womb may create
pain and cause rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly com
mon complaint. giving much trouble and distress
which, under ordinary treatment, is difficult te
cure
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritability of the
Womb and other serious and fatal complaints fol
low the female sex throughout life. Lives there
a medical gentleman who has or can relieve the
fair sex of the above troubles? Not many. Is
there no combination of remedial agents that
will come to her rescue? We answer, Yes.

DEATH AS AT THE DOOR.


In all these complaints the system evidently
shows want of red blood, and Mr.. Churchill, in
his work on Diseases Of Females, says ''Bear-
ing in mind that the blood is remarkably deficient
in red corpucles, and the known property of iron
to correct this condition, theory suggests it.sias
the most to be relied on the best of which is the
Citrate. Citrate of Iron enters largely into the
composition OF English Female Bitters, combined
with powerful vegetable tones of rare qualities
Among the mountains of Tennessee and the
piney woods of Mississippi, is found certain
hard and hinty root, which has been in secret use
by some old midwives for many years, possessing
magic powers in regulating and restoring all fe
males suffering with any affection of the womb
This root we have obtained gave it a fair test IN
our practice and it is now one Of the principle
Ingredients in these bitters. Other powerful
uterine and general tonics also enter into its com
position. We also add LePtandra or Black root
sufficient to act upon the liver and keep the bow
els open.

WHAT DOES REASON SAY /?

The little mongoose when bitten by deadly
serpent resorts to certain plant, eats of it, and
escapes the effect of the poison. That is instinct.
Human beings on the other hand, must depend
on reason and experience in selecting the means
of protecting health and life against the I'M
wholesome influences. Now, what does reason
say ON this vital subject? Does it not tell us that
to invigorate and purify the system is the best
way 10 protect it against the invisible poison
which generates disease? Surely it does. The
next question is what guide shall we follow in
choosing medicinal safeguard Reason replies
let your monitor be experience. Well. the ex-
perience Of eighteen years comprised in one I'M
broken series of satisfactory testimonials assures
us that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters possess
strengthening regulating and antiseptic proper
ties which are not combined in the same happy
proportions in any other preparation extant -
This therefore is the atidote to which reason
bids US resort when our health is imperriled

orders, or hy any other cause, whether inherent
and constitutional or connected with our habits

The venom of Il noxoa- reptile Is scarcely
more subtle and dangerous than that which Turks
