Mr.. Robt. Ridgway, the Representative in
Congress from the Fifth District 10 Virginia,
in reference to the absence of his name from the
list of signers to the address, lately issued by
the Conservative and Democratic members of
Congress, writes as follows:
THE only earthly reason why my name is not
found attached to the address, is because [ was
not present at the second caucus; having left
Washington on the morning Of the evening it
was held [ attended the first caucus, and was
the only member from Virginia present nei-
Their Senator johnson nor any one else being
there. At the first caucus, no allusion to the
publication of an address was made by any one,
and presume it was only determined upon at
the second meeting.
[ did not suppose that even the absence of
my signature to that address, or any other
minor circumstance, could possibly raise doubt
10 the mind of any man iu Virginia as to my
political position. My votes at least viii show
where I stand and certainly have never hes
itated to avow my detesation of Radicalism at
all hours Of the day and night, and IN every
place. If there is a man Oh earth who hates
and contemns the vile thing worse than do,
do not know where he could be found. =

1.-The weak eateth herbs' says St Paul. so
that eighteen hundred years ago the value OF
medicinal plants was appreciated. In the Old
Testament botanical remedies are repeat eddy re-
commended, but in no passage of sacred history
is man recommended to swallow calon1el. or blue
pill, or any other mineral preparation. The sicS
were directed to eat herbs to strengthen them, to
purify them, to heal them, to restore them. In
that day the art ofmaking vegetable extracts was
unknown. The herbal medicines were mere in
fusions.
1t was reserved for later age to unite the sani-
tary essences of tonic, aperient and ambitious
roots, banks, and plants, with an active stimulant
and thus secure their rapid diffusion through the
debilitated or dlsordered system. The browning
triumph of this effective mode of concentrating
and applying the virtues of medicinal vegetables
was achieved in the production of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Never before had perfectly
pure alcoholic stimulant been combined with the
expressed juices of the finest specifics of the veg
etable kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen
years have elapsed since its introduction has this
great restorative been equalled 1t is taken at all
seasons in all chimes, as the most potent safe
guard against epidemics, as a protection against
all unhealthy exhalations that produce debility
of beget disease as aremedy for intermittent and
other malarious fevers; an appetizer as a
sovereign cure for dyspepsia; as a general tonic
and invigorant; as gentle painless aperient; as
blood depurent; as a nervine; cure for
bilious affections as harmless anodyne; and as
the BEST DEFENCE OF HEALTH under unfavora.

The foreign and domestic demand for Perry
Davis & Sons great medicine-the Pain Killer
never before so large as it has been of late };
and we think the time has arriv ed when the dec
aration may be made, without the possibility of
refntation, that the city of Providence, in the
State of Rhode Island, of the United States of
America has furnished the entire habitable globe
with medicine, which, in point of universally
of demand, extent of usefulness, complete eff
cheney for all the purposes for which it is design
ed. and wide spread, enduring popularity, has
never been equalled by any medicine in Europe
or America.
The universally of the demand for Pain Kill
Ter, is novel; interesting, and surprising feature
in the history of this medicine. Its fame has
gone OUT into every quarter of the habitaDle
globe. The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in
large and steadily increasing quantities, not only
to general agents in every State and Territory of
the Union, and every Province of British Amer
lea, but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, Uruguay, Pc
ru, Chill and other South American States, to the
Sandwich Islands, to Cuba and other West India
Islands; to England and Continental Europe;
to Mozambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar and other
African lands to Australia and Calcutta, Ran
COON and other places in India 1t has also been
sent to China, and we doubt if there is any for
eign port or any inland city in Africa Asia,
which is frequented by American and European
missionaries, travellers or traders into which the
Pain Killer has not been introduced and been
sought after.
The erteat of ITS usefulness is another great
feature of this remarkable medicine It is not
only the best thing ever known, as everybody
will confess, for bruises cuts, burns &C., but for
dysentery or cholera, any sort of bowel con-
plant it is remedy unsurpassed for efficiency
and rapidity of action. In the great cities of
British India, and in the West India Islands and
other hot climates, it has become the standard
medicine for all such complaints, as well as for
dyspepsia, liver complaints and other kindred
disorders. For coughs and colds canker. asth-
ma and rheumatic difficulties, it has been proved
by the most abundant and convincing trials and
testimony, to be an invaluable medicine. The
propretors are in possession of letters from per-
sons of the highest character and responsibility
testifying, in unequivocal terms. to the eff
fected and the satisfactory results produced, in
almost endless variety of cases. by the use of this
great medicne.-Prou AdUertiser
