A BETTER ToNIc THAN QUTNINE. Cali
saya bark of the primest quality is a
prominent ingredient of Plantation Bit
tiers. With it are combined the juices
and extracts of variety of aperient,
anti-bilious, anti-spasmodic and anti
septic vegetable substances, and these
properties are conserved and rendered
diffusible by the pure spirit of the sugar
cane-the most genial and harmless OF
all stimulants; but this inestimable bark
is, after all the most important medical
agent contained in the Bitters. In the
various complaints for which quinine is
prescribed, Plantation Bitters may be
given with the certainty of producing all
the good effects claimed by the faculty
to result from the use of that dangerous
alkaloid, without the fear of any subse-
quent evil consequences. The entire
harmlessness of the Bitters is guaran-
teed the testimony on this point, from
the highest sources, being conclusive.

THE ROMAN PoNTIFF.

Pope Plus TX, the venerable head OF
the Catholic Church, has issued protest
against the occupation of the Eternal
City by the Italian troops tits docu-
ment of great length, and recites the in
juries done to the Church by this inva-
sion Of Victor Emanuel The prayers OF
the faithful are earnestly invoked in the
cause of the Church. The great ban of
accommodation is threatened against
all aiding and abetting in the occupation
of the Papal States by the Italians. In
response to this terrible protest, thou
sands Of protests from Bishops through
out the world continue to flow in. 1t
must be remembered that Victor Eman-
uel and his troops are all Catholics,
and that the occupation Of the Eternal
City, while it disposes of the temporal
power of the Pope, unites Italy, with
Rome for its center. Temporal power
only gives strength when it is fully sus-
tanned by physical force For years the
temporal power Of the Popes amounted
to nothing. while it was q constant
source Of annoyance to the ruling Pom
tiff So far from adding strength, the
temporal power was source of weak.

Italy has been the dream Of the Italian

European complications, and can give
his whole time and attention to the
spiritual guidance of the millions Of
people belonging to the church in every

ever may be the result to the church, it
is no doubt determined for years to come
that Rome must be the capital Of united
Italy.

provinces Of France, which il is said the
Prussian King viii claim as the spoils
OF war, are situated on the cast side

Lorraine is about 100000 and that Of
