low fever is to sap the springs of life event
ually as any acute disease il not checked by invig
Grating medication. There is something inexpres-
sby touching in the spectacle of premature decay.
Languor, paor, emaciation depression ofspirits,
and distaste for exertion, are its ordinary symp-
toms, and they should be promptly met by tonic
treatment The best invigorant and exhiarant
can Oe administered in a of this kind is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. The stimulating princi-
pie of the preparation rouses the dormant energies
of the system, and the strengthening and regulat-

The failing appetite is re-awakened, the process of
digestion and assimilation is quickened, the quail

more natural, and every organ that contributes to

change. By these means the repair of the physi-
cal structure is effected and its health and vgor
restored. In no class of diseases has the benfcent

WHAT NIGHT POSSIBLY OCCUR IN
TIE IRON BUSINESS.

A correspondent of tho Cincinnati
Chronicle writes to that paper few
comments on the action OF Congress in
reducing the duty in foreign iron. He
maintsinS that all that is wanted to Kill

tho United States is to admit. as is pro
posed, Nova Scotia coal free Of duty.
In that event, he says:
I'VE would lave at the seabotd ports
