My child, aged Eve years, had scarlet fever,
and for five days had constant fever. By order
of the doctor gave her syrup of rhubarb; she
took nearly pint, but her bowels continued
closed. On the fifth day the Doctor said her
DO wells must be opened she would be lost,
proposed Brandreth's Pills; to this he would not
consent-saying she was to weak. / consulted
with my husband, and we concluded to give her
three pills. In about four hours they ope ated,
filling half full a com mon chamber. After that
operation the fever left her, and she rapidly re
covered. Reference, zoo Clermont Av. Brooklyn

A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too intimately allied for the one to
suffer without the other, so that dyspepsia and
dependency are inseparable. 1t may be add
ed, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation of the
temper.
The invigorating and tranquillizing opera
ton of Hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully
developed in cases of Indigestion. The first eff
feet of this agreeable tonic is comforting and
encouraging. A mild glow pervades the sys-
tenn, the chronic uneasiness in the region of the
stomach is lessened, and the nervous restless
ness which characteriZes the disease is abated.
It is not succeeded by the return Of the old
symptoms with superadded force, as is always
the case when unmedicated stimulants are given
for the complaint. Each dose seems to impart
permanent accession of healthful inauguration.
But this is not all. The aperient and antibili-
GUS properties of the preparation are scarcely
secondary in Importance to its tonic virtues
If there is an overflow of bile the secretion is
soon brought within proper limits, and it the
bileary organ is inert and torpid it is toned and
regulated. The effect upon the discharging or
gans is equally salutary, and in cases OF constr
patton the cathartic action is just sufficient to
produce the desired result gradually and with
out pain. The Bitters also promote healthy
evaporation from the surface which is particu-
larly desirable at this season when sudden spells
of raw, unpleasant weather. are apt to check
the natural perspiration and produce conges-
ton of the liver, coughs and colds. The best
safeguard against all diseases is bodily Uigor, and
this the great Vegetable Restorative essentially
promotes

The Cost OF Obtaiping Chinese Laborers in
China.
The San Frsnci|c Buuetin Of a recent d,

The San Frsnsi Bulstin Of recent date
gives some facts ana figures concerning con-
tracing for Chinese laborers in China. The
"Planters' Association" at Honolulu sent an
agent to China to engage Chiuese for sugar
plantations. He FIRST went to Hong Kong
and was instructed to pay six dollars per
month, suudry expenses and passage. He
reports 90 little difficulty in engaging labor
ers, and that the prices asked exceed the plan
ters' figures, owing to the demand for Callao
and for account of American parties. The
colonial government of Hong Kong forbids
the shipment Of contract" men, and after
trying there and at several other places he
went to Macao, but failed there also, because
Of the high prices demanded. He returned
to Hong Kong, and after much trouble finally
succeeded in engaging cargo, but at prices
which it is thought will not warrant repcti-
ton of the experiment.

Immigration to Maryland.

Mayor Banks. DR.. w. S. Mcpherson, Com
missioner of Labor and immigration, and
Bernard Gilpin, Esq, President of the Inter-
national Immigrant Union of Maryland. have
issued call to the citizens of Maryland for
the assembling of Convention in Baltimore
on the 18th of December to consider measures
for encouraging immigration to Baltimore and
the State at large The call for the Conven-
ton is as follows:
baltimore November 16, 1870.
"The very important question Of encourage
ing immigration to the State of Maryland has,
for a long time, been matter of solicitude to
our citizens. While nearly every State in
this Union is making the most energetic effors
to develope its wealth by the introduction OF
agriculturists. mechanics and other laborers.
Maryland is considerably behindhand-partly
on account of the want Of funds for this pur-
pose, partly on account Of the want Of pop
nlar management Of an institution exclusively
intended to benefit the State.
"The municipality Of Baltimore, fully ap-
preciating the importance Of immigration to
this State. has voted liberal amount of mo-
ney for this purpose and the International
Immigrant Union, consisting of private gen.
tlemen who haveAlready devoted their means
and best efforts to-promote this important en-
terprise, now direct a call to the citizens OF
Maryland to meet them in Convention on
Tuesday, the 18th Of December, at twelve O.
clock NJ, for the purpose Of thoroughly reor-
ganizing the Society to carry out this all-im-
portant object, and to give fresh life and
character to the organization they have in
view. They solicit especially the cooperation
of the farmers in all sections of the State
they call upon all to join hands with them for
the purpose Of establishing upon firm and
solid basis this association, having for its OBJ
ject the introduction of white laborers so much
needed in our State. The help of every citi.
zen is desirable, so that very soon all of our
waste lands may be transformed into produc-
tive fields, and the general welfare of the State
be improved.
eve expect to see representatives OF every
county Of our beloved State attend the Con-
vention. Let every man look to his interests
and those Of the Common wealth, and attend
on Tuesday, December 18th, 1870, at twelve
O'Clock noon, at Raine's Hall, corner Balti-
more street and Postofice avenue.

This circular was adopted at meeting oil

Of encouragement, and We join with the sign
ers Of the above call in the hope that every
county iu the State will be represented at the
meeting, and such action will be had "that
