DEATH is AT THE DOOR.


In all these complaints the system evidently
shows a want of red blood, and Mr.. Churchill, In
his work on Diseases of Females, says: Bear
ing in mind that the bloodis remarkably deficient
in red corpucles, and the known property of iron
to correct this condition, theory suggests 1t as
the ost 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 tonics of rare qualities.
Among the mountains of Tennessee and the
piney woods of Mississippi, is found certain
hard and finty root, which has been in secret use
bv 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 fair test IN
our practice and it is now one of the principle
Ingredients in these bitters. Other powerful
uterine and general TONES 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 a 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 un-
wholesome influences. Now, what does reason
say on this vital subject? Does it not tell that
to invigorate and purify the system is the best
way to 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 un-
broken series of satisfactory testimonials
us that Hostetters 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 antidote to which reason
bids US resort when our health is imperrilled
either by malaria which produces epidemic dis
orders, or by any other cause, whether inherent
and constitutional or connected with our habits,
occupations and pursuits.
The venom of noxious reptile is scarcely
more subtle and dangerous than that which turks
in the FOUL air and impure water. To escape the
fevers, bilious disorders, disturbances of the
bowels, and other serious maladies produced by
these insalubrious elements, it is absolutely ne
eessary that the stomach and all the secretive or
gans should be, SO to speak, in robust condi-
ton. Upon the amount of resistance which the
vital system can oppose to the deleterous infu-
that assail it, the safety of health depends
and it is because the Great Vegetable Invigo-
rant imparts energy and regularity to the most
recommended and guaranteed as an invaluable
preventive medicine.

The faded cheek, the pale and wan features, tht
dull eye, the clouded intellect the deep heavine

stances permit; while those who do not act upon
the principle that delays are dangerous gen

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 Efe." Some
times the menstrual flow is too much, or too little

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 to
cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritabiity 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,

COMMON GEsDG-SHOP BITTEIsS


Empty Bitter Bottles. of various styles, can be
found around almost every dwelling and cabin

and are aduertissd to almost every disease,
while the manufacturers knoao they possess mo

many DISCUSSES for enceedingW common beverages
which do not, nor cannot possibly cure any one.
Beware of these pleasant biters in quart bot
ties, they contain sting for your vitals, and he
who buys them carries "toper's" grog into his
house One man who knows nothing about med
cine, says his big bottles of common stuff will
cure chils and fever rheumatism and consump-
ton; another, whose bottle is very fancy, cures
all impurities of the blood, makes old men young,
casts out devils, restores sight to the blind, and
numerous other miracles; while yet another,
who presumes every drunkard proposes
to cure collie, ingrowing nails, yellow fever, heart
disease and love-sck maidens! We know they
make no such cures, we know the people at large
are deceived and swindled, and as we desire to
ventlate these common humbugs, made the fol
lowing challenge to one and all:

Boys, DON'T SMoKE.-A few evenings ago, be-
coming wearied with pouring over numberless ex-
changes, we wendell our way to the ten-pin alley
hoping the walk in the fresh air and a quiet
game of ten pins would refresh the mind and
quicken the flow Of the purple stream Of life /;
but our enjoyment was seriously mared by seeing
boy, not more than seven or eight years of age,
putting away vigorously at a cigar. We could
not help thinking of the remark of wealthy
merchant of St. Louis. ethat there was nothing
he despised SO much as to see boy with cigar
in his mouth"
The writer of this, although but youth, has
experienced already in his brief career, the evil
effects of this bad habt-a habit that is not only
expensive but seriously detrimental to health
But these are not tn worse features of this habit
1t isthe first step to dissipation, and contracted
at so early an age, it will grow with his growth
and strengthen with his streng h. 1t not only
has bad moral effect, but it induces idleness
and mental weakness In the course of human
events this boy may apply to US for situation,
but remembering this early dissipation on his
part we would be very slow in considering his
application, Boys, remember that it is the first
cup that leads to drunkards grave-that it is
the first act of sin that leads to ruin and we
would earnestly beseech you to remember that If
you once lose that early purity of character you
possess you can never regain it. We are told
that over the apricot and the palm there
grows beauty and bloon more exquisite than
the fruit itself-a soft delicate plush that over
speads its blushing cheek, and if you strike
your hand over that, it is gone forever, for it
never grows but once. And thus it is with your
eharaeter-if once blurred by sin and evil habits
their effects can never be era lieated-they can
only be forgiven.
