~ THE SEASON OF EXHAUSTION.
The close sultry weather, which usually prevails
toward the end OF summer Is particularly unfavo-
rable to the 'eble and enervated. Even the we'll
knit frames OF strong men feel the influence OF
the season, and lassitude and languor pervade
the whole community. Ladies, especially those
In delicate health, suffer much from debility, oc.
casioned by the humid heat, and feel the want OF
wholesome tnvigorant In fact, necessity for
something to recruit the exhausted system Is eX-
perienced, more or less by everybody, and the
only question Is, what that something Will be.
With those who have tested the effect OF HOSTEL.
TER'S STOMACH BrTTERS on themselves, or
have observed Its effects on others, this question
will not be In doubt for single moment. Its
tonic and regulating operation, and Its agency IN
creating healthy appetite and promoting diges-
ton, are rightly cassed by all who have resorted
TO this uneeua!!ed vegetable !nyigorant and cor
rec,ive among the most extraordinary therapeu.
tic wonders Of modern times. 1t should be taken
at this season as safeguard against the epidemic
diseases which are 80 apt to attack the relaxed
system in the fall Of the year.
AS it is understood that mercenary spectators
In various parts Of the country are endeavorins
to supersede the standard tonic Of the age win
worthless articles manufactured by themselves
| which they represent to be superior 10 this long
| tried remedy, 1t is proper to put the public on
their guard against this species OF Imposition
and to warn them against the deleterlous trash
with which dishonorable dealers seek to drenc1
i them. aug19-6D&C

forth in 1874 the valuable results Of his ex,
perfmedts in this matter, showing that the

much phosphates as The trunk and leaves COM

TOR shade trees. Mr.. Ruffn ;. may have
been Ignorant Of the practical value. Of the
phosphates as fertilizers, but If his successors
were, they have no excuse and though they
continued their search for the carbonates. how
could they possibly have go overlooked the enor-
NOUS percentage of the phosphates,? An an
alysis must show all that substance contains
to be entitled to the term complete or success
full, and yet Professor Shepard failed to find
in the Drayton Hill marls more than $50
per cent. of phosphate OF lime In an
examination made during "A A Course
On Chemistry applied to Agriculture Was
hes' too, looking for carbonates? 1t would
app ear that in series OF lectures upon so
vastly important subject he should not, In
his experiments, have looked for anything In
particular, but for everything which could be
used with advantage as fertllizing agent.

special view to the d.acooT:ery of carbonate OF
lime, he should have been greatly discouraged
had his analysis been correct or complete

Mr.. N. s. Shaler, in a note appended to
paper presented by him 10 the Boston Society
of Natural History, In March last, gives to DR..
St. Julien Ravenel the credit of being the first
to discover ''the commercial value of these
beds" but, unless he can show an analysis
giving at least forty per cent. OF phosphate OF
lime, made prior to that of Dr.. Pratt, we think
that, giving s'honor to whom honor Is DUE"
the analysis made by the latter gentlemen,
giving the first idea of the. enormous value OF
these marls, fully entities him to the laurel,
and we'll may he be proud of the new source
of wealth and enterprise which he has opened
IN our State. w. G. N.
