SPECIAL NOTICES.
A NATIONAL MEDICINE.

One can hardly pick up newspaper or turn
street corner nowadays that he does not
find, staring him in the face, the announcement
that Prot So-snd-so has just discovered u med
icine which is q panacea for all the ills tEat
flesh is, or may be heir to- These "wondertuP'
discoveries usually have existence of few
months, then disappear from public notice
This reason of their sudden extinguisnment is
apparent. They were humbugs. At the out,
set I'LL medical preparations have an equal
chance for success, as all are equally unknown !;
but the chat is soon winnowed from the grain
by the practical test which an unpreJudlced
public applies to all things. There are but few
preparations of medicine which have wlthstood
the impartial judgment of the people for any
length of time. One Of the few which We have
now in mind, and which has been long time
familiar to nearly every household in the lAno,
is the celebrated Rostetters Stomach bltters -
Their almost universal sale and u.e and their
emphatic endorsement from all portions OF the
country, compel the admission that they must
bAaspecifc for the ailments for which they are re
commended. Letters before US attest their ett1-
cacy in diseases of tho throat. bowels and liver.
In that truly terrible complaint, dyspepsia, they
arc regarded as sue cure. In PlttsDurg
where these Bitters are manufactured, their
sale for home use is immense. This fact alone
speaks volumes in their favor.-ETtrdcts from
