REAR TN MIND.

When disease has undermined the health,
stimulant that will no. only strengthen, but
remove the cause, should be immediately re-.
sorted to. Mental distress is also fruitful
source of the breaking down Of the constitu-
ton, and the ravages of this enemy TO health
are truly alarming. For all such maladies Hos
letters Stomach BiLters have been found un-
surpassed. BY acting directly upon the diges-
tive organs, they remove the heavy, disagree.
able feeling after eating go often complained of
by persons of delicate temperament. As soon
as digestion is restored, the patient finds his
strength increasing, and his general health I'M
proved.
Thousands Of persons celtify that it may BIO
relied on in ali cases of weakness or nervous
debility attendant upon sedentsry habits The
generality Of Bilters are so disagreesble to the
taste that they arc Objectionable to weak
stomach. This is not the case with Hostetter's
Bitters, which will BIO found mild and extrome-
ly pleasant. Balssmic plants, bsrks and roots
contribute their restorative juices TO render it
soothing and strengthening. Its basis is the
only pure stimulant which has ever boon pre-
duced, containing 60 .fitsH OIL or any other de-
leterious element. The most careful and skill
full chemists have analysed the Bi!ters and pro-
nounce them harmless. This is scientific testi-
mony but the testimony Of the hundreds Of
thousands who have eXperlcnc ed the prev entlve
snd curative effects of the GREAT VEGETABLE
TONIC and Alternative of modern times is still
more conclusive Ii Fever and Ague, Dys.
popsia, Bliousncss, Nervous mplalnts, Chro-
mic Complaints and general debility it is AS

BAD PAYMENTS. 1t was mentioned in
yesterdays Gazette, that the Mayor having al
lowed the owners of city property, in front Of
whose premises the side walks require repairs,
all reasonable time in which to have thuso re.
pairs made. has determined to instruct the
Superintendent of Police to have the necessary
work done without any further delay, and will
see that the expense of the same will be paid
by the proper parties. Good side walks are
essential requisites oflarge communities of PEG.
pie, and why Alexandra should DO deficient in
that particular, with the numerous brick yards
in the immediate vicinity of the city, no one
can readily imagine; but that such deficiency
does exist, and that to woeful extent, 10 one
who has lately walked its streets will deny.
Pedestrians cannot even use King street in wet
weather, or after rain, without having their
teet spashed from pools of water concealed
under sunken bricks, and to walk any of the
streets alter dark without stumbling about like
a drunken man, and running the risk of Sprained
ankles, requires better eycsight than most PEG
pie possess.
