Indigestion.

No disease presents such various, con
trary, and incompatible symptoms. They
contradict all the acknowledged laws of
order, constancy and consistency which
regulate natural events. They bother
the doctors, and can only be read at last
by him who is skilled in the language
and grammar Of the Book of Nature. 1t
has been said that the perfection Of med
ical skill is the talent of applying to each
individual case its precise, and, as it
were, its individual cure. This is the
object which every conscientious physi-
clan pursues increasingly, and can never
rest satisfied until he has oyersaken.
Edward Wilder's Stomach Bitters, their
body being the purest Of copper-distilled
whisky, makes this object attainable alike
to all. They are specific, the disease
specifying the remedy, not the remedy
the disease They are a combination Of
substances which meet the specially Of
the disorder by corresponding specially
of cure. They should be kept in every
well-regulated family.

The three great factorsin this equation
of disease are solar heat, moisture, and
vegetable decomposition. Neither one
alone is capable of begetting the precise
condition necessary to produce sickness.
They must all coexist The trio, if sep
arated, are harmless together, they are
more potentfor evil than any other known
agents. So long as they exist, just so
long will we have need Of medicine
which will overcome their pernicious
effects; so long will itbe necessary to have
remedy capable of meeting and beating
the insidious enemy; and of all known
agents for this purpose none is to com
pare with that marvellous compound,
Edward Wilder's Chill Tonic. Try it.
all you who are suffering from any form
Of ague, as cure is guaranteed in every
case. III. araI aal

Al an early age he was elected County Trus-

New York, March l4.-The snow storm
has been very severe east and west OF
here. In Boston it is the heaviest of the
season Railroad travel on the Eastern
and Northern roads is seriously effected.
In this city, snow fell to the depth OF
about four inches.
The Herald, in speaking of the Piegan
Indian campaign this morning, says;
F" General Sheridan has issued an order
congratulating Colonel Baker and com
mand on the result of their campaign
against the Piegan Indians. As that
action is being searchingly ventilated by
Congress and elsewhere, and is severely
denounced by some persons high IN au
tbority as inhuman and barbarous, we
think the Lieutenant General might have
withheld his congratulations for while.
The Worlds money article sounds the
following alarm; A scheme is already
organized to commit the most gigantic
frauds on the banks, money lenders and
stock operators, and if successful the
chiefs will realize from thirty to forty
millions profit, and they will do SO with
out violating any law 1t is determined
by these bold and reckless men to strike
a SIRE blow at all our banks and money
lenders that are connected with the deal
ings in stock exchange. The plan is
based on the experiences of the Septem-
Der gold panic and is simple and CON
else On September oath those who had
covered short sales of gold at profit, as
they thought, of twenty per cent, found
that in place thereof they had realized
a loss ofabout ten per cent, and found
themselves long of gold at lao instead OF
short at 100, when the price was lSZ
Persons who bought at lao and those
who bought from them at l6O, failed;
and those from whom they bought to
cover at l45 did not fail TO insist on their
taking gold at lao. The same thing that
was thus done in gold last September, is
now organized to be done in stocks when
the time comes, only on more general
and gigantic scale. New firms with suf-
ficient capital to have credit at banks
and on the street have been started; old
firms of good standing, and members OF
the Stock. Exchange, are in conspiracy
to perpeuate this gigantic fraud on our
banks, rich stock firms, operators, ETC.

If there is any fixed fact in therapeutics, it is

oHelminthOlogy.

The history of helminthology abounds
in Illustrations Of the influence Of worms
in the production of diseases and in the
evaporation Of their symptoms. The
frequency of worms in the bodies of men,
their obviousness to the senses, together
with their very common connection with
enfeebled and morbid, states Of the ani-
NAL economy, all tended to render them
an object of-interest from theremotest
periods. The very abest minds have
been devoted to the study of these ento-
goa with the view of discovering some
substance which was capable of speedily,
safely, and permanently expelling them
from the human system. No fair-thinking
or conscientious observer can fail to
allow that these efforts have at last been
crowned with success. The Worm Syrup
of Edward Wilder is true vermicide-a
genuine worm destroyer--a bona fide YER
mifuge. Its taste is delightful. Its effects
are quick. Its results unfailing. 1t is
