Made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, PCoof Spirits, and
Refuse Liquors, doctored, spiced and aweetened
to please the taste, called "Tonics,' "Agpeti-
zers,'' "Restorers," &C., that lead the tipler on
to drunkenness and ruin, but are q true medi-
cine, made frOu the Native Roots aad Herbs Of
California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are the Great Blood Puriaier
and Life.Givin% Principle,
. perfect Renovator and Invigorator OF the Sys-
tem, carrying off all poisonous matter, aud re-
storing the blood to . healthy condition. No
person can take these Bitters according to direc-
tions, and remain long uuWell.
800 will b. given for an incurable case,
provided the bones are not destroyed by miner
IL poisOns or ether means, and the vital organs
wasted beyond the point of repair.
For IuAamatory and Chronic Rheumatism,
and Gout, Dyspepsia, or indigestion, Bilious,
Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases Of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these
Bitters have been most successful. Such Dis.
eases are caused by Violated Blood,
which is generslly produced by arrangement Of
the Digestive Organs.
Cleanse the Violated Blood whenever YOU 6nd

The Comet Panic of 1912.

Whiston--the mathematical divine.
the translator of Josephus-had predc-
ted that the comet Of 1712 would ap-
pear on "Wednesday, the l4th of October,
at five minutes after five o'clock, A. NJ,
and that the world would be DESTROYED
on the following Friday. Hisreputation
for science was as high as his character
for orthodoxy was uuquestionable and the
comet appeared punctually-leading to
an inferential fear that the rest Of the
prediction would be as punctually fulfill
ed. A number Of persons got into boats
and barges in the Thames, thinking the
water the safest place. South Sea and
India stock fell. The captain of a Dutch
ship threw all his powder into the river,
that the ship might not be endangered.
At noon, after the comet appeared, it is
said that more than one hundred clergy
men were terried over to Lamberth Pal.
ace, to request that proper prayers might
be prepared, there being none in the
church service appropriate to such cmer-
gency. People believed that the day of
Judgment was at hand, and acted, some
on this belief but more as if some ten
porary evil was to be expected Many
wrongs were righted, many breaches
Of mt rality repaired. There was great
run on the bank and Sir Gilbert Heath
cote, at that time head director, issued
orders 20 all the fire officers in London,
requesting them to keep good lookout,
and have Il particular eye on the Bank of
England. On the whole, the poor Lon
doners of that generation appear to have
behaved rather foolishly in the moment
of imagined doom.

A Personal Argument.

Counselor T, one of the foremost
advocates of the Bar of New York, was
himself a collegian and was naturally anx-
ious that his oldest son should reap the
honors of his own Alma Mater. The
counselor had been quite wild in his early
youth and Master Will manifestly inherit
ed a superabundance of what the philoso-
piers of the Josh Billings school would
call "pure cussedness." During his first
year at college Will was suspended for
some fragrant breach of discipline, and ar
irving home he proceeded to report the
occurrence to his father.
Suspended, hey ?" the old lawyer
remarked, laying down the volume he was
perusing, and looking reprovingly over
his spectacles A pretty beginning you've
made of it, I declare !" The culprit put
his hands in his pantaloon pockets and
said not word. "Well, sir p continued
the parent becoming angry at Wills per-
feet nonchalance, what have you to say
about it 7"
Nothing, sir"
Nothing, indeed! What did the pres
ident tell you when he suspended your
He said | was the worst young man the
college had ever held-with one excep-
ton" "Ah Did he say who that was?"
Yes, sir" " All "a slight pause) and
who was it ?' My father, sir" As may
be supposed, the last reply was a perfect
non sequiter.

| trusted she would have forethought

from what | had left. Then | was med
itating suicide, while now looked at the
pistol as / entered my room with horror,
and quickly placed it out ofsight.
What had wrought such change in
my feelings in SO short a time? Was it
hope aroused by the trihng circumstance
ofthe one call l had just had d?
As l sat trying to analyze my feelings
I came to the conclusion that | was tax
ing great interest in my patient, and
now the question occurred was it only pro-
fessional interest or was it heightened by
the fact that the patient was woman-a
lovely woman, too. Candor forced me to
admit that the latter fact had great inhu-
ence.
1 sat up several hours trying to think
what motives had prompted her to take
this singular step, and finally went to bed
without coming to any conclusion, except
that whatever had influenced her, | was
sure that it could not have been anything
bad.
With this I had to be content until
morning when I hoped my early visit
would unravel the mystery now surround
ing my first patient.

A Mistake.

An Ohio paper tells the following sto-
ry about the candidate for Secretary Of
State
" During the late canvass, this prince
of good fellows, who, by the way, always
enjoys good joke, even at his own ex-
pense, had occasion to stop at Oberlin.-
he was provided with comfortable room
at the hotel, and Immediately set about
the task of dofing his apparel and cloth
ing himself with an entire change of
dress. After removing from his person
every stitch of clothing, even to theshirt,
(the General is very neat and tasty in his
dress), he stepped forward and opened
door, as he supposed, of a closet, for
the purpose of placing therein the doffed
garments. But behold his astonishment
when instead Of opening the way to
closet, he opened door leading into
commodious sitting room, which was oc-
cupied by number of ladies'"

Catching a Rascal.

An amusing story is told of an old lady
who had been very much annoyed by the
village boys ringing the door bell and then
running off to enjoy the fun of the false
summons. So one day the old lady got a
long switch and stationed herself in the
Hall, for the purpose Of inficting summa-
ry justice upon them. Now it happened
that the new minister, a meek looking
little man, was paying his first pastoral
visits this day, and rang the door bell at
the house of this good old sister,
when out jumped the old lady thinking
it was the boys and laying the vigorous
whacks of her hickory over the head of
the little preacher, she exclaimed =
Oh, you little rascal I've caught you
at last" The result can be more proper
erly imagined than described.

In Government Employ.

Tn the " dark days" of ga there lived
"Down East" two well-to-do Irish neigh
bors, each of whom had son who had
gone West to seek their fortunes. The
old boys, meeting one day, mutual
inquiries were made about the young
sters.
"Wcll, Pat, how is Mickey making
out wild his thrip out West ?"
Elegantly. tin dollars wake, and
bossin' himself. And how's your boy
