A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too Intimately, alli-d for ,the one to
suffer WITHOUT the Other, so that dyspepsia and
dependency are inseparable. 1t may be nd
ded, too, that irritation of The stomach is al
most invariably accompanied by irritation Of
the temper. 5ii4
The nyigorating and ,trsnquilizipg opera
ton Of Ho,tstter's Bitters is most powerfully
developed in cases Of indigestion. The first
effect Of this agreeable tonic is comforting and
encouraging. A mild glow pervades the .sys.
tenn, the chronic uneasiness in the region Of the
stom ,ch is lesasned, and the nervous restless
ness which characterizes the disease is abated.
This improvement is not transient 1t IL not

with superadded force as is always tie case
when unmedicated stimnlarts are given for the
compla aiut. Each dose seems to impact per-
manent accession of hralthful inauguration.
But til is is mt ali The apsrient and antibil
ious properties Of thr preparation are scarcely
secondary in imporian Q to Its tonic virtues.

ci.ut to produce the desired result gradually
aud without pain. The Bitters also promote
hesltby evaporation from the surface which is
particularly desirable at this season when sud

check the natural psnpirs,ion and produces

The New York correspondent Of
tho Rochester Democrat gives the
following brief history Of Pomeroy's
newspaper career: A young compos-
| litor starts ont for the West seeking
his fortune 10 that scene Of activity
and excitement. He gets a press and
publishes q sheet, which becomes no.
ted for its audacious virulence, not nm
accompanied by evidences of talent.
The times are propitious to, such an.
enterprise. The cry of war is in the
land. A grcat national eapse is at
stake, and its, foes are rambling in.
their bitterness and hatred. 70 such
a class the journalist affords an accep-a
table organ, and it receives the full
support of malignant party. 1t in
Greascs in, profit, power, in influence,
until at last it has surpassed all other
Western journals in notoriety. The
La Crosse Democrat and "Briek" Pol
mercy thus became widely known,
and the latter mentioned becomes 10.
toxicated with success. The West is
now too limited a sphere for a man Of
his powers. His vaulting ambition,
overlapping itself, Graves destruction
in the great metropolis Of the nation.
MadIy bent on this, he shuts his eyes
against the history of the press
which is the history Of failure. He
brings to this city 100000, which he
has made in the previous ten years.
He commences new journal, and
theu learns his great mistake. Expe-
rience tells him that to estabsii
fsh such an enterprise needs q
of talent such as he
is unable to effect. He also learns
that. the coarse and filthy abuse
which found market among Wes-
tern squatters, is out of place in
New York. OF the Democracy of
this city, not one in ten reads, and
this one demands something decent.
The result is o struggle Of two years.

ed printer puts forth such efforts as
show o superior ability, polluted, of
course, by his natural coarseness. AT

The earnings of the La
Crosse Democrat are I'LL spent, splcn-
did fortune is lost, and he may now,
take desk in some newspaper if he
can get one, and earn his daily bread
