Prosecuted Organ.

The human stomach has been a shame
fully prosecuted organ. There was a time
when for every direllction OF duty 1t was
punished with huge doses OF the most dis
gushing and nauseous drugs. In vain 1t re-
jected them, and literally returned them
upon the hands Of those who administered
them. They were forced upon II again and
again, until its solvent power was thor
oughly drenched out of 1t.
The world is wiser now than II was In
that drastic era, when furious purgation
and mercurial salvation were what Arte-
mus Ward would have called the "main
holt of the faculty, In cases Of dys-
pepSia and liver complaint
The great modern remedy for indigestion
and biliousness is Hostetter's Stomach
of combining a palatable flavor with such
tonic, aperient and anti-bilious properties
as were never heretofore united in any med
icine.
It has been discovered, at last, that sick
people are not like the tabled Titans, who
found prostration so refreshing that, when
knocked down, they rose from the earth
twice as vigorous as before. When an in
valid Is Frustrated by powerful depicting
drugs, he is apt to stay Frustrated; and the
debiiitated being, aware OF the fact, prefer
the budding up to the knocking dotpn system
of treatment .. ... 60
Hostetter's Bitters meets the requirements
of the rational medical philosophy which
at present prevails. 1t Is perfectly pure
vegetable remedy, embracing the three i'm.
portant properties Of q preventative, tonic
and an Alternative. 1t fortifes the body
against disease, invigorates and re-yitaltzes
the torpid stomach and liver, and effects q
most salutary change in the entire system
when in morbid condition.
In this country where the embedding tenn
perature renders the human organization
particularly susceptible to unwholesome
atmospheric influences, the Bitters should be

POPULAR interest in the proposed
railroad subscription is largely on the
increase and there is a probability Of a
large vote being cast The current
seems to be decidedly in favor of voting
the subscription and relying upon the
Board of Supervisors to so adjust the
terms of the contract as to etectually
secure the interests Of the county.
There is no question as to the advan-
tage to be attained by the construction
of the road; no doubt concerning the
benefit it will confer upon the trade and
commerce of the city. The people want
the road built; and the only assurance
they ask before subscribing is that their
stock may be guaranteed against forfeit
ture. Some arrangement can doubtless
be effected by the Supervisors to accom-
plish this result.

TION. :,

The Greenbrier Independent, reflect
ing the sentiment OF very intelligent
and important portion Of the Third Con-
gressional District, administers whole
some rebuke to those persons in the
Kanawha valley who oppose the calling
of Constitutional Convention for fear
that the State Capital may thereby be
removed from Charleston. The oppo-
nents Of the Convention have been try
ing to create the impression in certain
localities that that body will GER
tainly remove the seat of the govern
ment, without seeming to comprehend
that, in other portions Of the State, the
same consideration would induce many
to vote for the Convention. But the
whole argument is a transparent hum
bug. The Convention will not affect
the Capital question at all; if Charles
ton cannot keep the Capital 'cith the
Convention, she will have some Difficult
ty in retaining it without. The Inde'
pendent sums the matter up very forci-
bly, when it says: IF the choice is
forced upon US, Capital at Charleston
and no Convention or removal and
Convention, zoe are .f0rHe latter" The
friends of Charleston cannot afford to
ALLEVIATE so many Of their present
allies, and we are well assured
that nothing of that kind will be at
tempted. A few factions Radicals who
have taken a notion tooppose the Con
vention and cannot, for their lives, rem
der any good reason why they stand in
the way OF constitutional reform, may
still endeavor to deiude some OF the
Kanawha valley people into the belief
that the Capital question is to be re-
opened and the struggle resumed, but
they will make no sane converts and
find no reasonable followers. The Cap
ital is a subject Of local interest and
importance; the Convention is for the
advantage of the entire State.
