Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing,
complain of tired, listless feeling, or COM
plete exhaustion, on arising in the morning.
On the wife and mother deyolves the respon-
sibility of regulating the duties of the house
hold. Her cares are numerous, aud the men,
tai as we'll as the physical powers are FREE
quently called into requisition. She often
finds her slightest occupation o weary task
and existence burden, while at the same
time she hes no regular disease. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, if resorted to at this period,
will prove an unfailing remedy for this an.
moving lassitude. The effects Of this potent
agent are soon seen in the rosy cheek and
elastic step of the head of the family, as with
restored health and renewed spirits she takes
her accustomed place in the family circle.
If this friend in need be regularly used,
those depressing symptoms will never be
complained of, and not only would lassituds
not be experienced, but many diseases follow
ing its advent be avoided. As a medical
scent it has no equal, while its pleasing flavor
and healthful effects have made it a general
favorite. 1t is free from all properties cal.
culatea to impair the system, and its opera
tions are at once mild, soothing and efficient.
All who have used the Bitters attest its vir.

The first number of the UNION DExocRAr.
was issued on Saturday. the first day of July
1854. The seventeenth volume was continu-
ed to ffty-fve numbers to bridge over the
loss Of time occasioned by computing ffty-two
weeks for year during its existence. To-
day, the anniversary Of its first issue, its
eighteenth volume and eighteenth year is
commenced.
It's no easy or thankful task to conduct a
country paper, even when yielding fair
profit; from our experience thus far, we are
constrained to the belief that publishing q
paper IN this county, does not tend rapidly
towards financial accumulation. During the
past twenty years more than dozen differ,
ent newspapers have been started, with the
exception of one or two years in early 1ush
times, they were published at loss, and
passed out of existence leaving the UNION
DEMocRAr, to plod its way alone. It has
kept up all the time, barely existing when
pushed hard by competition, still It has man
aged to live without yielding profit to any Of
its proprietors. Every business man, every
farmer, in fact every one who has on interest
in the welfare of their county should bear in
mind that no other one thing to be had for so
little money, is of SO much Importance for the
advancement Of their interests, as q medium
through which their advantages may be set
forth and made known to the world. The
quality of the paper depends much upon the
liberality with which it is supported. IF the
people Of the county will extend as sufficient
patronage they shall have as COED paper as
their support will allow US to procure.
1t will be our aim and desire to represent
the true interests of the people of Tuolumne
County, as we have endeavored to do in the
past. Being the only journal published in
the county, although Democratic in princi-
Piles, our opponents will not be abused for
party sake, our columns will be open at all
times, to those who may desire to contribute
anything that may be Of interest or benefit to
our people, political or otherwise. We can
net do less than thank our patrons for their
past kindness toward us and hope that their
numbers may be materially increased with
the eighteenth volume.

one of these candidates are men of fine abili.
