Poisonous Medicines.
| The theory that the virus of disease can be
| safely counteracted by doses of poison, is false
and dangerous. Within the last twenty-five
years, not less than score of virulent poisons
have been added to the repository of the medi-
cal profession. They are given in small doses,
otherwise they would destroy life Immediately !;
but even in minute quantities, they produce, I'LL
| timately, very disastrous effects. It is unwise
and unphilosophical to employ, as remedies
powerful and insidous drugs, which, in subju-
eating one disease, SOW the seeds of another still
more unmanageable. None of these terrible
medicaments operates with as much directness
and certainty upon the causes of disease as Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, tonic and corrective.
aothout single deleterious ingredient in its COM
position. Arsenic and quinia are given for in
termittents bromide of potassium for nervous
disorders strychnine and prussic acid for gen.
eral debility; mercury. in various forms, for
liver complaint; preparations of chloroform and
opium for sleeplessness; and yet these deadly
drugs do not compare, as specifics for the disea-
ses above enumerated, with that wholesome veg
etable invigorant and Alternative, while they are
all so pernicious that 1T is astonishing any ply
stefan should take the responsibility of prescr-
bling them. Let invalids, for their own sakes,
try the Bitters before they resort to the poisons
The relief they will experience from q course of
the harmless specific, will render recourse to
the unsafe preparations referred to- quite unnec-
essary. may2-1m
FHNHE McPHEETERS' PATENT Wa
u ter Elevator and Carrier-A con-
trivance for conveying water from spring up
an elevation is no new thing. In fact, many
such inventions have operated successfully.
: In putting the above machine before the pub
lie, we claim for it the still greater merit that it
will also accomplish the far more difficult ope-
ration of first lifting the water from well of any
depth, and then conveying it up an elevation to
the house.
It is equally adapted to lifting material from
mines and conveying TO the place of deposits
for lifting hay from wagon with the addition
of hay fork and depositing in the mow and
for any other operation where heavy weights are
to be raised and carried.
To persons living on elevated situations it is
an invaluable contrivance. supplying an album
dance of fresh water from distance, with COM
paratively little outlay of time and labor.

present, by Eyler, Cooper & Co., of Staunton,
