Cheering Facts for the Bilious.

E7ery day demonstrates more c%learly
that liver complaint, in all its distressiae
forms, can be controlled and cured without
difficulty or Inconvenience. 1t is an absti-
nate disease, but its obstinacy is not proof
against the pertinacions, remedial and res
t~orative operation of Hostetters' Stomach
Bitters. That genial corrective compels
the organ to do its duty 1t must secrete
healthfnlly under the influence Of the Bit
ters. Their actions brings it back from a
state of rebellion into perfect harmony
with the laws of health. IF There is c~ostive-
ness, il disappears if there is side-ache or
b~ack-ache, it ceases if the skin and the
whites of the eyes are tinged with super
hnous bile, thcy recover their natural hue
if the appetite is gone, it returns !; if the
digestion is impaired, it is restored; IN
brief, whatever the symptoms If the com
plant may be, and whatever the phase it
has assumed, a cure is certain. Such are
the Uniform effects offtthis preparation
where bilious disease has been already de-
veloped but in cases where there is mere
~ a constitutional tendency to liver COM
plant, it may be prevented throughout life
by the regular use, in small quantities, Of
this palatabie antidote. These are prove n
facts, and should be seriously pondered-
OF, rather, they shoald be p ornptly acted
upoa-by all persons of bilious habit.

DISTRESSING RAILROAD Acknowledging
Cunningham, Of Philadelphia, on his way
to New Orleans, took supper at Magnolia,
Mississippi, Thursday night, and on leav.
ing the hotel got aboard the upward bound
train, through mistake. When the Judge
discovered the mistake he attempted to
leap from the train; but his feet becoming
entangled in some way, he was dragged
under the wheels of the rear car and both
of his legs cut entirely off. He also re-
ceiyed severe Commissions about the head.
He was taken to the hotel, but died before
surgical assistance could arrive. Judge
Cunningham was accompanied, on his trip
to the South, by his son, and both were
coming here to visit their friends.-FN. O.

legislation Of Congress, instead of one
thousand dollars. exempted last wear. The

of 3 per cent, as heretofore. The tax upon

been repealed. Licenses are exacted upon
no other business than the sale of liqonr
