Caution to the Public.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
their efficacy established by well-tested experience in
the hands OF regularly-educated physician, whose
preparatory studies fit him for all the duties he must
fulfil; yet the country is flooded with poor nostrums
and cure-alls purporng to be the best in the world
which are not only useless, but always injurious.
The unfortunate should be PARTICULAR in selecting
his physician as it is amentable yet incontrovert-
Bile fact, that many syphtic patients made mis-
cradle with ruined constitutions by maltreatment
from inexperienced physicians in general practice;
for it is point generally conceded by the best syph-
ographers, that the study and management of these
plants should engross the whole time of those who
would be competent and successful in their treatment
and ours. The inexperienced general practitioner,
having neither opportunity nor time to make him
sues one system of treatment, in most cases making

. This is surely very gratifying ex.
hibit of the wealth and prosperity Of
Berkeley county, but gratifying as it is,
what must the opinion OF strangers be,
when they come to know that it re-
quires fifty cents out Of every one hun
dred dollars of this amount, to pay our
county expenses under Radical rule, or
in other words to keep set Of useless
lazy Radical drones in Office. Under
our present Constitution, it requires
$50, 73l.34 10 be flched from the peo-
Piles pocket, for the expenses Of our
county government, whilst the business
should be done, and can be done for
$4,000, less than two thirds of what it
now costs. We tell our farmers and
others that hard times are already upon
us, and we fear that worse are TO come.
What with the partial loss of our oat
and corn crop, our hogs dying with
cholera, and therefore nothing to sell,
but our little bit OF wheat, it is going
to take tight screwing and economy to
make both sides OF the account bal.
ance. We have therefore not cent TO
spare, to keep useless men in Office,
paying the aggregate sum of $4,000
per annum, besides our State, School
and United States taxes.
We think every taxpayer should look
these figures full in the face before he
makes up his mind to vote against a
ention.-Stdtesmdn

THERE is doubt that West Virginia
will pay her portion of the public
debt of Virginia. No person in this
State dreams Of denying that fact. So
far as we are aware there is no DISPOSE
ton upon the part Of any OF our PEG.
pie to repudiate the debt. As soon as
it 10 ascertained how much we owe,
West Virginia will fairly and squarely
meet the liability. But with what
show Of prudence can We bind our.
selves to pay the debt in a given term
of years without knowing how great
iSthe annual burden we assume? I'm
der the present Constitution of Yves,
Virginia, the State is bound to dis
charge in thirtyfour years a debt o.
whose magnitude none of the people
have any accurate knowledge. 1t is
variously estimated form a few hun
dred thousands to fourteen or fifteen
millions What would be thought Of
the business man who would blindly
make a contract Of that kind? Know,
ing nothing of the magnitude of the
debt, how can we know that it will be
possible for us to discharge it in thirty
tour years? ina -. ,.-.

BiIiousness and Indigestion


These two complaints are more general
at this season OF the year than at almost
any other. They are closely akin; for bill
iousness always involves an impaired d.
gestion, and indigestion is necessarily an
accompaniment of disordered or torpid
liver. Happy the man or woman who can
boast of stomach that has never felt the
horrors of dyspepsia, and to whom that
great secretive agent, the liver, has never
given pain or trouble. Not one In thou
sand can lay claim to entire immunity
from irregularity in these organs. How,
then, shall they be regulated? Not by pow
erful cathartics, alternated with ordinary
stimulants, but by medicinal invigorant,
like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
combine in due proportion the tonic and
the Alternative principle. Wherever there Is
a church, schoolhouse and a general store,
this famous medicine may be procured. NO
village merchant finds 1t prudent to be
without It, for it Is enquired for every DAY
by every class. The workingman buys IT
because it increases his capacity for toll and
Is followed by no reaction. The effect OF the
salubrious roots herbs, ETC., OF which lt Is
composed, diffuSed through his system by
the pure stimulant which forms the basis
of the Bitters, is most healthful and 1nVig-
Grating. The scholar, the merchant, and,
i'm fact, all men whose minds or bodies, or
both, are in constant exercise, will derive
benefit from Its use. To persons OF seden-
tary habits it supplies, In some measure,
that activity in the circulation which Is Oh.
tanned by physical exertion, and Is the best
known remedy for constipation.
Ask for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
do not be coaXed into purchasing any OF the
limitations and frauds sometimes offered IN
its stead.
