N anfssIIibIe Remedy.-We are now at
"a that critical season of the year when ex-
cessively hot weather, and the free use of ice
water, fruits and vegetables, are most apt to cre-
ate disorders of the stomach and bowels which,
If not checked in time not unfrequently lead to
cholera, diarrhoa and dysentery. Whatever
the natural health and vigor of man or woman.
excessive heat is apt to produce languor as well
as inertness in the digestive organs, and if ma
ture is not speedily aided in the performance of
her natural functions disease must fasten upon
the system. Dyspepsia, one of the most
loathesome and annoying diseases known to the
human family. receives its vitality and gains its
power from disordered digestion. If taken in
It's lncipient stages 1T is easy enough to subdue,
but when it once gets a fair hold the patient is
forced to endure much before he can get perma-
nent relief. Now, under these circumstances.
we ask if it is not passing strange that persons of
ordinary capacity become so short-sighted to
their own interests as not to avail themselves of
q certain and speedy remedy when they find
their appetites failing, their stomachs becoming
disordered and their digestion growing torpid
And yet such cases may be found in every neigh
berhood. notwithstanding the fact that BAKERS
PREMIUM BITTERs are known to be an lnfallible
remedy for all such complaints-that they con-
tain not a particle of mineral poson-and that
they are the purest, surest and most active tonic
known. When taken as per direction they erad-
icate nervousness in all its FORMS improve the
digestion, strengthen the stomach, purify the
blood and effectualy expel all substances that
tend to produce biiousness or ague and fever
As family medicine they stand unsurpassed,
while they give tone to the most debiitated con-
stitution and vitality to the entire human frame

THE gueakershIu.

The nomination of Major Marshall Hanger,
of Augusta, by the Conservative caucus for the
position of Speaker of the House of Delegates
is, we presume, equivalent to an election.
Major Hanger was frequently in the Speak
er's chair during the sessions of the last legis-
lature, and it was the subject of general remark
that he presided with great ability. His high
character, good sense, and experience are an
ample assurance that he will discharge the du-
ties of his high Office to the satisfaction of the
House and the public.
His competitor in the caucus was General
James A. Walker, of Pulaski, who would have
made an excellent Speaker, and of whom it is
praise enough tc say that he was chosen to sue
coed General T. j. Jackson Ia the command of
the Stonewa Brigade, and in the political
camp aign of 1868 was placed on the Withers,
ticket for the position of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of the State. The vote was very close-4l to
