Some medical men insist that it is undigni-
fed to advertise remedy, however valuable il
may be. Queer reasoning this. tits like say
ing that an article which the world needs should
may be too widely diffused-that the means Of
protecting and restoring health should be q
close monopoly, and not accessible to all. The
argument is bad. It is worse than that it is
inhuman. Suppose Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters-an absolute specific for dyspepsia, bilious
ness and nervous debility-had never been
known beyond the repertoire Of the faculty,
what would have been the consequence? In
stead of curing and invigorating millions, the
good effects of the preparation would have been
confined to comparative few. There is the
highest authority for saying that light should
not be- hid under bushel; that whatever is
excellent should be placed as a city on a hill,
where all men can take cognizance Of it. 1t is
upon this principle that the Bitters have been
advertised and continue to he advertised in
every newspaper ofany prominence in the west
ern hemisphere, and that the spontaneous tes-
timonials in its favor have been translated into
all written languages. Thousands enjoy per-
feet health to-day who would be languishing
on beds of sickness if the newspapers had not
spread the truth with regard to this uneqMaled IT,
vigorant and corrective far and wide. Suppose
profit has been reaped from this publicity. Is
that any argument against it? If the public
health has been protected; if lives have been
saved; if the feeble have been ngthened and
the sick restored great good has been Accomplish
ed; and who SO mean as to grudge to exertiCns
thus directed their fair reward

To the Editor of the Port Tobacco Times !:


l know nothing that gave me more pleasure,
during my visit to Alexandria, than the kind
reception l met with in the Dry Goods Store
of our old friend, ROBERT L.. WOOD. That gem
tleman seems to be especially adapted to the
manners and customs of our people. There
was in the proprietor, and his very gentleman
ly.assistants desire to please, and from their
well stocked shelves they were enabled to suit
all classes and tastes. noticed that the small
est wants of those who came in. with their
hard earned shillings, were attended to SO care
fully as apparently to make the poor man feel
that the pleasure of spending his money more
than compensated him for the toll endured in
earning it.
We learn from your advertising columns
something of the nature and variety of MI.
WOODS stock, and recommend all who go to
Alexandria to purchase Dry Goods to call and
see him. CHARLES COUNTY.

that the bombardment of the southern Pari.

barracks in Fort Vsnvres were on FIRE and
also that Prince Frederick Charles, whose en-.
gagement with General Chauzy, on the 9th
has "continued his victorious march on Ii

has arrived in London, is credited with hav.
ing stated that the German guns can easily
shell Paris. The capture of the French re.
doubt at Nntre Dame de Clamart, on the Paris
and Versailles railway; is reported. The guns
it is added, have been turned upon Other
French works. Several houses in Paris were
on Ere Sunday, but whether from stray shot.
from the German batteries or from other caus.
es is not stated. Making due allowances f.,
the sin of exaggeration into which the intoxi-
cation of great success has lately caused the
Germans to stumble, it seems unquestionable
that they have again defeated the plans Of the
French generals outside of Paris, and have
made considerable progress towards the ulti.
mate reduction Of the city. 1t is apparent.
however, that all Of their recent successes in
the field have been gained at fearful expense
Of blood, which, while il shows their own ire

brilliant though fruitless valor Of the French.

strong aud active as ever.
