Hoofland's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic
contains one bottle OF the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA Cruz Rum, and favored in
such a manner that the extreme bitterness of
the Bitters is overcome, forming a prepara-
ton highly agreeable md pleasant to the pal
ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price OF the Tonic is S1.50
per bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimuant used is guaranteed to be of
pure quality. pooG article could be fur
nished at a cheaper price, but is it not better
to pay little more and have good article :?
A medicinal preparation should contain none
but the best ingredients, and they who ex-
pect to obtain cheap compound will most
certainly be cheated.

II. T. HKLxBoLD, Druggist:
DEAR SIa-I have been a sufferer, for up
ward Of twenty years, with gravel, bladder,
and kidney affections, during which time l
have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most
eminent Physicians, experiencing but little
relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, consulted With nv family phys
ician in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
l did this because hse Used all kinds OF
advertised remedies, and had found them
worthless, and, some quite injurious in fact,
despaired of ever getting well, and determ
ined to use no remedies hereafter unless l
knew of the ingredients. 1t was this that
prompted me to use your remedy. AS you
advertised that it was composed Of buchu,
cubebs, and juniper berries, it occurred to me
and my physician as excellent combina-
ton, and, wi th his advice, after an examina-
ton Of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist, concluded to try it. com
| menced its use about eight months ago, at
which time was confined to my room. From
the first bottle was astonished and grati6ed
at the beneficial effect, and after using it three
weeks, was able to walk out. l felt much like
writing you full statement Of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement
might only be temporary, and therefore con-
cluded TO defer and see if it would eject a

lam now able to report that a cure is effec-
ted after using the remedy for five months.
Ihave not used any now for three months,
and feel as we'll in all respects as l ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid Of any unpleas-
ant taste and odor, nice tonic and invigora-
tor of the system, do not mean to be with

Twenty millions Of dollars
is a small sum Of money in
Uncle Samuel's pocket, so the
Collectors Of Internal Revenue
concluded that, inasmuch as he
would not miss it, they would
appropriate it to their own
use. This they did, dividing
it among each other in sums
ranging from ten thousand to
n half q million dollars each. -
Secretary Boutwell,, to show
his appreciation Of their zeal,
made out a list of them; with
the amount. assigned to each,
and sent it to Congress with
his compliments. The exact
footing Of this Little steal is
$20,700,9o3 38. Some cross.
grained Democrats suggested
the propriety Of arresting the
defaulters and ~making them
disgorge. The proposition was
received with horror. This
noble army of reCormers must
not be interfered with.

One of the best methods is to

When money is plenty poor
people can get their share of it,
and easier than when money Is
scarce, just as they can get
their share of bread and pork
when they are plenty, and can
get more Of them and on easier
terms than when bread and
pork are scarce. Taxes can be
paid with better heart and
with less inconyenience when
money is plenty than when it
is scarce. Abundance of money
brings flush times, and all kinds
of business fourishes; new en-
tprprises are undertaken; new
houses are erected; new steam
boats built; ACTIVITY in every
branch of business is awaken
ed; there is more contentmcnt
and less crime. Business inter
ests areneither refreshed.nor do
they flourish during periods Of
contraction Of the currency
1t is only when currency is ex'
that money is easy
and times good. And one Of
the great financial problems
with us always is how to
keep the currency up with the
increasing business, the open
ing up Of new States aud Ter
Iitories, and the necessary want
Of additional capital.
The opening up of the
Southern States after the war
to the reception Of greenbacks
and National Bank currency
was equivalent to the contrac.
tion Of the volume Of the cur.
rency in the loyal States Yet,
in addition to that, the Radical
policy demanded the withdraw.
al, by the Secretary of the
Treasury, Of four millions Of
greenbacks per month. Instead
of contracting the currency 10y
Withdrawing greenhacks from
circulation, the grrenhack cur
rency should have been in
creased to the extent of what
might be necessary for the
Southern States. And by
using the new issues, with
those daily coming into the
Treasury, over five hundred
millions of the public debt
fve.twepty bonds--could by
this time have been redeemed.
The Radical financial policy is
not only nonsense, but more
it is Il crime against the people.

accomplished writer's and talk.
ers Of this or any other coun-
try.
When any man applied to
him for office, his chief ques,
tions to be answered by the
applicants supporters, were
these:
1. Is he honest?
.. Is he capable +?
8. Is he faithful to the Con,
stitutionp
And Jefferson always tried
to find men to fill the Offices,
Of whom these questions could
be alfilmatively answered.
1t is not recorded of Jeff-r-
son even by his Federal enc.
mics. and hr had enemies

fee! " is also said Of him
that although he. did not live
more than 200 miles from
Washington he did not spend
much more than six months at
his private home during the
entire eight years that he was
President Now, Jefferson
has always been held up as a
model President, because the
above, and other good habits
and principles governed his
official conduct. Ulysses S.
Grant, was sworn into the
Presidential Office on the 4th
March, 1869. He was a sue
cessful general, won his victo-
ries at all immense and wanton
sacrifice of human life. He is |
no stalpsman at all-he is not a
Scholar-he is not a writer
he is not good speaker or
even good talker--in fact he
cannot express himself at all,
when it is necessay and pIoper
that he should do so. The
only questions that seem to be
asked for him Of applicants
for Offices in his gifts are
/. + he related TO my fami.
ly or the family Of my wife2
2. Does he bring gifts with
him?
3. Is he in favor of my re.
nomination.
And having provided for the
two first in order, those that
answered the essential last af
frmatively, (and who did not?)I
were appointed. U. S. Grant
does not spend more than half
his time in Washington, if sol
much. He wastes his leisure
or most of it i'll trifiing or per-
nicious amusements, and all
his aims seem to be Of a selfish
or frivolous character.
AS he has carefully hoarded
the gifts he has received, and
availed himself of all the ad
vantages Of his position with
tenacious but conspicuous in,
deIicacy, he has grown rich in
worldly gear. He expects a
denomination, and his office
holders will elect him if they
can. But, retire when he will.
he will have growu rich in the
Presidential Office, into which
he went IL poor man.
And in this last circum-
stance he again directly differs
from Jefferson who, coming in.
to Office with a competence,
left ita poor man, as he de-
clined all gifts, and was SO de.
voted to his duties that his
private business was neglected
to its ruin. He held that "the
people can never see with ap-

of which they entrust to the
