Poisoned Whisky.
From the Philadelphia Price Current


Western distillers have recently IN
vented a new system OF manufacturing
whisky, by means of which a peculiar
strength and odor are impaired 10 the
product, highly injurious to The health
of consumers, and certainly not cred
liable to those engaged IN it's sale.
Neither the noxious ingredients them
selves nor the process of manufacture
are known to many outside the ring,
but sufficient has leaked out to show
the character of the men and the bust
ness. Sulphuric acid is blended with
the mash or applied directly to the
product Of the stills, which imparts a
disagrceabie odor TO the whisky; and
SO powerful Is It's effect upon it that it
corrodes and eats up the barrels in
which the foul compound is kept.
Another feature Of the rotgut, sold
under the name of whisky, is that it
cannot be extracted by any process of
distillation, Redistribution or rcctitica-
ton. This fact has caused it's pres
cncc to he traced in highWlnCs pur-
chased from the West by respectable
diStillers here, and prompted them to
shut down on the ncfarious traffic rs
injurious to life and the interests OF the
trade. BY experiment it has been
tested that if a small piece Of iron or
copper is inserted into barrel Of Wills
Ky adultcratcd with this acid, the en-
tire mass viii he instantly blackencd,
and if left III it for short time will
evolve a large quantity of disacctatc Of
copper or verdigris. Such compound
cannot fail to prove fearfully injurious
to the public health, if brought into
general nse, and we are glad 10 per
ccive that combined effort is con
templated by the trade to discard it
altogether If this be not sufficient,
the consequences are sufficiently sc
rious To call for some legislative enact
ment by which the aale of this poison
GUS stuff shall be prohibited under the
5eyerest penalties.

the system with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters This
approved vegetable tonic is absolutely harmless,
that it is sheer folly not to take it a safeguard at
season when diseases of the liver, the stomach, the
bowels, and indeed all the visccra organs, are gem
orally prevalent To keep the system in order and in
sure health, or to put it i'll order, when this eu-
ton has been neglected, is the duty " every human
being who values life. For both these purposes
Hostctter's Btters designed, and it answers both.
Petty local dealers are endeavoring, in many parts

them wide berth. They are prepared by unskilful

The punishment of the wheel, which

most frightfui that can be imagined.
The criminal was extended on st. An

inches cut, one below each arm between
the elbow aud wrist another between
each elbow and the shoulder one I'M
der each thigh, and one under each
leg. The CNCcutIoner armed with a
heavy triangular bar of IRON, gave avio-
lent blow on each Of these eight places,
and Of course broke the bone; and a
ninth on the pit Of the stomach. The
mangled victim was now lifted from the
cross and stretched on a small wheel,
placed vertically Mt one of the ends of
the cross, his back on the upper part
of the wheel, his head and feet hanging
down. The sentence provided that he

in either, the chilling damps, the malarious
fogs, the varieties OF temperature that mark
the commencement of the winter season
are sure to find 1t out. There are few sys-
TENS that have not a weak spot somewhere,
and the wisest thing that any man or wo-
man can do Is to fortify 1t by course Of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and thus keep
the enemy at bay. In war, when city Is
menaced, the first thing to be done is to
strengthen the ramparts. The same policy
should be adopted with the human body,
when its direst foe, malaria, is abroad. If
the stomach Is weak, this tonic will lend it
vigor; If the bowels are morbidly sensitive,
this Alternative will regulate them; II the llv-
err is inert, this wholesome stimulant will
rouse II; II there is constipation, this aper-
lent will cureit; II there is nervous debility,
this nervine will replace 1t with nervous
vigor;.ift there Is impurity in the blood, this
depurent will neutralize 1t; II there Is
cloud on the spirits, this exhilerant will
dispel It. These are facts that have been
