Xxi BITTGHs
TIE BEST
LIVER REGULATOR KNOWN.

THE INVENTOR OF THIS EALLY WONDER
/ fUL TONIC, after a series Of years and eS-
rerim+nts. has succeeded in bringing before the
public all that can be desired of a pure Tonic and
Recuperator.
These Bitters are prepared from the most choice
and wholesome herbs and roots, and have given
universal satisfaction wherever tried. Thousands
of dyspeptics have found relief through their use,
and physicians recommend them for the cure Il ali
diseases Of the blood and liver and irregularities
Of the digestive organs.
Headache, Biliousness and Constipation, Gen
eral Debility and Loss Of Appetite, all are caused
10y the arrangement Of the stomach, Liver and
other functionaries Of the system. The lSL Bit
| tiers have been successfully used and are warranted
to alleviate the sufferer in all the above cases.
The unprecedented success Of our Bitters have
met with on this coast, and the numerous calls for
the same from the East, has induced Us to open a
house in Chicago, and thousands Of bottles are
sent daily to ali parts of the States, and the cal
ItORNIA IXL under which name
| they are soId there, are rapidly growing in gen
! eral favor and supplanting in most cases all other
tones and beverages.
Success creates rivals, and some inscription
parties are endeayoring to sell an imitation article,
put up similar enough in style aud outer appear
: a4lce, TO deceive the unwary. and We caution con
sUmeTs to examine the article before purchasing;
the genuine has cur trade mark blown in each
bottle, and Dr.. uEALEY'S signature pasted across
the top.

THE LIGHT IN THE EAST.

This is the title ola new, valuable and COM
prehensive religious work; embracing the
lives OF the most eminent men from the earli-
est tima to the present day.
One Of the great merits of this work is,that
1t comprises in one volumne that which is us
ually spread out through great many books
so that it may be said it is in effect a complete
library of religious literature in itself.
Such II work is needed in every household
to strengthen the faith Of the aged and keep
the young in the path virtue being perfectly
free from sectarian bias, beautifully cmbel-
lished with over 300 fine engravings and $50
pages it merits an extensive circulation and
cannot fail to win its way into every family
as the work commends itself to all.
Prof. CALVIN HALL, the authorized agent
for this valuable work, who is now canvass
ing the County, will remain in town for few
days and we commend him to the courtesy
and patronage of our citizens, and trust he
will meet with that success commensurate
with the rare merits Of the work.

The amount of money realized from the
first one, is not, we are informed, sulll

are in need. They, therefore, offer an
opportunity to those who participate in
the "mazy dance" to not only enjoy
themselves but at the same time contrib
ute something to aid this praiseworthy
enterprise. The occasion will, doubtless
be pleasant one. See programme IN

were TO keep them hale and hearty during the
summer. We all know now that this was
fallacy; that new vigOr, not depletion' Is
what Is required at the commencement OF the
summer solstice. As a preparation for the
eneryating effects Of oppressive summer
weather, a course Of Bostetter's Stomach
Bitters is highly expedient. This famous
VEGETABLE preparation has three prominent
properties: 1t renovates, pnrifias. and regu7
lates all the functions of the body. IT is COM
posed exclusively Of pure vegetable produc-
tons, viz: the essential principle Of Monon-
gahela Rye. and the most eflicacious tonic
and Alternative roots. banks. and gums known
to medical botanists. Hence. it is an abso-
lutely safe medicine. and no tinctnre Of the
Pharmacopeia can compare with It either In
purity or in the variety of its objects and
its comprehensive results, Happily for man
kind. the theory that il was necessary to
PROSTATE a patient in order to cure him. is
exploded. and the true philosophical doctrine,
that vigor is the great antagonist of disease,
has taken its place. Hostetter's Bitters is an
invigorant, and hence 1t is the proper medi-
cine for the feeble at this most trying season
Of the year. Be sure that you obtain the
genuine article. as there arc innumerable vile
limitations in the market. Look to the orna-
mental stamp, the engraved label, and the
name blown into the glass. Hostetter's stOm-
aeh Bitters is sold in bottles only.
