all other stomaehics combined. Eminent
members of the medical profession, and hos
pitaI surgeons without number. have eandidly
admitted that the pharmacopeia of the faculty
contains no prescription that produces such
beneficial effects in dyspepsia, general debility
and nervous diseases, as Hostetter's Bitters.
To use the language Of venerable physician
Of New York. THE Bitters are the purest
stimulant and the safest tonic we have -
But the uses Of the great vegetable antidote
are much more comprehensive than such
praise would imply. As preparatory anti.
dote to epidemic disease, genial stimnlant,
promoter of constitutional vigor. an appe-
tizer, stomachic. and remedy for nervous
debility, no medicinal preparation has ever
attained the reputation Of Hostetter's Bitters.
It is the household tonic Of the American
people, and in all human probability viii be
so for centuries to come. The magnates of
science recognize its merits; and that it is
emphatically the medicine Of the masses. is
proved by its vast and ever increasing sales.

Changeable silk dresses are no longer
considered fashionable or stylish, as they
never come in very heavy quality. La
dies seem to prefer plain, rich silks, and
thereby show their good sense.
"We have q very satisfactory kind of
ague in our mind, writes a Western
friend to another. 1t comes creeping
M fellows back like a tun of wildcats,
goes crawling through his joints like
iron spikes, and is followed by fever
which prohibits the patient from think
ing of anything but the Independent
Order of Good Templars. 1t isn't the
every-other-day kind, but gets up with
man at daylight, and sleeps in the
small Of his back all night His teeth
feel about six inches too long his joints
wobble like a loose wagon wheel, and
the shakes are SO steady that one cant
hold any conversation except by putting
in dashes.
A humorous story is told of two prom
inent members of the House of Repre-
sentatives, when the onslaught on slav-
cry first began to assume formidable pro-
portions in Congress, John K. Giddings,
Of Ohio, and John Snyder, of Pennsyl-
vania, the latter a pro-slavery Democrat
and the former an Abolition leader, who
occupied one of the double desks then
in use. During the absence OF his as
sociate, Snyder had a board partition
placed down the center of the desk, de-
signed to satirize the alleged disunion
schemes of his nsighbor. Giddings was
surprised on his return, but was too
fond of a practical joke to be outwitted.
He had two slips printed in large type,
containing the well-known couplet;
Great wit to madness nearly, is allied.
And thin partitions do their bounds divide.
These he posted on each side Of the di-
vision. The laugh was now against
Snyder, and the partition was promptly
removed.
