households. The proprietors were COM
PEELED to issue circulars, warning the
public, and calling in all volumes in

KILLEDBY FALsEHooD.-"Hei is dead,'
said a friend Of ours the other day, in
answer to an inquiry after the health of
a mutual acquaintance. Dead you
don't say so. OF what did he die p
"Of Credulity,' was the reply ; he be-
lieved in a patent medicine of which
the chief ingred .ent was for.y-rod rum,
and it proved the death of him. This
; was true; the unfortunate man had
taken, for liver complaint, a compound
of fiery alcohol and root juice, and it
had killed him. Now, did that mis-,
, guided invalid require a tonic? He did !;
but not a spirituous excitant. The
writer of this brief statement is conf
dent from his own experience. that if the
, Martyr to Dragged Alcohol had resorted to
DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR BIrTERs, instead of to
the poison ,ruh medical idhe which proved
: fatal to him, he would to-day be in the land of
the living. The justly popular vegetable
specific contains no destructive element. 1t
is a tonic that does not excite, cathartic that
does not weaken an antiseptic that neutraliZes
the seeds of disease in the blood and other
fluids of the body, and general Alternative
which arrests diseased action in the secretve
organs, and restores the functional regularity
indispensable to health and vigor We are no
friend of indiscriminate praise, and believe
that many patent medicines are merely poison,
but the experience of thousands has proved
the VINEGAR BITTERs to be all they claim. Com.
