Warming Words.

The strength and nervous energy of the
human body ought to be increased during
the winter, Tor two reasons: In the first
place, diseases of the most deadly character
may be generated at this season; and sec
ondly, It Is of the utmost importance that
during the cold weather months the system
should be put in condition to withstand
the effects of the spring miasma, and the
subsequent depressing heat Of summer. II
Is, therefore, advisable, In fact essential, to
tone, regulate and invigorate the digestive
and secretive organs at this period of the
year, and Of all the stomachics and altera.
lives at present known, Hostetter's ~ omach
Bitters Is the most powerful, the most harm.
less, and the most agreeable. The tempera-
ture OF winter would be In itself q glorious
tonic, lift did not unfortunately, bring with
II a volume of chilling moisture and un-
wholesome winds, which have bad effect
on the skin and lungs. These must be guard.
ed against, or there Is no security for health
The effect Of q course Of the Bitters is to give
vigor and tone to the entire organization
the superficial muscles and nerves as we'll
as the Internal viscera. A regular habit OF
body n healthy and natural flow of bile an
active digestion, a good appetite, pure blood,
and vigorous circulation Of that fluid, are
among the blessings derivable from persist
ent use OF Hostetter's Stomach bitters, which
not only more than supplies the place
of the best tones, cathartics and antiseptics
prescribed in their separate forms by physi-
clans, but perform the three-fold work OF
IMMIGRATION, regulation and pur1ncation,
at one and the same time.

THE Philadelphia Gazette in an arti,
Gle which we copy elsewhere, opens up
for the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Ken
tucky railroad more brilliant future
than any of us imagined when voting
for a subscription to its stock. 1t
seems that the road down the Ohio
river forms a part Of Mr.. ScorT's scheme
for connecting the Southern Pacific
railroad with the Pennsylvania Central.
If this should be consummated, we may
expect large share OF the travel and
freight between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts to pass by our doors. At all
events, whether the connection with the
Southern Pacific road is ever completed
or not, we hope the time is not far dis
tant when the Pittsburgh, Wheeling
and Kentucky railroad will be extended
to the mouth Of the Big Sandy river.
The local advantage such road will
afford to this city and to the river coun-
ties of West Virginia may be appre
ciated when we remember how little
navigation we had during the year jus,
closed.
