q old colored man, went to his door where he
had heard noise when some unknown scoun-
a large stone, knocking him senseless. His
wife raised the alarm, when Sheriff Gossett,
who was passing that way, promptly re-
paired to the spot, but: the cowardly ruffian
who perpetrated the act had fed, and made his
escape No reason could be assigned that would
prompt any one to commit an act of so coward

prnrrrss nf the Revolution.

A new light dawned upon the world with the
introduction of Plantation Bitters twelve years
ago. Drastic purgatiOn went out-restoration
and renovation came in. The eyes OF the peo-
pie were opened to The great fact that the way to
cure disease is to strengthen and support It's VIC
tins, not to place them at its mercy by deprly-
ing them of the little strength they have. 1t
soon became evident that as a means of lnfuslng
vitality into the feeble system, regulating the
secretions, curing indigestion, and reforming
bilious habit of body, no medicinal preparation
then known was at all comparable to the new
restorative. Since then hundreds of attempts
have been made to rival the Btters. They have
all failed, and the grand revolution in medical
treatment, which was commenced in 1850, IS
still in progress. Nothing can stop it, for it is
founded on the principle, now universally ac-
knowledged, that physical vigor is the most for
mdable antagonist of all human ailmonts, and
experience has shown that Plantation Bitters is
a peerless invigorant, as we'll rs the best posi-
bic safeguard against epidemic diseases.
