SPECIAL .SUTICES.

nsrMEDlcINAL Persons ON THE WANE.-
The patriarchs took no mercury, no blsmuth, no
IODINE no bromide of potassium, no strychorla,
no quinne Happy old gentlemen! they did
cities" and yet they lived until it seemed as if
Death had forgotten them. Their medicines
were herbs and roots. They have left this fact
on record and the world seems to be now TAX
ing note of it and returning to the first principles
of medication. Hostetters Stomach Blttcrs, the
unrest and most etticaciouS vegetable restorative
of the day, is also the most popular. Thousands
Of persons who only few years ago DolleVed
imnlicitlv in all The poisons which figure in the
phurmacepia, now pronounce this palataDle
tonic and altcrati an all-sutticcnt remedy for
dyspepsia, nervous debility, constipation, bill
ious complaints, headache, intermittent tcvcrs
and all tho ordinary disturbances of the stom-
ach, the liver, the dscharging organs and the
brain. The time is not far distant when most OF
the powerful and venomous drugs now SO reck-
lcssly administered by practitioners OF the ne
roic school, in cases that might easily De con-
troled by milder treatment, will be utterly dis
carded by all philosophical physicians. As it Is,
the thinking public, who are generally ahead Of
the professionals, have already put the danger
Gus preparations aside and adopted Hostetter' S
Bitters in their stead as a safe and excellent
household medicine, adapted to almost every
ailment except the organic and deadly conta-
pous diseases. For more than twenty years
this famous restorative and preventive has been
annually strengthening its hold upon, the public
confidence, and it now takes the lead OF every
advertised medicine manufactured in this coun-
try. aug l--eol"
Ms-'"THE LIFE OF THE FLESH Is THE BLOOD"
This being the fact, it is very obvious that when
the blood becomes corrupted, the Shole system
becomes corrupt also. To relieve this, the true
policy undoubtedly is to direct the remedy to
the source of the disease 1t is in this manner
that Dr. Tufts sarssparills and Qqcen's Delight
fes it, vilafzes it, and expels all distemper from
the system -
Being free from violent minerals, it is adapted
to general use. The old and young may use it;
the most delicate female, at any time may take
it the week and enfeebled will be strengthened
BY it; the tender infant, who may have inherited
disease, will be cured by it.
For Syphilis, and all its trains of evils, it is a
sure antidote.
DR.. TUFTS Liver Pills are mild and gentle
purgstive, possessing the peculiar merit of act
ing as powerful agent in relieving congestve
or torpid liver. They have no equal.
