UndexeIoped YiRnr.

The feeble and debilitated usually fancy they are in
9 more hopeless condition than they really are. The
resources of nature are not easily exhausted. Even
when strength and appetite fail. when the eyes are
heavy and Iusterless, the complexion palIid, the
nerves tremulous, the body attenuated, and the mind
depressed, there is generally a reserve of latent power
behind such palpable evidences of weakness. Various
modes of treatment are resorted to by physicians in
the hope of developing and rendering available this
store of sleeping vitality, but the surest and indeed
the only thoroughly safe and reliable means of
awakening the dormant energies of the system is q
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Electricity,
shower baths. the flesh bSpsh. sea bathing. &C., may
be well enough in their way, as auxiliarieS, but they
do not reach the source of the evil. All physical de
bility proceeds either from a arrangement of the
functions of the assimilating. secretive and vital or
gans, or from q sluggish constitution. In either case,
and also IN cases where both causes exist, the Bitters
will invariably produce an immediate and salutary
change in the condition of the patient, and eventually
effect a complete cure. None of the dangerous aka
loids, too often administered as tonics, can be other
wise than deleterious under such circumstances, and
to give mercury is positively criminal. The direct
effect of the great vegetable specific will be manifest
cd in an improved appetite, a more cheerful frame of
mind. a gradual return of strength, an increase of
flesh, and a healthier complexion. Meanwhile, how
ever, the constitution, if inert and feeble, will have
been reused and renovated by the subtle elements of
IMMIGRATION contained in the Bitters.

CALIFORNIA; BIGGEST NUGGET.-How
much we owe to California! Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands
of our fellow citizens, and have proved
the main stay of America in times Of
national pecuniary embarrassment. Her
mining industries have given employ
ment to myriads of mechanics and Ia
borers. She is the land of promise to
the fortune-seeker. But the Golden
State has lately sent US a new treasure.
Her last nugget is DR.. WALKERS CALL
FoRNIA VINEGAR BITTERs. The health
giving principles contained in this cura-
tive are a precious boon than gold.
In all affections of the liver and stom-
ach, remittent and Intermittent fevers, rheu-
matism, and pulmonary diseases, it may be
relied upon. AS a blood depurent and invig-
GRANT, it is unequaled, purifying the clrcula-
ton and infusing new vigor into the debilitat-
ed frame. 1t eonquers that most unyielding
of all complaints-dyspepsia and we know
of no other remedy that can accomplish this.
Its entire freedom from alcoholic spirit, which
retards and neutralizes the effect of any med
icine, and which forms the basis of many of
the pseudo bitters and tonics, doubly nhances
its value to the sick. The papers of the Uni
ted States vie with one another in doing
honor to DIR. Walker. We, too, add our voice,
and say all honor to the man VIII ose science
and skill have enabled him to draw from the
vegetable kingdom such a balsam for human
suffering.-GCom.

TIE NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE Com

mer of 1868. Since that time, with a
capital $4,000, O0O) larger than any
other life insurance company in Amer
lea, it has been the leading stock COM
pany in the country, if not in the world.
Its charges for insurance are only about
e-fourths those of Mutual compa-
MES, while it has nearly ta0o dollars Of as
sets for every dollar of liability. This factis
worthy of special consideration, as there
is as much difference in the value of in
surance policies as there is i'll the value
of railroad bonds. Its management is
in the hands of E. A. ROLLINS, Ex-
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, as
President; JAY Cooke, Chairman of FL
nance and Executive Committee; E.
w. PEER, formerly Of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of New York, as
Actuary, and j. M. BUTLER, as Secre-
tary, with a Board of Directors of Ma
tional reputation. 1t wants an efficient
aud reliable agent in every town in the
country, where it has not n already
employed, and its commissions for bust
ness are both liberal and continuous.
Correspondence with reference to in
surance or employment may be ad-
dressed to the branch office IN Phlla-

Company is transacted. The Company
is worthy the largest patronage, an an
