Our Bodily Infrmities.

Physical infrmities are the lot of all. Millions are
always sick. No man, woman or child is uniformly
in perfect health. Much, however, of the sick
ness and suffering which render life q bur-
den to SO many of our fellow beings is due to care
Iessness and neglect. A mighty antidote to the lead
ing causes of disease has been provided. 1t is as
harmless as it is efficient. No poisonous drug enters
into its composition. Tits an indebted stimulant,
tonic and aperient. of which every ingredient is
vegetable. This unexceptional preventive and resto-
rative medicine is not "a new thing under the sum-
Hostetter'sS Stomach Bitters will soon have been be-
fore the world a quarter of a century, and it is not
too much to aver that thousands, aye, tens of thou
sands, are now using it who weuld have been in
their graves years ago had they not been strength
ened and sustained by this wholesome stimulant.
The rapidity with which minor ailments often be-
come, when neglected, obstinate diseases. is well
known. This tonic is famous for the immediate
check which it gives to those breeders ofdeadly disor-
ders. The sensation of languor, the sick headache.
the nervousness, the indisposition to ~exertion, the
nausea, the confusion of brain. the physical debility.
which are intended to premonish us of the approach
of serious danger, are invariably removed by a few
doses of the Bitters. The fame of the preparation as
a genuine specific for dyspepsia, bilious complaints,
malarious fevers, rheumatism and chronic debility,
is as wide as the world and in these days of infa-
nous charlatanism, when fierce cathartics, that rob
the invalid of the last remnants OF his strength, are
advertised as invigorants (). it is ind sed a blessing
everywhere rocurable, and everywhere popular
loom.

A WeII-C Cultivated Ear.

One of the most remarkable illustra-
tions of the power which a Geographic
operator acquires to distinguish indi-
viduals by their touch upon the instru-
ment, has just been afforded by MI.
Hampstead, one of the operators in the
Western Union Telegraph Company's
office in this city. About a fortnight
ago, Mike w. Sherman, formerly an ex-
pert and well-known telegraph operator
here, escaped from the Middleton In
sane Asylum, where he has been con-
fined, and though thorough search was
made for him he successfully eluded the
people who were on his track until
Monday night. While Hampstead was
at work in the Office here that night he
suddenly recognized, among the clatter
of a score of messages passing over the
wire, a sound which he at once declared
was the touch of the missing Mike. 1t
proved to be a message from Walling-
ford, and an investigation showed that
MI. Hampstead was quite right in as
cribing it to the insane man, who was
found there yesterday, he having drop
ped into the Office in the former place
Monday night, and taken a hand at mis-
old business.-Haruord Post.

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIoNs.-Perhaps
no man living has won more golden
opinions than DR.. Walker, as the enor-
nous and widely increasing sale of his
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs attests.
We never look into one of our ex-
changes, but there is a panegyric of the
Bitters staring us in the face. Our
readers will say that there must be a
reason for all this praise. They are
right. The efficacy of this celebrated
medicine is established by evidence
which it is impossible to doubt. Among
the thousands who have borne testi-
mony to its excellence, there is not n
dissentient voice. In very many phases
of inorganic disease it seems to be unfailing:
All diseases arising from a vitiated state OF
the blood are surely eradicated by 1T. 1t is an
effectal remedy for pulmonary complaints,
bilious, remittent and Intermittent fevers,
rheumatism and dyspepsia. 1t purges the
body of all unhealthy humors, gives tone to
the system, and where the vital powers are
enfeebled, restores to vigorous and healthy
action. All this it does the more effectually
because its operation is not interfered with
by the presence of alcohol. The VINEGAR
BITTERs is perfectly free from any such hurt
full Ingredient. We have always believed that
plants contain the true remedies for disease,
and all the remedies necessary. DR.. Walker
is on the line of real progress, and we hope
that he will not rest on his present discov-
cries -ECom,

is implicit and universal in the paramount efficacy of

THE Wyndl.ams in Saratoga:

Last evening, the brilliant comedy Of
Saratoga was repeated By the Wyndham
Company for the second time in this city.
Tie audience was not so large as might
have been expected from the season, but
the piece went with all the sparkle and
yivacitv that provoked such complimentary
remarks at its first representation. We have
before spoken Of the many fine points and
splendid effects that distinguish tins repre-
sourati0u and render it, if not, the best,
one of the most amusing in their repertoire.
and should attract large audiences at each
performance. 1t is announced for repetition
tonight ana tomorrow.
Tie forthcoming novelty announced by
Mr.. Nyndham is q new comedy adapted
from the French, entitled "Fliends." This
play, OF it's original production IL Paris,
caused an immense excitement and much
newspaper controversy in regard to the So
cial problems it treats Of. Public opinion
was reused 10 the highest state OF excite
ment, and the piece enjoyed an unpre-
cedented run to crowded houses during the
entire season. The present adaptation Is
produced fOr the first time n this country,
and retains all the fine and witty points OF
the original, and it will certainly create a
sensation here where feeling, sentiment
and taste are so entirely French. 1t will be
produced on the withdrawal OF Saratoga.
