Periodic Disorders.

The paroxysmal maladies which are character.
lied Wy heat and cold, prevail extensively at this
season, and it is curious fact that in many parts
of the country where they prevalent, other
diseases, that bear general resemblance to fever
anG ague, or remittent fever, assume a periodic
type. Thus, in many sections infested with chs
ard fever, rheumatism, neuralgia, hysteria, diar-
reGa, &c, sometimes become intermittent thereby
indicating that they have been engendered by the
same poisonous cxhalatons which produce the
first named disease.
In all these masked cases Of ogue-for such they
areas well as in the regular intermittents the
most safe and reliable remedy that can be admin
lhtered Is Hostetters stomach Bitters. Neither
quInlne nor arsenic are needed, both are in the
highest degree dangerous, and are to leave
sad traces of their poisonous action i'll the system,
whether they arrest tie paroxysms or not. In

the minute bood-vesses which causes the chill is
the result Of nervous weakness, produced by the
debilitaIing operation OF I'm unwholesome atmos-
phere, and the tone and vigor given to the nervous
system by the Bitters, enable it to throw OF the
disease The wiser policy, however, is to antici-
pate attacks OF this nature by arousing all the Ia
tent energies Of the body a. tt3 ecgeGeE 3aSise;fs

to be pursued. in reference to the former is
perfectly simple and easy. There being 4
deficiency of tonnage the judgment of the
board is that every barrier should be removed
to its acquisition by American merchants,
wherein they find that which is suitable for
their purposes. The council has, therefore,
presented memorial drawn with great care
in accordance with the expressed and unani-
nous opinion of the board, asking for per-
mission to American shipowners TO register
under their own flag for purposes of foreign
trade steamers and sailing vessels wherever
built, including all tonnage alienated TO the
foreign flag during the war, so as the owners
may desire this. The memorial also rec
ommends the withdrawal of duty from bonded
warehouses, of ship stores and supplies and
of articles needed for repairs.

THE GREAT HAIR PRoDUCER. Hair Oils
Fountains and Pomades have had their day.
They belong TO the Tusty past. Nobody that
understands the chemistry Of the hair and the
philosophy of its growth thinks of using them.
Instead of clogging the pores of the seal with
thick onguents, and thus obstructing the in
sensible perspiration Which is essential to the
health of the fbers, we now tone the surface
of the head with an invigorating application
which penetrates to the roots of the hair and
stimulates them in the same way that the fer
tlizing agents spread over the meadows slim
ulate the grass roots and cause the blades to
spring up in myriads, coating the earth With
verdure. The invigorant best adapted to this
purpose is LYoNs kATHAIRoS. 1t may we'll
be called the fertilizer of the head. To the
barren scalp it communicates the vegetative
power. Ii the hair is dropping out or becom
ing dry und withered, it arrests the process
of dilapidation or blight. The hair thickens
and becomes glossy and ,xible under its ge
NAL operation, and as dressing it is unap-
preached by any preparation that has yet
been laid on the toilet of Fashion.

A | UNIVERSAL ARTICLE OF FAITH.-In these
days of religious contention it has been
thought impossible to indicate an article of
faith upon which all sects and classes were
united. There is one, however, and very
notable one, too, viz: belief which is i'm
plicit and universal in the paramount efficacy
OF that matchless household tonic and recu-
perant Plantation Btters. The constantly
increasing patronage which it receive s has, it
is true, excited the petty envy of certain sple
netic advertisers Of pinclbeck paneceas, who
hope to make market for their own stagnant,
watery wares, by decrying all spirituous med
ical preparations. But the public can stom-
ach neither their arguments nor their pota-
tions, and consequently reject these very
weak limitations of the enemy as entirely too
thin! mar4-eod t&w

interior cities in order to make the act more
efficient have been recommended, and has
urged the formation of a sanitary board Of
appeal to protect our citizens and our foreign
commerce from the irresponsible control of
local quarantine officers. 1t has presented
the resolutions adopted by the board at St
Louis in favor of the gradual and moderate
contraction of the greenback currency, and
of revision of the tariff system of the coun-
try so that monopoly may be checked; a
ture established and native industry protect

forts of life to the masses of the people.
The council has appeared before both COM
mittees OH commerce of Congress, and have
represented the views of the board on the
shipping question. The board discriminates

posed Tor the relief Of the latter, the course
