A PERILOUS SEASON.

Glorious and delightful as the summer weather
is, its tropical heat is severe trial to the vital
powers Even the strongest are sometimes pros
trated by its effects. The common phrase applied
to this condition of the body is general debili-
ty" Now, general debility arises from, and in
cludes a variety of ailments The liver is more
or less affected, the bowels are either constipa-
ted or too much relaxed. the stomach but half
performs the work Of digestion, the appetite is
poor. and the spirits depressed. This is what is
called general debility. 1t is general derange-
ment OF all the physical functions, and requires
as remedy medicine that will regulate them
all. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is specially
adapted to this purpose IT'S general operation
Is not confined to single organ # the liver is
affected, it restores its Tone IF the stomach is
torpid, it regererates it If the nerves are trem-
ulous and weak, it braces and reinforces them
If the mind, which ever sympathises with the
body, is gloomy and Respondent, it relieves the
difficulty. and soon brings the whole mechanism
of the body into harmony with the laws of health
There is no civilized nation in the Western
Hemisphere in which the utility of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as a tonic, corrective, and anti
bilious medicine, is not known and appl eciated.

the people and the profession, the standard spe

all climates, it is especially suited to the com
plants generated by the weather, being the pu-
rest and best vegetable stimulant in the world
Beware of the Bitters made of acrid and dang
erous materials, which unscrup .llous parties are
endeavoring to foist upon the people. Their.
name is legion, and the public has no guarantee
that they are not poisonous. Adhere to the tried

The Surveyor is taking the metes and
boundaries of the streets in the northern part
of the city. The council contemplate inn
provement in the walks of that locality, and
have determined to ascertain precisely the
lines of the streets. In numerous instances
it is found that fences and walls of individual
property, encroach on the property of the
city. We believe it is the purpose to lay the
new pavement precisely where the surveyors
locate the bounds OF the city ground, what
ever inconvenience it may be to trespassers.
This will be rather an expensive arrange

it will be best for all parties in the end

CHRONOLOGICAL.

The Enquirer is getting heavy on ethnol-
ogy but it makes hitch on 1000 years
'B. c." propounding this very innocent
inquiry: And how. does it happen that in
no part of the world--Asia, Africa, Eu-
rope or Americas there any trace of an
older ciyilization?"
Now, we can answer our neighbours in
quiry by saying, just as dogmatically as its
own propositions are put, that the known
history of the human race Tor races does
show colder traces" by thousands of
years, of Civilization" than the period
fixed by the Enquirer and no man laying
any just pretensions to chronological science
in these days, would venture contrary as
sertion. The pyramids of Egypt, not by
any means the oldest structures of the
world, 90 much farther back than two
thousand years before the Christian era.
"There Isl says the Enquirer, IS SINH
larity in the language, the religion, the
architecture, of all nations, pointing to a
universal kinship and common origin"
This is another assertion that would make
its author the laughing-stock Of any ethno-
logical society in Europe where he should
publicly venture it. 70 say nothing about
religion and architecture, language indis-
putably contradicts the statement of our
contemporary. There is no similarity
whatever between the Aryan and 1'ara,sian
stock of languages. They are as wide
apart, in their structure and philosophy, as
the pyramids of Egypt and the ant-hills OF
Caffraria. The one is mfectional, the
other merely agghdinatiUe the one is the
language of highly civilized and phil
osophically cultured people, the oGher a
child-language in comparison with it. If
the argument of language is to be used to
prove an absurd proposition, let the facts Of
language not be perverted, much less mis-
tated, ~.
