DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES; if they did,
anathemas against the depicting lancet, the
drastic purge, and the terrible salivants of the
matera medica, would arise from every grave
yard. The motto of modern medical science is
'ePreseroe and Regulate, not destroy,'' and no
remedy in our day is so entirely in harmony
with this philanthropic logic as DR. WALKERS
VEGETABLE VINEGAR BITTERs. In this pow
erful, yet harmless restorative, dyspepsia, bill
lous complaints, and all diseases of the stom-
ach, liver, bowels and nerves, encounter an ir-
resistable antidote. GEH mar4-4w
WHAT Is VrTALIrY?-Some philosophers call
it Animal Magnetism, some Nervous Force, 9TH
ers Caloric, but by whatever name it may be
called, the thing meant is the main spring of ex..
istence; it is the principle weinherit, ami which
moy be nOurshed by proper attention to the re-
quirements of the body and the avoidance of ex-
cesses; it Is wasted or destroyed by overtaxing
the mind with study or anxiety and intemper-
ate indulgences, indeed, it requires an expendi-
ture or vitality for every thought or action
When the body and the brain are well balanced,
the stomach is capable of restoring the waste;
but when the brain is large in proportion, the
stomach is incapable of supplying it; IN other
words, the expenditur is too large for the in
come. Here lies the cause of SO much suffering
from diseases of the Heart Liver, Stomach and
Lungs, and Fellows Compound Syrup of Hy-
pophosphites is the only preparation known
which imparts this vitality directly and conse-
quently the power to overcome disease. 7 ara

LECTURE AT ALFRED.-Mr. John Coombs of
the Newburyport Mass. Herald delivered the sixth
lecture of the course at Alfred; and it was in
deed an of intellectual feast His subject was
'sThe Elements of National Perpetuity." He
very ably set forth the Importance OF four ele-
ments, among which were patriotism and NOR
al principle. He told US what they were and
how they had, and might work deleteriously.
Under the head of moral principle he gave us
history enough from Rome, France and Eng
land to show how retribution would certainly
follow on the track of the nation that lacked
that important element. an
The lecture is designed to have very saluta-
nv influence. 1t will make better citizens. 1t
will arouse in every man more faithful care
to the sacred trusts of the Nation.
Mr.. c. does not pretend to be an orator and
has written more for the good he can do than
to please the fancy, and he has not failed in
his effort in either respect. I.

THE REGISTRY OF VOTERS.

TO the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
SIR: Yesterday, when rendering my vote at
the Twelfth Ward polls, was informed by the
receiver Of votes that my name was not on the
register, and consequently would be obliged to
subscribe to written affidavit setting forth that
was a legal voter in that ward, and that the
said document would have to be attested by Il
householder residing in the same ward. Loitcr-
ing about the polls for that purpose until I be-
came tired and chilled, I returned home without
voting. Several years ago registered my name
on the poll books OF the Twelfth Ward and have
voted there at every election since without re-
registering, and it struck me as being very queer
that my name was not now an the books.
After persistent inquiry, the whole matter was
made plain to me, as follows:
The books of the Twelfth Ward are, and al
ways have been, in the possession of the Grant
party, who have not been allow to use them to
their advantage. On the eve of every election
the ward is thoroughly canyassed, to ascertain
the politics OF each registered voter. The names
Of those ascertained to be Of the Grant persua-
sion are carefully entered on the new books
while those opposed ere 6s carefully omitted.
This little dodge yesterday left everything clear
for the Administration voters, while many poor
Greeleyites (who, like myself, have strayed from
the flock Of the faithfully, rather than go the
necessary trouble, abstained from voting. But,
my object in addressing this to you is to inquire
whether this little proceeding is in accordance
with the registry and other laws regulating
elections. a SUBSCRIBER.
