THE LATEST SwINDLE.-Certain
sanctimonious charlitans would fain
persuade the world that diffusive slim
ulants have no medicinal value, and
that detestable slops, composed ofgrip-
ing acids and drastic purgatives, are
better tonics than the finest vegetable
ingredients combined with the purest
and mellowest products of the still.
But this sort Of thing won't go down.
The stomach of our common sense re-
jects it, as the physical stomach ofevery
man with an undepraved palate rejects
with loathing and adherence, the
nauseous denominations, "free from al
cohol," which Humbugs are trying to
thrust down the throats ofTemperance
Invalids under the preteDse that the
filth will do them good? 1t is not like
ly that while PLANTATION BITTERs,
the Standard Tonic of America, is any
where accessible, such sickening frauds
can make much headway, but it is as
we'll to put the public on their guard
against them.
During our interview, the American
Consul at Bankok, presented the King

to his majesty their origin from the
great chemist and their uses. The
Cherry Pectoral for coughs-the Sarsa-
parilla for eruptive diseases and the
Ague Cure for the fevers that are so
fatal in this hot country. The danger
Gus condition of favoTite wife in the
palace with one of the disorders these
medicines cure, gave him special inter-
est in these products of medical skill;
indeed, these medical marvels interest
ed him more in our country than all the
other attentions we had shown him.
