uSACrs FOR THE PE0PEE.-Dscov-

T. cries in mechanism or manufacture, by
which money and labor are saved, are admitted
to be of incalculable value to the race of man
kind. How much more valuable, then, is that
discovery in science which promotes health,
lengthens life and dlspels diseases from the hu-
man frame? To such discoverer the world
must ever remain indebted, for all its wealth is
but drop in the bucket compared to the life of
a fellow beng. Indeed mankind is too inored-
ulous to believe that any great Panacea can be
concocted for all the ills of life, and when q
scientific man asserts that he has made such a
discovery, the breadth of his declaration at
once causes doubt to arise, he is Immediately
declared empyric, and his nostrums, however
valuable In some respects, are branded "quack-
cry" and at once discarded. That remedies may
be produced for all diseases of similar origin
we have not the shadow of doubt. Indeed, we
know this to be true, for we have seen it thor
oughly tested in Bakers Premium Bitters, out
great as are the curative powers of this invalua-
BILE vegetable medicine, and wonderful as has
been its effects in relieving nervousness, general
debility, costiveness, indigestion, heartburn,
dyspepsia, sick stomach, bowel complaint, ague
and fever, and depression of spirits. we do not
pretend to claim for it the mastery oyer hun
dreds of other diseases that we might name
We know that when used in low, marshy coun-
tries, where ague and fever prevalent, it will
prevent this disease as we'll as hilliousness, and
that it viii cure all others for which it is
mended, when regularly taken We also know
that it is the best tonic ever used by delicate fe-
males and teething children, and that it will
cure the acidity of the stomach in o very short
time. But it is useless for us to say more about
its virtues Manufactured in our midst, pre-
pared from recipe Of one of the ablest Ply
sicians in the Union, and taken and recon-
mended to others by our people, are the best ev-
licences that could be given that Bakers Pre-
MUM Bitters are what they purport to be-the
greatest family medicine of the age. Let the
doubling try them, and then speak of their mer-

South should support her own schools and col
les, and above all, her medicinal prepara-
lions when skilfully concocted, and for the rea-
son that Southern physicians, chemists and phar-
maceut1sts understand the diseases of the South
ern climate far better. than scientific men of q
different latitude possibly can, and should there
fore be the better prepared to prescribe RENE
dies. More than a quarter of a century ago, a
Physician, of marked distinction in Virginia
discovered, after great labor, and untailing rem
edy for DYSPEPSIA, DIARRHGA., and 9th
er diseases of the stomach and bowels, and after
testing its efficacy in hundreds of cases, with the
most complete success, determined to give it to
the world under the name of BAKERS PRE-
MUM BITTERS. At his death the recipe
passed into the hands of the present proprietor
and for the past thirty years, despite the efforts
of quacks to supersede it, for truth is as impOs-
sible to be soiled by any outward touch as the
sunbeam, it has been steadily working its way
into public favor, restoring the careworn and
emaciated Dyspeptic to health and vigor. reju-
venating the premature old from indigestion
strengthening the weak and enfeebled, and dis
polling from hundreds of families the use of
those poisonous minerals, which, at one time,
were administered with deadly effect for every
malady. North or South, East or West, these
Bitters have no equal as tonic, are entirely
harmless to all ages and sexes, and will prove
beneficial in every condition of life.
