him if his house had not been rob.

replied that it had. 81" said the

rich; let me make restitution; here

gave the farmer $50 bill, and
received thirty dollars in change.
He then wrung the farmers hand
warmly and left. The farmer has
since dried his tears and loaded his

Midsummer Maladies.
The hot solar rays that ripen the bar

! The hot solar rays that ripen the har.
vests generate many distressing dis.
eases. If the Liver be at all predis.
posed to irregularities, this is the sea-
son in which bilious attacks may be
anticipated. A weak stomach, too, is
weakest in the summer months, and
the loss of vitality through the pores
by excessive perspiration is SO great,
that a wholesome tonic, combing also
the properties of a diffusive stimulant
and geutle exhilarant, is in many cases
necessary to health, and under no cir
cumstances shouldsbe dispensed with
by the sickly and debilitated. OF all
the preparations intended thus to re-
fresh, sustain, and fortify the human
frame, there is none that will compare
with Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters. They have been weighed in
the balance ofexperience and not found
wanting; have been recommended from
the first as a great medicinal specific,
not us beverage, and in spite of in
terested opposition from innumerable
quarters, stand, after a twenty years
trial, at the head of all proprietary
medicines intended for the prevention
and cure Of all ordinary complaints of
the stomach, the liver, the bowels aud
the nerves. In the unhealthy districts
bordering the great rivers of Califor.
MIA, Hostetters Stomach Bitters may
be classed as the standard one for eve
~ species of intermittent or remittent
fever. The people who inhabit those
DISTRICTS, place the most implicit conf
dence in the preparations confidence
that is increased every year by the re-
suits of its operations.
AS Bitters, so-called, of the most per-
hlcious character, are sprinaing up like
fungi ON every side, the public is here
by forewarned against the dram shop
frauds. Ask for Hostetter's Bitters-
zee that the label, etc., are correct, and
that the genuine article
