m~GUARD YOUR HEALTH AND LIFE.
How inconsistent is human nature. Nj nwho carry
revolvers to protect themselves against rutlans
in well polished cities, where the precautlon IS
unnecessary, often neglect to fortlty their sys-
tens against disease in the most unhealthy sea
sons. Thousands of dyspeptics and other lnval-
ids are now languishing in sick rooms or 1eeply
and llstlessly moving through our streets, VINO
owe their forlorn condition solely to a want OF
common prudence Far more inimical than the
roughs and rowdies, against whose possible at
tacks the tinid arm themselves, are the morbid
elements that pervade the atmosphere at this
time of the year. and yet, although
it is an undenied and undeniable fact that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters afford more perfect
protection against these causes OF disease than
any weapon of offence can afford against laWless
violence, the reckless and inconslderate contln,
ue to brave the danger with positive safeguard
within their reach.
Every day, however, the number of these
martyrs to their own want of forecast diminish
es. Each succeeding season demon:trates more
clearly the nestimable value OF the Bltters, both
as an antdote for the causes OF disease ana a
specific for its consequences The miasma which
generates periodic disorders, rhenmatlsm' liver
complaint, irregularity OF the bowels and other
physical disturbances, produces no effect what
ever upon systems toned, strenghtcned and reg
ulatcd by this powerful vegetable medicine, and
dyspepsia, nervous debility, constipation, inter
mittent and remittent fevers, biliousncss, and IN
fact nearly all the maladcs which the Bltters, II
taken in time, Tond prerent are cHr" by the
perseverng use.of tie great remedy

never by the barrel, keg or gallon, AS Is repre-

being under consideration, VIM. kilgour. Of
the Columbia said that he understood there
was some objection on the part of companies
not equipped, and that the Friendship and Hy-
draulion would participate only in order to
have full turn out He. for one, was unwilling
to place any company under that necessity, and
would prefer foregoing the demonstration.
S. S. Brown, of the Friendship, stated that
only twelve members of that company were
equipped, but that if the other companies pa
raded. the Friendship would, and he thought
many more members would uniform.
some members OF the Hydraulion opposed to
parade, YET large majority had decided in
favor OF one, and the rest had expressed their
intention of Joining in it. Though the company
was but partially equipped he thought the
members were not influenced by the motive MIR.
\ilgour had suggested, i'll asserting to the
proposition for Il parade but were i'll favor of
reviving the old I'D celebration, and for him
self, he thought that the sureSt way of getting

Carne enqu;red whether an affirmative vote

chairman deciding that it would, the Hy,rau-
lion delegates declined voting, as, though ln-
dividually in favor of the motion, and having
no doubt Of the wish Of their company to unite,
they had been instructed to report their pro
ccedings to an adjourned meeting, tonight, for
ratification. The motion was, therefore, de-
cared lost, by a tie vote.
After considerable debate of conversational
character, on motion OF Mr.. Reischell, the Con-
veution adjourned until Saturday evening at /
