nIy~M EDICINAL PoIsoNs ON THE WANE.-
The patriarchs took no mercury, no bismuth, no
iodine, no bromide of potassium, no strychora.
no quinine. Happy old gentlemen they did
not even know of the existence of these 'sre-
cfcs," and yet they lived until it seemed as il
Death had forgotten them. Their medicines
were herbs and roots. They have left this fact
on record, and the world seems to be now TAX
ing note of it and returning to the rstprinciples
of medication Hostctter's Stomach Btters, the
purest and most etiicacous vegetable restorative
of the day, is also the most popular Thousands
Of persons who only few years ago believed
implicitly in all the poisons which figure in the
pharmacrpa, now pronounce TINS palataDe
tonic and alterati an all-sutiicient remedy for
dyspepsia nervous debility, constipation, bill
and all the ordinary disturbances of the stom-
ach, the liver, the discharging organs and the
brain The time is not far distant when most OF
the powerful and venomous drugs now so reck-
lcssly administered by practitioners of the The
roic'' school, in cases that might easily be con-
troled by milder treatment will be utterly dis
carded by all philosophical physicians. As it is,
the thinking public, who are generally ahead OF
the professionals have already put the danger
Gus preparations aside and adopted Hostettcr' s
Bitters in their stead as safe and excellent
household medicine, adapted to almost every
ailment except the organic and deadly conta-
gous diseases For more than twenty years
this famous restorative and preventive has been
annually strengthening its hold upon the public
confidence, and it now takes the lead of every
advertised medicine manufactured in this coun-
try. aug l2-colW
Gss""TnE LIFE OF THE FLESH Is THE BLOOD"
This being The fact, it is very obvious that when
the blood becomes corrupted, the whole system
becomes corrupt also To relieve this, the true
policy undoubtedly is to direct the remedy to
the source of the disease. 1t is in this manner
that DR.. TUFTS Sarsaparilla and Queens Delight
acts. Its specific effect is on the bood; it puri-
fcs it, vitazc it, and expcls all distcmper from
the system.
Being free from violent minerals, it is adapted
to general use. The old and young may use it
the most delicate female at any time, may take
it; the week and enfeebled will be strengthened
by it; the tender infant, who may have inherited
disease, will be cured by it.
For Syphilis, and all its trains of evils it is a
sure Antidote.
DR. TUFTS Liver Pills are a mild and gentle
purgative, possessing the peculiar merit of act
ing rs a powerful agent in relieving congestive
or torpid liver. They have no equal.

NEW YORK.
Oakley HaFIsa Trial,

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The court was
greatly crowded to day on the opening.
Mayor Hall said he had Ueen advised BY
his counsel that with the exception of
some documentary evidence requiring ar
gument, there has been 10 testimony which
the law does not reject as absolutely tain
ted; therefore there is nothing in this case
calling for answer by way Of evidence. He
then said he would waive the defendants
right of being heard by counsel before
the jury and was willing TO submit the case
on the evidence Of the prosecution under
charge of the court.
The prosecution announced that they
should address the jury. Buckley, of the
Mayors counsel, submitted requests to the
court TO be Incorporated In the Judges in
structions to the jury. In this connection
Buckley sought to offer for the considera-
ton Of the court the record of the indict-
ment against Tweed, but on objection the
court ruled it inadmissible. Counsel for
the Mayor requested the COURT to instruct
the jury that there Can be no conviction be-
cause there is no evidence of wiuful or
fraudulent breach or perversion Of any law
full duty by the Mayor.
Counsel for prosecution asked the Judge
to charge the jury that the Mayor was re-
sponsible by reason of accepting the Office
of member of the board of audit, and that
the Mayor willfully neglected bis duty in
said Office and must therefore be convicted.
Court adjourned. Tremaine will sum up
tomorrow aud Stoughton reply.
