Il 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
lengthens life and dispels diseases from the hui
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
fellow being. Indeed, mankind is too incred-
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
discovery, the breadth of his declaration at
once causes doubt to arise, he is Immediately
declared an 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 but
great are the curative powers of this invalua-
BILE vegetable medicine and wonderful as has
been its effects in relieving nervousness, general
debility, costiveness, indigestion, heart burn,
dyspepsia, sick stomach, bowel complaint ague
and fever, and depression of spirits. we do not
pretend to claim for it the mastery over 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 well as billiousness, and
that it will cure all others for which it is recon-
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 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-
its as they deserve.

Mr.. John Day contributes an essay to the
Australian Medical Journal of means of
Arresting the Spread of the Smallpox" By
his method the germs which propagate the dis
ease are perfectly destroyed. His doctrine is
that small pox is always associated with pus-
cells, and the only way of destroying them is
by oxidation. He advises the use of peroxide
hydrogen as the agent for rapidly and thor
oughly oxidizing and destroying the virus
germs given off from the bodies of smallpox
patients.

what Dyspepsia may End In

Indigestion is not dangerous, say the faculty.
Perhaps not in itself, while it remains mere in
digestion but look at the consequences to which
it may lead, and often does lead when it becomes
a chronic disease. A spark of fire is small
thing. A pressure of the foot will put it out;
breath will extinguish it. Yet it may fire a pow
der mill, or kindle fame that will consume q
city. In like manner indigestion may produce
gastritis, cancer of the stomach, congestion OF
the bowels, apoplexy, liver disease, and many
ether dangerous maladies. Is it not wise, then,
to check it in the germ? Nothing is more clear
ly and indisputably established than that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters will eradicate dyspepsia
in all its stages. The true policy, however, is to
extingush it in the first stages with this whole
some, powerful, and infallible tonic and atera-
tive. 1t is easier to quench spark than flame,
developed, than when it has made Roadway by
neglect and become complicated with other all
ments There is not the shadow of doubt that
the bltters are as directly antagonistic to dyss-
of cases on record proving this fact. The reme-
dy is safe and agreeable. Ali the liquors of COM
merce prescribed as stimulants leave sting be-
hind. But the sting is taken out of the spirit
uous basis of this great remedy by vegetable
medication and, moreover, the stimulant thus
medicated is of exceptional purity. Of all tom
les taken as safeguards or remedies for fever and
ague bilious remittents, and other epidemics,
it is the only one that can uniformly be depend

Davis and Parker.

In reference to the ticket nominated by the
National Labor Reform Convention, the Peters
burg Inder says
strong one. Judge Davis is a Western man,
an old time Wing, Republican, an appointee
and valued friend of Abraham Lincoln, and, in
fine, man in many respects acceptable to the
great mass of the moderate Republicans. 1t lis
understood that he is and has long been in full
accord with the Reform Movement of Missouri
and that he commands the good will of such
leaders as Trumbull and Schurz. Governor
Parker coming from the East, war Democrat,
and man universally recognized as an honest,
capable andIcourageous State official, possesses
probably as large share OF good will as any
Democratic politician whatever, while his COM
narrative lack of service in Federal Office rather
adds to than detracts from his available reputa-
ton. The movement OF reform, within the Re-
publican organization, commencing in the
Gratz Brown campaign and continued In the
opposition to Santo Domingo annexation, in
the New York Custom House enquiry and
eliminating to-day in the determined assault
upon corruption in the sale of arms to France,
has steadily grown from day to day
Judge David II. Davis.
AS annuonced last week, Judge Davis was
nominated on the 22nd ult., at Columbus,
Ohio, by the National Labor Reform Conven-
ton. The N. Y. Tribune Horace Greely) thus
speaks of him:
The labor Convention held at Columbus on
the 22nd was more fully attended and more
representative in character than any former
gathering around kindred platform. Of the
candidates for President and Vice President
presented thereby. it is but simple justice to
say that they are men of decided ability and of
national reputation. David Fl. Davis, of Hi
uois, the nominee for President, was of old
Whig, and has been since 1854 Republican.
He was Abraham Lincoln's next friend, and
was most influential in securing his nomination
for President at Chicago in 1860. Mr.. Lincoln
in turn nominated him for Justice of the
United States Supreme Court, and he has
served In that capacity with eminent ability
and usefulness. Joel Parker, the nominee for
Vice President, is the present Governor of
New Jersey, elected last Fall by six thousand
majority and lifelong Democrat. Neither
of these candidates has hitherto been identified
with the distinctive Labor organization.
Rev. Henry Benedict McCloskey, Catholic
Vicar General and Administrator of the Arch
Diocese Of Baltimore, died last Tuesday even
ing 10 Baltimore, of pneumonia, after an ILL
ness of several weeks. He was In the sixty
fourth year of his age. Deceased was native
of Frederick county, Md, and has been Vicar
General Of the diocese since 1S49.
