What is 0uinine?

A wonderful revolution was made in medi-
cines commonly used in remittent and inter-
mittent fevers, and tonical exhibitions, by the
discovery, in t1820 of qunine, by Pelietier
This highly valuable material is the product of
the calisaya tree, variety of the cinchOna. 1t
is found only in Bolivia and Carabaya, the for
ests in which it grows being some ten or twelve
days journey from any inhabited regions.
Cascarillos men make the collecting of this
production business, going in companies to
the woods, encamping and roaming through
them to cut down the trees and gather the
bark. 1t was formerly given in pills,
probably the most unpleasant and ir-
regularly acting medicinal exhibition, or
in solution which, although possess
ing all the curative properties, was so
intensely, disgustingly bitter as to be ex-
tremely nauseous 10 the human palate That
so valuable drug, either as a curative in sick
ness or q tonic in health, should suffer from
such difficulties in the way of its pleasurable
assimilation with the human body, was long
regretted by physicians, and many trials were
made TO so combine it SO as to preserve all
medicinal efficacy, while neutralizing, in a
great degree, its extremely bitter taste. This
was finally accomplished in Atwood's Tonic
Bitters the best aromatic tonic in use. This
popular remedy, in all cases of debility, acidity
OF the stomach, or general i'll health, either
from dyspepsia, or during convalescence after
severe sickness is carefully prepared combi-
nation of quinine, and other milder tonics,
toned down to a delicious bitter and
pleasant favor by the judicious addition
of aromatic vegetrble extracts. In many
advertised bites, popularity supposed to con-
tain quinine, there is only a preparation of
cinchonia, which alkaloid is less efficacious and
infinitely less expensive than the true crysta-
ized extract of the einchona cdlisaya, Atwoods
Tonic is indebted for its wonderful success
to the purity of the Bolivian bark, carried sue
cessively through the process of publication un-
til all the kinic acid, and other extraneous and
hurtful matters are evaporated. As the quin-
inc of commerce is generally adulterated with
gypsum, sugar, gum, starch, stearine, or aka
line and other earthly Salts it is necessary to be
warranted pure, and such is the case with the
Atwood Quinine Tonic Bitters, as prepared by
Alvah Littlefield & Co., of Boston, Mass.

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE

There was consultation among the Gree
ley men for few minutes, and then one of
them ventured to suggest that the country
men could ''plant" $500 ON that proposition.
"COme and see me, boys" and out came
the old red pocket book, and five 500 bills
were counted out in twinkling.
The sum was covered by an equal amount
and responsible stake holder found and the
bet closed
The Grant men seemed to gain back bone
at this, and half dozen small bets were i'm
mediately made that Missouri would go for
Grant. There was fascination in the coun-
tryman's figuring and an assurance in his
pluck which was as reviving as camp-meet-
ing, and every Republican who heard the bets
made went off change reassured in Grant
and the Interchangeable radicalism of Missouri.

"BIack Friday, for Greeley.

About one thousand merchants daily
assemble on change in this city, and, as
matter of course, every foreground topic
comes generally under discussion there.
Just now, at the dull time of the year,
many of the merchants enliven the
hour over political topics, and betting upoa
favorite candidates frequently takes place.
Hats, suits of clothes, money, diamond pins,
steamboats,, and even real estate are often
staked.
Yesterday we happened to be standing near
an earnest body of disputants who were
bantering one another over the probability of
Grant carrying Missouri. The company
seemed pretty evenly divided in opinion.
'Pll bet hundred dollars" said one
earnest Greeley Democrat, ''that Missouri
goes for Greeley by as large majority as
Illinois does for Grant"
'sMake it $780," put in Grant man, "and
I'll cover the bet."
p'-money planked up instanter by
both parties.
"Pd like to make a small bet," said Grant
man, shat Grant carries the State OF
Missouri"
"How much do you want 70 bet'' was i'm
mediately inquired.
Shame the sum yourself"
''Fifty dollars"
'Oh, fifty dollars is no object You see
my friend Pm from the country. I've come
TO st. Louis expressly to bet on Missouri for
Grant, and fifty dollars won't pay my ex-
penses. And before the bets are made, I'll
be fair enough to show you my figuring,
and then if any one wants to cover my pile,
Pll plank up anywhere from $500 to $1,000.

The countryman produced a rather dingy
memorandum book, and read his figures as
follows:
Vote in Missouri for Grant 1858. -. s5 671
Vote in Missouri for Seymour in 1s6s..... ..5s7s8
Majority for Grant. nt...................... ,sss
Now, gentlemen, you see, you had SO, 7sS
votes in 1868. Since then you have gained
by acknowledgements of rebels $1,000 votes.
We will allow that 10000 of the Grant Ger
man vote of the State goes for Greeley, and
that's big allowance, and gives you S4, ,7SS
votes for Greeley Since 1868 this State has

| ty-fye thousand of this new vote viii go for
| Greeley, which brings the Greeley vote up to
100000; and let me tell you, gentlemen,
that's every dog-goned one you'll get. Now
| for the Republican showing. First, get the
| Grant vote OF 1868, less 10000, which makes
it 1851. According to the census of 1916
we have 10000 colored people in Missouri
| At least %, 900 of these are voters, and they
will vote for Grant. To this add our pro
portion of the new immigration, say $4,000
which gives Grant over 10000 votes in the
State. Now, gentlemen, if you want to be
agin them iggers put up your money"
There was pause at this for few min
utes, and then Greeley man family inquired
whether the countryman would bet on Gram
carrying the State by 10000 majority.
'sNo, stree, Bob! amt so durn green a.

BUSINESS NOTICES.

"CAN'T DO WITHOUT T."-This is what the
stage and horse car companies, livery-stable
keepers, members of the turf, and all grooms
and trainers say OF the MUSTANG LINIMENT.
They 'can't do without it." And why? Be
cause it infallibly reduces the external swell
ings &C., which, under various names, impair
the usefulness and value of the king of quadru-
peds, and also because, for sprains, strains,
gals and other injuries to which horse-fesh is
liable, it is the most trustworthy preparation
in the market. Yet these recommendations
comprise only portion of its iclaims to public
confidence. During period of more than six
teen years, it has been recognized as a specific
for many of the most agonizing disorders
which affiict the human family-such as rheu-
matism gout, neuralgia, lumbago, ticdoloreux,
sore throat, earache, toothache; and likewise
as a peerless application for cuts, bruises,
burns and scalds. jy1-eod1w&w1t
