impossibility OF obtaining them pure The diff
Guilty here presented would be q serious one indeed
II the class OF agents limited to the aiuIterated
liquors and wines of trade. 1t vanishes hoveyer
when the absolute purity and extraordinary res
torative properties Of Hcsetters Bitters are taken
into consideration. As a stimulant the article ia
absolutely free from everything objection able: but
this is only one of its recommendations If il were
nothing more than an excitant its effects would be
fleeing Ii might refresh and revive the sy stem for a
few minutes, but could produce no ornament benefit
The stimulating elements of the Bitters il a means,
not an end The tonic anti bilious, depuratiye and
aperlent vegetable juices combined in the prepara
ton are the agents that impart vigor and
to the weakened and disordered organization, the
sprituous principle being chiefly useful in dusing
their influence through the system and otherwise
facilitating their operation Alcohol, even in its
purest form, Is not so much medicine as motive
power, by which the specifics Of the vegetable king
dom may be brought to bear upon the debilitated
ane disordered organs that require renovating and
regulating; and it is in this way that the pure es

the city was willing TO surrender the abominabls

The city councils to defeat the ordinance pro-

OF the measure referred to the fact that Max
York has tried the experiment, and it is a suc-
cess. The grass and parterres are not traupled

Thousands more pedestrians pass through the
squares than formerly. The opponents of the
