EFOOFLAND.s GERMAN TONIC,

Was compounded for those not inclined to ex-
tremc bittcrs, and Is intended for use in cases
when some alcoholic stimulant is required in co l.
nection with the tonic properties of the Bttcrs.
Each bottle of the Tonic contains one bottle of
the Bitters, combined with PURGE SANTA CRUZ
RUM, aud favored in such a manner that the ex-
treme bitterness of the bitters is overcome, form
ing preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
TO the palate, and containing the medicinal vir-
tues Of the Btters. The price of the Tonic is 81.
50 per Bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimulant used is guaranteed to be of pure
quality. A poor article could be furnished at a
cheaper price, but is it not better to pay little
moro and have n good article! A medicinal pre-
paraton should contain none but the best iugre-
dicnts; and they who expect to obtain a cheap
compound, and he benefited by it will most GER
tainly be cheated,

Ii is not necessary to take handful Of these
Pills to produce the desired effect two of them
act quickly aud powerfully, cleansing the Liver,
Stomach and Bowels of all impurities. The
principal ingredient is Polophylliu, or the Alco-

times more powerful, acting and searching than
the Mandrake itself. Its peculiar action is upon
the Liver, cleaning il speedily from all obstruc-
tions, with all the power of Mercury, yet free
from the injurious results attached TO the use of
that mineral.
For all diseases in which the use of cathar.
tic is indicated, these pills will give entire salts
faction in every case. They never fail.
In cases of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia and ex-
treme costiveness, DR.. Hoonand's German Bit

nic builds up the system. The Bitters or Tonic
purifcs the Blood, strengthens the Nerves, regu-
lates the Liver, and gives strength, energy and

OUR Borough Council still continue on the

tice among the latest acts the appointment of

Old authors describe typhus with cerebal,
abdominal, and tLeoractic symptoms. This
seems to be typhus with cerebal complications,
the petechia or characteristic of typhus, but its
claim to a separate name Is not yet made out
II any persons, physicians, or others, would take
the trouble to compare the symptoms in the two
diseases, typhus and cerebro spinal mcnegtus
he must come to the conclusion that the two are
IDENTICAL
Simple typhus is very rare In this country, but
1t seems that this Is typhus complicated with
disease of the nervous centres, and there is but
little doubt that the apparent mortality in this
disease, as 1t appears in this country, may be
more from the number of severe cases being
mortal, while the miidcr ones have been called
by other names. There seems to be reserved
conviction in the minds of all intelligent physi-
clans that this disease Is the result OF the typhus
poison.
ANY fever complicated with disease of the ncr-
vous centres, would take n rapid course. There
seems to be the weight of testimony in favor of
the opinion that this is variety OF the old ty-
phus or pctecha fever.
am making this article, Mr.. Editor, larger
than at first intended, and before concluding it,
there are those who would, no doubt, like to
know something about its treatment.
This, of all, is the most difficult part, particu-
! larly to the promiscous reader, and to tell the
doctors, they would only call it presumption, or
egotism. You know every doctor thinks he
knows it all, and what he doesn't know Is not
worth knowing, but as have yentured thus far,
| may as well take one step further, aud say
briefly that the treatment should be governed
by the symptoms as they manifest themselves.
But probably one of the best things in the early
stage of the disease is the mustard bath, as
strong as the skin can well bear, with counter r-
ritants along the spine, these are unquestionabe
valuable adjuncts to treatment, aud should not
be overlooked or neglected. Free ventilation and
large apartments are indispensable to the sue
cessful treatment of this disease.
