Secretary Boutwell, has addressed the fol.
lowing letter to the third Auditor of the
treasury Sir. you are requested to sus-
pend action upon claims for stores and sup
plies furnished ostensibly for the use of the
army in all cases where the required returns
have not been made by the receptiug officers
This course is made necessary by the fact that
the officers Of the army have in some instan-
ces given their official certificates and receipts
years before the time when they were ac-
tually made, in order to bring them within
their scope OF official authority, thus leaving
an open door for collision and fraud in the
absence of so important guard as the official
returns. l am yours, sir. &c.

CLAP TRAP AND CANT Invalid reader, if you

any of the mock tonics guaranteed to contain
mo diffusive stimulant," you will inevitably
come to grief. Ask your physician if any IL
quid preparation, destitute of stimulating
properties, is worthy of the name of tonic
He will tell you no. Shun all such nauseous
catchpennies. Plantation Bitters. the most
wholesome invigorant in the world, owes the
rapidity with which it relieves the dsordered
stomach and the shattered nerves to the diff.
tusive agent which conveys its medical ngre-
dents to the seat of the complaint. That
agent is the spirit of the sugar cane, the most
nutricious and agreeable OF all the varieties
of alcohol. The medical ingredients of the
bitters, valuable as they are, would be com
paratively useless without this distribuive
basis. They would ferment and sour. Be
ware, as you hope for health of the horrible
compounds of refuse drugs in state of fer
mentation which humbugs are endeavoring to
toist upon the public as medicines.
