RURAL BEAUTIES AND CITY BELLEs.-
Country girls are not whit behind their
metropolitan sisters in the natural ele-
ments Of loneliness, but it must be CON
coded that the city bellies best under
stand the art of preserving and height
ening their personal beauty, The most
perfect features lose half their attrac-
ton unless the complexion is properly
cared for, and if the pretty girls Of the
rural districts wish to compete with the
''Fairstars' of the fashionable world in
refined attractions they must pay due at
tention to this important point. They
ought to know, for the fact is notorious,
that Hagan's Magnolia Balm imparts to
the skin a delicate, pearly appearance,
unproduceable by any other preparation
under the sun. No matter how the cuti-
Gle may have been roughened by expos
ure or discolored by the sun, the Balm
will render it soft and pliable, and re-
moves every blemish. eod-d4w

SPECIAL NOTICES.


Criminal Imposition.-A bad bill substi-
tuted for a good one is simply loss to the
pocket of the taker; but poisonom slop sub
stituted for a DEMONSTRATING medicine imperils
the health Of those who imbibe il, and the man
who concoets, or sells, or recommends such an
article is criminal impostor, and deserves to
be visited with o heavier penalty than If he
had counterfeited gold pieces or forged bank
bills. Many vile, unwholssome potions now
being offered for sale in various parts Of the
country as ''tonics" and restoratives." are
recommended by their dishonest proprietors
and vendors as superior to the famous national
specific, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Des-
perate attempts are made to thrust these per-
nicious compounds into the hands and down
the threats Of lifelong patrons Of the great
vegetable stimulant and stomaehic; and al
though these conspiracies against health and
life very rarely succeed, II nevertheless seems
TO be duty occasionally to warn the credu-
lous against them. Hostetter's Bitters, the
unequalled remedy for casual indigestion, con-
frmed dyspepsia. biliousness, liver complaint,
malarious fevers. constipation, constitutional
weakness, and the functional arrangement Of
the weaker sex. has for twenty years stood at
the head Of all medicines of its elass-so far
above them as to render competition futile.
It has not yet reached the meridian Of its pop
uiarity, its sale being larger now than at any
period since its Introduction. Its utility as a
preventive Of disorders engendered by an insa-
luxurious atmosphere or unwholesome water is
admitted by physicians practicing in I'M
healthy districts, and it is recommended as a
stimulant BY many practitioners who will not
take the responsibility Of prescribing the adult
terated liquors Of commerce. -
