Revolutions Never Go Bach wnrd,

The philosophical theory that tho human sys-
tenn when weakened by disease, oppressive heat,
excessive labor or any other cause, should be
toned and invigoratcd instead Of being subjected
to the action Of depicting drugs, 10 gaining ground
every day. The Introduction OF Hostetter,s
Stomach Bitters twenty years ago gave a power
full influence to this common sense idea. As the
extraordinary efficacy Of the great Vegetable Re-
storative became known, multitudes OF debiIitated
invalids turned with ioathing from the nauseous
and strength-destroying potions with which 1t was
then the fashion to dreneh the sick, to this reno
waiting, appctizing, vitalizing preparation de-
rived from The finest roots, herbs and banks
placed by botanical research mt the disposal Of
medical science. Revolutions never go backward.
From that time to the present the Importance Of
assisting and reinforcing nature in her struggles
with disease has been more and moro widely and
keenly appreciated by the sick and the suffering.
In tens Of thousands Of households Hostetter's
Bitters are looked upon rs the one thing needfuI
In cases OF Dyspepsia, General Debility, Con.
stipation, Nervous Weakness, chiiis and Fever,
Bilious Affections and all conditions Of the body
and mind that betoken n lack Of vital energy.
When the quicksilver ranges high, and the solid
hcsh Is resolving into q den under the fcrvid
temperature, this agreeable tonic is the best DOS
sible safeguard against all the disorders generated
by a sUltry and uDwholesumc atmosphere. 1t
enables the system to endure with impunity an
unusual amount Of %exeriion. OF all invigoratinR
and regulating medicines, IL ia the pufest and
most wholesome.

TIE OUING CROPS.

The July report Of the Department Of Agri.
culture, Gays a Washington dispatch, represents
an improvement in winter wheat, but 4 de-
cline iii the prospects of spring wheat on &C.
count Of the unreasonable weather in some
quarters, and the insect enemies in others,
The average in corn is increased in West Viz
ginia and Minnesota, and decreased in all
other States, except Florida and Arkansas,
where it remains the same as last year. Corn
planting was everywhere retarded by the
weather, and in many cases the corn has been
several times replanted. The universal COM
plant OF defective sced il made in all parts of
the country.
II condition of cotton has been previously
given. The reports up to July l indicate the
crop to be s9.5 per cent. Of average, not ill.,
GLIDING Virginia, where the culture is vet
mainly experimental.
The prospective yield Of oats declined dur
ing June in New England and the Middle and
Northwestern States except in Wisconsin. II
was enhanced in all Of the Gulf States except
Mississippi.
Winter rye improved in Rhode Island, Con-
%necticut. New Jersey, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio.
Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. 1t remained
stationary in Georgia, and declined in all the
other States. Spring rye was below the aver
age in all the States but five, the minimum, z.
being found in California, and the maximum,
ITO, in Nebraska.
Winter barley generally declined in the
South and West, where the heavy rains pre-
vailed.
The grass crops have generally improved in
New England and the Middle States. How
ever. they were greatly shortened by the
drought.
The late winter told disastrously upon the
fruit crop. The injury to the apple trees was
more extensive than was apparent at the last
report. Vast numbers of peach trees were
killed. The condition Of the grape cropranged
from 81 in California to 1877 in Nebraska, 100
representing the average.
The average in potatoes remained the same
10 last year, or Increased in twenty-five States
and decreased in all the others. The Colorado
beetle has extended its ravagcs eastward,
being reported for tho first time in several
Of New York. II was still devastating
IN the West, but the farmers had learned in
many counties how to destroy it efrectually.
The maximum condition of the crop, III, was
in Georgia, and the minimum, 76, in
Delaware.
