How to Battle Dtseas 2

The man who puts a bullet through his head
dies more speedily than he who is continually
sending voleys of strong, cathartic pills down
his throat but the drastic piIlets are as fatal in
the end as the leaden ball 1t is only question
of time, Common sense should teach everybody
that the idea of exIelling disease by subverting
the bodily VigOr which is ITS natural ANTAGONIST
is supremacy absurd. There should be no pEr-
CATION without IMMIGRATION and regulation.
These three PROCESSES Ehuld go on together and
they do so in all cases where HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters are used as a remedy for disease, or for
the general debility growing out of a torpid state
of the digestive and secretive organs. In this
great vegetable restorative are min sled three es-
sential elements of cure: purifying element, a
tonic element, and an anti-bili0us clement By
these means dyspepsia, bilious disorders, inter
mittent levers, sick headache, constipation and
nervous debility are readily cured and epidemic
disease prevented. jyS cod Iw&Wlt 3dp

LAwRENCEBURG Tenn, June 80, 1873.
Perm IL me TO make few remarks, and
ask fe simple questions in regard top ID
lie Roads, and he manner in which they are
not KEEP. 10 repair Throughout the country
generally, AID in Lawrence county psrti-
culsrly. .--....
The Ct is however, We have no roads
through Lawrence. 1t is trne, i'll some
l0caliti,S the place is still there where the
road on was, nut sin the very elegant
langHss.- my-old friead, the Msj1 near
Athens, Aa.,". The road is long since worn
out and gone. IL is sn undeniable fact, that
DO cou y in Tennessee is blessed with
better 'aaliy over which to open roads,
and the facilities for keeping them in repair
with les, expense than the good old County
of Law snce, and yet, no where that |
have Travelled since the war, have l
found il so difficult TO Nuke my way rs in
this couaty. 1t may be argued that cur
former road system In Tennessee was a bad
one, AMI so it was very, but we are inform
ed by Our worthy Rep esentative, Hon. w.
H. Turner, that q new road law was enact
eddy the Legislature at rs laie session.
We'll, If hat is so, il is certainly an i'm
provemenC on the Id law, and why is it
not beiEg txecuted by the pr ,per sEthori-
ties whoever they my be? We have always
supposed it was the duty of the County
Court, under the old laH, 80 see that roads
were laid out and placed in charge of an
oveTseer, with be requisite number of
HANDS 10 keep them in good repair. or
this, be Eever, we row confess we mus.
have been iu error, for not ouly has cur
County Court reelected to execute this
supposed provision of law, but some of its
members have absolutely refused to
take acton in the premises, when
they were applied to in person.
On some Of The roads there are overseers
we belis We, but this amounts to nothing,
sirce they rarely ever work their roads
vet in Ills case We have remedy, for we
may report them TO the grand jury Of the
county and haVe them indicted, and this
has been done once or twice in life time,
but they have generally been acquitted by
making appear the order Of their appoint
ment had not been handed Them by the
sheriff. Therefore what is the use OF ill.,
creating an expense Ia The { unity, 10y in
