The Career of a Great Remedy.

Twenty summers have elapsed since it was
briefly announced that new vegetable tonic
and Alternative, bearing the name of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, had been added to the list of
preventive and restorative medicines. The
modest advertisement which invited attention
to the preparation stated that it had been used
with great success in private practice as a cure
for dyspepsia, bilious complaints constipation
and intermittent fever.> 1t was soon discovered
that the article possessed extraordinary proper
ties The people, of every class, tested its merits
as a tonic, stimulant, corrective and restora-
tive, and found that its effects more than full
filed their hopes and expectations. From that
time to the present its course has been upward
and onward, and it stands to-day at the head of
all medicines of its class, American or imported,
in the magnitude of Its sales and its reputation
as a safe, agreeable and potent invigorant and
restorative. For languor and debility, lack of
appetite and gastric disturbances so common
during the summer months it is absolutely in
fallible Indigestion, bilious disorders, consti-
patton, nervousness, periodical fevers, and all
the ordinary complaints generated by vitiated
and human atmosphere, vanish under its reno
waiting and regulating influence, This is its
record, aYouched by volumes of intelligent
testimony, extending over period of fifth of
q century, and comprehending the names of
thousands of well known citizens belonging to
every class and calling. In Europe it is thought
a great thing to obtain the patronage of royalty
for "patent medicine" but Hostetter's Bitters
has been spontaneously approved by millions
of independent sovereigns, and its patent con-
sists in their endorsement,

Fourth of July, 1878.

The commemoration of the ninety
seventh anniversary of American Inde-
pendence at jackson, Ohio, was undoubt-
edly successful celebration. The rain
and electricity on the previous evening
had cooled and purified the air making
it salubrious and refreshing.
About 10 o'clock the people began to
come in very rapidly, and ere the ap-
pointed hour for marching, there were a
goodly number in town. The procession
was led by the Jackson Brass Band, fol-
lowed by the Fire Company, officers, and
speakers of the day. The Firemen were
attired in their new uniform which made
the display quite imposing. f4.
2 After the line of march, as laid down
in the programme, was completed, the
order of exercises was promptly taken up
and carried out by the worthy President,
D. Mackley. A strong breeze being prev
alent, was detrimental to the speaking,
and in the beginning of the exercises we
were annoyed by an obstreperous gentle
man who owned swing which we con-
slider a nuisance But our President be-
ing resolute man soon had quiet, and
we heard no more bawling during the
day.
There was prompt response on the
part of the Jackson Glee Club, and the
music given was very fine. 1t is hardly
necessary to commend the Welsh Glee
Club, because in my mind it is doubtful
whether the Welsh language contain:
the word fail Who eyer knew Welsh
choir to fail in singing2 The speeches
and toasts were very good; nearly ell the
speakers responding to the CALL We re
gret very much that the appearance o
