Dyspepsia? ? Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia

Dyspepsia is the most perpiexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most infinite IN their variety, aud the for
iorn and despondent victims of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn, of
every known nlalady. This is due, in part.
to the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part al
so to the fact that any disturbance of the
digestive functions necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system,
and effects, to some extent, the quality of
the blood

ton, to be tried and found wanting it has
been prescribed daily for many years in

the human family is subject, but is war

Tn South Carolina sixteen public officers.

In South Carolina sixteen public officers,
all of them admirers of Grants Admins
trasion. and practitioners of Addition, Di
vision and Silence, have recently been
either presented or indicted for dishonesty.
The list includes one governor, two county
treasurers, one sheriff, eleven county COM
missioners and one school commissioner.
Of these, six county commissioners, and
one county treasurer have been found gull
ty, and sentenced to the penitentiary.
Commissioner Cloy, of Barnwell county, who
escaped from the officer having him in
charge was recaptured. and arrived at the
prison in time to see his colleagues, Rob
inson and Cave, prepared with half shaven
heads and parti-colored dress to do the
State some honest service. Three negro
commissioners of Marion county have been
convicted by jury composed of five white
and seven colored men, and sentenced tc
terms OF imprisonment varying from foul
to six months.

DEvERE's THRAsHINe WAS INFORMAL
But Well Deserved.

From the Chicago Times, 11th.
The Times having given publicity to the
story OF one Harry Devere, who claimed to
be an attache Of the Rock Island Union, Of
an alleged outrage perpetrated upon him
self at the Tivoli garden, deems it but fair
to give the version of the proprietors OF
that place of the same affair They state
that Devere had been dead beating" it
there for several days until he had become
an unbearable nuisance; that on the occa-
sion referred to he had repeated his free
lunch" experiment, when he received a re.
minder from an attendant that it was a
class OF custom not deemed desirable that
Devere turned upon him with the words
What business is it of yours, you son of a
b-h? ?'the offensive epithet being prompt.
ly responded to by slap in the face. The
proprietOrs regret that the merited casti-
cation had not been administered on the
street instead of in their rooms, but cannot
find it in their hearts to censure their en-
ploye very severely for knocking the fellow
down. The certificate of character fur
nished Devere by THE Rock ISLAND AR
GUS fully corroborates that given him by
the proprietors Of the Tivoli, and credits
him with other accomplishments than
dead beating" Every effort is made tc
preserve perfect order at the garden, and
there seems to be little doubt that the
thrashing administered to Devere, though
slightly informal, was well deserved,

PATENT MEDICINES. That there are
some good patent medicines no intelligen,
man dare for moment deny; and preem-
inent is the great California hero medicine,
VINEGAR BrTTERs, discovered by DIR. j.
WALKER, prominent physician of San
Francisco, This medicine, although called
Bitters, is not to be classed among the vile
fancy drinks recommended and sold
over the bar by rum-v vendors. but is a com
bination Of pure herbahstic extracts, known
to possess sterling medicinal qualities, and
is compounded without the use, in any
shape, of spirits. Its action upon the in
ternal system is not stimulating to the ex-
| tent that alcoholic poison is, but it at once
attacks blood-impurities, and by removing
the original cause destroys the germs of di
sease and invites returning health. Its
action upon the stomach and liver render
it an almost certain specific in the most
stubborn cases Of dyspepsia, aud in truth
imparts new life and vigor to the whole
system. 1t is one OF the best medicines
ever invented
The daily Argus., 1874-06-12

HELMBoLD's BUCHU is still in the zenith
of its popularity. Notwithstanding the alb
sence of DIR. Helmbold, the celebrated
medicine is still manufactured at the lab
oratory at Philadelphia, aud is sold by all
respectable druggists. Its warranted for
all diseases of the kidneys and urinary or
gans. Beware of counterfeits. Genuine
