With sufficient haste aud trepidStiOu to bO

TAl Conservative reaction 90 long
propkssisd 10 England BY Mr.. DIsRAEL'
appears q have set in at last. The re-
suit Of the elections held during the past
week 10, as our readers have doubtless
observed, in favor Of the conservative
or Tory party. and the indications are
that that party will have a working
majority in the new Parliament. Should
the Tories come into power, the foreign
policy Of Great Britain would be more
firm, the army and navy would be in
creased, and the colonies energetically
defended. There would be tendency
toward protection, and . disposition to
resist trades unionism, and to govern
Ireland with q stsrnly repressiVe hand.
But this copld only be were the Tory
Cabinet Sustained by q steady Parlia'
mentary majority. The wisest couser'
vatiyes, such as the Marquis Of sslis-
bury, insist that Mr.. DIsRAELI should
not again accept Office until he has a
reliable working majority. Twice his
party bss enjoyed power on the suffer-
ance of the Liberals. and therefore has
been forced to do Liberal work. There
must be, say these leaders. no more
minority ministers. But. as majority
of q hundred is hard to overcome, it
would be premature to speculate now
on the policy Of . Tory government.

The Great Antagonist of Disease.

What is the natural antagonist of disease
1t is the vital principle. From the moment
that disease is developed in the system, this
champion fights the intruder until it either
conquers is conquered. Which side should
medicinal science espouse in this life and death
struggle +? Should it depress and cripple the
physical energies of the patient thereby help
ing the disorder, or should il reinforce the vi
tality of the patient and thereby assist in quell
ing the ailment? OF course the proper answer
to this question must be obvious to every one
above the grade of an idiot lunatic, and
hence it follows that the weak and broken
down invalid who chooses to dose himself with
depicting slops instead of toning, invigorating
and vftalizing his enervated frame with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, must be either feeble
minded or deranged. Surely nothing short of
imbecility insanity could induce person
laboring under bodily weakness and nervous
prostration, to take day after day powerful
doses of some drastic purgative in the hope of
gaining strength thereby. Although charlatans
may advertise preparations of this character as
tonics, people in the full possession of their
reason can not, one would think, accept them
such. If they do the penalty of their credulity
may be the shortening of their lives. The
rheumatic, the dyspeptic, the bilious, the de-
bilitated and nervous, and all who are subject
to intermittents, other diseases brought on
by the Indictment weather which prevails at
this season, will do well to strengthen their
nerves, tone their stomachS and regulate their
bowels with the Bitters. The two-fold opera
tion of the restorative as an invigorant and an
aperient, in addition to its direct and specific
effect upon theSdisordered- liver, renders it
most efficient remedy for complaints of the di-
gestive, secretive and excretive organs, at pres
ent in This fact is conceded by eminent
members of the faculty whose testimony to
that effect is published in Hostetters Almanac
for 1874.
