A Medicine Chest in Miniature.

Mishlers Herb Btters is not a beverage; but
strictly medicinal preparation, more thorough
ly adapted TO the wants of the general public
than any other in the market. Unlike all other
so-called Remedies, il is prepared under the di-
rect personal supervision of an eminent Physi-
clan. S. B. Hartman, NJ D., the senior proprie-
tor, is regular graduate Of the jefferson Medi-
cal College of Philadelphia, and a praetcing
physician of large experience and extensive prae-
tice. In such hands the public may rest assured
that Mishler's Herb Btters is compounded in
strict accordance with correct Pharmaceutical
principles. and that none but the choicest ingre
dents enter into its composition.
Its immense sale alone is conclusive proof that
it possesses merit of high order. Merchants
bankers, clergymen, lawyers, clerks and others
engaged in sedentary occupations, experience its
wonderful effects in relieving the depression
caused by severe mental labor while the me-
chanic, farmer and laborer find their bodily Wig
or restored like magic by its use.
AT this season of the year, when Darrhna,
Cramps, Coles and kindred disorders, caused by
eating unripe fruits, imprudent indulgencei in cold
drinks, ETC., are prevalent, certain, speedy and
effectual remedy will be found in Mishers Herb
Bitters.
The depressing feeling of Langnor or Debility,
incident TO the cheated term, is at once remov-
ed, the energies restored and new life and vigor
impaired to the prosrated system, by its use.
In Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and Affections
of the Kidneys it invariably works like charm.
1t is not drastic purge nor heady stimulant,
violent in its operations; but ii Is simply ma
tural remedy, thoroughly adapted to assist nature
1t supplies tone TO the stomach, reinvigorates the
digestive organs, stimulates the secretions, and
promoting regular action of the bowels, enables
every organ of the body to perform its allotted
work regularly and without interruption
It is the nnerring certainty of desired results
attendant on its use, coupled with the fact that
it is prepared by physician of eminence in his
profession, that has rendered Mishler's Herb Bit
ters so popular, and as familiar as household
word Thousands Of Mothers all over the land
have found it to be the safest and best remedy for
| use in their families; they not only give it with
| perfect safety to even the youngest child, but
when used with caution find it the safest means
| of ensuring their owa health and freedom from
the weary aches and pains incident to their sex.
Perfectly harmless, it is just the remedy needed
| by them to enable Nature to perform her func-
tions naturally, regularly, and scittom inconre,-
ience No lady should be without it fshe would
possess the clear, blooming complexion and
cheerful spirits inseparabe from sound health.
1t is sold by all Druggists and General dealers !;
is neatly put up in square Glass Bottles enclosed
| in yellow wrapper. It is not sold on Draught,
being strictly medicinal preparation, and as
such is endorsed by many Of the most eminent
physicians Of the country.

carried before the Police Court for eXamina.
ton yesterday morning, when he stated
to the Justice that he was a Methodist
preacher from Pennsylvania, and was here
in distress, and had sought in vain for work

and it is likely he is nota regular preacher,
though he stablisbed the fact that he was a
pretty lively exhorter by his earnest address
to the court. He was ordered to leave the
city without delay, and with bis little bun
die under his arm, and his face radiant with
joy be departed from the courtroom IN dou-
ble.uuck time.

Virginians will he panied to learn Of the
death of this gallant Confederate artillerist,
Tho, with his far-famed battalion, was amongst
the first to hurry to the front in defence of the
Southern cause. 1t were needless to recount
the heroic deeds Of bis command, for it will
only be necessary To say that it served with
that ever-fshting and indomitable corps of
Longstreet's from Bull Run to the close of
the war, receiving from corps and army
commanders the highest praise and notice.
Colonel Walton possessed fine presence;
was brave and sklliul officer; and gene
rous and convivial friend. We offer our
cendolence to his family and the city of New

CONDITION OF Mr.. GEORGE w. BRucE.
Yesterday afternoon at haIfpast O'Clock
DR.. Mcguire, assisted By Dfs. Tompkins.
Trent, and Knox, examined the wound OF
Mr.. George w. Bruce, who accidentally shot
himself Wednesday afternoon, and decided
that there was but little chance for his re-
covery. The only hope being in the extrae-
lion of the ball and the full discharge of the
poisonous secretion that will form along Its
course, they prepared for the operation by
placing the patient under the influence Of
chloroforn. At single cut OF the sur
geon's scalpel the ball was struck, embedded
in the flesh about half an inch below The
surface, and was easily removed. A gutta-
percba tube was then introduced into the
cavity of the abdomen to furnish passage
for the secretion referred to above, and the
place just opened was closed. Mr.. Bruce
suffers but little, and is in the full possession
of his senses and realizes the fact that there
are, perhaps, ninety-nine chances out Of
hundred that he will not get well.
