The Source of Many Ills.

If all the ailments, bodily and mental,
which torment the human family could
he traced to their primary sources, it
would probably be found that three
iuurths OF them originated in the failure
OF the stomach and the other organs by
which the food is converted into nutri-
ment and applied to the purposes of life,
to perform the tasks allotted to them by
nature, vigorously and regularly. This
being the case the vast importance of II
medicine which compels these organs to
do their whole duty, thoroughly and eff
ciently, becomes ut once apparent. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters may be truly
characterized preparation of this
kind, indeed rs the only one which can be
implicitly relied on rs com bining the
properties OF a stomachic, an Alternative,
and an aperient in such proportions ms to
produce simultaneously the desired eff
feet upon the disordered stomach, liver
and intestines. This conclusion is war
rnnted by the ccleltv and certainty with
cases of dyspepsia, torpidity of the liver
and constipation. The false idea that
these complaints and others could be cur
ed by fierce cathartics, has at last, it is
hoped, been thoroughly exploded. The
sick, during the last hundred years have
swallowed thousands OF tons of mercury,
scammony, gamhoge, croton oil, jalap,
&c, and tens of thousands of graves have
been pre- maturely filed thereby. But
ever since the principle of renovation, as
embodied in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
was arrayed against the principle of pros
tration, as represented by mineral sali-
wants and furious purgatives, the latter
has steadily and surely fallen into deserv-
ed contempt. The outcry against stimu-
lation by which concoctors of depicting
drenches hoped to give eciat to their dis
gusting ard dangerous compounds has
only served to increase the demand for
the wholesome stimulant, tonic and al
terative which for twenty-five years tri-
umphpd over all opposition and is now
the most popular medicine in the West
ern hemisphere.

hope my new found friend, Mr..
"Out in the Country" will not think
me u~ngrateful for his clever suggestion,
even though do not write upon the
particular subject mentioned.
The truth of the matter is, I haven't
got any mother in law of my own;
don't occupy that relation toward any
n else; feel only a common interest
in ''mother- in-laws" 10 general; Know
nothing of them. as a class in partic-
uiar, and consequently feel disposed in
the present instance to omit the reduc-
ton.
However. if any one knows any
thing-of interest TO say on the subject,
say it by all means. | might have
some dormant interest awakened BY

stitution-making remand Ohio from

Public Library.

There was a meeting at the Cour'
House. Monday evening. having for ~
object the establishment of a PaDitf
Library. The meeting was large, and
the feeling was decided in favor oil ih'
organization of such an institution
Articles of Association were adopted
and some seventy names we're obtained
10 them. The plan in short is this
Subscribers TO pay five dollars for mem
bership, and SO so per year as dues
As soon as three hundred subscriber
shall be secured. the organization will
proceed to the election of officers, ant
the establishment of a library ant
reading room. The library will b.
free to all in the room, but only mem
bers will be allowed to take books out
of the room. Committees were ap
pointed to canvass the city and town
ship for membership
We have faith that this importan
movement will prove a success, as th'
gentlemen at the head of it are earnes
and active All it wants is three hun
bred subscribers, and it seems to u
that these ought TO be easily obtained
II would be a grand thing for our city
