Endorsements Of the Peoples
Remedy.

When skillful and cautious medical men
give over their own signatures a favorable
opinion of the soothing aud Whaling effects
OF preparation, the public does not hesitate
10 believe them. The voluminnious and en-
phatic professional testimony in favor OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, as a specific for
all disorders of the stomach aud bowels. for
liver complaint, Intermittent and remittent
fevers. and the thousand ills that wait upon
dyspepsia, must convince the most skeptical.
Aside, however, from the testimony OF the
faculty, there is a large mass OF evidence
from patients in every walk of life, all show
ing that this great preventive and restora-
tive Is of inesI amable value to the sick and
the debilitated. The bitters are suited TO
all climates, and are universally endorsed as
preventive OF disorders caused by miasma
and i'm pure water

The Gazette's Position.

We have contended in this paper for q
liberal and just Repubiicanism, such Re
publicanism as Horace Greeley sanctioned
and worked for after the war closed. We
have contended for this in good faith, and
with a sincere purpose to aid in bringing
the blessings of government to bear upon
all classes impartially, and the personnel
of the governments in sympathy and har-
mony with the governed. Under the
great changes which the war brought to
this country, it has been our conviction
that the doctrines of fair and generous
Republicanism were the doctrines suited
to our condition and the changed relations
of our country.

Brtxham,s First Love.

The Salt Lake Tribune of d late date,
says;
Aunt Nancy, that good old soul, has
returned again, like the autumn, with
her green vail and her blue umbrella,
tinted with the hues of time. From the
classic shades of Cache she has come to
claim her long-disputed position as
queen Of Brigham's harem. The poor
old lady has wandered for thirty years up
and down on the earth like a witch upon
the wind. For years and years she
pleaded, begged and entreated the
Prophet TO take her in out of the cold,
but be was deaf to her appeals. Her
loving words, whispered through tooth
less gums and purple lips, could not
wake an echo in his heart. Nay, when
her affection got ~slovenly, Brigham put
her out Of his house and shut the door
in her face, but she snatched the cap
from his head and to this day wears it as
a hustle. But she always thought that
time would s~traighten out this little love
affair, and has consequently let Brig
ham SOW his wild oats and have his fun,
while she has resignedly waited his royal
pleasure. Now after years have sped
away and when the fires OF his youth
burn dim, he opens wide his arms to his
first love.
