PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept. Ex-senator
Morton's speech at Lafayette Hall to-
night was listened to by an immense
srowd, the hall being filed to its ut
most capacity and many unable to gain
admittance.
Mr. Morton reviewed at full length
the financial and currency questions,
claiming that the original issue of pa
per money was necessary war meas
ure, and that now, when the war is
over, the only safeguard the people
have against an unlimited issue OF pa
per money, is the limitation act passed
by Congress, the repeal of which, he
said, would be disastrous to the nation
al industries.

Mineral Remedies Superseded

All except those who refuse to be con-
WINGED by the most positive proof, admit the
infinite superiority of IIostetter's Stomach
Bitters to the mineral remedies which it has
TO very great extent superseded, and
which, it is to be hoped, for the sake OF the
human stomach, may eventually be aban-
doned altogether. The Bitters are most po-
tent corrective of disorders of the liver,
stomach and kidneys. HabituaI constipa-
ton, dyspepsia. bowel complaints, and the
numerous and changeful symptoms which
indicate internal weakness or disease, are in
every instance not only relieved, but cured
by persistent and systematic use Of the
sovereign remedy. Intermittent and bill
lious remittent fevers may be surely pre-
vented by daily use OF this powerful but
pleasant and mild tonic. Physical vigor il
the best armOr in which to encounter dis
ease. Secure it by recourse to the Bitters.
