fell in the revolution, is a lasting and
beautiful tribute of art 1t is on of the
first objects sought by strangers visiting

his majesty was especially gracious in ac-
acknowledgement of what his remedies are
reputed to have done for the suffering
sick. 1t was donated by the Doctor to
the City of Lowell as a permanent and
speaking emblem of the victories both of

that the wet season has caused the weeds,
bushes, &c, to grow up in the country
roads to such an extent as to hinder
travel. There was a law passed March

down all weeds, burrs, bushes and briars,
growing in county or township roads, or
public highways. This must be done in
the months of July and August. See

Purify the Springs of Life.


1t is n sine qua non of health, that the sour
ces of vitality, the "springs of life,' should be
free from contamination. The fluids which, by
their action upon the food, transforms itself,
must be pure, if the muscles, the bones and the
brain are to be properly nourished and kept
vigorous. To this end the stomach, the liver,
the bowels and the kidneys should perform un-
interruptedly their various functions, since if
these are disturbed the vital fluids speedily be-
come vitiated. The best, nay, the ONLY blood
depurent which purif1es them, by overcoming
those bodily Irregularities which produce them,
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The principle
upon which this salutary Alternative acts is as
simple as it is philosophic. The origin of most
diseases, and invariably those which affect the
organs above mentioned, is weakness, caused
by insufficient assimilation of the food. The
Btters speedily rectify the cause of the difficult
ty by restoring vigorous digestion, so that all
parts of the physical structure supplied
with an abundance of pure, rich blood. This
increases the activity of the discharging organs,
and enables them to throw of the effete matter,
which, ranking in the system, destroys health.
This bodily refuse having been got rid of, and
perfect assimilation re-established, there is
nothing to prevent a healthy and active per-
formance of the various functions Such being
the case, it is plain that the Bitters not only
the most reliable stomachic but an eradicant
of those diseases of the liver. bowels and kid
neys which contaminate the springs of life.

strange serpent which he found on his
fathers farm, was about two feet long,
and looked like a snake, only it was
thicker about the body. <It<left shiny
trail as it moved along. The, particles
of which it was composed. were indepen-
dent living beings, like worms or small
snakes, and they were about one-iourth
of an inch in length. From the descrlp-
tion which he gave we judge that 1t was
a colony OF minute serpents, moving IN
the form of a snake, the same as a hock
of wild geese always fly in the form OF a
triangle.
