committed in this Territory Or district,
nor in any county, but simply in

any other designation; whereupon, Mr..
Carr rose and presented a new indict-
ment, which charges Dame, Elliott,
Welder, VIM. &. Stewart, George Adair,

ATriumph Over IHumbug

1t is not difficult to alarm the timid, and
invalids are proverbially so, Aware Of
this fact, the vendors of pseudo bitters,
"entirely free from alcohol" have raised
false cry against tonic preparations con-
tanning spirits, and no doubt have frigh-
tened few sick folks into purchasing the
fermented rubbish which they sell, and
which is infinitely more injurious than
the vilest drains drunk at tavern bars.
But already tremendous reaction has set
in against these abominable nostrums,
which, being devoid of the alcoholic basis
which alone prevents liquid botanic prep
arations from turning sour, decompOse al
most as soon rs made. Hostetter's StOnl-
ach Bitters has lived and will live down
multitudes of such impOstures. A regular
recurrence of the demand for the great
Alternative invigerant from those who have
always been its patrons, shows that they
have not swerYedin their time-honored al
legiance to Americas most popular RENE
DIV; and constant influx of new orders
demonstrates how little impression, after
all, the blatant denunciations of the mock
bitters men have made upon the general
public. SO long as UOstetter's Bitters con-
tinue to cure and prevent Intermittent
and remittent fevers, dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, kidney diseases, and the numerous
other ailments to which they arc adapted,
they will continue to dominate the fac
tious opposition of humbugs, and that will
be just as long as they are manufactured
and sold. Be It known unto all bogus nos
trum vendors, of every degree of audac-
ity and knavery, that they can never hope
to puff themselves into public faver at the
expense of Hostetter's Bitters, the repu-
