Rational Medication.

Medication is only successful when it is
rational, and it is rational only when it be-
gins at the beginning. In other words, to
cure malady, its cause must be removed.
Weakness, either general or local, is the or
igin of the great majority of diseases. Re
inforce the vital energies. regulate digestion
and secretion, by strengthening the organs
which perform those all-important func-
tions, and dyspepsia, constipation. kidneys
and bladder complaints, uterine difficulties,
impure circulation, and the thousand and
one ailments which are the consequences of
debility, are completely, and in most cases
permanently, removed. The best, safest
and most agreeable tonic and Alternative that
can be employed for this purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. The experience
of twenty-five years. during which time 1t
has outlived perhaps ten times that number
of ephemeral preparations which have en-.
tered into competition with it, has proved
il TO be uisequaled as remedy for all disor-
ders accomplished by or proceeding from
weakness.

THE turnpike question is still the
theme of conversation among our peo.
pie, and in the present condition of
roads, we think they can appreciate the
magnitude and Importance of the ques-
ton. We are rather of the opinion
that the friends of improvement should
wish for few open winters, if for no
other purpose than to show our tax
payers how much they are standing in
their own light in refusing to at once
enter upon a system of piking. Our
Commissioners are ready and anxious to
take any steps in this direction which
will neet the approval of our people.
Let us, as sensible men, adopt some plan,
and enter upon tas soon as spring opens.
We notice feeling in some quarters
to insist that in case the bill passes the
Legislature to levy two mills on the dol
lar for road purposes, that a clause
should be inserted prescribing that the
money shall be expended in each town
ship where levied. We are even willing
to accept this modification in our anx
iety for good roads, though we do not
consider it the most equitable plan. In
fact we are willing to DO almost anything
honorable to facilitate this important
and vital work.
