A Double Danger Ayprtpl.


The inhabitant of a malarious region is
by double danger. He is not
only compelled to breathe miasma, but to
SwalIo,C it, since it infects not oniy the at
mosphere, but the water. The aerial poison
threatens his system through the
lungs and pores, the liquid through the
stomach. Against this double peril there is
but one protection, and that is to invigorate
the entire body through the digestive and
secretive organs. Ordinary tonics usually
fail to accomplish this-Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters never. In the tropics, where the
diseases originated by malaria are of Il far
more malignant type than those originated
by the same cause in the temperate zone, it
enjoys immense and constantly increasing
sales, and there is no portion Of this conti-
nent where it is not the reigning specific for
miasmatic fevers and disorders of the sto-
mach, liver and bowels, proceeding from
malaria and other causes.

We have received pamphlet copies of the
speech of Hon. Franklin B, Ciowen in the case
Of the Commonwealth VS. Thomas Munley the
Molly Mcguire who was indicted for the muir
der of Thomas Sanger on September lst, 1879.
1t is a clear, logical and powerful argument, at
once interesting and convincing, With legal
precision Mr.. Gowen TRACES the tragedy from its
beginning reiutes and overthrows the spccious
reasoning of the prisoners counsel and holds up
the murderer to the execraIon of the people
At times the speech is fairly eloquent and is
frightened here and there with poetical quota
tions, but the train Of reasoning s never broken
1t is certainly most remarkable argument and
well worthy Of perusal.
