Renovation, mot Progtration.

Did any enfeebled human being ever become
strong under the operation Of powerful cathar-
tics or salivants 1t is sometimes necessary TO
regulate the bowels, but that cannot be done by
active purgation, which exhausts the vital forces
and serves no good purpose whatever. The
only true wa! to promote health and vigor,
which are essential to regularity Of the organic
functions is to nyigorate, discipline and purify
the system at the same time. The extraordin-
AIRY efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Biters in
cases of debility irregularity of the organs Of
digestion, assimilation, secretion and discharge,
is universally admitted. Appetite, good diges-
ton, regular habit Of body active circulation
Of the blood, and purity of the animal fluids are
induced by this superb tonic and corrective. II

chllls and fever, and other types of malarial dis
ease. To emgrants aud travellers it is particu-
larly serviceable az a medicinal safeguard.

That Horse Thief.

-SHERIFF STEPHENS was right in his sus-
picions that the fellow Calhoun, whom he had
arrested some days ago, but had to release for
want of positive evidence to convict was a
horse thief. Calhoun hired the horse and bug
gy from j. G. Worthy of Dalton, and put whip
to the animal and came to Marietta, and offered
him for sale at a very Insignificant sum. On last
Saturday Sheriff jolly and Baliff Springfield
arrived here on the lookout for Calhoun, who
at that time was heard of in the lower part of
Georgia. The Sheriff went on through and the
Bailiff returned to Dalton.

A Very Good Reason.

The reason why only one sample bottle of
MERREIL's HEPATINE for the Liver will be
sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our
Druggists, lie because OF the enormous expense
of importing the Hepatine into this country !;
but as there are fifty doses in the large size
bottles, It seems two cents per dose is cheap
enough after all for medicine that cures
dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have
not had sample bottle are entitled to one for
ten cents at our DrugsIores. Three doses re-
leves any case of dyspepsia. constipation, indi-
gestion or liver complaint. in the world, Reg
