A Nasty Water Advocate Keel-Hauled.


A gentleman from Moline, in an article
in this paper, overhauls Mr.. plain Facts"
on the water question-in fact keel hauls
him. 1t is singular that the nasty water
advocates, after the Medical Association,
by vote of to 4, with able physicians
present who were not members but who
fully agreed that the water was the cause
of the disease, thus making | / to against
the nasty water.-it is singular, we say,
after this, and after the expert" engaged
cy the water works committee has re-
ported thai sewage poison cannot be
detected either by chemical analysis or
microscope, and that "scrupulous care
should be used to prevent the fouling Of
the sources of drinking water by sewage.
from which alone the subtle germs of
cholera and typhoid fever enter" the
human system; and also reported ''the
absolute necessity of fiItering the river wa
ter; and after the water works committee
reported that 1.-THE water works of city
should always be placed where there is
the least possibility of contamination from
its sewage, 1T is singular, after all tlis,
and after it is apparent that out of every
10 persons in the city coincide with these
conclusions, that the Union and it's nasty
water advocates should not have sense
enough to shut their clam shells, y dry
up, b" 'vamoose, git eout," instead of
exposing continually their ignorance and
mendacity in defense of disease producing
water. Instead of doing this they should
join in some honest effort to prevent a
recurrence of the suffering the people
have endured for the last two months, and
the dangers of death on a recurrence OF
the calamity. Though the water is im.
proving slowly, under the influence of all
and sun and the freeing of the shores from
ice,yet we are liable, especially in winter, tc
recurrence of the calamity, and THE
ARGUS will continue to urge measures Of
prevention until the people are so awaken
ed to the subject that some efficient actor
will be taken

Very Quiet Election.

The saloons were closed-in front-and
election day in Rock Island was very quiet
and orderly. We very much regret the
defeat of Messrs. King and Kennedy, a
couple of very good men, both enterprising
and intelligent citizens. Mr.. Kennedy re-
ceived "a votes more than were cast for
the Democratic candidate last year, and
had he been elected he would have made an
active, independent and efficient alderman.
Philip Simmon had walk-away. the
vote showing the high respect in which he
is held in the ward He is most sincere,
honest and upright man.
In the Second Mr.. Schlemmer, an honest
upright, intelligent and judcious man,
was elected by a large majority over
James P. Taylor, who has had the office
itch ever since he came to town. jim
used to be good Democrat, and he has
probably now learned that it isn't so very
funny, or popular either, to follow Jim
Parks's lead. The sooner he sets up for
himself, shakes Jim Parks, and resumes
his honest political belief, in which his good
father Scotch Taylor raised him, the
better he will sleep o'nights.
Michael O'Nel. the gallant Irishman, &
highly intelligent and enterprising youne
man and property holder in the ward
''scooped EN-" in the First. He il
a good man and no doubt will make gooC
alderman. And his opponent, Georg,
Solander, is a gentleman in every par
ticular and would have made good alder
man. The contest was a warm one, bu
we trust that no unkindness was engendere
which will remain.
After the votes were counted the zealou
young friends of Schlemme r and ONE
gave vent to their joy in some heart
cheers and general rejoicing. We hon
the repres, natives of the First and Secon
will show that they deserve all tn
enthusiastic support they received, an
we have no doubt they will be very credit
able aldermen.

Renovation, not Prostitution,

Did any enfeebled human being ever be-
come strong under the operation of power
full cathartics or saiivants? 1t is some,
times 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 way to promote health and vigor,
which are essential to regularity of the
organic functions, is to inyigorate, dis
cipline and purify the system at the same
time. The extraordinary efficacy OF

disease. To emigrants and travellers it is
particularly serviceable as a medicinal safe

Inflammation, which other remedies invariably
cause, and is pleasant to the taste.
1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cines 10 be able to state that 1t is now nearly 30
years since they were first introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used In
various parts OF the United States, and have given
10 patient and practitioner the highest degree Of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed: whether in town or country
hospital private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequvocal satisfac-
ton, and produced the most sautary and beneficial
effects. Numerous letters have been received from
some Of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors Of several Med
zeal Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value Of these medicines, and their su
periority over other preparations for such COM
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines require considerable care in
the preparation and the employment OF different
menstrual In successive operations to take up the
eXtractive matters, and In consequence are most
frequently improperly made and not unfrequently
much impaired, II not rendered totally inert by
injudiclous and unskiliul management OF those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations OF sarsqparilla and OF
Buchu, and various modes of preparing then
have been given, all Of which, OF course, will diffe
according to the mode Of preparation which eacl
individual may adopt 1t Is, therefore, Of tn,
highest consideration and importance TO the pub
lie and 10 the faculty that there should be STANDARD
preparations Of uniform strength, and possessin
the most advantage To effect this, and obviat
the Inconvenience alluded TO, have made
number OF experiments to ascertain the mos
eGectual means OF extracting the virtues OF Sar
ssparilla and the Buchu, and 10 discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
mcut- have resulted most favorably, and II is will
much pleasure now offer to the public and tn
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, whic

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common 10

manufactured, the grinder protects his

HELMBoLD's BUCHU. = Helmbold's
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainable IN GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. AS diuretic. it is supe-
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton, and the diligence used in the selection
of the crude material, have made it known
far and wide as a reliable and effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit The great
success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa-
tiou acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration. Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm
bold's only.
