The Season of EntermitGents.

All miasmatic complaints, in other words,
all disorders generated by unwholsome ex-
haatouS from the earth or water, are prev
aleut at this season. In every section sub
Ject TO the visitation of fever and and ague,
or other forms OF intermittent disease, the
causes which produce these maladies are &C.
lively at work. This, therefore, is period
Of the year when the inhabitants of such
Districts should prepare their system to
Meet the unwholsome condition of the at

Treatment. Foremost among the invigor-
ants, recommended by time and experience
as means OF certifying the system against
all endemic and epidemic maladies, stands

use of the Bitters, the feeblest resident of an
unhealthy soil may escape the sickness
which, without the aid of this potent ally

The Silver Question.

The Ohio Republicans are rather delphic

They are for remonetizing the silver dollar,
but not restoring it Internationally.

cdtion." What the people want is that si.-
yer shall be remonetiZeu and ade a legal

The necessity for reorganizing our clubs
can no longer be questioned, and we should
proceed at once to organize for the purpose
OF more effectually opposing the progress
of any ticket that may be put forward in
opposition to the Democratic nominees.
Since the nomination of our county ticket,
dissatisfaction on the part of few at the
results of the primary election, which is
unwarranted, has been manifested, and the
indications are that there will be a full
ticket in the field, opposed to the Demo-
cratic nominees, called the Independent, or
the "PeODIe's Ticket"
