That Disease Breads Disease.

Is notorious fact 1t is therefore ofvital
Importance to check maadies in their birth,
ere they have chance to develop other
and more dangerous disorders. As a
means of checking complaints which, if
alloSed to proceed, finally disorder the en-
tire system, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is medicine the use of which cannot be
too strongly urged upon the sick and feeble.
The physical functions are regulated by it.
it insures the acquisition of vigor by the
debilitated. and it substitutes cheerful
condition of mind for gloom and despon-
dency. Dyspepsia, constipation, liver com-
plant. aud kidney and bladder troubles
yield to its remedial influence; it counter.
acts a tendency to gout and rheumatism.
and invigorates the nerves. Moreover, il
is derived from purely botanical sources,
and in this, as in every other respect, il
superior to the mineral remedies of the
pharmacopeia.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

1T Is A FACT ESTABLISHED and we'll known
that the Arabians attained height in the knowl.
edge of medicine which caused the whole world to
wonder and admire. With them the science OF
chemistry had its birth, and it is therefore, not al
all strange that people eminently successful in
the healing art, aud so persevering and daring in
character, should, by actual and untIring experi
ment, discover remedies far surprising in efficacy
all others, for the cure of those diseases incident to
them from their mode of life. The greater part OF
their time teing spent in hazardous and bloody
warfare with the different tribes, they subject
10 tn@ most violent attacks of rheumatism Daralys
Is, neuralgia pains, and various inflammatory dis
eases, as also the most hOrid wounds, sprains brui
ses, tumors, swelings, diseases of the JOINTS etc
All these diseases they were so surprisingly eff
cient in curing, that the uninitiated looked with
wonder and attributed their skill 10 the powers OF
magic. II G. FARRELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT
is q composition of balsams and oils, from rare
plants peculiar TO this country, and 1t by the
that not only their physicians, but even the wild
Arabs of the desert were enabled to perform such
MIRACULOUS cures. The Arab steed is world-re
/ nowned for his beautiful symmetry of form. his
unsurpassed speed and agility, and the incredible
fatigue it is capable of enduring. Why is itf Be-
cause from the time of his birth his limbs care
| fully watched, and upon the first appearance OF
disease the magic lotion is applied and such things
as confirmed sweeny, poll-evil, fstula, rlngbone
scratches, SPAWN lameness ETC., etc., are unknown
The same result will follow in all cases where II

supply of 1t, for every dollar spent in it will save
you twenty, and great deal OF suffering, If moi

CATARRH.
TWELVE YEARS
OF SUFFERING.

GRNTLEMEN:-About twelve years ago, while
travelling with Father Kemp's Old Folks Concert
Troupe as tenor singer, took severe cold and
was laid up at Newark, n. J. This cold brought
on severe attack of CatarFh which battled with
every known remedy for four weeks without avail
and was finally obliged to give up most desirable
position and return home unable to sing note.
For three years afterwards was unable to sing at
all. The fret attack of CatarTh had left my nasal
organs and throat so sensitive thnt the slightest
cold would bring on fresh attack, leaving me
prostrated In this way continued to suffer. The
last attack tue severest ever had, was terrible
suffered the most excruciating pain in my head,
was so hoarse as TO be scarcely able to speak, and
coughing necessarily. thought was going into
quick consumption, and firmly believe that had
these symptoms continued without relief they
would have rendered me an easy victim. When in
this distressing condition, commenced the use OF
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE PoR CATARRH, very re-
uctantly confess, had tried all the advertised
remedies without benefit The first dose OF this
wonderful medicine gave me the greatest relief. 1t
Is hardly possible for one whose head aches, eyes
ache who scarcely articulate distinctly on ac-
count of the choking accumulations in his throat,
TO realize how much relief obtained from the first
application of SANFoRD's RADICAL CORE Under
is influence. both internal and external. rapidly
recovered, and by an occasional nee of the remedy
since have been entirely free from Catarrh, for the
first time in twelve years.

BUCHAREST, Sept 14-Friday night:
A correspondent writes as follows: Il left
battle field before Plevna at noon yester-
day. The two redoubts, taken by Gen.
Skokelef on Tuesday evening, were held
twenty-four hours, Wednesday the Turks
made six attacks, and finally. about six in
cannon which he had placed IN the re-
doubt, He asked for reinforcements sey-
eral times, but Gen. Levissky refused
them. thinking Gen. Skobeleff had
enough men to hold the redoubt. FL
nally, Gen. Krieloff on his own re-.
sponsibility, sent the remnant of a
regiment which had attacked the lower
redoubt near Plevna, and whose effective
strength was reduced to 1000 men utterly
unfit to 90 into battle. Even this regiment
arrived few minutes too late and another
regiment sent from the headquarters of
the staff to reinforce him arrived when
Gen. Skobeleff already had retreated.
The loss of these redOubts is disastrous
for Russian attack, as it seems, that the
Russians 10 possession of these two re-
doubts, and Grivica redoubt, had counted
upon resuming the offensive Immediately
This now lis impossible until the arrival O;
reinforcements When | left the battle
field the Russians were still in possession
of the Grivica redoubt, which was under
a continual heavy FIRE from the Turks.
