The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wake fitness is in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach. Good diges- tion gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the prominent symptoms of a weak state of the gastric organs IS disturb ance of the great nerve entrepot, the tde brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you restore equilibrium to the great centre. A most reliable medi- cine for the purpose is Hos- tetter's Stomach Bitters, which IS far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though they may for time exert a soporific influence upon the brain, soon cease to act, and invariably injure the tone ot the stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, restore activity to the op. erations of that all-important organ, and their benefcent influence IS re- flected in sound sleep and tranquil state of the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is likewise given to the action of the liver and bowels by its use.

A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with it's sud- den changes of temperature, rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day,--it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglect ed colds, half the deaths resulting di- rcctly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will pre- vent serious sickness, a large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Con- sumption, Hemorrages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, it's success is sim ply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syiup is now sold ill every town and village on this conti- nent Sample bottles for trial, lOc. l; regular size 75e.

So one day she fell in with old Aunt Polly Baker, who had been sorely afflicted with chills and fever for several years and could find no relief. Betsey Ann volunteers to say that there WAS Q remedy that would cure her sound and well, an,l that it did not contain any bad med icine, that it did not make "thunder in the head, that it fairly etore up'' the chills, root and branch and work ed them out through the liver and bowels, and that the article was known as Days Ague Tonic. Aunt Polly was cnred very soon thereafter. -Feb14.

 A correspondent of the Ozark Democrat says that Dr. Mclean, n resident dentist at Charleston, was found dead in his bed on the evening of the 22d. Excessive drink and in haling the impure air in freshly painted room caused his death. CONSUMPTION CURED.--An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the form ula of 8 simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure of consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung af- fections, also positive and radical cure for nervous debility and all nervous complaints, after having tested it's wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive, and desire to relieve hu- man suffering, will send, free of charge, to all who desire it, this rec ipe in German, French, or English, with full directions for preparing and using.

l intervals I would sniff up the so- called catarrh snuff. until l became valuable tester for such medicines. I gradually grew worse, and no one can know how much suffered or what miserable being l was. My head ached over my eyes so that I was confined to my bed for many successive days, suffering the most intense pain, which at one time last ed continuously for 168 hours. All sense of smell and taste gone, sight and hearing impaired, body shrunk- en and weakened, nervous system shattered, and constitution broken, and I was hawking and splitting seven eigths of the time. l prayed for deats, to relieve me of my suffer- ing. A favorable notice in your paper of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy induced me to purchase a package, and use it with Dr. Pieree's Nasal Douche, which applies the remedy by hydrostatic pressure, the only way compatible with common sense. We'll, Mir. Editor, it did not cure me in three fonrths of a second, nor ln one hour or month, but in less than eight minutes l was relieved, and in three months entirely cured, and have remained so for over sixteen months. While using the Catarrh Remedy, I used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify my blood and strengthen my stomach. I also kept my liver active and bow els regular by the use of his Pleas ant Purgative Pellets. If my expe- rlcnce will induce other sufferers to seek the same means of relief, this letter will have answered it's purpose. Yours truly, s. D. REMICK.

 Some Information about the area.
 the Soil, the Timber, the Schools
 &c., &c.
 We are in receipt of a printed cir cular from Mir. W. A. Webber, stating that at the request of Senators Gar land and Crayens he is preparing a Statement of Arkansas resources, climate, schools, &c., &c., for the use of the Hon. Wm. G. LeDuc, U. $. Land Commissioner, at Washington, to be incorporated in his next report. We are requested to furnish answers to series of'questions, and as we are continually in receipt of letters from the north asking similar questions we have determined to answe through the DEMOCRAT. The an swers are given and numbered to correspond with the number of the question propounded.
 l. AREA.--Pope County has an area of about 720 square miles, or 460, 800 acres. The county is about 20 miles cast and west, and 36 miles north and south.
 2. SURFACE AND TOPOGRAPHY. - The surface of the County is of di- versiiled character. In the northern part of the county is broken and hilly, with running streams of pure spark ling water coursiDg their way along the intervening volleys. Along these streams there are rich valleys of land and many fine farms. The table lands on the tops of the mountain spurs are undulating, but rich and level enough to admit of cultivation. Some good farms have been opened upon the tops of these mountain ridges. The timber here is fine; walnut, wild cherry and chinquepin often grow to be , to ? feet in diam etre. In the southern part of the county, except>in the river bottom, the lands are high well drained up lands, the elevation being perhaps 100 or l20 feet above the level of the river bed. In the vicinity of Russell vile there is beautiful prairie with an area of about 5000 acres.
 3. TIMBER County is well timbered. Some ot the finest piner- ies and cypress brakes in the State are here to be found. Oak, of all kinds, Hickory, Walnut, Gum, Ash, wild Cherry, Cottonwood, Sycamore, &c., &c, abound.
 4. WATER COURSES. The Arkan- sas river sweeps the southern boun' dary of the county, flowing in a southeastern course. The county has river front of about 30 miles. giving us large body of river bot tom lands.
 Bic PiNEY and LITTLE PiNEY wash es the western border of the county, flowing from north to south and emptying into the Arkansas river about half way between Russcllville and Clarksville.
 The lands along Piney are equal to River lands and some of the finest farms in the county are to be found along these creeks. The ILLINOIS BAYOU rises in Searcy County, just north of Pope, and flows down through the hills in a southerly direction dis. charging into the Arkansas river 3 miles west of Russellyille There are some fine mill sites on this stream.
