The sTEPpISG. STONE TO HEALTH.-The acquisi-
ton of vital energy is the stepping stone to health.
When the system lacks vitality the various organs
flag in their duty, become chroncally irregular,
and disease is eventually insttdted. To prevent
this unhappy state of things the debilitated sys-
tenn should be built up by the use of that inimita-
bic tonic, Hostetters Stomach Btters which invig-
crates the digestive organs and insures the thor
ough conversion Of food into blood of nourishing
quality. from whence every m uscle, nerve and Ab-
er acquire unwonted supplies Of vigor, and the
whole system experiences the beneficial effect. APP
petite returns, the system is refreshed by healthfu
slumber, the nerves grow strong and calm, the dc
spondency begotten Of chronic indigestion and al
uncertain state Of health disappears, and that sal
low appearance Of the skin peculiar tc habtual in
valids, and persons deficient in vital energy, II
replaced by more becoming tinge.

Wendell Phillips to Jas, q. Blaine
BOsTON Mnse Sent IG la7R


Hon. James G. Blaine:
My DEAR SR-Plcase to remember ou
talk in the Senate Chamber last winter
when ] urged that the Republican party
should meet the wishes of the people, the
necessities of business, and the conviction.
of a large portion OF the thoughtful mer
of the nation.
IT, your party had offered plan for the
governments issuing OF all the paper note
currency "a doctrine to which the best Eu.
ropean thought is Fastening, If it has not
already reached it), the same to be legal
tender everywhere, and for every purpose,
and introconvertabe with bonds for a long
term and at lOy rate of interest, the
principal and interest of which should be
payable in coin, that would have saved us
from the Bourbon South in 1880.
What | hear from Republican business
men convinces me that if they could have
been countenanced in such platform by
trusted leaders, such leaders would have
carried the country. do not say that
such financial plan would have wholly
satisfied me, but it would have held the
country.
1t is sad to see party that has led the
world in advanced yet conservative opin-
ion, quit its place and fall behind the best
financial thought of Europe clinging to
obsolete if not exploded theories, losing
the helm in defence of ideas that ten years
hence men will smile at. One great con-
Germ with me is that thus they insure
Southern Bourbon rule for the next dozen
years.
Wealth here is almost omnipotent, and
its organization is very perfect, but you II
see that, once awake, the masses will
smash rings, journals, and parties, and that
neither wealth nor the sea-board rules this
people. Yours truly,
WENDELL PHILLIPS.
