ToRTUREs THAT NEED NOT BE
ENDURED.--Peeple suffer a great
deal of pain unnecessarily. Among tor
lures that need not be endured are those
inflicted by the rheumatism and gout,
since the acrid element in the blood
which produces them by contact with the
sentative covering of the muscles and
joints may be Eliminated by the use of
that matchless depurent, Hostetter's Stom.
ach Bitters. before the infammatory sym.
toms are developed to any great extent.
When 1t is considered what excrutiatine
tortures rheumatism i%nficts, and what .
tendency it has, when fully developed,
to attack the heart, the I'D visibility Of an
early use Of such . reliable aatidote be.
comes ct once apparent. The rheumatic
virus is expelled from the blood by the
increased action of the kidneys-whioh
acts - straiuers--produoed by the Bit
tiers, and the sufferer will find, if he uses
this supreme defensive agent, that be
will be protected against q return OF the
agon'siDg complaint. Dyspepsia, fever
and asue, liver and bowel complaints
aud other maladiss, ars also cured by
this admirable remedy.

thing in the parish Of Orleans
the Town Council Of that City
would have received the message
with perfect contempt, as you
should have done yourselves
We have our legislators, they are
able end highly competent to en-
act the laws we need. The tax.
payers Of this corporation are sat
is6ed with their just and eqitable
ways of administering the govern.
ment Of the town. If the case had
beon reversed, we would not
growl so loud, because our town
legislators are fully competent, to
out-legislate the parish as we'll as
the State legislators, and by a
master-stroke of the pen they
killed that independent body.
Let me give you a good piece
Of advice, you the three-6fths Of
the trainers Of that Sunday law.
Resign your position as legis-
lators for the parish Of Vermilion
and don't make bigger fools Of
yourselves.
Do not try at patching any such
a law. Remain at home quietly
with the old ladies, it will save
the trouble and expenses to the
parish of sending you to Jackson,
to recover from your mental aber-
ration. Your wives, by taking
good care Of you, will bring you
back to your sane senses ; but if
you persist in enacting Sundays
or any other days law, we are
afraid that it will require all the
medical skill of this parish to
cure you Of the hydrophobious
mania Of patching laws.
