The Products OF Indipestton

Inability of the stomach to act upon the food
is productive of serious and speedy mischief to
the entire bodily economy. The circulation
languishes and grows poor; leanness, pallor,
and a loss OF muscular and organic power su-
pervene; but, worse than this, the functions
associated with and dependent upon digestion,
such rs evacuation and the secretion OF bile,
grow irregular, and the organs whose business
it is to discharge those functions become badly
disordered. This disastrous state OF things is
more readily and thoroughly rectified with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than any known
medicinal agent. The stomach being invigo-
rated, the lite-giving principles of the blood
are increased, the system properly nourishe9,
leanness and debility overcome, and the
bowels and liver thoroughly and promptly

The Secretary OF War says that our govern

to treat with Sitting Bull and request him to
return to the United States. At this time he

accept the proposition made by General Terry

officials have since assumed the responsibility
of taking care of our refugee Indians, and il

FUNGI IN A

The human ear is sometimes attacked by
q disease which shows itself in the form of
a running sore; in many cases the tympa-
mum is destroyed and hearing lost before
the nature Of the malady is discovered. The
disease is due to the growth of a microscopic
plant or fungus Of the Aspergillus family.
1t especially thrives when, from any cause,
the secretion of wax in the ear is stopped or
hindered. The microscope is a valuable
assistant in the discovery of this fungus.
Consumption, the most disastrous malady
that afflicts humanity, is now said to be
caused by a yeast plant that fourishes in
the blood. The presence of this fungus in
the blood is readily shown by the micro
scope, and now forms the subject Of careful
study among physicians.
DR.. Ephraim Cutter, M. D., of Boston,
Mass, has devoted much labor to this sub
ject, and, we understand, has recently pro-
duced micro-photographs of the fungus
with Tolles' remarkable 1-75 objective.
We believe that DIR. James Ii. Salisbury,
of Cleveland. Ohio, was among the earliest
to detect and describe this curious yeast
plant of the blood.

A NEW THEORY ABOUT FOOD.

A German physician has started a new
theory with regard to food. He maintains
that both the vegetarians and the meat eat
ers are on the wrong track. Vegetables are
not more wholesome than meat nor meat
thar vegetables, and nothing is gained by
consuming a compound of both. Whatever
nutritive qualities they may possess, ne
says, are destroyed in a great measure, and
often by the process of cooking. All food
should be eaten raw. If this practice were
adopted there would be little or no illness
among human beings. They would live
their apportioned time and simply fade
away. like animals in a wild state, from old
tism, and indigestion, try for a time the
effct of q simple, uncooked diet, such as
oysters and fruit for instance, and they will
find all medicine unnecessary and such a
rapid Improvement OF their health that they
will forswear all cooked articles of food at
once and forever. lntemperance would
also, it is urged, no longer be the curse of
civilized communities. The yearning for
drink is caused by the unnatural abstraction
from what are termed "solids'' of the aque-
Gus element they contain-uncooked beef,
for example, containing from 20 to so per
cent, and some vegetables even a larger
proportion OF water. There would be less
thirst, and consequently less desire to drink
If our food were consumed in its natural
state without being first subjected to the
action OF fire.

Is indisputable, viz, that more at

great deal of the burden of local
taxation. We should prefer to see

ONE of the absurd features Of
Hayes's message was that which
related to the Chinese question.
The people of California are as
sured, after two years of incessant
agitation, that, through the efforts
Of the State Department and the
profound diplomacy of our legation
in China, his Serene and Imperial
Majesty, the Brother of the Sun
and Uncle of the Moon, is ready to
listen to what we have to say.
This certainly bespeaks q tremen-
dous energy on the part of our di-
plomatic agents. When such mo-
msntous results can be accom-
plished in given case in two
years time, the people ought to
look upon the three or four million
dollars paid out to maintain minis
ters and consuls abroad as money
well expended. Our impatient
m asses are being treated to first
class travesty of Dickens's famous
Circumlocution Office. We desire
to put point blank question: Does
any man think a Democratic Pres
ident and a Democratic Secretary
of State would have paltered with
the aspirations of whole section
in this insulting manner?
