rT,HE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE.

The influence OF climate upon q constitution
subjected to trying change in atmospheric condl-
lions, IN water, and In food, is OFTEN marked and
disastrous Disorders o. the bowels and of the liver,
frequently terminating fatally, are prone to attack
the tourist by land, voysger by sea, in npaccus-
toned latitudes-more particularly those near the
equator. The best medicinal protection againskir-
regnlariies of the bowels, stomach aad liver, not
only from the above but whatever cause arising, Is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a uiedicine in wide
and increasing demand in sultry portions OF this
hemisphere, and also In the sropics. Travellers
en.grants, dwelers, and temporary soJonrnsrs in
narous districts use 1t very extensively as SAFE
guard. se17.WtwlF&n

NELSON COUNTY.

AFToH, Va, September IS, 1879.
kltorS Dispatch The political cal
DION iS beginning to boil, and the indica-
tons are that it will be at white heat in a
irN days. Some parties are getting scalded
slightly, but that is only gentle hint Of
What awaits such as array themselves
a-ainst honesty and good government. The
Conservatives OF Nelson are more closely
united than at any other time since 1869,
when DR.. William l.. Williams, their cam
dIdac for the Legislature, redeemed the
county from Radicalism. They are deter
mined to compass the defeat Of eX-Judge
stevens for the Legislature, and TO that end
viii support no man whose political career
- tainted. Their standard bearer must and
VIII be 4 man who, since the organization
m the party, has been true to its interests,
fHcr ready to obey its call, and always active
IN every campaign. William II. Goodwin,
IT., has disappointed his many friends and
supporters by withdrawing from the can
AS for The Conservative nomination for the
house. While ii Is generally conceded that
AlerIaIIy and pecunisrly he acted wisely,
4 q" was undeniably strong man, and his
4 'omlnation would be guarantee Of warm
& Ia determined work for the party. T.
G.crce Brent and DR.. A. 3. Fitzpatrick are
.i IN the field. The name OF Mr.. -
3'ldurant ls iavorablv mentioned in con-
-'clon with the Convention.
An encouraging feature in the canvass
h Inc return OF voters who have always
81 ,en independents, and an open cspousal
lie debt settlement by class who here
s. ere voted their party ticket, but made
~ otiier demonstration OF approval. 1t is
NJ lam that j. K. PEBBLES, county treasurer,
e. reported that his deputy, John II.
"'o0Sne (our popular and efficient trea-
q ''el !oF nine years), will support the set
/. riheht and the candidate of the Conserya-
IS " par'[. This does our people good, for
e "ood'oc has strong following, and is
III a'ty beloved. Ii he is active in the
u VI mpaign, as it is hoped he will be, the
s. 'aa>>eF'atlyes OF Nelson will lit their hats
n',n IN toe next campaign, and give him
~ =" IN Tue Legislature as a testimonial OF
d ''F gratitude. No man or combination of
sss- can prevent this recognition OF his
