E. C.. ALLEN .

Disease attacks the human system in
many forms, and often lies dormant for
a number of months before some exciting
cause brings it into activity, then if not
arrested at once, it generally ends in
death. People feel a little sick and think
it will wear off in a few days and they
will be better, but the disease works
quietly on unchecked and a severe spell
of sicknes is the result. There is vast
number of patent medicines in market
recommended for special diseases, but
the bitters known as Angelica, manufac-
tured by Mr.. Geo. H. Fickardt, of Circle
vile, have reputation of meeting more
symptoms and alleviating altogether
many distressing and painful diseases,
especially Dyspepsia, and at home where
they have been used for a number of
years, people will have no other. Drug
gists as a rule when good medicine is
left with them, set it back on their shelves
and sell the articles they can make the
most money on.
The bitters manufactured by Fickardt
gave such universal satisfaction that par
ties once using them for dyspepsia and
all diseases arising from defective diges-
tive organs will never be without them;
then they are sold at the low price of
twenty-five cents per bottle, and when
you take the dose into consideration,
which is only teaspoOnfull, they cost al
most nothing. Then there is some virtue
in them. They cure what they are re-
commended for. lust try them once, ,and
be convinced. Angelica Bitters, twenty
ty-fiye cents. Sold by all druggists.

Card from Deputy marshal Alien,
EDS. HERALD:
Are the Whisky-sellers of this commu-
nifty privileged class? Are the officers,
whoare sworn to execute the law, supe-
-ior to the law? Can they repeal or sus-
pend the law, at their option? These
questions are suggested to my mind by
the folloz ing facts:
am Deputy Marshal of the Village
of Washington, and on the night of the
4th of July the honorable Mayor of said
Village came to me and told me that he
had given the saloons permission to keep
open till 10 O'Clock p. m, and instructed
me to pay no attention to this violation
of law, because he had given them the
privilege to keep the back door open. /
was afterwards informed, by one of the
deputy marshals and two of the saloon
keepers, that the Mayor had extended the
time tor them to keep open until IL p. IN.
don't know that he gave them further
time, but do know, that they not only
kept open till II p. m. but some of them
until a. M, and some still later.
On Monday, the 9Th of July, Austin
Plyley and myself preferred charges
against all the salOon-keepers in the vii
lage, except John Meyer and Chas. Beck,
who closed their houses and went home
at O'Clock, but the honorable Mayor re-
fused to entertain the complaint, or TO
have anything to do with it; and not only
this, but informed us that he was running
this Corporation, and would not suffer
these cases to be prosecuted, and that he
did not propose to be bulldozed by the
Marshal, or any of his deputies.
The questions l would like to have the
people of the village answer, are: 'sHave
we 9 O'Clock ordinance? Have we an
honorable Mayor?''
was sworn, as Deputy Marshal, to ex-
ecute the laws of the State and the viii
lage; should l not have been sworn to
execute the will of our little autocrat, the
honorable Mayor, instead.
Yours, in search of information,
E. c. ALLEN.
