PURITY OF FAMILY MEDICINES.


Among the many specifics intro
duced to the public for the cure of
dyspepsia, Indigestion, arrangements
Of various kinds, and a general weak
ness of the human system, within a
few years, d~ecoctions of vegetable bit
ters have held a considerable place.
Some of these have for a time had a
considerable sale, but with doubtfully
good effects and much injury. Such
should never be taken into the human
body. Often bitters have been made
highly popular for a time by being
largely charged with whisky and
other spirits, thus m%inistering to a
depraved appetite. In this way the
medicinal purpose for which they were
avowedly offeredto the public has been
missed, and sale to which they attain
ed before their true character was
thoroughly known has completely fall
len away. The writer in his visit to
Rochester has had the pleasure of
meeting with Hop Bitters," an en-
tirely different compond from those al
ludedto. Itisfvey earss since their mer-
its were brought before the public
and they have steadily increased in IA
vor until they are, without question,
the most popular and valuable medi-
cine known. The exceeding intrinsic
value of their leading cOmponents is
in no way destroyed or lessened by
deleterious quality of any other ingre-
dieut. They contain, along with the
purest hops, buchu, mandrake, and
dandelion, other medicines recognized
as possessing the most effective cura-
tive properties. They are especially
beneficial to clergymen, lawyers, liter
arg men and all those subjected to
the strain of mental labor. They
cure almost every disease of the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and urinary organs.
For nervousness and all its attendant
ailments they are a never failing rem
edy, giving tone to all the organs
where formerly there was feebleness
and an all-prevailing feeling of
weakness. They have attained to
an immense sale, which is the surest
proof Of their successfully meet
ing the wants of the people.
We have seer letters from old estab-
lished chemists testifying to this, and
others from private individuals, stat
ing that after they had had the SER
vices of distinguished medical men
without any benefit, they experienced
perfect relief from their bad COM
plants by the use of these invaluable
bitters. They discharge their cura-
tive powers without any of the evil
effects Of other bitters.-N. Y. Mer.

Hayes Cabinet and the Grant
Boom.

Washington Cor. Hartford Times Dem)
Secretary Schurz is more outspoken
against Grant than ever. In a on.
versation several days ago he said in
case Grant was nominated at Chicago
he would Immediately resign his place
in Hayes cabinet and take the stump
against him. One of Grants friends
hearing Of this, said that
in case Grant is nominated, one
Of the first things he will demand
Of Hayes is that Schurz shall
be Immediately bounced from his
cabinet, for the reason, be said, the
opposition Of Schurz would benefit
him as it did before. Schurz says he
thinks Hayes would work hard for
Grant, if he was nominated, even
harder than he would if Sherman
was placed in the field. Postmaster
general Key still has a hope that
Grant will carry the day at Chicago.

with the southern vote-regardless Of
any other ticket that may be in the

much pleased with the way the way
the Key boom is progressing as he
would like to be. The lukewarmness
of certain southern postmasters in
having delegates instructed to vote

him favorably, and if the convention

We regret to learn that General
Pennybacker has been indisposed and
confined to his rooms at the Maxwell

been very painful, and is the result of
his old wounds, received in the SER

him, after travelling fifteen hundred
miles to mingle with his many friends
here and to assist in the celebration Of
our centennial, to be debarred these

equally felt by his host Of friends and
