OF MEETING THEM.
Cincinnati Correspondence.
Cincinnati may not deserve the repu-
tation of "Festive City," but it GER
tainly controls a monopoly of Festivals.
First it was the Opera Festival, next the
Dramatic, and more laterally it has been
the Flood and Riot Festivals. These
latter Carnivals many not possess the
attractive features that the two former
were supposed to have, but they are
none the less likely to prove powerful
and more lasting in their results. had
vely interesting conversation bearing
upon this subject, with the Rev. J. Pike
Powers, the we'll known Divine, who has
charge of the Baptist Church at Owenton,
KY, few days since. / found that the
Reverend Doctor was very well versed
in matters pertaining to the welfare
of the World, as we'll as the Church.
In the course of our conversation he
said:
''The effect of both the riots and the
floods are such as to naturally cause
keen regret. The former show, in dis
tressing degree, the extremes to which
human nature can go when in it's fren
zied state, whether justifable or unjusti-
fable. 1t takes long while for COM
|
of every day life, after such furore as
we have had"
''But do you think that such an upris
ing is more to be regretted than the
tloods?''
''That is hard to say. There are very
many things that follow as the result of
freshet that are greatly to be deplored.
Principally among these may be men
toned the damp and unhealthy condi-
| ton in which the country is lett, by
reason of the overflow of water. The
drying up of the water by the sun causes
| miasma of a dreadful nature to be gen
Grated which sows the seeds of disease
and death in the community. Indeed,
this is true of the Spring-time in all re-
gions, whether they are visited by fresh
cts or not. There are millions of people
in this country who are at this moment
drawing in rank poison with every
breath they take, and the wonder to me
is that sickness is not more common than
it is"
''Do you think disease is contracted
by breathing air impregnated with fun

"AIore certainly than in any other man
ner. I am positive most diseases are |
contracted in this way. The rank air |
poisons the blood and the mind becomes
dull, the digestion poor, the muscles
ache, the head throbs, the tongue grows
white, appetite departs and general de-

my mind since the experience l have
had with my own family. l have found
that bv the use of what is certainly a |
most valuable preparation, the whole |
body is so toned up and invigorated that |
it can repel these malarial enemies of
health. That preparation is Warmers

eyes. One of my sons had suffered
severely from dyspepsia and mal-assim-
ilation of food, coupled with headache
and dizziness. We tried various prepa-
rations without avail, and it was not I'M
til Tippecanoe was given that he began
to improve. He was greatly reduced in
flesh, had lump in the stomach appa-
rently as hard as brick-bat; his appetite
was poor, and he looked very badly.
We we're distressed about him. This
remedy has, however, restored his APP
petite, corrected his stomach, relieved
his headache, and now he is growing fat
and can eat almost anything without
distress. Mrs. Powers is enthusiastic
upon this subject and so am I. You see
many so-called stomach preparations
are composed so largely of alcohol that
they create an appetite for strong drink
and encourage vice. This preparation
l have named is an exception, and l
think it should be universally known"
And that is why the above interview
is publihsed.
