now exists, is perfectly absurd
Why, sir, il would lead to contract

better they would become worse"
Captain, who is the coming
man of your party, for congress9"
81 would say, Hon. P. W. Morris,
of Richie county, because he isby
all odds the most available, would
probably be 1000 votes stronger
than any other Republican spoken
oil. One element Of strength be
possesses in a large degree, is bis
good standing with the Greenback
party, He would make a highly
acceptable candidate in every sense
of the word. We shall go iu to
win this time"
Captain who will probably be
your candidate for the Legislature
below the Kanawha?"
81 would say unhesitatingly,
Hon. Green Beard. He was elected
before, would run well again, and
besides his Legislative experience
would make him a more valuable

NotNymptOIns. but The Disease

N0tHymptOIns. but the Disease
1t would seem to be a truth apprecia
BILE by all, and esnecially by professor
ofthe healing art, that to remove the
disease, not to alleviate its symptoms
should be the chief aim Of medication.-
YOt how many instances do we see thil
truth admitted in theory, ignored in
practice. The reason that Hostetter',
Stomach Bitters is successful in so many
cases, with which remedies previously
tried were inadequate to cope, is attrib.
utablO to the fact that it is medicine
which reaches and removes the causes
ofthe various maladies to which it /.
adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague
liver complaint, govt, rheumatism, dis.
order ofthe bowels, urinary affections
and other maladies are not palliated
merely, but rooted out by it. II goes ia
tile fountain head. II isreally, not nom.
inally, radical remedy, and It endows
the system with an amount OF yigor
which is its best protection against dis
ease.

The Ice Crop.

The New York Herald thinks that the recent
"cold wave" will ensure fair ice crop in that sec
ton, while reports from the kennehnc indicate
that last weeks freshet and snow fall have DIES
troyed all prospects of crop on that river. This
would be turning the tables with a vengeance, bu,
doubt if the situation the Kennebec is as bad
as stated. There Will be plenty of Maine ice at all
events, and we hope those who harvest it may real
ize remunerative prices.

DR.. j. c. AVER s. Co.-rwenty years ago
was harpooncr in the n orth Pacific, when five
others Of the crew and myself were laid up with
scurvy. Our bodies We're bloated, gums swollen
and bleeding, teeth loose, purple blotches all
over us, and our breath seemed rotten. Take 1t
by and large we were pretty badly off All our
lime-juice was accidentally destroyed, but the
captain had couple dozen bottles Of AYERS
SARsAPARILLA and gave us that. We recov-
cred it quicker than have ever seen men
brought about by any other treatment for Scurvy,
and I've seen n good deal gift. Seeing men
ton in your Almanac of your Sarsaparila being
good for scurvy, thought you ought to know of
this, and SO send you the facts.
Respectfully yours. RALPH Y. WINaATE.

disappear rapidly and am now quite well.
