Western Settlers Chosen Specific

With every advance of emigration into
e far west. new demand is created for
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters. Newly
peoped regions are frequently less salu-
bilious than older settled localities, on ac-
count of the miasma which rises from
recently cleared land, particularly along
the banks of rivers that are subject To
freshetS. The agricultural or mining
rmigrant soon learns, when he does not
already know, that the Bitters afford the
only sure protection against malaria, and
those disorders of the stomach. liver and
bow els, to which climatic changes, eX-

THE Fort Worth Mail has discov-
cred that the New Orleans work was
a blow at civilization. The Mail is in a
great minority. The press of Great
Britain, fully informed as to the char
acter of the men who received their
deserts at New Orleans, justifies the
act and so does the press of America
very generally. The necessity for
such appeal from the courts to the
people is always to be deplored, but II
does not follow that the appeal itself
is to be unqualihedIy condemned.
