In the April number of ''rhe For,rm,"
Representative II. Q. Mills of Texas
makes a critical analysis OF the census, 60
show that ii is so seriously defective as to
be useless. In the same number Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts, who was the
champion of the election bill in the SEN
ate, constructs an argument TO prove that
the Republican party was untrue to its
precedents and to its principles, because
the late Congress adjourned without en-
acting the election bill. He argues that
the series of great historical achievements
of the Republican party suffered so seri-
Gus n breach by this inactivity, that the
party must find new vigor to make its
future in any way worthy of its past.

The Frustrating Shocks

OF malarial fever are not to be counter
acted by quinine with any degree of cer-,
tainty, or for any length of time. The
eradication and prevention of diseases of
miasmatic type are, however, ascer-
tanned possibilities. Long experience has
shown that there is infinitely more pre-
ventive efficacy in the fine botanic medi-
cine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, than in
the alkaloids, drugs and poisons which
were formerly the only recognized means
of removing and anticipating attacks of
fever and ague and bilious remittent.
When the system has been depleted by
periodically recurring paroxysms, this
agreeable restorative renews the fund of
energy, ard is not only a positive specific
but repairs the damage to the general
health inflicted by all febrile complaints
partaking of the malarial character.
