ical maladies, that is to say, those
that affect the kidneys and bladder,
have a remarkable promlnence-we
had almost said-preponderance.
Brlght's disease and diabetes in the
chronic stage, are rarely cured, and
gravel, catarrh of the bladder and
enuresis, slay many Yet at the
outset, when the trouble merely
amounts to inactivity of the organs
involved, the danger may be nulli-
fed by that thorough renal tonic

Bitters, which imparts the requisite
amount of tone to the organs, with
out over.exciting them, and the use
of which is convenient and involves
no elaborate preparation. Dyspep-

complaints, and debility, which they
invariably produce, are remldied by
it. SO also are constipation, mala-

of executions yesterday, and the
landed property he auctioued of
would make a man rich to own all
of it, yet he received small bids and
knocked the property off after lin
gering awhile for better bids which
never came. The Driving Park as

Fair Grounds, was put up and sold
for 81 800 This property was and
is now valued at over $40, 600, 1t

a splendid race track, which i'm

and dollars to put on the ground.

purchase. We do not know what
he intends doing with this property
IN its present shape.
The next piece sold was the Tex

and valued at some $4,000 or $l5,

property at 81, 900.
Other property was put up and
sold. Col. O. X. Wheeler bought
two lots in the Sixth Ward and Hal
Harmon bought couple. He tells
us he will sell several pieces today

argument for solid times, still it is
