Wedneday, Augat 14, 18'. FOR PRESIDENT, HORACE GREELEY,1 OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, GOV. B. GRATZ BROWN, OF MISSOURI. Dag lall. Qm vivz-In a special telegram to the Charleston News, August 8, says, That ex-Gov. Orr said *the elec-'on in the old North State was a "Dog Fall," in other words GaAst's FALL. Nevertbeless, we find this same afore said ex-Governor, in connection with other wo-thies, such as Worthington, Moses, Parker, Melbn, Nash, &c., feu de joiking orer0this Dog Fall, at the late jnbilation in Columbia. Anticipation we know is the forte of the ez-Goiernor, but we hope that he has anticipated a little too quickly this time. Tha Dad SeAimr. in Ue Lost Ca. Elsewbere in this issue of our paper will be seen the proceedings of a meeting held on the 9th inst., at Pomaria. The object, "to raise funds to erect a monu ment to the Confederate soldiers who died during the war," is a praiseworthy one. -We hear that this meeting at Po maria, has already risuited ir the sub scription of several hundreds of dollars. We feel sure that every section of the County will respond handsomely to this call fom Pomaria. Every one can spare something for a cause like this. Every litbke sill. help to swell the fund necessa ry to erect the monument which it is de sired to have begun at once. let everybody help a little and before another summer's sun shall shine upon the feld of strife in which their lives were lost, Newberry will have raised a monument to her dead soldiers in the lost cause. The Ku Etu= and the COlubiaTixn. Is the Editor of the above mentioned paper aware that there is still to he found in each issue a portion of Reverdy Johnson's speech in italics? We read the paper every day, but we must con fess that the stid italiczed space h9d become as familiar to our eves'as a- ster eotyped advertisement of Hostetter's Bitters,and we ceased to perceive it. We have no doubt that most of the read ers of the Union are in the same condi tion, and thereby loose that necessary admonition to -faithfully report all *Ku Klux outrages which are yet daily perpetrated in the land. We would suggest for' the safety of the country, that the Union use larger type and change the type every day until it reach es 40 yard Pica. It would he better still to print it in red. Pokeberry juice and molasses, it is said, makes a good bloody * ink, suited to the occasion ; but it would be still better to apply to the Grand Cyclops of the Kill Kinky Karacter's for real genuine blood wi S be always keeps in a Deijohn by his side for his whiskey toddies. For the address of the said Cyclops, the Editor may esquire of his imagination, the gen eral intelligence bureau of all K. K. out rages. In nur county the martyrs in crease with fearful rapidity. The fol lowing are two cases in point,which have come to our notice within the last hour : George Washington Cufie ; color-re publican ; profession-martyr ; number of shoes--15+; politics--black. His heart beat for freedom; he now fils a bloody grave. Dorothy Clanderdash, born and raised among the felloes of the hub; religion school marm ; profession-spinster; mother of three fatherless children, the youngest- with a graceful curl of the hair towards the fifteenth amendment,~ through spiritual af!inity. Having been reduced in flesh -by the late intense heat, she does not quite FIL her bloody grave. IHer spirit is marching right after John Brown's, and at last accounts he was just one length ahead, and it was thought if she did not lose a shoe and cut her ankle,like Longfellow, she would beat by a neck, a neck and n half, masybe two necks. Do get that bloody ink, or the Amer ican Republic is lost. "Nonsuane." For about the one hundredth time we have in the past year read such para graphs as the following : The house of Mr. Allen S. Dozier, of Edgefield, was burned down on July 30. The fire broke out in the stove room, and was discovered about eleven o'clock at night. Included in the wholesale de struction was not only Dr. Dozier's medical library, but also that of the late Dr. Harwood Burt, the father of Mrs. D)ozier. Dr. Dozier estimates his loss at tive thousand dollas at least. No in surance. A great loss is sustained and "no in surance." The lesson is repeated daily, nr.d yet the people will not learn it. Every man thinks his property is safe, yet the fire fiend, like the angel of Death, comes when he is least expoed, and is .quite as impartial at whose door he knocks. One man's dwelling house and furniture are burned to the ground; another man's barn and stables, with his mules and horses, are consumed ; asnother's mill, with the lumber and grain of his neighbors, is destroye-l; still another's store house, with his mer chandise and the profits of his labor for * years, iss sept away, and in most such cases there was not only no insurance, but the owners cannot tell how it hap pened.

Out door recreation being out of the question, on account of the weather, and the few books available all read, and there be ing a couple of good long hours to get through ere dinner time comes round again, and not feeling drowsy, and there being nobody just now on hand to talk to except Grandpa F., an old gentleman from the piney region of Orangeburg, and he unfortunately in a napping mood, there is no alternative left us but to sit down and patch up another communica tion. So here goes. If it affords ynu any enjoyment in the reading we shall be well paid. We have been here eleven days and feel GREATLY BENEPITTED by the water and rest, as do all other visitors both in the big house and cabins, and there is no denying that the water of Glenn's if drank rightly, will help, if not completely restore, the worst forms of many of the diseaces which afflict our people, and more particularly those of the lower districts, and now is a favora ble time to give it a test, for the weather is moderating from the extreme beat of the past few weeks. We should like to see a few scores of people here. Last Thursday night the REGULAR HOP came off, and there was a pretty fair turn out from the country round, who, to gether with those in hotel and cabins, helped to make pleasant a few hours spent in the mazy dance. Unfortunate ly your correspondent did not enjoy theI sight of this gathering of beauty, grace and fashion, ANnD war ? Imbibing too freely in the afternoon, night found us so very sleepy, that we could think of naught else but "our lit te bed." The effort was made to resist it, but the drowze was of a heavy cha racter. Making a compromise with Mor pheus for a short nap, and laying down crss-wise, and booted, but not spurred, to insure its brevity, we yielded to the sleepy influence, and alas, lost. The nap lasted longer than the dance, and not all the magic of JULIUS cARA's FIDDLING, nor his stentorian calls to Shaw-She, nor the rippling laugh ter which we are satis fed floated into our window, and over the little bed, had the effect of arousing us. We slept, as did the sailor boy in slumbers of midnight, and visions of . home danced through our mind. The beautiful dancers beloy, nor Caesar's bet efforts in Shoo Fly and variations, could break the charm. When it did break, the dance was broken, and we* fet very much like breaking the head of !forphe. You will admit after this, that this water is powerful-there was no thing else in it rest assured-unadulte rated mineral did the work. This was not the only FANT?ASTIC REcREATION, however, for on Saturday evening an im promptu dance was got up, in a twink ling of time almost. A party from over the branch happening in about sundown, the idea struck through the tympanum of our resident John so hard, and which called so loudly for a dance, that it could not be resisted. The beaux were soon on hand and in lively run after the belles, and it is astonishing how little timo was lost. Scarcely conceived ere it was put in motion, and ere the room was lighted and swept here they came, some had had time to slip into clean starched white pants, to fix up a tangled curl, or add an additional beaux-catcher or streamer, but the majority felt fixed enough, andi were too ready for the frolic to delay. For a quick thing the Saturday night's hop was quite a nice affair,and had we, not already given too much space to this subject we might attempt a description, as it is, however, we will just 'hop' over Grandpa F., of whom allusion was made in the beginning of this lettcr, Is A HERlO and deserves some mention, having done the country considerable service in rear ing a large family of children, and now. enjoys a rich fruition in a large crop of grand-children. We sit together, drink togeter-of water-walk,- talk a n d drowze together, and compare notes. He has 39 grand-children-or had until Sat ourday night last, when the wail brought atelligence that i daughter had Lately ,iven bi-th to twins-which makes I ?OTTV OE, ,here is luck in odd numbers, but we im igine he don't see it in that light, and nentatly figures up the additional cost )f candy and Santa Claus doing. Would aot friend Andy of the Baltimore Corner it home pay homage to such a man, how Jelighted would he be to uneet such a prize, how he would backle down to the work, embrace him, go around him, in Front, side and rearoffhim. Tmagination is lo,!t in the picture. TO %TI:! F' to Grandpa F.; he teils us he has a sis ter who gave birth to three children at :ne pop. and at another time to two. A prolific family surely, long may its foun. ler wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave --more especialiy as XF. GREELEY is to be our next president. But the old man F.-you see an item of news here is worth a deal, and we will not quit it till it is worked threadbare-we account for his success in the fact that he has always remained at home and attended strictly to business-and in proof of this, on giv ing out some pieces of clothing to the laundress yesterday, he remarked, that though he had lived 64 years, and was grandpa to 41 living chips from the old block, this was the first time he had ever given out any WASHING FROM HOME. We ccnsider this an interesting fact, and on the whole a good item, therefore make no apology for its length. A day or two since we found a good nut for picking by cotton growers. Here it is-one of the most successful small farmers in this region is a man whe PLANTS No COTTON, that is no more than a little patch for his old woman's use and behoof. He raises abundance of corn, hogs and cattle, not to mention the inevitable chicken, (his name is not Smith,) has good horses, and in short is on the road to fortune-erack it ye cottonists who pay out all your hard earnings for corn and bacon. Al luding to this worthy example to a neigh bor, and attributing his success to bog and hominy and other small things-we were told that he also bad a "still." We will drop the subject therefore. How very much are missed from their old haunts, the courteous Dr. Moore, and the amiable Mr. Clough Beard, both of whom now moulder in the silent dust, beneath the clods of the valley. Their presence added much to the interest and pleasures of Glenn's. Mr. Beard, it is known by many of our readers, had many STRANcE NOTIONs, among which was one that in the new earth, which in tbe fulness of time is to come-all the animal creation wonld oc cupy it just as they now do, and would be recognized by former masters, and ad mirers. This was his pet hobby, and he rode it continually. Thinking of this the other night, and in connection with the roads of this County, and particular ly that known as the Jonesville road, we wondered if the poor horses which now toil over these hills and gullies and rocks, to getherwith those who were long ago worn out, and whose bones are whitening with the frosts of winter and suns of sum mer, will be bettered in the new birth unless the roads are worked. He main tained they would occupy their old hunt ing or rather grazing grounds in the ssme old form, and know and be known. Better that they never be born again un less the roads be fixed up-so says an Edgefleld man, John Hollingsworth by name, and we are rather inclined to agree with him. Our young friend George K.i.t left this locality on Monday inorn ingbefore day, and considerably in the dark-beside it was raining-and over this very worst of roads; and at night when our very reliable and excellent ack-driver, Taylor, returned, we very naturally inquired if there was anything left of George-"Oh, yes," said he, "he is all right, but was DREADFULLY SHOOK UP." Poor fellow we felt for him. If any one would like to be shook up let them try this road. ' IT's STILL A. RAINING, and according to "probabilities" it will continue to do the same for some time to come-it is recognized as one of the wet weather spells, and though we can't; navigate with any degree of safety down the hill leading to the fountain, in con sequence of its very slippery condition, we are consoled that we are dryly housed, and every one of our other wants sup plied by friend Fowler, our host. One of the weather-wise PREDIcTS A FRtESHTET, but we trust not, for this would be a ca-. lamity indeed, with the splendid pros pects for crops which now presents it self. The oldest inhabitant hereabouts cannot remember ever having seen such corn and cotton. We trust no accident will happen to mar the prospect. Have we made our USUAL MENTIoN of chicken yet ? If not we will just state that the crop is abundant-and an old lady only this morning told us that they are so numerous in her sister's yard that it is difficult to walk for them, and that they are too fat and lazy to get out of the way. That would be a desirable place to board at-and the particular at tention of a few Newberrians, and among them N. G., and R. M., is directed to the fact. Any further information will be cheerfully given if solicited. We had ALMOST FORGOT to mention that it is raining, pouring right down, and the clouds look like there might be considerable fluid still to be poured out. This would be distress ing, but that there are several charming adis yoan, middlad. married and mmarried within plessant and easy ange, beside the larder is fully supplied, o that there is no reason to fear famine ither in "feast of reason or flow of soul." Jave not seen friend S., or the flea-bitten ,rey in nearly twenty-four hours-in onsequence of the rain. We would like o add a lin.e about the weather and the -ain, but have extended our com. coo much already, and will therefore simply say that it is "still a raining." We are feeling better, much better, and ope to write again very soon. Yours till then. For the Herald. SffEPUA=sTOW.-, W. VA., August 2nd, 1872. DEAR FRIEND GRENEKER: I have received letters inquiring about lands, &c., in this country, and I take this pportunity and this metho.. of speaking a word to the friends in Newberry, who think outh Carolina one of the poorest places in the United States. It is true that "distance lends enchant ment to the view," and that e are too apt to think all other places better than our own. I have just been over a large portion of the famous Valley of Virginia-the finest por tion of West Virginia, and the central part of Maryland. I have seen the finest lands in these three States, and the finest in the East em and Southeastern portion of the United States. I have, within the last few days, 3een thousands of acres that will make from thirty to seventy-five bushels of corn per acre; and I wish to say what I have often heard others say, and what your people will not believe, viz: that there are thousands of acres in Newberry just as good originally, as the finest lands here, and with the same culture will make nearly as much corn, from Sve to ten bushels more of wheat or rye, just as much hay, to say nothing of your supe rior advantages in cotton and climate. The difference is not iu land but in the cultiva tion. Lands here that sell for from fifty tc one hundred and fifty dollare per acre, are no better in themselves than land tha t in Newberry can be bought for ten. While your people, in July, are either toll ing in their cotton rows, or lying around, these are hauling out great lots of barnyard manure, spreading it over the land, until the soil is almost hidden, and then turning it under with three or four horse plows from twelve to eighteen inches deep, thus making a soil broken and pulverized to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches. This land is put in wheat this fall, and after all their work, they get in return not more than an average of twelve or fifteen bushels of wheat. I speak now of the average farms. Now take your best land, or your average land, and cultivate it that way, and you will get thirty bushels of wheat, and forty bushels of corn, or a bale of cotton. There certainly can more money he made by farming in South Carolina, with the same labor, than in this country. Our farmers there must come to some sys tem of farming, and that system must cut their farms down to one-half per hand and orse that they now have, and introduce a rotation of crops, by which the land will be improved every three years, until it becomes rich, and then it will be easy to keep it so. There are rich farms here that were once as poor as Maj. Baxter's farm beyond the Cem etery. Farming too, is mnch harder here than in Newberry-the soil is stiff and requires a great deal of harrowing and. .aolling to pul verize it, while yours breaks up mellow. Mch of the farm labor must. be dq,us in the fall and spring, in snow and ice and cold, while you can enjoy the warm sunshine. T'imber is an item here, and every part of the most snrly tree must he mauled up into fine wood, while you waste mere than farmers here use The dwelling nd barns are generally good, and must, on account of the severity of the winters, be made comfortable. Every farmer here tries to have several three horse plows, a horse thresher, a mower, a horse rake, a horse drill, and some three or four different kinds of frames for hauling in his crops. The consequence is, to buy a one hundred acre farm, and stock it, and get ready for farming as it should be done, cost a man about ten thousand dollars. Then he is only ready to begin a life of toil, out of which aie must make his support, but when thus pr.epared, it is one of the surest and happi..st ways he can earn a livelihood, and he a: once becomes the most independent of men. Another difference is, the farmers them selves labor. Some of the most intelligent and substantial citizens, graduates of col leges, and public officers of the County or State, make a hand in the farm, and it is not disreputable at all for gentlemen and ladie to labor. The consequence is, we have but few drones, who sport their canes and change their dress three times a day. All, old and young, contribute to the wealth of the country, and the happiness and com fort of the domestic circle, by doing some thing. And yet there are no people to be found who enjoy life with a greater relish than ours. We have more social parties and public gatheiags than you do, and our people en joy each other's society to the full. In conclusion, let me say to my friends in Newberry, altogether, you have one of the finest countries the sun ever shone upon, but your farming system needs great improve met, and your social system needs modifi cation, and then plenty and happiness will reign in your midst in spite of Grant or Greely. We hope that tncle Horace will do better for you than Grant has done. Wc are staking our cast up here on tUcle or Our doctrine is, lie can't be meaner, and we know he is much smarter than Grant. so we go for him. Yours, &c., J. H. Scorr Dma-rs GRaYs.-!n a speech al Greenville General Butler said that Gov ernor Scott had told him that "he did not care if Greelcy was elected." The trouble was that Mr. Grant had accused Governor Scott of stealing; that Grant was poor and is rich ; that Scott could have bought Grant out, and now Grani could buy Scott out. This led Gov. ernor Scott to ask this pertinent ques tion: "If I got my money by stealing, how did Mr. Grant get his?" These things confirm what is openly said in political circles in Columbia, Governor Scott is not frantic on the sub. ject of Grant. But what would the peeo pe think of Mr. Scott as the Greele3 car.didate for Governor of "our beloved State." Surely politics make us ac. quaintcd with strange bedfellows. [Charleston News. The report which basn been current ori our streets for the last few days, of the whipping to death of the notorious Gaptain C. V. Hamilton, by the author ities of the Penitentiary, has no founda ion of truth whatever. We understand that a gentleman from this place saw and conversed with Hamilton, at his labor on the Air Line R. R., ?a few days ago-since the report became current. Ilailton, we learn, stated to the above mentioned gentleman, that he was well treated, well fed and not overworked. LMcDuf5e Journal. For the Herald. GREE-4RIER WHITE SULiHUR SPRINS, Greenbrier Co.. W. Va.. Aug. 4, 1872. DEAx HERALD: The "dear old White" s!ti1 still dear to many people-but it is not the fo White of old. Tree it lies here imbedded among the mountains which tower above and around it like guardian sentinels. Its grass is as green, and its shady nooks and de- v lightful walks are as attractive as ever, yet in the character of its visitors it is sadly changed. Once it was the resort of all the P better families of the South. Courtesy, re finement and real elegance reigned here. The hlls and balconies rang with the hearty -p laugh of noble gentlemen, and the eyes. of fair women shone brighter than their .iewels. Now there is seen no little of the influence of Northern society. Shoddyism attempting to be respectable here has a fall display. The most elaborate toilettes and sickening senti mentalities meet the visitor on every baud. There are a few, however. of the "old school" still to be found amid these favored haunts. There are between 1,200 and 1,400 persons. here at present and the cry is "still tbv come." Among the visitors I notice the r burly form and noble face of Hon. Beverly Tucker; W. W. Corcoran, EZq., noted for his distinguished and itostentatious liberality, receives nor^ attention perhaps than any other man at the Springs. South Carolina is very well represented--Col. Aiken, Judge Bacon, &c., &c., and at night when the lights are ablaze, and stirring music makes the fly ing feet fly faster, and young hearts leap and bound 'till corset strings are broken. Then and there in the ball room can be seen the splendid head and handsome face and even handsomer form of Col. S., the synonym of popularity, not only among women but even 1 among men, smiling down from his magnifi cent eyes upon upturned faces that smile back again-peerless he moves about, calm, self possessed amidst scenes the most excit ing. The Messrs. Peyton certainly deserve great credit for the gene.al satisfaction which they are enabled to give such a crowd. The table is supplied with good, wholesome food, and the bar with the best of liquors, and though the waiters are a little slow sometimes. yet If one will remember that it is no small mat ter to feed 1.500 mouths he wi!l be able to keep his patience and in time get plenty to eat. I understand that the 15th August has been fixed for the masked ball. The ladies of course are already crazy about it. S' ALTONS.I [For the Herald. MESSRS.

C., Aug. 9th, Iff12. Judge Orr in the Past. The Greenville Enterprise brings to light the following bit of Judge Orr's history. In view of his present advocacy of a military chieftain, this resurrection of bis former opinion is rather cruel: Judge Orr, in his elaborate and pa triotic speech in Congress, en the Presi dential question between Fianklin Pierce and General Scott, undertook to show the American people the danger to their republican form of government, in se 'letmng a military chieftain for their President. He exclaimed, "Thank Heaven ! We have not yet reached that point in the decline of our Government, when it is necessary to elect a military man to administer the Executive De- 1 partment of the Government." In the next sentence, he says: "Most republics 1 have had that experience where they: had traveled far do-rn the road to de strution, and when the time arrinas for s to elect military chieftains to dis charge the functions of civil officers, then farewell, a long farewell, to all our reatness." He then prophetically tells the people: "The second election will be made by the army, and the appointee will be a dictator !" Not satisfied with Ithis prophecy, he wisely and most truth fully says : "In this country, civil quahi fcationst are alone required, and how ever bright a halo of glory may encircle 1 th rahd brow of the military offcer, if he is deficient in a knowledge of civil policy, and is destitute of statesmanship, I he is not worthy to rule the people of the United States, and ought not to be trusted with the delicate duties devolved on our chief magistrates, growing cut of our foreign and domesticerelations." These are the words of sober truth and wisdom; and never was their application more op portune tnan they are at present. No friend of General Grant will pretend to say that he is not "deficient in a knowvl edge of civil policy. and is destitute of; statesmanship." TsaariHc TUUma-tSTrM-FAr.u. RE sULr.-OO Thursday night, the 1st of Ags.te house of Mr. J. T. Rogers, afewmle below Society Hill, was struck by lightning, and considerably Ishivered.

It is be. lieved they would certainly have beenI Ikilled had~they been in the house. Tbe kitchen was also struck. In the absence Iof the occupants of the house, Mr. Bath elor, his wife, and a married daughter, who was on a visit to her parents, who ar laborers on the place, were tempo rarily lodgi ng in the kitchen to protect the place. The daughter was killed, the mother so seriou'sly injured that her re covery is doubtfuil ; thc father escaped with a severe shock.

We also regret to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Xirardeau have lost their infant daughter, &ary. We are informed that a Charade Club, in onnection with the Association, has been rganized at Pomaria, to aid in the laudable ibject of the meeting held there, notice of hich is published in our columns. This is move in the right direction, and we hope on to see similar moves made by our pa riotic citizens in different sections of our 'unty. We would again call attention to the de apidated state of the bridge in Boundary ,treet.

SCRAPs-- -ALL FOR THE LADIES. Somebody def.nes mock turtle as kissing efore company and fighting afterwards. The latest marriage in high life at La 'ayette, Id., was a wedding in a balloon a mile above the earth. "You cruel man," cried Mrs. Jellikins, 'my tears have no eifect on you at all." "Well drop 'emc then," said the brutal Jellikins. "Wouldn't vou like to be a woman when ou grow up'?" "No," answered young bur-var old. "Why ?" "Because women ~an't turn summer sets." A sweet "girl graduate" of a Massachu ~etts school recently told an examiner that "Eop was the author of Latin fables, coy ~red with hair, and sold his birthright for a ness of potash.' We have had the pleasure of seeing he "Conquered Banner," design for one f the bas relief of the proposed menu ment to the Confederate dead of South Carolina. The conception is touchingly beautiful and well carried out in all its parts. In the foreground stand all the emblems of warfare devised and broken, over which roops in mournful waves a tattered Confedeate flag. Below is the shield of the Confederacy, :raped with a funeral pall, while by its side lies the voiceless harp of the South. The design reflects great credit on the genius and taste of the young artist, Charles A. David, Esq, of Greenville, . young man who has just graduated with distinction at Wofford College. We learn that Mr. David's artistic talent is entirely self-trained, but we hope that he will use the means to culti vate this rare gift. If he des, we. predict that he will one day become an artist whom his native State will claim with lust pride.

TUTT: Dear Sir-I feel it a duty to you and to suffering humanity to make public the great merits of your Extract Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight. For years I have been a great sufferer, my general health broke down, and I was afflicted with nervousness of the most terrible character, which was soon fo! lowed by an eruption all over the body, form ing large ulcers in scme places, and attended with rheumatic pains. Tongue cannot de scribe my suffering; I was reduced almost to a skeleton, and had a perfect loathing of food. I was attended by several physicians, who rendered me no relief. I despaired of ever being well again; but thanks to a kind Providence, I accidentally heard of your medicine. I sent for half a dozen bottles, and before I had taken three I began to feel better, my appetite improved, and the rheu matic pains became less severe and I could enjoy sleep. I have continued its use, and have taken eleven bottles, and believe I am a sound man again. The ulcers have all healed, my skin is smooth and healthy, and I have gained 22 pounds in weight. I be ieve my sickness resulted from a taint of scrofula. I would earnestly recommend your compound to my fellow sufferers. With deep_gratitude to you, I am ever your friend, - JAS. FRANKLIN.

This must be converted into blood, upon which the whole system draws for whatever it re quires. 'To make blood, the food must be completely transformed. First it is sub jected to the mechanical action of the teeth. But no mechanical action can liquiify solids. Therefore during mastication the saliva is poured into the mouth. The saliva is alkaline, containing salts of soda, potass and lime. It serves to lubricate the mouth and moisten the food, so that it may as sunme the pasty condition. Its chemical costitutents are needed to convert the starchy elements (useless as starch) of bread, potatoes, etc., into sugar. Thus, if a little pure starch be chewed, it will become set, being converted into sugar by the saliva. The salhva also converts sn ar into l.actic acid, which the stomach emands as a condition of its ac tion. Itf food is swallowed listlessly and without appetite, it is certain that the first conditions o1 digestion have been violated. The food is thrown unprepared it.to the stomach. The gastric juice cannot do the office of the saliva. The result is Dyspepsia. Now by a thorough knowledge of the natural laws governing digestion and nu trition, and by a skillful manipulation of carefully selected stimulant and tonid%erbs, Dr. Fischn, in his Bitters, has provided a remedy which, acting directly upon the nervous systemn, stimulates appetite, and, as the resulhing reflez of this, promotes the secreton both of the gastric juice and of the saliva, thereby enabling the alimenta tive organs to convert the materials of the food into nutritious blood, and to transform the quiescent forces of the food into the active forces of vitality.

Mi A PERILOUS SEASON. -Glorious and delightful as the Summer weather is, its tropical heat is a severe trial to the vital powers. Even the strongest are sometimes ptostrated by its effects. The common phir.ise applied to this con di'ion of the body is "generai debility." Now, general debility arises from, and in cldes a variety of ailments. The liver is r.ore or less affected, the bowels are either constipated or too much relaxed, the stom ach but half performs the work of digestion, the appetite is poor, and the spirits deprcss ed. This is what is called general debility. It is a general disarrangement of nll the physical functions, and requires as a remedy a medicine that will regulate them all. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted to this purpose. Its general op eration is not confined to a single organ. If the liver is affected, it restores its tone. I the stomach is torpid, it regenerates it. If the nerves are tremulous and weak, it braces and reinforces them. If the mind, which ever sympathizes with the body, is gloomy and despondent, it relieves the difficulty, and soon brings the whole me chanism of the body iu'.o harmony with the laws of health. There is no civilized nation in the West ern Hemisphere in which the utility of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters as a tornic, correc tive, and anti-bilious medicine, is not known and appreciated. Throughout the Tropics it is considered, both by the people and the profession, the standard specific. While it is a medicine for all seasons and all climates, it is especially suited to the complaints generated by the weather, be ing the purest and best vegetable stimulant in the world. Beware of the Bitters m.tde of acrid and dnerous materials, which unscrupulous parties are endeavoring to foist upon the people. Their name is legion, and the pub he has no guarantee that they are not posonous. Adhere to the tried remedy, Hostettr's Bitters, sald cnly in glass, and never in kegs or barrels.
