FOBTT-EtGHTH DAT. The convention yesterday did comparatively nothing. The members looked care-worn and weary, as if not accustomed to late hotirs, and the work dragged. The legislative article was brought up for action, and sections 32 and 33 stricken out. Mr. C. P. Leslie offered a substitute for sec? tion 34, referring to homesteads, and, after I some sparring, the whole matter was referred j to the Judiciary Committee, with instructions to report Friday morning, at ll o'clock. F. L. Cardoza rose to a < " istion of privilege. He said: There was a matter referred to yesterday which has gone forth to tbe world in the pub? lic prints in such a shape that, if not correct? ed, will do injustice to this convention. It was stated by the chair that there were fifteen or twenty men down stairs who were intoxi? cated. The President-The chair desires to remark that he said he had been informed that such was the case, and that the statement was not made upon his own authority. F. L. Cardoza- I only wish to add that my colleague from Charleston (R. C. DeLarge), in making his remarks upon tho subject, was nat? urally jealous of the dignity of the convention, and tor that reason arose and challenged the truthfulness of the allegation. While on the floor, two or three of the delegates, mvself among the number, made some jesting obser? vations about his having come from down stairs; but I do assure you that on my own part, no intention existed either to hurt his feelings or to reflect upon his personal char? acter. I wish to state furthermore that the Presi? dent was misinformed with reference to the bar-room, for I went myself to ascertain if the charge were true, and discovered that there were no intoxicated men there, had been none there, uki, therefore, that there had boen a re? flection upon the dignity of the convention and of my friend from Charleston. R. C. DeLarge-As one of the parties impli? cated, and as the information was given to the chair by the gentleman from Darlington, I feel it to be due to myself that he should explain whether the charge haB proved to be correct or whether his remarks were in jest. B. F. Whittemore-I am not in the habit of jesting with the convention. I was informed of the condition of affairs in the basement of the house by a delegate on this floor, namely, that fifteen or twenty persons were intoxica? ted, and that the bar ought to be closed. Thereupon I reported the facts to the Presi? dent of the convention, and I did so for the purpose of preserving the dignity of the bodv, not to reflect upon the character of any indi? vidual. The remarks made by me just before the question was taken yesterday were not di? rected towards the gentleman from Charleston because I thought he was in an improper con? dition, but because I thought he was defend? ing the statement that a bar actually existed. The President-The chair is of the opinion that the object in raising this question of pri? vilege has been attained. Tue character of the gentleman from Charleston, and the char? acter of tue house have alike been vindicated. Indeed, the chair was never under the impres? sion that any charge was made against the members of the convention, and he presumed that the allusion to improper conduct referred to outsiders. T. J. Robertson, from the Special Committee of Nine, made a favorable report upon the or? dinance providing for a commission to investi? gate the financial condition of the State. Made a special order for Thursday at 4 o'clock. The petitions of Daniel B\ Miller, of Rich? land; -Houses! and Henry Sumner, of Newberry, praying the removal of political dis? abilities, was referred to the Committee on Pe? titions. The convention then adjourned. The Roman Catholic Church of St. Charles Borromeo, Brooklyn, waa destroyed by fire on Sunday morning, v.ith a number of valuable paintings, &c. An application is before the Mexican Con? gress for concessions to build a railroad from the City of Mexico to thc United States line. The report of the company's engineer has been made, and it shows no serious engineer? ing difficulties in the way of the enterprise. The slopes of the Sierra Madre are the chief obstacles, and they are not insuperable. The route of the road will be quite direct, and will not be over thirteen hundred miles in length. If the too frequent manana or procrastinating policy of the Mexicans does not prevail in thi3 case, the road may be completed in from five to seven years; and when opened, it will be? come necessarily one of the main lines for the great traffic from China, Japan and Australia. This scheme has excited the lively interest of the Mexican Ministry of Fomento, or public works, which fact will guarantee the necessary concessions being granted by their Congress. An effort is about to be made to suppress beggary in London. Thc journals, in leading articles, warn the public not to give alms to anybody in the streets, and the magistrates are determined to deal summarily with all offenders. Sir Robert Carden, an alderman, who sent a batch of eighty-one beggars to prison three weeks ago, publishes a letter in which he exposes the trhks of the profession. One ragged boy had a fine 6uit of clothes at home, and used to spend his evenings and his money at places of amusement. An old beg? gar woman had saved money, and invested in the funds or national debt. She received an income of $200 a year from this money, and asked to be allowed to continue her imposi? tions until she had bought stock enough to give her $50 a year more, when she promised to retire. Beggars are bad enough in Ameri? can citiee, but no American, it is said, can form any conception of the amount of beggary in London, unless he has been there. As you walk tho streets it seems as if everybody were asking you for pennies, and you are forced to yield to importunity, if not to charity. THINGS IN WASHINGTON. BTTM0BS OF THE PEESEOEXT S LINE OF DEFENCE THE IMPEACH2IENT TEIAL-ADMISSION OF ALA EAXA-EXCOrBAGING MESSAGES TO THE PBESI DENT FBOil MATNE, ETC. Thowell informed "Washington correspondent I of the Baltimore Sun writes, under date of Monday night : j Paragraphs from Washington have appeared in seveal papers, purporting to give the points that will be made by the President in his de? fence before the Senate, the character of his pleadings, &c. There ie the best authority for saying that all these pretended points are founded upon the merest speculation, since Mr. Johnson and his counsel have not decided what shall be the exact nature of the defence, nor what shall be the character of pleading first to be filed in the Senate. On Friday next the attorneys of the Presi? dent will put in an appearance in obedience to the summons, and then ask for a time that they sbr.ll deem sufficient to enable the answer to be framed and the defence prepared. It is generally conceded by the prosecutors of im? peachment that twenty days will be allowed for filing an answer, but tliere is reason to be? hove that a majority of the senators will, con? sent to thirty days for the preparation of the defence. TliiB may be followed by a replica? tion from the manag' rs of the House, to be filed shortly after the answer is filed. '< This done, the day for trial will be fixed, and | it may be that it will proceed instantly upon this making up of the issue. There is now ? manifested among all classes a more general j appreciation of the importance and gravity of , this prosecution than was exhibited for about . ten days after the adoption of the impeach ment resolution, and Radical representatives who at first expected to dispose of the whole . matter by the middle of this month, to-night j admit that there is no prospect of a termina? tion of the trial before the middle of May. Your correspondent has reason to believe his own estimates cf the duration of this trial, pub- j fished some days ago, are correct. There was a consultation of the President and the cabi net to-night, upon the impeachment articles it I ' is supposed. I i It is learned from members of the Recon- I straction Committee that they will to-morrow , report to the House a bill for the admission of j Alabama at once. The Democrats are to be al- \ lowed a few hours for discussion upon the bill, but as now arranged the Radicals will be silent, , and probably without a dissenting vote pass ? the bill to-morrow evening or on the next day. The Republican Senators are known to be di- j ? vided in the opinion upon the propriety and * legality of the proposed bill, and there is great jj doubt about its passage by that bodv. But if * Radical managers of the project shall succeed ? in their purpose, the Alabama Senators will be r admitted to seats in the Senate before the tee- ? timony or regular hearing in the impeachment commences. Such, I am informed by some of the managers thomselves, is the plan. The President received to-night from Au- t] gusta, Maine, the following telegrams: e "Impeachers rebuked-Augusta gives sixty one Democratic majority. It is the largest 0 vote ever thrown. The" Democratic gain is tl five hundred on the vote ot' 18C6." Also-"The i? home of Morrill and Blaine responds to im- . peachment by a Democratic victory-the first in twelve years. Mayor and Aldermen elected on the largest vote ever cast. Have confidence tl in the people." a SPECULATIONS AS TO THE FBESEDENT'S CO?BSE jj DURING HIS TBIAXt. m The Washingston Star of Monday evening L professes to shadow forth the line of defence P decided upon by the President's counsel in im peachment, and the course he will individually ai pursue in certain contingencies, subject to fd- n ture modification as circumstances may die- ^ tate. The Star gives the following as the pro- p gramme: C( This morning it is stated by leading Demo- ci crats that the Jrtresident has fully decided upon ? his plans, and that there will be no hesitancy ' in carrying them out. First. On iftxt Friday *, his counsel will appear in court ready to pro- g ceed with the trial, and will not ask for an ex- ? tension of time. They will then object to every ~j Republican senator * who has expressed an opinion as to Mr. Johnson's guilt or innocence on the articles of impeachment, being allowed ? to act as jurors in tbe case. This point they, D. of course, do not expect to carry, but have it . overruled. Second. The question aa to whether senators from twenty-seven States constitute _ the Senate of the United States will be raised, i They will take the same view of this matter - that the President has in all his public speeches ^ and State papers maintained, that until ten m Southern States have their representatives in L the House and Senate of the United States, _ that the latter body is not competent to take ?, up, try and pass judgment on so vital and im- 0) portant a question aa impeaching the highest n officer known to the government. Failing on both these questions, the President will then p firmly refuse to proceed with his trial, assert- ? ing that in such a court justice cannot bo done him, and then will rise and tender his resigna- f, tion, and appeal directly to the people to sus- ?i tain him, and to pass judgment at the ballot- . box against the Senate of the United States. g( A NEW COMPLICATION. a| A Washington letter of the 7th instant to the New York World eays: ? It is given out to-night that one other arti- ti cle of impeachment will be proposed in the V1 House to-morrow, through General Butler, p based upon a charge made by one Belknap, jj formerly a purser at the Brooklyn navy-yard. j{ who alleges that the President has neglected K to restore him to his official position, from ? which he was suspended Borne two or Baree w years ago. Belknap's statement is that the yi government funds at the Brooklyn navy-yard ? were stolen; that he caused to be arrested ser- 0 eral parties whom he believed to be the U] thieves, and had them delivered into the ej custody of the Navy Department; that af- t< forwards tbe accused were liberated; that ? Belknap was charged with defalcation in A $100,000, the sum stolen; that he waa BUB- 0 pended; that he demanded of the Secreta- ? ry of the Navy a trial by naval court martial; n that, according to law, if no such trial be or- tl dered in twelve months after demanded, the VJ President must restore the suspended officer ? to his former official position; that no trial was B] ordered; that Belknap has asked to be restor- ti ed, but the President and the Secretary of the b Navy have failed to comply with the demand. I ? Upon this statement Belknap urges another e: article of impeachment, and it is alleged that t? General Butler will propose such article in the w HOUBO to-morrow. Without at preeent going fc into a statement of the views of the Navy De- 0 partaient on the facts and law in this case, it fc may be stated, however, that taking Belknap's ci account of the facts as correct, there is a doubt 0 of the power of the Executive to restore him tl to position, Ac, and that this legal point is in- <i volved in several military cases now under con- c: sideration. n THE 51'ABDLE CASE-INTEBESTIXG DECISIONS OF fi THE SCPBEME COCBT. ej Lu thc Supreme Court on Monday, Mr. David g Dudley Field resumed his argument from p Thursday in the McArdie case for tho appellant, n holding the unconstitutionality of his arrest ^ and trial by military authority. At tho conclu- t< sion of Mr. Field's argument, Mr. C. T. Botts, ? of California, of tbe counsel also for tho appel- . lant, obtained leave to file a brief in the case, j s. Justice Nelson delivered the opinion in the 1 o case of Mauro against the Alliance Insurance c Company. The company had insured the ship o Marenall for eight thousand dollars, not only b aga. nst the penis of the sea, but, as was stated ti in tne margin, against all seizures, or effect of v seizures. The Marshall having started on her vi voyage was captured in 1861 by a party of rebels tl within a few miles of New Orleans. tl The court held that there wa8 at that time f< a de facto government in the South, which o was defined to be a government in the posses- p sion of the sovereignty of a particular section tl of country, exercising some of the rights of in- fi dependent nations, snch as blockade, taking I and exchange of prisoners and the support of a armies. There was no more necessity that c there should be a recognized legal government n to justify seizures than a necessity to recog- n nizo tbe'seizure itself as lawful. The efforts to tl draw off eleven States from their allegiance to b this government, and the setting up of the so- p called Confederate States Government were il- 1 legal, the States still being constitutionally in fe the Union. 0 The court affirmed the judgment of the Cir- tl cuit Court of Massachusetts in favor of the t appellant. Chief Justice Chase and Associate c Justice S wayne dissented from the opinion, r Judge Nelson remarked that the principles an- f< nounceu and tho decision applied to several other insurance cases. The court in the Georgia injunction case*de? cided to hear the argument on motion for leave to file on the regular motion day, and not be? fore, as moved, and then only on behalf of the complainant. It was ordered that no argu? ment be heard after March 31st, except in cases in which argument had been previously com? menced. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. THE DEBATE IN THE ENGLISH HOUSE OF C03I MON3-MB. LEFEVHE'S SPEECH. The cable brings a lengthy report of Mr. Shaw Lefevre's speech in the English House of j Commons on the Alabama claims, delivered on last Friday evening, an abstract of which ap? peared in THE DAILY NEWS of yesterday. Mr. Lefevre's address, like that of all ?he speakers, was mild and conciliatory. He stated that the fall of Sumter, which initiated the civil war, occurred on the l?th of April. Two days after? ward President Lincoln issued his call for sev? enty-five thousand volunteers. The Confed? erate Government immediately called for thirty thousand men, and invited privateers to apply for letters of marque. He then proceeds to say: These facts reached England on tho 3d of May, and on the 4th they were published in the Times, although it was not till the 10th that an official copy reached the Foreign Office. On the 6th of May her Majesty's government mnonnced in this house that they should re jognize the South as belligerents, and on the 13th of May. as he had stated, the proclama? ron of neutrality was issued by the govern? ment. The actual blockade was enforced by the North along the coast by the end ot April; ind from that day forward there were in the jrize courts numerous cases of English vessels captured during the blockade, and of vessels >f the Southern States captured on the high seas. It was not until some time afterward ;hat the Southern Hag made its appearance. '.t waa the custom of the American Govern nent to talk as if all the vessels which carried he Confederate flag had their origin in this :oantry; but there were four cases of Confed? erate men-of-war or privateers which sailed a*om Southern ports before any one was built in this country. It waa not until the following ear that any complaint was made of a vessel teing built and equipped in our porte. In the ourse of the winter of 1861-62, the Confed rate Government Bent over to Enghnd a staff | f naval officers with instructions to buy or mild vessels of war, their main object being 0 embroil UB with the North. They also aised a considerable loan, out of the proceeds f which these vessels were to be paid for. Mr. Lefevre detailed the facts connected with be sailing of the Florida from England, which scaped through the connivance or negligence f the English officials, and notwithstanding be explicit warnings and information by ilin iter Adams. Respecting tho departure of the Jabama, be says : The Alabama got away by a strategem, under tie pretence of a trial trip without a clearance, nd with a party of ladies and music on board at not without great suspicion of treachery) ie cause of which, he believed, was freelv poken of in Liverpool. She went to Port ynas, near Beaumaris, where Bhe received art of her crew, and then sailed to the Azores, here she was met by another vessel, from hich Bhe obtained Lhe rest of her men and rmament. When it was discovered that she ad escaped, orders were sent to Queenstown ad Nassau to detain her; but she avoided lose ports, and when she put into a British ort in Jamaica, she was received as a properlv jmmissioned veasel-of-war. From that time > the end of her career she never fut into a anthem port; but ehe frequently received Dspitality, sometimes of a demonstrative cbar :ter, in British porte. She burnt nil her rizee, which ehe constantly decoyed by flying J ritich colors. Her crew was for the most part < nglish; some of her officers were English, and 1 ie wae paid for by money raised in England 1 1 the chance of the success of the South, [er function was not to fight, but to burn and ?stroy and run away. She waa a kind of fire rand, lighting the sea with bonfires of diff?r? ?t merchant vessels. The damage she did as enormous. The like of such an enterprise ad never before been known, and wae scarce possible until steam had given such a great Ivantage to such vesBel? over merchantmen, hich were of the most part sailing vessels, he name for that vessel, her cruise, uer hon? res, her English origin and connection he re retted; and the cheers of that boase he also igretted when an honorable member boasted ? his connection with her, and said he would ither be the builder of it than make the peeches which the honorable member for ochdale had made. All these bad entered i eep into tbe heart of the American people, t ad had done untold mischief in raising Ul- " ?eling between them and us. He supposed ?ere were few now who would not look upon Ll those who were connected with that ves ;1 as among the greatest malefactors of the je. Of Bix vesBelfl four escaped from English orts. The damage done by them was very reat. They captured or burned upward of vo hundred merchant vessels, with cargoes, lined at about ?3,000,000. A considerable ortion of that loss, however, fell upon Eng? en insurance companies. Another portion ill in the same way, owing to the enhance ient of the price of oil and other commodities estrcyed. But the damage to the Americans as not measured only by the loss of these assois; their commerce fled their flag; ?eights rose so high in consequence of the rate f insurance that their vessels could not get lem; large numbers of their vessels were sold, ither really or coliueively, to UB, to be regis jred under our flag. What they lost we shied. In two years the foreign commerce of merica, carried under their flag, fell to about ae-third of what it was before, while that un erour flag doubled. This, perhaps, not un aturally, raised a suspicion in the minds of | ie people in the North that the ship-builders ad ship-owners of Liverpool were not even isintcrested in the aid which they gave to the ave-owning South. Those only who had .aveiled in America since the war could, he slieved, appreciate the harm which had been one by the cases which he mentioned, or the ttent to which ill-feeling had been roused in ?at country. At the same time he did not iah to exaggerate or alarm, on this subject, ?r he did not think that war would ever arise nt of the matter. He believed that it was the seling and desire of most all classes in thia juntry and in America to see this question rought to a proper, amicable condusion, and ie only question was how that belt could be one, and what should be the conditions of the rbitration. He would next refer to the inan? er in which diplomacy had dealt with it. The rst matter was the recognition of the belhg rent rights ol the Southerners, and Mr. Adams rrived in this country, which they oiust all re ret he would shortly quit, on the very day the reclamation of neutrality was iisued. His rst task appears to have been tc communi ite with Lord Russell, and he expressed re ret that the British Government bad decided j issue that proclamation, which at once lised the insurgent States into belligerents. No sooner was it known that ibe Alabama ad escaped, and was burning American ves els. than Mr. Adams made a claim against ur government for compensation for thedam ge. He founded his claim on the remissness four government in permittingierescape, ut he said nothing of the question of recogni ion in connection with it. This was in No ember, 1863. Complaint was also made that e allowed this vessel to enter our ports, and bat we did not amend our laws when we found bern defective in October, 1863. Further in jrmation having been received of the number f vessels burned by the cruiaers, the corres ondence on that point waa resumed, and in be conree of that correspondence 31r. Adams, jr the first time, offered arbitration to the . tritish Government. But nothing waa aaid . bout the recognition of belligerent rights, the 1 omplaint being confined aolely to the remiss- ( ess of the government in not maintaining the j eatrality they professed, and in not putting f be foreign enlistment act in force, and there y preventing those vessels leaving British orts. On that occasion he did not find that ord Russell took notice of this offer of arbi ration. The noble Lord simply met the claim f Mr. Adams, and denied its justice. From bat time the claims lay dormant for nearly m years, and when they were renewed in the, ase'of the last vessel, the question of bellige ency was then for the first time brought jrward. Respecting the means of settling the dis? puted issues between the two nations, Mr. Le? fevre says : It was in the interest of peace and justice to establish important principles of international law. The ground on which the British Minis? ter rests his justification is substantially that the municipal law of a nation and the domestic interpretation of that law are the measure of its duty aa a neutral. And I feel bound to de j clare my opinion before you, and before the world, that that justification cannot be sus? tained before the tribunal of nations. He him? self, having a 6trong opinion on that point, had framed a morion early in the session of 18C6, after consulting with a few who thought as he did; and, having done so, he weat about to see how it would be met by other members of the House. He found that'if the discussion came on it would elicit so strong an expression of disapproval of arbitration that, after con? sultation with his friends, and especially with the honorable member from Bedford, he thought it better not to progress with it, feel? ing confident that the subject must come on again at some future time; and in the mean? time it was not wise to commit the House too strongly against it. If anything at that time seemed more improbable than even household suffrage, coming from a Conservative govern? ment, it was that they should offer arbitration for the settlement of the Alabama claims. He significantly adds : The hostility of certain parties in this coun? try to the Federal cause was due mainly to a dread of its institutions, and to an instinct that in the success of the North was involved the euccess of popular government. It was the homage paid to the force of American institu? tions. On the success of the North there fol? lowed an immediate necessity for an advance toward democracy here, and it was only right that it should be accompanied by a very dif? ferent tone toward America. He had no de? sire to taunt the honorable members with either one change or the other. He rejoiced in both. They were both equally beneficial to the country as to the honorable members op? posite; but it was right that, in estimating oar present position, we should bear this change in mind. Tilings in New Torie. THE FOREIGN NEWS-REPORTS FROM WASHING* TNGTON-BELMONT AND THE FRIENDS OF PENDLETON. * The New York correspondent of the Phila? delphia Ledger writes under date of the 7th instant: The great debate in the British House of Commons on the Alabama claims is attracting universal attention here. The friendly tone of the discussion is the subject of ranch congra? tulation, and the disposition on all sides is to accept it as an indication of a sincere desire on the part of Parliament to have the question satisfactorily adjusted and out of the way as soon as possible. There are more qualifica? tions in Lord Stanley's speech than are relish? ed, yet the feeling of Parliament and the peo? ple is so overwhelmingly on one side, as evi? denced in the speeches of Gladstone, Stuart, Mill and other leading minds, that it is believ? ed even he and the cabinet will eventually be brought over to their, if net exactly our way of thinking. Prominent Democratic politicians just from Washington, who have had frequent interviews with the President during the week, represent him as hopeful of defeating impeachment. He looks upon the whole business merely as a piece of partisan strategy on the part of Con? gress. He says it is necessary for them to get bim out of the way, in order to count in the Electoral votes of the ten Southern States in making the next President. In a certain con? tingency, he can foresee much trouble for them n that respect, with a President in office not :ommitted to their programme. Mr. Johnson las hopes that if New Hampshire reduces the Radical vote it will inure immensely to his ad rantage. lu regard to the succession, these gan tie? nen further assert that Mr. Johnson freely de ;lares it to be his intention to retire from pub? ic life at the end of his Presidential career. He Bays he has no aspirations for the Demo? ra tic nomination, but JP only anxious to serve lis country to the host of his ability, regard ess of personal consequences. If this gen? eration fails to do him justice, he behoves the ?ext will. The Pendleton men here are beginning to ;alk pretty plainly to Mr. Belmont and his rionds in Wall-street. They say the feeling at he West just now is Pendleton or nobody, they think, too, that Mr. Belmont has too deep ind direct a personal interest in the manage nent of the business of the foreign bondhold? ers to be a safe mannger-in-chief of the Demo-; ?ratio National Committee at this crisis. An effort, therefore, will be made to induce him to ! .esign ; but as there is another powerful inter est at work within the party to keep him just There he is, to resist the financial vagaries of he Western Democracy, it remains to be Been That will come of it. There is much more under these move nents, shaping the course of future events, han is apparent on the surface, and your ?orrespondent maies record of them accord ngly. _jjjgffi_ BORNEMANN-HERN H OLM.-On Thursday eve ung, March 5th, at the residence of the bride's pa ?ents bv the Rev.

The petition alluded to was a petition of thc most e ninont physicians of Charleston, and was not even tipted by myself. It was formally presented by a g mtleman of the medical profession, who was so? le ?ted by the petitioners. The petition was also re? ce mmended and signed by the commanding general. I was well aware that it would be rejected, as the chairman of the committee to whom it was referred hid expressed himself as opposed to it, on the gi ound that it was signed by General Canby; but I was not prepared to believe that that committee i ould be guilty of such a gross misrepresentation. I therefore demand of them a publication of that petition, and of the signatures attached toit, asl I ave in my possession a certified copy of the report ct that committee on the petition, which is a gross misrepresentation.

OS- MENTAL DEPRESSION_MENTAL depression ls a disease of the nervous system, and of all the uls flesh is heir heir to, it is the one that excites the leaat sympathy, lt is a subject of fre? quent jests, and is called by various derisive terms ; but, although it is often laughed at, it ls not easy to laugh the patient out of the belief that his ills are aU j real, for it is a real disorder-the general features of which are constant fear, anxiety and gloom. The external senses, as well as the mental faculties, often manifest symptoms of derangement. Noise, as of | falling water, and ringing in the ears are complained of, whJe black specks and fiery sparks frequently flit before the vision. Admonitions like these should not be disregarded, as they may, if neglected, termi? nate in insanity. The seat of the disease ls in the brain and nervous system, and to control the malady it is necessary to use a powerful tonic and alterative, which will correct and tone those organs without in? flaming the brain. This is the secret of the success of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS itt cases of j this kind, for which it is the safest as well as the best of restoratives. In fact it is the only pure and reliable tonic stimu? lant known. Many nostrums, purporting to be tonics, are puffed up from time to time in the news? papers, but the sufferer had better let them alone. HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS has proven It? self, by many years of trial, to be in every respect what it is represented to be.
