TION OF THE BONDS-THE VOTE, 4C. [FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.] COLUMBIA, August 3_The Legislature to? day has again given evidence of the ease with which a few men outside of tae body can move the majority in it. Not "Whipper with all his bold eloquence, Bozeman with his shrewdness, or Bansier with his adroit 'ss, could make an impression. The bill redi ng the bonds of officials pissed the House; the Treasurer, who eras chiefly the cause ol antagonism, triumph? ed, and before these Unes reach your readera, " the bill will probably become a law. The de? bate was characteristic. It elicited, on the ane hand, the views of those who consider the ivelfare of the State as at least equal to the benefits that may accrue to their party; and, jnthe other, brought ont from Jackson, who belongs par exceUence to tho travelling com? munity, the admission that he was too good a Republican to leave one of his comrades in the lurch, no matter how much public credit, "or any other man," might be impaired. R- C. DeLarge also signalized himself as the organ of the (Dommittee of Ways and Means, by reporting adversely upon the proposition of Joe Crews, of Laurens, to tax the people of Kershaw District, five hundred dollars annual? ly, for the support ot the widow of S. G. W. Dill DeLarge sustained the views of the committee in a brief but able speech, in which he must have satisfied the extremists, of which Crewe is the moBt perfect type, that they can day hereafter hope for nothing from a large and re? spectable portion of the colored members. Before the adoption of the report, DeLarge said, the committee believe that the levy of a special tax, for a specialTrarpOBe, was calcula? ted to destroy the confidence of the people in the finances o? the State ; consequently while anxious that some relief should be extended to Mrs. Pill, they could not conscientiously report in favor of the proposition made. It was also in conflict with a section of the consti? tution, which provides that "all taxes shall be equal and uniform, and that prior to the levy of - any tax, an assessment shall be levied upon the property; also, that the tax levied shall be general. There was, therefore, quite as much propriety in taxing the county in behalf of | the colored man who was killed at the same time, as in taxing it for the benefit of Mrs. Dill alone. White- Mr. Dill was a member or the Republican party, this measure ought not to be passed simply because he was such. What? ever politics might have to do with sympathy in this matter, sympathy ought not to run away with law, and insist on the imposition of j a special tax, for a special purpose, when the end aimed at could be attained by a more con? stitutional method. The report of the committee was then adopt? ed, and the consideration of the bill was indefi? nitely postponed. The next matter of general interest was the discussion of the amendment proposed on Sat? urday by Dr. Boseman to the bill reducing the bonds of officials, namely, to strike out 140,000 and insert $90,000, the present amount. W. J. Whipper said that while it would be agreeable to him not to say one word on this subject, silence was criminal. He was willing to allow the matter to remain where it was left on Saturday, but since that time there had been certain manoeuvres, of which he most heartily disapproved. He alluded to the thrusting of the subject into a caucus conven? ed for a different purpose, and endeavors made to warp the judgments of men by appeals to passion, prejudice and party feeling. This entire movement was calculated to de? preciate th? credit of the State. If successful, such a result could not be helped, for it would be consummated for no other purpose than to place in position a man who had shown him? self utterly unworthy of it, and never would possesB the confidence which should attach to the person of the Treasurer of South Carolina. Whatever might be the result, he desired to have entered upon the permanent record of these proceedings, so that the country might read and remember why he favored the amend? ment, four reasons. These were (using Whipper's own language): 1. Because I believe it will materially injure the credit of the State. 2. Because it is done for the purpose of placing the treasury fund in the hands of a man who has shown himself utterly unworthy of it by offering straw bonds, or bonds known to be insufficient, and of whom it is'currently reported that he has promised to use the bills receivable in the treasury to secure any man who will go on his bond. 8. Because I.believe that, under any circum? stances it must impair the credit of the State to reduce the bonds of the treasurer, especially when the officer is of either doubtful character or doubtful honesty, 4. Because undue and highly improper means nave been resorted to by men who, deeming then: individual interest paramount to the interest of the State, have played upon the credulity of the body, and induced them to vote against their better judgment. Whipper was followed by Ransier and Dr. Boseman, both of whom spoke in the same vein as that described in Monday's paper. Rev. B. F. Jackson (white) andW. J. McKin? lay spoke in opposition to the amendment. The .former made the frank admission : "I am here as a Republican, and am determined, under all j ir corns tan ces, to stand by Republican officers. I am not controlled in my voting by anything the rebels may say, or opinions that may be advanced by their friends here." Whether this was the result of charges made tbat he was about to become a Democrat or not, I am una? ble lo say; but if so, the-'unction with which he re-embraced the faith was enjoyable. . J. H. Jenks, from a plain, business-like stand? point, sustained the amendment, and argued strongly as to the importance of sustaining the .credit of the State. He closed by calling for the yeas ard nays, which were ordered, and being taken resulted as follows : Yeas 25; nays 67. So the motion to amend by increasing the bond from $40,000 to its present amount, $90, 000, was lost. The following is the vote : Yeas.-Representatives Boseman, Jos. Bos? ton, Bullock, Bryant, E. J. Cain, Doyle, De Mars, Ezekiel, Jenks, B. James, G. Lee, Moore, Mays, Mead, O'Connell, Ransier, Sloan, Stewart, Stubbs, Smalls, R. M. Smith, Shrewsberry, Tomlinson, Wilson and Whipper-25. Nays.-Brown, John Boston, Bishop, Law? rence Cain, Cooke, Collins, Chestnut, Crews, Dusenberry, Dnffle, Duvall, Elliott, Farr, Grav, Gaidner, Grant, Goodson, Hayes. Charles D. Hayne, James N. Hayne, Humphries, Holh man, Henderson, Harris, Hyde, D. J. J. John? son, Henry Johnson. Samuel Johnson, Griffin Johnson, Jackson, Jacobs, Henry James, Jer vey. Kuh, Samuel J. Lee, Lang, Mayer, W. J. McKinlay, Mickey, McIntyre, McDaniels, Mob ley, Milford, Martin, Miller, Nelson, Nash, Nuckles,Purvis, Prendegrass, Pettengih, Rich? ardson, Root, Rush, Rivers, Stoeber, Stoibrand, Saunders, Smythe, Sasportas, Simons, Scott, Benj. A. Thompson, Samuel B. Thompson, Wil? der, White and Wright-67. A. J. Ransier offered an amendment increas? ing the sum of $40,000 to $60,000, but it was lost. W. J. Whipper then offered the following as the 4th section of the bill, but on taking the vote, it too was lost by a large majority, signifying plainly that the party aie sacrific? ing tue State to men, and not men to the State: Be it enacted. That any one who signs the official bond of any officer when the actual value of his estate is not worth the amount of the surety he assumes after the reduction of all personal liability, and the $1500 exempt by the constitution, upon conviction of the same before the proper tribunal, shall be sen? tenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term not less than twelve months, nor more than two years. The session will probably continue forty days longer. It will require a week or two to pass the Militia bill alone-a document that will cover sixty or seventy pages. I understand that the plan involves the organization of a national guard twelve hundred strong. PERSONNE. THE TBOTJBLBS TN TENNESSE.-A dispatch of August 1, from Nashville, says: Generals Cheatham, Manny and Bushrod Johnson sought and obtained an interview to-day with the Military Committee of tho Legislature. The conference lasted two hours, and was cordial and satisfactory to both sides. The ex-Confederate generals expressed a most decided hostility to the programme of forcible resistance to the State government inaugura? ted by the Conservatives and rebel politicians, who are urging the people to reiist the consti ted authorities, characterizing them as citi? zens in war and generals in peace. They pledged themselves to go through tho State, if necessary, and use their personal influence to promote peace and put au end to the opera? tions of the Ku-Klux. General Cheatham spoke with deep feeling, saying that he kept the parole which he gave when he surrendered al? ways about bis person, and felt that he was in honor bound to yield quiet and honest obe? dience to the laws. There will be a conven? tion m this city to-morrow of thirteen general officers of the late Confederate army to take into consideration what they can do to pre? serve the peace of the State. J NEWS PROM WASHINGTON. THE MOST IMPUDENT PIO POSITION-GEORGIA, MARYLAND, SEKTCOEZ, VXSSO?BI AND DELA? WARE TO BE IGNORED TN COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE-THE B?DI0AL8 CONTEMPLATE WAR. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette writes: Decidedly the mist inpudent proposition which ever emanated evei from the Radical dictators is that looking to a transfer of the power to elect Presidential electors to the bo Eis Legislatures of the Southern States. I nted the other day that me Jacobins bad de? spaired of carrying the ^reconstructed" States even by the votes of their own chosen dupes. Simultaneously, however, with this new and shameless dodge intelligence, comes that the so-called Legislature of Georgia has repudia? ted tho dastardly wretch, Joe Brown, and the indicted felon, Blodgett. Another change of tactics in that State is, therefore, now neces? sary, and it has been suggested that Georgia, together with Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and Delaware be ignored in the count by the House, the latter four States not having squared their electoral votes with the re? quirements of the "fourteenth article." The excellent letter of General Blair is held up as a' scare-crow to hide the revolutionary purposes of the! Jacobins. A blind man nay see to what point things are tending. The Radicals do not intend to be beaten without plunging the-country into war. They are the real au? thors of the recent war, and are determined to maintain their power at all h a zar is. In this view it becomes the reople of this country to scan "the situation in earnest. The regular army is under, the command of Grant, the candidate of ?he Radicale. A wide-. spread secret military organizaton, under the command of Logan, called "Thc League," has its headquarters here in Washington. The negroes are being armed, under rab-command? ers at the South, and orders xe being daily issued by the cabal, of which Sehe nek is the head, at the~"National Capital."plainly con templating the use of force in thrusting Grant into the Presidential office.' "Forewarned" should lead to being "forearmed!" lithe peo? ple expect their voice in the November election to be heard ?nd regarded at all, they must be prepared to enforce it If they show anything ? like tbe white feather, nothing can save the nation from revolution, anarchy and blood? shed. The Radicals have no longer a hope of fairly electing their ticket. '.They are looking solely to revolution to effect their purposes. THE CHOICE OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS IN THE SOUTH-ANTICIPATED TROUBLE. A Washing dispatch to the New York Herald says: The project of choosing the Presidential electors in the South by the legislatures of the newly reconstructed Slates is causing no little alarm in tho official circlet of Washing? ton. Should tho Radicals in those States, in their desperate effort to hold on to the reins of power, really adopt this plan of cheating the popular will, even though in a strictly legal sense it be constitutional, it is feared that the people of these States, and also of many in the North and West, would not quiet? ly submit to be ruled over by a Eadical Presi? dent thus elected in antagonism to the popu? lar will. However this may rb?, it is certain that a deep feeling of indignation prevails here at the idea that such a plan as that now proposed by the Radicals should be really en? tertained. BETTING ON THE PRESIDES CT. The Kew York correspondent of the Cincin? nati Enquirer says: The Tribune the other day stated that ten thousand dollars were on deposit at the St. Nicholas to be bet on behalf.of Grant's elec? tion. Yesterday John Morrissey stepped in and offered to cover it. He was told that no such money for such a purpose was there, or ever had been. All reports ahfU* John's read? iness to bub ou ?I nu t. ar? tHDnoationfl. rn the first place, he never bets against his party; in the second place, he offers to bet even on Sey? mour and Blair any day between this and elec? tion. Morrissey is a queer, and, in some re? spects, a great man. Some time soon I will give you a letter all atout him of facts not gen? erally known. His facility for naming the winning horse, the winning card, the winning man. amounts to a certainty. No .odds can be had here on the Radical candidates. Betting ?B even with plenty of Democratic takers. GRANT'S PAPOOSE. Mies Anna Dickinson-sound Republican au? thority-declares that General Grant's "Indian baby record in California" is far more "infa? mous" than his whiskey record. The Indians have been in tho habit of calling the President of the United States their "Great Father." It seems that some of them can call the Radical candidate for the Presidency their "Great Father" even though he has not a shadow of a chance of election. For shame, Miss Anna, you make us blush. NEWS FROM LIBERIA.-Letters from Liberia to the llth of June have been received. These stale that the largs company of emi? grants which left Charleston, S. C., last No? vember, were generally enjoying good health, and were doing well. The season has been favorable to gardening and farming. Vegetables have been abun? dant, and the prospects of the rice and other crops were very good. Ten thousand pounds of coffee and two hundred thousand pounds of sugar were produced in Mesurado County in 1867. The commercial marine of the Republic is stated to have greatly increased within the last three years. There are now forty-seven ves? sels of various sizes, ond^hc Liberian mer? chants owning them aru believed to be fully able to supply tho nativo market along that por? tion of the West African coast. A .foreign steamer stops at Cape Palmos on an average of once a week. The Rev. John Seys, D. D., tho Minister Resi? dent and Consul-General of tho United States to Liberia, lately arrived in this country on a visit to his family. It is his intention to return to his position in the fall. DEPARTURE OF HON. REVERDY JOHNSON.-The Hon. Reverdy Johnson, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the govern? ment of Great Britain, sailed from this port on Saturday, in the steamship Baltimore, of the Baltimore and Bremen Line, for South? ampton, England. Over three hundred of his fellow-citizens and personal friends, including many ladies, accompanied our distinguished townsman down the river, returning by the steamer Chesapeake, which had been engaged for the convenience of tbe occasion. The pro? ceedings on board the Baltimore were of a very interesting character. Mr. Johnson, in his farewell remarks, expressed thebelief that he was on a mission of peace, and that a firm and enduring peace witb the British Govern? ment would be the result if he was able to carry out the spirit of his instructions. Baron Von Gerolt, the Prussian minister at Washing? ton, in response to a complimentary sentiment offered by Mr. Johnson, expressed the firm friendship of hie government for the American people. An eloquent parang address was made by ex-Governor Bradford. The ovation to Mr. Johnson on his departure was quite un? precedented. No foreign minister ever left our shores with the same eclat, or whose ap? pointment inspired the same confidence throughout the country in his ability and fit? ness for bis prominent mission at an impor? tant crisis in the relations between the iwo countries, and the same buoyant hopes of its successful result. This manifestation of tbe respect and good wishes of bis fellow-citizens and friends, so enthusiastically exhibited on the occasion of Saturday, cannot fail to be a source of gratification to its distinguished re? cipient, and must, indeed, have its significance even on the other side of the water. Mr. Johnson is accompanied to Europe by Mrs. Johnson and his son, the Secretary of Lega? tion, Edward Johnson.-Ballimore Sun.

Prepared by Hege? rn an & Co., New York, and sold oval] respect? able druggists, in the United States, THE FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. The following ie Fannie Jone's Fashion Budget for August: Summer was so long coming that everybody had concluded we should have none at all, and expecting to j gave much money in summer trips and extra summer clothing in conse? quence. But lol when it did come, it came with mighty power-it came with ao intensity of heat that set people to wondering if the day of judgment had really arrived. LIKEN DRESSES. The sudden boat created an immense de? mand for linen suits for ladies, which one en? terprising firm turned to account by making in large quantities at the moderate price of ten and twelve dollars the complete suit. Un? bleached linen, as an article of summer wear, has really been appreciated this season for the first time. It is cheap (only twenty-five cent s per yard), durable, washes easily and makes a delightfully cool suit for warm weather, which is not spoiled by perspiration, a Budden shower or any other of the incidentals usual during the heated term. It is a jolly sort of a dress-I beg pardon of the fastidious, but re? ally there is no other word for it-and imparts a little of the freedom and independence which men enjoy with their dress, particularly if it has been worn once or twice, and is not quite immaculate as it was at first. To be sure, there are people who would destroy the comfort of anything, and even destroy the comfort oT"a linen dress by loading it with frills and furbe? lows and elaborate trimmings which make it a terror to the wash-tub, but such people don't deserve anything but the trouble they make for themselves, and I, for one, don't pity them one bit. A linen dress to be a comfort should be made as simply as possible; no more trim? ming upon them than a man's coat, and cut with as little superfluous use of mate? rial. Linen dresses should have only one skirt, and this should be partially gored and made somewhat longer than the ordinary walking dress. The short dress in linen gored plain is too restricted and bad to wash-the moderato additional length is easily taken by three narrow strips suspended from the waist and buttoned to the skirt. A short-straight plain sac and a white linen waist worn under? neath, completes the costume. Made at home these dresses could be finished complete,white linen waist, buttons and all, for five dollars the suit, so that two or three of them a season could hardly ruin anybody, but unfortunately too few go to work even in so small a matter in the right way. There are women, modern la? dies, who consider it beneath them to econo? mize or even count the cost of a linen dress they would not touch a material for twenty-five cents at all; they will order it from their dress? maker and pay seventy-five cents for it and twenty-five dollare for the making, and tho few yards of frilling and trimming rendering it as ?os?y as a dress composed of a richer ma? terial, and disgusting our fine lady, who de? clares she cannot imagine what people eee in linen dresses; that for her part she finds them as expensive as any other, and somuoh trouble to wash. , A BRIGHT IDEA. The same firm that got up the popular linen suita developed another bright idea, and that was pretty well made, well gored and well cut morning wrappers at a very moderate price-a price that paid well too-four to six dollars and a half; the latter price for linen and cambric. There was nothing remarkable about them, but they were a good shape and neatly made and trimmed, with a bordering stitched" on. So difficult, however, ia it to obtain anything ready-made at a sum approximating somewhere near the cost of material and labor, that these simple wrappers created quite a furore, the sales averaging sixty per day. Thia single fact speaks volumes in favor of a popular ready-made clothing system for women and children; something like that which has been reduced to a science for men. At present women are at the mercy of high-priced stores and dressmakers-their means and earnings at the same time averaging not more than half those of men. WHITE HANDS. TVtiV.ata honda have alwayn bean tho thoma of praise of poets and lovers, and there is a charm about them one must admit ; still the mere charm of whiteness and softness is en? tirely secondary, in my opinion, to the still greater charm of use. I like best to see a hand slender and delicate enough not to offend a critical tast j, but also not afraid of freedom and impulse. A kind band, a willing hand, a capable hind, as well aa a soft and rfhite hand. But it :s the softness and whiteness that are. the chief objeot of attainment, and various are the means, diligently and perse? veringly tried by fashionable belles, to achieve the most desirable result. Now it is not an easy matter for a healthy girl to obtain a uni? formly white hand if the blood flows actively, and in swift correct % It will sometimes rush lo the cheeks and sometimes to the hands, and gen? erally itdoes thisjust when it ia not wanted, cov? ering the poor ?ubject of its vagaries with still more vivid blushes of shame andmort?ficatlon. Why girls should be mortified at a flush which simply shows youth and health, it is hard to say; but they are so. and it may be because fashion has decreed impassiveness of appear? ance and maimer as the most desirable of vir? tues, and voted even the natural circulation of the blood common and vulgar. It is a medical fact that the delicacy of appearance common to most American girls is owing to their seden? tary habits, the want of Activity in the circula? tion of the blood and the incipient liver com? plaint: which afterwards changes them into Sremature old women. When their youth hos eparted they know that they could very well have afforded a little of the health which pro? duces permanent beauty at the expense of their sickly delicacy. But who can make them believe it now? This paragraph was not intended for a sermon, however, but simply as an introduction to the ugants gras," greasy gloves, truly, which are the latest French invention for whiten? ing the hands. The gants gras consist of rather large-sized light kid gloves, which are covered upon the inside with a greasy, bleaching preparation. The pomade is very choico and sold at five dollars a small pot, which accounts for the price of the gloves, five dollars per pair, bnt in my opinion cold cream and an old pair of light kid gloves, coating ori? ginally two dollars, would be equally efficaci? ous. For my own part. I cannot imagine how people can persuade themselves to endure so much to achieve ao little. Ho amount of white? ness would induce me to incase my hands in kid gloves at night; I cannot even do it during the warm weather in the day time. I make the concession to society by carrying two pairs in my pocket and then enjoy my freedom with a clear conscience.

TIGHT LACING. People who imagine that the world haa mov? ed iu any particular direction aro astonished every once in a while to find by a development of facts that the fools are alive in as large numbers as ever, and that the world after all stands pretty much where it did years ago. Periodicals in this country have been surprised to find English journals of respectability and influence defending the theory and practice of tight lacing, supported moreover by the apparently eager testimony of the larger part of their constituency. Confident that Ameri? can civilization had progressed beyond the stage of European barbarism, they have confi? dently declared that no school in the country would be toleratad where unnatural compres? sion of the body was made part of the regular system. But they were wrong. There aie auch schools, and the moat cruel, the most rigid, and most exacting of all is not located in New York or any of the large cities, but it ia in a progressive town in the progress? ive State of Ohio. At this school the young ladies on entering are not only encased in a corset, which is an absolute vice, but they are forced to wear shoes with heels four inches high, and which are DO broader than a shilling, it is with the greatest clifliculty that girls can stand upright in these shoe9 at first, but they are compelled to walk two miles in thom overy day and in a lane near the house until they have acquired the faculty of walking on them with ease. After this frightful exaggeration, the French heel, which two and a half or three inches high, seems moderate by comparison, and the pressure being forced wholly upon the front of the foot, the young ladies are compelled to walk in the acknowledged style of elegance, upon their toes. The largest corset which, it is said, was ever used in the establishment, was one measuring eeventesn inches round the waist. This was upon a very fat girl, and was brought together three days after her entrance, and kept upon her n'ght and day for four weeks. She fainted away, it was stated, every once in a while at first, but her health waa not penna nently impaired by it. The corset, it should be added, is fastened in such a way at the back, where it is brought together, that the subject cannot herself loosen it. This seems almost too monstrous for belief, but if the statement of one who has experienced the torture is to-be believed, it is true. WATERING-PLACE COSTUMES. These should have composed the staple in? stead of the winding up of this letter, but after ail there is not much to say of them that has not been said; the real truth is, that excepting the brides, who are always fresh and new, crimp and pretty, ladies at the watering-places this year look very much as if they were wearing ont their old clothes. Occasionally one sees an elegant white morning dress and sometimes an elaborate evening toilette, but ordinarily bright little jackets are worn over some faded skirt, and the evening dresses are the relics of | last winter's campaign, refreshed a little by. flowers or lace, or gayer ribbons. The pret? tiest dresses by br are the full robes ot fine white muslin, flounced, and worn over dresses of colored or bright colored silks. The silk is generally gored plain; the muslin is tied up in a huge pout behind, with a wide silk or ribbon sash, the shade of the dress. Of course there are the usual number of col? ored silks and dowager moire antiques worq, with lace shawls, but these are sta? ple and require no particular mention. There is one stylo, however, which is a novelty, and' very beautiful-these are the white dress embroidered in variegated colors. The "Jardiniere" dresses are generally made with plain skirts and open "angel" sleeves, and re? quire very little trimmings. The little Marie Antoinettefichu in lace or en suite with the dress has taken the place almost altogether of black silk summer cloaks. There are ?Iso a variety of little capes made en suite, with the pretty pink? ed muslins and light clothes which form com? plete costumes as tasteful, yet as economical as can be desired. NEW CHIGNONS. ' There is not the least indication of an en? largement of the bonnets-the hair is worn higher, the chignon larger than ever. The lat? est style of chignons are composed of large hol? low plaits or puns, and though immense in size, are fight upon the head. The side curl, still in vogue, is large in proportion. .

In place of a coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had a soft ruby cou plexion of almost marble smooth? ness, and instead twenty-three she really appeared but eighteen. Upon Inquiry as to the cause of so great a change, she plainly told them that she used the CIRCASSIAN BALM, and considered it an in? valuable acquisition to any lady's toilet. By its use any Lady or Gentlemen can improve their personal appearance an hundredfold. It is simple in its combination, as Nature herself is simple, yet unsur posted in its efficacy in drawing impurities front, also healing, cleansing and beautifying the skin and complexi?n. By its direct action on the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities, kindly healing thc fame, and leaving the surface as Nature intended i should be-clear, soft, smooth and beautiful.

March 30_lyr 93" SWINGING ROUND THE CIRCLE. There ore fifty ways of alleviating the agonies of dyspepsia for the moment; but there is only one way to CUBE it After "swinging round the circle" of tem? porary palliatives thc patient finds that the disease, so far from being subdued, has actually gathered strength, while he has been parleying with its sym tOCQB. The only way to get rid of the demon is to endow the stomach with sufficient strength to cast it out and keep it out. Impart permanent energy to the di? gestive organs with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS, and the object is accomplished. This power? ful vegetable remedy is not a mere stimulant It does not brace up the gastric machinery for an hour or two, leaving it, when the temporary excitement has passed off, in a worse state than bef jre. Such is the effect of the ordinary alcoholic nostrums. They keep the stomach in o perpetual see-saw between un? natural activity and utter relaxation. Not so the BITTERS. Medicated with the finest tonic, altera Uve and anti-bilious extracts, they permanently re? nforce and continuously regulate the assimilating organs. Such is the experience of tens of thousands. At this debilitating season of the year, when the sol? vent principle of the gastric juice is weakened by a constant drain of the animal fluids through the pores HOSTETTER'S BITTERS is an article of prime ne? cessity for the weak. To neglect the use of a tonic and alterative, so wonderfully efficacious and entirely harmless, is simply to forego the blessings of health and vigor, and voluntarily accept feebleness and die comfort in their stead.
