The Bill on Public Education TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. The bill lately passed in tho Senate of tho State of South Carolina, on public education, is now before the Legislature, and it is to bc hoped that the Legislature will amend it so as to render it effective lor tho promotion of both mental and physical education. Thc prominont feature of that bill, as pass? ed in the Senate, is to secure a good salary to the superintendent of education and his county commissioners, but no action is taken to ad? vance education. It establishes a board of ex? aminers, composed ot' the Superintendent, the Secretary and the Auditor of the State, having charge of "giving certificates of quali? fication for teaching in tho schools to all per? sons who pass a satisfactory examination." This, according to us, is not satisfactory. Fer where is the programme for that exam? ination ? What proves that those threo officere are, or will bo in the future, competent to perform tho important duties of examiners ? Why compel teachers from every part of the State to go to Columbia to pass their examina? tion? In every State where public schools aro in existence, there is a normal school where per? sons are trained to teach In common schools. It was so in this State before the war. If our legislators intend to dispense with a normal school, at least they munt take measures for securing good teachers; otherwise the intended reforms will never take place, aiiu abuses will be more fia?rant than ever. Public schools are supported by public money, and the public is entitled to know how teachers are appointed and remuneiatcd. Why, then, not proscribe that tho examination of teachers snail bo made publicly, as is done with the doctors and lawyers. This should be done for every branch of education. The pub he would be satisfied that merit, and merit alone, only presides at the appointments of teachers, now that it hos turned fashionable to be a teacher. Nepotism, favoritism and po? litical influence must be excluded from public schools. Teachers must bo appointed and paid according to their own merita and quali? fications. But at any rate thoir salaries must be sufficient for their own support; otherwise tho profession will be confined to a class of per? sons who have other means for their living. This would be creating a monopoly for the bcDeflt of persons in good circumstanced. If ladies are entitled to be teachers, this must not be to the exoluaion of gentlemen. But where is the gentleman who will be wi liing to teach in public schools, if he cannot make bis living by it; when bis salary is not equal to bair of the wages of the lowest laborer, whose habits and living are not expensive ? In the said bill not a word is said about the physical education of the children. Will the superintendent and his commissioners ever think of the development of youth, both in body and mind ? Will they look for the devel? oped muscles and vigorous frame of tho body, as the precursor of support and actual aid to a well balanced intellect ? Will they prepare the young girls for future wives and mothers, and tho boys for muscular and well developed young men"? Mens sana incorpore sano IB an axiom which has hitherto been ienored, especially in the coramon schools of this country. Too often the intellect is stimulated at the expenso of the body. Modern physiology teaches us that every intellectual effort, every emotion of the heart, depends for its perfect" bea Ithfulness upon the minutest parts of our physical frame. Thia is true especially for what is termed the nervous system. If put out of order by over-stimulat? ing it at school, soon tho frame of fe child gobs wrong, and see tbe consequences. Tho child, if eacer to learn, becomes tho favorite of the teacher, who stimulates him to wm tho prize at the examination; his parents, ignorant of tho physical laws, allow him to stndy till late hours. They are proud lo see tbc name of the child in tho local papers as having gained the prize of his class. When tho < Ulla anau-e Tim Oat lUOUgUt 'IS inn. ol lils mornins prayer, but of his lessoos. He swal? lows his breakfast, and off to school runs tho poor victim, half tired and weak from sleep dis? turbed by dreams of lessons, lost and eained. There tho children are crowded in large build? ings generally not snfficiently ventilated; tho forenoon is spent ?nan atmosphere entiroly un? fit for human beings to live in; alternately ex? posed to a stifling heat or chilled by open windows raised from rime to time, in order that teachers ami pupila mistit momentarily breath with comfort. How do they spend the short r?ceseos allowed to them? Po we find in our common schools any gymnasium or exercises conducive to tho development of tho body, aa is done in Europe? The Grecian and Roman Republics were more wise than ia the modern Republic of America. There sniklren were compelled, not only to learn how to read and write, as provides our bill on education, but girls and bovs had to appear in the Agora and partake of bodily ex? ercises. Let tie pei fon et that common schools are attended by children of good families, and there ore many in that category now a days who cannot afford to supply their children with the implements required for the phvsical edu? cation of their childioD. Upon the State there i*io?umb ?at tho duty to provide for them, if the new order of things is true to the mission it proclaims to have to protect and advance the the matter. L. DuBos. Charleston, March 4,1869. Salt as a Fertiliser. TO 'THE EDITOR OF TBE NEWS. Sonre time ago, when in England, I was passing t?-rrough Lancashire,and noticing all the fields to be white, as if covered with a boar frost, I inquired what it was, and-was informed that it was common salt, which the farmers used as their most important -fertilizer. In travelling m tho interior of Pennsylvania I perceived the-eame thing, and waa 'hore also informed that - the article produced the most beneficial results. I desire to suggest the use of this article to our farmers in the interior, where marsh mud is not obtainable, and tbe fields suffer from drought Salt has a remarkable ?fleet in re? taining moisture, and even ia that respect alone is very valuable, as in a great measure it prevent? the parching of the ground by the intense heat of the summer sun. The best quantity to be put upon land in the interior is about one sack per acre,-and, in fact, from close Observation I consider a. com? bination of fertilizers will produce fifty per cent, more peranre than any one kind used alone. The best sorts and proportions for-or? dinary land I consider to bo about, guano otto hundred and fifty pounds, poudrette two hun? dred and fifty pounds, land plaster one hundred pounds, and tait two hundred and twenty pounds; in all. seven hundred and twenty (mounds of fertilizer? per aore. costing about H3. This, with good .cultivation and an ordi? nary season, should give six hundred pounds of cotton; in fact, there Us no reason why any land cannot be made to produce two bales per acre. I hope soon to seo the artic'o of salt duly appreciated by our Carmecs, ana take its placo.among our regular fertilizers. FARMER.

A WILLING WITNESS. Thc Libel of thc Governor of South Caro? lina upon ibo People of South Caro Wo make some oxtrccts from the sworn tes? timony of Governor Scott in tho Third Con? gressional District contested election case. In reply to a question by S. L. Hago, Gover? nor Scott Baye: I om Governor R. J? Scott, Governor of thc 6tate-was so in July, Angus', September, October and November, 1SG8-inaugurated 9th July, 18C8, and have beeu Governor up to tho present time. During that time ihe political cuuditiou of Newberry, Abbeville, Anderdon and Lrd,reuold was ono of great excitnmcut. The laws could not be enforced, and wero not enforced in these counties. Thc obstruc? tion of law came from tho fact th it political organi? zations Fol at defiance the offlccis of the law. The organizations were the Republican and Democratic parties. The Democratic organization w sar?yed against tho law. I received the infoiinition as Gov? ernor ti.at tho Democratic party was organized for the purpose of preventing thc officers of tbe law from enforcing the law against any ot thJr partisans, sud for thc purpose of controlling* tho elect ons to luke place on the 3d November, in tho interest uf that party alone. These political organizations armed j themselves in order to carry out the objects and purposes of their organization I was informed bv men who claimed to belong to Democratic dabs that they were providing themselves with sixteen shooters and Winch? ?ter rifles, with the declared purpose of finit controlling thc election by seeping the negroes away from the polls, and ir resistance was mide they would shoot tho negroes down, and thereby pre? vent the more timid from attending at all. Thev did with my knowledge bring into the State the Winchester rifles in accoidinco with these decorations. Th ro was no election for Con? gress in Edgcflcld County, Third Congressional District. '1 he reason why ls this: The la.v made it my duty to appoint Uiie- commissioners of election in ?ach couuiy ; two of these I fiist appoint? ed were nh te men and one a colored man, of that county. The white men objected to serve because that particular colore J man was a member of thu board. I accordingly appointed three other commis? sioners, one of whom was a Air. Hojt, a mcmb >r of J the present House of Representativo*. Ue roplied tome that it was impossible for the board to serve because it required all of his time to save his Ufe. That he bad been shot at twice in his own residence, had escaped from his house under cover 01 darkness, sad was then writing to mo irom his place of concealment in the swamp. It waa too late then to appoint any uihor cummicsion-.| era ol election, as the law required a no ice of twenty days before an election could bc held The general condition of political affairs in that ccu n ty,ss far as the Bepublican party was eoucerned. as regards their safety, I can only stare my opinion,based upon reports of citizens living in the county. (Ur. i'ope objected to the opinion based upon such informa? tion ) I think there was scarcely a mail received in the Executive Department during the months of Septer-bcr, October and November, 186S, that I did not get one or more letters, lepcrting tho murder of citiaons of the county, and claimed in th-se letters to be murdered in consequence of their political opinion, or other outragos committed un them, and begging of me io seud a military force to tho county to cive protection against lawless men. Q.-What was the condition in Abbeville aa to out? races; also, of Newberry? a.-The same a= in Edgefleld. In Abbeville Coun? ty I have report - on file cf nineteen murders. Tbu-e murders were abo committed before thc November elections. Judging from the former election in A ril, and making due allowances for natural cha- g-'s and influences that might legitimately have been brought to bear,and Judging furthermore by the Ftati-menls of men from tho county of both political par iee, it ls my opinion that the Itepubll^ans would have earned tho county by 1800 or 2000 v- tes. I mean by RepuK'&n, Uogc's majority tor Congress. As to Newberry t'ouaty, in a fair election, I eau only Judged itfiomthc simo information I had auto Abbeville. Tho majority in Newberry cauld have beau from ten to twelve hundred, e%me asf>rtne Lejris'aturo. Tho violenre in Newborry was not to tho Eime extent as in Abbeville os to mu'der, hut' the same intolerance existed as to colored men voting. '! here were two ca CB of murder fn New berry-Leo Naneo and a wan by tho name of John-on Glassgow-prominent colored men that I now recol? lect. Examination by J. D. l'ope, Esq., for J. P, Heed : Q.-How many whit- men or any party in South Carolina supported you for Governor do you think? A.-I hive no moans "1 knowing. It was a matter -. I HM - mkm? i - ? - - . white or coloied men, no- did I regard it nu impor? tant to tho rcsu'.t. so long as there was a (air elec t'.on, ana tho voters had tile right to exercise thc privilege guaranteed to them by the laws of the country. Q.-That maybe true, but was it not the fact tint you wera elected by colored voters almost entirely '. A.-I have ne means now of knowing ibo rttattve number ol whito and colored TOUS cast fur me,-but 1 knov as a matter of necessity that I received near? ly all tho colored votes cast in tho State, ai they were Republicans from necessity, and voted for the Republican raediAateo. Q.-Lu ri ag tho oauvass for Congress were you at any time or times, and how often, in tho Thin! Con? gressional Disrric, om or the County of RiohlandV A.-I was never out of the City Columbia to vWt any por. ion of the Third Congressional District dur? ing the canvass. Q -Were you in any of these cou .ties before the canvass? A.-I never was. Q.-Have you boen stree ? A.-I have not. il y duties li ?re hive rendered it almost impossible to leave the capital. Q.-Tear Informa ion. then, is derived from other?? A.-Yes. My inform ation is derived from informa? tion ci citizens living in these counties, from civil officers of tho Mate government, and military offi? cers -wh o were on duty in theso counties. Q.-You say that the resistance to the laws w..s en? tirely-hy Democratic organizations. Who ?javo you this information. Democrats or Republicans9 A.-Doth. Maay men of the Democratic parry were opposed to these Democratic orgauis itleua for ?he purpose of resisting ihe law and setting at de? fiance the authority of the stine government. Q.-Pray name some cf these Democrats who gave you ibis information? A.-I am not at liberty to nam? thom, as they en? joined confidence, claim1 ng that ii it was .known that thoy '.ave the information whereby tue par ies might be brought to Justice, their owu lives and property would ba io danger. Q-?You say that Democrats told you that sixteen shooters wero^Hbported tokeop'he negroes irom tho polls. Name ?om: who toid yo i this ? A.-Members of tho Democ.at'c club told mc this. It don't tollow that they ure De m oem ta because thoy b.-longed to Demokratie clubs. A number of Re? publican* joined Democratic clubB in order-to dis? cover what object they had in importing t bese de? structive weapon). I do not for precautionary rea? sons feel, justified lu giving their names to tho public. Q-Would you believe the tes'imo ly of any man who became a member of a Democratic club for ihe purpose of communicating to outsiders what he there eawaind neara ? A.-When surrounding circumstances ami results corroborate testimony folly, I wi uld believe them. ' Q -You spoke of white men beinu armed. Do you not know that lhere Were armed bauds of negroes in Edgefleld and Abbeville, and were you not applied te frequeatly to prevent their uso ot these arms i And what did you do to prevent it? A.-*?I de net know that there wore Mich armed binds in these counties, nor ao I now ri collect af J any ri pert of e.uch armed bands being made to mo trom Abbeville, lt may. however, have been made, as there was a gcaoral rumor of armed bands of no groes. Q.-Do you ?now that tho importation of arms into the State twos brought about by tho fact that every negro mania the State was tko owner of a fire? arm, and the white maa almost entirely unarmed? A.-On the contrary I know to the r- verse ol' that. You would scarcely, meet a whito mau who did uot have ono revolver.jf.?ot more, and a double barrel shotgun. It is true that many of tho coloro J meu wer* a: mod with shot guns and old muskets, but net moro than a lace minority ot them had even these arms. I wish.to say that I give thu whito ot ?he Mate the credit .willi mora intelligence and knowledge ol' the negro character tuan to believe th-?ti; was necossiiy ki any emergency to pr?vido themselves wilh ihe de&ttuclivo weapons in a time ol profound peuce. Q-You think tbon and testify that thc sixteen ?{hooters were imported io kill ncgrooe? A.-I believe from evidonco that 1 dare not regard as worthless that it was tho belief of a party or a large BU re ber of meu in the state thut M-yraour and Muir would be elected, and th-roby a decision would bo uiveu against thc Reconstruction policy of Con? gress, and R was thc intention o? i ho.-o to inaugurate civil war and overthrow the governments that hod been established in tho s-'oti h. I wi 1 give as on? reason for ?his bellci : Conversations were not un? common .ia/)ng those who were most active in im? port,: g these arms, wherein they exu: sawed tully un : openly tue}- plan of cpo.ot ..u. ni which they stated that they would briug about a not; in this event they would be prepared and kill og the leadiug Repabl'cans, both ulule ?.nd blael:. and that R would be an easy matter alter they were tl sposed oj. lo control the rest ol I lie negroes, with these guns in their hands.

Of the newspapers on onr exchange list scarcely any two seem to agree in views of the inaugural address of President Grant. We make some extracts from their comments : [From the Baltimore Sun.] The inaugural address is marked by tho sim? plicity, coucisencps and directness of tho man of action, and of one who is more accustomed to express himself through the medium of doeds than of words. Its utterances are calm, frank and decided. It is encouraging to hear him declare at tho outset that be commences the duties of his office untra mmol led. [P.031 the Baltimore Gazette ] To undertake to pass any decisive judgment . upon the incoming President, or to venture to forecast tho character of his admis tratton upon thc solo basis of the address in question, would be premature, if not unfair. His language will probably be differently interpreted by those who merely read it as it runs, and by those who consider it in connection with his previously recorded acts and opinions. Timo will soon show conclusively whether General Grant is to ho tho chief of a party or the hope ot a nation. [From tho Richmond Dispatch.] The inaugural is a very plain aud unpretend? ing document. Its propositions are general and national, affording little room tor object ion or criticism. With reference to tho South there is oulyono passigo whioh has an espec? ial bearing, and that is what he says about suf? frage, viz : "The question of suffrage is one which is likely to agitate the public so long as a portion of the citizens of the nation are ex? cluded trotu its pnvillegos in any State." This may bc fairly understood to include disfran? chised whites; but General Graut couples it with a sentence recommending the adoration by the Stat es of tbe Fifteenth constitutional amend? ment, which is a mero "nogijjo" amendment. While we have no doubt that, Ganoral ?.rant meant to include white men io the passage Suoted above, wo think it unfirtunato that he id not separate it more comdletely from that which followed about the "amendment," as it will give "color" to a constru?tion which will bo placed upon it by some. [From the Richmond Enquirer ] If the Senate refraiued from repealing the Xer.ure-of-office act in ordor to see President Grant's hand, wc do not think they have made much out of him. There is in general a stu? died reticence about the inaugural that be? trays a good deal of thin kio ?j on tho part of tho President, while it avoids any commit til upon which tho Senate can lay hold in the way of apology for refusing still longer to remove tho "carb-bit" from tho mouth of the Executive. [From the Richmond Whig.] The inaugural will be read by the people of Virginia with unalloyed satisfaction. Ouc has only to consider what sort of a manifesto there would have been, in its stead, if some real representative of thc Radical party had been elected President-some genuino expo? nent of tho ?erce and malign spirit that has swayed tue two last Congresses-sumo Sum? ner, or Wacio, or Butler-to appreciate propei ly the animus of tho new President, is illus? trated not moro in what ho says than in what he so significantly forbears to say. For how long a time has it been that wc have had a President oither from'tho North or tho South, before this one, who, in a formal ave wal of his sentiments aud programme of action, has ig? nored tho negro as a political issue, and avoid? ed sectional allusions altogether! And how strange it seems to have tho elect of a party whose i-pitit towards tho South has seemed little less thin Satanic, presen ting bi? views of thc national situation wi tin mt making ono of? fensive rofeieuc to tho recent past, or apply? ing one insulting epithet to those of whom it has been the custom of tho favorito leaders ot' thal party to speak only us '. rebels," "trai? tors,'' and "talons." It was by nj inadver? tence that these pregnant omissions occurred. [From the Macon Journal.] President Grniit's^naugural will disappoint speaks with no uncertain voice. We have no? thing to hope forfrom the new administration. Tho affairs of tho government nra to be admin? istered, not. perhaps, in a way to plcaso tho extremists of tho Radical partyA hut certainly with no reference to tho wishes or interests of tho Southern States of tho Union. Undrtr a show of brave words, and an assumption of in? dependence, there plainly runs a current of sut-scrviency to party behests, and an assur? ance to its leaders that their wishes and couu seiH will not be didrcgardod. Grant is a Radi? cal, and a slave of tho bondholders nt that. [From the National Intelligencer,] On yesterday President Grant announced in a brief, conciso and energetic spoech to tho American people tho general.principles which would guide his administration. We were not among those who expected or desired to lind in this address great minuteness and elabora? ting of views; and though his statements are in general and somewhat guarded terms, wo find BO occasion m this either for criticism or regret. Tliero is a very general disposition among the people,in which we fully sympa? thize, to give the new President a fair trial as he enters upon his difficult duties, to respect his intentions, and second every just and well meant endeavor he may moke for tho public good. And thus, though this paper may in somes particulars fall short of. and in others run counter to our wishes, we shall fool bound to await afuUer development of his policy, aris? ing from sp?cifie acts of administration, boping that these may oe such as all patriotic citi? zens can freely support. [Krona Uao New York World.] The only respect in which this empty and self-confident address is of any importance, is in tho evidence it furnishes that General Grant does uot intend to have any serious diff?rences with tho Ropublican party. With all its self-assertion, tho inaugural 'is really very servile. It ?ndoiS98 all '.ho favorito meas? ures and dogmas of the Republican party, ox cept the Tcnure-of-officc act; and on that tho pany is known to bo abott equally divided. All his independence is exhausted in the mere empty proclamation of it; he has not had tho real indopendenco to differ from his party in any particular. Aside from ts tone of ill-be? seeming self-confidence, Gcnsral Grant's inau? gural is a meru echo of the tritest common? places of the Republican newspapers. We challenge his admirers to pjiut out a single idea which he bas contributtd to the thread? bare stock from which bo drtw the materials of his address.

After several days of gastronomical medita? tions, not having f mud what ho was looking for, bo summoned his cook t* his presence and told him that, if he could get up a dainty breakfast for a lady, which alould bo composed of as few and os small disher as possiblo, and, at the same time, ho most costly, ho would re? ward him accordingly. Several weeks afterward tho wok entcrod Mark Antony's study, and told him that he was ready to Bcrve tho daintr breakfast asked of him, and that it was composed of ono olivo only. At tho appointod hon" thc cook eutored tho dining room, followed byone hundred men carrying the olive (in its artificial envelope), un their shoulders. Thoy deposited it on a table made for the occasion, md fifty carvers were sel to work on it. After several hours of hard work, the triumphant cook placed the olive before the Egyptian Qicen, wn0 i00ked at it with amazement, still wi L perfect delight. The olive had been preppnd iu thc following way : Alter having Leon steted, it was stuffed with a rich custard, then pm inside of a boned canary, which WUB used to stuff an ortolan. The latter was elated inside of a boned oriolo, which was used to stuff a lluusli, which thrush stuffed a litnied lark. A boned snipe was stuffed with tho lark aud olactd inside of a robin, which was used to Huff a plover, and which latter bird fillod a qua!, which was then placed inside of a pigeon. Ibo pigeon tilled a woodcock, tho woodcock a ptitridge, the latter a grouse, the grouse a pheiuaut, tho pheasant a chicken, tho di cken a gnnea fowl, which was placed inside of a goosi; tho goose filled a limey, tho turkey a swan, tho latter an os? trich, which was usnu lo Stutf a sheep, the sheep a calf, tho calf an antelope, thu latter a ptg, thc pig a door, thu deei a bear, the bear a heifer, ibo biter au elk, th) nik au ox, thc ox a hippopotamus, the latteran elepha it. Tho olive was then roasted in its envelopo, which was ihruwn away and the dive only was B?T ed.-Pierre B'o'\ in Aftre't Galaxy. AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA. Five prisoners escaped from tho State Peni? tentiary of Florida on the 20ih ultimo. In various sections of Florida vre notice that the people arc forming agricultural and immi? gration societies. The Florida Railroads are offering to trans ort passengers wishing to visit Middle Fiori a with a view to investment, for half fare. A colored boy named Gadsden Jackson was killed by a colored man named Miller, at a colored b .11 at Jacksonville on Tuesday last. William P. Dockrav, Esq.. late Clerk of tho United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida, bns boen appointed Com? missioner foi' tho United States Court of Claims, for the Stale of Florida. Seventy thousand acres of land in Florida will be sold at Jacksonville on the first Monday in April next, for division among the heirs, those lands aro Spanish grants, and com? prise some of tho most valuable laudi in the State. Major Purnam, State senator, and Dr. Fin? layson, clerk of the court, were assassinated in the streets of Marianna, Jackson County, Florida, on the night of the 26th of February. Tho latter was killed outright and the former mortally wounded. Tho Jacksonville Union says : "On tho 18th ult., two men, named Samuel J. Malloy and John Fullerton, left Federal Point in a small skiff for Racy's Point, five or six milos north of that place, the wind blowing quite freshly. Wednos loy morning tho 21 : la inst., tho body of a man was found floating in the water in front of Captain B. H. Hart's place; on being drawn ashore it was found to ba tho body of Malloy. Shortly after, friends from Racy's having bscomo alarmed at tho long absence of the two men, carno up in search of them, lbe other bodv was found during the day, but the boat probably went to the bottom, as nothing has been heard of it. Both of tho men had recently arrived from New York City, where Malloy, who was about thirty-five yoars of age, leaves a witc and child. Fullerton was twenty-eight years old, and leaves a wife to mourn his loss." RAILROAD TO MANNING.-Wo are now inform? ed by an old experienced and very rchablo rail? road man that if tho pine land owners along tho line of the road for eight or ten mdes on either aide will ,ubscribo a portion of their land ot fair valuation, the road can be built by taking the land as a basis of cre dit. This is a fact, and if the people of Clarendon will take hold of the matter now, and make a bold, energetic effort, in sixteen months ttmo we will hear tho snort of the "iron horso" in Man nii g. It is suggested, and wo earnestly hope tho people may act upon it promptly, that a meeting of the land owners be held as early os practicable for the consideration of tho matter. Wait not one upon another, let thc meeting be called imm?diat ly, and let each land owner come np and offor tho aid he is able to give, (a portion of his land) aud by so acting, suc? cess will orown tho effort. Charleston, we are told, will subscribe liberally; Sumter and Bish opvillc will lend their aid. From these differ? ent points, money enough might bo obtained to carry on tho work, and tho laud subscribed might not be sold for some lime yet. It seems to us that everything is in our power to accom? plish the work, and if tho people of Clarendon earnestly dosiro to close up in tho ranks of progression, thore is no bottor tirao for action than tho present.-Clarendon Press. /nncr?l Wicca._ 93- TUc Relatives, Friends and Ac? quaintances of Ur?.

This is effected partly by the action of a solvent, call? ed tRe ga-trio juico, which exudes from the coiling of the stomach, and partly by a mechanical move? ment of that organ, which churns, as it were, the dissolving ailment. Tho Cann: peases from the stomach into tbe duodenum, or entrance to the bo weis, where lt is subjected to the action of tho bile, and the nutritious portion of it converted into a fluid called Cbyle, which eventually becomes blood. Af. Now, lt is evident-tbat if tho great solvent, the gastric juice, is not produced ia sufficient quantity, or if the mechanical action of the stomach is not sufficiently brisk, the '3 rst process of digestion will be bat imperfectly performed. It is also clear that if aie liver, wbioh plays snob an important part in changing the nonrisUing portioa of the CBTKB into the material of the blond, is congested, or in any un. natural condition, the second process will not be thoroughly accompllshel. The result of the two failures is dyspepsia, complicated with biliousness. Tho modo in which HOSTETTEB'S BITTEBS operate in such OJSOS is this: Thoy invigorate the cellular membrane of the stomach, which evolves the gastric J nico, tboreby lnanrlug an ample suffi? ciency of tha finid to completely dissolve the food. Thoy also act upon tho nerv?s of tho at^maoh, caus? ing an accel-rarlon of the mechatiical movement necessary to reduce the food to a homogeneous miss. Xliey also act specifically upon the liver, strengthening it, sud so enabling it to produce an ample and r?gulai supply of bile, for the purpose of converting the nutritions particles of the Chyme into Chyle, and prom te tho passage through the bowels of thc useless debris. In this way HOdTETTEB'S BI CTEBS eura dys? pepsia sud livor complaint. The explanation is pluiu, simple, philosophical and trae.
