Such is dyspepsia, The stomach and the brain are too intimately allied for the one to suf fer without the other, so that dyspepsia and des pondency are inseparable. It may be added, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost invaria bly accompanied by iiritation of the temper, The invigorating and tranquilizing operation of Hostetter’s Bitters is most powerfully develop ed in cases of indigestion. The first effect of this agreeable Ionic is comforting and encourag ing. A mild glow pervades the system, the chronic uneasiness in the region of the stomach is lessened, and the nervoaa restlessness which characterizes the disease is abated. This im provement is not transient. It is not succeeded by the return ol the old symptoms with super- added force, as is always the case when unmedi cated Etimulants are given for the complaint. Each dose seems to impart a permanent accession of healthful invigoration. Bat this is not all. The apperient ana anti-bilious properties of the preparation are scarcely secondary in impor tance to its tonie virtues. If there is an over flow ef bile the secretion is soon brought within proper limits, and if the biliary orgva is inert and torpid it is toned and regulated. The effect upon the discharging organs is equally salutary, and in cases of constipation the catbartie action is just sufficient to produce the desired result gradually and without pain. The Bitters also promote healthy evaporation from the surface which i3 particularly desirable at this season when sudden spells of raw, unpleasant weather are apt to check the natural perspiration and produce congestion of the liver, coughs, and colds. The best safeguard against ail diseases is bodily vigor, and this the great Vegetible Res torative essentially promotes. novltwlm The New Year, with all Us glittering visions of hope that maatie in gems of beauty the rosy cheeks of health, fails to gladden the heart of yonder pale, sickly, and deicate female! Daik and gloomy forebodings appear to settle upon her brow. Her heart palpitates, her eyes are dim her intellect dull, hir cheek faded, and her whole system writhing with pain and misery: The use of English Female Bitters will relieve her of all these troubles, and send a thrill of joy and glow of health throughout her frame, restor ing her in health and beauty, to the warm em brace? of family and friends. nov2twlm Sblma, Rome & Dalton R.

Tha following ara somo of the reasons why the Ladies prefer these Machines, which are warranted to do all that is claimed for them, to all others. It is the easiest running Machine that can do the work. The needle is easily adjusted. The regularity of the tension is unequalled. It is almost noisless, and oan be used where quiet is necessary. It is the only machine that eaa securely fasten both ends of the seam. The Hemmer is easily adjusted nnd will turn any width of hem desired. It will hem, fell, bind, gather, braid, quilt, nnd gather and sew on a ruffle at the same time. Changing the length ef the stitch, and from one kind of stitch to another, can readily be done while the machine is in motion. Its motions are all positive; there art no springs to get out of order, and its simplicity enables the most inexperienced to operate it. It makes four different Stitches with as much ease as ordinary machines make one, and with as little machinery. Each stitch being alike on both sides of the fabric. ^ Mrs. MILLS has these Machines and al ways a supply of Needles and Thread f »r sals, at her residence in rear of the post office. She will give full directions and instructions. Go and sea THE FLORENCE before purebas- oci29t' xng. taly Boarding Housi. TThE Undersigned has openadaHonsafor Day Boarders, at the Residence of Dr. J.
