Two Disgruntled and Disgusted Edi
tors.
A few weeks ago the Editors of the
Atlanta Sun, and the Atlanta Herald,
rode into the arena with a grand
ilourish of trumpets, and threw' down
their gage and challenged the world.
They proclaimed themselves the cham
pions of Atlanta’s proud record, and
were ready and willing to do battle
with all contestants in such a glorious
cause. We accepted the challenge and
have collated and compiled only a few
chapters from that record, and already
they recoil from the contest and blame
us because the record is so disgusting.
We do not wonder at their giving
up their championship and backing
out of a contest so hopeless. We
warned them in the beginning that
they had undertaken a labor which
they could not perform. But why
should they blame us for the unsavory
odor of Atlanta’s record? We did not
make it. The people of Atlanta are
responsible for their own record. We
have merely collected a few facts from
the archives of the country, and these
two champions are discouraged and
give up their championship without
removing one foul blot from Atlanta’s
record. They did not explain the
fraud that was used to persuade the
negroes to vote for moving the Capi
tal. They never explained why the
town Council of Atlanta did not re
deem her pledge to the State in re
gard to the public buildings.
Neither of these champions have
explained to the people of Georgia,
why the citizens of Atlanta combined
with Bulluck and Kimball, and helped
these two worthies to lobby the legis
lature into buying the old Opera
House for a capitol. Nor why they
were willing that the State should
pay more than five times its value for
that ill-omened building, when some
of them knew it was mortgaged for
more than it was worth. Neither of
these champions of Atlanta’s proud
record have explained how those citi
zens of Atlanta who were suspected
of stealing from the State road were
let out of jail and suffered to escape
before trial.
The Editor of the Sun has discover
ed that on examination, the record of
Atlanta is not one of which any people
can well be proud, and therefore wish
es to back out from the discussion.
No one will blame him for wishing to
get out of the controversy on any
terms. Heaven and earth and the rest
of mankind can witness that he has
not made anything by it, not even his
expenses thus far. And we do not
think the people of Atlanta will thank
him lor stirring up their record, and
ventilating their pas$ history. Many
parts of their history will not improve
upon investigation. But the past, the
present and the future interests of the
whole State are connected with the
records of Atlanta and it is therefore
our privilege and our duty to examine
them.
More of the Freedmen’s Bureau
Rascalities.
It will be seen that, the Secretary
of War is after old Gen. O. O. How
ard of pious memory for stealing from
the negroes. When Fernando Wood
brought before Congress a long string
of charges against this saintly hero,
for stealing from and defrauding the
government, and proved nearly every
one of bis charges to the satisfaction
of every honest man, the Radicals in
Congress voted almost unanimously
that he was innocent. We suppose
it was upon the principle that so great
a saint as Howard could do no wrong,
whilst so great a sinner as Wood had
no right to bring charges against so
good a man as Howard. But the Sec
retary of War has now found out that
this same pious Howard has been
guilty of stealing from the negroes,
and what is worse, he even defrauded
the negro troops. This alters the case.
Howard had a right -to defraud the
government as much as he could. All
of the government officials had done
that with impunity ; but cheating and
defrauding and stealing from the col
ored troops is quite a different thing
and must be’ enquired into, conse
quently Belknap is after Howard with
a sharp stick, and in all probability
will soon have his hide on a pole. It
really seems as if these Radical saints
were to have no rest in this wicked
world. As soon as one of them has
stolen enough to make him and his
family comfortable for life some wick
ed accomplice tells on him, and he
goes to pat. Look at Colfax, Harland,
Patterson, Pomeroy and Wilson, and
now comes Howard, the most saintly
pious of them all.
CTpf’ An old subscriber in Schley
county in making us a remittance,
takes occasion to speak in severe terms
of Atlanta, and exclaims: “ Good
Heavens ! let us carry the seat of gov
ernment back to Milledgeville.” AVe
are willing, the people are anxious, but
it is stuck in the mud, and a strong
pull altogether is necessary to get it
out—but it’s bound to come.

Above we have taken a few items
of expense of carrying on the Govern
ment in Milledgeville in 1867 and in
Atlanta in 1869. It will be seen that
in many items the expenses were more
than ten to one in Atlanta. We have
contrasted two years nearest together,
and in every item the expense is very
greatly in favor of Milledgeville. To
these may be added the higher pay of
members, clerks, &c. We will try
and get them for the edification of
the Herald. The above will suffice
for the present.
Turning His Boarders out to Grass.
The Atlanta papers inform us that
that the enterprizing proprietor of the
Hi Kimball House is fencing off a
grass plat with shade trees in it for
the use of his boarders. Here he in
tends to fix benches and other conve
niences, where his guests on long sum
mer days can ruminate to their heart’s
content. The proprietor of the Kim
ball House has probably been reading
the history of Nebuchadnezzar, the
wicked King of Babylon, as recorded
in the book of Daniel. This wicked
King of Babylon was put upon a grass
diet for seven years, to cure him of a
bad habit lie had of bragging and lying
about what great things he had done.
Col. Nichols knowing that many of the
citizens of Atlanta were afflicted with
Nebuchadnezzar’s infirmity, and that
several of his boarders had the same
disease very bad, wisely and humanely
determined to try the gramniverous
treatment upon them. He deserves
much credit for his benevolent design.
But the disease in some of his patients
is chronic, and of the very worst type,
and we fear it will take more than
seven years to cure them. However,
the experiment is worth trying. The
grass treatment had a good efiect upon
the morals of Nebuchadnezzar, 'and it
may have upon those of Col. Nichols’
boarders.
From the Knoxville Chronicle.
Letter from Dr. Ramsey;
Editors Chronicle: Many years ago
Dr. James Rodgers and myself, under
intimations contained in numbers of
the London Lancet, began the use of
aromatic sulphuric acid in diarrhoea.
I send the formula that has become
old with me, and will be found as a
“ stand by” in many families in which
I formerly gave advice. A number of
years ago a visitation of endemic cholera
occurred at Memphis, Tenn., and sev
eral cases of collapse were relieved and
life preserved by the bold use of sul
phuric acid and quiniue, hypoderuical-
ly administered by Dr. Almon Brooks,
now of Hot Springs, Ark. Indeed,
Dr. Brooks met with such success that
he did not regard a case as trouble
some provided he was called in collapse.
Rx. aromatic sulphuric acid, one
ounce, laudanum one half ounce,

Where Grant Was, and What he
Was Doing.
New York journals comment upon
the absence of Grant from the funeral
ceremonies of Chief Justice Chase,
in New York, on Saturday the 10th.
Grant’s Washington organ, the Re
publican, of that day says :
The President was out on the road
to-day exercising a pair of under three-
year-old colts, which he has just had
sent from his farm, near St. Louis.
One is a dark bay and the other a beau
tiful dapple bay. Driven together,
they show superb style, speed and ac
tion, and are probably the finest pair
of horses of their age ever brought to
Washington. They are colts of the
President’s own raising, and he was
scarcely aware until he saw them on
the farm that such a new possession
and delight were in store for him.
A case of yellow fever is reported
in New York.
dreary time of exile in this busy west
ern city, far from the Magnolias and
Jasmines of her native State ? I feel
that a chat with the readers of the
dear old Federal Union will be next
thing to seeing them face to face. I
will probably tell them nothing very
new, but the first impressions of a
city upon a little country girl may be
of some interest to her old friends.—
St. Louis “the future great city of the
world” is making rapid strides day by
day; but a few weeks longer and the
great bridge that will span the
waters of the mighty Mississippi will
be completed. The great Tunnel for
the steam cars, that for more than a
mile will underlie the busiest streets,
to serve as an artery to connect the At
lantic and Pacific shores, is rapidly
progressing. The snorting iron horse
whose shrill whistle startled the citi
zens of the “Golden Gate City” will
not cease his flight for the Rocky
Mountains or broad prairies, nor the
deep rolling waves of the muddy Mis
souri, but through the bowels of the
earth, almost in the air at times, he
dashes on, until reaching our city he
darts into the earth with a wild shriek
only to emerge at the foot of the lofty
bridge that spans the Mississippi, then
away, away, without let or hindrance
to cool his dusty throat by the shores
of the broad Atlantic.
You have heard of the magnificent
palaces of marble, iron and plate glass,
all products of the State, that are dai
ly rising with almost magical rapidity.
There is one just finished built entire*-
ly of iron and plate glass. There is
another immense building of creamy
white St. Geneviere stone whose broad
flat roof is surmounted with fifteen
gigantic statues representatives of the
different industries of “the great city.”
You may imagine how startled I am
at the sight of the many wonderful
things that I see, all so new and
strange to my unaccustomed eyes; but
I long for a sight of the broom-straw
waving in the wind—for a breath of
the crab-apples found in the woods at
Fort Wilkinson—for a pic nic at
Thomas’ Mill. I am weary of all this
dust and tumult and confusion—the
acres and acres of red brick w ith not
a tree or so much as a blade of grass
to be found. To-day, the last day of
May, is decidedly more comfortable
by the stove (we never sec a wood
fire even) than any where else.
As fate has thrown my life for
while among these good western peo
ple I will, from time to time, console
myself for the absence of accustomed
scenes, by flying away in thought to
the dear old Oconee, and through the
pages of your paper, if you are will
ing, talk with old friends. C.
We will be pleased to hear from our
young friend ‘C.’ as often as she feels
disposed to write.—Editor.
The Convention of School Commis
sioners.
The attention of School Commis
sioners throughout the State of Geor
gia, is called to the communication
of Prof. Gustavus J. Orr, State
School Commissioner, viz :
Department of Education. )
Atlanta, Ga., June 10, 1S73. j
After consultation with His Excel
lency the Governor, I hereby call a
convention of the County School Com
missioners of this State, to be held in
this city on the 25th and 2Gth days of
this mouth.
The object of the Convention are
to awaken interest in the ‘•public
schools, to promote uniformity in the
practical workings of the system, to
secure a better understanding of its
details, and to gain fuller information
as to the status of school affairs
throughout the entire State.
Through the kindness of the citizens
of Atlanta, arrangements have already
been made for entertaining one hun
dred of the members free of charge,
and I feel safe in saying, from efforts
which I am now making, that 1 shall
succeed in providing for the remaining
forty in the same way.
The following railroads have shown
their public spirit by granting a free
return to all members who pay full
fare incoming, viz: The Western &
Atlantic, the Atlanta & Richmond Air
Line, the Central and its connections,
including the Macon & Western and
the Southwestern aud its branches, the
Georgia, the Rome, the Cherokee, the
Atlantic & Gulf, the Macon & Bruns
wick and the Atlanta & West Point.
In order to relieve the members, as
nearly as possible, from all expense, I
hereby instruct the several county
boards of education to consider the
three or four days spent in the con
vention, aud in coming and returning,
as days devoted to official duty, allow
ing the Commissioners the usual per
diem; inasmuch as I feel assured that
this time, wisely spent, will result in
more solid good than the same num
ber ol days occupied with any of the
regular labors.
The chief executive officers of sys
tems in cities and counties, established
under special laws, are also invited to
attend.
Members, on coming into the city,
will be met at the trains and shown to
their homes by myself and assistants.
That they may be identified, I request
them to wear each a red ribbon tied in
the lapel of his coat. Myself and as
sistants will wear blue ribbons, tied in
the same manner.
Let all come, that we may consult
about the great interests which we
represent.
All the papers of the State are re
quested to copy this, as they will there
by render important public service.
Gustavus J. Orr,
State School Commissioner.

“ Patrons of Husbandry'”
The President of the “Patrons of
Husbandry,” in answer to an edito
rial of the Utica Herald, opposing the
Order of Patrons of Husbandry as
wicked or tyrannical, says: “In our
organization the discussion of partisan
politics is forbidden; yet we believe
that we, as men (not as Patrons of
Husbandry) should, as a duty, scan
very closely the acts of our public ser
vants; that we, as producers, while we
furnish food for the millions, fight our
nation’s battles, defend its liberties in
time of danger, should, of a right, have
an equal share as such in the making
of those laws by which we are govern
ed; that we have a right to demand
that in all things, whether politic or
otherwise, the principles of common
honesty shall not be wholly ignored,
and to place ourselves in a position to
enforce that demand. We know no
party; but we consider it the duty o
all connected with us to, outside of
the Grange, see to it that the candi
dates of all parties be men of integrity,
whose interest is the welfare of the
people, and not political ring-masters.
In the Grange, also, we are taught to
advance the interests of education. In
short, the Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry is lor the elevation of the
masses socially, mentally, morally and
financially, and we hope that the press
of no political party will so oppose us
that we shall be compelled to regard
them as enemies.”

The Folaris Refugees.
Washington, June 13.—A dispatch
says the refugees from the Polaris
were sent North with instructions to
make no communications. The dis
patch states that enough has been
hinted around the navy yard to show
tliat the report ot the Secretary of the
Navy will indicate that jealousy and
intrigue prevailed on the Polaris from
the day she sailed.
Cupt. Hall found that Buddington
opposed him, and when the Polaris
reached the fartherest point north,
with everything favorable in prospect,
Buddington refused to go farther,
when Hall became discouraged, and
Buddington, after Hall’s death, was
constantly drunk.
Capt. Hall's widow arrived at Wash
ington, from Cincinnati, and was dis
tressed to find the crew of the Polaris
gone, as she desired to talk with them
about her husband’s death.
The naval authorities withhold in
formation regarding the Polaris affair.
An Intelligent Collector.
It has leaked out that during the re
cent excursion of the Examining Board
of the Treasury Department South, a
collector of customs was found (in
Jacksonville, Florida,) who could
neither read nor write and who had
been previously convicted of an infa
mous crime.
A Simple Preventative against
Cholera.—It is reported that Asiatic
Cholera is in Louisville and other
places. If this be true use sulphur in
your socks. A half teaspoonful in
each sock every morning is enough.
This will charge your system with sul
phurated hydrogen, which Dr. Herring
—high authority with homeopaths—
says is a bar to cholera, as you can sec
in his medical work published twenty
years ago. Many used it as above in
St. Louis in 1866 and 1867, and I did
not hear of a case among such.—Cou
rier Journal.
The Nashville What is it?
Nashville, June 14.—Leading doc
tors in Nashville are now, and have
been from the first, divided in opinion
among themselves, on the question
whether there has been a single case
of real cholera in Nash’ville during this
season. Mortality in the city certain
ly increased for ten days, until four
days ago, when it began to decrease.
The doctors report that the cases, of
whatever nature they may be, are en
tirely controlable. The average num
ber of deaths are from twelve to fif
teen a day, and occur mainly among
the negroes.
The Memphis Mortality.
Memphis, June 14.—There were
only twelve interments here to-day
from all diseases, against seventeen
yesterday. There were thirty-eight
deaths from cholera during the week.
The Oregon militiamen didn’t trou
ble the Modocs much while they were
in their little Lava Bed, but they know
how to make it warm for helpless and
defenseless prisoners.
Florida Industries.
The ladies of Florida are carrying on
a lively and remunerative industry in
palmetto braiding; in Fernandina
alone a number of workers are en
gaged constantly in making hats for
home and foreign markets. Hundreds
of dozens of palmetto hats are shipped
to New Y’ork, bringing into the Island
City about three thousand dollars a
week, and furnishing light and pleasnt
employment for fair hands hitherto un
accustomed to manual labor. The ma
nia for “rustic hats" is raging in Paris,
and consequently American workman
ship is more highly regarded on this
side of the Atlantic. If there is any
thing that can add a charm to this
graceful head covering, it is a knowl
edge of the fact that it is imported—
having crossed the ocean and returned
with no other addition than the
heavy duty imposed on all French im
ports.
The ladies of Florida have always
been noted for their exquisite handi
craft. Their Spanish and Mexican
needle-work is very beautiful. Their
handkerchiefs are only rivalled by the
costliest laces, and in years gone by
were among the expensive luxuries ot
Southern ladies.
The feathers of their native birds
were fashioned into the most beautiful
flowers. The snowy plumage of the
white heron arranged in long plumes
made as graceful an ornament for a
hat as could be desired, and durin
the war were in great demand. Our
own Georgia women excelled in some
of these arts during that memorable
period. How is it that these pretty
little feminine accomplishments so soon
fell into disuse? The women of the
South are the conservators of South
ern pride and patriotism, and there is
something lovely beyond expression
in this self-sustaining patronage of
home productions.—Sav. News.
Tan Yard Aristocracy at Long
Branch.—The arrival of Presylent
Grant mid his family at Long Branch
on Friday was the occasion of consid
erable fluttering among the inhabi
tants permanent and transient. The
President’s own carriage was on band,
with two prancing bays and a proud
colored driver, awaiting their arrival.
The President disembarked with his
family and friends amid the drizzling
rain, took refuge at once under the
shelter of the depot, entered the car
riage in waiting, buttoned the curtains
all around and sped away at a rattling
pace for home. In the carriage with
the President were Mrn, Grant, their
daughter Nellie, Mr. Dent, Sr., and
Ulyssis Grant, Jr. The President
wore his customary suit of solemn
black, with stove-pipe hat and looked
stern as usual, having a rather florid
color in his face. Mrs. Grant also
wore black and looked unusually
handsome and pleasant. Miss Nellie
looked as a reigning belle of the day
should, and wore a travelling linen
duster over her dress. The seaside
cottage was all in condition, and the
President’s party rested there, content
to put up with a few inconveniences
incident to moving for the night. The
President’s baggage had been ar
riving all day. Eight furniture wag
ons had been driven down Ocean ave
nue to the President’s cottage con
taining the Federal baggage. Four car
riages and a buggy had been towed in
the train of furniture wagons, com
prising a seaside phaffon for Miss Nel
lie, a two seat buggy for the President
and a friend, the huge high-backed
English carriage for the united family,
a dog-cart for the boys, and modest
rockaway for Mrs. Grant’s accommo
dation, while the seven magnificent
horses of the President had been led
or driven.to their seaside stabling.
Mr. Jefferson Davis is said to be
writing a history of the war. Such a
woik from such a man would be valua
ble. He is reported as saying that he
“feared the country was beyond the
redeeming efficacy of moral worth or
elevated intelligence,” and the mem
ories of the Credit Mobilier and Vien
na scandals give a painful point to the
observation. As this demoralization has
been entirely brought about by the
party that has controlled the govern
ment since the war, it is well that the
most capable and cunning hand is to
write a history of the pivotal period
where the decade of virtue and hones
ty ended and the decade of corruption
and dishonor commenced. If Mr. Da
vis will prepare his work with skill
and judgment, as well bs with the
ability which all acknowledge he pos
sesses, he may walk down to posterity
with it in his hand.—Courier-Journal.
A gem recently found by a Huron
Indian on the shores of Lake Superior,
is a compound of four classes of stones
agglommerated together so as to con
stitute a perfect gem of rare beauty
The stones comprised iu it are agate,
cornelian, perite and crystal. Among
the other remarkable features of this
curious gem are the appearance upon
each side, as if from the hand of an
engraver, of a resemblance of a minia
ture crown, the clearly defined forms
of a black and-tan dog, the bead of an
owl, the tracings of the shores of little
lakes and other remarkable phenomena,
rarely if ever found in stones of any
kind.
The Vienna Exposition.
London, June 14.—A Vienna dis
patch says the number of visitors to
the Exhibition is far less than was an
ticipated. The trodes, people and in
habitants generally are greatly dis
couraged at the absence of strangers,
and the prices of living which have
hitherto deterred persons from visiting
the city have been reduced.
Sketches from Vienna.
leather work at the exposition.
[By Bayard Taylor.]
The Vienna shopkeepers appear to
have emptied their stores into the Ex
hibition. Such an attractive display
of fancy goods could be produced by
no other city in the world, unless it be
Paris. We first come upon the display
of Russia leather-work, which alone
occupies nearly half as much space as
the entire American department. This
is one of the three or four great special
ties of Vienna industry. It calls to
its aid the art of the goldsmith, the
jeweler, the miniature painter, the
worker in bronze and ivory and the
mosaic artisan, and it produces many
things that are marvels of skill and
taste. The whole civilized world is
the market for these articles, and a
list of them would make a long cata
logue. Toilet cases, jewelry caskets,
photograph albums, satchels and trav
eling utensils, portemonnies, cigar
cases, glove boxes and fans are those
that are best known in our American
market, but of these we get only the
plainer kinds. The specimens on
which the most skillful workmen
spend months jn ornamenting are
usually made only to order; and not
for general trade. There is a casket
in the case of one of the principal
manufacturers whicl^cost $9,000. It
is of white leather with silver bands,
and is richly ornamented with tur
quoises and amethysts. A recent in
vention, of which mauy beautiful spe
cimens are shown, is mosaic work
in red or black leather setting for the
covers of travelling cases, jewelry cas
kets, etc. The Mosaic is made of col
ored stones, as in Florence, and repre
sents flowers, fruits and figures. An
other new idea is to cut comical sil
houette figures from black leather, and
set them on a back ground of white
or brown leather. There are a great
number of beautiful articles made of
white calf skin with miniature paint
ings in water colors, very finely execu
ted. Mosaics of bits of painted leath
er on a background of black or purple
velvet are also exceedingly attractive ;
and the combination of leather of dif
ferent colors with gilt and silver
bronze, and with . oxidized silver and
carved ivory, produces pleasing effects.
The fancy articles made of these com
binations range in size from cabinets
and writing desks to pen holders and
needle cases, and their variety defies
any attempt at enumeration. There
are one hundred and sixty manufactur
ing establishments iu Vienna engaged
in making this leather Galauterie-ware,
as the Germans call it, and they em
ploy moie than a thousand vvoikmen.
The farmers’ movement in the West
is becoming by its imposing impor
tance a serious perplexity to party
leaders. The number of Granges is
multiplying rapidly, and the disposi
tion to mingle in political contests
bids fair to completely change the re
lations of the old parties. An official
statement of the Granges organized
previous to May 19 gives the follow
ing interesting facts: “Arkansas, 15;
California, S; Georgia, 16; Illinois,
431 ; Indiana, 142; Iowa, 1,507; Kan
sas, 1 IS; Michigan, 24; Minnesota,
219; Mississippi, 112 ; Missouri, 245;
Nebraska, 190 ; Ohio, 47; South Car
olina, 118 ; Tennessee, 13; Vermont,
22; Wisconsin, 140—making an or
ganization, in the United States, of
3,377 granges, with aggregate mem
bership of over 2 000,000.”
This from the Chicago Tribune will
show the effect the movement has had
upon “ the party of great moral ideas”
in Illinois :
*• The farmers’ movement has para
lyzed the Republican party in Illinois,
and the paralysis promises to endure
for sometime. Its interference in the
election of Judge is not by any means
thorough. In many counties the organ
ization is incomplete, and it was part
of the programme in the first instance
to interfere with the courts. Farmers 1
nominations of candidates forjudges
are but incident; the organization has
further and more distinctive work be
fore it. In November next there is to
be elected in every county in this
State a corps of county officers, includ
ing Treasurers, County Clerks, Sur
veyors, etc., which have heretofore
been regarded as the exclusive spoils
of party managers. The farmers’ or
ganization will probably nominate
their own men, and elect them to these
places, except in larger cities. A year
later, in 1S74, they will have their
organization so complete in every
township they will take the election
of the twenty-six Senators and the one
hundred and fifty-three Representa
tives in the Legislature into their own
hands.”
The Southern Vegetable Trade.
—The New York Bulletin of 28th ult.,
says : The trade in Southern vegeta
bles is now at its height, and the
steamers and railroad trains from that
section of the country are bringing
large invoices to this market. The
crop of Southern strawberries is now
about exhausted, but some small in
voices are expected to arrive. The
great trade at present is in early vege
tables, and the rush for transportation
from the Southern cities has, in some
instances, been beyond the capacity of
steamships. Within the last few days
the steamers South Carolina and Cham
pion have arrived at this port from
Charleston, S. C., bringing nearly 50,-
000 packages of fresh and seasonable
vegetables. This invoice consists for
the most part of new potatoes, snap
beans and squashes, all of which is
readily disposed of in our markets at
good prices. The demand for trans-
? ortation next week will be excessive.
'housands of packages are awaiting
their return to be forwarded, and the
freight accommodation of the steam
ships will be contested to their full
capacity. These vegetables will be
exhausted in a few weeks, or at least
the arrivals will not be so numerous,
inasmuch as the Northern crops will
then be ready for market. Southern
fruits, however, will then be ripe, and
the steamships will be more crowded
than ever.

Medicinal Poisons on the Wane.
The patriarchs took no mercury, n i bismuth, no io
dine, no bromide of potassium, no strychorfa, no qui
niue. Happy old gentlemen ! they did not even kinsr
of the existence of these “specifics,’' ami yet
they lived until it seemed as if Death hud forgotten
them. Their medicines were herbs and roots. They
have left this fact on record, and the world seems to be
now taking note of it and returning to the first princi
ples of medication. Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters, tie
pufest and most efficacious vegetable restorative ot
the day, is also the most popular. Thousands of per
sons who only a few years ago believed implicitly in
all the poisons which figure in the pharmacupia,nmr
pronounce this paltable tonic and alterative an all-
sufficient remedy for dyspepsia, nervous debility, con
stipation, bilious complaints, headache, intermittent
fevers, and all the ordinary dis’nrbances of the stom
ach, the liver, the discharging organs and the brain.
The time is not far d stant wheu most of Do- powerful
and venomous drugs now so recklessly admiuistereii
by practitiouers of the “heroic" school, in eases that
might easily be controlled by milder treatment, will be
utterly discarded by all philosophical physicians. As
it is, tiie thinking public, who are generally ahead of
the professionals, have already put the dangerous pre
paration aside and adopted Hustetter's Bitters in their
stead as a safe aud excellent household medicine,
adapted to almost every ailment except (he organic
and deadly contagious diseases- For more than twen
ty years this famous restorative and preventative has
been annually strengthening its hold upon the public
confidence, aud it uow lakes the lead of every adver
