A huge number of the citize s of the county being in Marietta on Tuesday, a public meet ing was called, the proceedings of which will be found in the Advocate. The expression of opinion in favor of a reduction of the Legisla ture by the Convention at its next session was unanimous. If the objection that lias been urg d, that the delegates to the Uonventi -n were not elected for this object, should have the effect of inducing the Convention to refer its action upon the question of rediiet'cn ba> k to the people, without doubt an overwhelming majority' of the voters of the .State would rat - fy the act redueuig the number of members. —afl .• ■« M The Fresliet.

Evil, is a con? ' ituiional disease, a eorroption pf the blood, by wliicii this liuid becomes and poor. B i. ;; in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out in disease on any part, of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofu ,. lous taint is variously caused Ly mercurial disease, low living, disordered or unhealthy food, impure I air, filth and filthy habits, the depi<;-ssing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. What ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitu tion, descending “from parents to children unto the j third and fourth generation indeed, it seems to I be tiic rod of Him who says, “ I will visit the I ; iniquities of the fathers upon their children.” Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tuber cles ; in the glands, swellings: and. on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from serofulizi-.s complaints, but they have far less power to withstand the attacks of other diseases; con sequently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still ren dered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which decimates the human family has its crig n directly in this scrofulous contamina tion ; and many destructive diseases of the liver, ■ kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; tlicir persons arc invad d by this lurking infection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and invigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Buch a medic? ic we supply in AY HIT’S Coiiipaii’id Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where pre vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from the most active remedials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the re. cue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affections which arise from it, such as Eruptive and Skin Diseases, St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter and Salt ' | Riiei'm, Scald Head, Ringwop.m, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and, indeed, all Complaints arising riioM Vitiated or Impure Blood. The popular belief in “ impurity of the blood” is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. 'Die particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital iluid, without which sound health is impossible in con taminated constitutions. Ayer’s Cathartic Pills, F6R all the purposes of a fairly physio, arc so composed that disease within the range of their I action can rarely withstand or evade them. Their pen etrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of those properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored Ly a remedy at once so simple and inviting. Not only do they cute flic Cvcry-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below mimed is pleased to furnish gratis tny American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use in the follow ing complaints: CosticenCss, Heartburn, Headache, arising jrom disordered stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Vain in and Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, l.oss of Appetite, Jaundice, and other kindred com plaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruc tion of its functions. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OF Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in ad vanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and sb numerous arc the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons publicly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate dis eased of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues arc known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing (ind dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afllietcd they can never forget, and produced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.

I MISCELLANEOUS. HOSTETTteRS STOMAGHBiT TEES. The proprietors nml rnandfnctnrers of HOS TETTER’S CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT TERS can appeal with perfect, confidence to pliysiciansand citizens generally of the United States, because the article has attained a repu tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will speak more powerfully than volumes of bare assertion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit ters for the last year amounted to over a half million bottles, and from its manifest steady increase in times past, it is evident that during the coming year the consiimpiion will reach near one million bottles. This immense amount could never have been sold but. for the rare medicinal properties contained in the prepara tion, ami the sanction of the most prominent physicians in those sections of the country where the article is best known, who not only recommend the Bitters to their patients, but tile ready nt all times to give testimonials to its ellicacy in all cases of stomachic derangements and the diseases resulting therefrom. This is nota temporary popularity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way of triun petitig the qualities of the Bitters, bpt a solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is destined to be ns enduring ns time itself. Hosteller’s Stomach Bitters have proved a Godsend to regions where fever and ague and various other bilious complaints have counted their victims by hundreds. To be able to state confidently that the “Bitters” are a certain cure for ihc Dyspepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors a source of tm tilloyed pleasure. It removes all morbid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood, and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous system, giving it that tone ami energy indispensable for ilia restoration of health. It operates upon the stomach, liver, ami other digestive organs, mildly but powerfully, and soon restores tlient Io a condition essential to the heallhy discharge of the functions of nature. Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per directions on the bottle, and they will find in it a stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining years, as it is pleasant (o the palate, invigorating to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvenating generally. IVc have the evi dence of thousands of aged men and women whishavc experienced the benefit of using this prej-nration while suffering from stomach de rangements and general debility ; acting under the advice of physicians, they have abandoned ti'.l deleterious drugs nml fairly tested the merits of this article. A few words to the gentler sex. There are certain periods when their cares arc so harassing that many ot them sink under the trial. The relation of mother ami child is so absorbingly lender, that the mother, especially if she be young, is apt to forget her own health in her extreme anxiety for her infant. Should the period of maternity arrive during the summer season, the wear of body ami mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a necessity for a stimulant, to recupe rate the energies of the system, and enable the mother to bear up under her exhausting trials ami responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigora tors that receive the endorsement of physi cians, becaufc it is agreeable to the taste as Well ns, certain to give it pciiniuicnl increase of bodily strength. All those pei sons, to whom we have particu larly referred above, to wit: sufferers from i fever nml ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, I dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and i ail diseases or deratigemelils of the stomach, > superaur.uated invalids, persons of sedentary occupation, ami nursing mothers, will consult their own physical welfare by giving to Hos tetter’s Celebrated Stomach Bitters n triab CAUTION.—Me caution the public against using any of the ninny imitations or counter feits, but ask for Hostetter’s Ciii.f.i’.uatiiD Stomach Bitteiis, and see that each bottle has the words “Dr. J.
