Harrison. Cotton.—Good cotton brought yesterday Attention! Sir Knights.— The regular Month ly Conclave of Wm. Tracey Gould Commandery, No. fi, K. TANARUS., will be held at the Asylum this (Tuesday) evening. Business of Importance will be presented for consideration. Good News. —We are advised that President Wadley is inspecting ibe M. & W. It. K in person, and minutely. Tbia is good news. There it, and. bat been for some time, “ a screw loose some where,” and wt have no doubt he will find it. >*< Bbut Up.— -The city barbers are the sole occu pants of the old Ward building, opposite the hotel. They atill stick to their old quarters, but will soon have to find others, as the building Is to be de molished. Tax Bono Proposition. —ln order that our readers may distinctly understand the proposition of Col. Bneed, on the bond question, we give it In full as published by the Atlanta Bun of the 11th inat. Lunatic.— On Wednesday Miss Lncy Hart, of this county, waa placed In the State Lunatic Asy lam. Sheriff McCune informs as she enjoyed the trip to Milledgeville, and entered the Institution contentedly Hioh Waters.— From Mr. Bloodworth w# learx that the Towallgaat High Tails was higher •n Sunday last than it baa been known for many years. A small portion of the dam was washed out, but the injury will not hinder the regular operations of the mills. Huge.—The Barneaviile Patriot says onr friend R. Rutherford, of Culloden, “is one of the most powerfully devuioped mnacular men in these parts. He lilts with ease fifteen hundred hundred pounds.” He is powerful, we know ; but woa’t the Patriot fall a few ? Thanes— To Mr. P. H. Miller—who has Just re turned from Florida—for fine specimens of the orange and lemon growth of the land of flowers. To the Phi Kappa Society of the State Univor alty, for an invitation to be present at the Anni versary Celebration, on the 22d Inst. Thb !?oor House.— On Saturday last Dr. R. L. Roddy was appointed Physician for the inmates ol the Poor House, lor the remainder of the year. The bids made were as follows: Dr. R. V. Wright SBOO cash, or $875 County scrip; Dr. B. F. Rndisill S9OO cash ; Dr. R. L. Roddy, $lO5 cash. ** Organize! Organize! I —We have been re <ito announce that the Friends of Temper ance will meet at Masonic Hill, on Friday night, Feb. 21st, for the purpose of organising Forsyth Council No. 2, under the new Temperance ritual. The Charter has been secured, and officers for the enaning year will be elected at tbo meeting speci fied. Another Separation.— From the Telegraph and Messenger we loam that Mr. H. W. Bronson, who for about twenty-five years has been con nected with the Macon and Western railroad, and who for a considerable portion of the time has been Master of Transportation, has tendered his resignation. Mr. Bronson has been a faithful and efficient officer of the road, and his loss will be felt, provided he is not persuaded to alter his de termination to resign. The Jail.—Tbe inmate* of tbe county jail are only four In number, and all XV tbs. Tom Leary •nd Tom Lloyd, committed lor raps; Waab Tay lor for burglary, and auotber " geuuueuob color" for assault with iuteut to kill, make up tbe quar tette. They are now having a Jolly time—have plenty to eat and nothing to do. Their future status will probably be decided by the juries uext week. New Improvements.—ln addition to the pro posed Improvements by Messrs. Pys and Wilder, on the burnt districts—which have already been ct ntracted for—we learn that the old Ward and llogau bulldiuga, ou tbe North side of the public square, will be torn down this Spring and a hand some brick block, containing six capacious store rooms, erected daring tbe summer. The comple tion ot these Improvements will leave little unoc cupied ground around the square. Superior Cocet.— The regular Bprlng term of Monroe Superior Court will open ou Monday next. The lists of Jurors have already been published in The Advsbiisbe. The new cases docketed are □ot as numerous ss in msny previous terms, but there is a sufficiency of old and knotty cases to occupy tbe attention of tbe bench and bar all tbe time that can be spared from other duties. Iu addition the great county caae will be heard, as it was again postponed until the regular term in the county, on Thuraday last. Livhlt.— The (air weather experienced last week brought out the young people of Forsyth, Friday evening, and the first general pleasure ride of the season was the result. We noticed several fine “ turn outa "on the streets; and It was re marked that the drivers all seemed so well pleased with their companions as to have become oblivious of the (act that they were traveling at a “ 2:40 ” rate. On reflection, and after remembering we too were young, once, we came to the conclusion that it was all right, and wished all parties full enjoyment ot the ride. Valentor Party.— The young ladies and gents, in the vicinity of High Falls, observed Bt. Valentine’s day by assembling fora ‘‘sociable’’ at the ball of the Geod Templars on Friday eve ning last. The idea it a sensible as well as novel one. We learn a large crowd was in attendance, refreshments were provided in abundance, and every thing passed off pleasantly—“ as merry as a marriage bell "—The distribution of “ living and moving" valentines by lot gave general satisfac tion aa well at affording much amusement. For syth was represented by s small delegation, who returned satisfied with all their friends around High Falls and the rest of mankind. Increasing. —Since the announcement of a re duction of the subscription price of Ths Adver tiser, we have received gratifying additions to onr subscription list, and from all parts of the ooanty expressions in favor of the change, of the most encouraging character, have reached us. We have reason to believe thgt the list in Mon roe county will be doubled, as It ooght to be, and will be it onr friends aid us in the manner many of them have volunteered. At the reduced rate there is not a reader in Monroe who cannot afford to subscribe and pay for a good local news paper ; Indeed, no family can be without it Thb ASTiiTiui should be in the bands of alt, and we hope lta friends will endeavor to give It this general circulation. Farmers’ Uranus in Mobrob.— Several of the planters of Monroe have, we learn, taken the nec essary steps to establish a Farmers’ Grange in Monroe, subordinate to the State Grange. A char ter has been applied for, and it is expected tbe as sociation will organise in a few days, with Dr. J. S. Lawton as Master. To many of our readers ibis will be anew thing, and an application of its workings and purpo ses cannot fail to be Interesting. Dnring the session of the agricnltnral convention at Augusta last week, something of an explanation was given by Dr. Aiken, of South Carolina, who stated that the “ Order of Patrons of Industry” had Its origin with a Washington clerk, who was sent to tbe coast of South Carolina to arrange for the recovery of lands on some amicable basis, which had been seized and occupied by the negroes, before and after the surrender. He returned to headquarters thoroughly disgusted with the Southern situation, and was the founder of the order he represented in this country. It had previously existed in Wales. The order of the Patrons of Industry has three •übdiviaions: Ist. The subordinate Grange, which consists of not less than nine members, four of whom may be women. 2d. The State Grange, made up of subordinate Granges, and 3d. The National Grange, which la composed of representatives from the State Granges. Wom en are eligible, and belong to all of them. The grand object of the Association ia to bring the consumer and producer in immediate contact. This is effected by establishing absolutely the cath basis n their intercourse. No credit on either side is the law of the order, and a deviation from tbia rule is never sanctioned by tbe Grange. The presiding officer of the Grange is called - Master, and tbe State Grange is composed of these Masters, and the National Grange of delegates from the State. The entrance fee is three dollar* for men and fifty cents for women. There are 2,000 Granges in the United States These organ izations enter into correspondence with manufac turers and wholesale dealers, and bny their sup plies of every kind without the intervention of middle men, and st the lowest minimum prices. The saving is immense, and at once this patron age is courted on all sides. Thus, in the article of wagons and the Watt plow, the parties filling the orders of the Granges, will be forced to increase their capacity of production to meet the demand. In addition to these pecuniary advantages, the Grange is a social and moral Institution. Month ly meetings are held, and questions relating to agriculture, and the material and moral interests of the farmer are fully discussed. None are ad mitted to membership who are not induetrious and blameless in reputation. Any member of the society who wishes to make a purchase, bauds the money to the Secretary of the Grange, who stamps the order with Us seal, which at once places it above suspicion In any market in the country. The presence of ladies, tbe wives of the members, makes the whole sys tem popular, chaste and pure, while the oath of secresy gives value and cohesiveness to the or der. Without this regulation, neither masonry or any other earthly organization could survive but for a limited period. Fifteen Granges will bo established in Georgia without delay, when the State Granges will be formed. We shall therefore soon see the institu tion in practical operation, when all can jndge as to whether organization among tbe farmers will work to their advantage as ia expected. Retirid.—On the 10th Inst, the official connec tion of Captain A. J. White, as President of the Macon and Western railroad, ceased. The road now being part of the Central, the office of Presi dent is abolished. In this severance of a long and intimate con nection with the Macon and Western, and associa tion with the citizens and business men along its line, Ex-President White will carry with him the best wishes of all. Asa railroad manager he had no superior, and tbo fact was attested by tbe suc cessful conduct of a heavy business during a series of years, attended with fewer accidents and delays than can be shown by tbo record of any road in the South, of equal length. The loug continued success of the road, both in this respect and the pecuniary results to stockholders, was mainly due to the watchfulness and prudence of the Execu tive. Mr. White, we learn, will give his attention to prosecuting the new road from Griffin westward. It has already been completed a short distance beyond the Chattahoochee, and the energy of Capt,. W. will speedily complete it. In the mean time his favorito home, Milner, will continue to receive his attention. >*, . Personals.— Rev. W. C. Wilkes, of Bpaldlng, Ga., is again among his old friends and neighbors in Foisytb. He reports his institution in a flourishing condition, and prosperous. Dr. A. C. Hornady aud iamily have again located in Forsyth. The educational advantages of Forsyth, added to the lame of the locality for health, caused this acquisition. On Tuesday last Capt. R. W. Hogan closed bia winter campaign in the South, and lelt for business in New York. In either position he is a host. Mr. I. W. Thomas bid good bye to his Forsyth triends ou Sunday morning, and lelt, ticketed for New York. Mr. Thomas will soon be ready to greet his many friends in the mercantile metro polis. Mr J. W. Lake, our efficient Railroad Agent, ia quite 111. Capt. A. H. Sneed ia officiating at tbe Depot. Jndge D. Sanford is also qnite sick. Mrs. 8. Is Improving, but is still confined to her room. An Etb Sorb.— The condition of the fence around the public square is eliciting condemna tion from the public, and we have frequently been asked to call tbe attention ot the authorities to it. Avery trifling outlay will place tbe enclo sure in as good couditiou as it was before the fire. We suggest, therefore, that whoever of our new officials may have control of the public properly, shall cause tbe raally insignificant repairs that are necessary to be made before court assembles on Monday next. It has been neglected too long already, yet there Is ample time to repair all that is necessary before strangers now have an oppor tunity of seeing that which might serve to con vince them that there was no pride of locality in Forsyth or Monroe county. Our Reading Columns.— We invite attention to the large amount of reading matter in onr col umns this morning. We have dropped all adver tisement* that were not remunerative at full rates, and shall refuse such hereafter, in order to give our readers as much space as possible. Our de termination is to render The Advertiser deserv ing of a large list of paying subscribers, and believe they will be secured. It not it certainly shall not be the fault of the Publishers. Good.— The Savannah News gives anew shading to the accident to a party of Monroe youngsters, we reported last week. It says: The members of a serenading party In Monroe county are now engaged in searching themselves for squirrel shot, with which they were peppered by a negro who took them for Ku-klux. The Patriot thinks lands in Pike are rising in value, and of a late transfer says: “ One hundred and ninety acres of land was sold last Saturday by W. H. Keifer for $4,825. Pike lands are rising in value. Before the war these lands would have been high at sl9 per acre. Now they are valued at $25 per acre.” At Wore.—The Atlanta Herald commends the vim of onr next Congressman by saying: Hon. J. C. Freeman, is busily engaged in look ing after the interests of the district He will recommend no bad or unworthy man to office. He has an Augean stable to clean and we feel confident that he will perform his work. We dif fer with him politically but confide in his hon esty. Exciting. —The excitement ot the past week was an organ grinder, with a number of wonder fully well trained birds, all of which performed well as directed. Everybody took a look, and the master of ceremonies gathered in no ama.li amount of stamps. Th* Sabbath. —Owing to the inclemency of the weather on Sabbath morning the congregations in tbe cbnrcbe* were very small. The service* were conducted in the Methodist Church by Rev. J. Lewis, tbe Presiding Elder of tbe District. He discoursed for a short time on the text “ God is Lave; and he that dweileth in love dwelleth in God and God in him 1 John, lv. 18. At night tbe services were condncted by the pastor. His text was chosen from the gospel of St. John, xiv. 6—“ lam the way.” He showed his congregation that Jesus Christ is the way to the Father and the only way. “That no man cometh unto the Father but by Him." He, as the Great Teacher, taught the way to eternal life per* fectly. That He Is the way and the only way, as tbe Sacrifice and as High Priest of fallen humanity. He not only teught the way perfectly snd prepared for ue “anew and living way” by his atonement, as our High Priest, but He led the way by bis ex* ample and commands us to follow Him. At this point the preacher showed in whet Christ’s exam* pie, to us, consists, and how we are to follow Him, and the necessity of doing so in order to find eternal life. So that if any man desires to be saved he must obey the teachings of the Master; he must rely upon His atonement for pardon, and follow this example of universal obedience to the will of the Father—then he shall be saved. There were no services at the Presbyterian •hureh Babbath morning. Rev. Dr. Jones filled tbe pulpit at night, discoursing from I Kings, xxL 18. Rev. Dr. Hillyer occupied the pnlpit of the Baptist church, and lectured upon the Parable of the Husbandmen and Vineyard, forcibly present ing the negligence of professing Christians In aid ing the missionary cause. At night Rev. Wm. C. Wilkes conducted the services, discoursing from the second chapter of Daniel. m A Cheap Greenhouse.— The agricultural edi tor of the Mobile Register says: Rev. Dr. Cox, of Citronelle, has put an experiment to the test this i winter that is certainly worth reading about and i remembering. He dug a hole into the ground measuring about four feet in depth, four feet in width, and six teet in length. Into this, resting upon low benches along the sides, he placed bis tender plants and flowers, and over them, at the surface of tbe ground, he placed * canvas cover ing, stretched upon a wooden frame, aud affixed with hinges so that it might be raised or lowered at pleasure, as the prevailing weather demanded. His plants have kept to perfection through all this severe weather, and now, at this writing, his geraniums and other tender species are in full bloom, and show a better thrift than the best specimens of a well-kept Btove bouse. After this we of the lower South have no longer an excuse for winter without a hot house. The cost of one made on the doctor’s plan is hardly nominal. Common brown sheeting is all we re quire for the covering—in the doctor’s experi ment he used simply an old bed sheet. Judge Hall.— After observation the Griffin Star of the 14th speaks in terms of strong praise of Jndge Hall, as follows: Onr new Judge has been holding court here for the last two weeks, and we are glad to say he is giving general satiafactilon to the bar and citizens. He presides with dignity; dispatches business rapidly, and decides all lege] points readily. He seems determined to have the criminal law exe cuted and violations duly punished. We are sat isfied he will make a good officer and we are glad to see it as we always like to 6ee young men rise in the world, and we are ready and willing to do all we can to help them. The above are not only our views of the new Judge, but they are the sentiments of almost the entire community. Died: In Macen, ou the 29th ult., Mr. Geo. Slaughter, aged 30 years. Mr. Slaughter was formerly associated with Mr. Palethorpe in business in Forsyth, but retired a few mouths since. Iu this community he made many friends. His business in Macon was conducted with an energy and promptness which secured him an enviable position in busi ness circles. His death was sudden and unexpect ed. After visiting tbe eatly trains, on his return home he was visited with a fainting sickness, and in a few hours was a corpse. He left a wife and two children to mourn his departure. In their grief they have the sympathies of many friends of their “ loved snd lost.” ♦* - 1 ■ To Correspondents.— We suggest to the many gentlemen In Monroe and elsewhere who have heretofore so ably contributed to The Adver tiser, that itslcolumns are still open for articles discussing questions of public interest, and com munications are respectfully invited. The only requisite is that matter for publication shall be couched in language respectful to all, and the author’s name be sent in. We are confident there are many gentlemen whose opinions would have weight with the general public, and would be pleased to bear from them. Gardening.— But little gardening has been done iu this vicinity, much less than usual at this season. The winter has been extremely unfavora ble. As bad weather cannot last always, and something more seasonable must occur, we ex pect to see everybody busily at work as soon as the weather will permit. Forsyth hag come noted gardeners, who rarely if ever fail In making a good garden, and although they are now behind a little, the exercise of a little more energy at the proper time will bring them up. The World almanac.—” The World Alma nac," lor 1873, issued by tbe New York World publishers, has been received. This is one of the most complete statistical publications issued by the press of the metropolitan cities, and ia well worth its coat to every politician aud business man in the country. Twenty*flve cents will Becure a copy, postage paid, or $1 00 five copies. Address The World, 35 Park Row, New York. Girl Shot.— Yesterday a little colored girl aged six years, daughter of Abb. Watts, was accident ally shot and seriously wounded. The mother had taken a pistol from nnder a pillow, and handed It to an older girl with instructions to place it in the trnnk. While handling it the weapon exploded, and the ball struck the younger child just above the breast bone, aud entering, it is supposed cut the wiudpipe. The wound is a serious one. Hbayt Rains.— During Friday night, Saturday and Saturday night, thia section was visited by the heaviest rain storm of the season. The rain fell uninterruptedly and Old Sol kept hid until Bnnday. Most of the small streams could not be forded Saturday evening, and we learn Wilson’s bridge over the Towaliga, whs nnder the flood Sunday. Fixing O. —We notice a small force at work repairing the streets and walks, under the di rection of the Council. There are a few spots about town that need work sadly, and the au thorities will please the public by pushing the work energetically. In Season. —Dealers in groceries, etc., will find the card of Messrs. Chapman, Rucker and Cos., Atlanta, In this issue. This House Is represented by Mr. D. J. Proctor, one of themoet popular travelling agents in the South. Hardware.— The wholesale house of Messrs. Tommey, Stewart & Cos., presents a card to day This is one of the leading firms, in their line, in the Gate City, and we commend them to the notice of dealers. Rsal Estatb Transpxb.— We learn that Mr. E. M. Amos has purchased from Rev. W. C. Wilkes the store room on Main Street, opposite Thb Advertiser building, now occupied by K. M. Amos & Sons. Tnta. —ErLawshe, the old reliable jeweller of Atlanta, has a word to say. His old customers will ask no Indorsement of him or his business; others can call upon him with confidence. Getting Rradt.— Mr. 8. F. Wilder expects to leave for Hew York in a few days to select and purchase a full stock in the several branches of his basin ess. Selling On.—Mr. W. W. Anderson has told his stock of dry goods, and a half Interest in his Store House, to Mr. John A. Steele, of Cabaniae. P extensions.—Barnesville boasts of having been visited by a band of burglars last week. County Correspondence. Is it Truk*— Editor Advertiser: Id noticing passing events generally, I have formed som* conclusions; whether right or wrorg, I have my opinion of them, as do others. First, our Governor shall be obeyed, and su preme in his appointments as our Governor; and lo and behold! a Democrat at that Well, Bullock was once our Governor ; made his appointments, too, as he thought proper. And in both cases they appointed to office their specials. If in one instance right, it Is also right in the other. So here we are. Now my opinion is, in days past Governors were the representatives of the people and the State—not their favorites. Bo they made their appointments, and if their per sonal friends would not do, or fill the bill, some other would with credit to the State. Not him that stands up lo me I will to him, competent or not. If that is true Democracy I never knew it before. But as the negro said the bottom rail Is on top,” so it may be; I will leave it there now. Is not our much exalted Legislature acting ou the same principles * And with the same example before them could we expect anything better ? is not our Supreme Court fettered by such move ments ? Who are the beneficiaries of our great relief law * Is it the poor soldier from Virginia (as stated by our noble Senator a few days ago,) or is it tbe kid gloved gentry who were involved before the war, and would have swept all, to have can celled their indebtedness ? No ; tbe poor soldier is made their pry block to relieve their embarrass* ments, and lift them to office, while the soldier is benefited but little, as he has neither credit, old debts and less money. Such a system woulld have been considered a fraud in the “so called” dark ages. If this is the influence of Bullock’s reign, why has it not been repealed under the light of Democracy ? Is it not the true policy of individuals or gov ernments to decrease expenditures, and iuertsse the assets, to enable them to paj ? list this been done* No honorable, sane man, looking at the past, will wi’l be surprised at the present condi tion of the country, while indolence, extravagance and dishonesty has prevailed. If the fountains and springs are impure, may we not expect the miasma to exert it’s bane ful influence abroad? So much for a random shot with a crooked bow, half loaded, and no powder. Very respectfully, Luke. The New Orleans Times says: Some ingenious speculator has, we understand, been Imposing on the people of Georgia by distributing blank tickets to our approaching Mystic Crewe and King of the Carnival celebrations. As aet none of tha genuine ticeets have been districted, aue the blanks thus circulated will continue blanks to the bitter end. Whether as a hoax or a fraud, this blank ticket business is not creditable to its authors. The Princess of Wales set the fashion of great simplicity in her boys’ toilett—her fair, pretty little princes are always costumed with the Neat ness and quietness which are inseparable from ele gance and taste. A bright colored bow at their necks is the nearest approach to ornament their dresses ever add to their simple toilettes for any public appearance. By the Constitution of Saturday we find that General Toombs is so decidedly against the com promise that he desires a constitutional prohibi tion adopted. He is “ intense” on tbe subject, as he always is on any subject that he takes an inter est in. Hon. John Screven, of Savannah, follows in the wake of Ex-Governor Brown. The thriftiest woman lives at Niles, Michigan. She is worth $20,000, and yet bartered with the undertaker for one coffin for a dead child, and an other for one sick at the time. She took both at one time for the sake of saving a little ou the coßt. It is needless to say that the second child died. A Resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of twenty-one persons by the Gov ernor to consider the feasibility of consolidating the various colleges of the State with the State University, to report at the next session of the Legislature, has passed the Legislature. ■ iH '— The St. Petersburg Globe says : “ Those who believe that the Marchioness de Caux (Adelina Patti) is wealthy, are greatly mistaken. Nearly her whole fortune has been swallowed up by the creditors of her husband, who, when he married the lady, represented himself as a very wealthy man, but afterward turned out to be little better than a beggar.” We notice that the Senate, on motion of Mr Simmons, has passed an appropriation of SIB,OOO for 3000 copies of the code, purchased by the State from Judge Irwin. There is snug picking, almost a little fortune, for somebody, in that job. >t< One of the Washington specials to a contempo rary says “ the bill bridging the Mississippi river at Nashville was recommitted.” The geographical education ot that correspondent must have been acquired singularly. ———•* BBNATOB-Vice-President-Elect-Wilson has re signed his seat in the U. S. Senate, to take efl'ect on the 3d of March, one day before being inau gurated Vice-President of the U. S. He has been in the Senate tbirty-two years. A Paris paper draws a distinction between sin cere and insincere suicides, the former being those who really wish to get rid of life, and the latter those who do violence to themselves for the sake of gaining notoriety. The leading Spaniards don’t want a Republic One hundrea million francs were subscribed by a few of them, on the 14th, to aid Duke Da Mont pensier, in operating against the new movement. Dn Boissibrs, a wealthy French manufacturer of Indiana, has planted over 500,000 mulberry trees, and proposes to raise his own raw material when things get started to his liking. Thb North Georgia rivers are all full, and ser ious results are apprehended. The Tennessee was also high, at Chattanooga, and a heavy rise at Knoxville was reported. Applicants for admission to the North Geor gia College continue to pour in, and up to a late date no less than one hundred and fifty certificates have been issned by the Treasurer. Thb franking privilege, now doomed to go oat of existence on the first day of Jnly, was bom January 10, 1792, and is consequently in its eigh ty-second year. Gordon L.

Wht Endure What is Curable? “What can’t bo cured must be endured,” Bays the prov erb; but indigestion can be cured, and therefore it ia the merest stupidity to endure it. Dyspeptics have certainly a right to continue dyspeptics to the end of their days it they choose, but as it is not supposed that any human being prefers physi cal torment to ease and health, the probability is that if all sufferers from indigestion were con vinced that an abeolute, infallible remedy for their complaint existed, they would with one accord resort to it' We most emphatically declare that such a remedy does exist, and that its name is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. The record of its success extends over a period of twenty years, and it is fearlessly alleged that during the whole of that time it has never failed to afford permanent relief in any disorder or derangement of the stomach that was not organic, malignant, and in curable. The testimonials that go to establish this important fact can be coanted by the thousand. Stomach complaints that had been aggravated by a total disregard of all dietary rules, and inten sified and rendered chronic by medicinal treat ment or drastic purgation have in hnndreds of instances been cured within three months by the systematic use of this celebrated stomachic and alterative. It should be remembered that weak ness of the organs involves many other ailments. Biliousness, headache, nervous debility, spasms, palpitation of the heart, rush of the blood to the head, nausea, vertigo, and sleeplessness are among Its concomitants and resulta; and for all these the great vegetable tonic is a specific. It acts first upon the secretory and nervous systems and bow els, its general effect being always genial and beneficent A Warxixg. —There is no case of Con sumption that did not begin with a cough.
