The bridal party came in town to j the residence of Dr. G. W. Holmes, where everything was in readiness to give them an elegant reception, and where a large number of their friends had assembled to offer their congratu lations. This is by far the most ele gant affair of the season, including the rich waiter of cake and other delica cies of which we were made the grate ful recipient. We are pleased to chron icle the success of the matrimonial i hopes of our friend, the Doctor, ami we hope that his now golden prospects may never be blasted. Dr. Holmes is j a rising physician of this city, and though comparatively young is already numbered among the first of his pro fession in Rome.

The startling drawback on nearly all me dicinal agents has ever been that in their process of purgation and purification they have also debilitated the system. To obvi ate this difficulty physiciius have long sought for an agent that would PURGE, PURIFY & STRENGTHEN AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME. Their research has at last been rewarded by a discovery which fully realizes the for.dest desires of the medical faculty, and which is ju.-tiy regarded as the most im portant triumph that Pharmacy has ever achieved. This important desideratum is DR. TUTTS VEGETABLE LIVER PILL. Which nurify the blood and remove all corrupt humors and unhealthy accumula tions from the body, and yet produces no weakness or lassitude whatever, but on the contrary tones the stomach, invigorates the body during the progress of the operation. They unite the heretofore irreconcilable qualities of a Strengthening Purgative and a Pulufying Tonic. Dr- Tutt's Pills are the most active and searching medicine in existence. They at once attack the very root of diseases, and their action is so prompt that in as hour or two after they are taken the pa tient is aware of their good effects. They may be taken at any time without restraint of diet or occupation ; they produce neither nausea, griping or debility, and as a fam ly medicine they have no rival. Price 25c a box.

It is specially adapted to constitutions “worn down” aud debilitated by ihe warm weathet of Spring and Summer, when the blood is not in circulation, consequently, gathering impurities from sluggishness and imperfect action of the secretive organs, and is manifested by Tumors, Eruptious, Blotches, boils, Pustules, Scrofula, &c. When weary and languid from overwork and dullnes-, drowsiness and inertia take the place of ener gy an I vigor, the sys’em needs a Tonic to build it up and help the vital forces to regain their recuperative power. In lie heat of Summer frequently the Liver at:d Spleen do not properly perfojtn thetr functions; the Tterine and Urinary organs are inactive, producing weakness of the stomach ami intestines and a predispo sition tn bilious derangement.

KELLOGG, 18 Platt-st., New York Sold by drnggist-. Sole agent for ilie United States. Price One Dollar per bottle. GETTYSBURG KATALYSINE WATER. The United States Dispensatory.— the authorized record of our Materia Mcdi ca—classes this water with the most re nowned of the Alkaline or Carbonated Springs of Europe. It far excels any other known in its self-preserving properties. It does not deteriorate by bottling and keep ing. While we believe it will be difficult if at all, to find a well-authenticated cure of chronic disease by any other natural miner al water away from its source, thousands of the most remarkable cures have been effected by the Katalysine Water after it had been bottled and sent from the spring. Certainly it is not claimed for any other mineral water in the Old or New World the power to dissolve the urates or so-called chaik stones in the body or on the limbs and joints. This the Gettysburg Kataly sine Water has done in hundreds of instan ees. Gout, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Dyspep sia, Gravel, Diabetes. Kidney and Urinary diseases generally have yielded to its influ ence. It has restored muscular power to the Paralytic, cured Abdominal Dropsy, and given healthy action to the torpid Liver. Chronic Diarrhoea, Piles, Constipation, Asthma, Bronchitis. Catarrh, Diseases of the Skin, General Debility and Nervous Prostration from mental and physical ex cesses, have all disappeared under the in fluence of this great MEDICINE OF NATURE It is a powerful antidote to the effects of exce--ive eating or drinking. It corrects the stomach, promotes digestion and relieves the head almost immediately. Pamphlets containing a history of the Spring, analysis of the water, reports from eminent Physicians and medical writers, together with well-attested cures and testi monials from distinguished citizens will be furnished and sent by mail on application to Whitney Bros., Gen’l Agents, 221 South Front St, Philadelphia.
