THE medical revolution which commenced years ago with the gradual disuse ot blood-letting, salivation, drastic purgatives, and powerful opi ates, goes bravi ly and gloriously on. Every day the sick grow wiser. They are no longer willing to open their mouths, shut their eyes, and take whatever the doctors are pleased to prescribe, without inquiry. They want to know' tho na ture. of the medicines they are desired to swal low, and demand to have the mysterious Latin lingo ot the profession translated into plain En glish. Ihe Invalid World understands nt last that VIGOR is the great antagonist ot disease. The treble decline t,, lie utter.y prostrated by deplet ing pills and potions, and turning from such momlicaments with loathing, judiciously place their trust iu a remedy which combines with the properties of an Alterative those of a pure and viioh some Tunic and Restorative. It is now about twelve years since this grand desideratum was introdijo*. 1 under the name of PLANTATION BITTERS, and from that time to the present its progress has 1) eii without a parall 1 in the history of proprietary medieilies. With the spirit oi the sugar cane the most nutricious of all stimulants for its basis, and medicated solely with the juices and extracts of rare vegetable specifics, such as (Jalisaya Bark, the best known Tonic that the world produces, and which makes it by all odds the most unobjectionable invigorant, corrective and general alterative that has evei been placed by science within the reach of the sick, the suffering, and the despondent. Hence it has overleaped all competition, and Plantation Bitters is to-day the most popular Tonic on eith er side of the Atlantic. Mexican Mustang Liniment. FOR MAN AND BEAST.

It bec<mics a matter of import ance tli -n to secure the boat. The merits of the Mexican Mustang Liniment are well known throughout the habitable world.

Tho Grand Council of Georgia, or ganized in Atlanta, Nov. 30th, 1872, passed the following resolution; “That tho Executive Committoe bo instructed to issue an address to the Temperance people of Georgia, whether organized or not.” In the discharge of the duty thus assigned, the undersigned Jmowing tho great interest that prevails the .State at the present time, in the Temperance Reform, deem it best that | this address be chiefly explanatory of | past, proceedings and present purposes. : Upon July 4th, of tho present year, a ! council of Temperance was held in | Chattanooga, Tenn., looking to the con j solidation of all temperance orders j throughout the .South under anew ■ name, with new laws and new ritualis ; tic ceremonies, upon a white basis and that exclusively. The members pledged themselves to work faithfully to secure such a result, and Council adjourned ! without tho accomplishment of anything 1 definite. Some labored hard, and still ! continue to labor true to their pledge, ! to make the movement a success, while others holding prominent positions in the several organizations which they represented, dismissed the matter from their minds, and unintentionally it may )>e, used their influence against such un iou. Upon 27th Nov., the Council met again at the Banjo place composed of representatives from different organiza | tions of Georgia aud Tennessee. This j time they did something more. Titov < dopted a basis of union. The substance j of that kasis is only white persons are elligilile to membership. That each Grand Lodge is supreme iu the regula tion of its business and its laws. That nothing sectarian, politcal or prolixity is to be allowed in any degree, aud the pledge to forbid everything that con tains alcohol, without specifications. Ev eiy subordinate council to consist of two, and oflly two degrees. “An initia tory degree, in which tho pledge is binding only during membership, and a higher degree, with a lifetime pledge of total abstinence. Tlie fii'st is the work ing degree. Upon this basis the Grand Council of Georgia was organized,adopt ed a constitution and elected its officers provisionally. Tlie Nona of Temperance in our state are pledged to our move ment ; and the Knights of Jericho, we hope and believe, will also unite their strength with ours, while many Lodges , of Good Templars arc only awaiting for ' the tocsin to sound. This is tho blast that is intended to bring the armies into line! Let it ringßike tho notes from a silver bugle, clear, distinct and full. The Grand Council meets in Macon, January Bth, 1873, for the purpose of consolidating with every order in the State,upon tho basis of the Temperance Union. Let every Good Templar Lodge that is in sympathy with this movement and intends to moyp, mpyp pqw. Vote yourselves out of your organization. Use'your present rituals temporarily, and send up your delegates without fail. Send the name of the delegate to Bro. W. E. H. Searcy, at Griffin, Ga.,at once whether lie can come or not. Let ev ery Division of the Sons of Temperance, and every Lodge of the Knights of Jer icho, send their delegate up, and let ev ery community that feels an interest in this cause, organize a temporary Coun cil and send up delegates. A now constitution will be made, em bodying the same principles as the pres ent promised one, in the making of which each Order shall participate, and anew elegant ritual will he adopted, and new ollicors elected, by the consoli dated body. The time has come when wc must unite our strength in order to overcome such a terrible evil as that tigainst which we wage our warfare. Humanity, clashed and bleeding, calls earnestly for help. Lot us not trifle away our time, nor exhaust our ener gies, on a single-handed conflict; but let us stand together side by side, and firmly face the fyd The jypynds of the demon upon tho hearts and souls of men must be healed, and Georgia re- deemed from the power of the curse.

Curious Statistics of Marriage. To people of a statistical rather than a sentimental turn, the mathematics of marriage in different countries may prove an attractive theme of meditation. It is found that young men from fifteen to twenty years of age marry young wo men averaging two or three years older than themselves, but if thoy delay fer riage until they are twenty to twenty five years old, their spouses average a year younger than themselves ; and tnencu forward this ditiereaco steadily increases, till in extreme old age on the bridegroom’s part it is apt to be enor mous. The inclination of octogenarians t° w °d misses in their teens is an every day occurrence, but it is amusing to find in the love-matches of boys that the statistics hear out the satires of Thack erv and Balzac, rigain, the husbauds of young women aged twenty and under iia erage a little above twenty-five yearn, and the inequality of age diminishes thenceforward, till for women who havo reached thirty the respective ages are equal ; after thirty-five years, women, like men, marry those younger than ! themselves, the disproportion increasing j with age, till at fifty-five it averages niiq* ! years. | The greatest number of marriages for | men take place between the ages of 1 twenty and'twenty-five in England, be tween twentyfive and thirty in Franco, ami between twentyfive and thirty-five in Italy and Belgium. Finally, in Fuq gory the number of individuals who mar ry is 1 1 in a thousand each year ; in England, it is 64 ; in Denmark, 59 ; in I ranee, 57, the city of Baris showing 53; in the netherlands, 52; in Bclgiqpi, 43; in Norway, 36. Widowers indulge jn second marriages three or foqr timas as often as widows. For example, in Eng land (laud of Mrs. Bardoll) there are 60 marriages of widqwers against 21 of widows ; in Belgium Uiero wo 48 to 16; in France, 40 to 12. Old Mr. Weller’s paternal advice, to “beware of the wid ows,” ought surely to be supplemented by a maxim to beware of widowers..— Lipjnncott’a Magazine. Never many, said a cynical old bache lor, but if you must make a fool of your self marry a woman with no relatives. Hipporhinophlegiuatoblennoclastaia r guiins is the last name for it.
