ATLANTA, GEORGIA, AUGUST 10,1870,
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.
Fbhut, August 5, 1870
The Saute met pursuant tojidjournment,
and ru ealled to order by the PRESIDENT.
Alter prayer by the Rer. Dr. Prettyman,
the roll uae called and the journal of the
previous day waa read and approved.
Mr. HARRIS moved to taku up the special
order, which was the report of the Committee
in the case of the Capitol, Which has already
appeared in our columns.
The report wag read.
A message was received from the House
through Mr. Newton, their clerk.
Mr. HARRIS, moved the adoption of the
report and the resolution, he as Chairman of
the Committee was conversant with their pro
ceedings, and would make a few remarks.—
The motives of that Committee were the best
interests of the State, and largo as the Com-
mitiee was it was unanimous on the question.
He was aware that as usual the motives of the
Committee would bo impugned and the cry of
corruption would be raised, bnt they had
looked upon it as a purely financial measure.
lie spoke of the course taken by the city of
Atlanta, which he said was praiseworthy. Last
session they had proposed to offer them $100,-
000, but now the city had offered $130,000,
which the committee accepted, though there
were some who thought the city ought to pay
*$150,000. The next consideration was how
much should they pay for that property, and
they had concluded to give $380,000, includ
ing the furniture, fixtures and heating and
lighting apparatus, which had cost $76,000; of
which $54,600 had been advanced by the
State, and which would be refunded.
It was a settled thing that the Copitol would
remain in tho city of Atlanta. The building
now occupied by the State aria most suitable,
and if they stayed in it they would be tenants
for eight years. They now had an opportu
nity to close a contract that wonld give them
a building superior in accommodations to any
thing in the South. He spoke of the Capitol'
at Nashville, and said that the building in
Atlanta was superior in conveniences in every
respect. They wonld oi course take the ten
' acres of land offered by the city, on which they
could build in future, and the iUraRnre they
purchased in this building they could move
to another withont trouble or inconvenience.
The building in Nashville coat $2,900,000,
and they were getting a building superior to it
in all respects except that that building was of
stone and this of brick. The rooms and
stores not requited by the State would tent
out for from $14,000 to $16,000, which will
pay more than the interest on the bonds that
the State will issue to purchase the building,
in fact they wonld get the CepUol for nothing,
as at the end of ton years they could sell it
for more than they gave for it. As a financial
question it.was a good bargain; if anybody
could show that it eras not he wonld give it
up.
Mr. WALLACE moved an amendment, the
principal point of which was that thoy should
submit the matter to the countiy at the next
election.
He supported bis resolution by a speech, in
which he signed that it was no use buying the
Capitol building now when they eonld have
the use of it for nothing for the next eight
years.
Mr. CAMPBELL looked on this as a busi
ness question. Tho question of the location
of the Capitol was settled. The constitution
said that the Capitol should be in Atlanta.
He said if they purchased the building as pro
posed, they would make $20,000 in per cent-
age on bonds. As to tho building bang dan
gerous, he would risk it for a hundred years.
If the building eras purchased it would rojuiro
no tax, the rents would pay the interest on
bonds, and in lhct they would get it for noth
ing. It would tend to raiso the cre<tit of the
State abroad when it was known that the
bonds were taken at par at home.
Mr. GRIFFIN (21st), thought be saw some
thing rotten in the proposed arrangement Ho
eonld not realise the troth that it was a sound
financial operation. He eonld not see why
they should purchase. He was satisfied tho
capitol was located in Atlanta; that was not
the question; but could anyone guarantee that
if they did purchase tho building it wonld not
tall or be burned up before eight years ex
pired. The oat in the meal tub was that peo
ple were afraid that unless they did purchase
tliurapiiol, the people might remove it to an
other place; by that means they would
-shat * *
Jliil.S
They were afr aid
election the people would reverse their judg
ment. He failed to see the convenience of
the House. He would rather be in the old
City Hall. There were only two windows in
tho Senate Chamber; members had to go out
side to get a breath of air. The building was
reported unsafe on the streets; the walls were
cracked, and if they purchased it it would be of
a piece with all the robbing, plundering, and
thieving that had been earned on since they
met If they wanted a good Capitol—if they
wonld go to Stone Mountain and dig one out
he would help them, would vote with them to
any reasonable amount. If the Senators
would strip themselves of prejudice and ex
amine themselves into the question he
was sure there were not a dozen that wonld
vote far thin measure.
Mr. HIGBEE asked why all this talk about
corruption, why should that cry be >«ised
again on this question. Thu bnildiug exceeded
in conveniences any other he had seen. Fi
nancially, it was a safe investment The
building was put up by » man who was be
coming well known to Atlanta, and to Geor
gia, and in dns time he wonld be honored.—
The quest!os of moving the Capitol bud been
mooted for thirty years and it had been a con
test between Macon and Atlanta which should
have it and Atlanta had been seleotod by tbu
Convention which decided the question. As
to building a Capitol, the State was not pre
pared to do it at the present time, when they
were they would have ten acres upon which to
erect a building. There had been some bitter
ness existing on tho question, bnt he trusted
by the time a new capitol was bnilt these feel-
ceivcd for portions of the building not copied
by the State would amount to more than the
interest on the purchase money; it wonld be
an income of $5,000 or *10,000, certainly over
$5,000 more than the interest, and what wonld
that amount to in twenty years? Why instead
of having to pay any money, they would have
$100,000 in the treasury. Again, take the in
crease of value in property in Atlanta. He
had it from some of the best citizens of the
place, that property had increased since the
war ten per cent, per annum, bnt say it only
increased five per cent, then they could sell
the property at the end of twenty years, for
an amount that wonld pay off all the bonds
and put in the Treasury an amount equal to
tho original purchase money.
The speaker alluded to the opposition which
came from men who were jealous of having
the capitol buildings in Atlanta, and spoke of
what had been said of extravagance and cor
ruption- He feared sneh did exist in some
things, but on this matter be was not afraid
to record his vote and go before his constitu
ents, for he was backed by on array of facts
that wonld justify him.
After alluding to the proposition to appoint
one from the Senate and one from the House
to examine into the titles.
Mr. FAIN said be was more than gratified
at the conduct of the people of Atlanta. They
had come out in a manly, generona manner,
and liberal as they had always shown them
selves in this case, they had maintained their
character and wonld the Senate charge them
with fraudulent intent. They (the city) had
done as they had agreed.
Atlanta, said the speaker, is tho great Rail
road center of the State, ho might say of the
South and was fitted to be the Capitol be
cause it was accessible to all who wished to
transact any boainess with the Legislotare,
the Governor or any of the Executive Depart
ments. There wore many more rrgnmenls
he might adduce but what he hod said he
thought was plain enough for a way-taring
man to understand. Ho would vote for the
proposition as he thought it wcnld foster the
nest interests of tho State.
Mr. CANDLER opposed the motion; he
wanted the Capitol to stay in Atlanta; thought
the question was not on its merits, bnt was
moved np with railroad interests. There was
a debt of $54,000 dne the State, and they pro
posed to buy the Capitol building to collect
tbedebt; thought the building insecure; certifi
cates of its safety were made by interested
parties; there ought to have been outside men
engaged; they could bay the building if secure
in eight yean time as well as now.
Mr. NUNNALLY said it was apparent to
him that it was becoming the custom to bring
all the otside issues that could bo brought into
discussion in the Senate, not to influence the
Senators bnt to have its effect in the lobbies
and galleries. He had heard Mr. Candler
speak on this question before. In 18G9, ho
made probably the best speech that was made
in flavor of purchasing the Capitol made
on either side of the question .and he won
dered at the change in the Scnatorsviews.
Mr. NUNNALLY after speakingof the loca
tion of the Capitol in Atlanta, which he said
was a fixed tactisaid that Atlanta had fully com
plied with her obligations, and the promptness
with which she had done so but added lanrels
to her brow. She had come np nobly, and
extended to them a Capitol for their use for
ten years that was an honor to the city and
State, one that they eonld be proud of. It ex
ceeded in beauty and convenience the Capitol
at Nashville, which coot Tennessee $3,000,000.
It was better in every respect, except lliat it
was built of brick instead of stone. He bad
no donbt that it would stood twill every
voice that then beard him would be hushed in
the grave. They had heard of tho cracks in
the walls; be had convinced himself and
others that they were bat the crackings of
tlaster, and there was no necessity of the
lenators frightening themselves with the idea
that they wonld be killed here and save their
constituents the tionblo of patting them ont
of the way (alluding to one of Mr. Barn's ex
travagancies). As to the $54,000 that had
been advanced by the State, it was a legal
qnestion ax to who should pay it. The Legis
lature, the State had accepted and used the
furniture, and it was a grave question os to
whether they wore not liable, as there was
nothing iu the contract that said who was to
find the fomitnre for tho building.
As a financial operation it was sound policy
to pnroliase it, and the principal opponents to
the measure were men who had laud to sell
like the Senator from tho 34th, who perhaps
wonld like to seU a few acres for a Capitol, or
some personal enemies of the parties interested.
They, the Senators, must not look outside,
tbey should look to tbs interest of Georgia.
The building was in bis estimation was worth
$300,000, and what would the purchase money
iu State bonds amount to if they paid $250,-
000, in twenty year bonds. At a discount of
10 per cent. itwonldamonnttonbont$179,000,
and if they eonld purchase tbs boild’ng for
that it wonld be a good financial operation.
If they waited eight years they, wonld loose ing Company of Taylor county. Passed,
the city $170,000, for, by that time the city” ,p ~ ™ 1 — —* *- - 1I —r r
wonld have paid all that it contracted to pay,
and there was no money in the Treasury to
bnild a new one.
Mr. WELLBORN moved to extend the time
of the session until the question was disposed
of
to.
iugs wooldbeossoaged.
. BURNS spoke against the measure, the
first port of his speeeh was, as ho confessed,
nonsense, the aeoond pert failed to impress
anyone except a taw individuals, possibly, in
the galleries. Ho was snoeeeded hy
Mr. FAIN, who said he bad listened to the
harangne of Mr. Bums and also Mr. Griffin,
and both gcnticmeo, while speaking strongly,
had tailed to give one single reason for the
opinions they held. This measure was op
posed by men who opposed the removal of
tho Capitol, and for the same reasons they op
posed that, thoy now oppose the purchase of
the bnildiug used as a Capitol, and in order
to addxWeight to their argument they cried
corruption, and said the building was unsafe.
They nod not stated a single reason for their
ho charging.
As to the safety of the building, they hod the
opinion of some of the finest architects of the
State that it was safe and sound and os per
manent as a building of ita weight eonld be,
and they who said differently had not brought
forward one idea to sustain their position.
He maintained that tho building was safe
and sound, likely to Stand for one hundred
yean as firmly as it did to^lay, and there was
no Senator there who would say differently
w hen he got all the information on the sub
ject
He proposed to meet any tact bee to face
as he bad always done, and when be stated a
proposition be was ready to give his reasons
font
Mr. FAIN then went into the financial part
of the qnestion. He said it was a settled tact
that tho original building cost $83,000; Mr.
Kimball had paid $40,000 for it, and hod ex
pended on it $174,000, while tho fixtures, fur
niture, lighting and heating apparatus had
coat $76,000; Mr. Kimball was entitled to a
reasonable profit; he thought that gentleman
should have $83,000 or even say $40,000, he
bad paid 5170,000, and of the 76,000 it had
eost to complete the building, the State had
famished $54,000; which it was proposed to
C y back, which wonld leave him $288,000
■ the building; their bends wonld be paid at
a discount, and then what profit would be left
to Mr. Kimball, the interest of the money
would amount to more than the profit he
would make. Then it may be asked why did Mr.
Kimball want to sell it The answer was
plain, the bnilding had been famished for
State House purposes, and it became him to
sell it to the State; he could afford to do it;
and it was but reasonable to accept his propo
sition: there should be no dodging the q—
tion; he had looked into the matter and
satisfied that they may say if the arrange
ment were perfected, they wonld get a Capitol
for ten years for nothing, yes, for twenty yean
for nothing. If they built a Capitol it wonld
cost them $3,000,000, and the people of the
State would have to be taxed to pay that sum.
while by purchasing this building they could
occupy it for twenty years, if they wished,
for nothing. Another thing, the rents re-
Mr. NUNNALLY continued: If they pur
chased the building they could make a calcu
lation that in eight years they would not lose
one dollar. The rent of outside property
would pay the interest of the money. "hy
should they not purchase it? H. ha‘d heard
no argument except that always advanced to
abuse and run down tba hunse. He had
the certificates of ms who had been sworn,
and whose opinion ought to be worth some
thing, and if they were the fathers of the child,
then they ought to be better able to speak of
ita capabilities; that the building was sonnd;
that money had been no object in its construc
tion; that they bad been instructed to select
the l>est material, and nse no other. He
thonglit they should be the judges in the mat
ter, it was not altogether a question for the
people. If they were not competent to act in
the matter they had all better go heme.
After some further remarks he moved the
previous question.
The previous question was called for, which
occurred on the substitute of Mr. Wallace, sub
mitting the question of a purchase of the Opera
House to a vote of the people of the next elec
tion for members of the General Assembly,
and to appoint a committee of one from the
Senate and two from the House to ascertain
why Mr. Kimball bad never refunded the
$54,500, and why be annexes ita payment ns a
reason why the Opera House should be pur
chased.

A message from the Senate was received,
saying that the Senate had passed a bill to ex
tend the aid of the State to the completion of

Railroad Company.
The bill to incorporate the North Georgia
and Tennessee Railioad Company, and to
grant State aid to the same, was read the third
time aud pnt upon its passage.
Mr. O’NEAL of Lowndes argued forcibly
that this road is bnt a continuation of another
railroad, and that it is a stab at tho interests
of Atlanta and a scheme to ruin the State
Rood. He argued that the passage of this bill
will be unconstitutional.
Mr. ANDERSON offered an amendment to
the effect that no State aid shall be granted
until an amount equal to that asked for shall
have been paid in and expended, &c , which
amendment Mr. Cleghorn, the author of the
bill, accepted.
Mr. 0*NEAL continued—that those who
propose to extend State aid indiscriminately
must shoulder the responsibility.
At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr.
O'NEAL moved to lay the bill on the table.
On this motion the yeas and nays were
called, with the following result: Yeas 71,
nays 47.

Comptroller General’s Office, \
Atlanta, Ga., August 8, 1870. f
To his Excellency Rufus B. Bullock—Em: In
accordance with the provisions of section 1 of
the act approved July 28, 1870, entitled “An
Act to set apart and secure the School Fund,"
I have the honor to report the following state
ment of the amount of School Fund, os far as
can now be ascertained, in the Treasury up to
July 1,1870, to wit:
Poll tax of 1868 actually ascertained and
separated from the General tax $86,337 63.
Poll tax of 1869, actually ascertained and
separated from general tax $86,030 51.
Amount of educational tax from other sources
since Julv 4th, 1868, $69,609 48. Total $242,-
027 62.
The following sums are certified by the
Treasurer at the dates indicated as interest
on State deposits, to-wit: August 23d, 1869,
$336 10, December 28th, 1869, $1,546 05.—
Total $1,882 15.
This may belong to the school fund but
there was nothing in the face ot tho Treasu
rer’s certificate to indicate it, so I have not so
reported it
There is probably a small amount of in
solvent poll tax paid in by Tax Col-
lecters during tne years 1869, ^fcnd
1870, but it will be necessary
carefully examine the receipt bo.ok for those
years which can be done hereafter and re
ported in my next report on this sbject.

Louis Kossuth.
Some months ago, says the Boston Journal,
the Boston Lyceum Bureau commissioned a
celebrated lecturerto travel through Europe
until he found Kossuth, and, as it was re
ported that he was poor, to offer him a series
of lucrative engagements with lyceams in the
United States. We are permitted to quote
from an interesting letter just received from
the gentlemam referred to, dated Geneva,
July 18:
“With nerves still quivering from the dizzy
Alpine clifls over which the Cenis Railway has
just launched me here from Itally. I hasten to
report the execution of the commission which
you entrusted to me. * * * In a retired
qnarter in the royalty-forsaken city of Turin,
piazza Cavonr, over an humble wine tavern, I
found the lonely Magyar—a mild, sedate,
rather dignified looking gentleman of appar
ently sixty years of age, whoso demeanor
though grave exhibited much affability and
courtesy.
“When I had laid your proposition before him
and conveyed an assurance of the delight
which his acceptance of it would afford the
republic, he expressed his deep rejpret that it
was beyond his power to entertain it, averring
that he had retired entirely from public life,
and was now a recluse from worldly affairs.
To this, as a rejoinder, in order to remove any
impression that a visit, such ns was proposed
—l to America, would involve his interference in,
Jadiciare Committee to prepare a btilrorela- coatoct ^ thj poU tical matters. I described
to him the character and organization of
American lyceums, and the work done by the
Boston Lyceum Bureau for them, showing that
the discourse you desired from him would re
quire only his views upon some social or literary
topic, apart from the atmosphere of politics al
together. I added likewise, that while grati
fying and instructing others, it would scarcely
fail to be a subject oi* intense interest to him to
have an opportunity of comparing the Ameri
ca of his day with that of the present, and of
observing what twenty years could do in the
Great Republic.
“He then warmed in conversation and said:
*1 dislike giving you a cold negative, but I
am not the man I was; I have had heavy do
mestic afflictions; I want nerve, and as for
addressing a number of people, I have al
most forgotten what public speaking was. I
am in truth a changeling. Were I to go any
where, it would bo to America.” But, he
added, “why want me? Are you not a na
tion of orators?”
“But,” I said, “none, Signor Kossuth,
such as you.”
“ I then touched upon the delicate ground
of pecuniary considerations, and he immedi
ately observed: ‘I have very little money, but
I have very few wants and I am content’ ”
“ Will nothing move you, Signor? I said.”
“I repeat” he added, “were I to go any
where it would bo to the grandest country in the
world, your America; but I think, from the
sample berore im?, you. can do without Koa-
SUth. Oh f spare my blushes! but I am a
faithful witness, and he had to pay a compli
ment in return for mine.
“The upshot, however, was his emphatic
determination to speak in public no more un
less daty to his own country demanded it He
requested mo to say, however, that he felt
highly flattered by the invitation and grateful
for the consideration regarding his circum
stances.”
Red Cloud cost tho government $50,000 at
Washington. That “ Cloud” must have been
heavily charged with “Jersey lightning!”
Eugenio's faults are—false hair! For ex
posing the latter, Rochefort camo very near
losing his, and his head with it!

Sound Logic for the Sick.-—The invalid
htu often good reasons to exclaim, “save me from
mj friends/’ As a general thing, each of them will
have a different medicine to propose, and if he follows
all their prescriptions in turn, their well-meant advice
may be the death of him. The only sensible coarse in
any case of sickness is to resort promptly to a specific
which has stood the test of a long and widely extended
public experience, and obtained on solid and sufficient
grounds the reputation of a standard remedy. This
rank among the restoratives of our day belongs of
right, and beyond all dispute, to Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters. Let those who are taking it at this debilitat
ing season as an invigorant answer for themselves as
to its tonic properties. Can any dyspepiic, who has
ever used it, question its superiority as a stomachic
over every other medicine ? Can any person of bilions
habit, who has ever taken it for liver complaint doubt
its efficiency ? It is believed among the tens of thous
ands who are now using, or haVo heretofore used it as
an alterative and corrective, not one can be found who
would exchange it for any other preparation in the
known world. For intermittent fevers, nervous de
bility, constipation, sick stomach, and all complaints
arising from indigestion or impoverishment of the
blood, it is the only article which can be conscientious
ly guaranteed, and no oue who is thoroughly acquaint
ed with its virtues will allow interested dealers in
worthless slops, on which they make a larger profit,
to furnish them in the place of the great vegetable re
storative. aug 0-dawlw

“Pain Killer.*’—The foreign and do
mestic demand for Perry Davis & Son’s great medi
cine—the Pain Killer—was never before so large as it
has been of late; and we think tho time has arrived
when tho declaration may be made, without the pos.
sibility of refutation, that the city of Providence, in
the State of Rhode Island, of the United States of
America, has famished the entire habitable globe with
a medicine, which, in point of universality of demand,
extent of usefulness, complete efficiency for all the
purposes for which it is designed and wide spread,
daring popularity, has never been equaled by any
medicine in Europe or America.
The universality of the demand for the Pain Killer
is a novel, interesting, and surprising feature in the
history of this medicine. Its “Dune has gone ont”
into every qnarter of the habitable globe. The Pain
Killer is now regularly sold in ltrge and steadily in
creasing quantities, notonly to general agents in every
State and Territory of the Union, and every Province
of British America, bnt to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, Ura
gnay, Peru, Chili and other South American Statty?, to
the Sandwich Islands, to Cuba, and other West India
Islands; to England and Continental Europe; to Mo
zambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar and other African
lands; to Australia and Calcutta, Rangoon and other
places in India. It has also been sent to Chifla, and
doubt if thero is any foreign port or any inland
city in Africa or Asia, which is freqnented by Arnerl-
and European missionaries, travelers or traders,
into which the Pain Killer has not bcon introduced
and boon sought after.
The extent of iu usefulness is anothor great feature
of this remarkablo medicine. It is not only the best
thing ever known, as everybody will confess, for
braises, cats, barns. Ac., bat for dysentery or cholera,
any sort of bowel complaint it is a remedy unsur
passed for efficiency and rapidity of action. In the
great cities of British India, and in the West India
Islands and other hot climates, it haa become the stan
dard medicine for all such complaints, as well as for
dyspepsia, liver complaints, and other kindred disor
ders. For coughs and colds, canker, asthma and rheu
matic difficulties, it haa been proved by the most abun
dant and convincing trials and testimony, to be an in
valuable medicine. The proprietors are in possesion
of letters from persona of tho highest character and
responsibility, testifying, in unequivocal terms, to the
cures effected and the satisfactory results produced,-in
an almost endless variety of cases, by the use of this
great medicine.—Providence Advertiser.

The fkded check, tho pale and wan features, the dull
eye, the clouded intellect, tho deep heaving sigh, tho
feeble and emaciated frame, tho dejected brow, the
tottering gait t all indicate previous transgression of
law. Knowing that ••procrastination is the thief of
time,” all intelligent beings apply for some remedy as
soon as circumstances permit; while those who do not
act upon the principle that “delays are dangerous,”
generally linger, lose more time and pay more money.
Thousand of mothers and daughters, in all stations
and conditions of life, are suffering, lingering and tlj
ing from the effects of some dreaded and dreadful
FEMALE COMPLAINT,
That claims its victims throughout the length and
breadth of our land.
Many females suffer in sumo way at each monthly
period; some girls are in great pern at the commence
ment of menstruation, while older ones dread ita de
cline at the “torn of life.” Sometimes the me nstrual
flow is too much, or too Utile* or may be aty-nded
with pain; may be irregular or entirely rtwy.frtd, ,
quently drains the system, or ulceration of the womb
may create pain and cause rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly common com
plaint, giving much trouble and distress, which, un
der ordinary treatment, ia difficult to cure.
Hysterics. C'rcen Sickness, Irritability of the Womb,
and other serious and fatal complaints follow tho fe
male sox throughout life. Lives there a medical gen-
tlemau who has or can relieve the fair sex of the above
troubles ? Not many. Is there no combination of
remedial agents that will come to her reacne? Wo an-
ENGLISH FEMALE BITTERS,
Tho only acknowledged Uterine Tonicand Female Reg
ulator known, wiU euro all thoso complaints above
mentioned in an incredibly short time. The Bitters
at once arouses, strengthens and restores the womb to
its natural condition, removing obstructions, relieving
pain and regulating the monthly period. Yonder
stands a pale, feeble and languid girl, just banting
into womanhood; she is the pride of all, but hark 1
she silently steals a pickle, eats chalk, or aslatfi pencil;
no appetite for food; she turns with a dull eye and
seeks solitude; her eye no longer sparkles; her merry
langli is no longer heard ringing through the air; she
mopes shout with bloodless lips and gums, with head
ache, palpitation, constipation, swimming of the head,
cold feet and hands, melancholy; she has a coated
tongue, offensive breath, and a host of other evils too
numerous to mention.
When neglected all these symptoms become aggrava
ted, there is sick stomach, heartburn, a dark line set
tles under the eyes, the legs and ankles are swollen, the
hair loses its gloss and fall* off, there is brittleness and

DEATH IS AT THE D00K.
In all these complaints the system evidently shows a
with powerful vegetable tonics of rare qualities.
Among tho mountains of Tennessee and the piucy-
woods of Mississippi, is found a certain hard and flin
ty root, which has been in secret use by some old mid
wives for many years, possessing magic powers in reg
ulating and restoring all females suffering with any af
fection of the womb. This root we have obtained,
gave It a fair test in our practice and it is now one of
the principal ingredients in these Bitters. Other pow
erful uterine and general tonics also enter into ita com
position. We also add Leptandra or Black root, suffi
cient to act upon the liver and tocp the tnnrcis open.

COMMON GROG-SHOP HITTERS.
Empty Bitter Bottles, of various styles, can be found
around almost every dwelling and cabin throughout
the land. Their taste is pleasant, and are advertised
to core almost every disease, while tho manuheturera
know they possess no medicinal properties whatever.—
They are so many disguises for erreedinffty common
beverages which do not, nor cannot poasfbly curs any
one.
Beware of these pleasant bitters in quart bottles;
they contain a sting for your vitals, and he who bnys
them carries a “toper’s” grog into his house. One
man who knows nothing about medicine, says his big
bottles of common staff will core chills and fever,
rheumatism and consumption; another, whose bottle
is very fancy, cures all impurities of the blood, makes
old men young, casts ont devils, restores sight to the
blind, and numerous other miracles; while yet anoth
er, who presumes every mans drunkard, proposes to
cure colic, in-growing nails, yellow fever, heart dis
ease and love-sick maidens!! We know they make no
such cures, we know the people at largo are deceived
and swindled, and as we desire to ventilate these com
