of the committee of Georgians who wont
on to urge opon 1110 trastec3 of lll ° Oincin-
nati Southom tho ndvisability of accepting
Uie bid made by Colonol Colo for that
road. The following composed the com-

board of trade; E. V. Howell, R. D. Spauld

members of the Chnmbor of Commerce.
From Augusta: Charles Est03, ex-mayor,
and Albert Rowell, Joel Branham city at
torney of Romo, Ga., and Felix Corput,
mayor of the city of Macon, Ga.
Tuesday morning tho Georgia delegates
wero given an audience. Major Benjamin
Crano stated tho object of tho visit and
thanked tho trustees for the courteous re
ception they had been accorded. Capt. E.
P, Ilowell then read the memorial of tho
delegates, which was in effect as follows:
Giam-miss—Believing, as wo do, that
the question or leasing the Cincinnati
(southern railroad, now pending beforo
your honorable body for decision, thomo-t
important one, both for the interests of tho
people of Cincinnati and Georgia, that has
ever boon presented from a business stand
point, or tlint wilt bo presented for a quar
ter of a century to oome, is our apology for
&PI>earing before yon at 'his .ime and ask
ing permission to reason with you upon a
decision of a quostion in which every citi-
xen of Georgia, ns well as every citizen of
Cincinnati, is cleoply interested.
bo great is tho anxiety of tho people of
Georgia that on Saturday morning last,
wh-n it became known in tho four com
mercial ciiios of Georgia that the bids
mado for tho lease of your road woro high
enoogh, it was bcliovod, to insure its boing
leased, that delegates were at once appoin
ted by proi»or authorities in Atlanta, Ma
con. Augusta, aud Romo to como at onco
to Cincinnati to confer with tho proper
authorities here, in this hoar of supremo
importance to their fnture interest and
welfare, on tho disposition to bo made of
tli-Cincinnati Southern railroad. There
is iiot one of our citizens who directly or
indirectly will not ho affected for a quar
ter of a century by tho decision of this
question.
At the outset wo will say frankly that wo
arehorofor tho purpose of urging upon
your honorable body to accept, if possible,
either one or tho other of the bids mado in
the interest of tho Cole system of roads in
the South. Wo do not como to discoss
which is tho highest bid, but which is tho
best ns wo understand it—recognizing tho
fact that in disposing of this important
property, tho question of which is the best
bid will bo of quite as much importance as
the question of who is the highost bidder.
The highest bid mode, as appears by tho
published statement heretofore made in
the newspapers, was that made by Samnol
Thomas and associates, and was made, as
we are informed, in the interests of the
“Colo system of roads.”
It is said that that bid was informal, and,
therefore, cannot bo accepted. If this is
the cose, aud you so decide, we de3iro to
cull your attention to the other bid, mado
in tho same interest by tho East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Com
pany, through ita president, E. W. Cole,
which is understood to bo formal in orery
respect, and which appears to as to bo the
highest and beat hid, all things considered.
Thu reader hero gave tho bid of tho Louis
ville and Nashville and tho East Tuimessco,
Virginia and Georgia railroads, from
which he drew this conclusion: “iso it will
be seen that of tho bids made by organized
railroad companies, that of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad
Company is, in ovory respect- the 'highest
and best bid.’ It is more than tho ono
mado by the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road Company by $209,(XX) annually, or
$".,099,000 for the whole time. It is
more than tho bid made by the
Cincinnati Railroad Company (operating
the road at present) by $80,000 per annum,
or $2,009,000 for tho whole time. Bat it
is claimed that highor bids than that mado
by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Goor-
3 in Railroad Company were made by in-
ividuals.but wero thoy better bids? W onld
the interestof Cincinnati be served by ac
cepting either of those? Would the objeet
for which the road was built be gained by
accepting either of them? The impelling
reason which led Cincinnati to undertake
the great task of building the railroad from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga, 33d miles, was
the fact that her merchants and manufac
turers could not supply their customers in
the (south and (Southeast over tho roads
then running from Cincinnati and through
Louisville, upon as favorable
terms as thoy could be supplied
by Louisville, Chicago, and St. Louta.
Goaded by these discriminations and de
struction to tier business, sho undertook
the herculean task of building her own
road to tho South; and now, after years of
delay, and spending many millions of
money, her effort* have been crowned with
eminent success, her good road finished,
aud Cincinnati lias thus been placed in a
most favorable position to compete with
Louisville, Chicago end St. Louis for the
trade of the South and Southwest. Yea,
more; she has now tho opportunity, by
means of her road, of making a combina
tion that will give her absolute control
of the situation and of securing fop
all time, tho almost entire trado of the
South aud southeast, a trade that is meas
ured by many millions of dollars annually.
" * * Iftheleasoisto be awarded to
the 'highest bidder,’ it must be awarded to
Samuel Thomas and associates. If to the
highest Lid znude by any organized rail
road company, it will bo awarded to the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Railroad Company, wo presume; but, if
uot to the highest bid, on account ofnny
informality, and if not to tho highest for
mal bid made by any organized railroad
com; .any, aud any company of individuals,
the ability, power, and influence of the par
ties to serve the best interests of the trade
and tax payers of Cincinnati should bo
wisely and carefully considered.”
The reader here gave a mod description
of the Cole systems of roads, stating it em
braced abont 1,400 miles, 1,200 of which
were already in operation, and the reat
would be fully completed by July next, all
connecting with tho Cincinnati (Southern
at Chattanooga.
Summing up the advantage, ho said:
“The Cole system accommodates the cities
of Memphis, Grand Junction, Inka, Tua-
cumbia, Decatur, Huntsville, on one of the
lines: by another the cities of Selma, Jack
sonville, Rome and Dalton; by another lino
the cities of Atlanta, Macon, Brunswick,
. and Savannah, and many towns of from
one thousand to fivo thousand inhabitants;
by another line tho city of Knoxville and
the numcrous.largo towns in east Tennes
see; on tho lino of the Norfolk and West
ern, Lynchburg, Richmond, and Norfolk,
by their lino tho shortcut-off from Norris
town on .tho East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad, in connection with tho
North Carolina system, they reach all the
points in North and South Carolina, and
with cast Georgia, including Wilmington
and Charleston.”
A Cincinnati paper of Tuesday evening
cays:
The communication, as read by Captain
Rowell, closed with a father appeal to
lease tho Southern to the Cole system.
The signatures of the delegates were np-
1* luted to tho address. Hon. Joel Bran-
hum, of Romo, supplemented what had
been said in tho communication by giving
a short history of Georgia’s railroad sys
tems. Ho stated that the people of Geor
gia were indebted to Colonol Cole, that
he had accomplished great results for
Georgia, and they believed him to be a man
of integrity and honor.
Ex-Governor Bishop said they would be
Clad to hoar from tho other gentlemen if
they had anything further to &ay.
Mr. Crano stated thoro was nothing
further, nnd tho meeting cams to an end.
The delegates leave /or home at seven
o’clock to-night.
The trustees havo a meeting to-morrow
afternoon, when the matter will receive at-
untion.
JPOLITICAL GOSSIP.
Views of Mr. Hendricks on XA nnd
Tiling*.
O th in Cincinnati Inquirer.
•‘Mr. Hendricks, I remember seeing
you at dinner at Mr. Blaine’s once, sitting
on his left band, while Charles Sumner
was on his right ? ”
“I knew Sumner intimately well,
think he was a sincere enthusiast,
never saw any indications of mental or
moral dynasty in him. He had nothing
of the ready power of Fessenden, who
was the most able man I have ever seen
in the United States Senate, but his read
ing and learning were very extensive. Af
ter Grant came into power Sumner would
not fall into m ere followership. He felt
the sense of fitness, and, although he was
badly treated by his party, I regard his
closing years as mellowing with humanity
and magnanimity his younger and more
radical years.”
“Do you think Mr. Blaine is as strong
before the people as ha was three or four
years ago ? ”
“No. Wo can beat Blaine whenever
he runs for President. He would have to
he on the defensive from the time he
took the field.”
“What do you think of Itoscoe Conk-
ling?”
“That is the man, if I were a Republi
can, 1 would want to see President of the
United States. While ho is rather of
aristocratic behavior, he is a man who
tolerates no jobbery nor low Intrigue.
His pride of character lias most of the
elements of self-respect in it. As to his
abilities they are prodigious. I think lie
is the most powerful speaker I ever knew.
I sat in the Senate with him a full term,
and I never had the least reason to sus
pect him of being concerned in anything
devious or interested in it. On ono occa
sion ho got ready to pitch Into railroads,
and endeavored to arrest some action of
tho Executive carrying out the rights of
railroad that ran from Northwestern
Missouri to the Union Pacific road. 1 fre
quently took a lavorable view to railroads,
and in examining tills case concluded that
the company had done its work, and was
entitled to its franchise. Mr. Conkling
cams to me and invited me to join with
kirn in an onslaught. I said: “In this
case I do not think it just.’ ‘Why?’ said
lie. ‘I had expected a different course
from you.’ ‘Then you are mistaken Mr.
Conkling,’ said I.”
“Would not Michael C. Kerr have been
considerably more of a man if he had
lived longer ?”
“I think it probable, thougli he was an
extremist on the subject of free trade, and
I do not think that wonld have promoted
his career. For myself I have never
become excited on that subject. I do not
tbink taxation for revenue is a philosoph
ical question at all. It is a commercial
question, and I would have the different
articles which arc to be taxed selected by
men in business, whose views would have
moro experience than those of politicians.
In the Old World it is very manifest that
there is a reaction against free trade every
where. Manufacturing interests are rising
all over the West and are strong in Inffi-
I do not think that we are to look
on our manufacturers with any resent
ment, but rather with pride.”
“Did Governor Tilden ever converse
witli you on some joint course of action
after you were both deprived of your
offices by the inauguration of Hayes aud
Wheeler?”
“Ho did not; and there I think he was
at fault. Perhaps liis mind was too much
occupied with a great variety of sugges
tions from men nearer to him. But I
waited, expecting lie would confer with
me, but he never did so. I think Gov.
Tilden, on that day when Chandler sent
his defiant message that Tilden aud Hen
dricks bad not been elected, ought to
have expressed himself distinctly that he
regarded Himself as elected, and meant to
maiutaiu the authority of the majority.
Had I been the candidate at the bead of
the ticket I should have done just that,
aud there would have been no contention
either, because the orderly portion of the
Republican party believed we were elect
ed, and would not have resisted onr
taking the offices, with Congress in our
favor.”
“lou speak of Mr. Fessenden as one of
your ablest contemporaries?”
“Ho was certainly the ablest debater I
ever heard, and, perhaps, ever read of.
He would take up a case with a great
-number of points in it and never miss one
point, though he had not made a singlo
note or figure. He would discuss a
revenue bill, for instance, or an appropii-
ation bill, right on, only appealing to bis
memory, with such clear and marvelous
skill that it was a delight to hear him.
“I will mention another man,” said the
Governor; “who I think to be one of the
rarest men among the Republicans I ever
niew, Senator Grimes, of Iowa. He was
one of the earliest governors of Iowa, and
the impress of bis character and virtues is
still to be felt all through that State.

progress, but the citizen spirit has always ties of the State government and the Leg-
been there. Indiana was a very hard islsture. Under these circumstances it is
State to settle, on account of being so the imperative duty of the Legislature to
heavily timbered. The moisture in the
timber covered the surface of the ground,
and water stood all over the State until
you could get the timber off. Conse
quently we were a State of log houses un
til very recently. The new settler,
of whatever condition, went iuto In
diana and put himself up a log hut and
then began to girdle the trees so that they
would decay and fail. Frequently onr
farmers would plow all day and burn
stumps and brush all night, and so in the
course of time open land appeared, and
now you see a beautiful country. I pre
sume Indiana will attain a population of
5,000,000 as her limit. We are receiving
emigration from Ohio constantly. One
of the best things about Indiana is her
14,000 schools and school teachers. Cul
ture Is almost competitive throughout the
State from family to family. Wo are
about to build a new State House at In
dianapolis, which will cost $2,000,000; yet
it will hardly be a better building than
our City Hall which has cost more than
hall as much. The presence of the State
government at Indianapolis is no commer
cial benefit to the town, but has been no
injury to it.”
I inquired about Caleb Smith, a mem
ber ot Abraham Liucolu’s original cabi
net.
“He was put into the cabinet for rea
sons I do not care to discuss,” said Mr.
Hendricks. “They got him out of the
cabinet and put him in the office of dis
trict judge, where he effected” by his rul
ings the confiscation of property on ac
count of the rebellion, dispossessing num
erous respectable people of their homes.
It is my belief that very few people In In
diana ever joined the secret societies dur
ing the war but for the purpose of pro
tecting themselves.”
There may be some places in this con
versation where I misunderstood Mr.
Hendricks, or have not with full accuracy
recorded him.
Governor nendricks further said in dif-
ierent order:
“I do not see why good lawyers seem to
avoid judicial appointments. Tho sala
ries are not large, yet I do not favor
higher salaries'. About $4,0(X) a year is
enough for the averago district judge.
Many lawyers, It is true, make more at
their profession, but such take the risk of
getting business. The Supremo bench of
tho United States and the Supreme bench
of Indiana are exceptional. There tho
drudgery is sucli that I would not accept a
place on cither.”
He remarked at the proper context;
“I was accused of having said that I
would not run for Vice President on the
ticket witli Mr. Tilden. That I never
said. I did say I would not run for Vice
President. I meant I did not want that
office. It had too little sphere in It to
console me for tho loss of my occupation
and practice.”
Speaking of the personal advantages to
R. B. Hayes of getting the Presidency
without a popular title, Mr. Hendricks
said:
“Do you see how obscure Hayes has
already become? He does not stand out
from obscurity like a legal cx-President.
He had a rather successful administration.
The times became good in liis term. .Yet
they do not redound to his fame, or save
him from insignificance He knows Mr.
Tilden was the elected President.”

State house. The State is amply
able to aflord not only comfortable quar
ters to the public servants, but a credita

present Legislature that they will be held
to rigid accountability for neglecting or
refusing to make provision for anew
State house, when an awful catastrophe
occurs at Atlanta, whose horrors, like the
one at Richmond some years ago, shall
appall tho continent.
This cry of economy is being carried to
9uch an extreme in Georgia as to defeat

vice of the State, and the so-called econ

amounts to parsimony and meanness. It

DREADFUL MASSACRE OF V. 8.
TROOPS.
Sax Fbaxcisco, September 8.—A
Tucson dispatch to the Star says advices
from Fort Grant are.to the following effect:
Three courieis have come into Gamp
Thomas, all bringing the same news, that
General Carr and command have all been
massacred by the White Mountain Indians,
185 miles from Camp Apache. One
hundred and ten men aud seven officers
were killed. The officers must beGeu.

Grimes, Fessenden aud Trumbull were
three statesman-like lawyers, and they
chiefly broke down the impeachment
scheme.”
The Governor turned with a warm
smile on bis face and said: “Do you sup
pose there ever was such a matchless pa
geant as that impeachment oi President
Johnson? I am sure I shall never see
anything like it again. The talent, the
intensity, the wonderful audiences that
sat at the trial from day to day, aud the
magnitude of the interest involved made
it the most extraordinary thing 1 over
saw. Had the plot succeeded it would
havo been a very serious thing to this
country, and perhaps the failure of pro
longing the Republican pariy. Johnson,”
said Governor Hendricks, “had almost as
much genius lu getting into hot water as
Lincoln had in avoiding it. Johnson was
a man of integrity, and meant for the
best, but lie always shook hlinself into
a state of the greatest distress, when with
a little tact lie could have gone around or
mollified matters.”
I related to Gov. Hendricks an anec
dote of two Indiana public men of the
Republican party who feared he would
be nominated for president in ISOS, when
Seymour ran. Mr. Hendricks said: “I
could not have been elected president in
1808 if Iliad been nominated. Nobody
could have beaten Grant that year. But
if I had been nominated cither in 1870 or
18301 could have been elected.”
“Doyou regard Grant as a man of abil
ity?”
“Yes, I do. lie is an able man with
out question. I met him in England.
But 1 think his remarks in the last presi
dential campaign, slurring the Democra
cy, were neither necessary nor becom-
_>. Hendricks said in another place:
“I have never believed in making issnos
when I saw defeat inevitable. Perhaps
that is the reason why I have been con
sidered by some Republicans unsettled on
the currency question, which came up
three or four years ago. I never opeiicd
my mouth against resumption or sound
money. I regarded it as a commercial
question, not to be settled by an act of
Congress or a proclamation, but by tbc
disposition of the business class, which
knew perfectly well what kind of money
to take for values. That was seen in the
fate of two of Sherman’s bills. Yet I am
free to confess that resumption came about
earlier than I expected, though in just the
way I did expect it. It was not an act of
Congress which mado it, but the acts of
the merchants aud banks, which began to
pay specie far in advance of the time con
templated, and not because of that time
being set. I havo always sustained hon
est banking and always believed in re
sponsible money.

“Yes; it is better land. The alluvial

Jeffeksoxvjlle, Ga., Sept. 1.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
My attention lias just been called to a
quotation in your daily of the 31st of
August last, from the Columbus Enquirer,
relative to “the Twiggs county tragedy.”
Please give this card room In your earliest
issue.
In the first place, no such boy as Charles
Arnold ever lived with me. Second, I
have no son. The boy Charles Thomp
son who, I suppose, hanged himself re
cently, was perfectly contented at my
house, enjoying more liberties than almost
anybody else in tho section. Until this
spring he was never allowed to become a
laborer, and at his request be was allowed
to enter the farm this year. He was
about 17 years old, aud tho most of liis
time was spent fishing and hunting,which
he enjoyed greatly. I havo always been
uniformly kind to him—indeed have de
feuded him often when I knew he should
be punished, but I did so out of sympathy
for him. He has an aunt living next
neighbor to me, and I doubt not that sbe
will state tbat I always treated him kind
ly. Since liis death this aunt and an un
cle of bis have talked with me often on
business in which they have recently em
ployed me, and neither ha3 ever expressed
or acted any doubt as to my kindness.
They know the truth of my kindness to
him. On an afternoon about two months
since, a friend, Mr. L. D. Sherman, my
wife and I went about five miles fishing.
He aided a negro man in harnessing the
horses, and that was the last I saw of
him. As we returned abont one
hour by sun, one of the hands working
in the field within twenty yards of my
yard told me the boy went off to get wa
ter and had not returned, stating that he
went to see about bis plow and found
that he had carried off ono of his plow
lines. The body was found abont six
weeks after this near my house,but nearer
the residence of Dr. U. 8. Wimberly’
about two hundred and fifty yards of the
Doctor’s.
I cannot believe it possible that any
foul play was used. Indeed,the rope was
too; high lor any two men to have carried
the body without a ladder—near tho top
of an oak about fifteen or twenty inches
in diameter. How this picco got into tho
Columbus paper I am unable to say, but
I have a suspicion that a scoundrel living
not veiy far from me, who has been angry
with me fors ome time but ~ is
too cowardly to meet me,
lias fathered the movement. I shall trace
up the ‘'first cause” iu the premises very
soon. Do me the favor to forward me a
copy of the entire piece tbat I may 4 begin
the proceedings; the bearer of this will
pay you for it. So far as tbo grand jury
of my county is concerned, I am anxious
that they shall investigate the matter at
their next session. I have ever since I
knew lie was hanged requested various
parties tc get all the facts thoy could for
the grand jury, as they will testify.
I pronounce tho entire report as a base,
unfounded falsehood, and circulated by a
coward who dares not assert such charges
in tbe face of our respectable citizens. I
refer to all my neighbors as to my treat
ment of tbe boy, etc.
In haste, respectfully,
Joel D. Jokes.
We, the undersigned, certify that the

The mil for a New Capitol Building.
Macox, Ga., Sept. 3,18S1.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
Your article in to-day’s paper, in refer
ence to tbe refusal of the Legislature to
pass the bill for building a new capitol,
docs not, in my judgment, voice tbo sen
timent of tbe State upon this question.
Many people, no doubt, havo failed to
make up their minds, one way or the oth
er, upon this question, but I apprehend
that all who are indifferent about
it, and many who are opposed to the un
dertaking at present, would be in favor of
it if they would take the trouble to inves
tigate the matter.
The condition of the present building is
enough to make any prudent man shudder
with apprehension for tho safety of the
Legislature, and tho State officials who
occupy it. Tho walls arc sprung and In
many instances cracked almost from the
foundation to the top of the building. The
brick are inferior and riiortar poor. The
ceilings overhead are suspended, as- I un
derstand, with rods instead of being built
on girdera supported by trusses. The
building is very uncomfortable, and in
size is entirely inadequate to the necessi-
Carr, Capt. Henlig, Lieutenants Carter,
~ rdon, Stanton, times, and Dr. McCra
ry. The White Mountain Indian reserva
tion is located about 160 miles north of
Wilcox, near the line of New Mexico.
The tribo numbers about 1,500 iu all.
They can muster 400 warriors. This is
tbe only tribe of Apaches which have
not been whipped into subjection. They
were moved in 1870 into the San Carlos
reservation, but recalled and returned to
their old hunting grounds, where they
have been ever since.
WAsmxGTOx, September 3.—The fol
lowing telegram was received at tbe War
Department this morning by Acting
Adjutant-General McKecver from Gen.
McDowell, dated September 2d:
“The following has been received from
tbc commanding-general of the Depart
ment of Arizona, dated to-day:
“/Tiffany telegraphs a report from the
snb-ageucy that an Indian named Mickey
has brought word that a number of chiefs
are coming in with their bands, bat that
Pedro, with ail his band and others, aro on
the war-path; that Carr’s command, includ
ing himself nnd six othor officers and sixty-
fonr enlisted men, were killed day before
yesterday; also that Pedro had killed seven
or eight men, including an expressman, be
tween Apache and Thomas. No word from
Apache. The line is down—wire cat. Bid
dle was at work yesterday and last night
getting troops across the Gilo, and, with
difficulty, is pushing for Texas’.”
Chicago, September 8.—A special to
the Times from Tucson, Arizona, confirms
the report of the massacre of two compa
nies of cavalry under General Carr by tho
Apaches near Camp Thomas. Lieutenant
Couzc was shot by a “medicine man”
whom ho was trying to arrest, whereupon
the troops opened fire and killed the med
icine man. The massacre then began, tho
Indian scouts firing on the white troops
and nearly eveiy white man was killed.
Three companies of cavalry and a com
pany of scouts under Overton are on route
as reinforcements. No courier has yet
come through and all are supposed to
have been killed.
Sax Fbaxcisco, September 3.—A dis
patch received from General Wilcox
tliis morning says he lias received news
tbat a few of General Carr’s command es
caped at Cubic creek, which is forty miles
west of Fort Apache. Those who escaped
are fighting their way to Fort Apache,
but their success is doubtful. Pedro’s
baud attacked Fort Apache, but the com
mander of the department thinks that ho
must have been repulsed, and that he
now holds tbe canon through which the
road from Camp Thomas to Fort Apache
passes.
At tbe down town office of tips United
States array no definite Information has
been rccoived regarding the reported
massacre of Gen. Care and command, but
tbe officers there infer that the report is
essentially correct and that an outbreak
on a serioas scale has taken place. A
company of tho First Cavalry stationed at
Camp McDermott, and another at Camp

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—
This excellent district In our county peti
tioned, through a large body of her citi
zens, for the passage ot a bill prohibiting
tbe sale of liquors of all kinds witbiii
three miles of any church in her borders.
Tbe petition was sigued by nearly all the
property holders, white and colored, in
the district, Including the Messrs. Merritt,
the Ousieys, Cason, Lockett, the John
sons, tho Howards, the Colemans, Ayres,
Park, Bowman, Myrick, Hill, Foster, Mc
Williams, the Holts and others, aud by
nearly all the colored men who owned
property in tho district. The petition was
properly advertised over the signatures of
Messrs. Ousley, Park, Bowman and My
rick, and promptly scut to Captain Bacon,
who stated that “it would pass without
difficulty.”
Since then two bar-keepers iu tho dis
trict have sent ou a counter
petil'nn, signed by only five white men,
and by scores of negroes under twenty-
one years of ago, and by a number of no-
grocs recently imported from Washington
county aud from Macon to work on the
Macon and Brunswick railroad extension.
Many of these negroes now deny that they
ever saw the counter petition. It is now
reported that two ot our representatives
have espoused tho cause of the latest pe
tition aud have defeated Mr. Bacon and
his bill for the relief of the district.
They graciously, however, allow tho voters
to decide the question for the properly

DYSPEPSIA.
Different Cases Defined.
Buies for Ita Treatment.
Dyspepsia is the inability of the stomach
to prepare from the food eaten the nour
ishment required to sustain the body.
Among a dozen dyspeptics no two wui
hare the same predominant symptoms.
Dyspeptic* of active mental power and a
bilious temperament are subject to sick
headache^taose who -it fleshy and phleg
matic have con.itipution, while the than and
nervous are abandoned to gloomy fore
bodings. Some dyspeptics are wonder
fully forgetful; others ha~e great irritabil
ity of temi>er.
Symptom* of Dyapopnia
are loss of appetite, rising of food,
heartburn, distention of the stom
ach, headache, bad breath, sleep
lessness, tow spirits, and general
j prostration. Constipation is a fre
quent concomitant of dyspepsia,
but sometimes it is attended with
diarrhoea.
For the certain cure of dj^ipepsiii there
nevor waa a medicine discovered equal to
or even deserving a comparison with Sim
mons Liver Regulator. The tea*, of many
years and the experience of many thou
sands and tens of thousands of every age
and condition of life has established the
foot that no one will remain a dyspeptic
who will take this purely vegetable medi
cine according to the printed directions to
be found always accompanying the medi
cine. The Regulator,- as a tonic and cor
rective, will strengthen the gastric organs
so that . -
The Food will not lio Corrupting and
Decomposing in tho Stomach to
Poison the Blood,
but will be digested without pain or dis
tress; aud when thus digested the body is
nourished, pure blood is supplied, and
health, vigor and cheerfulness follow. It
is not unpleasant to the taste and is per
fectly harmless. A half-tablespoonfui after
each meal will geutiy move the bowels as
naturally as if no medicine had been taken,
and when its use is discontinued the sys
tem is not left constipated or costive.
