A DAY AT LlTiz.----We had the pleas
ure .of attending a " family pic-nic" at
Litiz on Ayedng4day last. There were
about fourteen families- from Columbia
with representationS. -from Philadelphia
and other places. The day was spent in
the grove at the famous Springs in good old
pic-nic style. Many were the amusements
itulKilfjed in ; such as pitching quoits, run
ning races, playing base ball, performing
difficult feats and various other impromptu
arrangements, while the little folks had
their own sports, swinging, romping over
the hills and playing along the banks of
the stream. Mirth, hilarity and joy was
the order of the day. "Ralph" added much
to the pleasures of the party. He per
formed astounding gymnastic feats, read
Shakespeare, sang a song and preached a
sermon. He is always the life of a party
—a good man and pretty, too. At one
o'clock dinner was announced, and such a
one as it was. Everything which the
appetite could desire was there, enough
and to spare. Our bill of fare consisted in
part of a roasted. lamb : • which graced the
centre of the table, ham, beef, fowls, vege
tables, pastry,hot coffee, ice cream,lemon
fide, raspberryade, claret, sherry and
champagne, together with many other
articles necessary to appease the wants of
the inner mall. Indeed our table would
have doni,:eredit to a " Continental or a
Metropolitan." Oh, how faithful and with
what tenacity some of the party hung
around the festive board. We could men
tion those whom we think very small
eaters but Nye forbare. The ladies, God
bless them,deserve great praise forgetting
up such a sumptuous repast.
We doubt whether there is a more splen
did place in' Pennsylvania than Litiz
Springs. EVerYone who visit there feel
that nowhere in the world. can it be possi
ble that a more perfectly beautiful Spring
and the grounds thereto, can be found in
existence. It is the pride of Lancktster
County.. The elegant Hotel on the Hill is
kept by the Messrs. Lichtenthalor pc Sons,
who are gentlemanly and attentive to the
wants of their patrons ,and know full well
"hoiv to keep a hotel !" Their. Iniuse is
well filled with boUrders, and no wonder,
as Lai?: is one of the best supamer resorts
in the 'United States.
We cannot cl pse this article without re
turning thanks to Mr.G.F.,Gage,the cour
teous and obliging SUperintendent of the
- Reading and Columbia Railroad, for favors
received at his hands and for which our
party are under special obligations. The
thanks of the party • are also duo •to Mr.
Grist, Chairmairof the • Board of Trustees
of the Springs property. He even be
rememßered in kindness, and all who
have business with him will find a socia
ble, chriStian gentleman. "The Constable,
too, deserves our thanks. We might also
mention .Mr4ieever, General Freight and
Ticket Agent, Reading and Columbia
Railroad,and others who deserve special
rnention,.bUt for Want of room: .
We cc:llia:relate many little happy, inci
dents that, occurred during the day—one
circumstance. at least transpired, which
was rather ridiculous as well as amusing,,
which we can hardly help re r lating, but we
-forego for the present. Every thing Was
conducted admirable style. Peace,
unity andgood will reigned suprel4e, and
we are happy to say that nothing trans
pired during the day to mar the pleasures
of our social party. The shades of even
ing coming on, all returned home highly
pleased with the day's . enjoyment, • and
with a desire to pic-riic soon again. •

forcible, us it is applicable to whatever
educates a people.
Columbia is worthy of such an institution
as we design, through a liberal patronage,
to establish. Nature seems to have lavish
ed her choicest beauties on the location,
and art is rendering it a most accessible
and eligible spot. If "Learning and Vir

Cured by Mishler'slterb Bitters
'Wben Mishler's - Bitters were-first intro
ducedto ,propriotor did not
feel justified in recommending it as,a spe
cific for Cholera. During the fall of 1865,
Dr. Mishler received the following note
from Jacob L.• Baker, "Esq.,.of Lancaster
Pa., a member of the Philadelphia College
of Pharmacy. Mr. Baker.had a great deal
of experience in the treatment-of Cholera
,is a druggist of sixteen years standingoras
Hospital Steward in the Jefferson Hospital,-
Philadelphia, for three years, andis withal
a -gentleman of .undoubted integrity.and
.one in whose statement the most implicit
.confidence can be placed.:
Lancaster, November 3d, 186.5.
Dr. Mishler—Dear Si r: wing. :that
the Cholera with its dreadful .ravages lan OW
upon our land, and knowing that no-medi-'
cine now in our country possesses -such, a
caloric influence "which is the vital reme
dy for all diseases of this kind," as the
Bitters you now making I request you to
prepare such a quantity of your bitters as
would suit all demands, as I assure you
they will be an invaluable remedy, and
will be hailed as a blessing by all who will
use it.
Yours respectfully.
JACOB L. BAKER
Being thus urged, and having noticed
: the Bitters were constantly curing the most
yiolent cases of Diarrhoea; Cholera Morbus
and kindreci.cornplairos.,Dt. Mishler atlast
catered his compounds ns a cure for Cholera
The result has exceeded his most sanguine
expectations and fully justifies all that Mr-
Baker says Minos note. It certainly proves
that Mr. Baker's practical::knowleclge of
u.edicine far exceeds that oT Most doctors
who too oven dose their patients with de
leterious drugs on some absurd theory.—
For the purpose of showing that Mishler's
Herb Bitters will cure Cholera we give
below a few facts.
All intelligent person's who have investi
gated the origin of cholera, agree that it is ,
caused by poison introduced and generated
into the system by impure water, dautp_-
ness, filth and over-crowded rooms with
deficiout ventilation. This is proved by
the fact that cholera always rages worse
on board of ships where all of the above
causes are found more or less combined.
To cure cholera, and also to prevent it,it is
necessary. to neutralize this position, and
that Mishler's Bitters will do this is proven
by the following :
The steamship Virginia, arrived at the
Port of New York about: the middle of
April with cholera a board a number of the
passengers having died. during the voyage
with this complaint. Among the passen-
Bers were a family named Schmith, from
aden, Germany. This family was at
tacked with cholera. Fortunately for them
they had friends living in this city (Lan
caster. Pa.,) who knew thevirtues of Mish
ler's Bitters and who procured a bottle and
sent it to the Schmith family. When this"
package arrived at Quarantine,the doctors
examined it and confiscated the contents.
Another bottle was procured and packed in
a more secure manner: itsafelyreachedthe
Schiniths. On its arrival aboard the Vir
ginia, Henry Sehmith and Christ. &hal ith
were both laboring under choleric stung
toms; 4rs. Marcia Schmith, wife of. the
former was very bad, not expected to re
cover, and a son had died of the dread com
plaint and had been buried theday previ
ous, It was in this plight a bottle of Mish
ler's Bitters, sent forth like ar Angel of
l%fercy found the poor Schmith family.—
Henry Schmith was the first to try it, and
so instantaneous was the relief he experiz.
enced that he gave it to his wife and brothei— ,
both of whom it at once relieved, 'They •
else d the entire contents of the bottleand
all three were so much relieved that the
physicians permitted them to leave the '
Virginia,after being confined at quarantine
aboard that scourge ship forty-two scys.—
The Schmiths proceeded to their relatives
in Lancaster, and at an early opportunity
called on Dr. Mishler to express their grati
tude for the timely relief they had found--
in his Bitters. Mr. Henry Schmith stated •
that all the compounds the doctors had
given him did no good, but that ono glass
of Mishler's Bitters made him feel like a
new man, warming his whole system,
giving him a healthful heat and causing
him to perspire freely. His statement was
substantially was substantially as given,
above. and he further said that if the doc
tors-had not kept the first bottle from ,
reaching hint, hitrson would yet hrve been
living. Mrs. Sultanith was still weak froze:
the effect of cholem, but the continued use
of the Bitters were most surely restoring
her accustomed 'vigor. • -
It is not to be • expeetedthat regular M.
Ps. will admit that any remedy not to be
found in the Dispensatory will cure Chol
era or any other complaint, but candor
compels Dr. D. H. Bissell of the Cholera
Hospital ship " Falcon" to admit that he
believes Mishler's Bit iers to be a " very
good Tonic." In reply as to a ease of Bit
ters that was sent to him by a well known
gentleman of Lancaster, he writes as fol
lows :
Hospital Ship Falcon,
Quarantin, New York,June 7th, 1866. J
George S. Rowbotham, Esq.— Dear Sir :
Yours of the 23d, inst. is to hand. In re
ply, I beg leave to say, that I received the
case of Bitters you sent me for trial ctc.,
that I gave them to the convalescents in
Hospital. I believe them to bo a very
good tonic Bitters, well adapted to all colitis
requiring Tonic remedies.
D. H. BISSELL, Physician,
Hospital Ship "Falcon."
This letter from Dr. Bisselljust after the
reception of the Bitters, and before he had
time and opportunity to thoroughly test
their wonderful medicinal properties is
considered an important endorsement, as
that gentleman to-day occupies the most
important position of any physician in
America. The passengers and crews o
emigrant and merchant vessels that arrive
in the Port of New York from foreign coun
tries,are subject to his inspection and con
trol, and the great experience he has had
in the management of that dreadful dis
ease, Cholera, gives an endorsement by
him an unusual importance. This letter
together with the statement of the Schmith
family—who while in the Steamer Vir
ginia, were under Dr. Bissell's control,
shows what the Bitters have done and can
do.
Another case of Cholera cured by Afish
lees Herb Bitters is that of Mr. Pearsol of
York county, who,after suffering severely
from all the symptons of Cholera, finally
became collapsed and while in this state,
(the doctors stating that he was beyond re
lief) a friend administeredfreely,Alishler'es
Bitters. The effect was instantaneous ;
heat was generated in the body, perspira
tion was induced and after using one bot
tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored.
Mishler's Bitters cures Cholera by coun
teracting the poison which is the cause of
the disease. Poison in the system,whether
generated by bad air, filth, ac., as in
Cholera, or introduced by the bite of a
venomous snake or mad dog will be ex
pelled and all bad symptons allayed by
the use of Anchises Herb Bitters. Tho.,
above proves this to be the fact in Cholera
and the certificate of Mr.lthinehart proves
that Alishlees Billet's will cure the bito:of
a poisonous snake:
Lancaster, July 4th, 1865;
aff. B. Mishler—Sir:—About eight weeks
since I was bitten in the left hand by a
snake, but at the time did not know of
what species it was. Immediately after
the bite my hand swelled to a very Verge
size, and. the poison appeared to be work
ing up my arm. I suffered great pain in
my hand and arm; I had to quit work and
was afraid I would be compelled to have
my hand amputated. Z came to you. and
by your advice washed my hand and arm
with your herb Bitters at the same time
taking it inwardly. In eleven days I was
able to go to work again. 'Au , poison Was
drawn ant , and Mishler's herb Bitterrl
was the only medicine or application that
I made use of. 111 r, Christian Burns, a
near neighbor of mine, went out a day or
two after to the place where I Was bitten,
and killed what I believe was the same
snake that bit me as he caught within five
yards of the spot where I was bitten. It
proved to be what is called a copper snake;
at any rate, whether it was the same one
that bit.lllo or pot—one thing is certain—
that your Bitters cured the bite of a snake
in my case for which I shall ever be thank
fttl, as I believe it was the means of saving
my hand,
I shall be pleatOd. to personally satisfy
any one of the truth of the above.
Yours. JACOB RINEHART.
