TUROUG.II our exchanges we leave had
the announcement of several failures iu
,J3oston, New York, and the West, of more
,or less magnitude, within the past few
weeks. Speculation, it seems, is coming
to grief; and all know hoW surely and rap
idly it tray.cls down hill, when it has had
iti frail under pinning •knocked out and
started on the tumble. Circumstances
Argue such a condition of affairs at present;
and while artificial appliances may hold
it up temporarily, so rotten is it in both
principle and material, that we canuot
but look upon a general crash as inevita
ble, , It is a noticeable fact that the fail
ures :which have thus far reached the
public - ear are almost exclusively of
houses engaged in the provision business,
and that from all• - the-greut , commercial
centers throughout the country, East and
West, reports are made of a continued
,c4pression and dropping off in the price
of
,eVerY • eatable:' '.This is just as might
have 'been expected.' It is in this particu
lar line that speculation has held its high
carnival, and -where the first indications
of decline -were looked for. So it turns
cut, end here the greatest disasters, if'
such we may call them,will be ex perieuced
„We say a general crash is almost in
evitable, but we mean by that, simply
that the weak houses,— and those that
have,,,,shown„a, ;weakness, in,‘„mind while
strongenough' puise; and ; foolishly
embarked in the speculative schemes of
the day, will be driven to the wall.
-There are no real causes for a - continual
stagnation, or such as would eventuate in
what is_ termed a great financial - crisis ,
and those who have been even moderately
careful, while at the_ same time operating
on a solid basis, will find no - difficulty in
weathering-the storm, There has been
no reduction of the _currency—there is
enough to meet all the demands of trade.
But its an " ill wind that: blows nobody
zood.". Dealers may suffer,. but it will
. py.Ove'a, blessing to consumers, and we
-would remind the latter that the benefits
are theirs_ awl if the,; they ;nay
en
joy them. It is a fact - heyond, all Con
.
troversy that-while prices in -the whole
sale markets have declined at the least
Alculation twenty per cent. within little
intim than a fortnight, the old figures are
still maintained by many retailers—and
they will continue
i so just as long as con
sumers submit to t. There is but one
course to take in such cases, 4,nd it is
asily followed.— Let <consumers curtail
their purchases—buy no more -than is
positively necessary to meet their present
wants- 7 .--day in no supplies for the future
till prices reach their level, and
our word for it they will not wait long
-before realizing the fact that they have
it in their power to regulate all such
cases.

A Sure Preventative of
C fC.11A
(II WONDERUL REMEDY was discovered
:fed introduced about twenty years ago by Dr.
S. tAleop,i is, an eminent Egyptian physician.
lie had long seen and felt the want of sonic reme
dy which would strike' at the root of disease, and so
prevent much of the suffering which the human
family was then compelled to-endure.
The great question was presented to his mind
every dyy in vivid colors as he moved among the
sick and dying, and observed the inefficiency of
nearly all the remedies then in use. Thus he was
lead to think and experiment; and after ten years of
study and labor, he presented to his fetlow-man the
wonderful Zingari, bitters. ~The effect of this prep
aration in the prevention and cure of disease, was
so marvellous , and astonishing, that the - most flat
tering- marks of royal favor were bestowed upon
him who discovered it. II is name was placed upon
the Roll of Nobles, and a gold medal with the fol
lowing inscription—Dr, Cheopsus, the Public Betio
factor-,-was presented to hint by the Viceroy.
The preparation has been used in several epidem
ics of choloia, both a, a preventive and curative
measure, and with such great success, that it has
been introduced Intl() nearry al! the general hospitals
of the old,world.
The ole saving that, an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of care, applies with marvelous force
to cholera, and therefore any remedy that will pro
tect us against, this terrible disease should be freely
and persistently used.
All pathologists now agree that the cholera poison
nets on the excretory organs, and keeps them in
working order, must prevent a sufficient accumula
tion of the_ poison to exert its terrible eltects on the
organism. - This is.ti tie not only of cholera, , out of
nearly all other maladies, especially the dilforent
torms of fever. , . . .
The. Great Ziugari Bitters is just such a remedy
as the itb,-ve condition , require. Its acts on the
organs of excretion and secretion,keeping up a per
fect balance between them. This Bitters is com
posed entirely of roots and herbs. so nicely con
cocted that every organ is acted upon and -put in.
tone. Its taste is pleasant and, its effects prompt
and lasting.
Numerous cases of the following disease have
been_ cured by it: Cholera, Diarrlaen, Dysentery,

Cure,4 by Misider's Herb Ratters I
When Mishler's Bitters. were first intro
duced to the public the proprietor did not
feel justified in recommending it as a spe
citie 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 standing,was
Hospital Steward in the Jefferson Hospital,
Philadelphia, for three years, and is withal
a gentleman of undoubted integrity and
one in whose statement the most implicit
confidencellan be placed :
Lancaster, November 3d, 1865.
Dr. Mishler—Dear Sin—Knowing ,that
the Cholera with its dread fu 1 ravages is now
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 quantify of your bitter 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..
570,108,37
Being thus urged, and having noticed
the Bitters'were constantly curing the most
violent cases of Diarriwea, Cholera liorbus
and kindred complaints,Dr. Mishler at last
offered his compounds as a cure for Cholera
The result has exceeded his most sanguine
expectations and fully justifies all that Mr.
Baker says in his note. It certainly proves
that Mr. Baker's practical knowledge of
medicine tar exceeds that of most doctors
who too often dose their patients with de
leterious drugs on some absurd theory.—
For tile purpose of showing that Mishler's
Herb Bitters cure Cholera we give
below a few facts:
All intelligent persons who have investi
gated the Origin of cholera, agree that it is
caused by poison introduced and generated
into the system by impure water, damp
ness, filth and over-crowded rooms with
delicient ventilation. This is proved by
the fact that cholera al ways 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 IsTeNt* ork. about the middle of
April with cholera a board a number of the
passengers having died during the voyage
with this coinplalim Among the passen
gers were a fluidly named Schmith, from
Baden, Germany. This fitfully was at
tacked with cholera. Fortu lately for them
they had friends living in this city (Lan
caster. Pa.,) who knew the virtues of Mish
ler's Bitter:s and who procured a bottle and
sent it to the Sebmith Madly. 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: itsafe:ly reached the
Schiniths. On its arrival aboard the Vir
g 121.ia, Henry Schmid] and Christ. Schmitt]
were both labming under choleric symp
toms: Mrs. Marcia Schmitt], 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 an Angel of
Mercy found the poor Schmith family.—
Henry Schmith was the first to try it, and
so instantaneous was the relief he experi
enced that he gave itto nis wife and brother
both of whom it at once relieved. They
used the entire contents of the bottle and
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 says.—
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 Schmitt] stated
that all the compounds the doctors had
given him did no good, but that one 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
sulistatitiallyJtUS substantially as given
above, and he Urther said that if the clod
tors had not kept the first bottle from
reaching him, his son would yet hrve been
living. Mrs. ;Schmidt was still weak from
the effect of cholera, but the continued use
of the Bitters were most surely restoring
her accustomed vigor.
It is not to be expected that regular M.
Ds. will admit that any remedy not to be
found in the Dispensatory will cure Chol
era or any other complaint, bat candor
compels Dr. D. 11. Bissell of the Cholera
Hospital ship " Falcon" to admit that he
believes Mishler's Bitters to be a " very
good Tonic." In reply as to a case of Bit
ters that was sent to him by a well known
,-entleman of Lancaster, he writes as fol
lows :
Hospital Ship Falcon,
Quaremtin, New York,June 7th, .1.666.
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 &e.,
that I gave them to the convalescents in
- Hospital. I believe them to be a very
good tonic Bitters, well adapted to all cases
requiring Tonic remedies.
D. 11. BISSELL * Physician,
HOspital Ship "Falcon."
This letter from Dr. Bissell,just 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 fromforeigncoun
tries,are subject to his inspection and con
trol, and the treat experience lie 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 Schmidt
family—who while in the Steamer Vir
ginia, were under Dr. Bissell's control,
shows what the Bitters have done and can
do.
Another casP of Cholera cured by Mish
ler.s 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,Mishler's
Bitters: The effect was instantaneous ;
heat was generated in the body, perspira
tion was induced and after ,using one bat
tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored.
Mishler's BitArs cures Cholera by coun
teracting the poison which is the cause of
the disease. Poison in the system,whether
generated by bad air, filth, &e., as in
Cholera, -or introduced by the bite 'of a
venomous snake or mad dog will be ex
pelled and all. bad syniptons allayed by
the use of Miebler's Herb Bitters. The
above proves this to lie the fact in Cholera
and the certificate of Mr.Rhinehart proves
that Mishler's Diners will cure the bite of
a poisonous snake:
. Lancaster, July 4th, 1565.
Mr. 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 large
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. I 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 EU go to work again. The poison was
all drawn out and Mishler's Herb Bitters
was the only medicine or application that
I made use of. Mr. 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 wlmt is called a copper snake;
at any rate, whether it was the same ono
that bitme or hot—one thing is certain—
that your Bitters cured the bite of a snake
in my case. for which I shall ever be thank
ful, as I believe:it was the ni,eansof saving
my hand.
I shall be pleased to personally' satisfy
any, one of the truth of the above.
- Yours. JACOB RINEHART.
