PROPELETS AND 1367.
The Commercial records of the country
present•tbe remarkable fact that at reg
ular intervals, beginning with 1827, a
financial crisis, unusually disastrous in
its effects, has occurred, With all our
clap to an advanced civilization, and
especially among that class who have
dcne most to elevate our standard as a
great commercial people, there, is not a
little superstition abroad in the land, and
at timed it is most strikingly manifested
.in circles where least expected.' It is
owing to this superstitious tpadepcy as
mttch as anything else, that the fact
above cited is accepted as conclusive, by
certain dabblers in prophecy, that the
year 1867, and - simply becauso it ends
With seven and is the last of the . decade
which has intervened between similar oc
curieppesin the past—cannot pass with
out a financial revulsion. Absurd as it
may appear, there are many whose com
mercial sagacity in other respects is un
questioned, who are willing to risk their
reputation as lookers into futurity, on the
assertion that we will not slide over the
next twelve months
. liithout a ruinous
smash-up. These apprehensions of
business prostration may not be wholly
groundless--it would be idle to contend
that lve are in that positively healtlity
condition which would, preclude the
possibility of a collapse, .but this' adds
neither strength nor reason to the fatality
theory which takes no accountrof circum
stances, and starts from the broad as
sumption that escape is, out of the ques
tion. True, the years 1827, '37, '47 and
?57 are noted for trade disasters, but we
hold this remarkable only as a coinci
dence which may not happen again in
centuries. It is strange, perhaps un
accountable, but for that reason most un
reliable as a-basis for any argument in
regard to the future. To adopt any other
view would be'a virtual acknowledgment
that men are subject to • periodical fits of
going wrong, and• at- such times act as
theifgli wholly ignorant of • ' the laws of
trades; that' as an offset for living nine
yotap wit *air sober senses they must
pass through one year of probation
',dry insanity: It would be leaving to
,c,hance that whilbevery business man
.nows to be regu7ted by laws as well
defined, and with the penalties as clear
ly laid_ down as if theYwere presented in
the Status of the country—the laws of
trade and produotion.
Let is glance at the circumstances
under which this gloomy _ prophecy is
made. The necessary conditions for its
fulfillment are, in general terms, a failure
of the crops dpring the present year,and
bad management on the part of those
having charge of the finances. These
are necessary to create any serious, wide
spread disturbances in business affairs,
but what reason is there to expect them?
So far, the reports in regard to the crops
are encouraging, and particularly is this
• the case from all sections of the South.
The signs are said to be most propitious,
and 'there is a prevalent belief that a
kind Providence is about to smile on the
land,blessin,g it with plenty andrelieving
the wants of those who have suffered long
and bitterly. We„ have also abundant
promise m the past able management of
Secretary .MeCialloch that his adminis
tration of the finances Will not be want
ing in the skill requisite to the _emer
gency: In. this aspect of the financial
• situation,there is really nothing on which
to base misfortune—rather it is an
earnest pflporoased prosperity, and while
it remains unchanged' we may look for
ward to a steady falling .off in prices—
easier living-less . speculation,and greater
security. „

ZINGART BITTERS.
A Sure Preventative of
C 1 0 - LAM mt_A_
T'WONDERFUL REMEDY was discovered
and introduced about twenty ye:ire:ago by Dr.
•S. eheopsns, an eminent Egyptian physician.
Ile had long seen and felt the want of some reme
dy which would strike at the root of disease, and so
prevent much of the suffeting which the human
nanny was then compelled to endure.
The great question was presented to his mind
every day in vivid colors as ho 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 fellow-man the
wouuetfwl Zingari lintels. The effect of this prep
''ration in the prevention and cure of disease, flea
so marvellous and aitonishing, that the most flat
tering marks of royal favor were bestowed Amon
him who discovered it. Ills name was placed aped
the Roll of Nobles, and a gold medal Nvith the fol
lowing inscription—Dr, Cheapens, the Public Rene
facttii•—was'presented to him by the Viceroy.
The preparation has been used in several epidem
ics of cholera, both as a preventive and curative
measure, and with such great 'success, that it has
been introduced into nearly all the general hospitals
of the old world.
Who' old saying that an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure, applies with marvelous force
to cholera, and therefore any remedy that will pro
tect us against this terribite disease should be freely
and persistently used.
All pathologists now agree that the cholera poison
acts on the excretory organs, and keeps them in
working order, must prevent a sufficient accumula
tion of the poison to exertits terrible elfects on the
organism. This is true not only . of cholera, but of
nearlymil other maladies, especially the different
forms of fever.
. _
The Great Zingari Bitters is just such a remedy
as the above conditions require. Its 'acts on the
organs of excretion and secretiondteeping up aper
feet balance between them. This Bitters is com
posed entirely of roots find herbs, so nicely. con
cocted that every often is aeted 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, Dierrhcen, Dysentery,
Typhoid and Typhus Fever, Fever, Ague, Nervous
Debility, Anaemia, Female Irregularities, Dyspep
sin, Flatulency. Coac, Scrofula, 4EO. - • •

CHOLERA
Cured -by Idishler'sillerb titters!
When Mishler's Bitters were first intro
duced to the public the proprietor did not
feel justified in recommending it as a spe-
dile. for Cholera: Duiing the fall of 1865,,1
Dr. -I‘fishler received the' following note
from Jacob L. Baker, Esq., of Lancaster
Pa.;a member of the Philadelphia College
ofPharmacy. 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 an*
one in wipes° statement the most implici":
confidence can be placed :
Lancaster, November 3d, 1865.
Dr. Mishler—Dear Sin—Knowing that
the Cholera with its dreadful 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 quantity 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. ,
470,198,37
Yours respectfully.
JACOB L. BARER
Being thus urged, and having noticed
the Bitters were constantlycuring the most
violent cases of Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus
and kindred complaints,Dr. Mislilerat last
°tiered his compounds asa 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 1 - - , wledge of
ihedicine far exceeds that of : st doctors
who too often dose their patient:, 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 lbw facts.
dlt 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
deficient ventilation. This is proved by
the fruit 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 Mis tiler'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 hoard a number of the
passengers having died during the voyage
with this complaint. Among the passen
gers were a family named Schmith, from
Baden ' Germany. This finnily was at
tacked with cholera. Fortunately for them
they had friends living in this city I ,an
caster. Pa.,) who knew the virtues 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 Mall nor: lisately reached the'
Schmiths. On its arrival aboard the Vir
ginia, Henry Schmith and Christ. Se Inn ith
were both latio:ing under choleric symp
toms: Mrs. Marcia Schmid], wife or the
former was very bad, not expected to re
cover, and a son had died of the cl read com
plaint and had been buried theday previ
ous. It was in this plight a bottle of Nish
lees Bitters, sent forth like an Angel of
Mercy found the poor Schmith family.—
Henry Schmith vies the first to try it, and
so instantaneous Tvas the relief he experi
enced that be gave itto ins wile 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
irginia,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. Mn' Henry Schmith 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. Ilis statement was
substantially : was substantially as given
above, and ho further said that if the doc
tors had not kept the first bottle from
reachine. ' hill] ' his son would yet hrve been
living. Mrs. Schmith 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.
Ps. will admit that any remedy not to be
found in the Dispensatory will cure Chol
era or any otherl:COmplaint, but candor
compels Dr. D. 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
gentleman of Lancaster, he writes as fol
lows :
Hospital Ship Falcon,
Quarantin, New York,.] tine 7th, 1.903.
George S.'Bowbotham, Esq.— Dear Sir :
Yours of the 23(1, inst. is to band. In re
ply, I beg leave to, say, that I received the
case of Bitters you sent me for trial (Sul.,
that I gave them to the convalescents in
Hospital: I believe them to be a very
good tonic Bitters, well adapted to all eases
requiring Tonic remedies.
D. H. 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 from foreign conn
tries,are subject to his inspection and con
troLand the great experience he hits had
iu the management of that dreadful dis
ease, Cholera, gives an endorsement by
him an unusual importance. - This letter
together with the statement of the Sch m hit
family—who while in the Steamer Vir
ginia, wore under Dr. Bissell's Control,
shows what the Bitters have done and can
do.
Another case of Cholera cured by Mish
ler,s Herb Bitters is that of Mr. Pearsol of
- York county, who,after suffering severely
from all the syrnptons of Cholera; finally
became collapsed and while in this state,
(the doctors stating 1 hat he war beyond re
lief) a friend administered freely : Mishler's
Bitters. The effect was instantaneous ;
heat was
. generated in the body, perspira
tion was induced and after usiugone bot
tle Mr. Pearsol *as entirely restored.
Mishler's Bitters cures Cholera by coun
teracting the poison which is the cause of
the disease. Poison in tAesystem,whether
generated by bad air, filth, &c., as in
Cholera, or introduced by the bite of a
venomous snake or mad dog will be ex
pelled and all bad sytn ptons allayed by
the use of Micbler's Herb Bitters. The
above proves this to be the fact in Cholera
and the certificate of Mr.Rhinehart proves
that Alishler's Billets will cure the bite of
a poisonouesnake
Lancaster, July 4th, 1865.
Mr. B. Mishler—Si r:—Abo ut eight Weeks
since I was bitten in the left hand by a
snak,k, but at the time did not know of
whanpecies 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 to 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 what is called acopper snake;
at any rate, whether it was the same.' one
that bit me or not—one thing is certain—
that your Bitters cured the bite of a snake
in my case - for whichl shall ever be thank
ful, as I believe it was the means of saving
my hand: ' • . ,
I shall be pleased to Personally 'satisfy
any one of the truth of the above. -
Yours. ' JACOB RINEHART.
