They 'were sitting side by side;
And she sighed, and then he sighed ;
Said he, " My darling idol,"
And he idled, and then she idled.;
" You are creation's belle,"
And she bellowed, and then be bellowed ;
On , my soul there's such a weight,"
And. he waited, and then she waited ;
" Your hand I ask so bold I've grown,"
And she groaned, and then he groaned :
" You shall have a private' gig,"
And she giggled, and then he giggled;
Said she, " My dearest Luke,"
And he looked, and then she looked ;

And he wilted, and then she wilted.
The Getityshum Spring.
The Gettysburn. Springs have at, length
been Tairly pitted against their most cele
brated cotemporartes of the old and ucw
worlds.
This has happened in this city, in a
Case of rheumatic gout, on which not oNly
the most famous foreiin aid do.niestie
mineral waters, but the whole resources
of the medical profession have been vainly
tried.
It was accompanied with the urate de
posites in the form of Lard lumps ur chalk
stones, which were dropping from Lis
limbs and body. It had crippled him fur
an ordinary life time, and was constantly
getting worse.
It was in short one of those cases which
lithia waters are supposed to cure, though
several of them failed to do so, among the
rest the famous Vichey.
An eminent physician here pronounced
the case as far beyond the reach of ordina
ry remedies, or of any other than miracu
lous agency, as if he was entombed.
Yet this desperate and reputed incura
ble easels slowly suceumbi ng to the power
of the strange water which bubbles from
the rocks near Gettysburg. It is the
first instance in which this water has
produced the violent aggravation of
rheumatic or gouty symptoms ascribed to
the lithia Baden-Baden waters of Eu
rope. It was produced by taking it in
two large doses. But the patient has
persevered, and the result is the disap
pearance of one of the largest lumps, and
the softening and diminution of the
balance of them.
The venders of mineral waters in this
city, artificial and natural, are puzzled
and alarmed at this illustration of the
poiver of the unknown water, without
taste or odor.
- This single case is likely to do more
for Gettysburg than all the big Colon:it
tees, and blustering pretensions of nego ,
liators who have• figured in connection
with the springs, disgracing themselves,
and mortifying the people of Gettysburg.

Pennsylvania Products..
The three great staples in the produc
.:iion:of:whicl. Pennsylvania is pre-emi
nent, Are coal, pig iron -and petroleum.
The immense extent of the industries in
volved in these prod ucts,and the enormous
value to which each cf them has risen in
]ate years, are chronicled in the report of
the Board of Trade for IS66.just publish
ed in Philadelphia. The product of
coal in Pennsylvania during the year
is estimated in round-numbers at 16,000,-
000 tons, or one fourth more than in
1860'; and its value at the markets of
first . . delivery was at least $80,000,000.
The, product of petroleum during the
year is given at nearly — 90,0011,000 of
gallons, valued at over $47,20,000. The
product •of pig iron during the year is
given at 040,000 tows, valued at over
'-$31,000,000. The aggregate value of
coal, petroleum and Inc , . iron, for the year,
was $158,281,243 The t're' s s, in speak

THE GREAT
ZINGARI
A Sure-Pzeveutatire of
CHOLERA
ms woN lEt PLI EMEDY was discovered
and introduced about twenty years ago by Dr.
S. cheep-its, an eminent Egyptian physician.
He had long seen and felt the want of some reme
dy which would strike at the root oA: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 day 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
lend to think and experiment; and after ten years of
study and labor, he presented to his fellow-man the
wonderful Zingari Bitters. The effect of this prep
aration in the prevention and cure of disease, was
marvellous and 'astonishing, that the most Bat
tering marks of royal favor were, bestowed upon
him who discovered it. His name Was placed upon
the HolPor Nobles, anti a gold medal with the fol
lowing inscription—Dr, Cheopans,the Public Bene
factor—was presented to him by lle 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 nearlyall the general hospitals
of the old world.
- -
The old saying that an ounce of prevention is
worth x pound of cure, applies with marvelous force
to cholera, and therefore any remedy that will pro
tem ti against this terrible disease should be frrely
and persistentlyused.
All pathologists now agree that the cholera poison
acts on the excretory organs, and keeps them in
working order, mnst prevent a stiftiniem accumula
tion of the poison M exert its terrible °fleets on the
organism. This is true not only of cholera, but of
nearly all other maladies, especially the different
Palms of fever.
The Great Zingari Bitters isjust such a remedy
as the :Marc conditions require. Its acts on the
organs of excretion and secretion,keeping up a per
feet 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 effticts prompt
and lasting.
Numerous cases of the following disease have
been cured by it% cholera, Diarrhum, Dysentery,
Typhoid and Typhus Fever, Fever, Ague, .Nervous
PeVtl,t , y, Annernift t Female Irregularities, Dyspep
sia, Flatulency, co.ic., Scrofula,' tee.

BITTERS.
Cured by' Mishier's Ilerb.Bitters
When Mishier's Bitters were first intro
duced to the public the propriotor did not
feel justified in recommending it as a spe
cific for Cholera. During the fall of 1866,
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
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.
Yours respectfully.
.IACOB L. BAKER
Being thus urged, and having noticed
the Bitters were constantlycuring the most
violent cases of Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus
and kindred complain ts,Dr. Mish ler at last
offered his compounds as a cure tbr 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
n.edicine far exceeds that of most doctors
who too often 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 persons who hare investi
gated the 'origin of cholera, agree that it is
cansed 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 diet that cholera always rages worse
on board of ships where all of the above
causes are bound more or less combined.
To cure cholera, and also to prevent it.it is
necessary to neutralize this position, and
that Misbler'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
gers were a family named Schmith, from
Baden, Germany. This thmilv was at
tacked with cholera. Fortunately for thew
they had friends living in this city i
rtn
easte r. Pa.,) who knew the virtues ofMish
ler's Bitters and who procured a bottle and
sent it to the Schmith faintly. When this
peek age arrived at Quaraim tine,the doctors
examined it and confiscated the contents.
Another bottle was procured and packed in
a more secure manner: it safely reached the
Sehmiths. On its arrival aboard the Vir
ginia, Henry Schmith and Christ. Schmith
were both laboring tinder choleric symp
toms: Mrs. Marcia Schmith, wife os 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 Schmitt) family.—
Henry Schmith was the first to try it, and
so instantaneous was the relief he experi
enced that he gave itto his wi remind 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. M - r- Henry Schmidt 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 h.:atilt:a beat and causing
tin to perspire freely. Ills ste.ement was
substaritiall was substantially as given
above, and f. farther said that if the doc
tors had not kept the first bottle front
reaching him, his son would yet lirve been
living. Mrs. Selunith was still weak front
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, but candor
compels Dr. D. 1-1. Bissell of the Cholera' s
Hospital ship " Falcon" to admit that he
believes Mishler's Bitters to be. a " very
good Tommie." In reply as to a ease of Bit
ters that was sent to thin by a well known
gentleman of Lancaster, he writes as fol
lows :
Hospital Ship Falcon,
Q11:11113111», New York,3 tine 7th,
George S. Rowbotham, Esq.— Dear Sir :
Yours of the I:3d, inst. is to hand. In re
ply, I beg leave to say, that I received the
case of Bitters you sent me for trial Lt.c.,
that I gave them to the convalescents in
llospitaL I believe them to be a very
good tonic Bit( et's, well adapted to all eases
requiring Tonic remedies.
D. 3i. BISSELL, Physician,
Hospital Ship 'Falcon."
This letter from Dr. Bissell,jnst after the
reception of the Bitters, and betbre be had
time and opportunity to thoroughly test
their wonderful medicinal properties is
considered an important endorsement, as
that gentleman to-clay otxmpies 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 fortign coun
tries,are subject to his inspection and con
trol, and the great experience he has 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 Schro th
ihmily—who while in the Steamer
wore under Dr. Bissell's control,
shows what the Bitters have done and can
do.
Another ea.s.s of Cholera eared by Mish
ler,s Herb Bitters is that of Mr. Pearsol of
York. - county, who,niter suffering severely
from all the symptons of Cholera, finally
beeatne collapsed and while in this state,
(the doctors stating that he NV2*. beyond re
lief) a frigpd administered freely;Mishier's
Bitters. The effect was instantaneous ;
heat was generated in the body, perspira
tion was^inclurnu I,vud after using one b:)t
tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored.
Mishler's Bitters cures Cookent by coun
teracting the poison which is the cause of
the disease. l'oisou in the system,whether
generated by bad sir. filth. ac., es in
Cholera, 'or introduced by the bite of a
venomous snake or mad dog will be ex
pelled and all bad symptom: allayed by
the' use of Mlchler's Herb Bitters. The
above proves - this to be the fact' in Cholera
and the certificate of Mr.Rhinehart proves
that Misbler's Milers will cure 't he, bite of
a poisonous snake: '
Lancaster, July 4th, 1865.
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 he work
ing upmy arm. I suffered great pain in
my hand and arm ; bad to quit work and
was afraid I would be compelled to have
my hand amputated. I came toyou, 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, applictition that
I made rise of. Mr. Cltristian Burns, a
near neighbor of mine, went out-a day or
two after to - the place where I was bitten,
and'killed wh - ata believe *as the same
snake that bit me-as lie caught within five
yards of the spot where I was bitten, It
proyedlo be what is called a copper snake;
at any rate, whether it Was the same one
that bit me or not—one thing is certain=
that your' itters cured the bite of a'snake
in my case for wbich shall ever be thank
ful; as I belleye it was the means of saving
My hand. "
. .
I shall "be pleased to personally satisfy
'any one or the truth of the above.
Yours. - JACOB RINSHART.
