The undersigned. members of the Executive Commit* tee of the Crest Central Fair for the Sanitary Commis slor, beg to invite the co-operation of all their fellow citizens, especially of those resident In Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, fn this important enter prise. It le proposed to hold the Fair in PHILADEL PHIA in the first week in JDN 8 next, and It is confi dently expected that the contributions coming from a population so benevolent and patriotic as that which inhabits tie Central States, and representing the most impoitant tid varied branches of industry and ait, will sec ore a in aid of the funds of the Com mission and foMne benefit of the Soldier at least equal to that which has attended similar undertakings in other cities. It is not necessary to say a word to stimu late sympathy for the soldier; we feel for them all as brethren, and the popular heart seeks only the best mode of manifesting that sympathy In the most efficient and practical way. These Fairs in ocher rlaceß have been productive of great results. By this means Chicago has recently raised for this object £60,C00, Boston #160,000. and Cincinnati more than S2CO,OCO. We appeal, then, with the greatest con fidence to the inhabitants of the Central States, especi ally to those who constitute the great industrial classes, to send us contributions, the productions of their skill and workmanship. We appeal to them in the interest of no party, radical or conservative, Bepublioan or De mocratic. administration or anti-administration. We know only 'this, that to send our national soldiers in the field supplies to supplement those Government un dertakes to give them, but which they sometimes fall to receive, end thus to relieve them when sick and In miteiy. is a work of Christian charity, and that it is a VfoTK of intelligent patriotism also, as economizing their life, health, and efficiency, cn which, under God, the nation depends in this its time of trouble. We therefore ask every clergyman to announce this humsne undertaking to his people, aod to advise them to do what they can to farther it. We ask the press to give it the widest publicity and the most earnest en couragement We call on every workshop, factory, aud mill for a specimen of the best thing it c. n turn out; on etexy artist, great and small, for one of his creations; on all loyal women for the exercise of their taste and industry; on farmers, for the product) of their fields and dairies The miner* the naturalist, the man of scWnee, the traveller, can each e«nS something that can. at the very least, be converted into a blanket that will warn, and may save from death, some one soldier Whom Go vernment supplies 1 ave failed to reach. Every one who can produce anything that has money value is invited lo give a simple of hie beat work as an offering to the cause of national unity. Every workingman, mechanic, or farmer, who can make a pair of shoes, or raisea bushel of apples, is called on do contribute something that can be turned Into money, and again from money Into the iz.eßns of economizing the health and life of our national soldier*. Committees have been appointed in each department of industry and art whose business It will be to solicit contributions for the|Fair, each inftts own speoial branch. These committees will place themselves in communica tion with those persons who may wish to aid US. In the meantime, it is recommended that local Committees or associations te formed in every portion of Pennsylva nia- Delaware, and Ne sv Jersey, with a view of organi sing the industry of their respective neighborhoods, so as to seeme contributions for the Fair. Cf mmUieeß of Ladies have also been organized, to co operate with those of the Gentlemen in soliciting con tributions. a list of all these committees mu be shortly published and distributed. In the meantime, thoso who are dis posed «o fid ns or who may desire any farther informa tion on the eobj*ct, are requested to address CSABLES J. fcTILLE, Corresponding Secretary of the Executive Cob: m'ttee of the Great Central Fair, No. 1307 CHEST NUT Street, JOHN WELSH, Chairman.

Mass., ITor. 24,1883. “Pear Sir: I have been, afflicted many years, with severe prostrating cramps in my Scabs, cold feet and hands, and a general disordered system Physicians and medicines failed to reliove me. While visiting some friends in New York, who were using Plantation Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I commenced with a small wine-glassful after dinner. Feeling better by de grees, in a few days I was astonished to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me, and 1 could sleep the night through, which I had not done for years. I feel like another being. My apatite and strength have also greatly Improved by the use of the Plantation Bitters. “Respectfully, JUDITH RUtJSBL.’* “ * * * I have been in the army hospital for four* teen months—speechless and nearly dead. At Alton, 111., they gave me a bottle of Plantation Bitters. * * * Three bottles restored ray speech and cured me. * 0. A.

They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, win tergreen, sassafras, roots, herbs, Ac., all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum. Persons of sedentary habits* troubled with weakness, lwsHude* palpitation of the heart, lack of appetite, dis tress after eating, torpid liver, constipation Ac., deserve to suffer If they will not try them.' They are recommended by the highest medical autho rities and are warranted to produce an immediate bene ficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and harmless.
