Vlnejjar Bitters are not a" vile Fancy Drinlc,
rnade of Poor Rum, Whisker, Proof Spirits and Refuse
Liquon, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please the
taste, called " Tonics," " Appetizers," " Restorers,"
Sc., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin,
but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots
and herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are the Great Wood Purifier and a Life-Riving
Principle, a Perlect Renovator and Invigorator of the
System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring
the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing
and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy
of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their
results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease.
No Person can take these Bitters accord
ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided
their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point
of repair.
Dyspepsia or Inrtlsrost Ion. .Headache, Pain
in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Diz
liness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the
Heart, Inflammation of the l.unjs, Pain in the regions of
the Kidr.evs, and a hundred other painful symptoms,
are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaints
it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guar
antee of its merits than a lensthv advertisement.
For Keinalc Complaints, m young or old,
married or single, at the dawn cf womanhood, or' the
turn of life, these Tonic Iuers display so decided an
influence that a marked improvement is soon percep
tible. For Inflammatory nnd Clironlc Rheu
matism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious,
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, J'iseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys and P.ladder, these Bitters have
been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by
Vitiated Blood, whcli is generally produced by derange
ment of the Disrestive Organs.
They are a Oentlc Purgative ns well ns
Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of acting
as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam
mation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious
Diseases.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-worms. Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, Ery
sipelas. Itch, Scurfis, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature,
are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a
Short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in
such cases will convince the most incredulous of their
curative effects.
Cleanse the VIIIaol Blood whenever voo
find its impurities bursting through the skin in Timples,
Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is
foul : your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood
pure, and the health of the system will follow.
Orate ful thousands' proclaim Vinegar Bit
ters: the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system.
Pin, Tape, anil oher Worms, lurking in
the system of so many thousands, are effectually de
stroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiol
ogist : There is scarcely an individual upon the face of the
tarth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms.
It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but iwon the diseased humors and siimy
deposits that breed these living monsters cf disease.
No system of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmin
tics will free the system from worms like these Bit
ters. Mechanieal Diseases. Persons engaged in
Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters,
Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, will
be subject to para'vsis of the Bowels. To puard against
this take a dose of Walker's Vinegar Bitters once
or twice a wee':, as a Preventive.
Bilious. Remittent, nnd Intermittent
Fevers, which are so prevalent in the vaileys of our
great rH-ers throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Ten
nessee, Cumberland, Arkansas. Red, Colorado, Braros,
Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile. Savannah, Roan
oke, James, and many others, with their vast tributa
ries, throughout our entire country during the Summer
and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of
unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied
by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. There are always more or less
obstructions of the liver, a weakness nnd irritable state
of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being
clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat
ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the pnrpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's
Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the
dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels are
loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of
the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions
of the digestive organs.
Scrofula, or King' Evil, White Swellings,
Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, Scrofulous
Inflammations. Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af
fections, OM Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes,
etc., etc In these, as m all other constitutional Dis
eases, Wat.ker's Vinecm Bitters have shown their
great curative powers in the most obstinate and intract
able case. . . . .
Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters
act on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying
the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away
the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits)
the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure
is effected.
The properties of Dr. Walker's Vinegar
Bitters are Aperient. Diaphoretic and Carminative,
Nutritious Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant.
Sudorific Alterative, and Anti-Bilious.
The Aperient and mild Laxative properties of
Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitters are the best safe-'
gnard in all cases of eruptions and malignant fevers,
their balsamic, healing, and soothing properties protect
the humors of the fauces- Their Sedative properties
allay pain in the nervous system, stomach, and bowels
either from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps etc
Their Counter-irritant influence extends throughout
the system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kid
neys, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. Their
Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the secre
tion of bile, and its discharges through the biliary ducts,
and are superior to all remedial agents, fur the cure ol
Bilious Fever. Fever and Ague, etc "
Fortify the body ngait disease by puri
fying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitteks. No epi
demic can take hold of a system thus forearmed. The
liver, the stomach, the bowe's, the kidneys, and the
nerves are rendered Uiseae-proof. by this great invig-
Xrant. . . . . , .
Directions. Take of the Bitters on going t bed
t night from a half to ona and one-haif wine-glassfull.
Eat good nourishing food, such as beefsteak, mutton
chop, venison, roast beef, and vegetables, and take
out-door exercise. They are composed of purely veget
able ingredients, and conta.ii no spirit.

A WOMAN METAMORPHOSED.
A Story Told for Truth and Vouched for,
but which the Reader May Believe or
Not
From the MUionri Democrat, A uyunt 22.
Some fifteen years ago, at one of the
principal seminaries in Ohio were two be
autilul young ladies, whom circumstances
threw unusually close together. They
became like the friends in Shakespeare,
"a double cherry growing oa one stem."
They studied together being in the same
class, roomed together,' ate slate pencils
together, and in their noctural envelopes,
sat at their room window to gaze upou
the moonlight and tom-cats, who slept on
the adjoining roof. In the course of time
they graduated, and each went to her
home. Hut their friendship was not im
paired by distance, and the national re
veuue was considerably increased by the
postage on daily letters from each to the
other full of affection and not crossed
more than twice. In 1SG3 one of them
became acquainted with a gallant soldier
from Iowa, holding the rank of colonel,
who had distinguished himself during the
war. A brief acquaintance formed dur
ing the furlough soon ripened into love,
nnd finally culminated iu a happy mar
riage. For two years they lived together,
and under their roof no guest save happi
ness seemed to have been admitted. One
chiltf, the idol of its parents, teas Lorn to
them Towards the end of 18G5, how
ever, people began to notice that Mrs.
bad changed considerably in appear
ance. Her voice, once soft and silvery,
had now a geuuinc masculine ring.. Her
hands seemed no longer small and fragile,
under their weight of rings, but large
and bony. Au indescribable change in
her walk was apparent, and at last a lux
uriant beard forced its way upon her
face. It was painfully evident that her
sex was chau'ing. Physicians and sur
geons were called in, and all were aston
ished, but none could prevent nature from
carrying out her strange freak. The uu
fortunate wife, almost brokeu hearted,
begged of her husband to apply for a di
vorce. He applied for it, and it was
grauted. Mrs. , throwing off the pet
ticoat and panicr, which were hardly com
patible with the beard, gave up her
feminine accomplishments and pursuits,
forsook the sewing machine, treated talk
ing as a lost art, and earned her way by
giving mu.-ic lessons on the piano. Of
music she had always been very fond, and
her rare accomplishments now stood her
in good stead. Through all this time,
even when parted from her busbaud, she
had been in correspondence with her faith
ful friend and schoolmate of years before.
The changes which caused husband and
friends to forsake her had uo effect upon
the faithful heart of her girl friend. And
uow eomcs the strangest part of this
truthful and wonderful story. The school
girls of ten years ago are now mau and
wife. When .Mrs. developed into
Mr. , she naturally turned for con
solation and friendship to her old friend
and talked love, not as the school girl,
but as the man. In the ucw character
she won again the heart which was al
ready hers. They were betrothed and
married, and now live together happily
in the State of Iowa, prosperous in busi
ness and highly respected by all who
know them. As a matter of course the
names of the parties are withheld, on ac
count of the prominent positions they
hold iu society, and to shield them from
the curious gazes of all who visit their
city. A correspondent of the Democrat
while traveling there heard this strange
story; went into their store, and made a
small purchase in order to obtain a view
of this strange couple. He found them
both in the store. The husband may bt;
some tweuty ciht or thirty years of age.
but does not look older than a man ol
tweufy five. His figure is slight aud weli
knit. His height is about live feet live
inches, and his weight may be lo'J or 140
pounds. His hair is a wavy brown, al
most black, and be wears a neat lTtllc
mustache but no beard, though his "chin
new reaped showed like a stubble field iu
harvest time." His features are regular
and pleasing; eyes dark and mouth small
and firm The face is not that of a wo
man, but of a keen, active and caltivated
man. His wife (or her wife, as the read
er may prefer), is about twenty sis or
twenty seven, vory young looking, with
an abundance of blond hair and very
sweet dark blue eyes. She seemed very
fond of her husband, aud followed his
every motion with her eyes, never speak
in"' to him without addressing him as
"dear." Their life, according to the
neighbors, is au uninterrupted honey
moon. .

BUCKALEW OR HARTRANFT?
The political contest in this State cen
ters chiefly on the candidates for Gover
nor. There arc other important positions
to be filled, as Auditor General and Con
grcssmcn at Large, but all else is held in
abeyance for the Gubernatorial fight.
This has changed phase considerably, so
that in place ot its being a question wnc
ther liuckalcw is not greatly superior to
Ilartranft, it is inquired whether he would
be wanted at all. An array of facts has
developed against him that is absolutely
startling. He is a chronic office seeker,
has held office for twenty years, manag
ing to derive from his public career 100,
0U0 in salaries. This is a type of men
not admired in this country. His public
career has not been such as to recom
mend him for the Governorship at this
time. Consistent in his disloyalty, he
was blatant iu his denunciations of Lin
coln on his return from a forcigu mission;
elevated to the United States Senate, he
took the oath of ofucc and yet correspond
ed with rebels, fomented opposition to the
drafts, encouraged desertion, aud in var
ious ways aided and encouraged the re
bellion. This countenance aud support,
extended by Uuckalew aud others of like
spirit, prolonged the war thus sending to
their graves many of the brave boys in
blue. The war has been over seven years.
We ask if the people are willing that a
man like this shall have the honor of pre
siding over a loyal State. The auswer
comes from all directions, no.
General HartranTt was a civilian when
the war was broke out but joined the
army, fought at Hull Hun, and so through
the successive battles of the war. There
is no flaw in his record, whether for loy
alty, bravery, or ability. He become fa
mous in deeds of -desperate daring. Re
entering civil life, he was chosen Auditor
General an office of great responsibility,
whuse duties require a well balanced judg
uient, fiue legal discrimination, and a
fearless and vigorous mind, lie has fill
ed the office to universal satisfaction
the legislature extending the term in his
case, till his successor is regularly elect
ed. He has collected S35.000.000 of ac
count due the State ; his decisions in com
plicated cases have been sustained by the
courts, aud his record thus without re
proach. As one of the Commissioners of
the Sinking Fund, he has aided in reduc
ing the State debt over ten millions dol
lars in eight years. Against him but a
single charges cf imprudence has even
been alleged, aud tlm was shown to have
been remedied, as soon as the true charac
ter of the person he was dealing with was
revealed to him. This is a brief resume
of the two candidates their records and
their claims. Is it surprising that Hart
ranft is so uuiversally pcrferred ?
Candidates represent parties is there
anything in the parties to indicate a
change of preference ? If Huckalew is
not belied he secretly dislikes the Liberal
Democratic movement in which he is
identified. Yet he affiliates with it, and
goes marching forward under Grceleys
warlike banner. We ask the soldiers ol
the war, Democrats or Republicans, whe
ther they can sustain this party, which
boldly proposes to annual the achieve
ments of their bravery and valor, and
treat conquered rebels as though they
were entitled to honor for their crimes 'I
There is no misapprehension on this point.
Mr Greeley insists that they shall be
made to forget the war which means
that their sorrowful rcmemberances are
to be soothed away by agreeable offices;
aud Huckalew travels on the same line.
Do wo want a party or man representing
these principles for Governor?
General ilartranft stands associated
with a party whose record is heroic. It
fought for the entire Union during the
war. It has stood firm for a united coun
try since the war, aud has promoted peace,
quietude and prosperity. The best era
the countrp has kuown is linked with the
administration of the goveruaient by the
Republican party. Willi all this record,
so noble and good, Ilartranft stands iden
tified. He not only will be elected Gov
ernor by a handsome majority, but it is
fitting "that be should be. Pittsburgh

The notorious Hugh Mara, who shot
Alderman McMulIen, at a saloon in
Philadelphia a few weeks ago, and for
whose arrest a reward of 815,000 was of
fered, was captured on Thursday night
last. Mara was recognized by Alderman
John 15. Ruck, as the latter was on his
way home, at the Conner of Hroad aud
Viue streets. Mara at first deuicd his
identity, but the Allermiti seized him,
when bis prisoner threw oil all disguise
and acknowledged himself to be the man
that was wanted. It is believed that
Mara has been secreted in city sinco the
attempted assassination of McMulliu.
A great disaster occurred on Long Is
land Sound on Friday morniug last. The
steam propellor Metis, carrying passen
gers between New York and Providence,
during the heavy storm which prevailed
at the time, collided with a schooner,
knocking a hole through the bottom of
the steamer. The boat at once commenc
ed sinking. There were one hundred
and fifty persons on board, about half of
whom perished. Most of those who es
caped saved themselves by climbing on
the upper deck, which separated from
the hull and was carried to the shove by
the
ate.
A GENEROUS CONQUEROR
Hartrasft and a Rebel Colonel,
The Norristown Herald says; At are

Gen. Ilartranft presided. It fell to his
lot to make the opening speech, which her
did in a plain practical manner, although
at the same time enlisting the strictest at
tention of the assembled visitors. After
dilating in a pleasing style concerning his
college associations and habits, he con
cluded by referring to the fact "that dur
ing the war he met a Diagnothian brother
on the battle-flel J, who occupied a pree
minent position in the Confederate arirry
and the thought occurred to him at thtf
time that if he (Ilartranft) should have
been captured by the enemy he would
have been well cared for by his college'
associate, and that on the other hand if
his brother should have been his prisoner
he could not have treated him illy. "In
conclusiou I have the pleasuro of intro
troducing to you this evening Col. Henry
Kyd Douglass, of Ilagerstown, Mil., who
will speak to you of Our Re union.' "
'Ihe effect of this coincidence of tho
Union General aud Confederate Colonel
forgetting the bitter old feud from which
they so recently emerged and "shaking
hands over the bloody chasm," electrified
lhc audience, which immediately broker
forth with uproarious applause, and thor
wildest excitement coutinucd for many
minutc3.
Colonel Douglass arose and delivered
the mobt eloquent speech of the evening,
lie prefaced his remarks by faying that!
the "gallant soldier who addressed you
forgot to toil you under what circum
stances he met me on the battlefield. It
was shortly after a bloody contest, when
the warm blood of the brethren North
and South had been freely shed. I was
hard pressed and Ilartranft kept driving,
me back, back, back. I came within ther"
Federal line, displaying a small white,
flag, and bad the extreme pleasure of
meeting may old college friend. He did
uot cxplaiu to you this circumstance."
He drove me from m position, but I do
not intend' that he shall shall drive ta&
from my position this evening."
This acknowledgement of defeat, which'
Hartrauft modestly did not explain to the
society, reminds one of the struggle that"
is now taking place on the battle-ground
in Pennsylvania. Huckalew, the leader
of the Democratic hosts, is trying to con
quer the valiant army of Ilartranft. Ever
siucc the nominating convention at Ilar
risburg cur gallant General has "kept
driving" Huckalew "back, back !" Ob
the second Tuesday in October he will bo
forced to hoist the white flag and make a
complete surrender. "He will be driven
from his position." Hut as Ilartranft
was a personal friend of the Confederate
Colonel, so likewise is he on intimate
terms with Huckalew, the Democratic
leader, who has already stated that he will
make a good Governor. They will have
a pleasant interview, no doubt. The sur
render will have to be made, and the Re
publican party aud the country will ba
saved.
BORN DRUNK.
Among the names registered at Jno
Tombs the other night was that cf a youth,
about fifteen years of age, who had been
arrested for drunkenness. Hut he was
not drunk, nor had he been drinking.
He was, moreover, in good, sound health,
but gave all the external iudications of
being intoxicated when arrested by a
police officer. Upon protesting to tha
keeper of the Tombs that ho was not in
toxicated, it was revealed that the unfor
tuuate youth had been born a natural
druukard, or rather that he bad always
acted like such a thing. He said that al
though in good health, he had never been
able to walk without staggering. His
speech was not unlike that of persons iu
a decided state of intoxication, and when
excited he would mutter and reel. Tho
unfortunate youth was detained uutil tho
next day, and was sent to the courts to
be gazed at through judicial spectacles.
A subsequent investigation of I lie case
proved that the lad had been telling tho
truth about himself ; but his condition re
vealed a deuionstrutiou of the natural law
that the child is a fair copy of his par
ents. It appears that prior to marriage,
the father had been a sooret but confirm
ed inebriate and when the facts became
kuown to the woman thus suddenly ami
unexpectedly, she wept in the most terri
ble manner. Almost broken hearted, sho
contemplated the future misery in store
for her. Months passed away, when it
was discovered that the child nt thrco
years of age acted strangely, and at tho
end of six months the unhappy woman
fully realized all her forebodings. The
effect produced upon the mother was not
without iti influence upon tho father,
however. Realizing, in the midst of
tears cf bitter anguish, ihe sin that bad
been visited upon the child, the man re
formed, lie has now several bright child
ren, and most exemplary "ones, too, they
are. Hut the boy that was brought into
the Tombs was uot drunk, but had en
tailed upon hiiii a life of misery, as it
was a blasted destiny. A. J". Tribune.
