S. B. ROW. EPITOR AXD PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 23, 1859. '
HON. EDWAED BATES ON SLAVERY.
The St. Louis Fvening Xews publishes a long
article giving the views of Mr. Bates" on the
Slavery question. The News, though it does
not speak "by authority," says the opinions it
attributes to Mr. Bates are made np of his pub
lic and private record. As Mr. Bates is like-
ly to be prominent among the opposition can
didates for the .Presidency, the article has at
tracted considerable atteution. lhe main
points it sets forth are as follows :
Mr. Bates does not believe that African sla
very is a beneficial institution, either in a so
cial, political, or religious sense. Not in a
political sense, because it is productive of dis
cords between nations that tolerate it and na
tions that do not, and because it is liable to
panics, and has often ended in bloody revolu
tions. Not in a religious sense, because it
makes the word of God a sealed book to the
slave, and gives his body to the service of a
human master ; whereas the body of every
created being should be freely given to the
service of God. Because Mr. Bates does not
believe that slavery is a beneficial institution,
either in a social, political or religious sense,
he is unalterably opposed to its extension into
territories already free.
Mr. Bates heartily endorses the sentiment,
and holds to the creed of Mr. Clay, who de
clared that his right arm should drop from his
shoulder before he would vote to extend sla
very over one foot of territory already free.
Mr. Bates does not believe that the Constitu
tion carries slavery into all the territories that
may be acquired by the United States. He
lielieves that freedom is the rule and slavery
the exception. He does not believe that sla
very can exist in any territory acquired by the
government of the LTnited States except by
the positive law of Congress. That law Mr.
Bates would not be in favor of passing, be
cause, for reasons already given, he is opposed
to the extension of slavery into territorj' al
ready free. Mr. Bates denies that the exclu
sion of slave property from territory acquired
by the common blood and treasure cf the U
nion establishes an invidious distinction be
tween the two sections of the Union, and as
serts that the distinction complained of is co
eval with the government, and that the prohi
bition of slavery from free territory was em
bodied in the original compact of the Union,
for which the slave States were allowed in
Congress and in Presidential elections three
Totes for every five slaves. He therefore does
not regard the non-admission of slavery into
territory as establishing a distinction between
property, but simply as maintaining a distinc
tion already established and willingly assented
to by the South since the formation of the
Government. He regards the principle of the
Nebraska bill as rendering the introduction of
slavery into the territories impossible, and
does not believe that Congress will intervene
to protect slave property in the territories.
He firmly adheres to the rights of property in
slaves in the States where slavery already ex
ists, and if President he would execute the
Fugitive Slave Law, if the army and navy of
the government were equal to the task.
He wouid consider the Union a broken com
pass if these plain guarantees were denied by
the deliberate and persevering action of any
part of the confederacy. If Congress should
legalize and pass laws protecting slave prop
erty in territories previously free, Mr. Bates
would execute these laws as promptly as any
other laws of the land. He would not oppose
the admission of a State because ot a pro-sla-Tery
constitution. He would never counte
nance a National organization for any interfe
rence whatever with slavery in the States.
He is glad to see the rapid and peaceful ex
tinction of slavery in Missouri, without the
aid of emancipation parties, and without the
heat and acrimony of domestic discord. By
his own example as well as by precept he has
shown that he prefers to live by his own labor
and not on the labor of slaves. He advocates
the procurement of foreign territory suitable
to-the ready and cheap colonization of free
blacks. The policy already broached in some
States, of selling again into slavery the free
blacks whom humane or grateful masters have
emancipated, unless these freed persons leave
the State, is in the highest degree cruel. It
is barbarous, and it would disgrace the Amer
ican people in the face of Christendom to per
mit such policy to prevail.
A Counter Proposition. A late number
of the Richmond, Virginia, Whig contained
an advertisement offering a reward of $10,000
for the safe delivery of Joshua R. Giddings at
Richmond, or $5,000 for his head, the adver
tiser proposing to be one of a hundred to make
up the amount. Some waggish chap to be
even with the enthusiastic Virginian, oners
through the columns of a northern paper, "to
be one of seventeen (John Brown's number of
" white men,) to take Richmond, and destroy it,
root and branch, if one hair of the head of this
aged man, rj. R. Giddings,) is harmed."
People's Stat. Convention. Levi Kline,
Esq., Chairman of theeople,s State Execu'
five Committee, has issue acalj lor a g.
- x IT W
Convention to meet ai uarnsu on Wednes
day, February 22d, 18C0, "to- "nute their
choice for the next Presidency, nou. &
candidate for Governor, form an fclecto
Ticket, appoint Senatorial, and to designate
the time and mode of electing District dele
gates to the National Convention."
The United States Senate, at the approach
ing session, will stand : Republicans 24, A
mericans 2, Democrats 26, and 4 vacancies to
fill. In the House there will be 113 Republi
cans, 23 South Americans, 8 Anti-Lecompton
Democrats, and 93 Administration Democrats.
--. The petition of John Brown for a writ of er
ror to the judgment rendered by the Circuit
Court of Jefferson county, was presented to
the Supreme Court of Appeals on Friday last.
The court refused the writ of error, and the
execution will therefore take place, as appoin
ted, on th-2d of December.
THE "IE.EEPEESSIBLE C05JTLICT."
Much has been said lately of Mr. Seward's
"irrepressible conflict," as if it were original,
and he is getting the entire credit for a very
harmless expression, particularly Avhen it is
taken in connection with the stern and solemn
avowal uttered in his Rochester speech "to
guard against misapprehension," namely, that
he did not expect that universal freedom would
take place "otherwise than through the several
States co-operating with the Federal Govern,
menl, and all acting in strict coxformitt with
their respective constitutions." So far as
the origin of the phrase, "irrepressible con
flict" is to be considered, we distinctly charge
Mr. Seward with being a literary plagiarist,
for the words are only a genteel paraphrase of
THE LAST DECISIVE CONFLICT of Mr. Roger A.
Pryor, who has recently been elected a "Dem
ocratic" member of-Congress from Virginia,
by a large majority, lie wrote April 26th,
1852, these words :
"There must be a last battle between slavery
and abolition. The struggle will end only with
the destruction of one or other of the two hostile
parties. Shall the South postpone the last de
cisive conflict until defeat is inevitable The
strength of the enemy is hourly increasing.
Eveiy ship load of emigrants discharged in
the streets of New York, augments the forces
of abolition, and every decennial count of the
population of the country, marks the rapid de
cline of the South."
So much for Mr. Seward's originality, and
so much for a comparason between what a New
Yorker may utter, challenged, and a Virginia
Locofoco may proclaim, unchallenged !
Now let us listen a moment to the Hon. Ed
ward Everett, who has not been supposed to
be a very violent Abolition agitator at least
not since he was a candidate for Governor of
Massachusetts, nearly twenty years ago. Yet
in his oration on the Inauguration of the Web
ster Statue, he said :
"lie Mr. Webster, not only confidently an
ticipated what the lapse of seven years has wit
nessed and is witnessing, that the newly acquired
and the newly organized Territories of the Union
would grow up into Free Stales .- but, in common
with all or nearly all the statesmen of the last
generation, he believed, thai free Labor would
ultimately prevail throughout the Coun
try. He thought he saw that, in the opera
tion of the same causes which have produced
this result in the Middle and Eastern States, it
was visibly taking place in the States north of
the cotton-growing region. He inclined to
the opinion, that thus alto, under the influence
of physical and economical causes, Free Labor
would be found most productive, and would ihere-
Jore be ultimately established."
And a little further on, Mr. Everett says :
"It is true that, interpreting the fundament
al law the Constitution on this subject Sla
very, a diversity of opinion between the two
sections of the Union presents itself. Tins
HAS EVER BEEN THE CASE, FIRST OR LAST, IN
RELATION TO EVERY GREAT QUESTION WHICH
HAS DIVIDED THE COUNTRY.
Isn't it as cb-ar as mud that Mr. Roger A.
Prior and Mr. Everett ought to be indicted as
instigators of the late capture of Harper's
Ferry by John Brown's fifteen white men and
four negroes? We hope the locofoco papers
will not fail to sound the alarm against these
arch traitors, when they next play upon their
"harp of a thousand strings," the tune of "Ir
repressible Conflict .'" Come, gentlemen, the
Union is positively in danger this time.
Burglaries in Blair County. The ITolli-
daysburg Register of the ltith Nov. says :
On Saturday night last the house of II. L.
Patterson, Esq., in Gaysport, was entered by
some villian or villians, who picked the lock
on his door, and who succeeded in carrying off
a gold watch and chain worth some $150, a
set of furs worth some $3-7, and perhaps some
other articles. The family think that chloro
forjn was used to prevent their awaking. On
the same night Mr. S. Doboyne's house was
entered, and a revolver and some other arti
cles taken therefrom. Senator Cresswell's
was also entered, and an overcoat stolen. On
Sunday night Wm. F. M'Farland's house was
entered, and his own and his wifes clothing
taken from their sleeping apartment, and the
pockets rifled of a small amount of cash. The
same night the Catholic parsonage was entered
and two Latin books stolen.
Hunter, the son of the Attorney General
who is conducting the trials at Charleston,Va.,
testified that he was one of several who rushed
into the inn at Harper's Ferry and seized,
dragged out and shot one Thompson, who was
confined there as a prisoner. lie states that
Miss Fulke, the sister of the innkeeper, in her
compassion for the prisoner, threw herself be
tween him and the muzzles of their guns, and
holding him fast in her arms, continually made
her own head his shield against their loaded
rifles. She had never seen the man before ;
but, like the true woman, protected the unfor
tunate. He was torn from her by force, thrown
down stairs and shot through the head.
A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury,
writing from Bamberg, under date of Novem
ber 10, says : "An Abolitionist, who calls him
self T. A. Salvo, was taken to day at Bamberg,
on complaint of the inhabitants of the vicinity
thereof, for having indulged in abusive re
marks against the institution of slavery. He
had his hair shaved from one side of his head;
he then received a coat of tar and feathers;
was then rode on a rail beyond the limits of
the 'Q'age, and turned loose, after having re
ceived a lecture, that all the efforts of the Ab
olition party to undermine the institution of
slavery would prove unavailing, &c."
Decidedly Ancient. Speaking of old folks
several of the papers have of late been giving
lists of the most aged men in the country. We
think we know a case that will turn them all
down. There is an old colored woman in Co
lumbia, Ala., who, on being asked her age,
stated that she did not know how old she was
but she cooked for the h anda that duo- tho
Chatahooche river. Some, ain't it 1Nash-

John N. Brown, of Iberville, La., died a few
days ago, at the age ol 54. He left an estate
which is variously estimated at from $700,000
to 1,000,000, all accumulated in sixteen years
from a small investment in sugar planting.
SUMMARY OF NEWS.
More Excitement in Virginia. On the
night of the l7tu instant, a tremendous excite
ment prevailed at Charlestown, Alexandria,
and Richmond, all based upon a rumor that an
attempt-was to be made to rescue Old John
Brown. Governor Wise was called upon for
troops, and they were mustered as speedily as
possible. Some were to hold themselves in
readiness to start at a moment's noticfe ; while
others, with field-pieces, were to be forwarded
by the first express train. By later advices
from Harper's Ferry, it appears that all the
excitement there, which spread throughout
the State, and into Maryland and Washington,
originated in the taking fire and burning of a
wheat-stack ! The wildest terror was caused ;
and at least one thousand men were put under
arms. But not a single enemy incendiary,
insurrectionist, or traitor was -to be found
anywhete, though a pretty thorough search
was instituted. Therefore, no battle ensued,
and the guard about the armory "paced their
lonely rounds" undisturbed. Two thousand
pounds of powder and Minie cartridge-balls
were dispatched from Washington to the scene
of the burning wheat-stack. But the fire was
extingushed before they reached their destina
tion. The alarm was given by Colonel Davis,
who has command of the standing army of oc
cupation at Harper's Ferry, and the citizens,
learning its origin, turned the invectives which
they had poured out upon "Abolition incen
diarism," upon the redoubtable Colonel. They
think he made the Old Dominion appear more
ridiculous than ever in the eyes of. the world.
They are both ashamed of him and themselves.
The Johnstown, Pa., Tribune, of the 18th
inst., has an account of an elopement affair
which is causing some excitement iu that part
of Cambria county. It appears that on the
5th of Oct., Adam Kemerer, constable in Mill
ville borough, left home ostensibly for the
purpose of arresting a man in Blair county.
On the same day, the wife of Geo. Beam, of
Yoder township, left her home to visit, as she
said, her mother in Freeport, Armstrong coun
ty. The protracted absence of both, led to
inquiry, when it was ascertained that Kemerer
had no warrant as he alleged, and as nothing
has been heard of either since they left, and
as suspicions of improper intimacy between
the parties had previously existed, it is be
lieved they have gone together to California.
Kemerer was also collector of State and Coun
ty taxes for Millville, and took away with him
some $G0O of the public funds. His bail have
seized as security his house and lot in the
place named. Kemerer leaves a i ife and three
children ; Mrs. Beams had two children.
An Arkansas paper publishes a thrilling
narrative of an Englishman's adventures in the
gold regions of Kansas. Mr. Pope went to
Pike's Peak, and he and his companions roam
ed about all winter, through the mountains and
on the head of the Platte. For twelve months
they had nothing to cat but fresh meat, with
out salt or pepper. One night they found a
cave, into which they crawled, and found the
bodies of six persons who had frozen to death.
They found great quantities ol gold, but had
scarcely any tools, and made but about twen-tj'-five
dollars per month each. Mr. Pope in
tends to return to the gold region.
A terrible accident occurred on the Indiana
Central Railroad on Friday the 18th, near
Cambridge City. It appears that a rail on the
track running over a bridge had been taken
up for repairs, and before it could be replaced
a train of eighteen cars, filled with hogs, came
along at high speed. The engine and thirteen
cars plunged through the bridge into the river.
The conductor, brakeman, and a drover were
killed, and several firemen were injured. O
ver five hundred hogs were killed. The cars
were literally smashed to pieces.
The Prairie du Chien (Wisconsin) Leader
states that two young ladies, Miss Haskell and
Miss Pool, when walking in the vicinity of
Fancy Creek, Richland county, were pursued
by two bears, one of which struck Miss Pool
with his paw, tearing her breast to the bone,
and causing her death in a few hours. Miss
Haskell escaped with a few scratches. The
bears were killed soon after.
General Bower died very suddenly at Ilum
melstown, Pa.,'on the Cth. It appears that he
hal a very large wart on one of his hands, and
was induced by some to cut it out, and apply
arsenic to destroy the roots. He applied tho
poison on Monday, after having cut out the
wart. The cut being very deep, the poison
communicated with the leading arteries, and
he was destroyed by it.
Hon. Alexander Hunter, of Virginia, profes
ses to be convinced that an attempt will be
made to secure the prisoners at Charlestown.
It is said, that a letter from Urbana, Ohio, ad
dressed to Brown, written in cyphers, which
has been decyphered, tells him to keep in
goods spirits that his friends are mustering,
and will drop along one at a time.
A dispaich has been received in Washing
to City from General Twiggs, to the efTect
that Brownsville, Texas, has been laid in ash

habitants massacred. The statement, howev
er, is discredited at Washington.
It is reported, that the barns, stock yard and
implements, amounting in value to several
thousand dollars, belonging to Messrs. John
Burns, Geo. II. Tate, and Sberley, all of whom
were jurors in the recent trial at Charlestown,
Virginia, have been burned.

PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
PREPARED FOR THE "RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL.'
Mifflin County. Great excitement prevails
in Reedsville and vicinity in consequence of
the recent "burning of several buildings, which
was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.
We noticed the destruction of two barns on
tho night of the 8th, the property of Mr.
Reed. On lhe night following, at about 10
o'clock,the large barn on the farm lately owned
bv Sheriff Williams, was also burued, involv
ing a loss of $1200 to S1500 to John Kline
and Wm. Shimp, who jointly owned the grain.
&c, in it. During Thursday, the citizens,
much alarmed, canvassed the whole matter,
but were unable to obtain any clue of the per
petrators. On Thursday night, nearly every
out building in the town was placed under
surveillance, anda patrol established, lhe
night passed away without alarm until about 5
o'clock on Friday morning, when supposing
all danger to be over, Joseph Reed and II.
Norris, who had been watching the buildings
in the rear of the machine shops near Brother's
Hotel, returned to their homes. In a very
short time thereafter, the flames burst from a
stable in the rear of that shop, and soon re
duced the building to ashes, the citizens being
able to do nothing but prevent the spread of
the fire. The excitement was raised to a
very high pitch by this last act, as it is evident
that the incendiary is in the town. The alarm
extends for miles around Reedsville, the far
mers turning their stock out and keeping
watch every night. No other source being
available, a reward of a 1,000 has been offer
ed for the discovery of the villain who fired
the four buildings. ,
Clinton County. A daring attempt was
made on Monday evening the 14th, to rob the
store of Mackey, Fredericks & Co., at Queens
Run, by a gang who have for some time in
fested that place. The attempt however prov
ed unsuccessful to the robbers, for about 9
o'clock the Sheriff and his posse having had
some intimation by one, who it appeared turn
ed informant, made their way to the spot, and
there awaited the boys' arrival, which was soon
after midnight, when they proceeded to enter
tho store. By some mishap, two of the party
escaped in the darkness, though closely pur
sued and fired at by some ol the Sheriff's party.
One of the chaps has since been overtaken on
the Mountain and brought to Lock Haven. A
large party is still out in search of the other,
and without much doubt he will be caught, and
the whole band brought to speedy justice.
They are doubtless the same fellows who en
tered and robbed the Methodist parsonage,
mentioned in our last, and who have commit
ted several other burglaries at dinerent times.
Indiana County. The squirrels are making
considerable havoc on the corn thatisslanding
in the fields, and in some sections, where the
corn has been shocked along the fences, the
rails are almost continually lined with tiiese
lively, but almost famished little animals. . . .
Several citizens of Indiana went on a hunting
excursion into Rayne township on the 8th
inst., when Mr. Charles Sraystnau shot a largo
deer, which they shared among their friends
when they got home. . . . The prospects of
the North Western Railroad, from Blairsville
to Freeport, are not very flattering just now,
those who own it not being able to proceed
with its construction themselves, and the con
ditions they propose to the Pa. Central are
not sutncienly liberal to induce the last named
company to take hold of its affairs. . . . Mr.
Conrad Woolweaver, of White township, was
jolted ofT a load ot com-fodier, which be was
hauling into Indiana borough on the Ilth
instant, and struck the ground with so much
force as to break his collar boue.
Bedford County. The wife of Dr. William
Vickroy, of Buckstown, a few days since,
started alone in a buggy to visit a neigMwr
residing some disiance oil', and in descending
a steep hill, unluckily a portion of the harness
gave way, which frightened the horse so much
that he became unmanageable, and his plun
ges upset the buggy and precipitated Mrs.
Vickroy ovtr a high embankment, fracturing
one of her thighs in a terrible manner. In
that condition she hobbled to the resilience
of her brother-in-law, Mr. George Vick
roy, a distance of over half a mile. In
formation of the accident was immediately
conveyed to the doctor, who was with his wife
in double-quick time. Mrs. V. is now doing well.
Westmoreland County. On the night of
the 12th injjt., a hoise belonging to Mr. Eli
KiehI,of Ilempfield township, was stolen out
of Mr. Peter Uber's stable, and had not been
heard of at last accounts. . . . On the 8th, Mr.
James Geiger, of Derry township, died from
mortification of the leg, caused by a scratch
received a couple weeks before, and to which
he paid no attention at the time. . . . Week
before last, a little daughter of Gen. C. ?.
Markle had a limb broken by falling from a
fence which she was climbing. . . .Che furnace
of Mr. Alexander Cavin,in Ligonier township,
1 miles from Laughlinstown, was burnt on

Clarion County. Silvester Ilillyard, aged
10 years, son of Johu Ilillyard, Esq., of Red
bank township, had one of his legs amputated
above the knee, on the 14th inst., having been
confined to his bed for 20 months, with disease
of the knee-joint and lower leg. ... Mr. Sam
uel Wisner had recently one finger torn ofl"
and two others badly mangled by a saw in the
mill of Mr. Isaac Hicks, in Paint township. . .
Seneca oil has been found in Cherrytree town
ship, by Messrs. Barnesdale and Parker, near
tho well of Mr. Drake, after boring to the
depth of 80 feet. Drake has a new engine in
operation,and is meeting with his usual success.
Mercer County. Mr. Wm. Condit, of New
Vernon township, on tho evening ol the 12th
inst., was returning home, with another per
son, in a wagon, to which a yoke of oxen were
attached, and when near the house, the bolt
fastening the yoke to the tongue came out,
and the oxen thus being unable to hold the
wagon back, Mr. C. endeavored to get oat in
front and tho other person at the hind end of
the wagon., when by some mean3 unknown. Mr.
C. fell between the wagon bed and wheel re
ceiving such injuries about his head and neck
as to cause almost instant death.
Jefferson County. On Sunday night,Nov.
13th, the house ot Charles Horn, some three
miles up the North Fork, was destroyed by
fire, together with grain, clothing, furniture
ard everything therein. The fire originated
from a stove pipe through the roof, and the
inmates had only time to escape with their
lives. . . . Week before last.Dr.Charles Wood,
of Punxsntawney, while out hunting with his
celebrated dog Cadets, within 2 miles of that
place, killed a catamount that measured five
and a half feet fn length, and 34 inches in
heighth.
Erie County. Twenty-six prisoners were
confined in the county jail on the 7th one of
whom had to be put into the dwelling part,

in large quantities at the bank of the lake, on
the site selected for the Sunbury & Erie Rail
road Depot in the borough of Erie.
Crawford County. On Monday night,Nov.
14th, a house above the College in Meadville,
occupied by a Mr. Montgomery, was burned
to the ground with all it contained, its inmates
escaping with nothing but their lives. A sub
scription has been raised for the distressed
family.
Scorbutic diseases are the parent stock from
which arises a large proportion of the fatal
maladies that afflict mankind. They are as it
were a specie of potatoe rot in the human
constitution, which undermines and corrupts
all the sources of its vitality and hastens its
decay. They are the germ from which springs
Consumption, Rheumatism, Heart Disease,
Liver Complaints,and Eruptive Diseases which
will be recognized as among those most fatal
and destructive to the races of men. So
dreadful are its consequences to human life,
that it is hardly possible to over estimate the
importance of an actual, reliable remedy, that
can sweep out this Scrofulous contamination.
We know then we shall proclaim welcome news
to our readers, of one from such a quarter as

more welcome, w4ien we tell them that it sure

J FERRY. Brown, the eider of the lnsur
recti nu, found guilty of Murder and Trenton in
the. Fit st degree. The above named -insurrection'
caused a great deal of gas to be let off by leadiu-
politicians and the political press of this great
country, and in fact, the majority of the people of
all parties, were more or less excited on reading
the first account of the insurrection me of the
papers trying to make political capital out of tb
affair and others makirg light of the matter. Rm
if it had been an Italian strike for Freedom a
gainst their lawful sovereign, led on by Maizinni
or Garibaldi, the Press of this country, with but
one exception, would call meetings and pass reso
lutions and solicit subscriptions to aid them iu
their so called patriotic work ; bnt amidst all thii
inconsistency there is one man that is not theleat
interested in the fate of Brown or Lis companion,

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
It is a fact that, at some period, every mem
ber of the human family is subject to disease or
disturbance of the bodily functions; but. with the
aid of a good tonie aud the exercise of plain com
mon sense, they may be able so to regulate the sj -tem
as to secure permanent health. In order to ac
complish thisdesired object, the true rourse topur
sue is certainly that which will produce a natural
state of things at the leat hazard of vital strength
and life. For this purpose, Dr. Hostetter has In
troduced to this country a preparation bearing hi
name, which is not a new medicine, but one that
has been tried for years, giving satisfaction to all
who have used it. The Bitters operate powerfully
upon the stomach, bowels, and Jiver, restoring theui
to a healthy and vigorous action, and thus, by
the simple process of strengthening nature, ena
ble the system to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nausea,
Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, or Bilious complaints,
arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach 01
Bowels, prod ucingCramps. Dysentary,Cholic,CL-;-era
Morbus, Ac, these Bitters have no equal.
Diarrhoea dysentery or flux, so generally con
tracted by new settlers, and caused principally b
the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg
ulated by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspep
sia, a disease which is probably more prevalent,
in all its various forms, than any other, and the
cause of which may always bo attributed to de
rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured
without fail by using HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, as per directions on the bottle. For
this disease every physician will recommend Bit
ters of some kind ; then why not use an article
known to be infallible ? All nations have their
Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen
cr of the system iu general; and among them all
there is uot to bo fjund a more healthy peoplo
than the Germans, from whom this preparation em
anated, bayed upon scientific experiments which
have tended to prove the value of this great pre
paration in the scale of medical science.
Fever and A a it.. This trying and provoking
disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the bo
dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a
short time, and rendering him physically and men
tally useless, can be driven from the body by the
use of HOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTER'S.
Further, none of the above-stated diseases can bo
contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit
ters are used as per directions. And as they nei
ther create nausea nor offend the palate, and ren
der unnecessary any change of diet or interrup
tion of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep
and healty digestiou, and the complaint is remo
ved as speedily as is consistent with the produc
tion of a thorough and permanent cure.
For Persons in Advanced Years, who are suffer
ing from an enfeebled consifution and infirm body,
these Bitters are invaluable as a restorative of
strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be
appreciated. And to amotherwhile nursingthesa
Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo
ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demands
of the child, consequently her strength must yield,
and here it is where a good tonic, such as Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters, is needed to impart tempo
rary strength and vigor to tho system. Ladie
should by all means try this remedy for all ca
ses of debility, and, before .0 doing, should ask
their physician, who, if he is acquainted with tb
virtue of tha Stomach Bitters, will recommend
their use in all cases of weakness.
Caution. Wo caution the public- agairat using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for Hostetter s Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and see
that each bottle has the words '-Dr. J. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters"' blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic capcovcring the cork,
and observe that our autograph signature is en the
label. "Prepared a.ndsoldhyIostetter&Smiih,

and dealers generally throughout the United
States, Canada. South America, and Germany.
