- OUB PROSPECTS.
From all parts of oar Congressional District
we are receiving the most encouraging news.
' Wherever Gen. Patton has an opportunity of
, appearing before the people and making their
s. acquaintance, he gains hosts of friends. War-
ren county, we are reliably informed, will give
him not less than from 800 to 1,000 majority,
XcKean connty 300, Jefferson not less than
800, and Venango, the home of Mr. Kerr,
from 150 to 250. Theie majorities,' Mr. Kerr
cannot overcome, and his defeat is therefore
as certain as any future event can possibly be.
It, however, behooves the friends of Patton
" to be op and doing. We have a wily, unscru
pulous and active enemy to flght,and we must
cot permit onr success to be endangered by
apathy or a feeling of security. Let every
member of our party do his duty, and we have
: so fears of a favorable result.
THE "STRAIT TICKET."
The Clearfield Republican the Breckinridge
organ in this place, doesn't seem to like the
."Strait" Douglas Ticket, on which appears
, the name of Hon. James T. Leonard of this
connty, as the Elector or the 24th District.
It calls the straight-outers, "Latter Day Saints
of Democracy," and says the ticket was "form
cd by a bogus organization by men who have
distinguished themselves for disloyalty to the
organization." As this is "a family fight," it
matters little to us how often the Republican
calls Judge Leonard and the Douglas men trai--'
tors and "Latter Day Saints of Democracy;"
with that we have nothing to do. We give it
only as a piece of news, to show the "perfect
: harmony" that exists between the two wings
of the Democracy. In this connection, we are
induced to clip a paragraph from the Phila-
delphia Mercury paper with Douglas procliv
ities. In alluding to the formation of the
"Strait" Electoral Ticket, it says "the faith
ful followers of Douglas and Johnson in this
State have done wisely and well in securing
r a clear and pure electoral ticket," determined,
like Senator Brown of Mississippi, whilst
: maintaining the ultra Southern interpretation
'of the Cincinnati Platform, not to "cheat or
to be cheated." Tho Mercury then goes on
to say :
"Now, Mr. Ilenry D. Foster, the Dcmocra-
cy are extremely anxious that you shall de
'flno your position. You were nominated at
Heading by a Convention which adopted the
same platform now occupied by Douglas and
Johnson. You cordially approved of that
platform when you accepted the nomination
for Governor. You must know that if you
' act in good faith, you cannot sustain the dis
union ticket. You may be sure that by giv
"ing your approval to the "Cresson confusion,"
and attempting to ride two horses with a leg
on each, you will lose the support of the men
who stand by the regular nominees and the
national platform, and are determined neither
to cheat nor be cheated." Every hour you
xtelay to assume the position you are honora
bly bout.d to take before the people of this
.State, will thin the ranks of your supporters,
And Increase the chanches'of your defeat.
Already ,the unconcealed anxiety of the Breck
. inridge taction, that you shall keep silenco
concerning the great issues of the campaign,
. has awakened the suspicion that you are not
true to your pledges or the regulur nominees
of your party. This must have an end. The
Douglas Democracy will take no candidate
upon trust. They will vote for no man who
may turn out to be a political associate of Bi tr
ier and Baker, and a partisan of Yancey and
Rhett. Come, Mr. Foster! "Under which
king, Benzonian 1 Speak or die !"
Asti-Fcsion men roa Fcsios In Pennsyl
" vania Mr. Dougias spoke against fusion and in
' New York for it. Ilis f riends in this State
have been talking and writing for months a-
gainst fusion, and yet, the other day a propo
flition was made by R. II. Haldeman on behalf
"of the Douglas party, and H. M. Fuller on be
half if tho Bell party, to W. II. Welsh, of the
Breckinridge party, that a joint electoral tick
et bo formed on the following basis : Twelve
rmen from the Reading ticket now on botrt the
Douglas and: Brecklnridgo tickets; tcn'JJell
and Everett men and five additional from the
Beading ticket ; said electors to be agreed
' japon by two of tho three contracting parties.
This proposition, strange to say, was declined
by the Breckitiridgers, no profess to be for
.fusion. , We have thus the singular spectacle
.tt Fusion proposed : by the opponents of
4t and rejected by the friends of it fusion and

MONEY! MONEY!!
Tho N. Y. Tribune of a late date says t A
We learn that a meeting of gentlemen op
posed to the election of Abraham Lincoln to
the Presidency of tho United States, most if
not all of them being Breckinridge Democrats,
was held at room No. 1, of the , New York
Hotel, on Tuesday evening last, the 11th inst.,
at half-past 7 b'clcck. It was understood that
at this meeting New York was given up as
hopeless, and that it was determined to trans
fer the last desperate efforts and all the spare
cash of the party to Pennsylvania. The very
liberal subscriptions which sundry great mer
chants of this city have made, to be paid after
completion of the Douglas-Bell-Breckinridge
fusion in New York, are as far as possible to be
transferred there. It is hoped to repeat now
the great operation of 1856 and defeat the lie-,
pnblican candidate for Governor in that State
by tome means or other. Let the Republicans
of Pennsylvania, then,' be on their guard.
They are now likely to have a much more diffi
cult battle in October than has been expected."
We have reason to suspect that some of
this money is being used in Clearfield County,
and we ask every high-minded and honest man
to scan closely the movements of the Breck
inridge politicians and see whether they can
not discover enough to satisfy themselves of
the fact. An unusually active and vigorous
fight is being made by them against Col. Cur
tin and Gen. Patton, and some of the means
used will not stand the test of close scrutiny.
Let every friend of Curtin and Patton be on
his guard, then, so that no march is stolen on
ns, and the election of our candidates jeopar
dized. There is no doubt any longer that the
whole effort now is to defeat Andy Curtin, and
as many of our Congressional candidates as
possible.' But this must not be permitted!
and all that is necessary to prevent it ia a fair
degreo of vigilance and a good turuontof
their friends on the second Tuesday of Oc
tober. GEN. PATTON.
From the Warren Mail of the 15th Sept.
Our candidate for Congress, Gen. John Pat
too, afrived here last Monday evening. An
informal meeting of our Wide Awake Club
was forthwith called as the best way of seeing
him and making his acquaintance. Being cal
led on for a speech, he responded briefly and
happily. Though not a professional speaker,
but merely a working business man, he said he
was not prepared to entertain an audience
with long arguments or eloquent flights of
fancy, but be was very glad to meet his Re
publican friends in Warreu and avow his po
litical sentiments freely and fully. At home
ho said be was well known as a straight out
Republican." The platform adopted at Chica
go met his cordial and hearty approval. If
elected, he should do the best to carry its
noblo principles into practice. lie believed
that the aggressions of the Slave Power had
gone far enough. The doctrine of our lathers
ought to be adhered to and the broad beauti
ful Territories of the West should be dedica
ted to free labor and to tree men. lie was in
favor of a Ilomstead Bill and such a system of
Protection to free labor as will develop the a
bundaut resources of our State. He urged a
thorough and energetic canvass in Warren
County, not simply because he was interested
personally but because it is important at this
crisis to rally all our for.ces for the right be
cause we ought to elect Col. Curtin in Octo
ber and thereby secure the triumph of Lin
coln and Ilaralin in November, next. Al
though he talked but a few minutes, he really
said more to the purpose than Mr. Kerr did in
an hour. Unlike Kerr he seems to believe
that language was made to communicate men's
ideas, not to conceal them, while his unaffect
ed cordiality,of manner; energetic business like
action ; and his earnestness and honest face,
gave force to and confidence in his frank a
vowals of principle, and won him many friends.
The impression he made here is a good one.
We like him most decidedly. lie is a work
er in earnests We believe lie is sound in the
Republican faith and has just'the nerve and
back bone to stand up for our rights on tho
floor of Congress and defy the arrogance and
bluster of the Slave Power. We wish every
voter in the County could meet him. We
are sure they would never prefer the dodg
ing, oily gammon Kerr to the frank honest and
able John Patton of Clearfield County.
Amos Kendall on disunion. The New
York Times publishes a letter from Amos
Kendall to James L. Orr, of S. Carolina, on
the subject of disunion. He denounces all
attempts to break up the Union as treasona
ble and declares that they must and will be
ut down if necessary by force. He reminds
Mr. Orr that 150,000 volunteers were ready to
suppress the disunion movement in 1832, and
tells him that 200,000 will really put down
any similar attempt that may be made now.
He sets forth very clearly and forcibly the
certain ruin in which the South will be involv
in any such policy, and assures Mr. Orr that
the great Middle and Western States will
crush, effectually and forever, any movement
that may aim at a dissolution of the Federal
Union. He scouts as utterly false and danger
ous, the claims of Southern politicians that
Congress must interfere for the protection of
slave property in the Territories, and warns
Mr. Orr that any such power, if once conceded
to the Federal Legislature, will eventually be
used for the destruction of Southern interests.
A Woman Tarred and Feathered. A few
nights since, at Romulous, near Detroit, a wo
man named Jane Longly, the housekeeper of
Jeremiah Gariung, and the mother of three of
his children, was roughly handled by a large
party of neighbors, under the belief that she
had maltreated Ganung's children by his de
ceased wife. The party consisted of men and
boys, with a few women, all in disguise, and
went to the house of Ganung, from which they
look the woman, who was made the victim of
a series of indignities, not the least of which
were an application of a coat of tar and feath
ers, and a ride upon a rail. She was knocked,
and banged about, until, from abuse and ex
posure, she nearly fainted, and was thought
to be in a dying condition. Thirty persons
ivere arrested the next day, including Gan
ung, who made no attempt to defend her, and
one of his legitimate daughters.- '

LETTER FROM BRADY.
Lcthersbcbg, Sept. 18, 18G0.
Mr. Row : Whilst the people of this town
were looking for the speakers of the unterified
Democracy, they were somewhat astonished
by the appearance of Maj. Brady's horse,
which come in with an empty buggy, all safe,
the gallant Major and 'Squire Test having been
spilled out in consequence of running .their
buggy on the one ahead of them. Brady and
Test were soon after brought in, looking as
though they had come in by the underground
Railroad, the former with a prominent protu
berance above his eye, or a little back of it.
After dinner they rallied and got the man they
called Test on the porch-opposite the post of
fice. Boyer, seeing that he was a little weak,
and fearing, perhaps, that he would wilt, fas
tened up a sheet to keep the sun from shining
on bim. ' Test made a great splurge until some
of the people became uneasy listening to half
uttered 8entences,which he repeated frequent
ly when he left the stand and went away. Mr.
Kerr next spoke. You can judge what he
would say. . He is in a fix. He said he should
not tell till after the election which part of
the Democracy be npheld that he was nomi
nated by both wings, and that he stood on the
great National Platform., (Which; one is
that?) There was nothing in tho history of
the country worth recording that the Repub
licans had ever done and, as a matter of
course, everything good had been effected by
the Democracy. He felt confident of success
with Foster. Next came Wallace. He show
ed us the Raftsman's Journal with Adams'
speech ; cried "abolition ;" pitched intoJohn
Patton; and talked something about Curtin
and the "double-skull" lie, which has been
contradicted by the paper that put it in circu
lation. Thus the meeting ended, all convin
ced that somebody would be elected President
in November.
In the evening, John Pauley's horse kick
ed his sulky to pieces. The horse was badly
hurt. Yours, &c, Obsseveh.
SAMUEL M. LAWRENCE. V
Samuel M. Lawrence; Esq., one of our
candidates for the House of Representatives,
has been, for the last few days, making hosts
of friends in this county. . Being a gentleman
of pleasing address, aud possessing, too, those
qualities of the head and heart, that makes a
man of real worth, he has challenged even
the respect of his most bitter partisan oppo
nents. Mr. Lawrence has also endeared him
self to every Republican in this county, by
the high toned and unselfish course he has
pursued while here. For, his own personal
aggrandizement has been to him entirely sec
ondary to the advancement of the great cause
in which every Republican is enlisted. As Mr.
Lawrence will, with our talented, efficient and
eloquent member, Mr. Gordon, represent this
district in tho State Legislature next winter,
we have no fears but that all of our interests
will be regarded with jealous care. He has
been a resident of our district for over six
years, during which time he has made himself
well acquainted with the wants of the people,
and the necessary steps to be taken to devel
op the natural resorces of this part of the
State. In short, all those who have best
known Mr. Lawrence for years, unite in con
ceding to him all of the qualities of a gentle
man. That he is most thoroughly qualified
for the position that his party have nominated
him for, is well known by all who have made
his acquaintance. McKean Miner.
A Good One. James K. Kerr, the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress, in his speech
at New Washington said the Republicans
had a singular way of constructing their plat
form they made it out of planks, which they
could pull out, or stick in at pleasure. Our
tall military friend, Clark Patchin, said he
thought the speaker described his own posi
tion exactly that tho Democratic Convention
had pulled Put. Kerr out of the nomination,
and stuck James K. Kerr into it in his place.
The hit is a good one Patrick Kerr having
clearly received the nomination, but was af
terwards cheated out of it by the adoption of
an extraordinary rule. '
Samcel M.Lawrence This gentleman is
well and familiarly known in this vicinity is a
candidate for the Legislature in the McKean
district. In his course of canvassing the ad
joining Counties he . paid his old friends of
this Borough a flying visit. Mr. Lawrence is
a young man of "muscle, pith and spirit" by
no maus a little giant, but has the full stature
and endowments of a man. With odds against
him in his district, he enters the political arena
boldly and is confident of: success. Clear
sighted and with cool judgement he conducts
the canvass in an eminently efficient manner.
In his earnest advocacy of the principles of
the Republican party he presses his adversaries
to a disadvantage, and commends himself en
thusiastically to his friends. Warren Mail.
Contempt por Poor Men. It seems natu
ral enough lor a Democrat to hate a poor man.
Wigfall thinks him a criminal; Hammond
calls him a mudsill; Green denounces him as
one ol the lazzaroni ; Johnson thinks lie ought
to be a slave ; and Delusion Smith, of Oregon
Joseph Lane's late partner in the United
States Senate, in a late public speech iq Ore
gou City, said:
"He had rather be a decent man's nigger at
the South, than a poor white man at the
North."
If there is a decent man in the South wants
such a nigger as the author of this, he will
confer a favor upon Oregon by sending there
for him at once.
Democracy Trying to buy Pennsylvania.
The Buchanan Democracy are endeavoiing, in
regard to Pennsylvania, to repeat tho old
game of 1856. A meeting was held In New
York last Saturday, at which weie assembled
soino wealthy Democrats, and one hundred
thousand dollars were contributed to carry the
State election in Pennsylvania next motitlu
We are under the impression that Pennsylva
nia cannot be bought this.time for a Democra
cy of which she has bd such a bitter experi
ence as the last four years have given her.
Democratic money in this year. 1860, will get
neither Pennsylvania nor New York rthe peo
ple are going for principle, and that leads

At a Bell and Everett meeting, on Thursday

ANOTHER "IRISH WEDDING."
i A High Old Time Generally. ,-;-.
Yesterday was an eventful period in the his
tory of the Democracy of Clearfield. After
"billing and cooing" and making extensive
preparations for the past two or three weeks,
the two wings of tho party were to be united
last evening on everything but the Presidential
question, which was not to be touched until after
tho October election. Accordingly it.was an
nounced in the columns of the Republican,
the Breckinridge organ, and in large posters,
that Hon. II. D.. Foster, Hon. Richard Vaux,
Hon J. K. Kerr; lion. William Bigler, and
"other eminent speakers." would bo present
to address the meeting. When the time for
assembling had come, au imposing turn-out
of 17 wagons and 5 buggies, and several horse
men, was made, and the welkin was made to
ring with shouts and joyful acclamations.
So far "things was working" well, but when it
came to organizing the meeting, there was a
regular squabble about who should be chair
man. The Douglas men having named Judge
Leonard the Breckites objected, but finally it
was agreed that the Judgo should be the pre
siding officer. ;
After the organization had been completed,
Hon. Richard Vaux took the stand, and spoke
of the old United States Bank, the Buck-shot
war, exhibited Morgan's ghost to the gaze of
his hearers, and referred in very ambiguous
terms to the principles of the f'Great Nation
al Democratic party" and tho gallant Harry,
its true exponent. ; '.
Next came James K. Kerr. ; Hu appealed
to his friends to be sure to vote for Foster,thc
fearless champion of the Democracy, but, ad
ded he, don't forget to vote for me tor I am a
candidate for Congress, lie then resurrected
the United States Bank, that horrid monster,
that great monopoly, which every Democrat
should oppose, and go for Foster, but don't
forget to vote for me, for I am a candidate for
Congress. Tho Republican party had so many
names he said ho couldn't recollect half of
tbem, but that was no reason why they shouldn't
vote for Foster, but don't forget me, for I am
a candidate for Cougress. The Republicans
did the mischief in th'e Kansas struggle; and
were responsible for the agitation of the sla
very question, but the most important matter
now was to vote for Foster, and don't forget
me, for I am a candidate for Congress. Then
camo the stars and stripes and spread-eagles,
from which he descended into a "muddy po
litical creek" where he tried to catch "suck
ers aud alligators," and get them to vote for
Foster, and not to forget me, for I am a candi
date for Congress.
Mi. Senator Bigler next mounted the stand.
He said the reason why the gallant Harry, the
fine, high-toned gentleman, the firm aud un
flinching Democrat, was not present, was be
cause the State Committee thought he could
get "out of the woods" to better . advantage
elsewhere. The Republican party was array
ed against slavery, would destroy tho institu
tions ot the country, but be would-take the
whole Constitution and save the Uuion.
"Father Test" then made a small splurge a-
bout Black Republicanism ; that he felt De
mocracy in his bones, and that "Democracy
is opposed to the world, the flesh and the dev
il," after which he subsided into his usual
state of placidity and self-composure.
T.he closing speech was made by our friend
Wallace, who, it seems, is somewhat eased in
mind about the "Blake . Resolution," but is
badly scared in . regard to Bill Seward, the
higher law, the irrepressible conflict, aboli
tionism, A-b-e L-i-n-c-o-l-n and tho Wide A
wakes. The latter ore a source of special
trouble to him, and whilst speaking of tbem,
though trying to look easy and composed, he
reminded us of the fellow who always whistles
when he passes a grave-yard. :
The meeting then adjourned with "Ihree
cheers and a tiger" for the whole ticket.
Afterwards, the martial band proceeded to
Judge Leonard's residence to serenade Mr.
Vaux, who presented; himself and made a
straight-out Douglas speech, claiming that
Stephen is the regular nominee, and thanked
the crowd for the , compliment - conferred.
Whilst he was doing this, some Breckinridgers
called off tho band "and gave Senator Bigler a
serenade also. He appreciated the compli
ment. He had spoken at length at the meet
ing, and would not make another speech.
Nor did he wish to say much of the impropri
ety of a. circumstance which had occurred
within tho lust : hour, ; (evidently alluding to
Mr. .Vaux's speech,) but he would say that he
was for John C. Breckinridge and at the pro
per time would give his reasons for support
ing that gentleman, and in doing so he was
not afraid to meet any man, no matter who he
was, where he camo from, or what pretensions
he made, . . ',. .. . ' -. :. .
A rich scene afterwards occurred on the
corner at the Mansion House. Amidst the
confusion ' could occasionally be heard the
words, "you are a Republican in Democratic
disguise," "you a:e no Democrat" "Douglas
is the regular nominee," "Breckinridge is the
only sound Democrat i,u the fie Id," &c. Take
it all in all, this demonstration was a spicy af
fair,and has only embittered the factions more,
and widened the breech between them.
Douglas a Rejected Ksow-Notuing. The
Springfield. (Mass.) Republican states that Sen
ator Douglas at one time went to Baltimore
from Washington, to be "initiated into the
mysteries of the dark-Lantern Know Noth
in?ism, but whs refused admittance, being
deemed unworthy, This. fact. says the Repub
lican, is well understood in all wel informed
Know Nothing circles," , ,1
: A Breckinridge paper in this State returns
thanks for a cpy of- "Covode's Life and
Times of James Bnchanan" alias the report
of the famous investigating committe-. It
says that there are few public men so fqr;n
nate as to have their biographies compiled
from official records and sworn statements.
Reading Press. .
Th Troy Times says that John Morrissey
has just made a bet of $2,000 that Lincoln
will be elected. He is for Douglas, 4 but perr
ceives that Honest Abe is to be the next
Ppsident,-: -;;-;-77--t"'. 7
Col. Philip S. White, at a meeting in Phila
delphia on Friday, told the following anecdote
as a reply to - the notion that Southern men
would refuse to take oflice under a Kepulican
Administration: ?-
; "A friend of Mr. Lincoln said, I fear yon
will.be greatly troubled with the South.'
'Yes.' replied Mr. Lincoln, I fear I shall.
Of course,' said his friend,. on account of
their opposition to you.' Why.' replied Mr.
Lincoln, 'look at this pile f letters' before
me. I shall have trouble. They are all from
the South, and are applications for oflice, in
case I should be elected.' "
" The Baltimore Patriot is informed that Mr.
Buchanan is thoroughly satisfied as to thn is
sue of .the Presidential election, ne looks on
the question as settled, beyond the possi
bility of alteration. It only, awaits, he says,
the formal decision of the ballot-box, and that,
be thinks, will be in favor of Lincoln. This
was the general"- sentiment at Washington,
among men who do their own thinking and
form their own conclusions. The light from
Maine appeared to have dissipated a good deal
of the mist that had been hanging about the
eyes of the smaller politicians.
The Irrepressible Conflict. The homo
organ of Mr Douglas, the Chicago Times and
Herald, in a late issue, holds the following re
markable language: .
-Let tree labor have a chance, fair stand up
fight with slave labor, untrammelled by politi
cal envy and partisan passion ; and just as sure
as free labor is stronger and better than slave
labor, just that sure will slave labor perish out
from its pathway !'
This is the "irrepressible conflict," stated in
different words. The idea is the same.
The Republicans of Newport, Ky., erected
a liberty pole, and their opponets got up a mob
on Mouday night, and cut the harmless stick
down. There are, it is stated, three hundred
Republicans in the town this will no doubt
increase the number handsomely, if the me
chanics of Newport have the spirit of such
men elsewhere. Never mind the old stick,
but poll the votes, and politicians will find a
way to stop the mobs, as soon as they need to
conciliate the party holding tho balance of
power.
Friends that are worth having are not made
but "grow," like Topsey in the ncvel. An
old man gave this advice to his sons, on Ins
death bed : "Never try to make a friend."
Enemies come fast enough without cultiva
ting the crop; and friends who are brought
forward by hot-house expedients are apt to

HOSTETTEK'S STO.MACII BITTERS.
It is a fact that, at some period, every mem
ber of the human family is subject to dvase or
disturbance of the bodily functions; but. with tho
aid of a good tonic and tiie exercise of plain com
mon sense, they may be able so to regulate the sys
tem as to secure permanent health. In order to ac
complish this desired object, the true course to pur
sue is certainly that which will produce a natural
state of things at the least hazard of vital strength
and life. For this purpose. Dr. Hostetter has in
troduced to this country a preparation bearing hii
name, which is not a new medicine, .but one that
has been tried for years, giving a tit faction to all
who have usod it. The Bitters operate powerfully
upon the stomach, bowels, and liver, rcsioring tbem
to a healthy and vigorous action, and thus, by
the simple process of strengthening naturo, ena
ble the system to triumph over disease.
For the cure of Dyspep.-d.i, Indigestion. Naa?ea,
Flatulency. Loss of Appetite, or Bilious complaints,
arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach or
Bowels. produciugCramps,Dysentary,Ch3li?,Chol
era Morbus. JLc, these Bitters have no equal.
. Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con
tracted by new scttler3. nnd caused principally by
the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg
ulated by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspep
sia, a disease whieh is probably more prevalent,
in all its various forms, than any other, and ths
cause of which may always be attributed to de
rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured
without fail by using UOSTETTEIVS 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 Lave tkc it
Bitters, as a preventive of disease and strengthen
ed of the system in general; and among them alf
there is not to be found a more healthy people
than the Uermans.from whom this preparation em
anated, based upon scientific experiments which
have tended to prove the valuo of this great pre
paration in the scale of medical science.
Fevku and Agte This trying and provoking
disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the bo
dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in
short time, and rendering him physically and men
tally useless, ean be driven from the bodv by the
uao of UOSTETTER S RENOWNED BITTER'S.
Further, none of tho above-stated Uiscases can be
contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Bit
ters are used as directions. And as they nei
ther create nausea' ur oTend the palate, and ren
der unnecessary any change ef' diet or interrup
tion of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep
and healty digestion, and the complaint is rerao-.
ved as speedily as is consistent with the produc
tion of a thorough and permanent cure.
.Far Persons ut Advance 1 ears, who are gutter
ing from an ecfeebled consitution and infirm body,
these Bitters are invaluable as a restorative of
strength and vigor, and need only be tried to be
appreciated. And to a mother while nnrsingthee
Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo
ther's nourishment is inadequate to the demandi
of tho child, consequently her strength must yield,'
and here it is where a good tonic, such as Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters, is needed t impart tempo
rary strength and vigor to the system. Ladiei
should by all means try this remedy for all ca
ses of debility, and, before . o doing, should
their physician, who. if he is acfjnainted with
virtue of the Stomach Bitters, will recommend
their use in all cases of weakness .

any of the many imitations or counterfeits, bnta;k
for Hostetter' s Celelraled Stomach. Bitters, and se
that each bottle has the words :'Dr. J. Hostetter'
