. " . WHAT REMAINS TO BE DONE.
Next Tuesday the Presidential election will
come off. We trust that the Republicans will
not relax their cffoits until the struggle is over,
' Though ever ao much gratified, they should
not permit the glorious tiiumph at the Gover
nors election to produce any apathy or indif-
- ferencc amongst them. It was a long and ar
duous fight which ended with the victory of
. the 0th ; but the enemy is working secretly
. and earnestly, and we must bo careful and ac
tive lest they steal a march on us and over
come us when we least expect it. We have
' had abundant rest from the fatigues of that
struggle ; now let us be up and prepare for the
final flght and the crowning victory.
. We have thrice, in succession, defeated the
Democratic party in this States yet it rallies
at each successive election t0rf0i hope of re
trieving the ground it has lost. In 1858, on a
'moderately heavy vote, .we carried the State
by 25,000 majority ; in 1859, on a light vote,
by 18,000 ; and in 1860, on the heaviest voto
dver cast in the State, by 32,000. Three such
- defeats as this ought to satisfy the Democratic
party that tho glory has departed from it in
.Pennsylvania; but it is not satisfied, and we
'shall have to give "Old Abe" 40,000 majority
beforb it will finally admit itself whipped.
At the Governor's election we had but one
party to fight, the Breckinridge, Douglas, and
most of tho'Bell men having united on Mr.
Foster in the vain effort of defeating Col. Cur
tin. Tho prospect at that time was that these
factions would separate, after the election, and
run three electoral tickets ; but this prospect
has faded away. The straight Douglas ticket
has been withdrawn, and the wire-pullers aro
laboring bard to unite both the Douglas and
Breckinridge wings of the party on the Read
ing electoral ticket. Tho Bell-Everett party
has shown itself to bo miserably weak, and
their ticket will be voted for by only a few
persons here and there in this State. So there
will virtually be but one electoral ticket against
ua in Pennsylvania, on the 6th of November.
We will have, therefore, to meet tho same
combination that we met at the late election.
It is not, of course, as sanguine, as flush of
funds or as noisy in its anticipations of vic
tory as it was then ; but it will, without doubt,
rally its full force to the next encounter. The
question then is, are wo prepared to meet
them ? Is every Republican ready and deter
mined to be at the polls 1 If not, there is no
time to be lost. But a few days remain for
work. Use them well use them diligently,
and use them with that fervor which our late
triumph is so well calculated to inspire.
The . Timber Business. Some unusually
wise Democrats in this region have discovered
an entirely now objection to honest old Abe.'
If ho is elected, say they, all confidence will
be destroyed in tho stability of the Union, the
banks will all burst, and the price of timber will
go down ! This is, to say the least .of it, child
ish. No man in his sound senses will give it
a serious thought it is too foolish and absurd.
If Lincoln's election has any effect at all on
the price of timber, it will be to raise it, as
there will be a very great demand for lumber
to build boats to convey our Democratic friends
up Salt River. The prospect that sundry As
sociate Judgeships, and other county offices,
will have to change bands shortly, we think is
a matter of more solicitude to some of these
sensation howlers, than the price of timber.
In order, however, to show how unfounded and
senseless this talk about a dissolution of the
Doiou and panic amongst banks is, wo need
only state that the new Government loan of
$10,000,000 was promptly taken, on Mpnday
a-weekj at and above par, by some of the most
judicious capitalists in the Union. Every ef
fort was made by the Washington Constitution
and other Administration organs to injure tho
credit of the country, by threats of dissolution
and appeals to the political prejudices of the
people. It does not look much like a dissolu
tion of the Union, when scores of capitalists
come forward and exhibit their anxiety to ob
tain the loans of our Government, even at par;
nor does it appear reasonable that Lincoln's e
lection will injure the price of timber, when
some of the self-same Democrats who say so,of
fer their timber at only 10 cents if Old Abe" suc
ceeds, or will take the same price if Breckin
jidge is elected ! If they are scarod so bad,
why should these fearful gentlemen be so anx
ious to go into the business this winter at all i
Can any one of them explain I

FACTS ABOUT THE TARIFF.
The Bill known as the "Tariff of '42,'.' pass
ed the Whig House of Representatives by the
following vote : Yeas 105, of whom 85 were
Whigs and but 20 Democrats; Nays 103, of
whom 65 were Democrats, 35 Southern Whigs
and 3Tylerrnen. Seventeen Democrats dodged
the question. The same bill passed the Whig
Senate on the 27th Aug., 1842, by the follow
ing vote : Yeas 24, of whom 20 were Whigs
and 4 Democrats ; Nays 23, of whom 14
were Democrats, 8 Southern Whigs and 1
Tyler man. Thus it appears that four times as
many Whigs as Democrats voted for the Tariff
of 1842 in the House, and five times as many
Whigs as Democrats in the Senate.
The Tariff of 184G, which repealed the Tariff
of '42, passed the Democrotic House on Friday,
July 3d, of that year, by the following vote :
For the Tariff of 1846, 113 Democrats and 1
Whig, from Alabama ; Against it, 71 Whigs,
18 Democrats and 6 Native Americans. This
Bill was afterwards sent to the Senate and
would have been defeated, as the vote was a
tie, when George M. Dallas, the Democratic
Vice President elected in 1844 by the vote of
Pennsylvania, under the cry of "Polk, Dallas
and the Tariff of '42," gave the casting vote
in favor of the Tariff of 1846, thus ensuring
its passage. President Polk immediately
signed it, and the Tariff of '42 was thus re
pealed by the very men who stood pledged to
sustain it.
Tho Tariff of 1857, which is now in opera
tion, passed the House by tho following vote
Yeas 123, of whom 67 were Democrats, 39 Re
publicans and 17 Southern Americans ; Nays
72, of whom 71 were Republicans, and only 1
Democrat Asa Packer, who represents an
iron district in this State. No less than sev
enteen Democrats dodged this vote.
Last winter a bill was reported by Mr. Mor
rill, a Republican, embodying the Protective
Policy, and intended to Repeal tho Democratic
Free-Trade Tariff of 1S57, and passed the
Ilonse by the following voto : Yeas 105, of
whom 91 were Republicans, 2 Democrats, 6
Americans and 6 Anti-Lecompton Democrats ;
Nays 64, of whom 59 were Democrats, 3 Re
publicans, 1 American and 1 AntirLccompton
Democrat. , The Bill was defeated in the Dem
ocratic Free-Trade Senate by amotion to post
pone, the vote standing : Yeas 25 Democrats;
no Republicans ; Nays 21 Republicans and 2
Democrats. The postponement was thus car
ried by 2 majority, the bill fell, and this is why
we have not now a Protective Tariff. .
Tariff men of Pennsylvania ! ; above you
have a true record, obtained from official sour
ces, of the votes of the two great parties of
the country on tho question of Protection,
during a series of nearly twenty years. Choose
ye between them. j

'. The Democrats have appointed a Mass Meet
ing for next Saturday in our town, and they
aro busy drumming np wagons and men to
make a big display. We suppose that, on that
occasion, the important question, whether
Breckinridge or Douglas is the "regular Dem
ocratic candidate," will bo decided ; but most
likely a great portion of tho speeches will be
devoted to proving Lincoln and Hamlin very
bad men ; that their election willcause a dis
solution of the Union ; and that, if they are
not defeated, the "old narry" will be to pay
generally. That sort of clap-trap has,' howev
er, ceased td scare anybody, and will only bo
laughed at by sensiblo people ; nor will it In
the least endanger the prospects of. "honest
old Abe," who will carry Pennsylvania by a
sweeping majority, if we all do our duty.
N. B. It is expocted that the meeting will
be addressed by "Patrick M'Cullough and
William O'Wallace."
A Fact worth Knowing. In the year 1859
our very, efficient Democratic administration
disposed of 13,550,292 acres of the public
lands, receiving for the same $1,628,189, or a
bout 12 cents per acre. Of this sura $1,310,
758 went to pay tho expenses of the Land offi
ces, or in other wordsj into the pockets of de
mocratic officials, leaving $317,429, or. about
two tents per acre, to give Into the Treasury !
And yet tho Democratic party refuses to give
the poor settlers 100 acres of those lands,
which after deducting expenses and stealings,
realize to the Treasury the poor pittance of
three dollars and twenty cents ! ' ' .
Oregon U. S. Senators. Col. E. D. Baker,
(Rep.) and J. Nesmith (Douglas) were elected
U. S. Senators by the Oregon Legislature on
the 2d inst. Joe Lane is thus repudiated by
his own State, as bo will be in a short time by
the people of the nation. Wo rejoice at the
election of Col. Baker. Ho is a Republican
in whom there is no "varying or shadow of
turning,' and will be an acquisition to the
Senate in favor of freedom. .
UNEASY ABOUT THE TARIFF.
Thelocofocos are growing very uneasy a -
bout the Tariff. They are afraid the Republi
cans are not to be trusted upon that question.
Mr. Wm. B. Reed, an old-line Whig who
joined the Free Trade Democracy in 1856, un
der tho promise of a Cabinet appointment or
Foreign Mission, made a speech to the Breck.-
inridgers in Philadelphia the other night, in
which he betrayed the utmost distress at the
unsoundness of Lincoln and Hamlin on the
Tariff; and the Pennsylvanian, following in
his wake, breaks out in this wise :
"The Republican party claim tho support of
Protective Tariff men on the ground that their
candidates are in favor of the principle of pro
tection. They have indeed adopted as one of
their mottoes, 'Protection to American Indus
try.' Now,' if Mr. Lincoln is a Protective
Tariff man, where is the evidence of it ? Let
it be produced. As for Mr. Hamlin, he is u
niversally known as a free trader. This is a
trick of the enemy to deceive tho unwary and
ignorant."
"If Mr. Lincoln is a Protective TariS man,
where Is the evidence of it ?" This is a pret
ty question to ask. Mr. Lincoln has been all
his life a Tariff man. His record as a Whig is
clear upon this point. In the campaign of
'44 he stumped the State of Illinois, arguing
the Tariff question in every speech, and his
arguments in faverof Protection, at that time,
have never yet been answered, by any one in
Illinois or out of it.
. Besides this, the Convention which nomina
ted Mr. Lincoln adopted following resolution :
12th That whileproviding revenue forthe sup
port of the general government by duties upon im
ports, a sound policy requires such an adjustment
of these imposts as to encourage the development
of the industrial interests of tho whole country,
and we commend that policy of national exchan
ges which secures to the working men liboral wa
ges, agriculture rcnumerating prices, to mechanics
and manufacturers an adequate reward for their
skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation com
mercial prosperity and independence. .
Mr. Lincoln, in accepting tho nomination,
explicitly endorsed this resolution, among the
rest, and stands, therefore,before the country,
pledged to the policy it advocates.
The Pennsyhanian, and Wm. B. Reed, and
the other free trade- patriots of the country,
need be under no apprehensions on the score
of Mr. Lincoln's views on the Tariff. Mr.
Reed, particularly, may rest assured that Mr.
Lincoln will not prove false to all his past
views on that subject, as he has done.
Mr. Hamlin, whilst a democrat, acted with
his party on the Tariff question. - Since he
became a Republican, however, he has uni
formly voted in the Senate with the friends of
Protection ; and in the votes on the Tariff
measure, whenever up' in the Senate during
the last session, his votes will uniformly bo
found on tho right side. He, also, in accept
ing the Chicago Nomination, accepted tho
Tariff resolution, heartily ; and in his speech
at Washington, acceptiug his nomination, he
said : -
"The objects desired by the Republicans in
the pending election, and the obligations im
posed upon our candidates, are, to bring back
the Government to the principles and practi
ces of its fathers and founders, aud to admin
ister it in the light of their wisdom and exam
ple; to aid our commerce, to send it out upon
distant seas, and to prepare for it havens in
its distress and on its return ; to infuse new
life and energy into all the productive and i-N
dustnal pursuits of the country, for we must
not forget that the prosperity of every country
must repose upon productive industry labor it
is, and labor alone that builds and navigates our
snipst delves our mines, makes music in the work
shops, cleurs away the forest, and makes the hill,
side blossom as the rose. It maintains our Gov
ernment and upholds the world in its prosper
ity and advancement. Surely, then, it should
challenge and demand its rights of the Govern
ment it thus sustains. To preserve the integ
rity of the Union, with the full and just rights
of all the States, the States themselves not in
terfering with the principles of Liberty and
Humanity in the Territories of the United
States, outside of their own jurisdiction, and
to preserve our original territorial domain for
tho homesteads of the free these are the
great principles which we have united in ad
vance. That done, our. Government will re
main a blessing to all, and our country a re
fuge in which the man of every creed and
every clime may enjoy the securities and priv
ileges of institutions of Freedom, regulated
only by law."
Who are the Amalgamationists ? The De
mocrats call the Republicans amalgamation
ists, but how's this ? In the good old Dem
ocratic State of Virginia, there are 60,000 mu
lattoes and scarcely a single Black Republi
can ! And it is stated, moreover,that the great
bodyof the mixed and mulatto breed in all
the country has its origin in tho Democratic
Slave States, and that scarcely a mulatto can
be found whose yellow skin cannot be traced
to one of these. Now if the Republicans are
the Amalgamationists, how's this? Can our
Democratic orators cypher it out ?
Lincoln Banners. At a meeting of the
People's State Central Committee of Pennsyl
vania, held at Philadelphia, on Tuesday of
last week, it was resolved to prepare two
handsome Banners ono to be presented to
the County giving the largest relative increas
ed vote for Lincoln at tho November election,
over Gov. Curtin's vote at the recent October
election the other to be presented to the
County giving the largest relative increased
majority for Lincoln oyer Curtin's msjority. :
, What has become of the Clearfield RepublU
can's double-beaded ticket ? It did not ap
pear in that paper last week, but in its stead a
sentiment of John C. Breckinridge, with the
name of that gentleman set in large type.
Has tho Republican entirely ignored Douglas 1
That would be more consistent at least, than
having his name up and at the same time abu
sing him and his supporters ! .

and Indiana, but what comes through Repub

tributing Bell-Everett tickets! Can't any

THE DOUGLAS TICKET WITHDRAWN.
After all the wire-working which has taken
place between the two wings of tho Democrat
cy, the Douglas State Committee met in Phil
adelphia, on Tuesday of last week, and for
mally withdrew their straight-out ticket, and
adopted the one lormed at Reading, in March
last. This course of proceeding, if we are to
judge by the tone af the Douglas papers, is by
no means satisfactory to the masses of the
party;' however it may suit the views of the
leaders, who have been prominent in the ar
rangement by which the aforesaid masses
have been transfered. It is well known that
there are those on the Reading ticket who
have made themselves extremely obnoxious
to the friends of Douglas, by their unceasing
personal denunciations; ungenerous attacks,
and by the petty proscription in which they
have indulged ever since his nomination. . To
vote for these individuals is to commit them
selves to the teuder mercies of an unscrupu
lous class of politicians, in all time to come.
This movement, however, is one which does
not concern us, but we cannot conceive how
honorable men can become parties to an ar
rangement requiring them to abandon their
organization, aud support, not only their ene
mies, but what they believe to be a radical er
ror. Those who consent to the plan upon
which the leaders have agreed, give their
votes for the straight Breckinridge ticket
nothing more, nothing less. No man should
sacrifice his convictions of right because his
adherence might possibly produce undesirable
results. There are some. Douglas men who
declure that they cannot support the Reading
ticket. The Philadelphia Press says that it is
now in receipt of letters from all parts ot the
State, protesting against the withdrawal of
what was known as the "Straight ticket." It
says many of these letters aie signed by dem
ocrats who have figured in the fore front of
the party for years. It publishes asa speci
men, the following letter from Erie :
Erie, Oct. 20 1860. I see by a telegram in
to day's-Buffalo Express that "the Douglas
State Central Committee have withdrawn the
the straight ticket, and pledged themselves to
the Reading electoral ticket." Is this so?
Must the Democracy be pushed to a choice be
tween the two interventions . I had hoped
fervently that the poor priviledge of at least
voting upon principle, though with but a for
lorn hope of success, would bo left to the ad
herents to Democratic principles. If the
choice, however, is unavoidable, the old "pro
viso" doctrine, with either a white or black
garb, I, for one, shall prefer the white and
stand by free institutions. If I must be sec
tional, I will not turn my back upon my own
section. -
DOUGLAS AND LECOMPTON.
That Senator Douglas, who has made what
little capital he now possesses out of his op
position to Lecompton, should have been the
chief originator of that iniquity, is a state
ment we would gladly discredit if we could
reasonably do so. The evidence of his com
plicity in that shameful affair is however too
overwhelming to justify further incredulity
on tho part ot the public. The ""Democratic
Association" of Leavenworth, Kansas, have
just issued a-paper making disclosures that
will be hard upon the political stomachs of
those who support Douglas with the idea that
he is sincere and manly in his opposition to
the'Lecompton pro-slavery constitution, which
the slavery ites attempted to fasten upon that
Territory. A committee of this. Democratic
Association state that, after investigating the
matter fully, by corresponding with members
of the Lecompton Convention, of which John
Calhoun was the President and leading spirit,
and otherwise prosecuting their inquiries,with
one single object of getting at tho truth of the
matter, they, are satisfied that Stephen A.
Douglas, with whom Calhoun had for yars
been a warm co-worker in politics, was actual
ly the originator of the infamous Lecompton
Constitution that it was framed by his advice,
that he promised to support the measure in Con
gress but, that owing to the overwhelming
indignation that was manifested against it
throughout the country, he was deterred from
fulfilling his promise, and left Calhoun and his
coadjutors and the Administration of James
Buchanan to 6houlder the responsibility of the
great infamy. These are evidently all facts.
Members .of the Lecompton Convention and
other reliable persons testify to them over
their own signatures and the men who have
made the investigation and who have disclos
ed the matter, are themselves Democrats. In
addition to this, we have the declaration of
Iienry L.Martin, the confidential secretary of
the present Secretary of the Interior, that the
programme of the proceedings as prosecuted
by tho notorious John Calhoun in Kansas, was
drawn up by Mr. Douglas himself.in Washing
ton City, and communicated to Calhoun ; that
the original draft in Douglas' penmanship is
exant, and that copies of it will meet the pub
lic'eye; that Calhoun was the personal and
political friend of Mr. Douglas up to the time
of Mr. D.'s betrayal of his own programme ;
that Calhoun supported him for President,
and loooked upon him with great satisfaction.
With such a charge established against him,
Mr. Douglas should withdraw at once as a can
didate lor the Presidency. ,
A Candid Opponent. Mr. James T. Brady,
the Democratic nominee for Governor of the
State of New York, is possessed of more can
dor and fairness than most of his party friends
or allies. In a recent speech, at Binghamp
ton, he is reported as making the following
remarks concerning Mr. Lincoln :
"Ho spoke of Mr. Lincoln as one who did
not owe his nomination to the fact that he
had split rails in early life, or hairs on enter
ing the legal profession, as some satirists of
that fraternity alleged. He was a gentleman
of intellect, a lawyer of ability, and a gentle
man against the purity of whose character no
individual or journal had made a suggestien."
Read! It is now certain that the govern
ment will not be able to recover a nickle from
the sureties of Isaac V. Fowler, the late de
faulting Postmaster of New York. Tho bonds
were informal, aud when aacepted by the offi
cers at Washington,were not complete. Thus
by the negligence of one Ttranch and the dis
honesty of another, the government fs made
to lose over one hundred thousand dollars that
is known, and as much more in the same office
that is not known. Honest reader, pause and
reflect over this.
Remember the Issue. The Republicans ad
vocate restricting slavery to its present limits,
and their opponents wish to spread it over all
tho freo "Territories of the country. Which
will you vote for ? The interest of tho slave
holder, or that of tho Jree white working man f
the interest of the few, or the rights of the
many ? Choose, ye', between them in depos
iting your voto on the 6th of November next,
ye freo men of this country. V

A SOUTHERN DISUNI0NIST.
The Knoxville (Tenn.) Whig gives the fol
lowing incident in the life of a nian who has re
cently assumed considerable political promi
nence : :
, "The fact that W. L. Yancey killed his un
cle, Dr. Eigle, of South Carolina, has been
stated in general terms, but the details have
not been iveu. Dr. Eagle lived one mile
and a half west of Greenville, where his widow
still resides, if alive. -A few hundred yards dis
tant is an old corn field, sometimes used for
practising on horseback, but more frequently
resorted to as a muster ground. This was the
occasion of & Drill-Muster when Dr. Eagle's
son, about ten years old, went to the ground,
as all boys seek to do, and during their
wheeling and turning, the boy got in their
way. Yancey ordered him to get out of the
way, but the boy, in his confusion, got more
and more in the way, whereupon Yancey lash
ed him most unmercifully with a horsewhip
Dr. Eagle was not at home, but on returning
through town, a friend told him how cruelly
Yancey had treated his son ; Yancey told him
that the boy bad been very insolent, and that
he had slapped his jaws. Dr. Eagle replied
that he had served him right. But wheu the
Dr. reached his home and learned the facts,
and found that Yancey had lied to bim.he re
turned to Greenville in search of him. Yan
cey knowing the pluck ot Eagle, and that ho
would be detected in the falsehood, prepared
himself for a fight. The Dr. found Yancey on
Dr. Crittenden's porch, and in marching upon
him was shot down by Yancey with a pistol.
These are the facts as we have them from one
born and reared in that vicinity. The. fact
that Yancey was convicted upon trial and af
terwards became the subject of Executive
clemency, corroberates the truth of this ver
sion. This i.s the man who procured the dis
ruption of the Democratic Party, and the
nomination of Mr. Breckinridge !" .
Cassils M. Clay's Personal Experience.
Q. M. Clay said In a speech made a few days
since in Illinois: "I was born in old Ken
tucky ; I was one of the pioneers of Kentuck
y the son of one of the men who formed the
first Constitution of Kentucky the son of the
man, Green Clay, who as a representative of
the district of Kentucky, In the Virginia Con
vention, signed the Constitution of the United
States in 1789. Born under the shield and
patronage of both these constitutions, I offer
ed to discuss this question of slavery right
where it existed. What then did they say ?
Look at the hypocrisy of this slave Democra
cy ! They said : "Why, Clay, if you think
slavery fs such an infernal thing, why don't
you liberate your slaves? -Prove your faith
by your works. 1 thought there was a great
deal of force in that argument, and although I
was not very conscientious about that matter,
yet, seeing that I was drifting in that direction,
and willing to go with the tide .In favor of
freedom which was so strong, I did liberate
my slaves every one I held on earth. Ap
plause, and cries of "good," "amen." No
man now calls me master nor woman either,
unless she does it through affection. Great
enthusiasm for Clay. Then when 1 went
out to advocate the same principle, what did
they say? They turned on -me : "Why,
Clay, what have you to do with this question
of slavery ? It is none of your business ; you
don't own any slaves." Loud laughter and
cheers. t -
The Breckinridge papers of the South man
ifest the most intense hostility to Mr. Douglas,
who is now making his way from Memphis to
Mobile, by way of Nashville, and speaking at
intervals. They talk of applying a little of
that "medicinal gum" called tar to the person
of the Little Giant. It will not do for him to
talk much about hanging people down in the
cotton States. If he suggests that, they may
try the virtue of hemp on him.
It is positively stated that secret agents are
traveling in the South, stirring up the disunion
feelings, and spending British gold freely.

H OS TETTER'S STOM
ACII BITTERS. The proprietors and
Manufacturers of Jloxtetttr" Celebrated Stumark
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy
sicians and citizens generally of the United States,
because the article has attained a reputation here
tofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will
gpeak more powerfully than volumes of baro asser
tion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of
Uostetter's Stomach Bitters for the last year a
mounted to over a half-million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it iser
ident that during the coming year the consump
tion will reach near one million bottles. This im
mense amount could never have been sold but f jr
the rare medicinal properties contained in the re
paration, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in thoso sections of the country where
the article is best known, who not only recommend
the Bitters to their patients, but are ready at all
times to give testimonials to its efficacy iu all c
sesof stomnchic derangements and the disease? re
sulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, but a
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which
is destined to be as enduring as time itself
Hostetter'a Stomach Bitters have proved a God
send to regions where fever and ague and various
other bilious complaints have counted their vic
tims by hundreds. To be able to state confident
ly that the 'Bitters' are a certain cure for the i)y
pepsia and like diseases, ia to tho proprietors a
source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all mor
bid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous its
tem, giving-it that tone and energy indispensable
forthe restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores Uiein
to a condition essential to the healthy dischargo
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per
directions in the bottle, and they will find it a
stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating
to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvena
ting generally. We have evidence of thousands
of aged men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation while suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility; acting under the advice of physicians,
they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler sex. .There are oertain pe-
riods when theirearcsare so harrassing that many
of them sink under the trial. The relation of mo
ther and child is so absorbingly tender, that the.
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to for
get her own health in the extreme anxiety for her
infant. Should the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, the wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a
necessity for a stimulant to recuperate the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up under her exhausting trials and responsibili
ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
ters to all other invigorators that receive the en
dorsement of physicians, because it is agreeable
to the tasto as well as certain to give a permanent
increase of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have particular
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or dc-
rangements of the stomach, superanuated inval
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing
mothers, will consult their own physical we'firo
by giving to Hostettcr's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters a trial.
Caution. We caution the public againft usins
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for llostetter's CeJuirated Stomach Bitters and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hostetter i
Stomach Bitters' blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe that our autograph signature is on the
label, ty Prepared and sold by Hosteller 5 -Smith,
Pittsburg, Pa and sold by all druggists, grot.
and dealers generally throughout the United
States, Cauada, South America, and Germ any.
