lt tne state ot Indiana was
now like we have been very frequently,
during our printing pilgrimags here
below, in a dilapidated condition, hab-
iliniently speaking, and no prospect,
seemingly, to get on the inside of a
new suit, we'd say to her, hold on to
the old tatters and rags, yclepod the
State House, "until the way was
opened," as Friends say; but necessity
does not compel her to this course.

A WrM Impression Corrected.
Richmond, Ind., December 9.
To thedltorof tbe Journal:
Many newspapers of the State have
spread a report that the "Indiana
State Temperance Alliance" had em
ployed Luther Benson as a locturer,
and that he had squandered money
which it had placed in his hands.
I shall feel obliged if the Journal
will please contradict this statement.
The State Temperance Alliance never
employed Luther Benson, nor did it
ever supply him with any funds.
William Baxter,
President State Tempance Alliance.
The difference is thus puccinctly
stated by the Journal:
"In civilized communities, if the peo
ple wish to oust a man from office or
test his right to hold it, they proceed
by a writ of quo warranto. InVicks
burg they organize a mob, kill a hun
dred innocent negroes, and appoint a
committee of armed men to receive,
the obnoxious official's resignation."
The dependence of one class upon
the other,is thus sensibly put by the
Shelby Republican: .
"All we have must be dug from the
bowels ot mother earth by the sons of
toil. When the farmers have plenty
and are prosperous then all classes
prosper. An all wise Providence has
so arranged affairs that each class is
dependent upon the other; and while
ALL classes arc dependent upon the
farmer, he in turn is dependent upon
the carpenter, the smith, the merchant,
the doctor the printer, etc. In society
each class or occupation has its proper
place or sphere, and as a building is
incomplete without all its. parts so is
ociety without all its classes or avo
cations, and we ought to learn not to
"esteem each other lightly," but re
member that "we be brethren."
The Sun, in an article on the in
crease of business and the prosperity
of Vincennes, closes as follows:
Prosperity in business is not all that
our people have to boast of. Since
the drainage system has been adopted
around our city there is a notable in
crease of health in the community.
This is decidedly encouraging to all
classes except the doctors and drug
gists, and from present appearances
some of them will be compelled to
emigrate or go to hard work.
Richmond is one of the healthiest
towns in the State; yet a thorough
system ot drainage now, if our finan
cial condition would permit, would,
together with our we 11 -improved
streets, paved sidewalks, and stone
crossings, place our little city, for
health and beauty, far ahead of all
other towns of its size in the State of
Indiana.
Siocx City, Iowa, Dec. 10. Lit
tlo Buckshot, one of the scouts who
accompanied Caster s expedition to
the Black Hills, has just returned
from that place, where he went in
quest of stolen stock. He says he
saw between thirty and forty white
men in camn in the lower portion of
the hills. They had a good supply of
cattle, wagons, etc., and had built a
stockade about the entire camping
grounds, which will afford am Die nro
tection against any sudden attack by
Indians or others. The scout's de
scription of the members of the party
is so minute as to identity them as the
party who left here in October last os
tensibly tor a hunting excursion on
the railroad. He saw them prospect
ing on the streams and ravines, and
thinks the Indians will not dare in
terfere with them in their present for
titled position, and has no doubt they
will find gold.

W Christina Temperance
I'nioa of Wayne Count j-, Ind.
At the Wayne county temperance
convention held at Hagerstown, Nov.
24, the following constitution and by
laws were adopted :
We, the temperance women of
Wayne county, Indiana, conscious of
the increasing evils, and appalled at
the tendencies and dangers of intem
perance, believe it has become our
duty, in the providence of God, to
unite our efforts for its extinction.
In order to aid, encourage and for
tify each other in the accomplishment
of this work, we do, on this 24th day
of November, A. D., 1874, band our
selves together for the following spe
cific purposes, and to be governed by
the following constitution and by laws:
We most earnestly ask all good men
and women to join with us in our
work, and with each other in the en
deavor to secure temperance laws
thoroughly enforced.
PURPOSES OF THE ASSOCIATION.
Gospel missionary work to the in
ebriate, the liquor seller, and the poor
and neglected masses hitherto un
reached. The creation of a universal moral
sentiment in favor of temperance and
sobriety, and against the manufacture,
sale and use of intoxicating liquors as
a beverage.
The impression upon the youth of
our day of the criminal guilt of thus
selling, and the fatal danger as well as
guilt of thus drinking such liquors.
The inculcation of positive senti
ments and principles against both, as
a preparation of the temptations and
responsibilities of their future man
hood and womanhood.
The active expression of sympathy
and encouragement to the family of
the inebriate with the endeavor to
throw around his children elevating
and Christian influence. '
The gathering of well authenticated
facts, incidents and statistics, result
ing from the traffic in intoxicating
liquors, and such use of these facts as
will best promote the objects of this
association.
Resistance to the encroachments of
the liquor traffic, in every way that
law abiding. Christian citizens may
use appropriately and justly.
Hearty co-operation with ether tem
perance organizations in uniform
measures judged wisest for the sup
pression of intemperance.
We shall continue in this work while
tippling houses exist among us, while
the lives of woman and children are
blighted, and the bodies and soula of
men are destroyed by intemperance,
and until the use of intoxicating liq
uors disqualifies a man for Vblding
any office in the gift of the people,
whether it be municipal, county state
or national.
For the accomplishment of these
objects we shall religiously employ all
the means which God has placed
within our reach, and constantly in-,
voke His aid and guidance.

Davenport.Iowa, Dec. 7. A large
temperance meeting assembled in
Burtis' Opera House last night, every
seat being filled. Among the speak
ers were Mrs. J. E. Foster, of Clin
ton, Iowa; the Hon. Hiram Price, of
Davenport, and Mrs. E. K. Churchill,
of Providence, R. I. Each made a
good address in his own way.
A woman s mass meeting was held
this afternoon at the Christian Chapel,
and was addressed by Mrs. Foster,
Mrs. Fawcet, and others. A county
organization was formed, under the
name of the Scott County Ladies'
Temperance Union. The object of
the organization is to act as an auxil
iary State organiz ition to enforce pro
hibitory laws and to advance the cause
of temperance in every possible man
ner.
The Poland Gag Law.
An exciting debate sprang up in the
House on the 14th upon the amend
ment or entire repeal of the Poland
District of Columbia press-gag law.
Lymau Tremaine introduced an
amendatory bill, which provides that
no editor shall be indicted for libel in
the District of Columbia except upon
the complaint of a citizen thereof, and
gives the indicted party the right of
trial either here or at his home where
the alleged offense i actually commit
ted. This is the law in the State of
New York of twenty years' standing.
Under it no editor or publisher can
be dragged thousands of miles away
from home to stand trial in libel
cases, as they can under Poland's law.
Mr. Phelps bill simnlv repeals the
libel section of the existing law. Both j
bills were carried to the Judiciary
Committee, with leave to report any
time.
Some Hogs.
John Rebeyer, pork packer at New
Harmony, Ind., writes to the Cincin
nati Gazette as follows:
"3Ir. James Cale, of this county,
sold and delivered at my pork-house
this week, sixty head of the improved
breed of Poland China hogs, which
weighed net30,0G5 pounds, averaging
501 1-12 pounds. The hogs were
eighteen months old, and were all
raised by Mr. Cale on his farm, about
ten miles east ot New Harmony.
Mr. Henry Funston. of the same
neighborhood, also sold and delivered
to me thirty hogs, one-half blood of
same breed, fifteen months old, weigh
ing 10,120 pounds, averaging 337!
pounds.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter
gives this practical hint:
"There are many wealthy firms en
gaged in the manufacture of boots
and shoes, who, we feel satisfied,
would not run as great risk in spend
ing a little money in cultivating a for
eign demand as they lose in a season
in pushing their goods upon unwilling
customers. The money expended in
ono trip of a drummer would, if used
to investigate the needs of foreign
markets, extend the demand for our
productions into new and profitable
channels."
The Frankfort Banner says: "The
appointment of Senator Pratt to the
Supreme Bench of the United States
would be eminently proper and a fit
ting tribute to his legal ability and
integrity. No one who is acquainted
with the Senator will doubt his ability
or integrity. His education, and hab
its of close application to business for
many years have fitted him to fill this
posii'n with honor to himself, and
no disparagement to the illustrious
names who have heretolore honored
the position."
Mis. Jennie Caverhill, a woman of
Rutherford, Tennessee, who assisted
her paramour (a brother-in-law) in
murdering her husband, is thus de
scribed: "Mrs Caverhill is a very
handsome woman. She is of delicate
physique, but well formed, about
twenty-six years of age, dark brown
eyes and hair, and about hve feet
seven inches in height. In her girl
hood she was quite a belle, as t.he
possessed a number of attractive ac
complishments, the shining one being
'I am busy ploughing and cannot
entertain company now" is the sub
stance of a note recently written by a
Macoupin county, 111., girl to a St.
Louis exquisite, who had met her at a
fashionable party in the latter city and
wished to visit her at her home. The
glorious maiden is a graduate ot an
Illinois seminarv. and her 'ather eave

that she should help work it herself,
which she does. '
The past season having been an ex

the member of the family now on the
Supreme Bench "force his luck" and
try his chances for the United States
Senatorship? If anything should en

decision whereby their daughters are
measurably preserved from the ne

Gov. Dix, of New York, objects
to tbe stall fed style of imprison
ment to which Boss Tweed has
been subjected, and, in a letter to
the Mayor, uses the following caus
tic language:
"While this malefactor, who,
with his confederates in crime, has
plundered the city of New York of
815,000,000 or $16,000,000, is thus
shielded from tho chastisement of
the law, hundreds of his fellow
prisoners, undergoing sentences
for stealing property of trifling
value, are confined to cells, dressed
in prison garb, only permitted to
seo a relative or friend once a
month, and subject to tho strict
rules weich are deemed proper for
the punishment and security of
criminals. This distinction be
tween a man who has become rich
by public plunder and a poor man
who has appropriated to his own
use a considerable sum or properly
of little value, possibly under the
pressure of physical want, is dis
graceful to the State, a criminal
violation of duty on the part of
those who have granted the in
dulgences referred to, in utter con
tempt of the law and the determi
nations of juries aud courts, and
can not fail to bring lasting dis
credit on all by whose official inter,
position the abuse may be correc
ted." The burning indignation of Gov.
Dix is an honor to his head and
heart. But it is no new discovery
that he has made. Money, in all
ages, has made rascality respectable.

The Civil Rights Bill.
The practical objection to the
bill which has been most generally
urged is that the prejudice against
the colored citizens is so strong in
many States that, should the bill
pass, such States would abandon
their public school system. In
other words, if the rights and im
munities of citizens wliich are ex
pressly guaranteed by the funde
mental law are maintained, the
result will be general ignorance
and consequently vice. But if the
rights guaranteed by the funda
mental law are deliberately violated,
what then? The amended consti
tution declares that there shall be
no legal discrimination on account
of color. The objection meerly
says that there must and shall be.
The Supreme Court of Indiana,
indeed, has just decided that
equality of rights does not necessi
tate "mixed schools" more than the
teaching of both sexes in the same
schools, or keeping different grades
of scholars in the school. The re
ply to this is that any distinction
or classification for any legitimate
school purposes may be made
which is not based upon color.
Practically, whenever distinctions
are made upon grounds of preju
dice, equality in the sense contem
plated becomes impossible. What
in such a caBe does prejudice mean
but unwillingness to treat the ne
groes as legal equals? If prejudice
against the Irish, or the Germans,
or the Hebrews, or the Roman
Catholics, or the Baptists, or the
Freemasons, or the Martha Wash
ingtonians. were strong enough in
any State to cause them and their
children to be confined to separate
inns, conveyances, and schools, no
man who knows human nature or
the meaning of words would con
tend that the guarantee of equality
was satisfied. When exclusion
from the street cais on account of
color was abolished, was social
equality enforced by law? The
amended constitution secures civil
as well as political equality to every
citizen of the United States. Let
us have that security enforced ; and
if any State fails to enforce it, let
us not leave the aggrieved person
without remedy, in face of the ex
plicit declaration thit Congress
shall have power to enforce it.
Harper's Weekly.
The Evansville Cornier says:
"The Legislature should propose
an amendment to the State Con
stitution striking out the word
'while.' The old cry of a 'white
man's government' has no meaning
in the face of the events of the past
ten years. This is the people's
government, and there are about
four millions, out of the forty
millions that make this 'the great
est country in the world,' who are
colored. They are citizens, voters,
and many of them taxpayers, and
must be permitted to enjoy equal
rights with all - other citizens.
There is no sense in making delay
in this matter. The State Consti
tution must, soon or late, recognize
the fact that the colored people of
Indiana are citizens. The Demo
cratic majority in the Legislature
has an opportunity to distinguish
themselves by submitting an amend
ment to the people striking out the
word 'white.' Let it be done
promptly, gracefully and cheer
fully!"

Tilton . Beecher.
The argument on the order to
show cause why a bill of particulars
should not be granted in the Til
ton Beecher suit came up Thursday
before Justice McCue in Brooklyn,
Theodore Tilton was present.
Sherman, opened the argument by
reading an order to show cause,
and Judge Morris then read an af
fidavit made by Theftdore Tilton.
It recites:
"That tho sura total of the
knowledge now possessed by him of
the conduct complained of between
Henry Ward Bescher and Elizabeth
R. Tilton, and of the times and
places thereof, consists in confes
sions made by Beecher to Francis
D. Moulton Emma R. Moulton,
Theodore Tilton and others; in
confessions made by Elizabeth R.
Tilton to Emma 11. Moulton.Martha
B. Bradshaw, Florence Tilton.
Theodore Tilton and others; in
written and printed papers, docu
ments and letters from Beecher to
Tilton and other persons ; in acts,
declarations and conduct by Beech
er and Mrs. Tilton tending to
proof without locating acts to any
times or places; and in various
circumstances not amounting to
this proof, derived from acts, oral
declarations, and written papers
and documents of Beecher and of
other persons."
After speaking in reference to
his uncertainty as to date, Tilton
concludes his affidavit by asking
the court, in case a bill of partic
ulars is granted, to insert a clause
to the following effect:
"But this order is not to be so
construed or applied as to prohibit
the plantiff from introducing evi
dence of confessions, acts, declara
tions, writings and documents as
may be admissible under general
rules of evidence as if this order :
had not been made, and which do
not in terms refer to any particular
act or time of adultery, but proving
by such evidence adulterous inter
course charged in the complaint,
although it may not thereby ap
pear to have been committed on
any particular day or at any par
ticular place."
Judge Durel tells an interviewer
in New York, speaking of his fa
mous decision in regard to the
Louisiana election: "Mr. Kellogg
never consulted with me about
anything. I never consulted with
him. During the. progress of these
proceedings no one communicated
with me for the purpose of influ
encing my course except the gen
tlemen of the bar who were engag ed
in the argument."
The Democrats propose to ob
struct legislation in Congress next
winter to such a degree as to force
the President to call an extra ses
sion in the spring. They will thus,
they say, get control of the House
nine months earlier than otherwise.
Good! The revolutionary party
which will control the next House
cannot begin their high handed
work a moment too soon. The
country may as well know the
worst of them at once. It is pre
cisely in their line to put the coun
try to a vast expense for nothing,
and, if not according to this pro
gramme, in some other way we ex
pect to see them do it. If the i
people don't get enough of this
victory ' before they are through
with it, we are no prophet. i

At the risk of being charged with
extravagant ideas, the Journal will
say that in its opinion the Legisla
ture should, at the approaching
session, provide for the building of
an executive mansion. A great State
like Indiana should not be in the
position of having to rent a house
for its Governor to live in, nor
should he be compelled to become
the owner of a house. We care not
what his politics may be, he is the
Chief Executive of the State, and
it should.provide for his use a man
sion befitting his position.
The Journal's head is level on this
question, as well as on building a
new State House.
Concerning the prospect of a new
party arising in the near future,
Harper's Weekly says:
How many Democrats are likely
to leave their party to help form a
new one? and how many Republi
cane, having seen their party will
ing to defeat obnoxious candidates,
however regularly nominated, feel
that it is necessary to form a new
organixation? There will be no new
party, and the President in 1876
will be chosen either by the Repub
licans or the Democrats.
Mr. Tilton submitted his affidavit
in the Beecher suit yesterday, stat
ing in effect that he expected to
Drove none of his allecrations or
! charges more positively in court
than he had done already out ol it.
His witnesses are Mrs. Moulton,
Martha Bradshaw, Florence Tilton,
and himself, and we presume most
of these persons will be found on
examination to know simply noth
ing about the case.

stating that Dr. Livingstone's journals
have reached Zanzibar in safe hands
Sir Arthur Hamilton Gordon, for
merly Governor of Trinidad and Mau
ritius, bas been appointed to the Gov
ernship of the Fiji Islands by the
British authorities.
The Spanish Minister of Foreign
Affairs handed to Mr. Cushin, the
United States Ambassador, a note in
regard to the Virginus question, on
the 4th. An amicable settlement is
expeeted.
The Carlist leader Solano, who was
captured while traveling in a railway
train to Cordova, was shot on the 3d
at Albaceta, Spain, having been ad
judged guilty of assassination and
robbery.
The idea of a partial renewal of the
French National Assembly by period
ical elections is gaining ground among
all parties, and a motion to that effect
will probably eoon be introduced in
the Chamber.
Talk of Disraeli retiring from the
British premiership owing to ill
health. Earl Derby, the Duke of
Richmond, or the Marquis of Salis
bury may succeed him, if he retires,
with chances in favor of Earl Derby.
An Ottawa (Canada) dispatch of
Monday says: "Senator Brown has
effected a modification of the recipro
city treaty by the abolition of the pro
posed sliding scale. Free intercourse
in manufactures is now conceded."
The Russian Government has sent
dotes to the various powers inviting
them to paticipate in a conference to
be held : t St. Petersburg, to resume
discussion of the questions submitted
to the conference lately held at Brus
sels. The message of the French Presi
dent to the National Assembly shows
France to be in a satisfactorily pros
perous condition financially and polit
ically. The President appeals to the
Assembly to adopt measures that
shall secure the stability of the gov
ernment. A debate is progressing in the Mex
ican Congress on a bill restricting the
powers of the Roman Catholic Church.
One clause provides for the complete
separation of Church and State, and
another for the expulsion of the Sis
ters of Charity from the republic.
The committee of the National As
sembly to inquire into the operations
of the army, in the east of France dur
ing the late war have reported. They
condemn Garibaldi for quitting his
command toward the close of the war
without leave, and say if he was a
French general he should be tried by
court martial.
The Bishop of Urgel, Spain, until
lately an adherent of Don Carlos, has
written a letter announcing his aband
onment of the Carlist cause, and stat
ing that he has advised Don Alphonso
to take the same course. He declares
that he will remain in diocese even if
the Republican troops regain posses
sion. The Mark Lane Express in its re
views of the breadstufts market, says
many of the Russian ports were closed
and will remain so until Spring. The i
European wheat markets have been
firm, and fluctuations generally small.
In some places a rise of one shilling
is reported. It is thought that the
lowest rates for- wheat have been
passed. The weather everywhere
favorable for a new crop.
IS
Local Option.
At the late election in Talbott coun
ty, 3Id., local option was adopted in
all but one district o the county.
With the exception of dealers in this
district, the Grand Jury has found
-indictments against all the liquor
sellers in the county, and every bar
has been closed.
Fourteen persons have been com
rnitted to the Insane Asylum from
Dearborn Comity during the year
1874. Two hundred and . thirty
marriage licenses have been issued
during the same time. Possibly
theso two facts may have some
connection. Lawrenceburg Regis

These Navajoe Indians visiting at
Washington conic the nearest to the
ideal red man of any Indians in the
market. The tribe numbers some 10,
000, and have kept the peace since
their subjugation by a large force of
troops, some years ago. These preserve
some of the finest aboriginal arts of
the Indians neighboring to Mexico,
especially that of weaving woolens.
Their blankets are celebrated for their
beauty, and bring a high price. So
ciety is still maintained on the tribal
basis, their chiefs being elective. One
obstruction to their civilization has
been their superstition. They always
burn down a wigwam in which a per
son has died, a practice which was
found to interfere with the growth of
large towns of civilized houses. We
believe the government has given up
building houses for them, as the wig
wam does just as well, and does not
entail a great loss by cremation. The
agent accompanying them is Gov.
Arny, formerly of Illinois, subsequent
ly a prominent free-soil emigrant to
Kansas, and friend of John Brown.
He is said to have furnished Brown
the Sharps that were used at Harper's
Ferry. He was appointed to the Na
vajoe agency in 1860.

Dr. Forsha Sir: Before you start Wi st,
I can do no less than thank you aeain for
your excellent and successful treatment of
my son. He had been sick for many weens,
under the care of a medical gentleman ot
whom I have a high opinion, for his learn
ing, skill and experience, and yet he was
r ot cured. His disease; I suppose (without
ceitalnly knowing, was brought on by
overstraining, in artillery exercise, in very
hot weather, at West Point. VVhen h
came into your hands, his breast bone (one
side at least) was protuded some two inches
oeyonti its proper position, attended with
difficulty of breathing and frequent pains.

i. me npiMiciiiiun 01 your meaieme, ana

the bones were reduced to their nrniwrnn.
sition, the pains ceased, the breathing be
came easy and reeular. and. as far n F
judge, lie Is restored to his accustomed ro-
uust neann ana activity.
Besides this within my own knowledge, I
have heard of manv instancf of ntnmr.

very dangerous wounds.

Dr. -JV Walker's California
Vinegar Bitters are a purely Veg
etable preparation, made chiefly from
the native herbs found on the lower
ranges of the Sierra Nevada moun
tains of California, the medicinal
properties of which are extracted
therefrom without the use of Alcohol.
The question is almost daily asked,
" What is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bit-
tbrs V Our answer is, that they
remove the cause of disease, and
the patient recovers his health. They
are the great blood purifier and a
life-giving principle, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of the system.
Never before in the history of the world
has a medicine been compounded pos
sessing the remarkable qualities of Vik
egar Bitters in healing the sick of
every disease man is heir to. They are
a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
. the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases
The properties of Dr. Walk
er's Vikegab Bitters are Aperient, Dia
phoretic, Carminative, Nutritions, Laxa
tive, Diuretic, Sedative, CouDter-Irritant,
Sudorific. Alterative, and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim
Vinegar Bitters the most wonder
ful Invigorant that ever sustained
the sinking system
No Person can take these Bit
ters according to directions, and re
main long unwell, provided their
bones are not destroyed by mineral
poison or other means, and vital or
gans wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and In
termittent Fevers, which are so .
prevalent in the valleys of our great
rivers throughout the United States,
especially those of the Mississippi,
Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee,
Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colo
rado, Brazos, Bio Grande, Pearl,
Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others,
with their vast tributaries, through
out our entire country during the
Summer and Autumn, and remarka
bly so during seasons . of unusual
heat and dryness, are invariably ac
companied by extensive derange
ments of the stomach and liver, and
other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a ourtrative. exertine a
powerful influence upon these vari
ous organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purpose
equal to Da. J. Waxkkr'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 func
tions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against dis
ease by purifying all its fluids with
Vinegar Bitters. No epidemio can
take hold of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, Fain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of the Chest, Diuinesa, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita
tion of the Heart, Inflammation of thtf
Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys,
and a hundred other painful symptoms,
are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bot
tle will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affec
tions, Old SoreR, Eruptions of the Skin,
Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other
constitutional Diseases, Walker's Viit
oarBitter8 have shown their great cur
ative powers in the most obstinate and
intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases
of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have no equal. Such Dis
eases are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons
engaged in Paints and Minerals, snch as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters and
Miners, as they advance in life, are sub
ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of Walker's
Vinegar Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions,
Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pim
ples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring
worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipe
las, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the
Skin, Humors aud 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.
Fin, Tape, and other Worms
lurking in the system of so many thou
sands, are effectually destroyed and re
moved. No system of medicine, no ver
mifuges, no anthelmintics will free the
system from worms like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young -
or old, married or single, at the dawn of
womanhood, or the turn of life, these Ton
ic Bitters display so decided an influence
that improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood
whenever yon find its impurities bursting
through the skin m Pimples, Eruptions,
or Sores ; cleanse it when you find it ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse
i f wIiam If ia IV ii 1 vaii, faalinm will t.ftll
yon when. Keep tne blood pure, and the '
health of the system will follow.
