Dr. Hubbard.
Doctor Robert. Hubbard of Bridgeport,
has again‘ been put in nomination by the
Republicans of this District/for Congress.
In pointof Character and ability he is the
peer of any candidate before the people and
it will be no compliment to our appreciation
of high character aud‘nuperior merit, if he'
be not elected. He ought to have thesoldiers
vote solid, and the votes of every friend or
relative of the soldier. When the war broke
out, he left a lucrative practice and volun-
teered as surgeon of the 17th Conn. Vols.
He was subsequently promoted to corps
surgeon of the 11th Army corps, in both of
which positions he rendered conspciuons ser-
vice. Wc ourselves saw him after the ter-
rible battles Of Chancellorville and Gettys-
burg composing the dying, and nursing the
wounded and sick, with all the fidelity, ten-
derness and devotion of a mother. The Boys
in Blue, who were the recipients of his un-
tiring attentions on the march and battle
field, will never cease to love and revere
him. “
On. Wednesday October 4, Georgia will
elect a GoverHorJegislature and local officers.
On the Tuesday after that, October 10th,
occur the, great October elections in Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia and Colorado. At
these last the Presidential question will be
virtually settled.

The democrats in New York seem panic
struck at the prospéct of Tweed's early re-
turn. They call his arrest and rendition,
“another Republican outrage." Why, what’s
the matter 1’ Are they afraid the Boss will
“squeal" and give~ away Tilden ? It is now
believed that Tweed left this country in' the
little steamer Thyra, which, was so long in
Norwalk harbor and there) isn’t much more
doubt but that leaders of Tammany including
the sheriff, knew all about the intended dc-
parture. , .
What is termed the “Centennial Fever”
is prevailing in many parts of the country
and a number of deaths have occurred from
it. It attacks its victims either at Philadel-
phia or immediately after their return home,
and the bad water at Philadelphia is general-
ly charged with being the .cause. Dr. Hub-
bard, who, with several friends from Bridge-
port were attacked with.itr gives it as his
opinion that the poison! is in the air and
caused by defective drainagel‘at the Centen-
nial grounds and a too'jlirnite'd use of water
in slashing such sewers as there are. On
lowry days and before the recent rains the
Dr. says the stench in some sections abou
the grounds was unbearable. The aggrega
tion of a half milliou‘of human animals per
day, isnot a fragant subject oroomempla.

Dr. Barbour, Capt. James H. Knapp, and
W. T. Comstock, Esq., arrived in New
York‘on Sunday morning, on the Egypt and
were home with us Sunday evening. They
have enjoyed a very pleasant excursion,
having traveled through England, Ireland,
Scotland and France, and return greatly im-
proved iu health and avoirdupois.
One of our Borough families had a peculiar
and very unpleasant experience last week.
One of the daughter is about to be married,
and had just completed her wedding tros-
scan, when the colored “help" took it into
her head to leave. Soon after her departure,
the startling discovery was made that the
wedding outfit and other female apparel had
been stolen. A telegram was sent to New
York, and the girl was arrested upon her
arrival and held until one of the daughters
could reach the place. Upon examination,
the woman was found to be wearing all the
clothes she could get on her person, and her
trunk was filled with the wedding apparel.
General Newton ofilcially reports to the
New York Pilot Commissioners the following
depths of water over the late Hallett’s reef
explosion: From 180 feet distant from the
shore line to the line of the buoys, .the bot-
tom slopes gradually from eight feet of depth
at mean low water to twenty feet. Outside
the line of the buoys nothing less than twen-
ty feet of depth at mean low water was ob.
served. The divers have been examining the
reef, and report a thorough Break-up.
. a a
Fatal Accident.
Another of those deplorable events which
startle and shock a community from time to
time, occurred 1in our village last Thursday
afternoon. George Slauson was pcoceeding
up Main street with his two-horse team and
wagon laden with a ton and a half of coal from
Meckcr's yard. When near the premises of
Edwin Hoyt, he observed his horse had cast
a shoe. Looking back he saw it lying in the.
street a few rods nearer the Bridge. He stop-
ped his team, laid his reins down and started
back to: the shoe, While thus proceeding
back, the carriage of Mr. C. T. Leonard
passed him and probably started up the team,
for as Mr. S. turned to look towards them he
saw they were plunging into a full run up
street. He run after them but was unable to
catch up. Opposite Mr. Sherry’s was a nurse
girl with two little children of Engineer John
Cotter's, on their way up Main Street. The
running team passed these and then sheered
from the street upon the sidewalk, close to
the front fence of the old; Sherman house,
now the property of the widow Beers. At
this point a gentleman was driving down to
the Bridge, and seeing the runaways immedi-
ately in his front, drove rapidly down Cross
street to Shun them. On this turn, and close-
ly abreast the Cross Street fence of the old
Quigley place, this gentleman encountered
two ladies, who had evidently seen the runa-
way team and were also trying to escape
them. But no sooner had the single horse
shot around this corner than the runaway
team seemed to have been attracted towards
it and dashed suddenly around and closely
behind it. The ladies—one Miss Becching
and the other Miss Elizabeth Harrisson—had
only time to dart back from the fleeing buggy
when the running team was upon them, and
ahnost grazing the fence with the hubs ,of
the heavy vehicle. Miss Beeclliug was a few
feet behind MiSs Harrisson, and by closely
pressing the fence escaped injury, although
she felt the hot breath Of the off steed in her
face as it passed. Miss Harrisson, being in
advance and seeing the team upon her and
now closer to the fence, undoubtedly attempt-
ed to run across to the other side of the
road, for the next thing Miss Beeching heard
was a scream from her and then saw the out-
her. The poor woman was instantly picked
up in an unconscious state ~ and conveyed to
the rear stoop of the Quigley house. The
two doctors McLean were very soon at the
scene, and George Allen, taking her in his
arms as tenderly as a babe, took her to
the house of Charles H. Street. Here Dr.
Gregory soon after arrived and then proceed-
edat once for Dr. Lynes. The physiciaui;
were not long in discovering that she had
sustained fatal injuries, and Dr. Gregory
called a covered barouche and had her con-'
veycd to the house of Mr. James Sherwood,
on Camp street, which she had but afew mo?
ments before left full of life and spirits
A more careful examination revealed the
fact that her ribs had been crushed in upon
Street’s house she was restored to conscious-
ness which she maintained,‘though at times
in terrible agony, up to a few moments prior
to her passing away, which occurred Friday
morning.
seemed attumed to heavenly ruptures and she
had lived a triumphant christian believer;
Her funeral was attended Sunday at 2 o’clock
at the house of Mr. Sherwood, where Rev.
Mr. Bently made a short but appropriate and
deeply impressive address,;and concluded with
the venerable Dl‘. Mead with pathetic and
eloquent earnestness, paid a well deserv-
ed tribute to her womanly worth and abound-
ing christian virtues. Miss Harrison remov-
ed from New York to Norwalk some twenty
years ago with her constant friend and
almost as constant companion, Miss Beeclliug.
They were both forewomen in the Beatty
Straw Hat establishment and although Miss
Harrison had no living blood relative, So
rich was her daily life in generous deeds and
unostentatious kindness, that every one
seemed to feel her tragic death to involve
the loss of a personal frien'd. The church
was cr‘Owded by deeply affected mourn-
ers. Her bier was covered with autumn’s
choicest blooms, the gifts of the loving hearts
she had won by her own goodness. But the
perfume of those beautiful and abundant
flowers shed not the sweetness that the
memory of her untold charities to the poor,
has left behind. She was ever on the search
for objects of charity. The Soldier’s Or-
phan’s Home at Darien was a special object
of her benevolent efforts. The poor, the
sick, the distressed of the town had no more
constant and generous friend. And when
many of the rich and powerful of the earth
shall pass away and be forgotten, the memory
of “Libby Harrison" will continue and
live in the grateful memories of God’s
stricken poor.
At the time Miss Harrisson met with
her death, she was hurrying from a brief call
on her friend Mrs. James Sherwood, to visit
asick family at South Norwalk. Another-
simple incident is told us, which beautifully
illustrates her generous, noble character.
She had her heart set upon visiting the Cen-
tennial, and made her preparations to go, but
learning of a destitute family in town she
visited it, and found the father ill, and the
family suffering for the necessaries of life.
She instantly resolved to forego‘ all the delight
she had anticipated in a visrt to the great Ex-
position, and said she would give the money
she had laid by for the trip to Phlladelpha to
help this poor family through the winter.
Many poor in Norwalk will miss her gener-
ous ministrations this winter, but as she has
gone to glory supernal, may her sweet spirit
of charity descend and fill the hearts of us
all. ‘
Another Distressing Event.
Last Tuesday, John L. Burbank, son of John
L. B/urbank, Esq., of South Norwalk, left
with his cat-boat the “Sallie" for the oyster-
grounds of Stratford. He had a man with
him named Williams. Wednesday at about
4 p. m., the weather becoming rough, he quit
his bystesing and set sail for home. He was
warned not to venture out, as at the time of
leaving Stratford it was blowing a gale. But
he put up mainsail and jib and started. He
is reported as seen passing Bridgeport
about 5 p. m., his vessel laboring heavily‘
and the only one to be seen outside.
As he did not reach home a search was insti-
tuted and on Sunday Capt. Peter Decker
found his boat sunk in fifty feet of water off
Southport. The mast was visible at low
tide, with sails unfurled. Today vessels
have been sent to raise the “Sallie” and drag
for the bodies. The boat was heavily bal-
lasted and it is thought, in the gale, she must
have plunged under, both of the occupants of
course being drowned. We hope to receive
the results Of the dredging party before going
to press.
In searchng for the body of young Bur-
bank off Southport yesterday the masts of a
schooner were seen protruding out of the
water a few hundred yards further out in the
Sound. The supposition is that she too sank,
ncsday, during which young Burbank went
down.
P. S.—Up to the time of going to press the
bodies could not be found although the boat
had been raised. Mr. Burbank, Sr., has the
tenderest sympathy of the entire community
in this loss of his last surviving child.

Our Town Election.
A beautiful day ulhcrcd in the town Octo-
ber elections. in Connecticut. and here in
Norwalk, we think both parties took unusual
pains to put before the people, first class men
for our local officers, especially may we claim
this to be the case with the Republican
nominees. ‘ The voting went on orderly, but
quite briskly throughout the day. There
was the invevitable scratching of candidates,
but not to the extent of other years. The
result ascertained at midnight is that
The entire Republican ticket is elected ex-
cept two Selectmen and one Grand Juror
(O. E. Wilson) by about 70 majority on
straight ticket. Scratching by Republicans
gave the democrats the above officers by small
majority. Ferris had largest vote. Price is
declared elected but Smith has votes enOugll
if contested, to elect him instead of Price.
This is a gain of about 200 over last spring,
and same over last October.

, Our First Republican Rally. ,_
We hazard nothing in saying that never be-
fore in Norwalk, was seen such an exhibi-
tion of enthusiasm and outpouring of the
people,as at our Opening meeting on Wednes-
day evening last. As an evidence of the
wide-spread interest and awakening it was
only necessary to look on the stage and all
about the audience, upon our most aged
citizens, who seldom or never are seen out of
an evening. Indeed, on the stage sat two
professiouol gentlemen—one a clergyman and
theothcr a physician, who had never before
attended a political meeting in their lives.
The cast gallery was reserved and filled with
ladies and the west one for the Boys in Blue,
while every foot of standing room in aisles
and elsewherere was densely packed with
eager listners. Hon. ‘ Samuol Fessendcn, of
Stamford, was the first speaker and occupied
an hour in a cogent, earnest and eloquent ad.
dress, when he was followed by Judge Cul-
ver, always and ever a favorite with our peo-
ple, who held the undivided attention of his
auditors till near eleven o’clock. His argu-
ments were clear and convincing, and his
facts and figures undeniable in his unanswer-
able arraignment of the democratic party.
Judge Culvere's an honest and earnest speak-
er, apd no one in our canvass is listened to
with more profit and pleasure. The South
NorWalk Band acquitted themselves most
creditably both in the hall and as the escort
of the Boys in Blue.
AT LAsr.—Our incorrigible bachelor friend
James Hoyt, of Carter street, New Canaan,
has succumbed at lastand is going to antici-
pate the glorious triumph of Hayes and
Wheeler, by joining the noble army of Bone-
dictine martys, on the afternoon of Oct. 11th.
He has our hearty congratulations, and we
hope his shining example may be a source of
postponed the duty they owe to posterity.

We are glad to notice the growing prosper-
ity of the household of our old friend and
early patron, James Reed, Esq., of the Ash-
tabula Telegraph, in the recent marriage of
his son. May the “tribe increase" and never
be found, like» the scriptural reeds, shakingin
the wind, unless it be the winds of abundant
prosperity.

The rank growth of weeds in the near vi-

grave at our Cemetery on Sunday last attract-

That Pole.
. Our democratic friends had a gloomy time
of it raising that pole. The skies were dark
and threatening and their platform erected
right in front of a conspicuous Comedy 00m-
pany's bill, left the matter in doubt as to
which party was to enact the comedy. At
the appointed time, that sterling democrat,
JOe. Godfrey, of Weston, came riding proud-
ly by astridc of a ninety foot ory which
he had cut from his Weston fa . The sin-
gle pair of charcoal horses looked dejected
on account of the total absence of the men-
ster string of oxen promised to haul it
through the town. The pole is a noble sap-
ling, but a bend at the top indicates the sad
deflection, the party has made from the old
Jacksouiau doctrines and sentiment—“The
Federal Union must and shall be preserved.”
Double sets of flags were strlmg to the pole,
bark in a moat forlorn and sickly way. The
rain beginning to fall the platform was soon
demolished and the “ cheery boys from ould
Irelan ” were invited into Lockwood’s Hall,
Where a Brooklyn reformer named Crosier,

‘It was truly an encouraging circumstance
that the democrats knew enough to go in

O
A Democratic Platform Caves in.
Judge Marsden of Stamford, undertook to
address a mixed crowd of democratic admi
rers at Danbury, last week. Au outside plat.
form had been erected for the afternoon mee t-
ing,'which was well filled with his faithful
political friends. The Judge in the sweetest
of celtic brogues arose, stepped forward and
proceeded to say “Fellow Citizens, I
mount this democratic platform to
when horrors of horrors, crash went the
structure, and orator and the noble galaxy of
vice presidents and sympathizers were thrown.
into an indescribably confused mass. As
soon as it was ascertained that no. one had
been seriously injured, a loud andruproarious
outburst of laughter rent the air. SO ludi-
crous was the break-down, that democrats as
well as republicans joined in the boisterous
merrimcnt over the ominous accident.

RIDGEFIELD FAIR.
Our Ridgefield friends had one of the best
exhibitions for. years, as far as attractive arti-
cles were concerned, although the crowds of
people were diminished. The fruits, apples,
pears, and grapes, were unusually fine. The
vegetables ditto. Grains, wheat, rye, .‘oats,
and corn .vcryjcreditablc. The bread, butter
and cake far ahead at anything we have yet
seen at even our County Fair The ,Floral
exhibits was proquc and beautiful: The
Ladies‘ Industrialplarge in améuht“:ind e?
peciall'y meritoriouslfiits qualities. ‘
Whitney had a superb collection of large
and small photographs. . One of Hon. Joshua
1. King, eliiized many hearty compliments.
John B. Brush, cf South Norwalk, exhibit-
ed several oil paintings and pencil, sketches
which show the natural talent he pOSsesses
and makes on‘c yearn to have him devote
himself to the study and practice of art. For
a youth his pictures evince a remarkable taste
and skill. 1
Harlem had two cases of rich gents' furu~
ishing goods, including the Lilliputian suit
for the next boy baby. .' -'
Lina Weed had his large and showy can of
silvcrplatcd warcsand fancy goods. - '
D'Artois, the .“unrivaled,” was there, of
course, and his cheerful voice was heard
above the din of orators to “walk and try
some.”
Capt. H. K. Scott, had a case filled with
fine Yankee notions in general, silver ware,
:fine cuttlery, &c., togethery With a rich and
costly'sword and scabbard, a 'gift to him by
his old command, Co. H, of Ridgefield. On
its blade is the timely mottoe—“No compro-
mise with Traitors." '
Eri Davis, taxidemist had a fine lot stuffed
squirrels, rampant upon made up branches,
while E. J. Couch has fourteen cases of stufied
birds, from eagles and owls to primaries, wild
cats, weasels, urtles and butterflies.
Hon. Joshua I. King had 27 varieties of
choice garden vegetables ; John W. Loans-
bury- of Caunon’s Station 75 varieties. ‘
Rev. D. D. Bishop, happily combines agri-
culture with his divinity. He has but 4
acres, yet he showed a fine pair of matched
horses, 2 supurb Alderneys, 30 odd varieties
of vegetables, over 800 lbs. of pumpkins the
largest weighing 110 lbs. , and this and two
others nearly as large, from one seed. He
had some of the largest sweet corn we ever
saw. Bean poles so densely loaded with the
pods that pole and vines were nearly couseal-
ed. Fruits of all the out-door varieties, with
3a top off'of 14 cages of poultry and some of
gayest chanticleers at the Fair.
5 Old furniture from 100 years old down to
a century old was an interesting feature. The
first sign that ever swung to attract travelers
to “Keeler’s tavern”—uow Ressiquee’s—was
hung high, but all stopped to view its quaint
decorations and inscriptions. T “T. Kecler's
Inn—1798,” with two Indians on horseback
was on one side and the name and a Conti-
nental military rider on the mort wonderful
horse ever painted on the other side. T. Keeler
was Mrs. Ressiquee’s father and he kept the
Inn at Ridgefield at the time Gen. Wooster
was shot during-the Revolutionary period.
Then there was a gun barrel brought form
France by Lafayette, a lot ' of ancient com-
missions,.wills so, sword and pistol,' also a
penny picked up in Ridgefield of the date of
1752. . -
There was a fine Show of Cattle and espec-
ially of thoroughbred Alderneys and Jerseys.
Mrs. Wm. A. Benedict exhibited a sample of
Alderney butter as rich and yellow as virgin
gold. .
At the close, Rev. Mr. Bishop addressed
the crowd in Exhibition Hall. His remarks
were emmiuently practical. He claimed
that farming now paid better than ever be-
fore, and urged more light, system, more
taste and thoroughness and more attractions
thrown about the farmer’s home. His short
off hand address contained more real grain
and less chaff than any dozen prepared agri-
cultural addresses to which we have listened.
We shall give their Premium List in full in
next week’s Gazette.
The horse show was also exceedingly cred-
itable and the racing considerably ahead, it
was claimed, of our county Fair. ,
There was a marked absence Of liquor and
all dishonest and demoralizing games, side
shows and the like, for which all honest peo-
ple will not fail to thank the Ridgefield Eair
Managers. Now let ussee if Danbury will
have courage and respect enough for decent
visitors to their fair, drive out these disgraces
to our fall town and County and State exhi-
bitions.

The entertainments of the past week have
been varied. Instead of the meeting of the
Board of Councilmen on Monday evening, a
meetingrof' the legal voters of the Union-
Scbool District was held at the Franklin
Street school house, and was largely attended
by aclass of the community, who should
always take an interest and manage the affairs
Of’solargea district, in the interest 'of all...
A Statement Was-made by A. J. Crofutt,
Esq., Chairman of the District Committee,
showing adeficicncyin the treasury, to meet
the current‘expcn'scs up to January 1st, 1877.
Upon a motion being made, to authorize the
Committee to bin-row a fixed sum, a lengthy
but good-natured discussion arose, many of
the speakers wandering from the question,
and referring to acts of ’ the school visitors,
the extravagant expenditures of the district;
out of about 90 who were present, only
9 voted in the afiirmative; none in the nega-
tive on the authorizing the employing of
another teacher for the primary class.
Judge Giddings is in a receipt of a letter
from Ohio from a Well-informed Republican,
who writes there is no cause to apprehend
that Ohio will not go Republican next week.
He says the claimed loss of the German vote,
will not be as serious as that from Republicans
absent at the Centennial.
A son of Harvey Stevens died last week
and his remains were taken to New Canaan
for interment.
The Miss Harrisson who_was killed by the
runaway accident was well known at South
Norwalk as a devoted’ benefactrcss to the
poor. She was hurrying home to visit a sick
family-here when overtaken by the fatal ac-
cident. . - .
An important question is now often asked:
“Why are the ordinances regarding incum-
bering side-walks not enforced ?I’ We re-
spectfully refer all such to the Mayor, as he
certainly knows. ' '
True love never did run smooth. Our
street commissioner, chairman of the Com-
mittec on streets and street contractor, were
all born and brought up in the same county,
butthe measure of ability and intelligence is
so varied in the three, that “love? is counted
out, and for the sake of peace, the commie.
sioner will resign. ‘
Hon. Winfield S. Hanford is quite unwell
and unable to leave his house.
The great cry is heard all around Economy
and Reform. His Honor Mayor Ely sent a
message to the new Board of Councilmen
upon this subject, and except the referring
the message to a committee of five, little has
been heard of it since.
- A little boy was violently thrown from his
horse last week near the Methodist Church,
by an untamed cur dashing out at the horses’
heels. But there is the consolation that
from and after to-day, the hitherto unrestrain-
ed liberty Of these worthless, snapping and
howling dogs is to be cur-tailed.
~‘ A beautiful day was v'ouchsafed us on Sun?
day, which all, "especially those who attended
the dedication of the “Union Chapel" in
Graniteville enjoyed. The services were
participated in by nearly all of the city Cler-
gy, and large delegations from the city
churches, and were exceedingly appropriate
and interesting. Good taste has been dis-
played in the arrangement of the Chapel, and
gream taste in the selections and arranging
the beautiful flowers which were displayed in
such profusion. The residents of that sec-
tion of the town cannOt be too grateful to
the generous donor of the land on which the
chapel is placed, or to the projectors of the
building. May the services held there be
the means of much spiritual good to all those
who attend them. .
James D. Platt, Esq., a son of Rev. Dennis
Platt of South Norwalk has been home this
summer from his recent residence on the
Island of Barbadoes. _ *
At the Friday evening meeting of the
Union Republican Hayes &. Wheeler Club
there was a very large attendance. After
the nomination of candidates for town offices,
short and earnest addresses were made by J.
J. Millard one of? the Vice Presidents who
occupied the chair, Rev. Dennis 'Platt, Rev.
D. R. Austin, Rev. H. N. Dunning, Judge
Giddings, D. L. Millard and others. The
reasons given by all of these speakers for
being Republicans, and supporting the repub-
lican party and principles, were satisfactory
and unausterable. As the time of election
draws nigh these meetings increase in inter-
est and numbers. On Friday evening next,
addresses may be expected from Hon. Oliver
Hoyt of Stamford, who has accepted an in-
vitation to be present, Giles Haulenbeck
Esq., of South Norwalk and Others. A
meeting in Music'Hall is contemplated to be
held soon, at which IIon. Marshall Jewell,
H. W. R. Hoyt Esq-and I. M. Bullock will
be present.
Much anxiety has been manifest, especially
on Sunday, in regard to the safety of John
Burbank Jr., who with his father’s hired
man, left our harbor in hissail boat on Tues-
day last-for Stratford, and expected to return
by Wednesdy evening. Since-then there has
been heavy winds‘and nothing can be learned
of: his present whereabouts. Many of the
oystermen have been searching for him. On
Sunday Capt. Decker found the boat sunk
in the Sound, which leaves, little doubt that
young Burkank and his companion have been
drowned. -

SClrEch’s MANDIIAHII'I‘ILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmon-
ary Consumption. '
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death or a patient; they lock up
the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemor-
rhage follows, and in fact, they clog the action of
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes
of two-thirds'of the cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain ol‘a dull pain in the aide, con-
stipation,, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-
blade, feelings of drowsiness and restlessnesr, the
food lying heavily on the stomach, acCompanicd
with acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a disor-
dered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver.
Persons so ufiected, it they take one or two hea-
vycolds, and .II the cough in the cases be sudden-
ly checked, Will find the stomach and livcrclogged
remaining torpid and Inactive, and almost before
they are aware .thc lungs are a mass of sores, and
ulcerated, the result of which is death.
Sheuek’s Pulmonic. Syrup is an cxpectoraut
whlch does not contain opium or anything calcu-
lated to check a cough suddenly. .
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
at cation, and creates a ravenbus appetite.

Castor-la is a perfect substitute for Castor Oil,
without any of its objections, for it is pleasant to
take, and does not nauseate or gripe. For Costive-

Aye, that is the question. Is it better to quiver
from head to foot in the paroxysms of fever and
aguc, or to banish the atrocious disease by a
course of that standard anti-febrile remedy, Hos-
tetter’s Bitters. There cannot be much doubt as
to the response of the malaria-stricken to this in-
quiry. From every locality on this continent whose
inhabitants are tormented with the shivering
plague comes an increasing demand for the only
genuine preventative and eradicant of malaria pro-
vided by science. The denizens of fever and aguc
districts know how utterly inadequate to do more
than give a brief respite are the .so—called reme-
dies of the faculty. ‘ Quinine, arsenic, bismuth—
What are these but poisonous palliatives, which
cease after a time to produce any beneficial efi'ect
whatever, and if persisted in wreak irreparable
mischief up in the system ? Everywhere they are
being abandoned by lutelligeut‘persons, and that
genuine vegetable specific for intermittent and re-
mittent disease, Hostetter’s Bitters, substituted in
their place. 1 lmlo
