Dalr and his securities, the following plea of the defendant, which was objected to by the prosecution, was sustained by Judge McDonald: And for a further plea, the defendant aays he ought not to be charged with said dent by virtue of said supposed writing obligatory, because he says that the supposed writing obligatory was by the detendant signed when the same was in blank as to the names of the obligors, upon the condition that James Dalr should also sign the same as a joint obligor with the defendant, and that the same writing obligatory thus signed was left with the said William F. Banks as an escrow to be by him delivered to the plaintiff’s agent, in case the same was so afterward executed by James Dalr and not otherwise. That the said Dair did never sign said supposed writing obligatory, and the same was never delivered aa a valid bond of this defendant, whereby the said writing of this defendant Is signed upon the condition sforesald became ana was annulled and vacated, and so this defendant says said supposed writing obligatory Is not bis deed.

Police Board Invcatlgatlng Court. Court met at Council Chamber, pursuant to adjournment, at three o'clock p. m. yesterday. The President of the Board, Mr. Seldensticker, not being present, Dr. Jameson acted in his stead. John Hanna Esq., continued his argument for the defense. The main point of Mr. Hanna’s argument was that there was not, nor had the City Council the legal right to enact an ordinance prohibiting the police from receiving any rewards for recovering stolen property; if anycitlsen, to further his own interests, thought proper to offer a reward for the recovery of money or goods stolen from him, no court or corporation had the legal right to prevent any person recovering such property, from claiming and receiving such reward. At the conclusion of Mr. Hanna's remarks, the prosecution announced that they had submitted all their evidence on the charge regarding Mr. Cottrell’s overcoat, being charge No. 11, and were willing to submit the charge, together with the charge concerning the Baker affair. The President said that/in the absence of Mr. Seldensticker, the Board could not render a decision upon the charge that had been submitted, but, if the defense had any evidence to produce in the matter of Mr. Cottrell's coat, the Board was ready to hear such testimony. J. P. Duval was then sworn and testified: Acpnainted with Mr. Cottrell; has known him some time; heard his testimony; had no conversation with Mr. Cottrell about his overcoat; in May last there were pawn broking establishments kept by May, Wagner, Holoinon and Erie Locke; never saw any such coat at any pawnshop; recollected following a man said to be from Kaysville, and saw him at May’s with a pawn ticket. drnss-Examination—Xever kn"w of any one having the coat, or whore it was; had a conversation with Mr. John Knight, but did not say to him that Cottrell was making a d—a fool of himself about his coat, that the coat was at Bridgeport; told Knight he had no recollection of talking with Cottrell; might have told him the coat was at Raysville, and if required, would go there nnd see about it, If he was paid his expenses. Hccaltcd—Xol the duty of policemen to go to other places In search of stolen property or thieves; had done so, but quit the practice. Mr. Wilson—Cottrell had informed him of loss of the coat and place from whence It was taken; had detailed men to watch the trains; Cottrell hud described suspected party; bad told Duval, and Duval said ho thought the man belonged at Raysville; Duval informed him tie had followed the man to where he had pawned a fiddle at a pawnbrokers. Duval, recalled—lias no knowledge of a conversation such as Cottrell alleged to have taken place; never saw or heard of the coat since It was stolen; had bought the fiddle that was pawned for $2. Cross-examined—Bought the pawn check from the man who pawned it. Hoe* not know whether it was stolen property. Henry Paul—Chief Wilson had told the force <<!_(• ot troll's loss, and gave description of coat and party suspected of taking it; Duval stated a few evenings afterwards that bethought a manat Kaysville had got it, and he (Duval) had offered Cottrell to go for it on payment of expenses, which would be about six oreight dollars. Mr. Hanna argued to the case for the defense, and was followed by M. M. Ray on behalf of the prosecution. The President announced that the Hoard would take the charges under advisement, and Court adjourned until seven o’clock. During the afternoon session the following additional charge against Joseph P. Duval was filed by the prosecution. Ho further charges that heretofore, towit: on or about the day of , 1808, Rev. B. F. Foster, being at that time Librarian of the .State Library, lost two valuable books from said Library, and offered for the return of the same a reward of $50; that thereupon and afterwards the said Joseph P. Duval, being a policeman of the city of Indianapolis, returned the said books to him, said Foster, and demanded and recovered from him the said reward of $60, and than and there refused to disclose to said Foster the whereabouts of the thief, or the place from which ho had obtained said books, or to give any information that would lead the said" Foster to obtain such information. Wherefore, he charges that the said Duvall was then and tuere, and contrary to his duty as a member of the police of said city, In collusion and complicity with thieves, and that by arrangement with thieves he secured, and thus received, rewards for the return of stolen property to the citizen* of Indianapolis, and the said Foster being such citizen. (Signed) Thomas Cottrkll, Councilman from the Seventh Ward of the city of Indianapolis. rvenino session. Dr. Jameson preslding, announced that the Board was still unable to take up the fifteenth charge, as Mr. Seldensticker, who was absent, bad it under consideration, there being legal points involved, that other members of the Board did not think themselves sufficiently Informed in matters of law to pass upon. Mr. Seidenetlcker had been sent for, sad would probably appear before adjournment, After some consultation between the legal forces It was agreed that the new charge against Duval, given In this report, should he brought up for examination, and B. F. Foster was culled by the prosecution and sworn. B. F. Foster—Has been State Librarian four>ears; during time he has been In office six volumes of Audlbon's Natural History bad been stolen from the Library; could not give dates of the loss; consulted with Governor Baker as to proper measures to be taken in order to recover them ; also spoke to Mr. Stevens and Dr. Corless of the loss and gave information to Mr. Wilson; Duval called upon him soon aftenward; said he thought he could get them back, but it would cost something to obtain them; told Duval that probably a reward would be paid for their recovery; consulted with the Governor, and as the set had cost the State $500 they thought it would be proper to offer $50 reward; Duval called again the next day and waa told what reward would l» paid; Duval returned the books the duv afterward and received an order for the amount ($60) of reward; Duval refused to state from whom he got the books, stating that he was under obligations not to reveal such information; was under pledge not to tell; at the first interview said "it would cost shout $26 to get them; mentioned the lose first to Mr. Stevens and then to Mr. Wilson; the books were stolen ft-om the library by forcings window,

the frames showing marks of a chisel having been used. C'ross-Examination—Might have offered s reward when he spoke to Wilson, as he was very anxious to reoovsr them; there was only two other original seta of the work In the State, and they were rained at $1,800 a set; was s citizen of Indianapolis. M 3. P. Duval—Had heard the testimony of Mr. Foster; had recovered the books from Mr. Solomon on payment of twentyfive dollara; had told Solomon if the books were brought there to take them in and he would pay him for them; Solomon said the man who brought the books was a heavy aet man, and would point him out if he ever aaw him again, had no complicity with the theft or pawning of the books, and knew nothing of the person who stole them. Cross-Examined—Told Solomon if there waa no policeman around to make an arrest, to take the books In at as low s rate as possible; told this to Solomon before interview with Foster; had told Solomon the books were stolen and described them; did not tell him in this case to take the hooka aa stolen property and refuse to advance upon them and then refuse to give them back; told all the pawn brokers; a Mr. Green, a gambler, gave him Information of the theft of the hooka and told witness the books would be put In pawn; oan not say how long It was Defore the books were recovered, that he told Solomon to hold them; it was three or four days after conversation with Foster before be recovered them; can not sav bow much he gave Green for information; told Solomon the books were stolen from the State Library and were worth a large amount of money; made the arrangement with Solomon aa 1U would be difficult for him to find a policeman, there bring only one in each Ward in day time; majority ot people were willing to get back their property without going to tne trouble of a prosecution. Mr. Soloman sworn—Was notified by Duval that certain books had been stolen and gave dlscrlption of them, and arranged that if they were offered for pawn to take them in low as possible, providing no policeman was about to effect an arrest. Books were brought in about next day noon after the arrangement: books cost him $26 and a five cent stamp; Duval paid him $25; had no Intimation other tnan from Duval about the thief. Cross-Examined—Place of business is on Illinois street, corner of Pearl; alter the party who brought the books bad left, witness went to the door and watched him; the man went south; detained him as long as possible; could give no description of him atr this time; made no outery or attempt to arrest the man; the man wanted $40 for the books; did not see any marks on the books at the time they were offered, that would prove they belonged to tbs State Library; had no arrangements In goneral with Duval or any of the force about stolen goods; this instance was special arrangement; would not make an arrangement with any person to take in stolen property for purpose of obtaining any reward. Thomas Wilson, sworn—First information of the theft came from Mr. Htevens, and afterwards from Mr. Foster; had notified the entire force of the theft, at hla desk In the police office. Jacob B. Power, sworn—-{by prosecution)—On the day before the books were recovered was in Solomon’s office; a gentleman came in with carpet sack containing books, and requested their pawn; Solomon unlocked the sack and looked at the books; witness passed out and went to Palmer House, where he beard that certain books had been stolen from the state Library, and Mr. Foster bad offered $50 reward fois their recovery; thought the books ottered at .Solomon's might be the ones, aud so went back to Holomon’a. Witness was proceeding to state his conversation with Solomon, when the defense raised the objection that such conversation was inadmissible as the defendant was not present at time of such conversation. After a lengthy legal dlsciiHaion, the President decided the testimony admissible. Witness proceeded—Mr. Solomon said Duval had been there inquiring for some books; Solomon said he had examined the books brought in the carpet sack, and thought they were not the ones wanted; went to Mr. May’s, and May seemed to know the description of the books and their value, and supposed they had been run off to Now York; mot Mr. Foster the next day, who told him that Duval had recovered the books, but had refused to tell from where he got them; saw Duval soon afterward, and Duval said ho found the books In a brush heap at Sholbyville; that if he had not found them as soon as ho did tho thief would have got away with them; did not examine the books lie saw brought in at Solomon’s, but thought from appearances they were a portion of a doctor’s library; Mr. Solomon had told him it was customary to require tho names of every person offering goods for pawn. All tho testimony In this charge being in, Major Gordon opened the argument, and at the conclusion of his remarks, the Court adjourned until nine o'clock this morning. Tho members of the Board earnestly desire the attendance of Mr. Seldensticker at the next meeting.

female prisoners calculated to make a man bloah. County jails should bn greatly Improved, and to a great extent done away with. There should be a different arrangement of the courts, making them merely temporary habitations, and the offenders shonld immediately be sent to the Intermediate or State prisons, as the nature of their crimes might demand. But the penitentiaries, aa now conducted, were not calculated to reform prisoners. Take the Jeffersonville prison, where there were four hundred and eight men of all ages, temperaments and conditions thrown together, with no hopes of bettering themselves. A man is mixed in with others with nothing to do but to serve his time out, and when that is done he Is thrown out upon society disgraced, and has frequently no resource but to return to a life of crime. / The Speaker then cited the case of a toy confined in the Michigan City prison for three years, and to whom be had spoken in reference to bis chances of reformation after his discharge, and who in reply aoouted the idea of all reformation on his part, saying that he had been locked up for three of the best years of his life, and that no man would received him or help him on. He also spoke of two or three others whose feelings were just the same. They were treated as If all men were their enemies, and It was no wonder that their hands were raised against every man’s. Many of these men were susceptible of reformation. One boy In particular, confined for life In the Jeffersonville prison, could have been reformed under the right treatment. When he found he could not gain admission Into the House of Refuge, he attempted to escape, and, being foiled, committed suicide, hanging himself In his cell. 'Under a different course of treatment that boy could have been reformed. Mr. Coffin then went on to speak ot some of tbe boys in the House of Refuge, the changed condition that had taken place in them, and r ihe probability that a similar system applied to older coavlcts would be equally efficacious. The laws of the State in reference to convict, be did not think, were fully carried out. For instance, tbe law required that every convict who was Ignorant, should be taught to read and write, and there were other laws in reference to their treatment be did not think were fully obeyed. At tbe Jeffersonville penitentiary men and women both were whipped — lashed with the cat-o’-nine tails unmercifully. And prison officers of this State will tell you that they oan not govern convicts without whipping them. At the prisons, too, but onefourth of those confined were allowed to hear religious Instruction once every week. The speaker mentioned these things, not with the intention of arraigning anybody, but because thev were facts. He then spoke at some length of the system of graded prisons adopted in Ireland* explaining tho different methods used in reforming prisoners, educational. Industrial and religious. There men were taken from on* prison to another, and their eondition bettered as they grew better; and as fast as any good resolution was manifested It was encouraged and developed. By this means a great many prisoners wore reformed. .Some men, tbe speaker believed, were not susceptible of reformation. Ho would not ameliorate tbe condition of such, he would only ameliorate tho condition of con vista ns reforms took place. The things which injured the prison system in this State were tho giving the control of the penitentiaries to persons for political services, the letting out of the labor by contract and tbe fact that prisons were not always conducted with clean bunds. The speaker would not advocate any measure at present that would involve the outlay of money, except by the erection of a woman's prison and girl's reformatory, which were greatly needed, os be proved by several weighty arguments. An offer bad been made in this city of the ground and foundation of a building for such a purpose. His proposition, which was not original with him.

rite Prison Njstsin of the State—Sleeting In tbe Interest of Reform—Interesting Addresses—Petitlen Adopted ft.tr. For some time past a committee of the Society of Friends have been visiting the penitentiaries and county jails through out tho State, examining into their condition and management, with a view to bringing about a reform in tbe matter of punishment for crime, and making It what the law of tho State contemplated that it should be. Having to some extent completed their labors In this direction, the committee, consisting of Messrs. Charles F. Coffin, Caleb Johnson, and Timothy Nicholson, issued a circular, culling for a meeting of those interested in the question, to bo held at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association last night. In response to this call the room was crowded at an early hour, by many of tho best citizens ef Indianapolis, together with members of the Legislature, and other persons from various parts of tho Htate. On motion, James M. Ray was called to the chair, and the meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. D. M. Btewart. Rev. William Armstrong was appointed Secretary. The chairman expressed his gratification at the large attendance, saying that doubtless, before the close of the year, It would be wondered that It was so long before such a meeting was held. Mr. Charles F. Coffin stated that the meeting was called by the Society of Friends. His connection with tbe House of Refuge bad forced the matter of penal punishment upon his consideration. It was the opinion of the Friends that our whole prison system was wrong; that the prisons were not reformatory institutions, but schools of vice, calculated te throw tholr Inmates upon society more hardened than ever. The State was deriving great Injury from tho prisons, both pecuniarily, morally and religiously. The bill of rights of the State said that the penal code should be adjusted to the principles of reform and not to vindicate Justice. The question comes up, "Csn prisoners be reformed?” A warden of one of our prisons said, ‘‘No, it couldn’t be done;” but tbe Friends saw no reason why it could not be done. He proceeded to show that a system of prisons could be adopted which would reform a majority of their inmates. This was the ease In Ireland. Prisons could be made profitable to the State Instead of burdensome, as they now are. The Detroit House of Correction, conducted on the purest reform principles, yielded a profit to the city of $10,000 a year. The labor of convicts In this State was farmed out at ridiculously low figures, and under different management the labor might be made to support the prisons without in the least detracting from the merits of the reformatory system. But to go farther back examine tbe coun’y jails. The Speaker then described the old Jail In his own oonnty (Wayne), showing that the accommodations were not only alarmingly Insufficient, but all prisoners were herded together, al• lowing tbe adepts in crime to injure and corrupt the others. Even a worse state of things existed in some of the eountlee of the State. Even here In this city there were circumstances connected with the

them to you and pray that you may be imbued with that wisdom which Is profitable to direct you in the responsible and Important duties of the position you

hold.

William S. Ferrier, President of the Board of Directors pf the State Prison South, being then called upon, entered into a defense of the present system, but more particularly of tbe action of the Directors In carrying out the law. He said that the bad features of our prisons were mainly attributable to the defects in the law. All subordinate officers were appointed by the Warden, who had almost exclusive control of the prison, and if a bad man happened to be chosen Warden, the whole prison was affected for the worse. In regard to the question of punishment, he believed that whipping was wrong, but in four years acquaintance with the prison he had never met a man who did not advocate it, not only as the best manner in which to preserve discipline, but as, in tbe long run, the most humane; being far preferable to tbe dungeon or the douche, which latter punishment consi^d in pumping cold water upon the back of the neck, and was said to be the most exquisite torture. As regarded education it was true {bat tbe law demanded the rudimentary educa tion of the convicts, and also that a library should be maintained in the prison, but during tbe twelve years that law had been in force not one single book had ever been furnished by the State. What books there were at the Southern penitentiary had been begged from door to door by the moral Instructor. Mr. Ferrier also defended at some length the contract system. Mr. Alfred Harrison advocated tbe Insertion in the petition of a provision that no member of tbe Board should receive any compensation for his services. Mr. John W. Ray had served twelve years in the Southern penitentiary, a part of the time as Director, and knew that everything said by Mr. Coffin was susceptible of proof. He gave some interesting facts in regard to the financial condition of that prison for eighteen years, and also indorsed Mr. Harrison’s remarks in reference to compensation, saying that no man could begin to earn $800 a year as a prison director. A resolution was then offered to the effect th» ii o petition offered by Mr. Coffin be adopted by tbe meeting for signature. Hon. A. D. Hamrick, one of the Directors of the Northern Prison, then gave an account of the workings of that Inatitutlon, and of his opinion in reference to whipping, the control system, etc. Further remarks were then made by Messrs. Jno. W. Ray, Hamrick and Ferrier, the Utter claiming that any prison directur who performed his duty faithfully, would find that bis expenses and value of lime would more than exceed the salary received. Rev. D. M. Stewart then made a lew brief, but exceedingly opposite remarks, saying that the meeting had wandered away from the real subject, which was not what tbe prisons cost bat how the prisoners might be reformed. That tbe former was at this time a question of no

Prof. Black’s Concert tkts evening for tho benefit of the Y. M. C. A. • Wonderful.—Henry W. Burr, No. 40, West 14th Street, while on a visit to tbs West, was attacked with severe illness from drinking impure water. Life was despaired of, and it was thought that he mast die.

City Court.—In the Police Court yesterday, Edward Kelso and James Gibson, who swindled a man named Curry py confidence game last Friday, were fined $100 each, with costs, amounting in all to $113 30. Gibson was fined $25 and costs on an additional charge, and a similar charge against Kelso was held under ad-

importance whatever, and should not ' viaemont. illiam Magee, for drunk

burden the minds of those present. Judge Cbapman then spoke at considerable length of the manner in which the prifi'.ns of the State were conducted, and how the object of tbe punishment of criminals had been distorted from what tho wishes of the constitution intended it should be. It was not for the purpose of reform, as tbe bill of rights demanded it should bo, but rather tor vindictive Justice. He described the condition of our own jail, how all classes of offenders, from the violators of city ordinances to the moat heinous criminals, were associated together in one room. He advocatsd warmly the establishment of a prison for females, and a reformatory institute for girls, aud alluded to his own experience in this matter, having frequently had to discharge women convicted of light offenoes because there was no place to send them, and again on tbe

but was that proposed in the now Constl- other hard having sometimes to send

tution ot New York, was embodied in a

petition which he then offered. The petition is as follows:

To the Bennie nnd House of Representa-

tives of the Stnte of Indiana:

The undersigned citizens of this State beg leave to represent to your honorable bodies that, believing our present Slate Prisons are not founded and conducted

“on principles of reformation” as required , . , . ,, 777’ 7 ’ ur “bill of rights” as well ns by the“ pointedly, of the necessity for educa-

by our “bill of rights”

dictates of humanity and the principles of our holy religion, would respectfully request that the laws regulating them, may undergo a careful revision, and that the following points may receive your consideration and prompt action: First—The appointment of a Prison Board, consisting of five persons, who shall be selected from amongst our t>est citizens, who are willing to engage in the work without expectation of pecuniary reward or political preferment, and who will manage the trust committed to them fhithfully an conscientiously, for tho good of ths Htate and the reformation of the convicts, to whom the care of tho prisoners now belonging to the Htate, and such as may hereafter bo erected, shall be committed, and who shall have the appointment and entire control over the officers and employes of said prisons, with power to change or remove them as occasion may require. We oelieve that under the Judicious management of such board,our prisons would soon be conducted not only without expense to the State, but greatly to tbe benefit and ultimate reformation of many of the convicts. Hocond—That the reformation of the convicts be the great object to be had In vfew by said Board, and to this end a system of gradation be entered upon and carried out by which all prisoners may, for good conduct, have the severity of their punishment gradually lessoned, and receive a part of the proceeds of their labor, thus holding out an inducement for

reformation.

Third—That the literary Instruction of the ignorant may be attended to; that moral influences of the highest character may be brought to bear upon them; and that especial attention may bo given to their religious instruction, as means necessary for their reformation. Fourth—That an appropriation be made and said Hoard be authorized to erect a “Prison for Women,” and a “Girl Reformatory,” aa speedily as possible; such institutions to be conducted as far as practicable by ladles; and thus to take from our present prisons a source of great corruption ana immorality, as well as Insure the conviction of female delinquents, and remove from the community a source of great evil and contamination. Fifth—That said board be authorized and instructed to prepare and submit to the next meeting of the Legislature, the place and estimated cost of an “Intermediate Prison,” to which young convicts between tho ages of sixteen and twenty-five, And those convicted of minor offenses, may be committed, and thus remove them from the Influence of hardened associates; ns well as to make a place to which convicts who have given sufficient evidence of reformation, may be transferred for further trial. Sixth—That said Board be directed to keep themselves advised of the condition of our county Jails, and when any ore so sonstruoted or are being so managed as to violate the laws of humanity and lead to the moral ruin of those Incarcerated in them, they shall lay the matter before the commissioners and people of the county where located, and urge such change* and improvements as seem ne-

cessary,

We believe that if these measures were efficiently and earnestly carried out, and the term of service of said Board was made sufficiently long to enable them fully to acquaint themselves with the whole business, and to carry out the measures which they propose, it would result in Inestimable benefit to the people of the State, and Involve it In less expense than our present defective system has done, and that it would be the means of saving many fellow beings from a life of sin and lawlessness. Conscientiously and earnestly entertaining thaaa views, we weald present

them to the penitentiary, as that, In his best judgment, seemed to offer to them the only relief from immediate ruin. The resolution adopting Mr. Coffin’s petltien was then passed, and the officers ol tho meeting directed to sign it on tho

part of the meeting.

Mr. Hullivan, tho chaplain of tho Htate Prison Houth, then spoke briefly,

tion in this matter. The subject of prison reform was a scientific one, and involved a great many questions. No Christian, remembering bis Master, should say that any criminal, no matter how depraved he might be, could not be reformed. There were methods by which nearly every

man coaid be reached.

On motion, a committee, consisting of Messrs. Coffin, James M. Ray, and Evans, of Fort Wayne, was appointed to present the petition to the Legislature. An animated discussion then took place aa to the propriety of having Mr Coffin address tho Legislature upon the subject, which was finally settled bv referring the matter to •he committee with instructions to act as should seem best. Where upon the meeting adjourned. Mr. Coffin announced thafcln a few days Mr. Z. R. Brockway, Superintendent of the House of Correction at Detroit, and known throughout the country as one of the most thorougiy educated, well Informed and successful prison directors in the United States would visit the city, and ho hoped would be able to address a public meeting. Should Mr. Brockway come, wo hope that ho and Mr. Coffin will be invited to tbe Legislature to deliver addresses upon this subject which interests every citizen of the State, and Is

of great importance.

Tite Concert To-nioht.—We are glad to learn that a large number of tickets for Professor Black’s Concert to-night, have already been disposed of, and we shall expect to see a crowded house. The excellence of the entertainment no ono can doubt, and all know of the good which will be done with the money realized. The Y. M. C. A. is now in a straightened condition, and yet are called upon to do a larger work than ever before. Only yesterday fifty persons applied at the rooms for relief, and the daily number in the past two months will average thirty. Tho Association is now unable to relieve all who call for assistance, and unless helped in some way those persons will be thrown directly upon the public, or be allowed to suffer. The opportuity presented by this concert of aiding tbe Association, and, at tbe same time, getting more than the worth of your money, shonld bo taken advantage of by every

body.

A Sensible Fink.—A young lady who works in the bindery at the Journal Offlse, while going borne on Virginia avenue on Monday evening was molested and grossly insulted by a man who gave his name as Thomas S. Allison. The fel low was arrested and tried before Judge Scott yesterday morning, who fined him ten dollars and coats, remarking that the fine would have been heavier bad it not been shown that tho defendant was too much intoxicated to remember correctly. Velocipedes.—Shaw & Lippincott, the enterprising carriage builders, No. 26, 28 and 30 East Georgia street, have the honor of turning out tho first Velocipedes made in this city, and will furnish them at a price that will popularize them here at once.

The Hachluc, called Han,

Is a very complicated and delicate one, aud is more liable to get out of order, and much more difficult to repair, than any combination of wheels, and sranks, and levers, made by the hands of man. As a ruit, it is Unhered too mush, and badly tinkerei at that. It is often calomeliied, narcotised, depleted, and otherwise misused, when all that it really needs is a wholesome tonic and restorative like HOSTETTSR’S STOMACH BITTERS to put in proper trim and keep it so. The stomach is shamefully maltreated. In the first place, the food which its juices are intended to dissolve, is too frequently thrown inio *1 hastily, and in a half-masticated condition, in which state the gastric acid can not properly aet upon it. The result is dyspepsia. Then comes ths dostor, and finding the digestive organs weak and the bowels inert, he proceeds to weaken and paralyse still more with drastic purgative*. These failing—as they always do—to produce a salutary change, he tells the invalid that medical science can do no more for him. This, with all due deference, is a mistake—one of those mistake* which Talleyrand said were tantamount to crimes. What the dyspeptio need* is invigoration. Strengthen the stomach with H0STETTER’S BITTERS, and the stomach will strengthen every other part of the human machine, and make it, in oommon parlance, as good as new. Upon the state of the digestion depends, in a measure, the condition of the whole system. Now, the Bitters are the most admirable tonic known. They consist of the finest vegetable invigorants and restoratives, combined with an unadulterated stimulant. The dyspeptio needs nothing else to effbot a cure, except a light nutritious diet, and a fair amount of exercise. Even in the absence of these last mentioned acsessories, the toni* and alterative prop«-ties of the preparation will work wonders, enabling the dyspeptio to digest inferior fare with comparative ease, and to maintain a good habit of body, in spit* of the drawbacks of a sedentary oesupation. ian8 deodAwlw It is important that worms should be eradicated before they have too far debilitated and irritated the stomach, for there is no telling where their ravages may end. They do not confine themselves exclusively to the stomach and bowels, as many suppose, for they have even passed through the coats ofthe stomach, and been found in the liver and bladder, causing the most distressing diseases, which of eourse can not be removed so long as the irritating cause is lodged in those organs. Aside from these dangerous consequences, which result trom their undisturbed possession of the stomach, they cause an unwonted secretion of mucus, which is fruitful in disease. la this mucus they live and multiply, causing it constantly to accumulate, and inducing foul stomach, indigestion, and a host of disagreeable attendants, which grow in violence until they either end in a confirmed and incurable chronie affection, or the worms are removed. In view of these facts, it becomes the imperative duty ef every parent to watch the health of his child, and to provide himself with that potent specific, B.A. Fahxxst ex’s Vcaxiruoi. Great eaution must be used by every purchaser to be his own judge in one sense, and to examine every bottle he buys of it. The simple name of FamarocK is not sufficient.
