Vice-President Colfax’s Statement.

The following is the statement macle hv Mr. Colfax before tbe Poland CreditMobilier Investigating Committee, on the 11th. His account of the receipt of the fI,OOO frotp Mr. Nesbit was corroborated by the evidence of his step-father, Mr. Matthews, and his half-sister, who were present when the letter from Mr. Nesbit was opened: Gentlemen: Last fall I was one of a number of persons in public life charged with having been bribed with gifts of stock in the Oedit-Mobllier, from which enormous dividends had been received and for which certain legislation had been procured. I reSlled to these charges in a speech at South end, September 25,1872, in which, after showing that the most important part of this legislation had been enacted four years before the alleged bribery, I responded to a personal attack as follows, which I read from the Chicago Inter-Ocean of the next day: —“Merer having in my life a dollar of stock of any kind that I did not pay for. T cislm theright to rurchaes stock in the Credit Mobilier or Credltmmobllier. if there Is one. Nor do I know of any law prohibiting It Do I need to add that neither Oakes Ames nor anv other person ever gave or offered to give me one share or twenty shares or 900 shares In the Credit MoNller. or any other railroad stock, and that unfortunately I have never seen or received the valne of a farthing out of the 970 per cent dividends, or the 800 per cent dividends, in cash, stock or bonds you have read abont the past month, nor 100 per cent ~ nor the tenth of one per cent.; I have said that if twenty shares of it conid be purchased at par. without buying into a prospective lawsuit, it wonld be < good investment, if as valuable a stock as represented; but, never having been plaintiff nor defendant in a court of justice, 1 want no stock at any price with a lawsuit on top of it” It will be seen from these extracts that I publicly claimed; last fall, the right to purchase the stock, and avowed frankly that I would have been willing to pay for twenty shares if I did not buy into a prospective law suit, but that no possible profits could induce me to Involve myself in litigation, having, over four years before this speech, voluntarily abandoned a contract to purchase at a rate I had stated, and on the very grounds I had stated. Having no certificate, no ownership of stock in >t, my answer to the charges then made is the exact truth; and then I frankly accepted, also, whatever odium might attach to willingness to purchase and to hold its stock as I then understood it. , I will add that what I said last September, that neither Oakes Ames dor any other person ever gave or ottered to give me any of this stock, has been repeatedly printed during the session, with the essential word give omitted, entirely ehaaging its sense. Ames having sworn, December 17th, in his original statement before Hie committee, which he declared (see page 21 of evidence) embodied the exact facts, that he could not remember having paid me any dividends, now declares that in June, 1868, a check payable to the initials “S. U.” or bearer, for’sl,2oo, but not indorsed by me or uny one else, was paid by him to me as cash dividend of Credit-Mobi’lier. In answer to this charge I repeat again that I have not the slightest knowledge or recollection or belief that I ever saw this check or any other check of-Ames’ till he presented it before this committee, nor that I have ever -been paid or proffered by him, directly or indirectly, in check, stock or bonds, twelve hundred, or one hundred, or one dollar, or any amount whatever. I further state that I have not the slightest knowledge, recollection, or belief that I ever heard there was, or could be, any cash dividends of the Credit-Mobilier till the discussion of last fall, and I am as positive as I can be of any fact _in the past, that Ames never spoke to me of this last dfvidend. and never paid or proffered to me in person, or through any other channel, any check, or money, or bonds, on that or any other account. It seems to me impossible and incredible that I should have received the check without remembering that addition to my income, and especially in a eheck drawn so singularly, as to initials and not containing my'name at all, nor conid I have talked to him when he failed as I did about letting the SSOO go wnich I had paid him on dividend stock if he had paid me an overplus of S7OO. I must add that untllto-davlliave never heard of the certificate for $1,500 of Union Pacific bonds. S6O interest on which Ames says he paid me in January, 1869, and I would not have been more astounded to have been charged by him with the assassination of one of his family than I have been by his charges that he paid me either $1,200 or S6O, or any other amount whatever on stock that I had abandoned. I will add that for Over four yews I have spoken in my family of this transaction exactly as T described it in my testimony of January 7, namely, that I had contracted to purchse; had paid about $500; had heard of threats and acrimonious litigation among its princiS al stock-holders; and had therefore abanoned it without receiving any dividend or certificate, but at loss of' the money I had paid upon it; and of the fact of those conversations I will produce evidence. I come now to the bank deposit of $1,200 in bills for June 22, 18GS, and the Committee will remember that I really invited the examination of my bank accounts by stating to them, unasked that I kept my accounts at the First National . Bank, where all my checks deposited would be found indorsed by me whether payable to order or bearer. Difficult as it is to recall all the transactions of five years in a public man’s life, I will state to "the Committee where all the money came from deposited from June 22, 1868. and will add that it was thernonth’lmmediately succeeding iny nomination for the office I now hold, and the total deposit was $1,968.63, and there being no previous deposit later than the Ist of June, it shows that the amount was an accumulation of moneys paid to me during the intervening three weeks. This is also proven by the dates of the checks deposited. One check was for $lB 63, dated Jane 13, signed by J. N. Seymour, since deceased; one for $250, dated June 12, signed by E. C. Cardin; and onefpr SSOO, dated June 17, signed by T. Denny & Co., none of them having the slightest connection with the subject of investigation before this Committee. Of the deposit bills for $200,1 am positive they were paid me by my stepfather, Matthews, on account of a debt he owed- me. In December, 1867, I paid $455 for a piano bought for his daughter, the check for which is in the bank, and 1 agreed to wait for the most of it until the summer, when h’ffTxpected to be better able to pay me. After my nomination in May, 1868, I had numberless appeals for contributions for political expenses in various localities, for processions, bands, charity, religious aid, etc., and I had promised to contribute as promptly and largely as possible to liquidate the expenses of the canvass in my sharply contested State of Indiana. I therefore asked Mr. Matthews to pay the indebtedness as soon as he could do so, so as to assist me in meeting the demands Incident to my new position. During the month of June, 1868, and as nearly as I can fix tbe time about the middle of the month, he paid S2OO in. bills on account* And early next month he paid me another installment, completing payments before Congress adjourned, T-«m very confident that this S2OO formed partoT this $1,200 deposit, being part of my cash receipts between deposits of June 1 and 22. About the time of this payment, and, as near as I can fix the date, about the middle of June, and very soon after the payment of Matthews, I was opening my letter mail at the breakfast table, in accordance with my usual custom, and found an envelope within another envelope, postmarked New York. 1 On opening the inner envelope I found it contained a letter-written-by George W. Nesbit, congratulating me most cordially and warmly on my nomination for the VicePresidency, and saying that the writer desired me to accept, confidentially, the remittance Inclosed to aid mein the heavy expense of the canvass, but wished it kept quiet, as neither his family nor any one would ever know unless I told them. Inclosed in this was a greenback or a national bank note for SI,OOO. It was as gratifying as it was liberal, and, holding up the letter and the bill, I asked the attention of all my family to it. I then read them the letter. The fact of sending so large a bill by mail was. commented upon and mygratitude for the gift' was discussed, when Mr. Matthews remarked that It came in good time, referring to the appeal of the Chairman of the Indiana Republican Committee for money to aid,in; arrangements for the canvass, already lu‘ active progress. The bill was passed around, from hand to hand, and examined. I am sure I deposited it with the S2OO I had reeelred from Mr. Matthews, and a draft for tbe exact amount of this remittance, and th exact accordance with the donor’s wish, and exactly as discussed at my table at the time, was sent at once to the Chairman of the Republican Committee at Indianapolis. Fortunately this does not rest on my own testimony alone. Living witnesses will tell

the committee that they rememher 7 the receipt of this hill and the contents of th* letter In which it was Inclosed, and that It was at once dl-cu«*ed how it could he used tocarrvout Nesbit’s desire, and the draft presented and sworn to hv the cashier of the hawk, proven that th* very dav I deposited $1,200 tn hills T bought and remitted out of, my deposit * draft for *1,090 to the Chairman of tbe Indiana State Committee; that draft Inclosed was found In the hank here and laid before vonr committee the next, dav after I testified, promising to connect It with mv evidence. Mv family at the time consisted of'mother (since deceased) mv «tep-f*ther, Mr. Matthews. anti mv h*lf-Bl«ter, Mrs. Hollister, whose residence Is |n a distant town hevond the Rocky Mountains. T said It wait fortunate there were living witnesses to this besides mvaelf. for. hv another thorough examination of the accounts and papers of N»s’>lt, made hv his excenter at mv request (Nesbit having died the nex’ vear) no trace Is there found. H“ had carried out exactly what he wrote: that It was Intended to he confidential—unknown even to his family—and If It w->s revealed It would, have to be bv me. H» evidently sent In a bill the more surelv to accomplish the object. During the last eight or ten years the accumulation of my letters has been so extraordinary that It has been my regular habit to destroy fully •nine-tenths of them; those, that are not destroyed are not filed, hn* kept In their envel opes until they crowd my drawers and tables, and are then tied up, hut not chronicled, to he stowed away wherever room for them can be found; Indeed, Mr. Chauncev, of the House, employed after T had left that wl"g of the Capitol, for the Senate wing. In 1869; happened to find a box full of old lette-a thus tied up, the loss of which I had entirely overlooked ; I have cone three times overall the letters I have preserved, and have not found this letter nor my political letters for June; the acknowlcogment of this draft for SI,OOO sent to Indiana cannot" be found, though fortunately the bink was able to findthe draft Itself; the letter accompanying the three checks deposited June 22 has also been destroyed, so that I am unable to produce either of the five letters relating to transactions of that day. I remember distinctly that, after mv nomination my mails increased enormously, amounting to fifty, if not sometimes one hundred letters per day, and their preservation seemed so Impossible, I remember, as others do, more than once almost filling a waste basket with fragments of destroyed letter s . But, as I said, there are living witnesses here to prove that I received at that time this *I,OOO bill—one of them having made a three thousand mile ride alone to tell this committee her recollection of it. When mv bank account was examlned here CTFeaskler waß asked what the $46.000 foot ing m eant. an d he repl led to the question that it was the amount of debts and credits when the accounts were finally balanced. It was telegraphed to the New York Tribune that night that the books showed that I deposited $45,000 in one year! and the inference, of course, was that I could, therefore, easily have forgotten $1,200. As my general accounts have thus been made the subject of discussion, and as I have no secrets in regard to themrTYeeldtmv right now to correct this misstatement. This total was fordhree-yeawi. not one year, namely, from December,’ 1865, to October, 1868, inclusive, and embraced besides other cash accounts, changes made in my investmentq, the avails of a laborious life, and which changes were mainly on advice of valued friends in New York and the West. On the debtor side are purchases of $5,000 seven-thirties of the bank, between December, 1865, and April. 1866, mainly front' receipts for lecturing; one share of New York Tribune stock. $6,000, in January, 1857; a present of SI,OOO in the early part of 1867, to my mother, then an Inmate of my family; an investment of $5,000 in bonds of the Pennsylvania Steel Company; a house and lot in South Bend, near the’posl-offlce, which I am glad to state iw worth now- nearly double, the $2,200 I paid for it; a’loan of $455 to Mr. Matthews, as stated; an investment of $5,000 in the Wesler Rolling Mills, and the payment of $1,750 to Mr.’ Rickston Burroughs for money borrowed of him; this amounts to $-K)(000 out of s4s.ooo~transacti6ns three years; the deposits on the credit side that enabled me to pay these amounts were as follows: During these years I was lecturing on my stage-coach ride of 1865 across the continent during November, in the holiday recess, receiving from SIOO to S2OO per lecture; I received in all over $12,000 from this source, of which I estimate about SIO,OOO was deposited here; I sold the $5,000 in 7-80». and also sold the Tribune share for $6,100, and Matthews returned $455 he owed me; beside these items I sold sixty-two shares of Adams Express stock at 72,V. and a lot of second mortgage bonds of the Alton Jt Terre Haute Railroad for $4,950, making about s3l,ooo’ln all, which offsets the $30,000 in inyestnqents charged against them. Of course the'Committee understand that in the bank accounts where changes of investments are made the same money alters the figures three or four times over. Thus I deposited my lecturing money; bought seven-thirties, sold them at an advance, and used the proceeds for another investment. I bought a Tribune share mainly out of similar receipts, sold it at an advance, and again used the proceeds. A large part of the money I drew from the Sergeant-at-Arms for my salary was deposited lu the bank, as I paid my housekeeping expenses there. It has taken all my dividends, besides my salary to pay my expenses for the past half dozen years, and hence my willingness to follow the counsel of better financiers than myself in investments and changes of investments. Ip answer to questions by Judge Poland, Mr. Colfax testified that he thought he received the SI,OOO the day after he received the money from Matthews. When the witness told Ames that he (Colfax) must be Out of it, Ames put his hand in his pocket, took out a small coin, and, offering it to the witness, said: “Consider that I have bought it back.” The witness always had great repugnance to lawsuits, and drew out of the Cred-it-Mobilier for that reason. He would have been glad to get out of tbe CreditMobiligr at the cost of twice the sum he paid Ames. He received the SI,OOO from Nesbit aboig, the middle of the month succeeding the nomination. If he had received the SI,OOO from New York and $1,200 from Ames also, he would have deposited both of them. Sir j _ ‘ ‘ ’ ———

Fruit Preparation.

Many kinds of fruit assort well with dried apples—firet of all, canned quinces. If not cooked very tender in canning, they can be interlaid with th?.dried apple in preparing them to stew, say in equal quantities, or one-third quince. Add the sugar to the quince as it is put in, and cooked as already directed untjl tender. This improves by keeping a day or two. Dried or canned rhubarb, cherries, peaches, canned green grapes, cranberries, lemon-pulp'and raisins are also good with appteft ' Lemetbrind should- never be used, on account Jor the acrid oil. Raisins need stewing much longer than most apples. Valencias an hour in all, and Malagas and Muscatels an hour and a half. This rule it is well to remember in using raisins for any purpose. It makes them both richer and more digestible. The previous partial cooking before putting them into other dishes is called “blanching" in cookety parlance. Raisins, when thus well Cooked, make with lemons a rich and showy dish. Pare the lemons three to a pound of raisins, cut them in thin rings, and cook them with raisins for the last half hour, sweeA ening to the taste. If apples are spoiling faster than they can be used, put them up in cans already emptied of other fruit—though for most purposes they are better fresh, as, for example, in plain rice pudding. Take, for this one part washed rice and three parts apple, dressed and chopped into quarter pieces. Place a half inch layer of : the latter in the bottom of a pipkin or earthern jar, then scatter in rice, notquite enough to hide 'the apples, and so on, making them spend alike;, then pour on two part s water, or enough tb fill the mixture; cover close and bake, in a medium oven an hour and a quarter, or one hour after it begins to boil. It can be cooked on the top of the stove, but is liable to burn. Dish in saucers, and sprinkle sugar over it While het, dr dress with sweetened cream or milk; Serve fvarm. This is very but good.— sdenct of Health.

Nothing more is necessary than to dig up the trees in autumn and plant them in a cellar; the repetition of this process soon forming a mass of fibrous roots, rendering their removal a matter of entire safety, at the same time that it induces fruitfulness. ” —ln answer to an inquiry as to what causes hair balls in cattle, the Cincinnati Times says: They seem to originate from a disordered and irritable’ condition of the digestive organs. This causes animals -to Jink themselves, and the wool or hair which is thus carried into the stomach is formed by the movements of that organ into a ball, which continues to increase in size in proportion as fresh hair or wool is carried into the stomach. It does not often cause death, and we have never yet found any medicine to remove them. —Never fill a stove more than half or two-thirds full of hard coal, even in the coldest weather. When the fire is low, never shake the grate or _disturb_the ashes, but add from ten to fifteen lumps of coal and set the draft on. When these are heated through and somewhat ignited add the amount necessary for a new fire, but do not disturb the ashes yet. Let the draft be open half an hour. Then shake out the ashes. The coal has thoroughly ignited, and will keep the stove at a high lieat from six to twelve hours, according to the coldness of the weather. In very cold weather, after the fire is made, add coal every hour. — Coal Gazette. —Fence posts, if allowed to become thoroughly seasoned before set into the ground, will be more than twice as durable, and seasoned post? may be made to last an age by the application of a heavy coat of coal tar to the portions buried in the earth and a few inches above the surface of the ground. Some recommend seasoning the post well before setting it, and when the post-hole is filled within ten inches of the surface of the ground, to apply a heavy coat of tar and fill up with earth. • Owing to the fact that fence posts always decay first -near the surface of the ground, it is not necessary to protect the post more than a few inches above the surface and a foot below it.— Rural American. —Rose Cuttings.—Max Klose, an experienced gardener, says: “Instead of throwing my prunings away this spring, 1 used them as cuttings, putting a whole lot of them, about a dozen or mord, in a marmalade jar filled with coarse sand and water, with sufficient of the latter to be about a quarter of an inch or so above the sand. I then pluuged the jar in a slight hot bed, and lei the cuttings have all the light and sun possible—never shading once. After eight weeks I examined the jars and found the roots to fill them, and the shoots to be in the healthiest condition. Nothing could be more so. Out of about 120 cuttings of some three dozen different kinds of roses, I only missed striking fifteen, which 1 think is a very encouraging result.”— Cincinnati 1 imes. —To Restore Scratched Furniture.— Scrape one pound of beeswax into shavings in a pan; add half a gallon of spirits of turpentine and one pint of linseed oil. Let it remain twelve hours, then stir it well with a stick into a liquid; while stiiring add one quarter pound shellac varnish and one ounce alkanet root. Put this mixture into a gallon jar and stand it before the fire or in an oven, for a week (to keep it just warm); shake it up three or four times a day. Then strain it through a hair sieve and bottle it. Pour about a teaspoonful on a wad or baize; go lightly over the face and other parts of mahogany furniture; then rub briskly with a similar dry wad, and in three minutes it will produce a dark brilliant polish unequaled. Another preparation may be made as follows: Make a mixture of three parts linseed oil and one part spirits of turpentine. It not only covers the disfigured surface, but restores wood to its original color, and leaves a lustre upon the surface. Put on with a woolen cloth, and when dry rub with woolen.

Winter Butter Making.

A farmer’s wife thus gives, in the Rural New Fdrker, the result of twenty-two years’ experience: Commence to heat the milk when the cows are first given corn-fodder, which I manage in this way:-Strain the milk in tin pans, filling only half full —a little more or less will make no difference; then, as soon as convenient, set the pans of milk on stove, where let then\ remain until a roughness or wrinkled appearance on the top of the milk is noticed (if Ihe milk gets too hot the only harm will be less cream,) then take it in the milk room or cellar, into a cool' place until next morning, when bring it up in a warm room and let it stand until the next day, whenitTs geheratryread}’ tdskim.Whe-n treated in this way it will not do to skim much under forty-eight hours. My plan is to skim morning and night’s milking, both, at the same time in winter. It does not hurt butter for the cream to sour—rather aids in churning, making butter come sooner. The cream-kettle I keep in the cellar until the day or evening before I wish to churn; then, if convenient, set near a coal stove or one that fire is kept in all night. In the morning, before churning, try with a thermometer;it should be at a temperature of 62°. If not convenient to set the cream near a warm stove, setting the kettle in hot water will answer every purpose. —■ — Many object to heating the milk because the milk sometimes burns to the bottom of the pans. Set pans with water on the stove, and place tbe pans with milk in these, and the difficulty is at once avoided, 4 Ban Francisco challenges New York or any other place to a count of murderers in proportion to population.

We would say tothese that there is now a remedy that as yet has never failed of curing those diseases. It acts Upon an entirely different principle from anything ever 'offered for them; it throws humor out of the blood through the skin, which is the only channel through which the system can be entirely freed from them.

Editorial Opinions.—An advertisement is, as a general rule, an elaborate eulogium on the merit of something which the advertiser desires to sell. The editors and publishers of the paper in which it appears are not responsible for its statements. Sometimes, however, highly important discoveries or inventions, announced to the world through the business department of the press, seem to demand a few words of editorial commendation. We have no hesitation in saying that the excellent medicine introduced by Dr. Joseph Walker, of California, under the name of Vinegar Bitters, belongs to this category, and has a just claim to a favorable notice. There can be no-doubt as to its utility as a tonic, stomachic and alterative. We are cognizant of niany instances in which it has cured cases of chronic dyspepsia, supposed to be incurable,And know that the estimation in which it is held as a remedy for bilious and nervous disorders, intermittent and remittent fevers, rheumatism and general debility, is founded on experience and well deserved. The testimony of “a cloud of witnessess” goes to show that it is eminently useful in a large majority of the disorders to which the human family are subject. The fact that it contains no al cohol commends it to the confidence of that large and increasing class ot thecom“ munity who insist that all spirituous stimulants are active poisons. It is now generally admitted by honest physicians, that when once the consumption is fairly fastened upon the lungs, no human power can save the patient from death.

A Dauserouß Atmosphere. The great atmospheric wave which, the meteorologists tell us, sweeps over the whole United States f rom the Pacltlc coast at this season, is loaded with un-.-wholesome vapors that chill the body and disturb all its functions. Perspiration Is checked, the stomach Is deranged, the bowels and the liver sympathize with that organ, the nerves and muscles are affected, pulmonary complaints are. engendered, and the spirits are more or less depressed. These are among the common effects produced by the moist, tuigenlal winds prevalent in the winter mouths. But If the system Is toned and fortified In advance with Hostetter's Stem- ■ ach Bitters, no danger need be apprehended from any condition of the atmosphere. The “ ill wind that blows nobody any good ” will not be likely tq blow any harm to him who strengthens and regulates his internal organs with this wholesome vegetable tonic and alterative, and clothes Ills outside In a manner suitable to the season. The seeds of fever and ague and other diseases of an intermittent or remittent type are now in the air, and are liable to be planted in the system, to germinate and bring forth bitter fruit, either Immediately or at a later period, unless due sanitary precautions' are. taken to ward them off. Of all safeguards against malaria, this famous vegetable antidote Is the best; and of all remedies for tJie painful ailments caused by damp cold,jihd sudden changes of temperature, such as rheumatism chills, irregularities of the bowels bilious attacks and indigestion, it is tbe most reliable and the most agreeable.

AlldAMiirjlliiiri VTiiegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink, nade of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Liquors, doc.ored, spiced, «}nd sweetened to please the taste,,called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” &c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of California, free from al! Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Pnilcipte, a Perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the S . stem, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring th' blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing a I invigorating both mind and body. They are easy o! administration, prompt in their action, certain in their re- ffts, safe and reliable in all forms of disease. Au Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided t) ir bones are not destroyed by min era k poison or othei means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of itipair. Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache, Pain hi the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Diz■ciness. Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the U art, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of tile Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, art- the offsprings of Dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guarantee of.its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Fur Female Complaints, m young or old, n> n t ied or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or :he t> 'i of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decideu au ii that a marked improvement is soon perceptiC’ie.' i'or Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism awd Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, ©ijip.us, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Biood, Li ver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have b en most successful. Such Diseases are caused by , Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Digestive Organs. They are a Gentle Purgative as w€ll aa a Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent m relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious Diseases. Por Skin Diacnsea, Eruptions, Tetter, SaltRheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, ScaM-Head, Sore Eyesj—Erysipelas, I tch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skiu, Humorsand Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name ov _ naturc, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these- Bitters. Otie bottle in such cases will convihce’the most incredulous of their curative effects. ; Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health-of the system will follow. ./Grateful thousand* proclaim Vinkgak Bitters the inostwonderfullnvigoraut that ever sustained the sinking system. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurkmg in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed Says a distinguished physiologist: There is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is riot upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No system of Medicine, rid yermtfuges, no anthehninitics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters., Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged in Paints ana Minerals t such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Geld-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, will be subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters once or twice a week, as a Preventive. . Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent Fe'vcrs, which are so prevalent in the, vaHeys of our great rivers throughout the Upited States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas; Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout o,ur entire .country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. There are always more or less obstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state of the stomach, and great topjx>r of the bowels, being clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various Organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’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 ol the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Scrofiila, or King's Evil, White Swelling. Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, Scrofulous inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore, Eyes, etc., etif. In these, as in ail other constitutional Diseases, Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers iii the most obstinate and i n tract - ; »ble cases. Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters 4Ct on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure is effected. The properties of D,r. Walker’s Vinegas Bittess are Aperient, Diaphoretic and Carminative, Nutrtious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irri-tant, Sudorinc, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. The Aperient and mild Laxative properties of Dr. Walter’s Vinegar Bitters are the best safeguard in air cases of«eruptions and malignant fevers, their balsamic, healing, and soothing properties protect the humors of the Their Sedative properties allay pain in the nervous system, stomach, and bowels, either t from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, eta Their Counter.-Indiant influence extends throughout the system.
