A MYSTERY.
How the human system ever recovers from
the bad effects of the nauseous medicines of
ten literally poured into it for the supposi
tive relief of dyspepsia, liver complaint, con
stipation, rheumatism and other ailments,
is a mystery. The mischief done by bad
medicines is scarcely less than that caused
by disease. If they who are weak, billious,
dyspeptic, constipated or rheumatic, would
oftener be guided by the experience of inva
lids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's
Stomaah Bitters, they would in every in
stance obtain the speediest aid derivable
from rational medication. This medicine is
a searching and at the same time a thorough
ly safe remedy, derived from vegetable
sources, and possessing, iu consequence of its
basis of pure apirits, properties as a medici
nal stimulant not to be found in the fiery lo
cal bitters and stimulants often resorted to
by the debilitated, dyspeptic and languid

lowed about from pillowjto post, and ever
lastingly and overwhelmingly tore up jack,
andrattied us generally we had that tooth
emphatically . and hilaricouslv extracted
with the accent on the "phat." After the
exercises Dr. Wells brought out a neat in
vention, the contrivance of his own seuius
consisting of a combination of aluminum and
rubber plate for the teeth. This invention
is a philosophic, uon-breakablo simplicity,
aud it is certainly a very great improvement
on the present usages. Anyone can under
stand the arrangement, and it is sure to
merit favorable consideration. Aluminum
is more durable than steel, aud the doctor's
thinker hath not thinketh in Vain in devis
ing this valuable method.

Will Build no More Lines. The
Southern Pacific railroad company, it is
stated by the dispatches, has recently made
arrangements to formally absorb all the nar
row gauge roads which have been operating
in Oregon and Washington. In order to do
this the company was formed to look after
the interests of the Southern Pacific branch
es in the northwest, and articles of incor
poration of the California & Oregon Rail
road Company were liled recently in Salem.
The filings of these articles gave rise to the
sensational rumors that the Southern Pa
cific was about to indulge in extensive road
building in Oregon aud the surrounding
country. But this report is now officially
denied, and the company has no intention of
building any more roads soon in Oregon or
Washington. This puts a damper on our
extension prospects on the west side, for the
present at least, aud we will have to only
await the Southern Pacific company's own
pleasure for activity iu the future.

ADULTERATIONS JN FOOD.', ,.
Many States have stringent laws against,,
food adulteration, but they fail to check the.
evil. It is on the increase,' The last report
of the Dairy Commissioner of New r Jersey-
shows that 43.96 per cent., or uearl half,'of(
all the tood preparations submitted to htm,
for examination were adulterated. Some
times the adulterations were harmless and ins.
these cases the purchaser would be only
swindled, but in many instances rank poisons
were fouud in articles of every day con
sumption. A large perceutage of canned
vegetables, such as peas and string beans,,
were found to contain copperas, used togive
a green color, and a number of baking pow.f
ders had been "doctored" with ammonia to
give an artificial leavening strength and to
permit of their carrying mora waste matter.
In these cases there is not only fraud but
danger to the public health. N. Y.
