A Good Move.
The Common Council, at their regular
meeting last Monday evening, directed
that two hundred dollars should be ex
pended under the direction of the street
commissioner on the road leading toward
Ilolcomb's, outside of the city limits, and
a like amount on the road leading past
Ijatourette's. This action of the Council
is greatly to be commended, and we hope
will be appreciated ov the outlying coun
try. It is only by bettering the roads lead
ing to the city that we can hope to attract
farmers in this direction, and thereby
benefit the commerce of the city. iX'e
ought to receive 50,NH bushels of grain
here this fall, and this action on the part
of the City Council will be an important
factor in achieving this result. XX'e can
afiord to let our side streets and alleysfgo
a little unkempt in the more laudable ef
fort of improving the roads leading to the
city.

Itt-jf ular Secretion Etsentlal to Health.
The regular secretion and flow of the gastric
juices, and of the bile which the use of Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters promotes, are effects
which conduce materially to the restoration
of health, when the system is disordered.
Food is not digested in the dyspeptic stomach
because the gastric fluid is deficient, supera
bundant or vitiated; the liver becomes con
gested and the bowels constipated because the
supply of bile is inadep.iate or misdirected.
The Hitters rectifies all this, and removes every
ill consequence of non-assimilation and bil
ious irregularity. Furthermore, it stimulates
the act ion of the kidneys, by which impuri
ties ar. so to speak, strained from the blood,
and any tendency in the urinary organs to
trrow sluggish and disordered counteracted.
Whether it be used as a means of regulating
gastric or bilious secretion, and relieving tWe
overloaded bowels, or to promote complete,
and therefore healthful, urination Hosteller's
Bitters may be relied upon with confidence to
accomplish the end in view.

Peruvian Syrup.
Crooks, Me., Sept. 7, 1870.
Doar Sir From early youth I was in feeble
health, troubled with hnmor in my blood,
weakness and debility of the system gener
ally ; was unable to labor much, and only at
some light, business, and then only with great
caution. Seven years ago, the past spring, I
had a severe attack of liiptheria which left
my limbs paralyzed and useless, so I was un
able to wal k or even sit up. Noticing the ad
vertisement of I'kruvian Syrup, I concluded
to give it a trial, and to my great joy soon
found my health improving. I continued the
us" of the syrup until three bottles hud been
used, and was restored to complete health,
and have remained so to thisday. I attribute
my present state of health to the use of PKitr
vian SVRUP, and hold it in high estimation. I
cannot speak too highly in its praie. 1 have
in several cases recommended it in cases
similar to my own with the same good re
sults. Yours truly, Chas. K. I'f.arcy.
