She was then ; "and had been since her infancy, blind in ber left eye. She at once commenced to wash her face and bathe her eye in the water and sediment of the Springs. She can now begin to discern objects at a distance. This is something remarkable. Tbe clearness of her sight continues to improve and in a short timo she expeots to see clearly. THB TECS WAV TO INYIGORATK Tbe true way to invigorate a feeble system is to infuse activity into the oper ations of the stomach, that wondrous alembic in which the food is transmuted into the constituents of blood, the chief element of our vitality. Hostetter's Sto mach Bitters, beouuse it accomplishes thia end, is greatly to be preferred to many eo-called tonic*, useful indeed as appetizers, but inoperative as aids to di gestion and assimilation. This sterling o >rdial, while it invigorates the stomach, "healthfully stimulates the liver, bowels, and kidneys, ensuring the escape through the regular ohanncls of effete and useless matter thrown off by the syßtem, which is thus purified as well as invigorated by it. Its tonio influence ia soon made manifest by an increase ot vital energy and a more aotive and regular discharge of every physioal function, and it has the further effeot of rendering the sys tem unassailable by malarial epidemics A $340 OROAH FOB sßs. Mr. Daniel K. Beatty, of Washington, N. J., appears to be determined that all who care to have parlor organs can get them, for be will sell during a limited period an instru ment whicu it is said is equal in every way to the kind nsually sold for #B4O, for the very much reduced price of SBS. IT this invita tion to the public from Mr. Beatty ia respon ded to in the spirit that It is made, every hamlet in the land will very soon have in it a musical advertisement of the New Jersey Or gan Builder. Mr. Beatty has recently made an extended tour through Europe, and he expresses himself con6dent of having learned many things that will profit the purchasers of the organs he proposes to sell at one-quar ter the price usually obtained for n handsome instrument of the class to which bis belong. It had as well be borne in mind by those considering the offer that it is only for a limi ted period, aud the low price is to induce people to buy the organ in order that the manufacturer may show to tbe public tbe peculiar excellence which be claims it to possess.
