Men and Women in Life’s Prime

Who rise unrefreshed, feel languid through the day, have little appetite, and whose faces exhibit a sallow tint, are on the short route to the grave. Unless they can effect a radical change in their condition they will not reach old age. Invigoration is the only means of their physical salvation. Upon Hostetter's Stomach Bitters they can rely to furnish them with the stamina, which is a prerequisite of health, and to remove that prime cause of continued debility, indigestion and non-assimilation of the food. We class these causes as one, since they are joint functions of one organ, the stomach, chiefly. Built up and rehabilitated with this superb restorative of vigor, the system may bid defiance to malaria, rheumatism, bladder and kidney diseases, and other maladies prone to attack the enfeebled. The Bitters not only affords a safeguard against disease of a virulent type, hut effects a- prompt reform in the condition of a drowsy or disordered liver and irregular bowels. Miss Hannah More, a celebrated writer, who died about fifty years ago, had a good way of managing tale-bear-ers. It is said that when she was told anything derogatory of another, her invariable reply was: “Come, we will go and ask if it be true.” The effect was sometimes ludicrously painful. The tale-bearer was taken aback, stammered out a qualification, or bdgged that no notice be taken of the statement; but the good lady was inexoraable; off she took the scandal-monger to the scandalized, to make inquiry and compare accounts. It is not likely that anybody ever ventured to repeat a gossipy story to Hannah More. One would think her method of treatment would be a sure cure for scandal.

Architect Edmond Legendre, 419 Sutter street., San Francisco, Cal., states that having suffered for a long time with a severe congh, and, failing to obtain any relief from doctors and the numerous preparations he took, he became alarmed. Tried Red Star Cough Cure, and one bottle entirely cured him. Even cultivated people are subject to excesses. Ten years ago the intellect of the world was bewitched with materialism. Now it is equally attracted by telegraphy and the like. Soon it will be something else. Intellectual fashions change as often as women’s dresses. The total annual shipments of dried shrimps and other marine products prepared as food or fish manure by the Chinese on the California coast and sent to China is valued at $3,132,000. Mr. Ed P. Weeds, Thetis P. 0., Stevens 00., Wash. Terr., was entirely cured of rheumatism by the use of St. Jacobs Oil. He says: “I consider it a wonderful remedy and will always speak a good word for it.”
