A Chronic Tendency Overcome.

Many persons are troubled with a chronic tendency to constipation. They are of bilious temperament. The complaint to which they are subject, though easily remediable by judicious treatment, is, in many cases, aggravated by a resort to drastic purgatives and cholagogues. As the human stomach and bowels are lined with a delicate membrane, and not with vulcanite, they cannot stand prolonged drenching with such medicines without serious injury. Nothing restores and counteracts an habitual tendency to constipation so effectually as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Its laxative effect is gentle and progressive. It neither convulses nor weakens the intestines, and its effects are unaccompanied by griping pains. It arouses the liver when the organ is sluggish, promotes digestion, and encourages appetite and sleep. For fever and ague, kidnoy troubles, nervous complaints, and incipient rheumatism, it is incomparable. Take a wineglass oefore meals and see how soon you will relish them. This question has been repeated, “Where is the girl of the past?” and we feel constrained to answer it. She is in a cosy little brown-stone front up-town, the nigbt-key of which is in our immediate possession, where she is looking after the welfare ot a stepladder of babies. —Puck. “We all have our burdens to bear,” said the minister. “There are many trials in this life.” “Yes, I suppose there are, ” said the poor lawyer, ruefully; “but I don’t seem to have much luck at getting mixed up in ’em.” The man who robs Peter to pay Paul should at least remember what is Deuteronomy.— Texas Siftings.
