Democratic Sentinel, Volume 13, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 July 1889 — Over the Pathless Ocean, [ARTICLE]

Over the Pathless Ocean,

Athwart vast continents traversed by mighty iron thoroughfares, many-armed like the fabled Briareus, myriads set forth dally to encounter the vicissitudes of travel, change of climate, unaccustomed food, and an atmosphere possibly miasmatic, yet with a calm confidence that their health will be preserved. When this confidence is based upon the possession of ths supreme medicinal defense, Host-ether's Stomach Bitters, it is indeed well founded, otherwise not. Brackish water, badfcod, the Vearying and other bad effects of railroad jolting, sea sickness and nervousness, aggravated by a journey and its attendant discomforts, are shorn of their pernicious influence by this sterling alterative, pacifier aud compensating medicine, invaluable lor dyspepsia, feebleness, nervousness, constipation, malarial disorders, rheumatism and kidney complaints. Durely —Wliat’s the matter; why do you make such frightful grimaces ? Dudely—These infernal shoes are too tight. Durely—Why don’t you get rid of them, then? Dudely (philosophically)—l don’t want to. They’re not exactly comfortable, you know, but then they help a fellow forget a whole lot of his other miseries.— Cincinnati Commercial.
