The Way Made Clear.

One of the most serious obstacles to success in the way of man is planted right in the middle of the road to health. How to restore and tp maintain a regular habit of body and digestion is too often a source of needless a>.d i unhappily, of vain inquiry. It is not necessary to inveigh against drastic purgatives. They who have used them continuously know the consequence. A remedy which unites the actfbn of a regulating medicine for the bowels with that of a tonlc'both for those organs, the liver and the stomach, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, sanctioned by the best medical authority, and receiving daily the indorsement of our fellowcountrymen. With this effectual, though gentle, laxative at hand, it is possible to defy those changes of temperature productive of coustlpatjon, as well as constitutional attacks of biliousness, which beset even people naturally healthy. Malaria, dyspepsia, rheumatism, and kidney troubles are remedied and prevented by the Bitters. It is asserted by men of high professional ability that when the system needs a stimulant nothing equals a cup of fresh coffee. Those who desire to rescue the dipsomaniac from his cups will find no better substitute for spirits than strong, newly made coffee without milk or sugar. Two ouuccs of coffee, or oneeighth of a pound, to one pint of boiling water, makes a first-class beverage, but the water must be boiling, not merely hot. It is asserted that malaria and Epidemics are avoided by those who drink a cup of hot coffee before venturing into the morning air. Burned on hot coals coffee is a disinfectant for a sick room, and by some of the best physicians it is considered a specific in typhoid fever. At one time Gen. Custer tamed a tiny field mouse, and kept it in a large, empty inkstand on his desk, It grew very fond him and ran over his head and shoulders and even through his hair.
