Man Wants a Tonic

When there is a lack of elastic energy in tho system, shown by a sensation of languor and unrest in the morning, frequent yawning during the day, aud disturbed sleep at night. Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters infuses unwonted energy into the enfeebled and nervous, endowing them with muscular energy', an ability to repose healthfully and digest without inconvenience. Nervousness, hoadache, biliousness, fmpaired appetite, and a fSeble, troublesome stomach, are all and speedily Bet right by this matchless regulator and invigorant. The mineral poisons, among them strychnia and nux vomica, are never safe tonics, even in infinitesimal doses. The Bitters answers the purpose more effectually, and can be relied upon as perfectly safe by the most prudent. Fever and ague, kidney troubles and rheumatism yield to it. The recent voyage of the electric launch Volta across the British Chanj, nel, from Dover to Calais and back, w regarded as a scientific success far in advance of what was expected. The Volta is built of galvanized steel plates, and her deck is nearly on a level with the water. Below tho deck are placed the electric accumulators. These are little square boxes, about Bxl2 inches, and are wedged closely together to prevent shifting. The propelling power consists of sixty-one accumulators and a pair of Beckenzann accumulators, also placed beneath the floor, so that the whole of the boat is available for passenger accommodation. The power of the motors may be varied at will from four to twelve-horse power, while the screw propeller makes from six hundred to one thousand revolutions a minute. When the boat reached Calais it was found that the amount of electricity remaining in the accumulators warranted the return journey in being attempted. The speed reached was fourteen miles an hour, and so noiseless w r as the little vessel that in midchannel the pilot, observing a seagull asleep on the water, steered close to it, and one of those on board caught the bird by the neck and brought it alive to Dover.
