My hip sank in so that vou could lay your hand in the cavity, ana I could do no work for overone year.

A Haunted Hrtu This body ot ours has been likened to a tenement. It. often has a haunted apartment—the stomach. Scared by the eldrich sprite, dyspepsia, digestion flies and refuses to return. What can break the spell, what can r aise tho ban laid upon the unhappy organs'? We answer unhesitatingly, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, and we are warranted in the response by the recorded testimony of myriads, covering over a third of a century. A course ot tho Bitters, begun in any stage of the affliction, and persistently followed, will terminate in a cure positive, not partial. The Bitters restores tone tc the epigastric nerve, renews aud purifies the juices exuding from the cellular tissue that act. upon 1 lie food digestively, expels bile from the stomach and the blood, and promotes a regular habit of body. Malaria, kidney complaint, nervousness, rheumat ism and neuralgia give way to this medicine. Dr. J. G. Justin, a chemist of Syracuse, is the inventor of a large dynamite cartridge tint is soon to be made at Perryville, Madison County, N. Y., and no little interest is awakened in the experiment that will take place near Perryville some day next xveek. Dr. Justin has been trying to construct a shell by which any amount of dynamite may be fired from an ordinary cannon without danger of premature explosion. The shell he has prepared weighs ?50 pounds, is 42 inches in length and 9 inches in diameter. Many capitalists are interested in the experiment, and if the shell is a success it will doubtless supersede Lieut. Zalinski’s pneumatic gun. When the aummer’a rose lias faded, What shall make ii. fair again ? When the face with pain is shaded, What shall drive away the pain'?

It is terrible to contemplate the misery existing in our midst because of the prevalence ot these diseases. It is high time that all women should know that there is one sure remedy lor all female complaints, and that is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Do not allow ill-health to fasten itself upon you. Ward it oil' by the use of this standard remedy. But if it. has already crept in, put it to rout.
