DYsPEPsIA.-There are but few who
do not at some time experience the I'M
pleasant effect of temporary indigestion,
such as a sense of fullness, weight and
uneasiness of the stomach, foul tongue.
bitterness in the mouth, nausea. sick
headache, &c, &c. All such feelings
are evidence of approaching dyspepsia,
which should always be checked and cur
ed by the use of Hostetter's Stomach
B~itters, which are known to be an in
fallible remedy for all such complaints.
To this thousands will testify who have
tried them and proved the facts. Hos

cipal druggists and dealers generally.

Hints for the Home Circle.
SoLACE FOR THE SICK.

Science would lack the grand charm
that sheds a halo over its labors, if the
gentler sex were not made participants
of the benefits it imparts. To that sex
the medical discoveries of the distin-
guished philanthropist Professor Hol-
loway, have been singularly beneficial.
For the complaints peculiar to the female
organization, and which are borne with
a fortitude rarely exhibited by man,
Holloway's Pills have been for twenty
years administered, with wonderful sue
cess. In those crises of woman's life,
the dawn of ~womanhood and the COM
mcncement of old age, as we'll as in the
innumerable cases requiring medical
assistance which occur between those
two important epochs, the mild and res
torative action of this great remedy is
attested by the strongest vouchers. Nor
is the Ointment less highly appreciated
as a remedy for the eruptions and other
external disfgurements which sometimes
cloud the beauty of woman.
1t is a terrible thing to see a beloved
wife or daughter languishing under the
attacks of disease; the lustre fading
from her eyes, the rose from her cheek,
and premature decrepitude prostrating
her energies in the morning of the prime
of life. Perhaps the inmates sensitive
ness and delicacy of her nature forbid
her to disclose the cause of the difficulty,
or if she seeks medical aid she finds little
or no relief from stereotyped prescrip-
tions. Furnished with Holloway's re-
NEEDLES she needs no professional adviser.
The directions acquaint her with the
manner of their use. In the quiet Sc
clusion of her W chamber she can be
physician to herself, and will soon learn,
rs millions have already learned, that
she has found the true ehrer rttde. As
the glow of health returns to her dim
med eyes, elasticity to her step, and
c~heerfullness to her heart, she will
realize in her own feelings all that has
been published of the experience of
others, who suffered as she has suffered
and have been restored by the same
means.
The subject is one on which it is
difficult to be explicit, without trench
ing upon what arc called the properties
of life but a sense of duty has impelled
us to glance at one of the most valuable
pcculiaritics of HollOway's remedies,
aud We feel assured that our motives
will be appreciated. ~. y. Sunday
