Since the massacre which was made
by Indians at Fort Phil. Kesrney. we
have heard q dozen different statements
as to the exact locality ofthat Fort. But
few of them give the place its proper "Io-
cal habitation." Fort Philip Kesrney
is situated 237 miles northwest from Fl

Virginia City. Montana. This ronte
possesses the advantage Of being $50

A WORD TO CoNvALEscEErs.-Espec-
ial care should be given to the diet. take
light food and but little at time. Great
care should be taken not to take anything
indigestible into the stomach.
Many persons when recovering from
fevers havs craving appetites, and not
unfrequently. through the over attentions
of the nurse. mix together in the stomach
the most iucongruous articles of food;
others. again. recovering from disease.
have no appetite at all, and need some
gentle tonic and stimulsnt to assist the
internal organs of the body to perform
their regular functions. To such we cay
procure Ro6ack's Stomach Biters. Com

water, and as the strength returns. in
crease the dose, and continue them until
