Mental depression isa disease OF the nervous
system, and of all the ills flesh is heir to- it is the
one that excites the least sympathy. 1t is sub
ject offrequent jess, and is called by various de
risve terms but although it is often laughed at
it Is not easy to laugh the patient out Of the belief
that his ills all real, Tor il is reot djsorder
the general features of which are constant fear,
anxiety and gloom. The external senses, as well
the mental facilities often manifest symptoms
Of arrangements. Noise as Of falling water, and
ringing in the cars are complained Of, while
black specks and fiery sparks frequently fit be-
fore the vision. Admonitions like these should
not be disregarped, as they may, if neglected,
terminate in insanity. The seat of the disease is
in the brain and nervous system, and t. control
the maadp it is necessary to use powerful ton
ic and Alternative which will correct and tone
those organs without ini1aming the BRAIN This
is the secret of the success Of H0STETTER S

which it is the safest we'll as the best of restor-

the newspapers, but the sufferer had better let
them alone. HOSTETTERS STOMACH BIT

\ RING ARCU ID THE Sun
Thousands of our citizens turned
their eyes heavenward vest terday,
as the sun approached the meridian,
TO watch the luminous circle which
eucircled the central body of our
planetary system. The cause of this
rather unusual solar ring gave rise
to variety of comment, more or
less vague. Some skilled i'll such
matters regarded it as belt of fog
which had been formed by the at
traction Of the sun, and some stated
that it indicated the approach of ~
rtorm. As the sun is some ninety
six millions of miles distant from
the earth, it was impossible TO dis
patch even our balloonist TO the
scene OF action. One broker on
state street thought it was a golden
ring, and indicated the continuance
of an easy money market. Time
