WHAT RUM WILL Do.-Somc years
ago, in one of the counties of New York
a worthy man was decoyed into IL
ccnsed tavern, and tempted to drink
until he was drunk. In the delirium
of drunkenness he went home and muir
dered his wife in the most shocking
manner. He was carried to the Jail
while drunk, and kept through the
night. Awaking in the morning and
looking around upon the walls, and
seeing the bars upon the windows, he
exclaimed:
as this a Jail ?"
"Ycs, you are Jail, " answered some
one.
"What am here tor ~ was the ear
nest inquiry.
"For murder - was the answer.
With still greater astonishment and
earnestness he inquired, Does my wife
know it ,"
"Your wife know it ?" said some one;
"why it was your wife you have killed. "
On this announcement, he dropped
suddenly as if he had been struck dead
Let it be remembered that the constable
who carried him to Jail sold him the IL
quor which caused his drunkenness
| the justice who issued the warrant was
one of those who osigned his license, and
the sheriff who hung him also sold IL
| quor and kept ten pin alley.

Az NATURE rs THE GREAT PHYsIC-


IAN.-This Is now admitted by the medical profes-
sion as fundamental principle of healing science
It is wisely provided by the human economy that
whenever anything is wrong in The physical system
the natural forces of the body are brought to bear
to expel the disease The great aim, therefore, is to
strengthen the natural powers. This has been kept
in view by the skilful compounders Of HOsTtT-
TIERS STOMACH BTTTERs, which operates to give
fresh vitality to all the organs Of the body. The
effect of this medicine upon the stomach, the liver
and the kidneys is prompt and decisive. The
patient, who is wise enough to quit drugging and
try the BITTERS, soon feels as if he had taken a
new lease of hfe and as he continues the Of the
article he is overoyed to find the streams of health
coursing through his frame. 1t is prepared with
great care, and its component parts are entirely
vegetable. 1t is free from the objections 80 often
urged against preparations of the kind. As MEDI-
CAL AGENT, it has no equ'l, while its pleasing
flavor and healthful effects have made 1t general
fayorite It is free from oil properties calculated to
impair the system, and its operations are ut once
mild, soothing and efficient. All who have used
HOsTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS attest its vir-
tues and commend 1t to use.
Even those who are in the enjoyment Of perfect
health frequently have need to have recourse to
tonics as preyentves OF disease. We are never too

be taken regularly without giving vitality and elas-
ticity to the system. 6 May 80
