Constitutional Weakness.

1T il great thing to have a sound and Wig
orous constitution. There is nothing TINT
money can buy, comparable In value to this
best gift of nature. The difference between
the individual who has it, and the unfortunate
who has it not, is just the difference between
the man who goes into battle clothed In dcfen-
sivc armOr, and one who has nothing to oppose
to the sword and bullet but his naked breast.
." Pestilence that walkcth in darkness, the
sick ness that destroyeth at MONDAY" while It
lays low tho man OF feeble stamina, 10 often
conquered Ivy the native strength Ofwhat Ia
called an '' iron constitution
Heaven, however. has not endowed cvsn a
moicty Of mankind with this incstimablc bless
ing, and therefore il bchOovcs those who have
it not to resort to those most efficient means OF
constitutional IMMIGRATION which science can
supply There Is good warrant for asserting
that lfostettcr's Bitters are admirably adapted
TO promote this end. Other tonics have their
drawbacks. The concentrated extract OF poi
sonous vegetable substances, which within the
last few yeurs have been introduced iut0 the
practice Of medicine as invigorants, are I'LL ex-
tren,cly dangerous. Prussic acid and strych-
nine, though often givenas strengthening med
icincs, are not sefs even In the diminutive dos.
ca; and qaininc disastrUusly effects the nerves
and bones. But in IIostettcr's Bitters there ID
positively nothing that is not hcalthful and
wholesome. They contain no ingredient which
hy any process could be converted into an ac-
tive poison, aud yet Us q constitutional stimu-
lent arc infinitely preferable to any OF the
sulphatcs and acctntcs which have been re.
Gently added to the matcr'a mef'ca.

INCREASE YOUR BUSINESS The shrewd,
thorough going American business man never
can have too much profitable business to do; ;
what he cannot do in person can be done by
others under his personal supervision. If five
ten or twenty per cent profit is made on every
hundred dollars worth Of work turned out or
goods sold, the object Of carrying on business
is sooner accomplished by doing five thousand
dollars worth week or a month than only one
thousand dollars worth, even though the per
centage of profit is somewhat reduced. A man
who affords employment 20 a thousand men is
a more useful member of the community than
the cobbler who sits and pegs away by himself
on his bench with all that he can do already.
If man once gives up his ambition to rise and
make money asrapidly as enterprise and indus,
try can secure it, the chances are that he will
be unable to hold his own, and will fall behind
hand.
