8 A spirometer man was doing good
business near the Detroit City Hall the
other day, the ten cents coming in as
fast as the people could blow. But at
length, o asable negress stepped up, de-
posted her dime on the box, and with her
: fair mouth on the tube, sent the pointer
once and Ia half around. This pleased
everybody wonderfully, and they felt
just as fanny half an hour afterward
when: the lung-man had to pack up for
other fields, failing to get another single
customer after the exhibition of lungs
OF his last patron. Clearly, they need a
fifteenth amendment out there.

HOW HOSTE TIERS BITTERs CURE
DYsPEPsIA-THE. WHOLE STORY IN A
NUT-SHELL.-The Office of the stomach is to
convert the food into a cream like semi flnid,
called chyme. This is Effected partly by the
action of a solvent, called. the gastric juice,
which exudes from the coating of the stomach
and partly by a mechanical movement of that
organ, which churns, as it were. the tlissulving
aliment. The chyme passes from the stomach
into the duodenum, or entrance to the bowels,
where it is subjected to the action Of the bile,
and the nutritious portion Of il, converted into
fluid called chylo, which e~ontuaily becomes
blood p 2 '.''., ur.ii,.
Now, it is evident that il the great solvent
thegastric juice, is not produced in sufficient
quantity, if the mechanical action of the sto-
mach is not sufficiently brisk the fl rst process
Of digestion will be but imperfectly performed
1t is also clear that il tho liver, which plays
such an important part in changing the nou-
rishng portion of the chyme into the material
OF the blood. is congested, or in any unnatural
condition, the second process will not be tho
roughly accomplished. Tho result of the two
failures ls dyspepsia, complicated with bilious
ness
The mode in which HOsTETTER's BIT
TER'S operate in such cases is this: They in
vigorate the cellular membrane of the sto-
mach, which evolves the gastric juice, thereby
insuring- an ample suf1iciency of the fluid to
complete dissolve the food. They Also act
upon the nerves of the stomach, causing an
acceleration OF the mechanical movement ne
cessary to reduce the food to a homogeneous
mass. They also act specifically npon the
liver, strengthening it, and 80 enabling it to
produce an ample and regular supply or bile,
for the purpose of converting the nutritious
particles of tho ohyme into chyle. and promote
the passage through the bowels Of the useless
debris - - y n .
" In this way. HosTETrERs BlTrERs cure
dyspepsia and liver complaint. The explana-
ton is plain, simple, philosophical and true.
