DO NOT TRIFLE WITH DANGER.

A single spark may Kindle fame that will
consume city, and small ailments neglected,
may end in fatal disorders Bearing this fact in
mind let the first symptoms of debility or ner-
vous prostration be met promptly with invlgora-
ting treatment Foremost among the vegetable
tonics of the age stands HOSTETTER'S ST0M-
ACH BITTERS, and whenever the vital powers
seem to languish, or there is any reason to sus-
pect that the animal functions essential to the sus-
tenation and publication of the body are imper-
fectly performed, this invaluable invigorant and
antiseptic should at once be resorted to. In
digestion always produces weakness of the bodily
powers Sometimes it happens that the appetite
demands more food than the stomach can digest;
though not more, perhaps, than is required to
keep up the full strength of the frame. The OBJ
iect, under such circumstances is to increase the
digestive capacity of the assimilating organs, so
as to rake it equal to the duty imposed upon it
by the appetite, and capable of supplying the
building material Of the system as fast as 1t Is re-
quired. This object is fully accomplished by the
use of the bitters. They tone and gently stlmu-
late the cellular membrane which secrets the gas
trio juice, and the result is that the solvent is
mingled with the food in sufficient quantity to con-
vert all its nourishing particles into pure and
wholesome element. If, on the other hand, there
is deficiency of appetite. without any cores
ponding deficiency of digestive power, the effect
of the tonic is to stimulate desire for food. In
nineteen cases out of twenty, headache nausea,
nervousness, fainting-fts, spasms, and, indeed,
most of the casual ACHES and pains to WHICH hui
mainly is subject, proceed primarily from ndiges-
tons complicated with biliousness; and for both
these complaints HOsTETTEES STOMACH BIT
TIERS are recommended as o speedy and certain
remedy.

FAMILY MEDICINE
The Pain Killer is, by universal consent, allow
ed to have won for itself reputation unsurpass-
| ed in the history of medicinal preparations
It's instantaneous effect in the entire eradication
and extinction of Pain, in all its various forms
incidental to the human family, and the unsolic-
ted written and verbal testimony of the masses
in its favor have been, and are, its own best
advertisement.
I For evidence in favor of the Pain Killer for
Minister'S Sore Throat or Bronchitis, read the
| following:
| GENrs.-The Pain Killer has been constant
occupant of our house for over two years, and a
portion of the time it has been the only medicine
| under our roof Hardly ever do have my chill
dren complain of being sick, without having
them ask in the same sentence for Pain Killer.
For several years hefare l became acquainted
with the Pain Killer, had suffered great deal
| from an affection in my throat, thought by some
physicians to be Bronchitis, by others to bewhat
iscaled Minister'S Sore Throat. At one time it was
so severe that was obliged to give up preach
ing. Within few months after I had become
! acquainted with the Pain Killer, had another
attack from that distressing complaint. l tried
my new-found medicine, and, to my establishment
and delight, it produced wonderfully soothing
effect. In short time was wholly relieved
Since that time have had . number of attacks
of the same nature, and the Pain Killer has al
ways afforded me relief About one year since,
my wife became subject to severe suffering from
Rheumatism our resort, was to the Pain Killer,
which would always relieve her.
have not time now to say more, as I could
with hearty good will, and always have done,
in praise of the Pain Killer. If this hastily
written letter, in commentator of Perry Davis
valuable medicine, will be of any service, you
are at liberty to do with 1t as you please.
Very truly yours,

A Tumor appeared in the right breast of Mrs
Elizabeth Kennedy of New Hope, Augusta county,
Va, about three years ago, which supposed
by some to be Cancer. The Physicians whom
she consulted, after careful examination, come
to the conclusion that such was not the character
of the disease but that it originated from some dis
eased action of the mich tubes of the breast Fin
ding no relief from the application of the remi-
dies prescribed, and the pain and enlargement of
the tumor daily increasing, and seriously affec-
ting her general health. she was induced by the
advice of friends to put herself under the care of
DR.. Mitchell Of West Va, who, after satisfying
himself in regard to the tumor, pronounced it a
