sxston,s ILI,In po.gra,

Persons often allow their systems to tim down. -
Or rather run then, dos01 by oYerwork accompanied
by neglect Of the proper means Of invigoFation.
The result is what is called GENERAL DEBILITY -
in other words failure and partial collapse of the
physical forces, accompanied, usually, by great
depression of spirits.
The best remedy in such cases is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Whether the state of exhaustion
has been brought on by excessive physical labor,
patton, anxiety of mind, exposure any other
cause, the remedial effect Of this great stomachic
Will be found equally prompt and certain. As a
restorative after sickness has Frustrated the
bodily and mental energies, 1t is pronounced by
competent medical authority, ''TEE BEST TONIC IN
USE" If men were not foolishIy careless about
their health, and over confdeCt in themselves,
they would always, when engaged IL any work that
required great exertion, use corresponding means
of sustaining their strength. For this purpose
Hostetter's Bitters are invaluable. al toilers
should use them as inyigorant.
For those constantly employed in indoor occupa-
items, especially i'll crowded workshops, they may
be reckoned as the very best safeguard Of health.
Where thore is predispostion to constipation, or
tendency to biliousness, they may be truly said
to be specific for VIII oh there is no substitute.

The Wonderful Diamond Fields CT South
kfF.icg

THE newly discovered diamond fields in
South Africa, if report be true, must near
" realize the marvels related in the cara |
ban Nights of Sinbad's enchanted val
lev. They are much moro alluring than
those of the story, as they are moresacces-
slble than the latter-which, the reader
will remember, in addition to being in
tested with numbers of the most venom
GUS serpents, were shut in by precipitous
mountains. But here we have real, bono
fde enchanted valley, so rich in gems that
for scores Of years to come, it is estimated,
5he precious store cen scarcely be ex-
hausted, and with no serpents worth men
tioning. At least We find none mentioned
in the published accounts, and infer that If
they exist, they have shown their proverbial
wisdom by declining to interfere with the
necessities of commerce. What is more
wonderful still, among tho hundreds Of
people gathered to this curious harvest
there is less fighting than diversifes pri-
mary election Or q trip to Coney Island.
For once, the dlTi SdcrG flames seems to
have failed in its wonted inspiration of
battle and blood There they dig peacefully
side by side, these patient husbandmen,
for such fruits as the earth has surely new
er yielded up since the plowshare first
vexed her patient bosom. IF one luckier
than his neighbors finds stone that might
serve for kings ransom. and makes him
at one stroke rich beyond his widest hopes,
the rest are animated by the sight, not to
malice and murder, but to more vigorous
exertions. 1T is like a picture Of the gold
en- age.
1t produces strange sensation to read
of these priceless jewels lying as thick as
pebbles on the ses-shore. Diamonds have
been found of thirty carats weight, and of
II II
more than Horatian philosophy to look
without emotion upon such stories as
these. And it would not be surprising IL,
when this discovery is generally known,
South Africa should become the objective
point of such another tide of invasion as
swept over the Pacific Slope when Califor-
MIA was first found to realize the tabled Ell
Dorado. Pniel river is no further from
New York now than San Francisco was in
the memorable days of 49. It is but a
month or so of ocean voyaging, and then all
Goloonda lies at our I3et. And all the ne
cessaries of life are there infinitely
more accessible and cheap than they were
in California in the early times. Meat, for
instance, is plentiful and good at four and
i've cents pound, and other things in
proportion. If much of our restless float
ing population does not drift speedily to
Phiel river, it will be because its magnif-
cent promise is too obscure, or SO prodi-
gious as to seem Incredible
Americans of some sort, however, sooner
or later, will be sure to find their way
thither, and with them, we fear, will cease
the tranquility of the little settlement.
With them will appear those most efficient
of mining tools, the bowie-knife and the
revolver. But with these weapons they
viii bring their ingenuity and energy, and
these advantages may somewhat compen-

Through q Ions series of years, and among most
of the races Of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, it has become better known.
Its uniform character and power to cure the va

made it known as reliable protector against

sudden attacks of CTo7fp, 1t should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for them.

cured and the patient restored to sound health
