Arrest Decay
When q plant or q tree begins to decay II
must needs die. 1t canno DO revitalzed. But
It Is not so with human beings. A human ruin
can be repaired, strengthened, restored, though
a brown, leaf or q withored blade Of grass can
never be made green again. In tho autumn Of
life, or even In Its wintcr. when nature seems
to DO giving way under the pressure OF years, It
10 etill possible to retard the progress OF decay,
and to lend to ago moro than Its wonted yigor.
As o means Of promoting this object, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is unquestionaoly tho
most potent Of oil restoratiyes. II Will not
make the old young, but II will prevent, lesson
or soothe the infrmities which are the usual
Accomplishments OF the decline Of life. For
debility and o lack OF nervous power, from
whatever cause arising, It 10 the medicine that
OF all others before the world, best deserves the
name Of q specific. In purity, in inyigorating
properties, In It's adaptation TO weak stomaehs
and feeble organizations, 1t has no competitor
among tho tonics Of tho pharmaeopeia, nor
among proprietary remedies. Besides Its
Strengthening principle, 1t possesses Alternative
and regulating properties OF the highest order,
and as an ntI.bllious medicine 10 far preferable
10 any Of the preparations containing mercury.
Time has shown that for physical decay, nsr-
vous debility, dyspepsia, bilious disorders, and
intermittent fever, Hostetter's Bitters is q rem
edy without 0 rival. This Is the season OF the
fall Of the leaf; let Il remind the old, the feeble,

My DEAR SIR: All with whom have
consulted fully, agree that, with the gen.
eral apathy everywhere prevailing in the
ranks Of the Radical party in Maine, 1t Is
safe to presume that they will not throw
more than $4,000 to 1900 votes this fall.
We have in Maine not less than 10000
voters. In 1893 va threw between $1,000
and 61, 900 votes and henceiit Is plain %
see that we have only to Quietly bring
out our own vote this year to secure bril-.
liant triumph.
Victory IS CERTAINLY WITHIN OUR
REACH, and appeal to you personally, in
behalf Of the Democracy of Maine las |
shall To active and energetic Democrats in
every town in the State), to quietly and
adopt means at, once, to make
sure that every Democrat in your town
Is atthe polls.
need not remind you that victory in |

10 the friends of constitutional liberty All |
over our beloved country, and insure Us
PsnnSyIUGnid and Ohio In October, as DtH
