Exuberant Health

Isa blessing vouchsafed to few.
Even those who have been favored by
nature with strong constitutions and
vigorous frames are apt to neglect
the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed,
as rule, the more healthy and robust
a man is the more liberties he is inclin-
ed to take with his own physique. 1t
is some consolation to the naturally
weak and feeble to know that they can
be so invigorated and built up, by a
proper use of the means which science
has placed at their disposal, as to have
q much better chance of long life, and
exemptions from disease and pain, than
the most athletic of their fellows who
are foolish enough to suppose them
selves invulnerable, and act according
y. -
1t is not too much to say that more
than half the people of the civilized
world need an occasional tonic, to en-
able them to support the strain upon
their bodies and minds, which the fast
life of this restless age occasion. In
fact, a pure, wholesome, unexciting
tonic is the grand desideratum of the
busy millions, and they have the article
in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t is a
staminal medicine, i. e. it imparts
permanent strength to weak systems
and invigorates delicate constitutions.
Its reputation and its sales have steadi-
ly increased. Competitive preparations
have been introduced 0d i6itum, and,
as far as the public is concerned, ad
nauseuna, in the hope Of rivaling it; but
they have all either persisted in the at
tempt, or been left far in the rear. 1t
has been the great medical success of
the present century, and it is quite
certain that no proprietary medicine in
this country is as widely known, or as
generally used.
Ten lightning presses, running in
cessantly Sundays excepted,( the
whole year through, barely supply the
demand for the Illustrated Almanac,
in which the nature and uses of the
preparation are set forth, the cirulation
now being over eight millions year.

What a Leading Iowa Journal has
to say Of the Advance.

The Dubuque Times, one of the lead
ing Republican journals west of the
Mississippi, gave in recent issue the
following editorial resume of the merits
Of the ADVANCE as a National institu-
ton. One hundred thousand regular
readers of the ADVANCE in all parts of
the Union, are the best judges of the
fidelity Of tho portraiture:
A NATIONAL RELIGIOUS JOURNAL.
There may be some things the East
can do better than the West, but it can
not get up better papers. Comparing
the ADVANCE for instance, with the
religious weeklies published in the
East, it is easy to see that the time is
past when there Is any need of our
sending to New York or Boston for a
religious newspaper. The ADVANCE
believes in Congregationlism, but it
does not wear such big binders that it
cannot see any good in other denomina-
tons. A Methodist, or Baptist, or
Presbyterian, can read aud enjoy il.
Then there is something attractive in
the candid way it looks on all sides of
question. Its editorials are "meaty"-
when you bite into one of them you get
mOuthful. 1t has not fallen into the
weakness Of loading itself down with
special contributors, but it goes on the
principle Of having three or four arti-
cles every week from the best writer's 10
America and England. DR. Bushnell,
for instance, is now contributing a very
able series of practical religious articles.
Mrs. Prentiss' charming story of ''Step-
ping Heavenward" was first published
as serial in its columns. It is wonder
full to see, too, how much its editors sue
coed in packing into its different depart
ments. The review Of each week Is one
Of the best summaries of general news
to be found in any paper. 1t Sits out
the important facts, and gives the busy
reader who wants to keep up with the
times, just what he needs to know,
while he goes not choke him with all
the rubbish of the weeks news. Just so
it is with its religious news, and especial

RE- ARRESTED.-Our readers will re-
member the escape from the officer last
winter of John Koepping while on bis
way to Jail after preliminary examina-
ton at which he was committed for
bigamy. Well, the marrying John was
not heard from again until last week,
when Sheriff Shearer learned that ne
had appeared in his old haunts at Mus
catine, and had him at once arrested.
He completed the trip on which lie
started last winter Monday evening,
and took up his quarters in the Jail to
await a sitting Of the Grand Jury.

~ with its foreign news, with it's columns
on science and the arts, education,
temperance, health, the Sunday school,
christian work, farm and garden, liter
airy notes, &c. Many papers turn over
their scissors to apprentices, but the
selected matter in the ADVANCE 10 al
ways choice and fresh. Its being there
is q warrant that it is good. It remains
to be said in any fair summary of the
leading merits Of the ADVANCE, that its
commercial editorials-as the series of
articles of life insurance now being pub
llshed-are Of the ablest and most re-
liable sort, untainted with any jobbery.
Equally trustworthy are ito market
reports, that are evidently prepared
with great care.
