It s amusing that the feeble should totter, with
uncertain steps, over the face of the earth, in
danger every day of falling victims TO the morbid
influences by which we are all surrounded. when
tested and proven vegetable tonic, capable of en-
downing them with the vigor they need, Is procur-
able In every city, town and settlement 1t might
reasonably be thought that after the twelve years
experience which the world has had of Hostetter's
Bitters all would know that its effect is to prevent
disease.
At certain seasons the atmosphere is surcharged
with the seeds of intermittents, remitents, rheu-
matism. pulmonary disorders, bilious complains
and the like. Persons whose nervous systems are
relaxed are the first to succumb to these distem-
pers. Brace up the physical energies, then, with
this potential vegetable tonic. 1t is the most pow
erful lecuperant which the botanic kingdom has
ever yielded to patient research and experiment.
Try it. The blindest disciple Of the old medioal
dogmas will at least admit that tonic and aitera-
tive, compounded of approved herbs, roots ane
barks can do no harm, while the testimony o.,
thousands invites trial of its virtues.
Vigor is the thing most needed in these cases o.
well Is in dyspepsia and nervous affections, ane
Hostetter's Bitters Is the SAFEST surest and mosi
wholesome Strengthening preparation that human
skill has yet concOcted.

"A new Peabody has arisen in Eng

There are in England no less than one
hundred and fifty registered kennels of
fox hounds, with staff, stud and equip.
ments as complete as those Of an army
corps. Many of them are supported by
subscription, others, as the Duke Of Beau
forts, are maintained at private expense.
So enormous is the cost of supporting and
hunting these packs that not few mas
tiers of hounds expend from e2, 600 to
50, 500 per annum over and above their
club receipts, all for the honor of the posi-
ton. The clubs number from one to three
hundred members. Each member keeps
at least one horse and hack; many of
them half dozen. As good hunters cost
from 9100 to $500, some idea may be had
of the extravagant cost Of the amusement
of hunting the fox in England.
A fearful story of suffering is revealed
in the report just published by Tie Gazette
of India, of the tir Kali or three fold famine
of grass, grain and rain, which occurred
in 186S-1S69 with frightful severity over
1ON, 900 square miles of Rojpootana, sur
passing in intensity any which has occurred
since 1872 and almost equaling that of
1861, of which the record is preserved that
threequarters of the cattle died, and, that
man ate man. The scanty crops which
struggled up in spite of drouth were
swept away by plague of locusts cholera
fastened on the starved people, and ter
rible fever followed, striking down the
entire population. The deaths from this
latter cause alone are put down at 20 per
cent Of the inhabitants, while in some of
the Marwaree districts they rose as high
as one-third. Taking the most moderate
of the statistics furnished, the local au-
thorities calculate that in Marwar and AL
mere and the other districts no less than
1,250,000 human being died of disease and
starvation. The famines or periods OF un-
usual scarcity which afflict Rajpootana
have hitherto required at intervals Of some
ten or twelve years.
