The bright sun and warm air tempted
many people 10 forsake the firesde and
armchair for walk through the avenues
and the suburbs Of the city. In the after
noon, from noon till dusk, no less than
three thousand persons by actual count,
men, women and children, walked up and
down Washington avenue. The procession,
for such it might be called, of parents and
children, young men and maiden', and
occasionally, a lonely bachelor or two, was

BE GUIDED III WHAT You Know
There is an old proverb which says "Ex.
| perience is the safest guide" To this
guide the sick and ailing naturally turn
when casting about for the means Of relief.
They inquire wha. medicine has done
for others, before they adopt it themselves.
Of all the remedies and prevcntives in use
| Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters meets the test
mos. triumphantly and hence its immense
popularity and vas. sales, Tho sufferer
! from indigestion is sure 20 find some one
among his friends who has been cured OF
that ailment by the famous vegetable STONE
achic. The victim Of fever and aguc, liver
complaint, constipation, nervous pro.tra-
ton, or general debility has only to make
inquiry in the neigh borhood where he re-
sides In order 90 discover what this stan
dard restorative has effected in cases SINH
lar to his own. In the published testimony
TO its merits he will find volume OF
proofs Of lis sanitary properties, which it
j. impossible for his common sense to re-
sis,. He tries IL, and the effect il produces
on his system adds another TO the host of
witnesses in its favor. Thus, its rcputa-
ton, founded on facts, not assertions, con-
tinually growa and spreads. Charlatans
and impo.,ors, some Of them mere local
trickstcrs, and others who take a somewhat
wider range, attempt 20 thrust info The
hands and down the throats Of invalids,
lheir haphazard connections, as substitutes
for the tonic which for 80 many years has
been q medicinal staple throughout the
United States, Spanish America, Canada,
and the Yves, Indies, but only succeed tot
very limited extent. In tbs reasoning
age, the people, having aseer,ained what
is really deserving of their confidence, de-
cline running after strange gods.
