DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS
almost uniye, sal1v

Nearly every other person you meet is a
victim. an apparently willing one; were
this not the case, why so many sufferers,
when certain, speedy and safe remedy is
within the easy reach of all who will
avail themselves of it? But says q dys-
| peptic: What is this remedy? to which we
reply: This great allevator of human
suffering is almost as widely known as the
English language. 1t has allayei the
| agonies of thousands, and is to-day carry
comfort and encouragement to thousands
of others. This acknowledged panacea is

DR.. H0OFLAND'S GERMAN DITTERS
Would you know more of the merits of
this wonderful prepai alton than can be
| learned from the experience of others?
| Try it yourself, and when it has failed to
fulfil the assurance Of its efficacy given by
| the proprietor, then abandon faith in 1t.
LET IT BE REMEMBERED,
! first of all, that HOOELAND'S GERMAN
BITTERS is not q rum beverage.
They are composed wholly of the pure
| juice or vital principle of roots. This is
not a mere assertion The extracts from
which they are compounded are prepared by
one Of the ablest of German chemists. Their
effects can be beneficial only in all cases of
the hillary system. Hollands German
| Bitters stand without an equal, acting
promptly and vigorously upon the liver;
they remove its torpidity and cause health
ful secretion of bile-thereby supplying
the stomach with the most indispensable
elements Of sound digestion in proper pro-
portions.
They purify the blood, cleansing the
| vital hui1 of al1 hnrtfu1 irppu,.iti ins aud s,,
planting them with the clements Of genuine
healthtulness.
Now, there are certain classes Of per-
sons to whom extreme Bitters are not only
unpalatable, but who find it impossible tc
take them without positive discomfort. Fol-
such Dr.. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
has been specially prepared. 1t is intended
for use where a slight alcoholic stimulant
is required in connection with the we'll
known Tonic properties of the pure Ger.

use; and every family should have them on hand
Tor their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them TO be the SAT
est, surest, and best Of all the Pills with which
we market abounds. BY their occasional use,
the blood IS purified, the corruptions OF the sys-
tenn expelled, distractions removed, and the
wle wnole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
ana sluggish are cleansed by AUcr's Puts, anu
stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease
IS changed into health, the value of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multtudes who enjoy
II, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
rtues tbnt e, unmpared for any length ot tlme, SO
mat they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Aithough searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution rdiet, or

Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pttts rapidly cure:-
For Byspcpsisr or indigestion, Eistless-

should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.

uously taken, as required, to change the diseased

For DrOpSy and IpropsicnI Sweliings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of drastic purge.
For suppression, q large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
AS a Dinner Pin, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolcrably well, often finds that dose of these
Pitts makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

sod as q Fertilizer.

During the last year l made lin
tied experiment in the us of grass sods
as a fertilizer. 1t was desired to plant
"a piece of worn out land in cabbage.
Home manure was exhausted, and it
was doubtful whether commercial fer
tilizers would pay on land so utterly
destitute of humus and all other car
bonaceous matter. Burrows were made
four feet apart with one horse turn
plow, which was run twice each way,
opening to depth and width ofabout
ten inches. The roadside were resort
ed to for wild sods, which were taken
up with a spade, of a width TO suit the
furrow, and of such length as the sod
would ALLOW. These were turned bot
tom upward in the burrows, which
were then filled full of loose earth with
a hoe.
After the first rain, tile plants, being
of good size, were dibbled into the
loose earth, the roots reaching down
generally to the sods. The plants ac-
quired rapid growth within few
days, and the result was such a growth
of cabbages as have seen produced.
except in soil i'll a high state fertility,
previously, or made so for the special
crop by very liberal application oil
fertilizers. The cod was a source OF
moisture and fertility, and maintained
a thriftiness in the plants during a dry
spell which seriously afflicted adjoin-
ing crops.

The New York Evening Post says
the defaulter in the recently discovered
embezzlement case in the New York
Postoffice is an old man who has been
in the service of the department for
quarter of a century, and who has
hitherto maintained an unblemished
reputation. The Government sustains
no loss by this lapse from honesty,
inasmuch as the offender has assigned
property of sufficient value to meet the
sum of his misrepresentation but the
circumstance is none the less deplora
BILE as a sign Of the moral laxity of the
tines. The defaulter is brother OF
Professor Norton, Of Yale College.
