How Not to Die.-Thousands fall prey
to disease not because the maladies that affect
them are necessarily fatal, but because they
lack the requisite amount of active vitality to
make valiant resistance to the enemy. 1t is
a wise precaution to keep the body always in a
state of defense-always prepared to " fend
of " the germs of epidemic and other disor-
ders, ard to battle the evil influence of damp
miasma and sudden thermometrical changes.
There is no difficulty in doing this. 1t is fact
as we'll authenticated as that two and two
make four, that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
specially adapted to this purpose, and for the
simple reason that its invigorating and regu-
lating properties are superior to those Of any
other medicine in the world. During the
twenty years that it has been in general use,
ample opportunities have been afforded to
compare its medicinal properties with those of
other preparations claiming to be of similar
class, and the result has been its adoption by
the American people as the standard tonic of
the age, its introduction into every civilized
portion Of the Western hemisphere and an
annual sale which dwarfs into insignifieance
the demand for all its would-be competitors.
The record upon which its popularity rests is a
curiosity in medical literature, for it includes
an almost unlimited variety Of human all
ments and disabilities. In fact, no other
remedy possesses such variety Of hygienic
virtues. and il is to these characteristics that
il owes its prestige as household medicine.

harvest or the Head.

When the comb acts as a rake, bring
ing away roll Of parted fibers every
time it passes through the hair, badness
would soon be inevitable. But even in
this case, forlorn as it may seem. the
mischief can be arrested, the loss re-
paired, Lyons Kathaircn, aided by a
brisk application Of the brush to pro-
mote the absorption of the fluid by the
scalp, will stop the thinning-out process
in forty-eight hours. The roots from
which the dead iilaments we're shed will
be re-endoyed with vitality, and new
growth will speedily spring up on the
denuded place. This work of repro
duction will 60 on until the damage is
completely repaired, and the luxuriant
crop of hair thus produced will never
wither or fall out as long as the vital
izing application is regularly continued.

ALCOHOLIzED ARNTCA,
Prepared by the RI. FF. Trappists,
Monastery Of Notre Dame des
Neiges, Ardeche, France.

A RNICA, AS USUALLY SOLD IN THIS
IA country, is manufactured from the dried
flowers, which, as may be imagined, must
have lost much of their original strength
during the process of desication. The Trap
pist Fathers, having the facility of preparing
their AlcoholiEed Arnica on the spot where
the plant Grows naturally, and.at the moment
Of blOssoming when il contains all its active
properties. are thereby enabled to offer u
remedy which SURPRISES anything Of its kind
that can be had in this country.
Wherever their Arnica has been tried il has
been held in great demand. 1t may be we'll
10 state that besides the advantage resulting
from the use Of this remedy, the purchase OF
the same is great act Of charity. rs thus an
assistance is afforded TO the poor religious
who depend chiefly on this resource for subsist-
ence. The misfortunes which befell the prinei-
pal cities Of France are well known; the good
have suffered as well as the wicked; and the
monks Of Ia Trdppe who subsisted chiefly on
aims, have been refused .he bread Of charity
which We can procure for them.
The Rev. Francis D'Assise. one Of the Trap
pist Fathers Of Notre Dame des Neiges. is
now In the city. and offers his remedy to the
citizens of Memphis. Being DESTROYS of
having an agency through which the medical
ment will be handed 10 our citizens without
fear Of being adulterated. he has succeeded
In securing the Christian Brothers rs agents
for the sale Of their Arnica.
