~ AGGRAVATED 1ND1GEST!ON.-
Persons who are predisposed to dyspepsia, hnd
their sufferings from this cause greatly a.ggra-
waited by damp weather, easterly winds ana sud-
den changes from mild to chilling atmos.
phere In the spring, therefore, the pangs OF
indigestion are seriously augmented ny the at,
mospheric variations peculiar to the season, and
it is incumbent upon all who desire TO pass
through the ordeal ofits cold msts and lnsau-
brious gales with easy stomachs and untorment-
ed by the Undesirable torments which accom-
pany dyspepsia, to tone and strengthen the d.
gestive organs with q hcalthful and effective
vegetable inyigorarlt; and no one at all familiar
with the medical record of the age, can question
for one moment that Hostetter's Stomach Bltters
is the Tonic best adapted to this purpose:
The credentials of the Great kestoratlves are
uneeualled in number and character by those OF
any other advertised medicine in the world. IL
ever there was preparation to rank as Ma
tional Remedy, this wonderful specific has talr
claim to the title. For period OF twenty years
it has literally been the Champion Tonic and
Alternative on this side ofthe Atlantic. In pop
ularity it has never been approached by any OF
its would-be competitors, and its annual sales
are so far in advance of those of any other medi-
CHE of its class, that comparisons would be RI
dculous One of two conclusions is inevitable.
Either the American people are deficient IN
common sense, and incapable of rational dis
elimination, or Hostetters Bitters is the best
preventive remedy for indigestion fever and
ague, bilious remittent fever, constipation, rheu-
matsm, nervous complaints and ali maladles OF
an epidemic or endemic type. The reader will
judge for himself which of the two conclusions
is most consistent with fact and reason. tcb26

THE FRENCH sPoLIATION
CLAIMS.

The agreement Of Louis the Sixteenth
Of France to aid our forsfathsrs in the
Revolution with . little army, with
subsidy Of six millions Of francs, and
with guaranty Of . loan Of ten millions
more in Holland, was less an act Of gan
erosity than it is popularly supposed to
have been. In return for this assist stancs
IN behalf Of American Independence, the
then infant Government Of the United'
States guaranteed to France forever her
North American possessions, and en-
tered into an alliance, offensive and de-
fensive, against Great Britain, which
France deemed to have been violated
many yesrs afterwards, when the Ameri.
can Government, under the guidance Of
Washington, refused to assist her in the
great Nepoleonic wars. The ratification
Of the Jay treaty and Washington's IA
nous proclamation Of neutrality raised
French indignation to such z pitch, that
French ships Of war began to pray upon
American commerce, and committed
those s'spoliations" which are still nm
settled By tho convention Of the year
1900, . partial arrangement was made
which prevented war between tho two
! nations, and then, in 1901, Napoleon,
First Consul, on the other side, and the
United States on the other, arrived at >
complete understanding, France dssist-
ing from al demands founded upon al
legged disregard or violation Of treaties,
and this country renouncing all claims
founded on acts Of spoliation committed
by France. But this arrest Of the con-
trovessy between France and the United
States did not abolish or get rid Of the
claims for indemni6cation which had
been urged for many years BY American
citizens. They had bssn made against
Fruncs; in future, the claimants must
look to their. own 0oysrnment for salts
hctios, is having assumed the obligation
of paying them. Patiently OF inpatient

ture OF American character, that

fortune come in and all else is for
gotten in the flow of heartfelt gym
pAshy. This is amply illustrated
in the case of Mr.. Greeley. The
press, irrespective Of political con-
;Yiction, recognize his merits - >
mao, and do Justice to his charae-
ter and services to the country.
