Neither Sick moi We'll.

The members Of the medical profession
are the recognized guardians of the health
of the community; and yet, strange as it
may seem; the vast majority of cases Of
deficient health do not ordinarily fall un.
den the notice Of the physician. More.
over, those cases are not only more mum.
erous, but more important, than such as
receive professional treatment. They
have a greater influence upon the general
average ofphysical comfort, and upon the
hYgienic condition Of the public gener.
ally, than have graver disorders. We can
see from all this how desirable it is that
we should be put in possession Of some
remedy for those multiplex little ills, that
cause US, nevertheless, so much wretched-
ness. DR.. Gottlieb Fisch's Bitters is such
o remedy. By regulating the action Of
the liver, and by stimulating digestion
and secretion, it seems to oil afresh the
wheels Of life, and to make the bare sense
Of existence itself joyl

A Dead Delus,op.

The thsoty that human beings whose
strength has been exhausted by pain and
sickness. can, be restored BY depicting
medicines and water cruel, II not abso,
lutely q dead delusion, Is In the mi
agonies Of dissolution. At length II 4
understood that strength cannot be purged
into debilitated frame, though lie may
easily be purged out OF II, and that It d
about as wise TO withhold healthfll
stimulant from the weak, In the expecta.
ton that they will rally without one, as Il
would be TO deprive a lamp OF oil and OK.
pect It to burn the brighter for It.
The immense and uniform success
which has attended the use of that won.
deriul combination of o pure stimulant
with the finest medicinal herbs, known as
Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, has largely
assisted In diSpelling the absurd chimera.
Frantic attempts are made to revive 1t,
but in vain, When the sick feel that
their strength Is departing, and that un.
less inyigorated they must utterly break
down, II % In vain to tender them leculent
slops In the place Of genuine restoratiyes.
They may be imposed upon in this way
once, but the imposition cannot be re.
peated. They desire to be refreshed,
comforted, braced up, and decline to be
griped second time.
Under the operation Of the Bitters, on
the other hand, all the processes necessary
to physical restoration go on simultane-
ously. The system Is stimulated and
toned, the bowels regulated, the appetite

mept" contemplated this end from the
|begiuning. 1t vds to be run in Mr..
BsovN's interest in this county and il
,oas 90 conducted. The bargain has
been faithfully Ecarried out by a few
professed Democrats who seem to have
resolved that no Democrat shall ever
be elected Sheriff of Ohio county.
By what specific means the apparent
increase Of 1920 votes has been brought
abou, in less than two years in this
county, we cannot now say.
We have heard Of the vot-
ing of q number of men who were
not citizens of the State; of minors
being admitted to deposit their ballots;
and Of negroes who voted in two or
more townships. There were also vio-
lations of the Code in one or two in
etances. In Clay township, Mr.. FISHER
the Supervisor, was unable to serve as
an officer OF the election and Captain
RoBB, a resident of another township
took his place and conducted the cleo
ton at the. Court House, the acting
Supervisor and both Inspectors being
members of the same political party,
The Code requires that the officers con-
Quoting the election be voters "of the
township"
There were other irregularities to
which we may call attention hereafter
For the present we would like to have
some explanation Of the "way and
manner" in which the legitimate vote
of Ohio county has increased twenty
five per cent in less than two years.
