lss~ LAssITUDE AND DEBILITY. The relaXa'
ton of nervous energy, which creates an mas
position to physical or mental effort, 40 strong
rs almost to amount to positive inability, and
which we term lassitude, proceeds from VHrle-
ty of causes The principal of these are constl,
tutional debility, heat of the atmosphere, coupled
with humidity, climatic changes, and the physl-
cal prostration consequent upon n long Illness,
But, whatever the cause, it must be perfectly
clear that If the nervous system is unduly relax
ed something is required to brace it up. That
something is Hostetter's Bitters, which is unver-
sally recognized as the most complete and speady
recuperant OF the physical forces in existence
1t has been SO thoroughly and widely demon,
strated as to be matter fposltive certainty and
familiar knowledge, that the Bittcrs will not on,
ly rehabitate the physique when shattered and
wasted by disease, but will also, if taken sys-
tematically, actually compensate the constLu-
tionallv feeble frame for its deficiency OF
strength, and by infusing new life into weak
system, endow it with the health and vigor
which Nature has denied it. The Btters also
enable the body to resist the enervatlng, niiu-
cnces of heat, humidity, and changes from a
temperate to a hot climate. 1t is on these ac-
counts specially to be recommended to travellers
and residents in the torrid zone, and persons
subjected 10 abrupt transitions in temperature.

To the Editor Of the est. CrOix Avis"
Dear Sir.

Dear Sir,
Although l am not much given to news
paper writing, I think it right, in the in
tereSt of truth, to trouble you with a few
lines now.
l cannot myself see the smallest reason
why a mans being a relative of Governor
Stakemann should d~isqualify him for the
post of School Inspector. But it so hap
pens that the new School Inspector, Mr..
Quin, is a relative, neither of the Governor,
nor of any of the Governors belongings.
1t certainly is true that Governor Stake
mann has a brother-in-law, Mr.. BerYidge,
OF st. Kits. 1t is also true that Mr. Quin's
wite's sister married Mr.. B2veridge, an Eng
lish gentleman, who is no more a connec-
ton OF Mr.. Berridge than he is of the oman
in the MOON"
Of course I suppose that in the case of a
writer who signs himself emphatically
TRUTH" this confusion of names can only
be a mistake. At any rate it is what we
used to call ga mares nest" when | was a
a small boy.
[ only wish that many equally truthful
statements could be as easily explained
away.
Yours respectfully,
G. J. BRANCH.
