Warning Words

The strength ald nervous energy Of the human
body ought to be Increased during the winter for
two reasons: In the rst place diseases Of the most
deadly character may be generated at this season
and secondly, it Is Of the utmost Importance that
during the cold weather months the system should
be put In condition to Withstand the effects OF the
Spring mlasma, and the subsequent depressing heat
Of Summer. 1t is therefore advisable in fact essen
tla, to tone, regulate and invgorate the digestive
and se9retive organs at this peod Of the year. and
of all the stomachlcs and Alternatives at present
known Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is the most
powerful, the most harmless, and the most agreea-
BILE. The temperature Of winter would be in itself a
glorious tonic, II 1t did not, unfortunately, bring
with It a volume OF chilling moisture and unwhole-
some winds, which have bad effect on the skin
and lungs. These must be guarded against, there
is no security for health The effect Of a course Of
the Btters is to give ygor and tone to the entire
ganizatlon-the superficial muscles and nerves, ps
well as the internal wise ra. A regular habit OF
body, healthy and natural now Of bile, an active
digestion, good appetite pure blood, and yigor-
Gus circulation Of that fluid, are among the bless
ings derivable from persistent use Of Hoste'ters
Stomach Bltters, which not only more than supplies
the place Of the best toaics catnartcs and antsep
tics prescribed In their separate forms by physl
clans, but perform the three-fod work OF invigOra
tion, regulation and publication at one and the
same time.

The water was let out Of the upper section Of the
basin, yesterday afternoon. for that purpose. A
large force Of men are at work and the improve

on Market street, and the basin on Eighth street
