CAN 1T BE TRUE?-Within the last few
months considerable number of persons
tor of the nopular medicine known as
VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured him that,
in their belief, his preparation is an infalli-
BILE antidote for rum and tobacco. me
minute details which have been furnished
him forbid him to doubt the, accuracy OF
the statements. This new claim of agreat
remedy to the confidence of the public will
give ayast and well-deseved impulse to its
popularity. Heretofore the BTTTERs have
been recognized as pure vegetable tonic
and corrective, devoid of alcohol, and
thoroughly adapted to the cure Of stomach
and bowel complaints, nervous disorders,
bilious affections, muscular diseases, and,
indeed, majority of the ailments within
the reach Of medicine; but if it will also
cure the craving for liquor and tobacco,
philosophers, statesmen and tneologlaiis
ought to unite their voices in its praise.
Can the good news be true? 1t is easy TO
test the question.

HALF Alive

1t is a sad thing to pass through life only half
alive. Yet there thousands whose habitual
condition is one of languor and debility. They
complain of specific disease; they suffer no pos
tive pain, but they have relish for anything
which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their
more robust and energetic fellow beings.
In nine out of ten this state of lasstude and
torpor arises from morbid stomach Indigestion
destroys the energy of both mind and body. When
the waste of nature is not supplied by due and
regular assimilation of the food. every organ is
starved, every function interrupted.
Now, what does common suggest under
these circumstances of depression? The system
needs rousing and strengthening; not merely for
an hour or two. to sink afterwards in more pftia-
BILE condition than ever Gas it assuredy would do if
ordinary alcoholic stimulant were resorted to-
but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object TO be accomplished
The answer to this question, founded on the TN
varying experience of quarter of a century, is
easily given. Infuse new yigor into the digestive
organs by course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Do not waste time in administering temporary
remedies. blt wake the system up by reeuperating

The Trouble i'll the New York Ware
house and Security COmpnmX.

New YORK, Sept. 9.-It appears that the
trouble in the New York Warehouse and Sc
curlty Company arose from relations with two
of It's directors, Francis Skiddy, an importer OF
l0l Wall street, and Shepherd Gaudy, Of No.
90 Wall street, both heavy sugar importers who
were directors of the New York Warehouse
and Security Company and also directors Of the
Missouri, Kansas aud Texas railway, now IN
course Of construction. They had invested so
heavily in this road, and elsewhere, that their
large resources and excellent credit could not
carry them through and they therefore obtained
loans FROM the Security Company, and stock
and bonds Of the latter and other corporations.
The Warehouse and Security Company, how
ever, had large amount Of paper 10 clrcula'
ton, which was about to mature. and, unless
some Of the loans to Nlessrs. Skiddy and Gaudy
were taken up they could not meet their obi
cations. Frequent consultations were had, but
without satisfactory results as the dlsordcred
condition Of the money market and the fact
that the Kansas, Missouri and Texas securities
were not negotiable in Wall street. precludcd

tiers. a meeting Of the directors had, there

solved to suspend temporarily and call a meeting
