A Triumph OF Chemi.,rx.

Among the numerous health-givng discoveries of
pharmaceutical chemistry, none has achieved more
transcendent and lasting success than Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters OF course there is reason for
this 1t would have been impossible to palm off for
nearly quarter of century, upon shrewd a peo-
pie the Americans mertless article, have es-
tabshed by mere adve Using such a reputation as
the Bitters enjoy if they did not possess substan-
ta title to public confidence The truth of this state
ment is proved by the fact that bogus nostrums no
matter how extensively pulled, usually enjoy but a
transient existence, then discovered to be WORTH
less and discarded. Hostetters Btters on the con-
trary after career of twenty years, were never so
popular they are to-day Soon after their appear
ance it became manifest that they possessed in re-
markable degree the power of tonng and regulating
the human system, and to-day they rank as the
standard restorative of the age.

Total shipments since January /, 1,131 ,633 cases,

The market presents the usual features of the clos

small orders There is fair demand for fancy slip
pers, and the demand is quite good as it was last
year There has been fair trade in goods adapted to
the New Orleans and San Francisco markets. but for
New York and Baltimore the demand has fallen off.
Many OF the factories are nearly idle, and none of
them are on full time. Handmade goods are being
produced to moderate extent but there is less than
usual doing, as the New England trade has ruled
quiet With the advent of wet weather the demand
will increase, and there reason to doubt but the
remainder of THE season will be more active in this

food, mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach,
aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite.
