the incidental and tributary issues
which turn upon the truth of statements,
the accuracy of memory, the motives to

Ku kux outrage, q sample of large

FALSE THEORIES -OvEETHRow,. We
live under new medical dispensation,
very different from TINT under which 80
many of our forefnthers died. The sick
arc no longer bled till they faint, nor
gorged with mercury, nor prostrated
with violent cathartics, nor blistered on
their shnven heads. Ever since the in
PRODUCTION of Hostetter's Stomach Bit

restoration, not depletion and prostrn-
ton, have been the watch-words of the
judicious portion of the profession. Tho
remarkable success of this famous vege-
table preventive, invigorant and correc-
tive has worked a complete revolution in
the general treatment of disease. At
first, the dogmntic members of the faculty
would not believe in it. ."Whatr' they
exclaimed, "cure liver complaint with
out mercury, chronic rheumatism with
out colchicum, fever and ague without
quinine! hnpossible!" But the most
obstinate incredulity must yield in the
end to practical demonstration. From
that time to the present, dyspepsia,
blllousness, intermittent ferers, muscu-
lar diseases, nervous complaints and
constipation have vanished under the
operation of the great specific, in ut least
ninety per cent. of the cases in which it
has been used rs remedy for those ail-

dies generated by change of climate,

to build some ninety miles from Sher-

are made for finishing the incompleted
portion to Fort Worth by the end of the
present year, making clear stretch of
$50 miles of the Texas and Pacific Rail-
