Hewill be backed up in his dem and by strong
force if necessary.
The Corean question absorbs pubic attention
in Japan. Nothing official has been made
public, but from report which circulated free
ly without contradiction, and from circum-
stances which occurred, it would seem that war
was inevitable. The two commissioners ar.
rived accompanying the squadron at Fusanka
in Corea on the 18th of January. Here reli.
able information ceases, but it is said that an
attack has been made on the Japanese by the
Coreans, and that the com missioners have de-
mandcd reinforcements. These rumors are
officially denied, but warlike stories are being
actively collected and passed for transmission.

The Early Stages Of D;se...

Those conditions of the body in which its functions
are not performed with healthfu activity but slug
gshy and rreguary, are in fact the early stages of

is no medical fact more clearly established than that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are admirably adapted
TO nfuse vgor into the debitated SYSTEM and to re-
store regularity to its interrupted functions As
weakness and irreguarity are sure to develop into
disease, the Bitters, by overcoming them, are the
means OF averting far more serious evils. Debility
most frequently manitests itself in the organs of di
