The trade winds are produced by the
diurnal revolution of the earth, extending
from 20 , north to 90 south of the equa
tor; and sailors hail with JOY their advent
into them, after being tcmpest-tossed and
worn, as productive OF a season of rest. For
weeks they sometimes do not touch sail,
bounding homeward through fields of sea
weed alive with minute shell-ish, and OBJ
serve the play of the grampus, pOrp0ise,
bonita, and the terrified flight of the flying
fish from the latter. How much more de
l;ghtful then must it be to guide the bark
of poor humanity into the trade winds of
health out of the head seas of disease and
suffering, and make life's future pleasan;
voyage! Yes, such can be effected by using
the Home Stomach Bitters.

been greatly improved the present week
from the south landing of Thompson &
Caaningham's ferry TO Mr.. Schlinger's

road was not only wretehed, but in places
dangerous, and the commissioner who has
had it repaired certainly deserves the
thanks Of the community. Near and just

Leanpess not only detracts from personal
comeliness, but is an index that the blood
is deficient in nujritive properties. To
remedy smaciation, enrich and purify the
blood, which will then develope healthy
flesh. This object is most readily attained
through the agency of the great blood fertj-
liz and depurent, Hnst,tter's Stomach
Bltters, which enables the stomach to ex-
tract from the food taken into it ample
nourishment for the system, removes all OBJ
stacles to complete digestion and asslmila-
zion. and by stimulating the kidneys to
vigorous action, ircites those organs to
S rain from the vital fluid in its passage
through them impurities which would
otherwise impair its flesh creating qualities
Not only do the bitters promote the devel-
opment of solid fiber, but they also increase
muscular power and elasticity, overcome
nervousness, Danish mental depression and
protect the system against disease.
