DRAGGING OUT EXISTENCE.

The nervous, weakly invalid does not enjoy
life. but merely .'drags out existence. - as the
phrase is. United for the active pursuits OF
life, and incapable OF partaking of. lis pleas
ures, to which health alone can give q Zest; dis
inclined to social intercourse, and i prey 10
melancholy. the valetudinarian is indeed an OBJ
ject OF pity. Yet here is nothing in all this that
cannot be remedied by that genial Alternative
tonic and nervine, Hostcttcr's Stomach Bltters,
which supplies deficient stamina, braces the
nervous system, and ovcrcomcs those bodily
Irregularities to which nervous weakness is most
frequently attributable. Diseases of the kidney
and bladder, imperfect digestion and uterine
troubles are fertile sources of debility. Their
eradication however, becomes q matter OF GER
tainty when Hostetter'ss Stomach Eltters are
systematically used for that purpose. The Bit
tiers likewise annihilate and prevent fever and
ague and other facilitating febrile complaints OF
o malarial nature. - aprl-lm

Is HE ?

The Chicago Tribune in an article OK.
planning the Republican endorsement at
Cincinnati of President Grant, says:
"Whatever may be said against him, 1t
cannot be denied that he performed a
great service In selecting and authorizing
Secretary Bristow to break up that gi-
gantic combination Of whisky-thieves
which was formed In Andy Johnson's
administration. President Grant issued
his edict, Let no guilty man escape and
authorized Secretary Bristow to carry it
out. The secretary did so, and the presi-
dent Is entitled to credit for this, and it
would be mean not TO award il. The
president is also entitled to the thanks OF
the country for his able efforts to reform
the civil service
This Is good-this is excellent. "Grant
issued his edict, "Let no guilty man es.
cape" and authorized Secretary Bristow
10 carry 1t OUT" and then turned the
secretary out of the cabinet because he
took the president at his word and
made an honest effort TO follow
instructions. And this Is absolutely rich :
1.-The president rs also entitled to the
thanks Of the country for his noble ef.
forts to reform the civil service" The
civil service under President Grant has
been disgraced by such appendages a,
Schenck, Babcock, Belknap, Robson
and the whole host of revenue robbers, {
few OF whom are now in Jail. Grant
chung to Schenck as long as be
could; he sticks to Babcock close,
than brother; he parted from BelknaI
with regret" and though the whole
Republican herd, as a few of them al.
ready have, should flee from RobbeI
Robson, his home would still be In tn,
bosom OF President Grant. As to III,
whisky thieves, they have had Grant,
c0untenance and sympathy throughout
To praise President Grant as a civil
service reformer Is to attract attention
10 the very acts which have sub
jected him to the uneQuivocal censure o.
respectable men OF all parties, and is
