A Superb Blood penure.t.

Upon the action of the kidneys, bladder
and bowels depends the depuration Of
the blood. It is by promoting the activity
of these organs that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters ensures purity to the circulation.
In its passage through the kidneys, impur-
tiles which beget rheumatism, govt, and
gravel are strained from the blood. but
when those small but all important organs
grow inactive, these impurities of course
remain. and inevitably produce the
diseases mentioned, Hosteter's Bitters
rouse the kidneys TO renewed activity, by
which means the blood is depurated. II
likewise purifes the blood when contain
mated with bile by promoting a gentle but
efectual action of the bowels, and has the
further effect of regulating the action Of
the liver, thus couDteracting tendency tC
biliousness. Dyspepsia, malarial fevers
and urinary complaints are also conquered

Letter from Rapids City.


Editor Of ARGUS:
RAPIDS CRY, ILL.,, July s. II
The Fourth has come and gone, and |
will try aud tell you something about it.
In the morning the days celebration was
opened by parade of the fantastic brig
ade, composed of the drivers in Williams's
coal bank, each one riding the mule he
drives, while in the bank. They were
dressed In odd aud outlaGdish costumes,
and were accompanied by mock band,
mounted on a wagon The parade was
good one and added much to the pleasures
of the day.
Next in order was a game of base ball
bety cen part of the first nine of this place,
and the old nine Of Cleyeland. As only a
few of tie ''frsts" of the Golfers were
here they had to take in some others, and,
as a consequence, got beat, just by one
point-Colhers getting 6 and Cleveland I.
We suppose the Cleveland club were a
happy set of fellows, and if there is not a
large amount of Dragging done in Cleve
land to-day, it will be because those fellows
can't talk, that's all. But if they think
they can get any such kind Of score with
the full first nine we will get plenty of
money to convince them they would be
mistaken, and pretty badly too. We
think so, any way.
Up on the bluffs, near Gilchrist & Co. s
DUN ps, John Vogile had built nice bowery
with dancing floor, and from about
o'clock until far into the night the young
folks, kept it filed. In the evening, a
mild display of fireworks in the grove
closed the entertainment-with the excep-
Ition of the dance,
Two extra policemen were sworn in
early in the day, but their services we're
not much called upon, as with the excep-
ton of a few minor brawls, the city was
free from anything disgraceful In fact
Rapids City is changed place from what
it was two or three years ago, Not that
the population has changed so much for
the better, but, on the contrary, while it
may be as formerly, we do not see SC
much of an unbridled license given. and
more respect aud self esteem seems to be
the order of the day. Pay days now pass
off quietly, whereas the day was sigma
for d general big spree and perhaps free
fight less than three years ago. We hope
it will continue to improve.
Quite number OF our citizens went to
Moline on the train, and the Methodists
had an excursion to Moline, the proceeds
going towards building their church. Mr.
GiIchrist generously donated the use
of his steamer, the Jennie Gilchrist, te
take them down and back. Not so many
went as expected, however, the hot sun,
which shone very fercely in the morning

business of nearly $1,000 each, July Isl

track, but stepped into the culVert, and the
next moment the engine had run over his

VALuARIE MEnICIN

A VALUABLE MEDICINE. In
various forms has for many years been one
OF the chief articles in the MateTio Medicd
for the treatment of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive. and circulatory or
gans. The difficulty that was long ex-
perlenced in obtaining preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
absolute purity led to the introduction of
Helmbold's Extract of Buchu, which for
the last quarter of century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been imi-
tated, aud those who have use for it will
do well to see that the obtain the genuine
''Helmbold Buchu, the only pure and
reliable preparation.
