NATURES TRIUMPH. Nature, in her
luxuriauce, has clothed the hills and the
dales with herb and shrub. whose occult
natures merely require the earnest appli-
cation of the scientific aud inquiring mind
to reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world kindly providence
has placed healing for all nations. The
only specifics for any disease yet discovered
are vegetable IN their nature. and while
quinine has been accepted as the only re-
medy for one class, the extract OF the Blu.
chu plant is rapidly taking its place as soy
ereign remedy for other of those ills aflict
humanity. The type Of disease to which
it is remedial is broad one, and It's mans
festations are legion. but it may be started
in general terms that all diseases of thu
urinary organs, whether caused By climat !

The "Rone and sinawr

Of our country have often-especially
about election time--beeu made the sub
iect of laudation; but when those useful
parts of the human structure become too
visible in consequence of leanness. they
can scarcely be called graceful. The eye
delights not to dwell. upon angles and
ridges in either man or woman. Moreover,
extreme emaciation is sign Of imperfect
digestion and consequent poverty of the
blood. Both these evils are remedied by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which rem
der digestionI an assimilation certainties,
in consequence of which the blood acquires
richness and the body substance. Thus
are the hollow places filled up and the
angles rounded of. Through the in
strumentality of this peerless aid to d.
gestiou and promoter of physical we'll
being, the body rapidly gains in vigor,
color returns to the hollow cheek, the
appetite improves, nervous symptoms
vanish, and healthful impetus is given to
every vital function.
