a Result of DISTRACTED Digestion.

Among the hurtful consequences of
Of obstructed digestion, is the impoverish-
ment of the blood, and since deteriative
condition of the vital fluid not only pro-
duces dangerous organic weakness, but,
according to the best medical authorities,
sometimes causes asphyxia, it is appar
ent that to improve the quality Of the
blood by promoting digestion and assimila-
ton, is wise precaution. Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters is presciely the remedy
for this purpose, since it stimulates
the gastric juices, conquers those bilious
and evaoauafive Irregularities which inter-
fere with the digestive processes, promote
assimilation of the food by the blood, and
puriies as well as enriches it. The signs
| of Improvement in health in consequence
of using the Bitters are speedily apparent
in an accession of vigor gain in bodily
substance, and a regular and active per-
tormance ofevery physical function.

Killing Detormed Children.

How appalling the thought that the
king of a great empire should demand, as
Lycurgus did, the killing of all children
born deformed. While this wicked prac-
tice is not continued, yet in the United
States more than two hundred thousand
poor, helpless, crippled and deformed per
sons have been allowed to become so; and
nine tenths OF them never need have been
in this pitiable condition, and many Of
them wish they had died while young or
never been born. Why the exclusion, as
stated in Leviticus xxi, 1920, we know
not; but the great sympathy for. and care
Of the paralyzed the deformed, the blind.
etc., by our Saviour, teaches US an imper-
alive duty. We can not DO for all as King
| David did for onathan's son, yet, with
the triumphs of art and science, the Ma
tiOnal Surgical Institute is curing thous-
ands annually. About twenty years and
nearly million dollars have been expend-
ed in organizing and equipping the four
great divisions of this Institution and de-
velping the new modes of treatment, ma
chinery and appliances. Surgeons and
commissioners from other nations at the
centennial conferred the highest praise
upon it. The National Surgical Institute
exhibited there five times as many hui
man appliances for the cure of deformi-
ties and surgical cases as all the world be-
sides, and of course received the highest
prize medal and diploma. All its treat
ment is scientific, easy and rapid, avoiding
all the old painful, barbarous. and falla-
cious treatment of old times More than
forty thousand persons have been cured by
the Institute, 1t is daily becoming the
household word and cripple friend all over
America None need fear the expense of
cure above their ability to pay; but owing
to the hard times and travelling expenses
many are deprived of its advantages. For

Some months since the woman Maud
Williams, whose career IN this city for ten
years had given her fame of low degree, -
sent note to lady in this city expressing
sincere desire for reform As a result, the
lady, with friend, met Maud by appoint
meut, and the two became convinced that
she was repentant and desired to lead a
Dew life. On their suggestion she went to
Mercy hospital as retreat-aDd on Fri,
day last she was baptized in Ste Marguer-
ties church and received into the catholic

man, it is not unlikely that home for girls
and young women who have been led
astray, but will heed good counsel from
those who will interest themselves in their
welfare, will be established near this city
probably on the hospital grounds.
Maud Williams is said to be person OF
more than ordinary natural abilities and
cultivation. All good people will be glad
to hear of her reformation, and will hope
that it may be permanent and that the
proposed home for outcasts may be estab
lished and do much good.
