ful activity Of the system we must resort to
artificial means. For this purpose SChenck's
Sea Weed Tonic Is every etIectual. A few
doses will create an appetite and give fresh
vigOr to the enervated body. For dyspepsia,
It is invaluable. Many eminent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed Tor that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic in Its nature Is totally diff.
ferent from such drugs. 1t contains no cor.
rOsive minerals or acids; in fact it assists
the regular operations Of nature, and sup.
plies her deficiencies. The tonic in It's ma.
ture so much resembles the gastric juice
that it is almost identical with that fluid.
The gastric juice is the natural solvent
which, in healthy condition OF the body
causes the food to be digeStcd; and when
this juice is not excreted in sufficient guam.

"Hot water supplied" was a card in
many shop windows in Welsh village,
and we were quite puzzled to know the
purpose Tor which the useful fluid was
sold. We guessed that it might be
cheaper for the very poor to buy their
water hot than 10 buy the fuel to heat it.
But this was not the explanation. Par.

ly tea, that great British beverage, and in
all the shops where hot water is supplied
they can also find a table and seats, at
which they produce their tea, make it

for the hot water covers the expense Of

for the arraDgement.-Dr. Primes Litter

The New York Bulletin has pub
lished very full adyices for some time
past in regard TO the crop Of wheat
sown this last fall in the Western
States. The Chicago correspondent
who hasbeen furnishing these re-
ports from time to time sums them
up in Tuesdays issue as follows:
From the very full reports we
have sent the Bulletin during the last
ten days Of the condition of the pres
ent growing crop Of winter wheat,
we think we can confidently state:
First, That the acreage in all the
winter wheat growing States has
been very largely increased. Sec.
pndip5 hat the Hessian fly has 1gAsls-
ed In all the wheat growing States
from Ohio through to Kansas. This
damage was done in the early part
of the season, during the drouth OF
August and September. Then com
menced the long wet season.. which
continued until the LIST of December,
and the fly ceased working. The
late sown wheat was not affected, but
has grown remarkably fast and en-
tiers upon the winter strong, healthy
and vigorous. The third fact is, that
the great bulk of the winter wheat
and spring wheat is still in the
hands Of the producers. These facts,
in connection with the probable end
of the European war, are, in our
opinion, facts which should be well
pondered by those who believe that
the present prices Of wheat can be
