obstructing Nature.

Instead OF aiding her in her efforts to re-
cuperato, is obviously not the way to get
we'll when one is sick. Yet this is pre-
cisely the course pursued-of course un-
wittingly-by persons who are continually
dosing themselves with powerful mineral
drugs for some malady with which they
are afflicted. Such baneful indictments
rather tend to retard recovery than TO
hasten to it. How much more sensible
are they who employ the gentle acting but
thoroughly efficient restorative, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. which, unlike the drugs
referred to, is eminently wholesome and
safe; and, instead of ipjuring, improves
the tone of the stomach and re-creates
health and vieor in the broken down sys-
tenn. Indigestion, liver complaint. consti-
patton, kidney and bladder ailments, and
rheumatism, yield to its corrective in
huence, and it is the remedy and pre-
ventive par excellence for intermittent and
remittent feVers and other disorders bred
by miasma, tainted air and water. 1t Is.
moreover, a superb appetizer.

attention will be paid to guests. In order
to ensure large attendance the price has
been placed at the exceedingly low figure
OF so cents for adults and % cents for

disposed to help the church to attend.
The object is a worthy one and should be
