| and everybody said, "Third ballot No choice
Then believing the ballot was again withou,
result, the crowd began to dsperse without hur

In the sacred college itself, just as the third

have yielded result, Cardinal Pecci, the CAM
erlengo, was announced to have received SO,
being five short of the requisite two-thrds ma
jority. 1t was solemn moment The venera-
ole cardinals sat around ia silence under their
baldanquins. The ballots were taken to the
receptacle and burned At this moment the
handsome face of Cardinal Alexander Frauchi

received the next greatest mum Der of votes, aud
his Supporters among the cardinals watched
him closely. Rising slowly and with sign,6-
cant gesture. he walked to the chair of Cardi-

The Exploratory Of ,,,e svstpr,.

The stomach is the laboratory of the system, in
which certain mysterious processes constantly
going on. These result in the production of that
wonderful vivifyiDg agent the blood which in state
OF health rushes laden with the elements of vitality
to the remotest parts of the system. But when the
stomach is semi-paralyzed by dyspepsia, blood man
utacture is carried on imperectly the circulation
grows thin and sluggisb, and the system suffers in
consequence. Moreover indigestion reacts upon the
liver and bowels, rendering the first sluggish and
the latter constipated. The brain also suffers by
sympathy and sick headaches sleeplessness and ner-
yous symptoms are epgendeied. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Btters reforms this state Of things, give per-
manent tone and regularity TO the stomach and its
associate organs, the bowels and liver and ensures
complete nourishment and increased vigor of the
system. 1t IS the most popular as well as the most
ehlcent anti-dyspeptic and tonic in America
