person, but is strictly individual in its
attack, has been fully established.

The Fat Mems Convention.

We can see some pleasure, if no rea-
son, in the converting of baby show,
but we confess we could never see the
slightest cause, reasonable OF otherwise,
for a fat mems convention, unless it be
the fact that misery loves company.
For fifty or a hundred men, whose
several weights range from two hun
dred to three hundred pounds, to hold
a convention simply because of so much
surplus avoirdupois, is absurd to say the
least. 1t becomes doubly so when we
reflect that obesity is disease. What
would we think of as many persons
emaciated by consumption holding a
convention to compare their relative
weights. There is but one ground upon
which we would advocate another fat
mems convention, and that is that they
will meet TO discuss the merits of Adams
Anti Fat, the only known remedy tor
obesity. 1t is safe and reliable. Sold
by druggists.

Extra Liability 10 Malarial In
fccfiOn.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable
to the attacks of malarial disease. The
most trifling exposure may, under such
conditions, infect system which,. II
healthy, would resist the miasmatic faint.
The only way to secure immunity from
malaria in localities whereit is prevalent,
is to tone and regulate the system by i'm
proving weakened digestion, enriching
the blood, and givinga wholesome impe-
tus to hillary secretion. These results are
accomplished by nothing so effectively as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which long
experience has proved to be the most re-
liable safeguard against fever and ague
and kindred disorders, as well as the best
remedy for them. The Bitters are, more
over, IAN excellent invigorant Of the organs
of urination, and on active depurent, eli
minating from the blood those acrid inn
purities which originate rheumatic all
