Tortures that Need not be En-
dured.

People suffer great deal of pain unnecessarily.
Among fortunes that need not be endured are
those inflicted by the rheumatism and govt, since
the acrid element in the blood which produces
them by contact with the sensitive covering of the
muscles and joints may be eliminated by the use
of that matchless depurant, Hostetter's Stomach
Btters before the inflammatory symptoms are de-
veOped to any great extent. When it is considered
whal eXcrucigting fortunes rheumatism inflcts,
and what tendency it has, when fully developed,
to attack the heart the advisabiity of early
of such reliable antidote becomes at appar
ent. The rheumatic virus is expelled from the
blood by the increased action of the kidneys, which
act strainers, produced by the Bitters, and the
sufferer will find, if he this supreme defensive
agent, that he viii be protected against return OF
the agonizing complaint. Dyspepsia, fever and
ague, hverand bowel complaints and other mala-
dies, are also cured by this admirable remedy.

We are not much interested as to the
manner in which Tennessee cOnvicts

who have a good deal to say on the sub
ject who buy everything they need in
few cents less cost, while the home
mechanic is rusting in idleness or eking
out a scant and miserable existence for
want of remunerative employment.
Such blatant hypocrisy and inconsis-

scorn and contempt. Athens Post
