Nature Demands a Tonic,

When the nerves are unstrung, the head
aches, the appetite is poor or variable, the
sleep disturbed, and general depreciation
of vital power is experienced. Such a
state of things cannot long exist without
the development of serious disease. The
most active ard genial invigorant known ia
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The abso-
lutte purity of its spiri;uous basis and
botanic ingredients gives a permanent
claim to public confidence, and its sur
passing medicinal value is admitted
by medical men of distinction. by whom
it is widely used in private practice. For
fever and ague-bOth as q preventive and
remedy,-dyspe psia, liver complaint,
bilious remittent fever, constipation.
choleraic complaints, fatulence, and all
intestinal disorders, it is thoroughly re-
liable remedy. 1t is the antifebrile specific
par excellence of the malarial districts OF
this and other countries, where diseases
born of miasma prevail. and as genera
household remedy it is also universally
esteemed.

Can stew carp. and sew button;

At balls meier bids the carriage wait;

RId he Tell lie.

A good story is told Of q ship
owner of Liverpool, which will
bear repeating. Our merchant was
g Quaker, and prided himself on
his honesty. He would not have
told downright fsIsehood to save
the value of his besg ship. Jacob
suffered one of his ships to set sail
from Calcutta for home without any
insurance upon either vessel or car
go. At length he became uneasy.
He was confident bis ship had en-
coQntersd lad weather, and he
feared for her safety. In this strait
he went to his friend Isaac. He
called him friend, though I am un.
der the impression thgt Isaac was
one of the children of Israel.
"Frlend Isaac" be said, II would
like for thee 70 insure my ship
which is ct sea. I should have
done it before, bnt have carelessiy
neglected it. If thee csnst have the
policy signed, all ready for delivery,
st three o'clock on the afternoon eli
the morrow, / will send and get it,
and send thee the money in FULL
Isaac did not seem TO be anxious
to insure the ship, but upon being
assured that no lnfaYorehle intelli-
gence bad been heard from her he
said be would have the policy made
ont, TO take effect en- and after three
O'Clock Of the following day, but to
cover the ship aud cargo from the

Early on the following morning
Jacob received 3 message by the
hand of q captain just arrived, to
the effect that his ship Was stranded
and her cargo LOST. This wse very
unfortunate Should friend Isaac

policy was made out, he would not

persuasively, leaning forward to

were cast down.

claimed the widow, strengthening
herself, and playfully slapping Mr..
Costello in the face.
He moved his chair still nearer,
and stole his arm around her waist

to let Isaac go and make out that
policy under such circumstances.
Finally he hit upon q plan. He
summoned his confidential clerk,
and sent him with this message:
"Tell friend Isaac that / have
heard from my ship, and if the pol
icy is not signed he need not sign
it at all"
The clock was close upon the
stroke of three when the clerk ar
rived. Friend Jacobs message was
delivered. The ship had been heard
from, and if the policy was not yet
signed, he need not sign it.

it," said the clerk.
"No, air." answered Isaac,
promptly aud emphatically. Now,
in truth, the policy of insurance had
not been signed, tor the insurer had
been in doubt: but when he heard
the message he judged at once that
the ship was safe, and that Jacob
sought to save the heavy item OF
premium he had agreed to pay.
"No, sir" he said, "you are not in
time. It is past three o'clock. The
policy is signed. 1 will go and get
it."
He slipped out and hastily finish

Ing which gives remarkably simple,
but effective remedy for diphtheria
A few days ago, when diphtheria was
raging in England, q gentleman &C.
companied the celebrated DR.. Field on
his rounds to witness the so-calIed
wonderful cures'' which he perform
ed, while the patients of others were
dropping on all sides. The remedy TO
be so rapid must be simple, Ali he
took with him was powder of sulphur
and 6 quill, and with these he cured
every patient without exception. He
put q teaspoonful of flour of sulphur
into q wineglRss OF water, and stirred
it with his finger instead of a spoon,
as the sulphur does not readily ANAL
gamate with water. When the sui
phur was well mixed he gave it as 8
gargle, and In ten minutes the patient
was out of danger. Birthstone kills
every species of fungus In man, beast
and plant in q few minutes. Instead
of splitting out the gaTgle, he recon-
mended the swallowing of It. In ex-
IRENE cases, 70 which he had been
called just In the nick OF time, when
the fungus was too nearly closing TO
allow the gargliDg, he blew the sui
phur through the QUILL into the throat.
and altar the fungus had shFunk to al
low OF It. then the garglinR, He uev-
eP lost 8 patient from diphtheria. If 9
patient cannot gsrgle, take Q live coal,
put ie On shovel sad sprinkle q spoon
full or two OF -four Of birthstone at 3
time upon It, let the sufferer inhale It,
holding the head over il, and the fun

whole room may be filed almost &
suffocation; the patient can walk
about in it, inhaling the fumes, with
doors and windows shut. The mode
of fnmigating q room with sulphur
has often cured most violent attacks
of Geld In the head, chest, etc., at any
time, and Is recommended In eases d
consumption and asthma.
