AN ASTONISHING FAor--A1arge proportion

of the American people are to-day suffering
from the effects of dyspepsia or disordered
liver. The result of these diseases upon the
masses of intelli gent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually . burden
instead of pleasant existence of enjoyment
and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no
good reason for this, IL you will only throw
aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad-
vice of druggists and your friends, and try
one bottle Of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles
of this medicine have been given away to try
case. You can buy a sample bottle for 10
cents to try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all druggists
on the western continent. At Emporia by

In this age of international Sabbath
school lessons, there seems to be general
spirit of investigation with regard to re-
ligious truth. Profane history, archaol-
ogy, chronology, the natural sciences. are
all studied with reference to the light
they may throw upon sacred history.
There neV er was a greater demand for
commentaries, works of Biblical criticism
and other helps in scripture study, than
at present. Among works of this kind
there is none more useful than Hitch
cocks Analysis of the Bible, which has
long been a standard work Of reference
for ministers and other Bible students of
all denominations. 1t is what its name
texts Of scripture with regard to the SUBJ
jects of which they treat, SO that q text
bearing on any theme may be found by a
moments reference. This analysis, in adj
dition to 8 complete concordance and q
variety Of useful tables Of information,
makes this a most valuable work to
all who desire to be posted in matters
pertaining to Bible reading. This book,
before regarded as the most complete
Of its kind, has undergone a thor
ough revision, rendering it still more de-
s!rable to have. Mr.. Allen Young is
agent In this county. To show how 1t is
regarded by those who are acquainted
with it, we append here testimonials from
ministers Of this vicinity:

Thus in her young life, surrounded by
all that makes life desirable, ina beautg-
full home adjoining the city, having
kind. loving and lndulgent husband, q
beautiful baby girl only eight weeks old,
devoted parents, affectIonate brothers and
sisters, who would have almost laid down
their own lives to save her, passed into
the spirit world, In the 18th year OF her
age, this young and loving wife, kind,
obedient daughter, affectionate sister and
unselfsh friend. "Of such lie the kingdom
OF Heaven" As free as any child was
she from guile. She expressed herself as
willing to die. and met death bravely. In
the last afternoon on earth she recognized
her friends, and LEFT parting word Of af-
fection for each, and especially to the par
ents and brothers and sisters by whom
she was 50 much beloved. All unite IN
rendering to these and to the bereaved
husband heartfelt sympathy.
