5 IN making nominations and express
ing the hope that the county conven-
ton may not be led into the same error,
should have sent along with his COM
munication his real name to insure pub

as he does about nominations. 1t

it would not have them defeated in

they will not be defeated should nomi-

uiIestones on the Road to HeaIlh.

The recovery of digestion and the
resumption of activity by the liver,
bowels and kidneys are milestones
which mark our progress on the road
to health. They speedily become per-
ceptlble when Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers is used by the invalid. Nothing
So surely and expeditously consumes
the distance to the desired goal. AS
no bodily function can suffer Interrupt
ton without impairing the general
health of the system, so the system can
never acquire perfect vigOr, heslth's
synonym, until that function be active
ly resumed. Take, for instance, dlges-
ton, suspension of which is invariably
rectifieu by the bitters. If the organs
upon which it devolves grow weak,
biliousness, constipation, headache,
poverty of the blood, and hundred
other symptoms supervene, which in
dictate unmistakably the bsneful general
influence of dyspepsia. The disappear
ance of all these symptoms through che
use of the bitters shows with what
thoroughness it removes their cause.

NO. 38.

Henry Esterfeldt, of Eighth street, drank
iced tea regularly every summer for three
years He persisted, and one Sunday after
noon, while he was out driving his horse ran
away, and smashed seventeen dollars out OF
borrowed buggy. He paid the money, but
neglected the warning. He went ON drinking
iced tea, and in less than six weeks somebody
poisoned his dog.
A young woman who did plain sewing in
this city, while employed in the family Of
Ralph Henderson Of Maple street, became
addicted to the use of iced tea She soon ran
a sewing machine needle through her thumb.
She refused to obey the warning however,
and in six weeks she was carried away. The
man who carried her away married her first.
Last week at the beginning of the heated
term, two eminent scientific gentlemen of
Burlington took a strong, healthy, black and
tan dog, and immersed him in tub Of pure
cistern water into which a weak solution Of
iced tea had been poured. They held the
dogs head under the water fifteen minutes,
although he struggled violently, thus showing
the natural and instructive aversion to A sub
stance which intelligent human beings blind
ly and eagerly drink, and when the gentle
men took him out of the tub he was dead. II

Beware the cup. In these days of raging
thermometers and busy coroners, it is fraught
with peril. Scientific men, learned men in
the professions, have compelled us to drop
the luscious strawberry in terror, by scream
ing out TO MS that it would give us the hydro
phobia They have made us heartsick with
apprehension by showing that the tempting
peach in our hands was reeking with the
deadly prussic acid. They have filed our ice
cream with poisonous impurities They have
forbidden us to drink water that has passed
through iron or lead pipes, or that has stood
in a wooden vessel or laid in a cemented cis-
tern, or rippled from the rock of the hillside,
impregnated with heaven and chemistry only
know what awful substance, until one restric-
ton after another has made it the only safe
way for a man to get drink of water, for
him to lie down on his back, open his mouth,
and wait for the shower Science has kindly
warned us of the death that turks in the cof-
fee cup. The cup that blesses the breakfast
table impairs the digestion. Large doses of
it produce palpitation of the heart. 1t is adul-
terated with Venetian red and native sesquiox-
ide of iron. Science has also warned us
against the use of warm tea, bread and but
ter, meat, vegetables, fruit, grain, roots, ber-
ries, milk, and similar articles as food. Sim
gularly enough, science has not yet assailed
iced tea. But it will not do to permit people
to enjoy this cool, delightful beverage simply
because its taste is grateful to the wearied
system during this scorching weather. We
must do our duty, though science may shrink
from it, and the people may cry out against
us. There is danger in iced tea, and if you
would live long and well shun the cooling
cup. We will cite few instances of careful
ly made experiments
On the 10th of June, John G. Hampstead of
West HILL began to drink iced tea at dinner
and supper He kept up this practice for
nearly three weeks and then one day, going
down Division street steps, slipped and fell,
abrading the skin of both legs, and running
silver into the ball of his thumb so far that it
made his teeth ache when he pulled it out
His clothing was also considerably torn.
When he went home that evening, he learned
that his eldest boy had been whipped at
school for sticking pin as far through 9noth-
er boy as the head would let it go. He was
warned to quit drinking iced tea, but he per-
sisted in the praetice, and he is now sleeping
in the valley between West and North Hill,
where he lives and says he never felt so well
in his life. But may be he lies about it.
