other column, rs being books which, by Their
new, practical and interesting methods, commend
themselves to every live teacher. Perhaps the
most valuable feature Of the books Is their 70.
Variable adaptation to the needs Of different
teachers Every one who has visited many
schools has been painfully reminded of the
differing knowledge, tact, and capacity Of diff
forent teachers. In fact only one out Of many
has special aptness to teach. Aud then, one
teacher may have much more Of this valuable
aptness for one study than for another One
teacher can teach without much help from text
book; another, or the same in another study can
do nothing without the text-bool-litte more, in
fact, than to ask the questions Of the book, and
that tho printed answers are correctly recited
Now, all these poorer teachers cannot he dispensed
with. Nature and our normal schools do not
| furnish enough, who have the highest genius for
teaching, for all our schools and never will But
in onr opinion these books do more to assist the
teacher who is not genius, and at the same time,
to wisely direct and give full scope to the teacher
who has the high genius of aptness to teach than
any others we have ever examined

INDIGESTION main cause of nervousness
is indigestion, and that is caused by weakness of
the stomach. No one can have sound nerves
and good health without using Hop Btters to
strengthen the stomach, purify the blood and
keep the liver and kidneys active to carry off all
the poisonous and waste matter of the system.
