A Dangerous Torpor

Horpor or inactivity of the kjdneys is
seriously dangerous 10 those organs,
since ii is The precedent Of diseases
which destrcy their substance and endan-
ger life. This sluggishness may b. over
come by stimulating them, not excessive
y, but moderately, an effect produced by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, general
invigorant and Alternative, possessing di-
uretic Properties OF no common order.
The impetns which this admirable medi
cine gives to their evacuative Junction
counteracts any tendency to congestion
which may exist in their tissues. Both
they and their associate organ, the biad-
der, are inyigorated as we'll as gently
simulated by the Bitters. which exsrts a
kindred influence upon .he stomach. liy-
er and bowels. and by Strengthening the
-ystem. enables it to withstand malarial
-pidemics, 10 which when exposed it
might otherwise succumb.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1879-12-05

Last Monday evening three young chaps
went into Ingrahsm's grocery, evidently fol
the purpose OF making disturbance. They
made themselves free with various articles, not
only eating, but scattering them about. Mr.
Ingraham requested them to keep quiet ana
not modest his goods, and they commenced
their abuse upon him, when he ordered them
out of his store. Instead Of going they be-
haved still worse, and threatened to jerk him
out OF ms boots. He put up with their abuse
until I" forbearance ceased to be q virtue" when
he took up an ax-helve and started for them,
knocking one OF them down, and would have
given them what they justly deserved had they
not left the store. Mr.. Ingraham is one OF our
quiet, straightforward citizens, but he don't
like to be run over, and don't intend to be by a
l)r Of evil-minded boys, who had much better
be fitting themselves for life OF usefulness
than disturbing quiet citizens.-Day Spring.
