Drunken Stuff.

How many children and women are slowly
and surely dying, or rather being killed, by
excessive doctoring, or the daily use of some
drug or drunken stuff called medicine, that no
one knows what it is made of who can easily
be cured and saved by Hop Bitters, made of
Hops, Ruchu, Mandrake, nandelion, &C.,
which is so pure, simple and harmless that the
most frai woman weakest invalid or smallest
child can trust in them. Will you be saved by
them? See other column.

his obstinacy in insisting that every
other consideration should ba waived
to foster and promote his chances for
the nomination in 1880, and that this
constantly growing reputation for tricky
shrewdness it would be found would
not add to his waning popularity in the
South. That while his nomination
might be forced upon the party by the
