rood Ill Digested.

Imperfectly nourishes the system, since
it is only partially assimilated by the blood.
Pale, haggard mortals, with dyspeptlo
stomachs, impoverished circulation and
weak nerves, experience a marked and
rapid improvement in their physical con-
dition by availing themselves of that re-
source of the sick and debilitated, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. This genial tonic
and Alternative lends an impetus to the
procession of digestion which insures an
adequate development of the materials of
blood, FIBER and muscular tissue. More
over, it soothes and strengthens over
wrought or weak nerves, counteracts a
tendency to hypochondria or dependency,
to which dyspeptic and bilious persons are
particularly liable, and is an agreeable
and wholesome appetizer and promoter Of
repose. The infrmities of age, and of del
icate female constitutions, are greatly re-
lieved by it; and it is reliable preventive
of, and remedy for malarial fevers.

A Model Printing omce.

The recent fasco Of Miss Frances Will
lard. in getting her temperance circular
printed at the deaf and dumb asylum, at
Jacksonville, at the expense of the state,
has called attention to some very queer
facts. In the first place, it appears that
the state runs printing Office at jackson
ville-a very gorgeous printing Office.
Everything is on the highest scale, even
down to brass ''slugs." Ordinary printers
use slugs made of lead, and are very glad
indeed to get them; but this Is unworthy
of the state and pretention of state insti-
tuticn and SO they supply their printing
office with brass ''slugs,' and everything
else on scale of similar extravaganza.

Advice TO Consumptives.

The celebrated physician, DR.. Paul Me
meyer, gives the following valuable sug-
gestions to persons suffering from lung
affections: The patient must with scru-
pulous c0nsclenliOusness insist upon breath
ing fresh, pure air, and must remember
that the air of closed rooms is always more
or less bad. No man. however
uncleanly, would drink muddy, dirty
water. A party which occupies room for
hours, breathing the same air, might be
compared to party of bathers drinking
the water in which they battle. The patient
must keep the window of bis bedroom
open. Night air is fresh air without day
light 10 close, crowded rooms, the patient
suffering from lung complaints breathes
cousumptively." By taking these precau-
tons and using DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, fully one-half of the cases Of lung
complaints would be cured in six months.
For cough and irritation of the lungs do
not always indicate the presence of con-
sumption although it may result in that
disease, and it consumption has already
become deeply seated in the system, this is
the most efficient course of treatment that

The special treatment of Disease of the
Organs Of Respiration-embracing the
Head, Throat, and Lungs, has been prac-
ticed by DR.. ROBERT HUNTER for nearly
thirty years. His system consists of the
inhalation of remedies directly into the
Lungs and Air-passes, combined with
such tonic and alternative treatment as the
complications of the case may require, and
is unquestionably the most thorough course
of Local and Constitutional medication ever
applied to the cure of these diseases. Its
success is attested by thousands. His Office
is at 103 State street-cor. of Washington

dressed.

In view of the result of the late town

moved to screech out as follows:
1--WE say the democrats of Peoria have
simply taken the party across their knees
and given it a good spanking Peoria is
a Democratic city every time-except
when Democrats make dogoned fools Of
themselves"
With the "damnedest fool'' in Illinois

surd theories. is it any wonder that true
democrats make dogoned fools of them
