The National Complaint

Dyspepsia is the national complaint. AL
most every other man or woman you meet,
has it, and the result is that the humble
of pseudo-remedies for it is as numerous
as Pharaoh host. They arc for the most
part worthless. There is, however, a
searching eradicant of this distressing and
obdurate malady, enc whose genuine mer-
its long since raised it to a foremost place
among the staple medicines of America.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters extirpates
dyspepsia with greater certainty and
promtitude than any known remedy, and
is a most genial invigorant, appetizer
and aid to secretion. These are not empty
assertions, as thousands of our country
men and women who have experienced its
effects &re aware, but are backed up
by irrefragable proofs repeatedly laid be-
fore the public. The Bitters also promote
q regular habit Of body and give heath
tul stimulus to the urinary organs.

The Grand military Encampment.

AnS 0Gduo H11taxy 6ncdnPment'
The grand encampment of all the mill
tia of this state will occur in May, and as
the place for holding the same has not yet
been determined. it is about time that the
citizens of Rock Island made an effort to
have it held here. Possibly no city In the
state offers better facilities for an affair of
this kind than Rock Island, and, from
reliable information, the Springfield
authorities are not adverse to having it
held here,Ii assurance are given that the
accommodations are ample. No point on
the Mississippi could be named where
pontoon bridges could be laid more readily;
our hotel accommodations are first class;
and besides, the city possesses one advan-
tage that cannot be shown by any other
competing point, and that is the U. 5.
Arsenal, from which military sup
plies could be furnished. such as
tents, blankets, carriages, ETC., and
also the splendid facilities for camping out
that the Island affords If the proper
effort is made the encampment can be Sc
cured for this city. 1t would be pecun-
larry benefit; to the city, would bring hum
dreds and thousands of visitors, and is we'll
worth trying to secure. There Is not
much time to lose, and whatever is done
must be done at once, as Peoria and other
points are actively working for the prize.
It is stated on reliable authority that the
Chicago regiments are in favor of Rock
Island, and that General Sheridan has
said that this point would be as good
place for military drill as could be selected.
Let our leading men go to work, and es-
pecially those who would derive the most
benefit, and, urge the claims of Rock
Island. 1t is not yet too late to accomplish
the desired object if the matter is properly
| handled.
