INp1sposIT1oN OF CELEBRATED Dr.
ylNE.-Rev. +. w. Conrad, d. d., about
thirty years ago Pastor of the Lutheran
Church of HagerstowD, afterwards Pas
tor of church in Dayton, o., and tor
the last twelve years one of the editors
of the Lutheran Observer, has been suf-
fering mentally and physically since last
June. At first there appeared to be
great nervous prostration and general
giving way of his energies. A month
ago the symptoms as to the condition
of his mind became more untavorable.
The Doctor is now under regular treat
ment in an institution for the Insane.
The statement has beer made in some
of the papers that heis hopelessly in
sane. His friends however, still speak
of hoping for favorable results from the
present treatment which he is undergo
ING. DR.. Conrad, from his extensive
travels in visiting Synods, pleading for
learned institutions, taking part in the
cansecration of churches, and his posi-
ton as an editor, is probably more ex-
tensively known in the Lutheran Chsrch
of this country than any other minister
who could be named.

An extensive revival is in progress in

He is thorough revivalist and very
popular among bis people.-Harrisburg

Our Tenure of Life

Depends in great measure upon regard
for or neglect of the laws of health. If
we violate them we cannot expect 10
"make old bones" But that the span OF
existence allotted to naturally delicate
constitution, or one which has been shak-
en- by disease may be materially lengthen-
ed, is fact of which we have daily proof.
The vivifying and restorative influence of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon fail
ing physique affords striking illustra-
ton of the power of judicious medication
to strengthen the hold on life. Restored
digestion, complete assimilation, renew
ed appetite, sound repose, these are among
the benefits conferred upon debilitated by
that supreme renovant. With circula-
ton enriched, frame invigorated, and a
nervous system tranquilized, the invalid,
after course of the Bitters, feels that his
life-tenure is no longer the precarious
thing that it was-that he may yet enjoy
green old age"
