A SOURCE OF MUCH BODILY EVIL

If the habit of body becomes irregular
much evil is inflicted on the system. The
stomach becomes dyspeptic, bilious symp-
toms develop themselves, the circulation
is concentrated, and the nerves share in
the general disorder. 1t is of the utmost
importance that the bowels should be
thoroughly and speedily regulated when
they grow derelict. The corrective agent
best adapted to this purpose is Hostetter's
Stomsch Bitters, wholesome, nou-griping
vegetable laxative, worth all the raspipg
cathartics invented since the time of
P~aracelsus. People who have been In
the habit of using blue pill, caiozhel. and
other cheap nostrums for constipation,
should abandon such burtful and useless
medicines, and substitute for them this
pleasant and gentle aperient, which not
only produces the ~purga'ive effect natu'
rally, but also strengthens while 1t regu'
lates the bowels, stomach and liver. II
moreover cures and prevents intermittent
and remittent ~fsvers. govt, rheumatism,
debility and urinary troubles.

1 A fine ball was given last
Saturday night at the residence Of
Mr.. Vilmond Romero. near
Grosse.Isle. Fair ladies graced
the ball room with their presence
and threaded the mazes of the
dance to the charming music of
the St. Joseph Brass Band. A
most praiseworthy feature Of the
affair was that it was not disturb
ed by any drunken brawls or quar-
rels ; all passed off peacably and
to the enjoyment Of everyone.
