Deal Gently Win the stomach.

# it proves refractory, mild discipline is the
thing to set it right. Not all the nauseous
draughts and boluses ever invented can do
half as much to remedy its disorders as a few
wineglassfuIs-say three a day-of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which will afford it
speedy relief, and eventually Danish every
dyspeptic and bilious symptom. sick head
ache, nervousness, sallowness of the com.
plexion, fur upon the tongue, vertigo, and
those many indescribable and disagreeable
sensations caused by indigestion, are too
often perpetuated by injudieious dosing. An
Immediate abandonment of such random
and i'll advised experiments should be the
first step in the direction of cure; the next
step the use of this standard tonic Alternative,
which has received the highest medical sance
ton and won unprecedented popularity.

Female Drunkar0S,

A London letter says: In the United
States you rarely see girl or woman 60
into q drinking bar. It is common in
England. In the slums Of London s.
great deal of the drinking is done by
women. This kind of nroil1iscuUus tip
pling used to be pretty well confined to
the lower classes. But our Gladstone,
from the highest motives, no doubt-tor
all he does is, of course, eminentlv con.
scientious-maie every drug store and
grocery store, every sweet shop and
fancy bakery, bar-room and drinking
shop for women so that the girls and
their mothers of the upper and middle
classes could go out" round the corner"
like Eccles, in "Caste," and tipple as
we'll as their poorer sisters. And they
avail themselves of the privilege to an
alarming extent. Mr.. Gladstone's fa-
mo ds free-trading measure in drink has
increased drunkenness among the women
of England until it has to be treated by
the faculty as special disease. Every
doctor will tell you that the miscellane
GUS drinking among women, promoted
and extended by enabling women to
take wine and spirits at the grocer's Or
coniectioDer's, and to order it in with
her vinegar and sugar, is exercising an
awful influence upon the British female.
