A Source Of - ucn ssotsily 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 contaminated, 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 S
Stomach Bitters, wholesome, non-griping
vegetable laxative, worth all the rasping
cathar, les invented since the time of Para
CELSIUS. People who have been in the habit
of using blue pill, calonel, and other drugs
and cheap nostrums, should abandon such
hurtful and useless medicines, and substi-
tute for them this pleasant and gentle ape
rient, which not only produces the purga-
tive effect naturally, but also strengthens
While it regulates the bowels stomach and

gains are secured in short periods, and cap
ital from $40 or Sl5 to $50, 900 can be used

One of the O.d Masters.

Yesterday we looked upon a picture-a scene
from the hand of one of the oldest and most ac-
complished of the old masters" Like the works
OF Raphael and Angelo bis works all have point
of resem blance, or mannerism," in technical
language. They are figure pieces-kings, philoso-
pliers, poets peasants, paupers-eyery phase oil
human life has occupied the genius of his pencil.
Palaces and novels alike have formed the back
ground for his wonderful portrayals. 1.-The dying
mother leaving as a legacy to her loved ones her
new born babe, is one of his most pathetic
pieces" The name of this artist is Disease.
Scarcely a home in all this land that has not one
of his pictures hanging in some of its rooms, in
visible to the stranger perhaps, but to its inmates
as distinct as If painted but yesterday. He has
dreaded assistant to whom he often confides the
" finishing" OF his pctures-Desth. If you would
prevent Disease from placing one of his I" shadow
pictures" in your home, you must take the
requisite precautions to prevent his entrance. At
the first signs of his approach-general debility,
seeplesSness or habitual drowsiness, loss OF appe
tte, impaired appetite, constipation, unusual pal
lor cough, night sweats headache, or nausea
measures for relief should be promptly taken.
The system should be cleansed and str ngthened
by DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant PurIative Pellets, which are acknowl-
edged to be the best alternative, blood cleansing,
and cathartic remedies ever before the public.
Besides, they regulate the whole system and i'm
part to it healthful, vigorous tone.

How the Young and Beautiful Fell Into

New YORK, Feb. 13.-In consequence of
the exposure of Mrs. Burger for malprac-
tice, five young women have already been
discovered in a scandalous position in COR
nection with her house, Cora Sammls,
Maggie Steele, Minnie Russell, Tessie Will
liams and Margaret McLaymond. Sammis,
as already reported, is dead. Steele is get
ting along well to-day. McLaymond was
arrested last evening as u witness. She is
married, and said she called at Burgers for
medicine Several women from eighteen
to twenty-five were among the unsuspec :
ing callers at Mrs. Burgers since her arrest,
but the pelice held none except McLay-
mond.
Sammis, Steele and the Others were all
beautiful looking girls. Steele will not tell
her betrayer's name. He never offered to
marry her, and she does not blame him.
Her father is dead and she lived with her
mother. She has a married brother in
Boston. She was once very Xemplary, but
it appears that going out alone in evenings
caused her fall.
Sammis was also the best of girls until a
few months ago, when Cosgrove betrayed
her. She has a good father and mo her,
and her family is well to do.
Steele's mother had all the necessaries of
life, and the daughter has been well pro-
vided for. She, like Sammis, presented a
fashionable and attractive appearance.
Great sympathy is expressed for the par
ents. Burger has long been known to the
police. She is Bohemian by birth, ami
she is the sister of Mrs Wheeler,
sentenced some years ago for malpracli ice.

House lay copy of Schller's poems with
