A F0Olhardy Exploit.

Two young men, strangers to the
town of Dover, England, recently I'M
dertook the very daring exploit Of
climbing up Shakspere's. Cliff the
height of over ninety feet Although
the idea of climbing up ahis cliff seems
almost ridiculous one of the men,
after toiling for long time, succeeded
in reaching the summit. His compan-
ion, however, after he had managed to
get little over half way, stuck fast by
getting his leg jammed between the
clefts of the rock. The man at the top
saw the critical position of the other,
and ran off to the coastguard station
for help, The coastguardsmen obtain
ed coil of rope, and lowered it to the
cliff, and by this means hauled him up
to the surface in safety. The poor fel.
low was in very exhausted condition
having scarcely strength to walk.

The Common Enemy.

In order to make Roadway against the common
enemy Disease, it is necessary to oppose him with
persistence. 1t very frequently happens that q
remedy perfectly adequate to the necessities of
the case, il persisted in, is condemned and thrown
aside because few doses of it do not cure NAL
ady. How unreasonable and unjust would such
a judgment be regarding Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, one of the lAost popular and highly sane
toned medicines of the day, potent nvIgorant.
and an invariably successful remedy for constipa-
ton, dyspepsia, liver complaint. incipient rheu-
matism and govt, inactivity and weakness Of the
kidneys and bladder, and for the infrmities Incl
dent to the decline OF life. No fact is better es-
tablished than the above, yet in order to expert
ence its truth, those afflicted with obstinate forms
of disease should give this benignant curative a
patient trial If they do, they may rely upon de-
csve curative results.
