SIX POINTS.
ALL WORTH Remembering,
w-CUT THEM OUT.A

People take nauseating doses for every
pain and ache, which put their stomachs out
of order, and then physician is called to
attend to them. This is all needless, for if
the Hop Plaster is used, it is absorbed into
the system IN just the way to cure without
bringing on other troubles.
medicine to be popular must be both
agreeable and efhcacious; the Hop Plaster is
a rare union of vegetable agents combined
with safety, reliability and effectiveness. The
indiscrminate use of medicines taken inter-
nally is far more productive of injury than of
benefit.
The most powerfully medcated and effec-
tive plaster ever evented 10 the Hop Plaster;
it embodies all the medicinal and sedative
properties of the Hop in combination with
the most highly approved gums and balsams
known to modern pharmacy.
The Hop Plaster is made porous. thus
allowing the free evaporation of moisture,
stimulating the innumerabie pores of the body
to a healthy action and giving tone and vgor
to the whole system. 1t is the discovery of
Yankee chemist.
The medicinal virtues of the Hop have been
utilized for centuries; they are all concentra-
leu III tnc mop ffnMeT ana 40 more real ROOu
in relieving pain than any root, drug or herb
liquid medicine in the whole domain of nature.
Hop Piasters sold by all druggists in
the United States and Canada (25 cents each
or for 81. and are guaranteed to be the best
in the markets. Avoid cheap, worthless goods.

Lewis Harrison who is no doubt an
excellent man; but we had up an ex.
cellent man also at the last election
in the person Of Gordon E. Cole,

amount of it all is that Mr.. Strait
is so industriously useful in many
ways to his constituents, that a
large majority Of them are quite
averse to swapping him off. Gen.
eral utility and accommodation go
much farther with the average
western man than ornate eloquence
and highsounding craftsmanship.
So we imagine the Enterprise will
soon learn that the bars are up,

narrow is the way" that leads to
Congressional honors in this dis
trict. Perhaps a shade of dis
