but without buttermilk he dies Where
there is deficiency of meat and other
heterogeneous foods buttermilk supplies
the lack, as among the laborers in the

B1essed Banefaotora

When board OF eminent physicians and
chemists snnounced the discovery that by
combining some weIl-known valuable RENE
dies, the most wonderful medicine was pro-
duced, which would cure such wide range OF
diseases that most all other remedies could be
dispensed with, many were skeptical; but
proof OF its merits by actual trial has dispeIled
all doubt, and to-day the discoveries of that
great medicine, Hop Bitters, are honored and
blessed by all as benefactors. These Bftters
are compounded from Hops Buchu, Malt
Mandrake and Dandelion and other oldest,
best, and most valuable medicines in the
world and contain all the best and most cura-
tive properties of all other medicines, being
the greatest Blood Purifier, Kidney and Liver
Regulator, and Life and Health Restoring
Agent on earth. No disease or i'll health can
possibly long exist where these Bitters are
used, so varied and perfect are their opera
tons.
They give new life and vigor to the aged and
in1rm. To ali whose employments cause ir-
regularity of the bowels or urinary organs, or
who require an Appetizer, Tonic and mild
Stimulant, these Bitters are invaluable, being
highly curative, tonic and stimulating, with
out intoxicating.
No matter what your feelings or symptoms
are, what the disease or ailment is, use Hop
BitterS. Don't wait until you are sick, but IL
you only feel bad or miserable use the Bitters
at once. 1t may save your life. Hundreds
have been saved by so doing. ~ $500 skS
will be paid for case they viii not cure or
Do not suffer yourself or let your friends
suffer, but use and urge them to use Hop Bit
tiers.
Remember, Hop Bitters is the purest and
best medicine ever made; the "Invalid's
Friend and Hope" No person or family
should be without them.

Two Ways Of Squandering Money.

Ten years ago." said sedate ac-
quaintance of mine to his spendthrift
brother, ''we inherited one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars apiece. You
now have only about twenty thousand
dollars left. Instead of using your for
tune in some sort of business or paying
attention to its profitable investment,
you employed all your time in spending
it. You put horses on the race track,
you made extravaganza tours in Europe,
you kept yacht, and worse than the
rest you gambled. 1 am now told that
you have joined the new American
Turf Club. That will probably finish
you off during this winter. I'm not my
brothers keeper, and want to warn
you that don't intend to be. When
you've got to your last dollar, don't
come to me for help. That's ALL"
~ don't suppose you have spent more
than five thousand dollars year for per-
sonal expenses since you came into your
inheritance, " was the response; ''yOu
haven't had q fast horse, nor a trip
abroad, nor yacht, nor a game of
chance, nor any of the fun I've had
from all these costly things. But 1 am
dead sure you couldn't this day raise
dollar more in hard cash than l can.
L Ou We SUNK your fortune Just as quick
~ Enthusiastically as [ have, but the
difference is, have had a right royal
good time, and you haven't o, there's
no use denying it. L have kept as close
watch on you as you have on me. Thir-
ty thousand went into petroleum wells
that wouldn't squirt, twenty thousand
in a railroad that folks won't ride on,
forty thousand in mines with outputs of
stone that won't stew out a pound of
silver to the ton, and so on to the end of
all your fortune, except about as much
as I've got left. I've been a fool in soon
parting with my money, but so have
you; but have had ten years of jollity
against your ten of dull worry. Don't
you go to lecturing me. -"
1t is not approvingly, of course, but
merely as an illustration of two very
different but equally rapid ways of
losing money, that have quoted that
retort. The grave brother has decided
to stop operations as an investor and
get into smaller and safer business of a
mercantile nature, thereby putting him
self in a position to retrieve a part of all
his losses. N. T. Cor. Chicago Journal.
