the rule for insurance companies to litigate
every considerable claim. If we may judge
from appearances, the law fund of the COM

THE day of miracles is past, but some of the
cures that have been effected by that greatest

are so remarkable in their character that they
seem almost supernatural. Mrs. Mary Dorsey,
of West Grove, Tenn, was given up TO die from
dyspepsia. The attending physician said she

of Mishler's Herb Bitters induced the young
