Caught by an Octopus.

A diver who was trying to find pearls
off the Alaska coast, found none, but
found himself, all of a sudden, in the
grasp of an ugly octopus with arms
twenty-seven feet long. Such an exper-
fence ID rare; but there are thousands of
people who are caught by dyspepsia,
which is quite as bad. An octopus hates
to let go. So does dyspepsia. Browns
Iron Bitters settles dyspepsia and makes
it loose it's cruel grip. Mrs. Schmidt and
her daughter, of 1856 Conway street, Balti-
more, were both cured of dyspepsia by
the use of Browns Iron Bitters.

A Terrible Array of Sudden Deaths
Among the Most Prominent Men.

This has been marvellous year for sudden
deaths among great men. The number is
enormous and includes such names as
Mcclellan, Vanderbilt and Hancock. But
think for a moment of the ones who die dali
ly in an equally sudden manner and OF whom
we never hearl What does it mean? That
something is undermining the vitality OF the
American peopleI What is it? No one GER
tainly knows, probably a combination OF
causes. From all that can be learned lack
of albumen in the body causes sapplng OF
the vital forces and quick breaking down
results. How does this lack OF albumen
come about? In various ways. Overwork,
worry, loss of sleep, dissipation. severe eli
mate bad water, injurious food-all these
things work against the life and cause sick
ness and death. People must provide against
these things and keep the body fortified.
How? Many ways may be and have been
tried. but unquestionably the best manner in
which to strengthen the body; fortify the
nerves; increase albumen and develop the
health is by the use of Hoptonic. This prep
aration contains peptOnlZed beef, malt and
hops and thus furnishes an absolute food as
well as a heathful tonic. Hoptonic is en-
dorsed by no less authority than the eelebra-
ted chemist, Prof. Rose, while physici ms
recognize its great value and are using it in
their practice. There are probably not less
than quarter of a million people using this
remedy today, and it is either curing them
or preventing the coming on of disease.
When any man, woman or child feels ner-
vous or irritable, or is for any cause uneasy,
it's sign that the current of life is deranged.
If the heart skips single beat death is the
result. If it runs on faster and faster then
the blood is sent to the head too rapidly and
1nOnlpyK
the heart or brain are liable to give way at
any moment. These are questions of lie
and death and most serious ones, Ihey
mean that if care is not exercised evil results
tonic il good at all times, and absolutely re-
ouired if the body is the least out Of order.
The mean possible ylife and happiness OF
probable sickness and death.
