Winter Comforts and Clothing.

The chilly blasts and cold northers
generally create more or less discomfort
caused by the wants of proper means to
keep warm. Almost anyone can now
avoid this and possess him or herself
by a proper supply Of warmth giving
clothing by calling at Wolfson's world
bazaar, and select, according to taste,
and at prices that biggar description.
The knit goods department has been re-
ceiving special attention, and care has
been taken to select the various styles
and patterns with special reference to
this section OF the country. Wraps with
and without hoods connected, or the lat
ter single in all the hues and colors from
white, blue, pink, ETC., to the more So
Der and darker shades. An immense line
of jerseys, PLAIN, ornamental, and in fact,
all styles have just been unpacked ready
to choose from and at the very lowest
rates heretofore unheard of. These
goods recommend themselves to ladies
as special bargains at this season of the
year, hence, 1t is not saying too much,
when In addition to the throng of con-
slant visitors ten thousand more ladies
can be accommodated with everything
needed for the winter.

HUMAN TENANTS.
The Millions of Animals that Live
In nenrIY Every Human BODY.

Have you ever looked through a micro
scope at a drop of stagnant water, and if SO
| did you not notice an army of animals that
were swimming around in it? And did you
know that the blood that circulates in human
veins is composed of infinite numbers of small
| corpuscles that resemble animals? And did
| you also know that when anything poison
GUS gets into the blood, it becomes Just like
stagnant water, full of living animals that
| feed upon each other and upon the blood
| itself? And yet not one person in fifty is
free from blood poisoning in some form or
| other. Every moment of the life, whether
awake or asleep, million poisonous ami
mails, invisible to the naked eye are feeding
upon the very elements that make and sus-
tain life. This terrible fact not only ac-
counts for many diseases, but shows the alb
solute necessity of driving this army of ami
mails out of the body by some gentle yet
powerful agent that will awaken the energy
of the system, and put pure, rich, health
giving blood in their place
A well known gentleman in Washington
was for years troubled with loss of appetite,
faintness at the pit of the stomach nervous
ness sleeplessness, dull headaches, and va
rious other symptoms which interfered with
his important duties, and made life a urden.
Physicians could not tell him what the trou-
Bile was but through the urgent solicitation
of friend, he at last tried new course Of
treatment, discovered that his blood was i'm
pure, and he is well to-day wholly through
the use of Volina Cordial, the remedy which
is becoming so popular, and is attracting
such wide spread attention from scientific
people and physicians. The chemists who
have analysed Volina Cordial, find that
it not only contains the purest clements but
is such that it will drive impurities from the
system, and place the body in condition
where it can be thoroughly cured and retain
health.
When we consider the terrible amount of
poison that is in the blood, that is dragging
down so many thousands of people to I'M
timely graves when we see the losses which
it brings to business men, professional men
and heads of families because they are una
BILE to attend to their duties, and when we
reflect upon the innumerable numbers of
mothers and children on whom it has cast
its faint, we are not only compelled to feel
a sense of sadness, but to hail with rejoic-
ing anything which comes unhcralded, like
yolina Cordial, TO purify the blood, drive
out disease and bring vigOr and health.
When the blood becomes poisoned or over
charged with wasto-matter it begins to purify
Itself through the medium of the skin, caus-
ing bOils, pimples and various eruptive dis
eases; and instead of going around with your
face covered with those eTuptions, you should
take Acker's Blood Elixir, which thoroughly
eleanses the blood and rids the system of ali

A Foolish and Stubborn Belief

In the efficacy OF certain remedies of violent
action, is the besctting fOiblC Of the ignorant
and preiudIcCd. The indscriminate use of
Durgauyes is Il very common phase of the
faulty Of such people AlOes. pCdyphillin,
disguised in sugar coating. castUrOil, mercury
and other Old fashioned drugs, still hold their
own among this class, and although the sue
ly disprOvcs the necessity for violence in medi-
cation, the adherence of an exploded falacy
still persist in giving and taking inOrdinate
purgative doses. Dyspepsia, constipation, liver
complaint are as certainly and thoroughly
subdued by the BitteTs rs they are invariably
aggravated by an indiscrim nate use of medi-
cnes, Ofiicinal or proprietary, belonging to the
class VIII Ch we have condemned. Fever and
