Father, Mother, and Three Sisters Dead.

Mr.. David Claypooi, formerly Sergeant-at-
Arms of the New Jersey Senate and now Notary
Public at Cedarville, Cumberland Co., N. j.,
makes the following startling statement: my
father, mother, and three sisters all died with
consumption, and my lungs were so weak
raised blood. Nobody thought could live.
My work (shipsmithing) was very straining on
me with my weak constitution, and was rap
idly going to the grave. While in this condi-
ton commenced using Mishlcr's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because 1t was so diff
cult to get 1t in this little place, and l had i'm
proved so much, stopped taking it for time,
and the result is / have commenced going rap
idly down hill again. Somehow, Mshler's
Herb Bitters gives appetite and strengthens
and builds me up as nothing else does, and
must have dozen bottles at once. Use this
communication as you please, and if any one
wants to be convinced of its truth, let them
write me and will make affidavit to it, for l
owe my life to Mishler's Herb Bitters."
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentary, diar-
rhaa dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and liver
complaints, when Mlshler's Herb Bitters is
used, is that 1t contains simple, harmless, and
yet powerful Ingredients, that act on the blood,
kidneys, and liver, and through them strength
ems and invigorates the whole system Purely
vegetable in its composition; prepared by a
regular physician; a standard medicinal prep
aration; endorsed by physicians and druggists.
These are four strong points in favor of Mish-
ler's Herb Bitters. Mishler's Herb Bitters is
sold by all druggists. Price sl.oo per large bot
tie. 8 for $500.

The English Language in Japan.

A correspondent OF the Cologne Gazette re-
ports from japan that while the influence of
Germany is to be seen in the military arrange
ments, medical affairs, ETC., Of that country,
the language that makes most progress in that
country is English. An English legal society
has been formed, the language is taught in
many schools, and a weekly English Journal
is written and published by japanese editors.
Hitherto the mere art Of reading and writing
required several years of study, and the memo
rizing of twelve thousand symbols. But it
