CHICAGO, May 19--The starting price for
June wheat to- day was 74ac, which proved to be
the lowest figure of the day. A rally to 75c fol-
lowed, after which the market reacted to 74sc,

crop damage during the day. Vessel room was

A Wise Reform.

The habit of administering ouinine
in powerful doses, as on antidote to
malarial maladies, was once danger
otusly common. Happily this practice
has undergone wide reform. Not
only the public, but professional men
have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely, Hostotter's Stomach Bit.
ters as q safe botanic substitute for
the pernicious alkaloid. The conse
quences of this change are most i'm
portant. Now fever and ague suffer
crs are cured-formerly their COM
plants wore only for the time relieved,
or half cured-the remedy failing to
produce any appreciable effect, except
the doses were increased. A course
of the Bittcrs, persistently followed,
breaks up the worst attacks and pre-.
vents their return. The evidence in
favor of this sterling specific and house
hold medicine is of no ambiguous
character, but positive and satisfacto-
ry, and the sources whence it proceeds
are very numerous.
