on his Pegasus, the New Mem
phis bard does not scale the
thunder-blasted mountains, which
lave their bright spires in the clouds

sublimity and the grandeur Of the val

beneath the glitterirg dome OF night

arches the skies, the gnarled old oaks

The habit Of administering quinine In
powerful doses, ms IN antidote to malarial
maladics, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone wide
reform. Not only the public, but professional
men have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as .
safe bontanic substitute for the pcrnicious
alkaloid. The consequence Of this chnnge
are most important. Now fever nnd ague suf-
were only for the time relieved, or half cured
the remedy eventually falling to produce
any nppreciable effect, exce,t the doses were
Increased. A course OF the Bittcrs, persis-
tentiy followed, breaks up the worst attacks
and prevents there return. The evidence In
favor ofthis sterling specific and household
medicine is Of no ambiguous character, but
positive and satisfactory, and the sources
whspse It pyocvsds ays veyy numerous.

that Mr.. Mackay is not pleased with the
ansu the Republicans sent to the U. S.
Senate six years ago, and will not as

sure Mackay and Fair were warm friends
Mt that time, and there were other men

nther politically, but on the whole good
friends. To-day they are not friends for
10 s'-'7le reason that if you once be.

always expect you to accede to his
