Encourage strict confidence with your

will be the same with you, and in thus
doing you will avoid much that is un-

Go out always with your husband,
but manage to make home so attractive

Dress better for your husband than
for any one else. Take pride in his
appearance that he may judge your
heart by his own. Never allow him to
see you slatternly attired. Even be

pretty over kitchen board.
BE strong in your determination

The prompt reform of those bodily evils,
enfeebled digestion, incomplete assimila-
ton, inactivity of the liver, kidneys and
bladder, as well as of the nervous symp-
toms which these ailments are especially
prone to beget, is always accom- lished by
the use of Hostetter's Stomach 1bitters, a
medicine accredited by physicians, pro-
nOunced pure by analysis, AID eminently
wholesome and agreeable, Surely such a
restorative is preferable to uDpalatable
and indigestible mineral drugs and INSANE
toned nostrHms The nation at large as
suredly thinks so, judging by the unprece-
denied demand for the article from Maine

where. Both at home and abroad it is
recognized as a standard remedy and pre-
