A Gentle Stimulus

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder
by HOstetter's Stomach ldtters, which is
most useful in overcoming torpidity of
these organs. Besides infusing more ac-
tivity into them, this excellent tonic
endows them with additional vigUr, and
enables them the better to undergo the
wear and tear of the discharging function
imposed upon them 10y nature. More
over, as they are the channel for the es-
cape of certain impurities from the blood.
increases their usefulness by strengthen
ing and healthfully stimulating them. In
certain morbid conditions of these impor-
tant organs, they fall into sluggish
state, which is the usual precursor of
disease. What then can be of greater
service than medicine which inpels
them to greater activity when slothiul
No maladies are more perilous than those
which affect the kidneys, and II mediince
which averts the peril should be hlhg!y
esteemed.

THE LATE DIR. II. p. JOHNSON.
A Reminiscent and Tribute by His

late DIR. johnson.
al never was more panied and surpris-
ell than at hearing of the death of John
son. lie was the very type Of health aud
stur,liness when ] saw him last, What
will become of WhitwOrth College nowf
His placc will lie hard to fill. But as for
our friend Johnson il was probably not
har,l thing for HIM to die. His life was
ALWAYS useful. You know he commenced
preaching occasionally SOME time before
he retired from the practice of the law,
and his example was good on the circuit
among our good atured, dissipated crew
of rough-riders and iokers. Their ridi-
cule was something more than 1.-THE
worlds dread laugh" and yet johnson,
with his calm, resOlute air, never hesltnted
to announce that he would preach AT
night in the Court House at Williamsburg,
