The average discharge from the Missouri
into the Mississippi is estimated at ITO cubic
feet per second. This would be SIC, 600 cubic
yards per day, and 1so, ,O00 OF cubic yards
per year. At food stage the sediment has
reached the enormous amount OF s,OOO, 900
of cubic yards in one day. This would make
a bank twenty-three miles long and 100
square yards across, and 600 miles of such
levee in year. When the united rivers
pour into the gulf the output of soil annually
is twice the above amount The meaning of
such figures it is impossible to measure One
hundred and fifty cubic miles OF the conti-
nent tumbled annually into the sea by one
water shed. The wear and waste of culti-
vatable soil is enormous But the great prob
lem for man is how to control the mud laden
waters SO that they shall not destroy ruth

In addition to that chief remedial
neasure--the use Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters-persons suffering from an acute
bilious attack, will facilitate recovery by
the use at first of milk and lime water
and thin grnels, and by very gradual
return to the use of solid foods. Fatty
substances should be excluded from the
diet. Blue pill is remedy of doubtful
safety, particularly if there be nausea and
vomiting, frequent concomitants of liver
trouble. The Bitters, provided its re-
formatory action be not retarded and
niarred by gross indiscretions in diet, will
soon restore the equilibrium of and action
OF the liver, stomach and bowels, all three
disordered by billiousness. In all forms
of malarial disease, which in every one
Of its phases presents indications OF liver
trouble, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the foremost of specifics. The light Of
over thirty years experience also shows /,
to be fine remedy tor rheumatism, kid
ney troubles, dyspepsia, nervousness and
debility.
