men and children were cared for by
neighbors and the men built fires and

Ploughing the Waves.

A storm at sea means inevitable sea-
sickness for ocean travellers. The Yibra-
ton Of steamers screw. even, is a
sore trial to any but the strongest
stomach. Splicing the main brace, )"
as the inhibition of glass is jocularly
termed by sailors, is poor substitute
for the swallowing OF that incompar-
able trapquillizer of sea-slck stomachs,
Hostetter' Stomach Bitters, which no
commercial traveller, tourist or invalid
should be without in crossing the
briny," or making a tedious land
journey. No unmedicated stimulant
of commerce is comparable for efficacy
to the great invigorant. Emigrants to
the west pronounce it a reliable pre-
yentive of malarisl infection. as well
as other complaints to which hardship,
impure water and miasmat tainted
vapors give rise. 1t renders brackish
wafer drInkable nd harmless. and is
fine remedy for disorders of the
stomach and bowels. and for kidney
troubles and rheumatism.
