Referring to Shallenberger's Antidote for

Of Faith would say, that he gave this med
icine q personal trial, aud was speedily
cured of an unpleasant Intermittent Fever.
He then recommended 1t to F. j. Tiefen-
braun, 1915 Papin street, and to police OH
Ger Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both OF
whom were cured by it of chills and fever
of several years standing. Recently his
wife, after a fever of several days dura-
ton, took a single dose and was perfectly
cured. In view of these remarkable cures,
and remembering how much money is spent
for quinine, so little to be depended upon,
and often so injurious. we can only wish
that Shallenberger's Antidote would come
into general use.

DO We Need Big Muscles?

BY no means Persons OF herculean
build frequently possess minimum OF gen

very small people. Real vigor means the
ability to digest and sleep well, and to per,
form q reasonable amount of daily physical
and mental labor without unnatural fatigue.
Il is because a course of Hostetter's StOm-

to consume the allotted activity Of every

discomfort in it's enJoyments. that it is such
a pre-eminently useful medicine.
