Rjobardsou DRUG Co. OMIT Business.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3.-The Richardson
Drug company. which was burned out
New Years morning, has passed out of
existence, just thirty-one We airs after il
was founded by the senior member,
James Richardson. The firm debated
all day yesterday as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of resuming and concluded eventually
to go ont of business entirely and
transfer the accounts to rival drug
house and wind up its affairs. This
decision was reached after the most
careful elaboration and only because
the delay of six months which would
necessarily occur before the house could
get upon its feet again, would be dis
astrous. The decision was received
with the utmost regret in business cir
cles. The firms Omaha branch will
be continued. 1t is estimated that
enough money will be received from
insurance and other sources tOprOmpt-
ly settle all outstanding obligations.

That Cantankerous Old Woman

Described in the nursery ballad, who '1ived
upon nothing but Victuals and drink" and
yet "would never be quiet" was undoubtedly
troubled with chronic indigestion. Her
victuals, like those of many other elderly per-
sons whose digestive powers have become i'm
paired, didn't agree with her. This was before
the era of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or some
one of her numerous friends and relatives
the great specific for dyspepsia, constipation
aud biIiousness. This would have been q
measure of self protection on their part, for
she would soon have been cured and ceased to
disturb them with her clanOr. The most OBJ
stinate cases of indigestion, with its attendant
heartburn. fatulence, constant uneasiness of
the stomach and OF the nerves, are completely
overcome by this sovereign remedy. Chills
and fever and bilious remittent, rheumatism
and kidney troubles are also relieved by It.
