Some people seem TO have an ire
sistible penchant for eriticising un-
favorabIy the actions of others. No
matter what is done, nor how well it
is done, these envious, ill-grained
folks are bound to find fault with it
in some respect. They never do any
thing themselves, because they can't,
and then they get out Of hunor with
those who can and do, and belittle
their labors. Two or three such
characters are enough to disturb the
peace and thwart the good intention:

Informal Ingenuity

Could scarcely devise more eXcTuclatine tor
lures than those of which you see the evlden-
ces in the face of a rheumatic or neuralgia
sufferer The agonies are the consequence of
not checking rheumatic or neuralgia attack
at the outset, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has been found by skillful medical practition-
ers to possess not only remedial, but defen-
sive efficacy, where those diseases exist. or a
tendency TO them is exhibited. Surely this
puissant but safe botanic medicine, bearing.
too, such high specific sanction, Is better than
the poiSons often employed, but most unsafe
not only in continuance, but in Isolated doses.
The blood Is depurated thoroughly from the
rheumatic virus, and the nerves, slightly i'm
purged upon, saved from ultimate and direful
throes by this benign, saving medicine, which
likewise exhibits marked efficacy for malaria,
kidney complaints, dyspepsia, constipation
and liver complaint.
