Effects OF cIose Shaving.

Do yol know what close shave
means? never did until looked at
a face the other day through mi
croscope which had been treated to
this luxurious process. Why, the en-
tire. skin resembled piece of raw
beef. To make the face perfectly
smooth requires not only the removal
of the hair, but also portion of the
cuticle, and close shave means the
removal of layer of skin all around.
The blood vessels thus exposed are
not visable to the eye, but under the
microscope each little quivering
mouth, holding a minute blood drop,
protest against such treatment. The
nerve tips are also uncovered, and
the pores are left unprotected, which
makes the skin tender and unhealthy.
This sudden exposure of the inner
layer of the skin renders a person IL
able to have colds, hoarseness and
sore throat.-Medical Glasses.

Poor HumanityI

The common lot is one of sorrow say-at
least-the pessimists, they who look at the
worst side. Certainly what would otherwise
be bright existence, is often Swallowed by
some ailment that Overhangs it like pail, OBJ
securing perpetually the radiance that else
would light the path. Such an ailment. and a
very common one. is nervousness, or in other
words. weakness of the nervous system, a con-
dtton only irremedinble where inefficient or
improper means are taken to relieve it. The
concurrent experience of nervous people who
have persistcn;ly used Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters Is, that 1t conquers entirely supcrsensi-
tiveness of the nerves. as well as discnses-so
called-which are invited and sustained by
their chronic weakness. As the nerves gain
stamina from the great tonic the trouble dis
appears. Use the Bitters for Malaria rheu-
matism, biliousness and kidney troubles.
