The prevalence of ailments attributable
TO miasmatic poison in the air that people
breathe, and the water they drink, is well
nigh unaccountable. Not alone in pesti-

districts and marshes exposed to the suns
rays by the receding tide, is this scourge
of humanity found. Even in great cities
BEAUTIFULLY located, skillfully severed. well
looked after in every respect in sanitary
way, we find malaria. Its presence is often
lneNplicable but its attacks are ALWAYS
preventable The protector is Hostetter's :

the same nAme-a name known 10 thou
sands throughout our broad land and
elsewhere as a synonym of relief preven-
tion and cure of the insidious disorders in
its abominable phases-chills and fever,
bilious remittent, dumb ague aud ague

merry babele number of lady visitors found
enjoyment in catching the dimpled darlings
and bestowing motherly hugs upon them.

In this regard we shall get perfect no.

as follows: "Of its nutritive powers, it is
enough to say that an acre sown with il will
support moro than fifty persons, whereas the
same amount Of laud sOwn with wheat in
Europe will only support two persons. AS
to the exuberance Of its growth, it Is calcu-
lated that, other circumstances remaining
the same. Its produce is forty-four times
greater than that of potatoes and 1873 times
grenter than that of wheat"

Joe Oakley. a boy not yet in his teens, was
shot in the forehead by Joseph Schroeder, at
