gives the following comment on the propri-
etors of reliable patent medicines:
ale is a specialist. and should know more
Of tho disease h. actually treats than the
ordinary physician; for while the latter
may come across say fifty cases in n year of
the particular dfSta which this medicine
conthats. its manufacturer investigates
thousands. Don't you suppose his prescrp-
tion. which you buy ready made up for 80
cents. is likely to do more good than that

anywhere from 81 tn $40 for giving it. and
leaves you to pay the cost of having it
prepared?

Took Her or Hrir- I,rac,

At a reception recently given by a
well-known citizen a young society
blood was earnestly engaged in a con-
versation, and, with his hands behind
him, was playing with what he sup
posed was piece of brio -a-brac or the
arm of a chair. But instead of that it
suddenly moved, and he turned to find
that he had been rubbing the gloved
arm of a lady. and moved up as far as
the elbow. He is a nervous fellow.
and in the explanation that followed he
said:
pardon me, madam, but ! thought
it was a piece of bric-a brac."
The explanation amused her so
greatly that she fell into co;3vulsion
of laughter, and the young man, con-
tinuing, and presumably referring to
her funnyhone, said
Your sense of the humorous has re-
ieved me of my extreme embarrass-
ment."
Perhaps it has, but it hasn't relieved
him Of the torture of his friends, who
are now asking him the price of gloves,
and how he is succeeding with his col
lection of brica- brac. -Butalo COuf-

How the human system ever RECEIVERS from
the bad effects Of the nauEeous medicines often
literally poured into it for the suppositive re-
lief OF dyspepaia, liver complaint constipation,
rheumatism aud other ailments, is a mystery.
The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely
less than than that caused by disease. If they
who are weak, bilious. dysreptic, constipated
or rheumatic would oftener be guided by the
experience OF invalids who have thoroughly
tested Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they would
in every instance obtain the speediest aid de-
rivable from rational medication. This 1ned-
cine is C. searching and at the same time a
thoroughly safe remedy. derived from vegetable

There's a good deal of
guarantee business in the store
keeping of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words-wLy a0orHS.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. Of course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works-not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand a year with
out 1t.
What is lacking is conf
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice.''

have SO much confidence in,
is the medicine for you?

Even the preachers are not averse to
joke that lies in the line of the pro-
fessional funny man. One of them
told the following in an East-Side
church lately when he was invited to
speak: A traveller discovered a man
lying on the ground one warm day
within foot or two of the shade of a
tree. "Why don't you lie in the shade ~
he inquired. Il did" replied the man.
"but it has moved away from me and ]
can't afford to follow it. well, il
you are not the best specimen of g

DO Not Worry.

About the hardest achievement is to
live without fret and worry in the
midst of uncertainty. A business man
doesn't know how the vital venture is
going to turn out. A housewife is
placed in such circumstances that her
position tomorrow is utterly unforsee-
able. What shall be done? Let to-
morrow alone. Attend to the nearest
duties. Above all, don't chafe. You
will need all your vitality, perhaps,
and all your courage, to meet those
dreadful contingencies. But nothing
wastes vitality, nothing depletes cour-
age like apprehension. Provide, il
you can. If you can't, go on calmly
in the round of present occupation.
Tackle tomorrow when it becomes to-
day. Don't cross the bridge before
YOU come to it.
