semi-fendish delight often seems to pos
seSs people of strong nerves in snecriEg at those
with weak ones The irritability of the ner-
vous hypochondriaci is ridiculed as natural i'll
temper. The very genuine and distressing
symptoms from which he suffers are made
light of. 80 He" or she is n crank !" is the
cheerful sort of sympathy with which the ner-
vous invalid meets from the unfecling and the
thoughtless. At the sume time no complaint
is more defined and real, none has more
easily explainable origin when it is chronic
Imperfect digestion and assimilation are al
ways accompanied by nervous debility and
anxiety. Build up the powers of assimilation
and digestion with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and nervous symptoms. sick headaches and a
generally feeble condition of the system arc
remedied. Remember that fearful raVages are
produced by la grippe among weakly, nervous
people. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters cures it,
and prevents malaria, rheumatism and kidney

g The Blood is the lie, !"

Runs the old saying. and everything that ever
makes part of any organ of the body must
reach its place therein through the blood
Therefore. if the blood is purified and kept in
good condition by the use of Hoods Sarsspa-
rilla, it necessarily follows that the benefit of
the medicine is impaired to every organ of the
body. Can anything be simpler than the
method by which this excellent medicine gives
good health to all who viii! try it fairly and
patiently?

The Etna Life Insurance Conn
pany.

pany.
1t is with pleasure that we call at
tention to the publication, in another
column, of the annual statement Of
the Etna Life Insurance Company,
of Hartford, Conn, as required by
the law of the Stateof West Virginia,
together with the Certificate of the
Auditor of the State.
The Etna Life Insurance Company
needs no introduction to the citizens
of Jefferson county. We believe
that fully nine-tenths of the total in
surance carried in this county is
carried in the Etna, to the entire sat
isfaction of its patrons. Throughout
our great country. the name of the
Etna has become synonym for
strength, soItdity, honest dealing,
truthful representation and absolute
fulfllment of its pledges. The Com
pany is as strong and impregnable in
its position as the giant rocks of Glib
ralter; its foundation as firm, solid
and immovable as the granite hills of
its native State of Connecticut, and
its Bond or Policy as certain of full
fillment as are the bonds or securities
of the United States Government
There is hardly school district
throughout this broad land in which
cannot be found an illustration of its
benefits.
/ Surrounded as we are on all sides
with schemes of evanescent growth,
promising the immediate realization
of large and impossible returns on
small investments; based in error,
Astounding in glittering generalities,
raising high the hope of ultimate full
filIment only to leave the same un-
realized, it is satisfaction and de-
light to know that we. have repre-
sented in our midst such reliable
and time-proved Company as the old
Etna. 1t has numerous constit-
uency throughout this whole State
1t not only excels in strength and So
lidity, but in economy of manage
ment, profitableness of investment
and large dividends, It's rates are
lower than those of most companies
and its results unsurpassed.
The Company has local and spe-
cial agents throughout the State, from
whom full information with regard
to its plans and benefits may be OBJ
tanned. The Office at Baltimore puts
out some very attractive literature.
We especially recommend that the
readers of this article write the Com
| pany's Manager for the Southeast
ern Department, Captain H. B.
Meigs, Baltimore and ST. Paul Sts.,
Baltimore, Md, and ask him for a
copy of his little booklets entitled
Home Testimony" "Guide to Life
Insurers, and other literature
They are so interesting and attract
i've that we feel sure they will be ca
gerIy read and highly appreciated
The Local Agents at Charles Town,
our esteemed friends, Messrs. Wash

all of our readers. The Special Agent
; for Eastern w. Va. and the Shenan-
