Right or Wrong.

Which will we have? 1t does seem as
ii some folks prefer to have the last con-
diiion of the liver rather than the first.
They perpetually dose themselves with
purgatives totally without virtue as
Alternative of liver trouble. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the successful candi-
date for the peopel's choice, and yet,
popular and well known as it is, there
are unfortunates who keep on trying the
drastic remedies of former days. 1t is
to the intelligent portion of the public
that the well known and long tried
properties of the Bitters appeal. Reason
should be guided by experience in the
matter of medication. 'The best guide
to our feet is the lamp of experience, I"
said great patriot of the early revolu-
tionary period. and the exclamation is
pregnant with truth. For over a third
of century the Bitters daily has met
with the endorsement of the people suf-
fering from liver complaint, malaria,
constipation, rheumatism. debility and
troubles accompanied by dyspepsia.
Latterly it has declared itself and been
thoroughly approved as remedy for
ia grippe"

The prisoners in the Parkersburg
Jail attempted an escape a few days
ago by throwing red pepper in the
eyes of the jailor. Fortunately the
jailor had the presence of mind to
slam the door shut which locked
before any of them escaped. The
notorious Clouston was the instiga-
tor of the scheme. The jailor will
be rendered totally blind.
