Preventing Fnture Misery.

If there is, in this vale of tears, more
prolific source of misery than rheumatic
twinge, we have yet to hear of it. PEG
pie are born with tendency to rheu-
matism, just as they are with one to
consumption or to scrofula. Slight
causes may develop this. AS soon as
the agonizing complaint manifests itself,
recourse should be had to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which checks its
further inroads and banishes the rheu-
matte poison from the system. This
statement tallies exactly with the testi-
mony of physicians who have employed
this fine blood depurent in their private
practice. There is also the amplest pro-
fessional and general testimony as to the
efficacy of the Bitters for malaria, liver
complaint, constipation, indigestion.
kidney trouble, nervousness and loss of
appetite and flesh. After a wetting,
whether followed by cold or not, the
Bitters is useful as preventive of the
initial attack of rheumatism.

Speak we'll of your town under all
circumstances. Every town has got
enough about it to furnish topics
for conversation without bringing
out drawbacks and misfortunes If
you can't speak good of the town
in which you live, you would better
talk politics or something else that
wont bring your home into ill re-
pute. There is no law that compels
a man to speak i'll of himself; when
a citizen talks disrespectfully about
his own neighbors, he is; as part
of that town or neighborhood, talk

a man Boosting of his own defects
and spreading his own foIIies to the
world you put him down for a fool.
Then don't be fool.

Ivory anklets, often very heavy, are
only worn by the Tho women of wealth
and importance, but the metal anklets
worn by others may be many pounds in
weight, and some Of them wear huge
brass plates, perhaps foot in diameter,
which, once fixed to the ankles, are never
removed. The men wear single strip
of cotton cloth, but those who come
much in contact with the Europeans are
now learning to wear trousers. Their
weapons are f1intlocks, bows and spears
the latter both for hurting and thrust

The huts are built of mud and mat
