simplicity. Complex confections OF chf-

applique on the edge. A portable awning

ON THE SAFE SIDE.

Everybody knows this is a good place
to be, but everybody does not take
measures to be there. An efficient pre-
ventative places us on the safe side Of
incipient disease, and there is no one
more reliable than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters In cases where the kidneys are
inactive, which is bue the preliminary
to various destructive maladies, which
disregarded have a fatal termination.
Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy, oede,
ma, are but the outgrowths of neglected
inaction Of the kidneys and bladder.
They should be checked at the outset
with bitters, which will prevent their
progress by arousing the renal organs
to activity, and thus place those who
resort to this saving medicine on the
safe side. This preservative of safety
also conquers constipation, liver COM
plant, malarial fever, nervousness and
dyspepsia.
