Like "Sweet Bells tangled Out of
Tune"

Weak nerves respond harshly and
inharmoniously to slight shocks,
which would produce no effect upon
strong ones, The shrill outcry of a
child, the slamming of door, the
rafting of a vehicle over uneven
pavement and other trihing distur-
Dances effect weak nerves--sensi-
tive nerves, sorely. Nervousness is
largely attributable to DYSPEPSIA and
non-assimilation of the food, a very
usual concomitant of sleeplessness,
Digestion and assimilation renewed
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
soon beget nerve quietude and
sound repose. The great altera-
tive causes the liver and bowels to
unite in cooperative harmony with
the stomach, whereby the general
tone of the system is raised to the
true standard of health. In mala-
rial complaints, rheumatism and
kidney trouble, the Bitters produce
excellent results.

STRANGE DEATHS.

The Pine Bluff Commercial relates
the following remarkable but
truthful story of two strange
deaths, in Grant county, Ark,
(which adjoins JefGerson), and asks
if anybody can account for it;
About one year ago, near Junette
Grant county, lived young Rob
ert Butler. He was of fine physique
Of iovial disposition, and was
owed and respected by all. He
picked out load of cotton and car
led it to a neighboring gin. While
assisting in the work he was sud
denly stricken with something like
cramps and was put in a wagon and
taken home On the way, although
It appeared as if nothing serious
was the matter with him, he told
ais friends not to send for doctor,
rs he could do nothing for him as
he knew that he was going to die.
The doctor was sent for but, could
not relieve the sufferer and the next
day he was a corpse,
Mr.. Butler left a sister, ofperfect
physique, who during life, had en-
ioyed the best Of health. Last
Sunday she attended church and
on returning home, told her par
ents that she was going to die. She
said she had seen and talked with
her dead brother and knew that
her end was near Monday morn
ing she got up and appeared to be
in as perfect health as ever She
did her usual work about the house
and after completing the same,
changed her dress for a black one
and said that she wished to be bur
led in it, A little later, she lay
down upon bed and soon her
soul passed from this world into the
spirit world from which there is no
return.
The above story is vouched for by
a well known Grant county citizen
who is in Pine Bluff today and who
knew the Butler family intimately,
Verify, truth is stranger than fc-
ton.
