TERRIBLE EXPLOSIONI
roo Hiph Praasura.

In these days of keen competition in every
line, when the business man is compelled to
bend his intellect and every energy to the
success of his business; the clerk, book
keeper, professional man and laborer, to
drive themselves at = terrific rate, there can
be but one result-an explosion, which, if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies.
They are running at too high pressure
The strain is too great. Something must
and does give way. This is equally true of
women. Though their sphere is more
limited, they have their daily burdens, frets,
and worries, and the results are the came as
with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every
day. The rapidity of its increase is awful
to contemplate. Our homes, hospitals, and
insane asylums are full of these unfortunates,
and are being crowded still further. There
is but one solution of the matter. Recog-
niLe the importance Of the situation at once,
and take the necessary measures to over
come it. If you have failing memory, hot
flashes, dizziness, nervous or sick headache,
biliousness, irritability, melancholy, sleep
lessness, fainting, nervous dyspepsia, epi-
lcpHy, etc, know that any one of them is but
q symptom of the calamity that may befan
you and even though you have used So
called remedies and treated with reputable
physicians with little or no benefit, give DR..
Miles Restorative Eervine a trial. It Is
the only remedy that may be depended
upon for nervous disorders.

Mans Inhumanity to Himself.

The most inhuman outrages, Outrages which
would disgrace the savage, man perpetrates
upon his own system by swallowing drastic
purgativcs which conVulsc his stomach, ugon-
iZc his intestineJ and weaken his system.
Many people constantly do this under the i'm
preston that medicaments only which are vi
client in their action. and particularly cathar-
tics. arc of no avail. Irreparable injury to
health is wrought under this mistaken idea.
The laxative which most nearly approaches
the beneilcient action of nature is Hostcttcr's
Stomach Bitters. which is painless but thorough
and inYigorntcs the intestinal canal instead of
weakening and irritating it The liver and
the stomach share in the benign discipline in
stituted by this comprehensive medicine, whose
heathful influence is felt throughout the sys-
ten. Malarious, rheumatic, kidney and ner-
Yous complaints succumb to it.
