SWEPT BY A CYCLONE

OF appreciation to the plnnicle Of popu-
lartty, HoBtetter's Stomach Bitters
has acquired a commanding position,
which has occasionally made bright
and shining mark for knaves who seek
to foist upon the community spurious
compounds in the glise akin to that of
the real article. These are mostly To-
cal bitters on tonics of great impurity.
and, of course. devoid of medicinal
efficacy. Beware OF them and get the
genuine Bitters, real remedy for ma
larla, rheumatism, kidney trouble, dys-
pepsia, nervousness, constipation and
biliousness. Physicians of eminence
everywhere commend the great invig-
GRANT, for both It's remedial properties
and it's purity. A wineglassful thrice
day will soon bring vigor and regular
ity to a disordered and enfeebled sys-

But evil is wrough by "
Thought.


AS we'll as want of Thought"
BY want of thought mothers allow
daughters to become frail and puny.
Over-study in girls induces uterine dis
orders and weaknesses, and blights
their future happiness as wives and
mothers. Joined to proper hygienic
care, DR.. Plerce's Favorite Prescription
is a priceless remedy in such ailments,
its value becoming even more apparent
every year. Using 1t, the wan, debili-
tated school girl gains color flesh and
spirits, losing those deathly headaches
tormenting baclSaches. languor, dejec-
ton, and other symptoms of functional
irregularities and nervous debility. 1t
