IN support of the theory that NAL

Zwisohn, New York physician,
writes that his brother and family,
who live on the New Jersey coast, suf-
fered from malaria for years, that
during four years residence with
Them he never had the slightest
symptoms of the disease and all be-
cause he insisted on drinking only
water that had been boiled. It took
him long time to convince the mem
beers of his brothers family that the
malaria from which they suffered was
not in the atmosphere, but in the
water they drank, but when once con-
WINGED and persuaded to do as he had
done and drink no water that had not
been boiled they too, escaped the
distressing disease and have had no
symptoms Of it since.

Pain is always terrible visitant, and often
doIniciles itself with one for life. This intic-
ton is prdyentablc, in cases OF rheumatism, by
timely resort to Hostetters's Stomach Btters,
which checks the encroachments OF this obsti-
mute and dangerous malady at the outset. The
term dangerous" is used advisedly, for rheu-
matism is always liable to attack the vital
organs and terminate life. No testimony is
more conclusive and concurrent Hlan thHt OF
physicians who testify to the excellent effect Of
the Bitters in this disease. Persons incur q
wetting in rainy or snowy weather, and who are
exposed to dranghts should use the Bitt4rs as
q preventive OF i'll effects. Malaria, dyspepsia,
liver and kidney trouble, nervousness and
debility are also among the ailments towhich
this popular medicine is adapted. Fortthe in
lrmities, soreness and stiffness of the aged 1t is
highly beneficial.

Opinions of Leading Papers on the Com
mittee's Decision.
LONDON, Sept. 13.-The Chronicle
says: We confess we do not see the
reason why the committee should award
the race to Defender. Had Valkyrie
wilfully fouled the penalty could not
have been greater. There is no equity
in the decision, and we shall not be
surprised if Lord Dunraven declares the
rest Of the races off.
The Post comments: Whatever Eng
lish feeling may be there is nothing to
be done but to accept the verdict. 1t is
possible that Mr. Iselin will offer to re-
sail the race, but it is not certain that
Lord Dunraven would accept The offer
if made.
The Times says: 1t was thought the
Judgment might 60 against Nalkyrie
III, but it was not anticipated that the
committee would>do more than order a
resail. That issue most of us here would
have desired and it would also have met
