OF MOUNT LIB lN0N.

We may not accept their peculiar reli-
giOus views. We cannot enter into the

III one particular the Shakers excel
all other men or classes OF men. This
is il tho cultivation OF medicinal herbs
and plants. They have made X a study
Tor more than one hundred years. They
are also expert IN extracting from them
their Characteristic essences and medici-
nal virtues. This is their peculiar in
dus,ry. Their lives have been devoted
TO IL. By 4, ,hey are supported. They excel
I'm this branch as do the monks Of the
order o. 81. Benedict with their famous
liquour called "Benedictine."
Now. this lifelong study on the part,
OF the Shakers has not been In vain.
They have accomplished much good
Their medicinal extracts and cordlals are
known throughout the world.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is proba-
bly, the most useful medicine ever given

disease IT will cure and that is indiges-

a Most Magnificent Heirloom

Is health. No gem in tiara or coronet is so
precious. Per contra, hereditary tendency
to disease, often proves fatal legacy, since
the most trifling causes may fertilize the
latent germs of i'll health and render the
fruitage deadly. An inherent transmitted
weakness of the physical constitution is more
enectually opposed and counteracted by Hos
letters stomach Bitters than by any other
safeguard. Digestion and assimilation pro-
NOTED, due hillary secretion, action of the kid
neys and bowels insured are so many guaran-
tees of permanent health, and these are the
consequences, among others of like impor-
tance, of resort to the Bitters. This medi-
complaints, nervousness, chronic insomnia,
rheumatism and neuralgia. Such warnings
as loss OF appetite and sleep, too. should not
be disregarded. The Bitters will restore both

ings in Southern States.
Lady Henry Somerset's Resolutions

lard Criticized.

London, June lS.---The final session OF
the convention of the British womens
Temperance Union was held in tho City
Temple. today. Lady Henry Somerset
presiding. Lady Somerset was reelected
president. Lady Somerset proposed a
resolution denouncing the lynchings In
the southern parts OF the United States
In the course of her remarks In introduc-
ing the resolution, Lady Somerset de-
nounced Miss Ida Wells, the colored agita-
tor against lynchings, for having made
unfair attacks upon Miss Frances Il.
Willard and other temperance leaders In
America, charging them with being I'M
sympathetic with the negroes IF the
United States.
Miss Florence Belgarine said that al
though the resolution had her hearty ap.
proval, she felt constrained to defend Miss
Wells against the aspersions cast upon
her She thought the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of America acted the
part Of an apologist for rather than de-
nouncer of the outrages perpetrated upon
the Southern negroes.
