The terrible railroad disaster in Iowa
which caused the loss of at least thirty
lives is another of those calamities In
which the human element of careless
ness is the controlling feature. 1t mat
tiers not whether the engineer Of the
excursion or of the freight train or
the operator is in fault, somebody
blundered and innocent people paid
the penalty. 1t seems impossible with
all the precautions that can be used
and the automatic devices that are In
operation on railroads to prevent just
such disasters. In this case the or
ders that were issued to those In
charge of the trains eem to have been
amply sufficient to guard against dan
ger, and yet those men rode blindly to
death and ruin.

Pursued by a Demon

How many suicides, think you, reader,
have been committed by persons driven dis
traught and hunted to their doom by the
demon of chronic ill health? Countless.
For instance, we know, do we not, that n.y.
pochOndriasis is monomania-a sort of
minor madness produced by chronic dy spep-
STA? Again, insomnia, or sleeplessness,
often result of the same cause, eliminates
in arrangement of the reasoning faculties.
1t Is, therefore, of momentous consequence
to prevent the arrival of disease at its chronic
phase, when it daily and nightly scourges
the sufferer to dangerously uncertain goal.
No medicine known to science, as means
of arresting the maladies to which it is
adapted, exists equal to Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters. Among these complaints are
chronic indigestion and insomnia, kidney
and rheumatic ailments, constipation and
liver trouble. Appetite is improved by the
Bitters, the blood fertilized. and bodily SUBJ
stance and vigor increased by it.
