muscle. Dyspepsia is its manner of say
ing Il am tired. Give me rest. To
rest the stomach you must do its work
outside of the body.
This is the Shakers method of curing
indigestion, and its success is best at
tested by the fact that these people are

" absorbed without taxing the tired di-
gestive organs, but it is likewise an aid
TO the digestion of other foods in the

can obtain through all druggists

THE Hon. Mark Hanna has been in
Washington this week receiving the
homage of the worshipers ofthe golden

Sometime to Know.

. 1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres IN the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very
best blood purifier and nerve tonic.
Try it. Sold for SOC or $l.0O per bot
tie at any Drug Store.
