Is Life Worth Living,

If there is an Individual on earth who is
excusable for thus interrogatiDg himself, Il
Is the unhappy mortal who suffers from
malaria In some one of Its diabolical forms.
This Is no difficult conundrum, however
Life is worth living 10y any man or woman
who enjoys good health, and is not hairassed
by reproachful conscience. The malarial
scourge, heavily laid on, Is a terrible one
for the poor sufferer to endure. A series OF
freezings, scorchngs and sweats-the last
leaving one as limp and as streDgthless as
dish rag, are hard indeed, recurring as they
do with fiendish regularity. Hostetters
Stomach, Bitters is the worldly wide known
preventive and curative of this class of
maladies, either In the form of ague and
fever, bilious. remittent, dumb ague and

will, rely upon 1t, eradicate disease from the
system. They also conquer rheumatism,

Indian Medicine Bags.

The medicine bags of Navajoes, zunta
and Apaches, all kindred tribes in New
Mexico and Arizona, contain a curious
powder, known as corn pollen or hod-
dentin. This powder, which is the pol
len of rush, and also of maize, appears
to be used as medicine. being eaten
by the sick and put on the head or other
parts to ease pain, but principally as a
sacred Offering to the sun and moon
and as a sanotifier Of everything. A
pinch of it is thrown toward the sun
and then toward the four winds for
help in war or the chase, is put on the
trail of a snake to prevent harm from
it, placed ON the tongue of the tired
hunter as a restorative, hung in bags
round the necks of infants as presery-
alive and sprinkled on the dead. In
fact, every action Of these Indians is
sanctified by this powder, SO that, as
Captain Bourke writes in the ninth
volume of "The Report Of the Bureau
of Ethnology" (Smithsonian), "pleQty
of hoddentin has come to mean that q
particular performance or place is sa-
Cred"
Captain Bourke shows many analogies
to the use Of this sacred powder both
in the east and among the ancient
Greeks and Romans, and it is clear that
similar practices with regard to "med-
ioine"--that is, magic-have prevailed
everywhere and in all ages, for super
stition seems to be the universal heri-
tage Of man, SO deeply ingrained in his
very nature that all the efforts Of phi
losophers and thirteen" clubs will not
avail to root it out. Medicine bags or
amulets will continue to be worn open
ly or secretly not only by the wild In
dian and the Kaffir, but by many among
ourselves who cling to the beliefs hand
ed down probably from remote prehis-
toric ages. -Chambers' Journal.

Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by pro-

500 Reward 500,

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure In
all its stages, and that Is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive ure
known to the medical fraternity. Calarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
OF the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have SO much faith In Its cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that 1t falls to cure.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates diseased con-
ditiOn of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate
or pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys sand bladder are
out of order.
What To do.
There is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed. that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy ful6lls
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
1t, or bad effect following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized II
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. Il you need
medicine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists; price fifty cents and one dol
lar. For a sample bottle and pamphlet,
