Marquis Ito, was received with full state
by the Duke of Tetuan, Spanish minister
Of foreign affairs, and all the court func-
,oionaries. The streets were lined with
troops. The distinguished visitors were
conducted to the palace, where the queen
and a brilliant retinue welcomed them
with flonors. BanQuets, balls and other
marked compliments followed, and the
warships in the bay were decorated with
flags and bunting.
1.-THE Duke of Tetuan has gone out OF
his way to protest that the mission is
purely complimentary and without polfti-
cal significance, although Japanese le-
gaton has been established at Madrid.

Sound Reasons for Approval
There are several cogent reasons why the |
medical profession recommend and the pub |
lie prefer Hostetter's Stomach Bitters above |
the ordinary cathartics. 1t does not drench |
and weaken the bowels, but assists rather |
than forces nature to act; 1t is botanic and |
safe; ats action Is never preceded by an in |
ternal earthquake like that produced by |
drastic purgative. For forty-five years past /
II has been a household remedy for liver, |
and kidney trouble.
