DIR. John d. Denote.

A very large audience of gentlemen
and ladies heard DR.. Denote at the
rooms of the Young Mems Christian as.
ISOLATION last afternoon. Every seat was
occupied and the lecture was listened to
with marked attention. He urged the
importance of storing up the right kind
of brain energy. He warned by impli.
cation and otherwise against trashy read.
ing and the follies of society life and con
tended that men in storing up the right
kind of brain energy should look to Jesus
Christ to attain the highest success
While insisting that it was all important
to improve and strengthen the mind, he
advised his hearers to take care of their
bodies also, saying it is sin to violate
the laws of health. The lecture through
out was interesting and instructive and II
was greatly appreciated.

Wrenched and Racked

BY the pangs of rheumatism, the joints
eventually become grievously distorted,
and sometimes assume an almost gro
tessque, deformity. TIC, prevent such re-
suits by a simple and agreeable means
is certainly the part of wisdom. A ten
dency to rheumatic ailments may be sue
cessfully combatted with Hostetter's
! Stomach Bitters, medicine with the
prestige of a long and successful career,
of unbounded popularity, and of emphatic
professional Endorsement. 1t removes
from the blood those inHammatory i'm
purities which Psychologists assign as the
cause of rheumatism, and not only puri-
fies the life current, but enriches it, pro-
noting vigor by fertilizing its source. Di-
gestion, the action of the bowels and the
secretion of the bile, are aided by it, and
it impels the kidneys and bladder to a
regular and active performance of their
functions. 1t is besides thoroughly re-
liable remedy for, and means of pre-
venting, periodic fevers.
