Indoors, particularly in the sitting posture, are far more prejudicial to health than ex. eessive muscular exertion in the open air Hard sedentary workers are far too weary after office hours to take much needful exer. else in the open air. They often need tonic Where can they seek invigoration more certainly and agreeably than from Hostel. ter,s Stomach Bitters, a renovant particu- larly adapted to recruit the exhausted force of nature. Use also for dyspepsia, kidney liver and rheumatic ailments.

took steps to set aside the will on
the ground of mental incapacity of

about year ago, set aside the will.
From this verdict an appeal was
taken by the trustees of the property
