WHEN WE DEMORAL1ZE THE
STOMACH

By excuses or imprudence in eating, we
cannot hope to escape the consequences
for any great length of time. The most
robust digestion must succumb to abuses
of that important function. But suppos-
ing that we have been foolish enough to
enfeeble the stomach, is the damage ire
parable? By no means. The dyspeptic has
only to do two things to insure his ulti-
mate recovery. First, he should adopt an
easily digestible diet. Second, he should
use with regularity and persistence, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the leading
gastric invigorant of the aged. The multi
form symptoms Of dyspepsia, and the al
most invariable attendant disorders, bill
BUSINESS and constipation, will assuredly
cease to perseceute the sufferer if the
above advice is attended to. Who that
has suffered the torments that chronic
indigestion inflicts will neglect to take ad-
vantage of a remedy which, if the most
positive evidence of the medical profess
sion and the public is to be received with
due credence, is an absolute specific for
the complaint.

Musical Recitation.

Although the Quakers, as a sect, do not favor music, regarding it as profit. less amusement indulged in by ths world people, there are occasionally stories told which show that the love of music sometimes steals it's way into q Quaker household in spite of discipline.
 George Thompson. the famous English abolitionist, while featuring on the abo- lition of slavery in the British provinces. stopped ono night with Quaker family. He was great lover of music. and at that time was a good singer.
 During tho evening he sang "Oft IT. the Silly Night, , which was listened to with the closest attention.
 h the morning his Quaker hostess appeared somewhat aneasy. She wished to hear tho cong again, tut it would hardly do. she thought, for her to re quest it's repetition. At last, howeyer, her desire ogeroamo her scruples.
 George, she said. with faint pink color ill her soft checks. Twill thee re- peat the words of last evening in thy usual manner?" Youth s Companion.
