NERVE IN BICYCLE RACING.
Rider Who Has the Courage Most

he was never kept in a pocket but
was allowed to get through and clear
for the tape. When Birdie Munger
struck the back of a bunch in a handi-
cap he went right on through, yelling

which Munger competed at the Illinois

good riders went through punched

There are several cogent reasons why the
medical profession recommend and the public
prefer Hostetter's Stomach Bitters above the

weaken the bowels, but assists rather than
forces nature to act; it is botanic and safe;
its action is never preceded by an internal

been a household remedy for liver, stomach
and kidney trouble.
