When We Demoralixe the stomach

BY excuses or imprudence in eating, We
can not hope to escape the consequences
for any length of time. The most 70.
bust 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
irreparable? BY no means. The dys-
peptic has only to do two things to in
sure his ultimate recovery. First, he
should adopt an easily digestible diet.
Second, he should use with regularity
and persistence Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, the leading gastric invigorant of
the age. The multiform symptoms of
dyspepsia and the almost invariable at
tendant disorders. biliousness and con-
stipation, will assuredly cease to perse-
cute the sufferer if the above advice is
attended to. Who that has suffered the
torments that chronic indigestion in
flicts will neglect to take advantage of a
remedy which, if the most positive evi'
dence of the medical profession and the
public is to be received with due cred
ence, is an absolute specific for the COM
plant?

that Consul General Lee, who is on his
way TO the United States, would not re-
turn to Havana when his vacation Is over.
Judge Day replied that the regular thirty
days annual leave had been granted to
Gen. Lee and that 30 far as he was aware
there was no reson to suppose the general
would not return to Havana when the
thirty days had expired.
The understanding here is that Gen.
Lees visit to the United States at this
time is purely on personal business, al
though it is probable his presence here will
be taken advantage of by the officials for
consultation with him regarding affairs in
Cuba. He is expected to return to Hay-
ana about the first of October.
