San Francisco. Cal, July 16.-The

From private informal ton received in

THAT some consideration has been
given to this proposition by the govern

HANDBOOK OF THE TARr5F

The understanding of the complicated
provisions of the new tariff has been
greatly simplified by the issuance of this
manual, which contains decisions of the
Federal courts, General Appraisers and
the Secretary of the Treasury on mooted
points. TO digest the tariff law is no
easy task, but to digest the food taken
into the gastric receptacle is rendered
facile and agreeable by the systematic
use of that thorough stomachic. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. This is a family
medicine of comprehensive uses. 1t pre-
vents and cures malarial. kidney and
rheumatic trouble. remedies nervousness
and insomnia and removes constipation
and biliousness. Appetite, as well as
the ability to satisfy it without subse-
quent abdominal disturbance, is restored
by this fine stomachic. which also accele-
rates convalescence. Persons in the de
cline of life and the infirm of every
age and sex find it of material assist
ance.
