ury Trials

The outcome of murder trials all over
the land at present evinces clearly enough
the unwilingness Of petit juries to find
criminals, indicted by a grand jury, guilty
of the worst offense against the law and
society, namely, premeditated murder, and
the reluctance Of Judges to pronounce its
extreme penalty. But there Is no escaping
the penalties which nature exacts for dis
regard of or a deliberate violation of her
laws. Dyspepsia, born of imprudences in
eating and drinking, rheumatism caused
by needless exposure in inclement wealth
er, dangerous organic troubles resulting
from unchecked inactivity of the kidneys,
and all the formidable outgrowth of the
so-called minor ailments and their neglect,
are durable with Hostetter's Bitters,
also a competent preventive Of malarial
ailments. This medicine is also an incom-
parable appetizer and sleep promoter.
