smoking. The habit Is contracted by those
whose nerves are disordered, who can't

liver is out of order, who get the blues
and feel their strength departing, 1t
seems strange that sufferers from the
above disorders should not cure them
selves with Hostetter's stomach Bitters'
This Ia a medicine which whets up the APP
petite, regulates the bowels, steadies the
nerves and induces sound sleep, Those
who take It find that 1t cures dyspepsia
and there is no bad taste in the mouth In
the morning, no feeling OF weakness after
the days work is done. 1t is we'll worth

In the interior provisions are plentiful.
Men returning sell their outfits, so that

tlon given by miners, there are at Valdes
and in the interior plenty OF provisions
for all winter for all miners in the Copper
