ANOTHER CURFEW FAILURE.

The incident illustrates again the ca

father specially the mother-of a
home can rule the conduct and regulate
the good works OF its little charges by
the law of love. The child to whom
that does not sufficiently appeal is the

Stomach disorder may commence and
proceed so nsidiously as not to excite
the suspicion Of the patient until it is
firmly established. One may know that

the following symptoms are present: A
feeling Of weight in stomach, uneasiness
Or boating. impairment of appetite, sour
ness, hatulency bitter taste, drowsiness.
lack or energy. disturbed sleep coated
tongue. heartburn. irritable temper, etc
Inc sllShtest functional disturbance of
the stomach deranges more or less all the
succeeding operations of digestion, the
lVer becomes inactive and consultation
ensues. Nervous symptoms also arise.
which makes stomach disorder a thing TO
be dreaded. The memory becomes i'm
