body-the heart, is stimulated to healthy

HINTS FOR RIGHT LIVING.
One man who has done more to teach
the American people how to care for
their bodies than almost any other, is
DR.. R. v. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y, the
Author of the "Common Sense Medical
Adviser" He says: ut is not the guam
tity of the food eaten which produces
strength and health (for some people
can keep strong on very meagre diet),
but it is how much food is absorbed and
assinilated by the blood and carried to
nourish every organ of the body. 1t is,
therefore, vitality necessary for the body
that the stomach be in healthy state.
If disease of the stomach, or what is
called ustomach trouble" prevents prop
er nutrition then the heart, liver, lungs,
and kidneys do not get proper food
they are not fed on rich red blood, and
in consequence, begin to show signs IF
distress. Outwardly these signs may be
pimples and eruptions on skin, pale face,
sleepless nights, tired languid feelings,
or, by reason of the nerves not being fed
on pure blood, they become starved and

neuralgia. Rheumatism, too, is blood
disease. After years of practice and
study DIR. Pierce found that one of his
prescriptions made from the extracts of
several plants, invariably brought about

red corpuscles of the blood by helping

Circuit Court Proceedings.

The case of J. D. Billmyer against
the Hamburg-Brem Fire Insurance
Company occupied the court Tuesday,
Wednesday and part of Thursday.
After all the evidence was in, the de-
fendant demurred to the plaintiffs ev-
idence, and filed reasons in writing.
The jury rendered a verdict for Mr.
Blllmyer for 1878 80, subject to the
decision of the court on the demurrer
to the evidence. Judge Faulkner took
the case under advisement and will
decide during the term.
The case Of the State against john
F. Maddox, late town sergeant Of
Shepherdstown, which had been pushed
by the bonding company Of Elkins,
was continued until next term, Mr.
Maddox being held on his personal
recognizance in the sum of $500. 1t
is generally believed that the bottom
has dropped out Of the prosecution,
and that there will be no further ac-
ton in the case. The point originally
raised by Attorney G. NJ. Beltzhoover
before Magistrate Moler in Shepherds
town and later before Magistrate Gal
laher in Charles Town, that there was
no attempt at concealment of accounts
and no evidence of fraud, is now ac-
cepted as good law, and there is prac-
tically no case against the defendant.
The case of the State against R. S.
NJ. Hoffman, former secretary Of the
board of education of Shepherdstown
district, was tried before jury on
Tuesday, and a verdict of not guilty
was rendered.

1t does seem as if the limit OF toler-
alton has been reached in the admin
istration of our corporation affairs.
The town is practically running itself,
and it is said is getting more and more
deeply into debt each day. No one
knows what action is legal and what
illegal on the part of those who as
sumo to fill the Offices. No council
meetings have been held for several
months, there is no respect for the
law, and the situation is not only
reproach to the community but posi-
lively dangerous.
If the responsible and self-respect-
ing people Of the town do not unite
to put an end to this state of chaos,
and elect as town officers for next year
capable and intelligent men VINO will
manage our corporation affairs wisely
and firmly, Sbepherdstown will be a
very undesirable place of residence
for some time to come and lie and
property will have small protection.
