Imperfect Digestion.

Means less nutrition and in con sequence less vitality. When the liver fails to secrete bile, the blood becomes loaded with bilious properties, the di- gestion becomes impaired and the bowels constipated. Heroine will rectify this; it gives tone to the stom- a ch, liver and kidneys; strengthens the appetite, clears and improves the com plexion, infuses new life and vigor to the whole system. 50 cents bottle at J.

WANTS RELEASE
Crazy Prisoner Alternately
Curses Guards and Prays

Marsh Reynolds, the unfortunate
lunatic who is suffering with religious
mania, and who is confined IN the
Federal jail awaiting the unwinding
OF the Official red tape necessary before
he is sent to an insane asylum, prayed
and cursed In turn last night.
Jailer Wilkinson grants the man all
the liberty he can, and gives him the
freedom OF the small enclosure called
the yard.
Last night Reynolds ceased his pray
ing and singing long enough TO cuss
the jailers and guards, employing
string of profanity several yards long.
Then he sank to the ground and
prayed that a spirit would come and
release him from the accursed pit.
"I'n give you one minute TO come,
he said, after offering his feryent 5e'
tition. The insane man paused a III.
tie while then, jumping to his feet,
said: ~ don't care a rap. II you
wont come and release your supplicat-
ing child you needn't to, but need
you worse now than l ever did before
IN my life. It's your turn now to dc
something for me.
