A TRUE BOWEL
CLEANSER.
A Remedy That Purifes the Bowels
Mildly, Strengthens the Bowel
Channels and Promotes
Regularity.
A General System Tonic.

By no means the least of the valuable
properties of Prick1y Ash Bitters is its
admirable effect in the bowels. Any
active cathartic will empty the bowels,
but ii takes more than mere cathart1c
to cure them. What is needed is tonic,
a restorative; one that will strengthen
the bowel channels and prevent the re-
turn of constipated conditions. Prickly
Ash Bitters contains these desirable
qualities to a remarkable degree. 1t IS
a mild laxative that moves the bowels
comfortably, the drastic bowel drenching
and para1izing effect of strong cathartics
being noticeably absent. 1t not only
empties the bowels comfortably, but 1t
regulates the bile-the liquid which
moistens the inner lining of the bowels
and makes it possible for the waste
products of the body to pass through,
aud finally, it relieves those conditions
produced by imperfect digestion which
fills the stomach and bowels with gas
and fermenting matter. Prickly Ash
Bitters is in short a handy household
medicine and should be kept in every
home. There are constantly occurring
in every family little ailments which are
easily checked if given attention but
which prove serious if neglected and 1t
is in correcting these troubles that
Prickly Ash Bitters has established its
claim to be a family medicine" 1t
relieves women of sick headache, eour
stomach, dizziness and promotes regu-
1arity in the monthly periods. Children
with worms, those who are sickly, rest
less and irritable, who eat too much
candy or sweet stuff, who complain of
collie or disturbance in the bowels, will
Immediately improve and grow strong,
rosy and cheerful under its cleansing
and invigorating influence.
Accept no substitute. Insist having

large figure in red on the front label

THE LATE GEORGE GISSING.
Some Personal Traits Of Literary Recluse.

The late George Gissing was such a recluse
that very few stories about him have found
their way into print A cousin of his. MI W.
Gssng Stannard has written TO The Chrom-
cle." calling attention to a curious coincidence
in the matter Of the novelists death II oc-
CURED on the day, twenty-three years
later as that of his father. who died on Decem-
Der 2S 1870. Mr.. Stannard points out that most.
II all. OF the writers who have recently no
ticed Gissing's works omit to mention his hrst
novel Workers in the DAWN which was pub
iished about twenty -four years ago. Despite
the fact" adds Mr. Stannard that so many of
hts works wore a drab. still those who knew him
hes, recognized that the drab was the color Of
his experience. and that beneath the surface
there was much golden sunshine" II is said
that Gissngs care and conscientiousness IN his
work were reflected even in the character of his
handwriting. His penmanship was microscopic,
and vas the Amusement OF the Compositor. He
wrote upon sheets of foolscap: and upon one
sheet he would place three thousand words. or
about ten times the quantity reckoned for by
the ordinary writer. and. like his writing In its
larger and literary aspects, every word WAS
considered legible-- Referring to the appre-
citation which he received In England. a CORE
apondent OF The Chronicle writes in this wise:
His circle indeed limited. but it sin
admiration for his books made reasonable

conversation presently turned In the direction
| Of books. and soon each found that the other
WAS collecting first editions OF GIssing. Mutual
| invitations followed. and one result was a happy
marriage between one traveller and the sister
OF the other. The writer has the best of reasons
! for knowing this to be true: and he cannot help
thinking that poor Gissng would have liked to
