NORWALK

An Enterprising Republican Journal, especially devoted to Local News and Interests.

A WEIRD SUICIDE.

He was called by his friends the handsome
Signoles; he called himself the Vicomto Gon-
tran-Joseph Dc Signoles. Master of a con-
siderable fortune, he cut, as you may say,
quitcafiguro in society, his bright and at-
tractive manner, a certain natural grace and
a pair of handsome eyes captivating the wo-
men and rendering him in great demand in
all the saldns. Known to be an excellent
swordsman and a still better shot with a
pistol, he lived the peaceful life of a well- to
do bachelor. “Though when I do fight,” said
he, “I- shall undoubtedly select the pistol;
with that weapon I am sure of killing my
man.” .

IVell, one evening ho‘uccompanicd two of
his friends. and their wives to the theatre,
and after the spectacle asked them to join
him in an ice at Tortoui’s. They had been in
this famous restaurant but a moment or two
when he perceived that a. gentleman seated
at an adjoining tab'lc obstinatcly kept his
eyes upon one of the ladies of his party, to
her great- annoyance and embarrassment. At
last she said to her husband:

“That man who is watching mo so closely—
do you know him? I do not.”

“No, not at all,” replied the husband, _,who
hadn’t noticed him until she spoke.

“It is very unpleasant,” she continued, half
jesting. half serious; “be positively spoils my
ico”—--

“Nonsense!” said the husband, shrugging
his shoulders. “Pay no attention to him. If
we were to notice all the insolents we meet
we should never end.” -

But the vicomto had risen brusquely. It
was out of the question to allow an imperti-
neat unknown to spoilers. ice that he had of-
fered to a lady. Besides, it was to him the
insult; was directed, since it was through him
and for him that his friends had. entered the
cafe. It was decidedly his affair.

“Sir,” said be, approaching the table and
addressing the stirrer, “you have a manner of
regarding the ladies of my party that I can-
iiot tolerate. I beg that you will at once
cause your rudeness. ” '

“Go away, go away,” the other answered;
“leave me in peace." -

“Take care, monsicur, take care,” De Sig-
nolcs murmured; “you will force me to ex-
treme measures.” ,

The man responded only by a word—an ob-
scene. word—that sounded from one end of
the hall to the other, and acted like a spring,
causing the consominateurs’ to town about,
the waiters to pivot on their heels like whirli-
gigs, and the cashiers at the counter to drop
their change and give a. simultaneous twist,
as if they, too, were automatons obeying the
same screw. 'l-‘Oi' a moment there was omin-
ous silence. broken suddenly by the sound of
a blow; the vicomte had slapped his adver-
sary in the in '0. Every body rushed to in-
terposo, and cards were exchanged.

Once more at homo Gontra‘ii dc Siguoles
promenadcd for a while up and down his
chamber too agitated and excited to reflect
upon anything. One idea alone possessed his
soul—tho duel; beyond that he thought Of
nothing. He had done what he ought; every
one said he could have done nothing else.

The first thing to be done was to secure his
seconds; he must go as soon as it was morn-
ing and attend to it. But whom should he
ask? He thought over all the people of his
acquaintance of high position and celebrity,
and finally decided upon the Marquis do la
Tour-Noiro and Col. Bourdin, a. great noble-
man and a brave soldier. The choice was
capital; their names would look well in the
Then he perceived that he was
thirsty, and, draining glass after glass of
water, began to promenade again, full of
strength and energy. Indifferent to conse-
quences and resolved upon all, he would ex-
act the most rigorous and dangerous condi-
tions; he would demand a serious duel, a
terribly serious one; his adversary would
doubtless withdraw and forward him an
apology. ~

He took up the card that he had drawn
from his pocket and thrown upon the table,
and read its again, as if he had not ah'eady
read it once in the cafe at a. glance, and a sec-
ond time in the fincre by the light of the gas
lamps: “George Lamil, 51 Rue Monce.”
Nothing more. He examined anew the as-
sembled letters, to him full of a strange and
confused meaning. Who was this man?
What did he do? Why did he look at his
friend’s wife in that rude, inexplicable way? ,

For a. while he remained immovable, up-
right and thinking, his gaze always bent
upon the card. Anger awakened in him
against that morsel of paper—a furious
hatred, mingled with a feeling of uneasiness.
The whole thing was a bore, and he took up
a knife lying open under his hand and dashed
it through the printed. name as if plunging it
to the heart of an enemy. There was no
doubt of it; he had to fight. Should he
choose the pistol or the sword? Asthe in-
sulted one the choice was his. With the
sword he risked little; but with the pistol,
dangerous as it was, he had a. chance of mak-
ing his adversary withdraw. It was very
rare indeed that duels with swords resulted
disastrously, reciprocal. prudence holding the
combatants on guard the one against the
other; the wounds were never deep. With
the pistol he risked his life seriously, but

 

also, as already stated, had the chance to

withdraw from the affair with all the honors
of the situation and without arriving at an
encounter. -

“I must be firm,” he. said aloud; “if I am
firm he will be frighten .”

The sound of h_is voice made him tremble
and he looked about him. He was growing
nervous, but he drank another glass of water
and began to prepare for bed.

“I have all day tomorrow," he said mhim-
self as he blew out the light. “I must sleep
now, in order to be ca .”

He was very comfortable between his
sheets, but nevertheless found it impossible
even to doze. He turned and twisted, laid
upon his back awhile, rolled upon his right
side, then upon his left, but all in vain. He
was thirsty again, and got up to drink.

“It is imposible that I am afraid!” he said
at last. Then why should his heart best so
wildly at every noise in the chamber? Why,
when the clock was about to sound, did the
grating of the spring startle him till, he was
forced to open his mouth to breathe, the op-
pression of his chest was so great? He began
to reason with himself upon the possibility of
No, certainly
not, since he was resolved to go” to the end,
even had he the power to prevent the duel.
Neither did he tremble, but he felt himself
profoundly moved—so troubled that he asked
himself over and over again: “Could it be
possible that he was afraid, and in spite of
himself?”

This doubt, this dread, this inquietude pur-
sued him. What if a force more powerful

than his will, niforce dominating and irresist-

ible, should conquer him! What would be-
come of him? He would go on the ground,
of course, since he wished to go there, but if
he should tremble or lose consciousness? And

‘ he thought of his position, his reputation and

his name. ,, .

' All at once he was seized with a strange de-
sire to look at himself in the glass; he got up
and relighted the candle, but when he beheld

. the image Inflected in the polished siirface he

did not recognize it; it was as strange to him
as a face that he had never known. His

eyes appeared sunken and double their usual

size, and he was pale; yes, pale - as the dead.
He remained before the mirror- lost in aston-
ishment.

“And to-morrow,” he thought, “at this
hour, perhaps I shall be dead. This person in
front of Inc—the me that I see in the glass—
will, be no .morel I behold myself now; I

, know that I am living; yet in the twenty-four

hours I may be lying on , that couch lifeless.

.. witbclosed eyes, With body cold, inanimate

and untenanted,” and taming to the couch he‘
seemed to socbimself extended upon his back

on those same sheets that he had but a mo-

ment ago quitted. , -

Already he had the haggard visage,‘ the
stiffness of these'who will move no more.
Then he was afraid of the bed, and in order
to avoid the sight of it passed into the smok-
ing room, and, lighting a cigar, began to
pace up and down. He was cold, and, going
totho bell, was about to summon his valet,
butstOpped, his hand upon the cord—tho
manwould know that be was afraid! He
made the fire himself. his hands trembling
nervously. His head swam, his thoughts
were wandering, and a feeling of uncertainty,
of weakness, invaded his [limbs as if he had
been drinking. ,

An he asked hii'fiself incessantly, “What
must do? What will become of me?” He
went to the window and drew the'curtains;
day was breaking, a summer day, and the
glowing vens bathed in a sea of rosy
color the c ty, the walls and the roofs, this
flood of light the caress of the rising sun to
the awakening world. And with this light a
sudden gay and cheerful hope .took possession
of the vicomte’s heart. Was be mud to al-

low himself to be thus terrorized by fear,

when nothing had been decided upon, and
even before his seconds had seen those of this
George Lamlli He made his thilet aiid_went
out with a. firm stop

He repeated to himself as he went along:

“I must be emphatic, very emphatic, to
prove that I am not afraid.”

His seconds, the marquis and the colonel,
plead themselves at his service, and after an
energetic handshaking discussed the condi-
tions.

“It is to be a serious duel, of course?” said
ttecolonel. -

 

 

 

NORWALK, CONN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, i887.

‘WEI-ffln'l-cplied the vicomto.

“Pistols to be the weapons?” _

“Precisely; pistols to be the weapons; paces,
twenty; fire at the word, the arm to be cle-
vntcd instead of lowered, and an exchange
of balls until one or the other receives a
mortal wound. ”

“Good! admirable!” cried the seconds lllvil.
breath; “you have chosen well; the chances
are all in your favor;” and they parted, Dc
Sigiiclcs returning to his homo again to await.
them. His agitation, for n. time ullaycd, now
momentarily increased. . He felt in his iii-nus,
his legs, his breast, a sort of shuddering, a
continuous vibration: ho was unable to restrain
in one place either sitting or standing. His
tongue was dry, and clung as if glued to the
sticky palate. He tried to breakfast, but was
unable to eat. He had heard that drink
would give courage, and he ordered a carafe
of rum, and drunk without stopping six little
glasses fall. A heat like fire ran through his
blood, followed by u dulliug of the senses.

“I’ve found the means now,” he thought;
“things go better. "

But attbo end of an hour the carafe was
empty, and his agitation had returned in-
tolerably. He felt a mad desire to roll upon
the floor, to scream and bite! Evening fell.
A ring at the bell gave him such a feeling of
stiflingthat he had scarcely strength enough

' to rise and receive his seconds. He was afraid

to speak to them—to say “Bon jour,” or a
single word—they would discover all {ruin
the alteration in his voice.

“Well, all is managed,” said the colonel
cheerfully, “according to the conditions
named. Your adversary at first claimed the
choice of weapons, but soon yielded. He has
accepted everything, and his seconds are
officers.” ,

“You will excuse us if we run away at
once,” the marquis added; “we have still a
thousand things to arrange and a surgeon to
secure, as you know the combat ceases only
after a serious wound, and bulls‘sometimcs
play the strangest tricks. The ground must
also be near a house where you can be carried
if necessary; however, we have several houis
before us." ‘

The vicomtc again murmured his thanks,
and the seconds departed.

Once more alone, it seemed to him that he
would go mud.

The servant; having lighted the lamps, he
seated himself at the table to write letters
and his auto mortem wishes, but, having
traced at the top of the page, “This is my
last will and testament,” he got up with u
shudder and moved away. He was incapable
of writing a connected sentence, of taking a
resolution or of deciding anything. He had
to fight; he was unable to escape that. How-
ever, 110 did not wish to escape it; he desired,
as he had always desired and intended, to
fight to the end. Nevertheless he know well
that, in spite of every effort of his mind, all
the application of his will, he would be unable
to keep up the strength necessary to take him
to the place of meeting.

He sought to picture to himself the combat,
his attitude and the bearing of his adversary.
From time to time his teeth chattcred in his
mouth with an audible noise. Taking up the
dueling code of Chateau Villai-d, be en-
dcavorcd to read. After this he wondered if
his adversary had over fought before. Was
he of rank, and how could he find out? He
recalled the Baron dc Vaux’sjiook upon noted
duelists, and ran through it from end to end.
The name of George Lamil was not there.
Still, he must be a. good shot, also he would
never have accepted so readily the deadly
pistol and the conditions.

He Opened in passing a. box of . silver
mounted ebony placed upon his table, and,
taking up the pistol lying on the cushion, put
himself in position and raised his arm. But
he shook from head to foot—the weapon
pointed in every direction.

“It is impossible!” he cried at last, “impos-
sible—I cannot fight in this condition 1” and
turning the dangerous toy lie gazed into its
mouth—that little hole, so small, so dark,
and yet charged with death. He thought of
tho dishonor before him, the whisperings at
the clubs, the smiles in the salons, tho scorn
of the women, the sneers of the papers and
the insults thrown upon cowards. With

his eyes still fastened upon the pistol, it,

seemed to him that a. flame sudddenly leaped
from the muzzle—he saw that it was loaded,
and he found in this a strange, inexplicable

Joy. ~

If on the ground he had not the calm and
cool exterior it was necessary he should have
in the face of an adversary, he would be lost
forever, sullied, branded with infamy and
chased from society. And that calmness,
that coolness, he did not have—he knew it,
he felt it.

Nevertheless, Inc was brave, he wished—the
thought touched upon in his mind was never
finished, for with a gesture of despair, insert-
ing the pistol in hismouth, De Signoles pulled
the trigger!

When the valet, attracted by the report,
rushed into the chamber he found the vi-
comte dead upon his back. A jet of blood
had sputtered the paper on the table and
made a splash like a great red seal just above
the words:

“This is my last will and testament.”—

Queer Teaching in England.

Dr. J essopp, himself an old headmaster,
makes some remarks as good as they are true:
“I once caught some melancholy children at a
certain elementary school engaged in a
grammar lesson, and, shocked at the morose
and somber aspect of affairs, I desperately in-
terpolated an altogether extraneous question:
‘Little girl, that’s all right—but what do you
know of Admiral Nelson?’ ‘Plcase, sir, we
only do nouns and adjectives,’ was the
prompt reply. ‘We have not got into verbs.’
She actually lived within a stone’s throw of a.
house which belonged to Nelson’s father, and
in which tome believe that the Norfolk hero
was born; but my lords encourage adverbs
and discourage admirals. ‘If I were to draw
up a history of my parish in words of not
more than three syllables, and to weave in a

number of interesting facts about the general _

history of England, and tell them little
stories to make their little flesh creep, would
my lordslet it pass as a reading book?’ I
asked of an authority. ‘N—n—oi I don’t.
think they would,’ was the cautious answax
‘Because, you see,’ etc., etc, etc—I was too
crushed to give due attention to the rest.”

Was the authority of the East Anglica-
school inspector, who, dellghtingin “common-
sense qucstioiis,” propounded this: “If I met
you coming down the village street and said
‘Animal! animalt’ what would you say?” The
right answer remains a mystery; the real one
ran: “Sea! Ishudsaa ycow was a. fule.”
Undnunted, the examiner next asked why
the seaissalt. He got three answers; one:
“Because of the Yarmouth blonters;” one,
“To keep the drowned folk sweet,” and one
from a pious little maiden, “Because God
made it so. "—The Athenteum.

An Astounding Piece of News.

A fashionable young lady acquaintance of
mine, who has but recently returned to
Brooklyn from a trip abroad, brings bmk an
astounding piece of news. She informed me
the other evening that a strong reaction was
setting in among the American marriageable
girls against the titled style of 'suitor. “The
American girls who have married noblemen
have, in so many instances. led miserable
lives, that it has created a panic all along the ‘
line,” she said, half smilingly. “The noble-
men are not always to blame either. .You
see they have often been brought up in the
most selfish fashion, and they naturally im-
agine the obligation should be all on one side.
Then it is very- diillcult for an American

"young lady to adapt herself tothe life abroad.

She finds all manner of stumbling blocks
thrown in her way, and altogether I do not
see how she can possibly be as happy with a
foreigner as she would with a good clear
headed common sense American husband,
even if she is called countess or duchcss.
Then there is another drawback. These titled
foreigners may recognize as American wo-
men, but they have a horrid way of snubbing
our fathers and brothers, and I am glad to
see that, American girls are beginning to
come to their senses—“Rambler" in Brook-
lyn Eagle.

Phase of Modern Journalism,

One of the-.inost curious phases of modern
journalism is the utter obliteration that fol-
lows a few days or weeks’ rattling storm of
comment on.one special topic or event. Noth-
ing else is spoken or written about but this
happy or unhappy incident. ' It may be mur-
der, damning a new play, the beauty of a
woman, a Parnell letter or a gentlemanlyfl)
prize fight, and then comes a» silence that
rivals the unresponsiveness of the tomb.—

Guiteau after he- shot Garfield, has recently

The devil gets in some of his finest work
when he really persuades an egotist that he is

SCOTLAND’S SUNDAY.

THE EDINBURGH SABBATH COM-
MENCES ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

Everybody In Best “lb and Tucker
Cliurcliwaril Bound—Reeling Off Scrip-
tures by the Yard—Silliness of" the
Streets—Tine Churches.

One must come from the north into Edin-
burgh, either by Fife or Stirling. Come by
Stirling by all means, for there is no castle in
Europe that sits so proudly on itsv'grent rock
as beautiful Stirling. But as you .love your
case never go into the, Scotch capital on a
Sunday. Nowhere in‘ all the world does re-
ligion cramp its devotees with so tight 0. fit as
in Scotland. Perhapiho Japanese and the
negroes are the only epic who really enjoy
their religion. In Germany no one seems to
have any. In Fi'nncc,Spaiii and Italy they
pray in the morning for fear of hell fire, and
dance in the afternoon with joy because their
duty is done. In England, they pray because
their forefathers prayed had because it is one
of the customs of the untry; then they pass
the rest of the day as 'lcasantlyps they can
without giving a bad: example to the lower
orders. In America—Well, in America it can
not he said that religion is allowed to inter-
fere seriously with the comfort of any one’s
Sunday, and therefore, to an' American the
full fledged, divinity hedged“ Scotch Sabbath
is something of a curiosity. -

The Sabbath had uhgeu‘iy'commenced on
the Saturday night, all we droye past the
great shining hosteh'ies bu-l’rinéé’s street to a
cozy little hotel on St. Andi'ew’s"square. A
bustling landlady and three buxom maids
met us in the. little vestibule, where a great
bowl of the little, white, frosty narcissusmade
the air sweet and fresh.

Tun ONLY FRIVOLI'I'Y. .

Every one—mun, woinan and child—seems
to love the little white flower, and to wear it
as familiarly as they {wear the, buttons on
their coats. But this Was the only frivolity
that could be seen in Edinburgh on this holy
Saturday evening. For the Sabbath had ul-
i'cady begun with preparation and prayer,
and there was even a stillness iii the streets
such as is unwonted on a. Saturduynight in
less holy communities. -~

Either the bustling landlady or one of the
buxom maids left a little notice on the toilet
table to the effect that services took place on
Sunday, in the morning from 11 to 1, in the
afternoon from 2:15 to 4, and in the evening
from 6:30 to 8, and in some more devout chap-
els from 6 to 8:30. The great keeper of items
will remember on the last day which one we
chose. When we came into the bright, wide,
clean streets next morning, all Edinburgh
was there in its best bib and tucker, church-
Will‘d bound. The curious part of it to an
American eye was that the men went to
church just as scrupulously as the women, for
at home religion is for women alone.

There never was a Scotchman yet, from
Donce David Deans forward or back, who
could not reel Off the Scriptures by the yard.
and the flavor it gives their conversation
makes it rich and strong. They looked to be
a. dogmatic and thoroughly convinced set of
men as they plodded along through the Sub-
bath stillness Of the classic city, composing

» themselves as they went; for prayers. Mothers,

wives and sisters were disposed to relaxn

-little of their usual Sunday severity—for

there were whole flocks of lads, from 14 to 18
years, who looked quccrly enough in their
short roundabout jackets, tall shiny hats and
big white collars, in the groups. We heard
that it was vacation time in the big public
schools of Great Britain, and these would be
merry lads were home ‘for their holiday.
Solemn little men they looked to be, with
something faintly suggestive of Charles
Dickens’ boys in their manniéh clothes, but
they become common sights enough as we
wandered farther south, and the utility coal:
of the American youth began to seem old
fashioned instead.
STILLNESS OF THE STREETS.

The curious stillness of the streets finally
began to explain itself, for every horse in
Edinburgh was having his Sabbath in his
comfortable stall, and not a wheel rolled in
the great, clean, hilly streets. Even the
ti'amways were silent and deserted—no one
hears Of a street car from the time they leave
New York till they get back again—and
every one who wanted to go to church went
on foot.

There are plenty of churches for them
all, though the traveler cares for little else in
that line than historic St. Giles, whose sharp
steeple loomed temptingly at us through the
mild haze that hung over the classic city only
to make it more beautiful.

We did find a godless young fellow stand-
ing by a hansom cab, down in Prince’s street,
that beautiful terrace thoroughfare which is
the pride of said Reekie, and we did rattle
along in it through discomfort for a mile or
two, with the vain hope of seeing some sights
and not losing an entire day. But we soon
perceived by the amazed faces of the multi-
tude who arrested themselves and gazed in
stony horror at the mere sight of us, that we
were really shocking their honest prejudices.
SO we alighted, much discomfited and hu-
miliated. We gave the cabmanasound rating
-—first, for driving his cab on a Sunday and
breaking the Sabbath himself, and then for
permitting us, who were strangers to the
country, to break it over again.

But the cabby refused to feel badly; pro-
claimed himself English born, with nocare
for Scotch nonsense, and'for his part had
never seen any-American who Innew when
Sunday come. This gratuitious reflection on
the entire nation we passed coldly, and pro-
ceeded to do a. little sight seeing on foot.
There isa long dip, like the swing of a ham-
mock, between the great castle on its impreg-
nable hill at the one end, and the towers and
monuments and column of the Calton hill on
the bothers—BetsyB. in San Francisco Argo-

THE MOTIVESV OF MEN

Who Gallantly Offer Seats to Pretty
- Women in the Cars.

It was on the elevated. A young angel
with anew spring suit and an independent
set of the shoulders had no idea that her voice
could be heard above the rattle of the cars as
she talked to a second young angel in a pink
and green bonnet and an Easter smile. They
embarked at Twenty-third street. As several
hundred other persons were in the cars, there
was about as much room left for them as
there would be for a. pair of humming birds
in a box of sardines. Three gallants saw that
they were pretty, and sprang up to give them
seats. The one with the Easter smile was
just about to perform the simultaneous sit
down and “thank you” act, whenthe one
with the independent shoulders held her com-
panion up with one hand, grabbed a strap
with the other, and said: “No. thanks; we
can stand.”

“Don’t you take it, Lillie,” she whispered.
“They’re only offering it to you because

you’regood looking, and then they’ll stand.

and grin at you all the way up. If they
won’t give up the seats because it’s a. lady,
whether she is pretty or not, then let them
keep them, I say. I used to think men were
awfully kind and courteous to the ladies In
New York cars, but I’ve found out better.”

“Why, Mollie, what makes you talk so?
I'm sure I never have to stand.” .

“Of course you don’t. You’re pretty.

Neither do I, except when I particularly need
to sit down, and then I might attend all day,
for all the gentlemen in the New York cars
care. If I’m just starting down town, and
feeling bright and lively, and don’t care
whether I have a. seat or not, as soon as I get
into a. car half a dozen young jackaimpes are
up on their feet, bowing and asking If I won’t
take this seat or that seat. But just let me
be tired to death and stupid feeling and look-
ing, with the color out of my face, no dim-
ples in my cheeks, and bundles in my arms!
Not one of them moves. They Just look
up at me, say to themselves, ‘Huh,
not much to look at,’ and then they
are too busy reading their papers to see me if
I drOpped. You know Jack and his Wife—-
how pretty she is’t,l Well, she’s been sick,
and she looks dreadful. The other day Jack
and I brought her in from the country and
we had to take the elevated up home. She
could never have stood the long ride in the
carriage. Before we got in she said: ‘Ob, It’s
all right if the cars are crowded. I always
get a ,seat.’ Well, the cars were not very
crowded, but all the seats were full, and did
she get one of them? She did after awhile,
but it was another lady who gave itto her.
She just clungto chk and, cried against his
coat sleeve, she was p’aining so, and the men
looked at her as thoiighsho might be a. show,
but she was too sick and tired to be pretty,
and not one of them offered her a seat. The
same thing ' happened yesterday. She and
Jack were down town and she got all tired
out; but she hadto stand almOst all the way
home, until some lady saw how she was suffer-
ing and gave her a. seat. Wait till she’s well
and pretty again and they’ll all be jumping
up to let her sit down. But it won't be from
politenem. It will be because they. like to
put a good looking woman under obligations
to them.” .

“Well, I never thought of it before; but it's
so, I know. They won’t get me under any
obligations to them after this until I am not
able to stand,” declared she of the Easter
smile.

“And when you get that way none of them
will offer ycu aseut,” retorted the independent
shoulders, as both girls left the car at the sta-
tion—New York Sun.

t I‘wlsn to say to you that I have been sufierin
, for thelsst five years With a severe itching al

' over. I have heard of Hop Bitters and have tried,

. it. I have used up four bottles, and 'it has done
me more good than all the doctors and medicines

I that they could use on or with me. I am old and
, poor but feel to bless you for such a relief from
. our medicine and torment of the doctors. I
live had fifteen doctors at me. one vs the

3 seven ounces of solution of arsenic; anot er took

t ‘ We confess that we are perfectly amazed at
the run of your Hop Bitters. We never had any-
thing like it, and never heard of the like. The

thirty years, and has seen the rise of Hostetter’s
Vinegar and all other bltters and tent medl-
ciues, but never did, any of them in their best
. days,:begln to have the run that Hop Bitters
2 have. ' ' We can't get enough of them. We

MISERABLENESS.

The most wonderful and marvelous names in
cases where persons are sick or pining away from
a condition of miserableness that ‘no one knows
what ails them (profitable patients for doctors),
is obtained by the use of Hop Bitters. They begin

to care from the first dose, and keep it up until
perfect health and strength is restored.

“I believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for
clergemeu and other public men to be led into giv-
‘ lug testimonials to uack doctors or vile stuiis

Never Forget This.

If you are sick Hop Bitters will surely aid
Nature in making you well when all else fails.

If you are costive or dyspeptic, or are suffering
from any other of the numerous diseases of the
stomach or bowels. it, is your own fault if you
remain ill, for Hop Bitters is a sovereign remedy
in all such complaints.

If you are wasting away with any form of Kid-
ney disease, stop tempting Death this moment,
and turn for a cure to flop Bitters.

If you are nervous use Hop Bitters.

If you are a frequenter, or a resident of a miss-
matic district, barricade your system against the

If you have rough pimply or saliow skin, bad

blood, an sweetest breath and health.
