SMALL BEGINNINGS
Make great endings sometimes. Ail
ments that we are apt to consider triv
ial orten grow, through neglect, into
atrocious maladies, dangerous in them'
selves, and productive of others. It is
the disregard of the earlier indications
or 111 'health which leads to the estab
lishment of all Borts of maladies on a
unronlc basis. Moreover, there are cer
tain disorders incident to the season,
such as malaria and rheumatism.

THE UNEXPECTED DISCHARGE OF
" A CANNON
Close by would not have a more dis
turbing effect upon the nerves which
are vigorous, than an ordinary noise
upon UhosA which are weak and un
strung. As a nervine, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is unrivalled. By pro
moting digestion and assimilation they
overcome that gastric disorder, which
is the most prolific cause of nervous
debility, and which, eo long as it exists,
defeats in a large measure the action
of sedatives and opiates. Such reme
dies, moreover, necessitate the use of
increasing doses, and finally cease to
act altogether, except in dangerous
quantities. They never reach the foun
tain head of the trouble, and quiet the
nerves only by eeml-paralyztng them.
Equally objectionable are fiery unmedl-
cated alcoholic stimulants. Kidney,
bladder and liver trouble, malaria, con
stipation, and rheumatism are relieved
by the Bitters, which also promotes
appetite and nightly repore.

The result of Its use is a speedy gain

laying up a store of vitality against
the unavoidable draughts which old

The objections urged against Indio
In the past by the large numbers who
otherwise would have been glad to take
advantage of its beneficial climate, has
been a lack of suitable accommoda
tion. The Southern Pacific Company,

lightful climate.
(From the San Francisco Argonaut.)
"in the heart of the great desert of
tne Colorado whloh the Southern Pa-
cllio road traverses there is an oasis
called Indio, which, In our opinion, li
the sanitarium of the earth. We be
Ueve, from personal Investigation, that
for certain invalids, the'-e is no spot ot
this planet so favorable.
O. T. Stewart, M. D writes: "The
purity of the air, and the eternal sun
shine, Oil one with wonder and delight.
Nature has accomplished sc
much that there remains but little for
man to do. As to Its possibilities as a
ncaitn resort, here is the most per
fect sunshine, with a temperature al
ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil,
ror rain is an unknown factor; pure
oxygen, dense atmosphere and pure
water. What more can be desired?
It is the place, above all others, for
lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu
matics. Considering the number of
sufferers who have been cured, I have
no hesitancy In recommending this
genial oasis as the haven of the afflict
ed."
