kindly smile; his ever-active and
persevering assistance in all that
related to the business of the city.
The citizens will miss his counsel, os
it was always conscientious and de?
voted solely to their interest. Let
us endeavor to emulate his virtues,
and tbrow the mantle of charity over
his human frailties, whatever they
may have been. To his disconsolate
widow and fatherless sous, the sym?
pathy of this board is freely aud
kindly tendered, for the great lose
they have sustained, in a loving hus?
band, a kind parent, a provident
{>rovider. As citizens, wo mourn the
OSS of an upright, honest man-the
noblest work of God. Be it, there?
fore,
Resolveil, That in the death of Al?
derman John Stork, this board bas
lost au able and conscientious coun?
cillor.

sympathize with his sorrow-stricken

THE MISERAni.ES OE THIS
BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL WORLD
ARB THE UT 8 PE PT lc S- Wi thon t a
good digestion there can neither be bodily
comfort nor mental enjoyment.
Botween the stomach and the brain
there is a close and wonderful alliance.
If the one is disordered the other ia
gloomy, dejected, incapable of effort, and
indifferent to all that makes life agreeable
to the healthy.
Ia this a condition that any rational hu?
man being is willing to endure, when the
means of certain, immediate and perma?
nent relief can bo obtained everywhere?
The Dyspeptic baa his fato in his own
banda. BT he chooaoa to banish forever
the disorder that racks bia body and dis?
turbs the mind with nameless horrors, ho
has only to step to tho nearest drug store
and procure a supply of
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
No phase of Dyspepsia has ever yet ro
aisted the alterative, tonio and anti-bilious
operation of this potent vegetable specific.
It literally regenerates the lethargic sto?
mach; rouses into healthy action the dor?
mant liver; puts to flight the diemal fan?
cies that beset the mind; gently relieves
and regulates the bowels; strengthens the
enfeebled nerves; restores the appetite,
aud makes, as it were, a now creature of
the desponding and debilitated invalid.
Ladies who huffer from indigestion have
only to take a small dose of this pure vege?
table corrective, once or twice a day, to
secure entire exemption from the pains
and penaltiea of a weak stomach ami that
?ierfect functional regularity, which but
ow of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy.
