He was told that the pearl was of take great value, and that he would better it to Biederman, of Vi¬ enna, which he did, and was naturally asked where lie had obtained possession of such a rarity.

It is by regulating the bodily organs and pro¬ moting digestion and assimilation, that the parchment hue indicative of ill-health, is banished from the cheeks. To rectify the fault of a sallow complexion, use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, an invigorant and alterative which removes those obstacles to renewed strength, physical comfort and personal at¬ tractiveness—an imperfect digestion and se¬ cretion, and a disordered condition of the bowels. Persistence in the use of this inesti¬ mable corrective and tonic will assuredly re¬ sult in renewed physical regularity and vigor, will tend to increase bodily substance, and cause the glow and clear color of health to re¬ turn to the sallow, wasted cheek. « practical Science.” Under the above heading, the St. Croix Courier, oi St. Stephen, N.
