Miss Sarah Dean died at the home of her brother Mr. H. I Dean in Peters burg, Pa., on Wednesday, April 2 lti7. Her s was a life of self-sacrihee and self deiiiaL At an early age she assumed control of the houshohl of her brother, and the care of his motherless children. How well she performed this service is known of all men. She was more than a mother to them: nursed them in their in fancy, caret for them in later years, and when tho eldest iu the early springtime of her life "sought her chamber to lie down and die" Miss Dean was her sup port and her comforter, and it was sue who closed the eyes of her lieloved niece when the death damp gathered heav ily upon them aud her "breath came feebly on." Later her mother, w ho was an invalid for years, was nursed and cared for by her until she too closed her eyes in that dreamless sleep from which no oue awakens. All these cares and charges made sad inroads on a constitution none too strong and Miss Dean's health began to fail. She suffered several attacks of grip, but was on a fair way or reco very w hen the adverse verdict in the case of Dr. M itch ell her hrolhcr-iii-law prostrated her and she gradually failed, each day be coming weaker uulil the end came. She was a sweet tempered woman, a christian in the fullast sense with a char ity that embraced tho w hole world. Sho had been a member or the M. E. church from eu ly ehil. Hi. Kd and in her quiet, unostentatious manner followed iu tin. footsteps or the "lonely Xazarino" dur ing the whole of her life. Plain in man ner, plain in dress, she took no pride iu anything save iier brothers and sisters and their childreu and friends. She walked in that narrow path that leads to immortality with a conscientious under standing of its requirements and its To wards, and she sweetly breathed out her ssitlis life in the alisolute assurance that a crown or righteousness was laid up for her, and not lor her alone lut 'or "ail thoe who love His appearing." Hosts of friends mourn their loss, but "for her to live was Christ, to die was gain," ami, the inestimable gain to her no one can denv; and this lieautiful spring morning, if1, iu the Divine econo my sho should to allowed to know the void in aching hearts she doubtless won ders why they mourn. She leaves live brothers and two sis ters, one of whom is Dr. Mitchell's wife. She, too. was stricken sorely whon the news of the tin. ling of the jury reached her. and is only keeping up on account of her family and friends. It seems meet that in this glad spring time when all nature is rejoicing with gladness when tho joyous song of the birds are heard on every band, and I -autism s (lowers are bursting forth the har binger f.r brighter things than have pone Is-fore her pure npirit should have been surrendered t. its final rest.

The condition arises from an inability to eat and digest food. In fact food does more harm tbau J good because it ferments and putrefies in the stomach, developing poisonous disor ders. What is required is that the stomach be made to perform its duties. The Shaker Digestive Cordial is a food already di gested and a digester of foods as well. It will make the stomach healthy.
