'| vonderful It is Pleasant to the-Tastd as the Sweetest Re It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Hilk. ia ay This wonderful Neérvine Tonic has only recently been introdubed into this country hy the proprictors and manufacturers of the Great South American WNervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. / This medicine has completely solved the problem of the curd of indi- gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system: It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonite qualities which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength- ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permancnt value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It js a marvelous cure for nerv- ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in" life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over thé danger: This great strengthener and cura- tive is of inestimable vulue to the aged and infirm, becanse its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life, It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who wiil use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAI REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF Nervousness, roken Constitution, Nervous Prostration, Debility of Old Age, Nervous Headache, Indigestion and Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Heartburn and Sour Stomach, Female Weakness, Weight aud Tenderness in Stomach, Nervous Chills, Loss of Appetite, Paralysis, Frightful Dreams, Nervous Paroxysms and Dizziness and Ringing in the Ears, Nervous Choking, Weakness of Extremities and {ot Flashes, Fainting, Palpitation of the Heart, Impure and Tmpoverished Blood, Mental Despondency, Boils and Carbuncles; Sleeplessness, Scrofula, St. Vitus' Dance, " Berofulous Swellings and Ulcers, Nervousness of Females, Consumption of the Lungs, Nervousness of Old Age, Catarrh of the Lungs, Neuralgia, Bronchitis and Chronic Cough, Pains Liver Com plaint, A * Bommer Complaint of Infants, : muny other complaints cured by this wonderful ; Nervine Tonic. i NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervifte Tonic, which is' very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear a8 the nerves recover, As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forees of the body are carried on, itis the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment Yiecessary to repair thé wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. for this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be suppliell. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This scecounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forma of nervous de- rangement. CRAWFORDSVILLE, IxD., Aug. 20, "86. To the Great South American Medicine Co.!

This mo- tion is to enable real temperance men to join these insincere. advocates of prohibition in a united pull for pro- hibition. Mr. Edmonson wound up the dis- cussion by declaring that there was very little hope of securing prohibitory legislation until a vote of the people could be taken to show how public opinion stands. He characterized the' royal commission which was going round this year tuking evidence as wn farco of the worst kind, and believed the cause of temperance would be re- tardefl by its work, wherens sn plebis< cite would give us the true state the people's minds.
