PEOPLE OF AMERICA Thousand of you have
suffered long years with liver complaints, pain in
the side and loins, biliousness, headache, irititabil-
lty, and other diseases that all the remedies you
have tried failed to cure, and your Physicians pro-
nounced incurable. You need suffer no longer.
Dr. Sanfords Inrigorator will make you we'll
again. Great cures are daily reported as having
been performed by the use ofthis remedy, and none
who use it are disappointed in its effects. A distin-
guished Physician says in his practice he never
found anything SO efectual in relieving the above
named diseases as the Invigorator. 3-4i

a trial and. to my utter astonishment, 1 found, af-
ter a few applications, that my hair became firm
ly set, and assumed a glossy and beautiful ap-
peafance; ard by the time / had used a quart bot

distinguished writer says On the subject
Poverty is the nurse of manly energy,
and heaven clinging to the thought, atten-
ded by lo*e, and faith, and hope, around
whose steps niountdin breezes blow, and
from whose c0unteflance all the virtues
gather strength. Look around you upon
tie distinguished men that in every de-
partment of life guide and control the
times, and inquire what was their origin,
and what were their early fofttities. Were
they, as general rule, rocked and dandled
in the lap of luxury and wealth No,
such men merge from the homes Of DECEIT
competence, of struggling poverty. Ne
cessity sharpens their faculties, and priva-
ton and sacrifice brace theft moral natu- -e.
They learn the great art of rerurciation,
and enjoy the happiness of having few
wants. They know nothing of Indifference
or safety. There is not an idle fibre in
in their frames. They put the vigor of a
resolute purpose into every act. Tie
edge of their minds is always kept sharp.
In the schools Of life men like these meet
the softly nurtured darlings of prosperity
as the iron meets the vessel Of porcelain.
