STOMACH OR LIVER,
Such as Indigestion, Acidity of the Stomach,
Colicky Pains. Heartburn, Loss of Appetite,
Dependency, Costiveness, Blind and Bleeding
Piles. In all Nervous, Rheumatic and Neural
gle Affections, it has in numerous instances
proved highly beneficial, and in others effected
q decided cure.
This is q purely vegetable compound, pre-
pared on strictly scientific principles, after the
manntf of the celebrated Holland Professor,
Boerhase. Because of its great success in most
of the European States, its introduction into
the United States was intended more especially
for those of our fatherland scattered here and
there over the face of this mighty country.
Meeting with great success among them, l now
offer it to the American public, knowing that
it's truly wonderful medicinal virtues must be
acknowledged.
1t is particularly recommended to those per-
sons whose constitutions may have been i'm
paired by the continuous use of ardent spirits,
Simultaneous in effect, it finds its way directly
every nerve, raising up the dropping spirit, and
system.
CAU TT NJ!
The great popularity of this delightful Aroma
has induced many limitations, which the pub

With the advice and assistance of some OF the
most experienced horsemen in Kentucky, think

country, that can be found in the United States.
lie was sired by imported Hooton, who was
owned from his first race in 1912 10 his last race
in 1910, jointly by those two celebrated members
Of the Turf, Col. Peel and Mr.. Worthington. and
was considered the best four mile horse in Eng
land. For his Pedigree, the Public are referred
10 the Turf Register; and for his performance, to
the racing calender. Young Hooon's dam was
sired by Prince; Prince by Becraft's Whalebone,
and he by Sir Archie.
So soon as Young Hooton arrives. will pub

Young Hooton is a beautiful Iron Grey, l6

Theories Concerning Earthquakes.

There are now two prominent theories
held by scientific men respecting the causes
OF earthquakes. One of them is called the
ingenious theory, which maintains that the
earth was once molten fiery ball, and that
its interior is still fiery mass, and is some
times caused TO generate waves. which pro-
duce oscillations on the earth's surface. The
second is what Is known as the electric the
Dry, which attributes the shocks to disturb
ed magnetic action in the crust Of the globe;
that the shocks are nothing more than pow
erful electric shocks. As earthquakes are
local, those who dispute the ingenious theo-
ry assert that if the interior of the earth
were a molten mass, as held by some, and
earthquakes were caused by waves Of this
fluid, then the oscillations would be felt
equally strong on every part of the earth's
crust.

PAYING IN ADvAScE--A Boston paper
says one Of the facts put in evidence at the
trial, in the Supreme Court to sustain the
will of the late WIN. RUSSELL was that only
few days before he made The will, he call
ed at the office Of the Democrat, and paid
for his paper in advance, thereby saving
fifty cents. The fact was dwet upon at
length by the counsel, and commented upon
by the Judge as one of great Importance
The verdict OF the jury would seem TO sus-
tain the proposition that man who has
mind enough to pay for his newspaper in
advance, Is competent TO make will.
