~" NERVOUS DISEASES CON-


TROLLED AND CONQUERED.-Ofa all
the various ills that detract from the en-
joyment of human life, most Of them may
be traced to disordered condition of the
nervous system. The horrors of Epilepsy
or Falling Sickness, arise in most cases
from this cause. Our readers may remem-
ber, on several occasions before, we have
alluded to the wonderful cures, or modifca-
tions of Fits, made by the Vegetable Ex-
tract Epileptic Pills, invented and prepared
by DR.. Seth 3. Hance, Of l09 Baltimore
Street, Baltimore, Md. We feel fully sat
isfied that these Pills have cured some of
the most stubborn cases Of Epilepsy, as
we'll as the milder forms of Fits, such as
severe Cramps, Spasms, &c. We now
record the fact, that persons will find these
Pills equally eficacious in curing every
form of nervous debility mo matter
whether manifested in the acute and ex-
crutiatiDg form of Neuralgia, Tic Doloreux,
or Nervous Headache, the misery Of Dys-
pepsia or Indigestion, the sufferngs of
Rheumatism or Gout, the melancholy hal
lucination Of depressed spirits or hysteria,
their effects will be equally happy and
certain. Persons in the country can write
to the inventor, and have the medicine for
warded to them by mail. The prices are,
one box, So two boxes S.; twelve boxes
$24; and sent to any part of the country,
free of postage. Direct your communica
tionS to Seth S. Hance, lOs Baltimore St.,
