THE Board L OF Directors present to the Policy

port We feel grateful for the extent Of its bust

PIRATE to say at this III that at the organization
of the Ashland County Mutual Fire insurance
Company, and previous to the commencement of
its business transactions, the Board OF Directors
adopted She following ~alutary rule of action, viz:
"To eonfHe the risks to the safer kind Of property
to take money enough upon issuing q Policy to
pay any probable loss during it's continuance, and in
addition to the amount Of cash receiced, to require
at the same time a small depOsite note to Pr0uide for
any unusual e0ufagrGti0n-" This rule must be ap
parent to every business man. Thatiu order sue
cessfully to conduct the. business of an Insurance
GehapSny aud romptI pay itslesses-the funds
should be provided before the loss happens. Upon
this principle of reasoning, the Directors com
menced the business of the Company-so far it
has been proved to be a correct principle. and the
salutary rule thus established at the Organization
of the Company. remains unchanged TO this day

Derangements of the Liver s Stomach,

are sources Of insanity. Fromisorder dor OBJ
struction morbid action of the sympathtlce
and other nerves follows, and the functions OF
the brain are impaired and dcranged; derange-
ment there will also produce diseases OF the
heart, skin, lungs and kidneys. 1t is owing to
the same cause that thousands die with Chole-
IA, Bilious or Yellow Fever, and that most
baneful disease, Consumption.
The general want Of success in treating ds-
eases Of the liver and stomach, has not been a
deficiency Of pathological knowledge of their
functions-but Of u suitable compound that
would act upon the disease and all the symPa-
thetic affections. That has been gained III these
Bitters and they can be used by persons with
perfect salcty-as they at no time debllItate the
patient, but give strength and increase the ner-
yous energy. They can be taken at all times
and under all circumstances. No ordinary eX-
po,ure will prevent them having sal utary ei-
feet and no bad effect can result from an over
dose.
If patients will perscyere in the use of tins
remedy and Ise it strictly according to dIrec'
tons, it will cure the foregoing diseases in eve
nv instance, if not beyond the power of medi'
cine: it has caused many TO enjoy the blessing OF
renewed health, and in mapy desperate and a
bandoned cases, perfect and radical cnre.

Persons advanced in Life,

and feeling the hand Of Time weighing heavily
upon them, with all lis rttendant ills, will Ind
in tn, use of the Bitters, an Elixir that will IN
sill new life into their veins; restore, in mea-
sure, the energy and ardor of more youthful
days build up their shrunken forms, and'glve
health and happiness to their remaining years.
1t is a well established fact that fully one
half of the female portion Of our population,
are seldom in the enjoyment of good health, or
to use their own expression "never feel we'll"
They are languid, devoid Of all energy, ex-
tremely nervous, and have no appetite. To
this class of invalids these Bitters are especial
lv recommended. Their peculiar tonic and H.
MIGRATING properties render them invaluable
in such cases.
Persons visiting districts harrassed annually
with FEVER AND AGUE, or any FEVER of Bill
1oUs nature, will find that by the timely use of
one or two bottles, they will not in one in
stance take the disease, as the Bitiers Will re-
povate and strengthen the system, and carry
the bile off in its natural channel Prevention
is better than cure.
