Our National Disorder-Dr
Roback's Remedy.


The Ameri an stomach is tormenting or
gan. 1t is generally out of order. The reas
o i is obvious. The driving man of business
has not time, or will not take time properly to
masticate his food. He bolts it, and as bad
habits are catching, all classes follow his ex-
ample. Hence Dyspepsia, with all its COM
piications- hence Indigestion, Liver Com
plant, and Disorders of the Bowels, in all
their various phases. Against these and a
hundred other complaints, the Scandinavian
Blood Pills and Blood Purifier are waging an
exterminating warfare. The snccess of these
Medicines has been astonishing even in an
age of scientific miracles. They don't alleviate,
they extipguish a disorder. The agony, the
debility, the despondency, which character
praffiic ticns of the digestive and secretivs
zeans, vanish under the influence of these
iar aration. Tie constitution itself seems
Seeequire new energy under their operation.

l Handsome Speaking Hall.

Though we are people fond of public
meetings. our public halls are generally
bad. Taking the country through, three
fourths VI the best audience rooms are
faulty. Either the hall is insuflicicntly
ventilated, or accoustically defective, or, il
not failing in these respects, uncomfortably
arranged, having an uninyiting platform, u
formidable desk, vacant and chilling
space between the speaker and the audi.
encc, and giving general appearance OF
charlottesville opposite OF homelke-
ness and cosncss. Sometimes the gas
lights on the platform are in the wrong
placc--so near the speaker that an unruly
gesture carries ones fingers into the flame,
like needless moths. Sometimes a barri-
cade keeps lecturer imprisoned away
from the living sympathy Of his hearers
Sometimes two lamps stand sentry, one at
each end of the desk, staring with the eve
OF Cyclops into ones face, trying his words
rs by fire before they get to the ears in
front But good hall, comfortably and
invitingly arranged, helps to make good
speech. An extcmporaneous orator quick
ly feels the influence, not onl, of his audi
cncc. but Of the building and it's furniture.
or COURSE, good speeches may be made in
bad halls, and bad speeches in good ones.
But, generally. three things are necess-
AIRY to a warm-hearted and successful
spccch-a good speaker, good audience
and good hall. To anybody who is mcdi-
