THE OIL FEVER.
This fever, If rightly managed, unlike
most of levers, may be very excellent
| thing for its victims. IL is fever which
does not lay you ont bcd-ridden, in con.
dition Of boiling blood and seething
brain. You need not the horrid pills and
powders great and small, of the medical
! school to cure you. On the contrary, it
puts new vigor into the system. Legs,
| that in city need the aid of street cars,
suddenly become gifted with the locomo-
tive energy of Brobdignag himself
They now, with splendid energy, scour
all the uooks, creeks, and gullies Of
Pennsylvania, Canada, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Ohio. The mind, from be-
ing dull and plodding becomes lubricst-
ed, 80 all its wonderful systems of wheels
and pullies play with magical energy
| Tho eyes, hitherto dull and vacant, be-
come iightened up as from inward con.
flagrations. There is n wild glare and
feverish energy about them which
| indicates that the whole man b
aroused and spurred on by the strong
est passion Of the soul-the love OF
money. Brains hitherto phlegmatic, DO
come suddenly luminous with mani
fold schemes and plans for dredging the
| Pactolian waters. Then, too, may you
! enjoy the supreme bliss of anticipation
OIL large scale. Ii ID easy 10 look down
n perfectly dark hole, six hundred feet
deep. listen TO the bubling gas, and see
fortune Of million at least. You can
enjoy over and over the sweet delusion
that you are among the financial naboos
of the land, and dispense, in fancy
thousands Of shining dollars to your
friends and the poor Magnificent pal
aces, royal steeds in splendid vehicles
foreign travel, books and the bne arts
are ministering 20 you already, as you
see financial glory awaiting you IN th'
distance. Indeed il is sweet disease Il
have. 1t puts marrow in the bones, oxy
gen in the blood, PHOSPHORUS in tho brain
and electricity in the nerves. IL disrooe.
poverty of itJ grimness, makes present
suffering endurable in view OF the far
more exceeding weight Of bullion In thu

The oil fever is good thing TO take
We know it, We have had IL. We ad
wise our readers TO take IL. Haye oil on
the brain. Have Il In the wells. Have
! il in the stocks Have il In banks. We
assure you it is pleasant disease. -
