MENTAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. do.

MENTAL DEPRESSION.-M de-
preston is o disease Of the nervous sys-
tom, and of all the ills flesh is heir to, it is
the one that excites the least sympathy.
It is subject of frequent jests, and is
called by various derisive terms; but, al.
though it is often laughed at, it is not
easy to laugh the patient out of the belief
that his ills are all real, for it is q reol dis
o'de''Athe general features Of which are
constant fear, anxiety and gloom. The
external senses, as well as tho mental
faculties, often manifest symptoms Of de-
rangement. Noise, as of falling water,
and ringing in the ears, are complained OF,
while black specks and fiery sparks fre-
quently fit before the vision. Admonitions
like these should not be disregarded, as
they may, if neglected, terminate in in
sanity. The seat of the disease is in tho
brain and nervous system, and to control
the malady 1t is necessary to use a power
1ui tonic and Alternative, which will correct
ana tone those organs without inflaminp
the brain. This is the secret of the .auc.

In fact. it is the only pure and reliable

much more formidable shape if allowed

LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that
has ever been invented, as thousands win
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
q positive remedy for al diseases flowing
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH Is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory aIono the in
ventor Of the Queens Delight establishes
the great hygienio law, WITHOUT PURE
BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM Dis
EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms,
Livers, Crippled Rheumatios, Nervous
Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptio Victims of
Headache, 30 common lin this country. is
owing entirely to the humors Of the blood.
Very many other diseases may be traced to
bad blood, scrofula or Kings Evil, Eryai-
pelas, Exauthems or Elevure, rash or
eruption on females; Blotches, letter.
Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy-
These cannot be cured without purifying
the blood. Now as to the remedy. There
is no other blood purifier that will accom-
plish such positive and extraordinary cures
take barrel Of extract sarsaparilla, and
still you will not be cured; and, as q proof
OF it, look around and you will observe the
country, throughout its length and
breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa-
par1llas, extracts and syrups, claiming to
be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day
more evidence of impurity Of the blood
than ever. Why is this2 Simply because
these. extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth
less medicines.
The Queens Delight is new compound,
and is now the great blood medicine; sane
toned by the profession, patronized by the
highest dignitari4s of the land, endorsed
by everybody. gf
In the brief period Of twelve months,
over 8, 600 cases have been treated go suc-
oessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder
of the age. .. -.
For debility, prostration, nervousness,
mental depression, impaired digestion,
loss OF appetite, restlesness, want OF vital
force. Low spirits; it is more iHvigorat-
ing and strengthening than all the COM
pounds of bark or bitters. AS a liver
invigorator, it is of inestimable value. AS
a stlmulant, it is safer and surer than all
the rum and .whiskey tonics of the day,
and if you value your life and health q
pins fee, avoid these quickening stimu-
lants to the grave and use the Queens
Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queens De-
light. This is not the Extract of Stellin-
gia or Queens Delight. nor is it O Com

Heinitsh's Queens Delight is the trade

NOW, supposing the standard of Ameri-
lar, it is clear that s4.44.4 would represent
at par the value of FL sterling. But that
standard has been changed-first, by o
United States, silver coinage, and then by
gold one; SO that now Tho par value is
abe about y % per cent. above s4.44.4, or 4.s6
per +; co, Hence; when exchange is quoted.
say lo9a to ITO i'll New York, it is about
part. e., it is just as profitable to buy
exchange at that price for remittance as
it is to send gold.
If the price be Ill to 112, it would pay
expenses, and per cent. to per cent. in
addition, to send gold; but if below 1904,
there would be loss in shipping gold.
All exchange is calculated upon gold
basis, but at the present time the usual
business Of the United States is transact
ed In currency. This has to DE taken into
account in settling any price quoted from
there, or sending remittances for pay
ments; and this is done in the following
manner-for instance:
what Is fl0o worth in currency, with
exchange, say, at 1O91, and gold at 10 per
cent. premium? f1-444.4 A.
a.. Therefore, f100-444A.
And 444 A at s4S6.65 in gold.
Which, at 40 per cent. premium 81
in currency.
The same process gives the true result,
geid vary as they may. And, rice rersa,
to find the value of given amount OF cur
rency in sterling:
A in New York wishes to pay D in Lon
don the value of $4,000 currency in ster.
ling. Gold is 13G, and exchange 1851. How
many pounds, shillings and pence must he
send him?
81 44 at 10Sl gives, say, $4.S2.2 in gold.
Which at SO prem.-s6 $50 per { sterling.
$4,000
Therefore, 81, 81 Is. Cd, amo't
to be remitted. And so again:
What is the value in sterling Of 81, 900 in
United States 5-20 bonds, when quoted at
1113 in New York, with gold ut 134 and
exchange los?
Price Of bonds-1114, i. e., III premium.
Then )! 900 at III 4premium-$1,11 ,115.
S4.44 at 10S-say, 81. 80 in gold
Which at 81 prem:.s6432 per sterling.
Therefore, ..,--o -s17s U.s., value OF
81 900 in sterling.
The difficulty to be overcome by those
inexperienced will be with regard to the
decimal points, in multiplying and divid
ing; but the working Of one or two ex.

numbers represent, Will fully obviate this
BY noticing the prices of exchange and
gold quoted daily in the papers, correct
answer to any query as to exchange can al

AS all articles of American produce arc
quoted in currency, this calculation must
be made to determine the cost in sterling
