/ am not in the habit of taking advertised med-
cnes OF certifying to their curative effects when
they come under my observation; bnt l feel con-
strained to make an exception in favor OF DoDD's
NERvINE and Invig orator, medicine 1 have used
in my family for some time past. My little daughter
had been suffering from severe whooping cough for
several weeks, and was so much broken OF rest at
night thatby excessive coughing and loss ofsleep-
her constitution and genera, health seemed to be
recommended by intimate neighbors, but nothing
was tried until our attention was called by physi-
clan not now in practice to Dodd's Nervie This we
procured and commenced using at once-with an eff
feet immediate and surprising. As the commissions
were hardest at night, we began by giving the Ner-
vine her going to bed. The first dose administer
ed made its impression the cough became less fire.
quent, and very much less severe she soon got her
accustomed sleep, rapidly revived in health and
vigor, and in few days was as well as ever. What
was left of the whooping cough thereafter Of no
trouble OF course cannot but consider Dodd's
Nervins and Jnvigorator an invaluable romedy for
this distressing malady. / may add that have
since recommended it to several family friends, in
like circumstances and have found it in every case
to be equally successful. 1t needs only to be known
to come into universal demand.

or in any name called respectable,
the verdict of the coroner's jury was
"apoplexy," or stsun-stroke," or eheart
disease" Let the reader refer for a
moment to the number of verdicts of
this kind throughout the country, and
more especially within the last few
years.
The police records showed a large
number of instances where drunkards
and criminals were arrested and taken
to the station houses, and died from
the effects Of the poisonous liquor
they had drank before morning. And
this was not all. Still further and
more minute inquiry, by confidential
with physicians of large practice,
showed that an immense proportion of
the great martality of the city was
caused Immediately by poison-poison
imbibed at the saloons and drinking
houses of the city with the liquor that
was publicly and VIGOROUSLY sold as a
beverage. =
So far we have merely stated facts.
Let every man make his own deduc-
tions. The liquors of the day are alb
solute poison. No drinker is safe. No
man who takes a glass of liquor knows
but that a sufficient amount of poison
Is concentrated in that glass to kill
him within five minutes .-Think of
it. Pour a pound of arsenic into a
bucket full of water, and then under
take to drink it in small quantities
to the dregs. You run to great
rer risk than you do in drinking the
liquor of the saloons, or any other
liquor.
" When these facts became known the
sale of liquor fell off immensely Men
stood aghast, as well they might, and
being fairly warned, it was to them
SELVES whether they would longer take
terrible risk of instant death, or accept
the equally. terrible certainty of the:
gradual destruction of organs neces-
sary to life, an untimely death, with
the universally concurrent circumstan-
ces of outraged, abused and beggared
families, disgraced children, erime-ir-
tested communities, and the ineffacea-
BILE stigma that inevitably follows
one more fellow mortal filling a drunk
ards grave.
