Thousands OF persons, without any specific all

unthnkng are apt to confound this species of ner-

want OF organic energy, for which the subjects of it
are no more responsible than the near-siehted are
for their detective vision. Such persons, although
they may be free from PAIN are as truly invalIds,
and as much in need Of medical and as ifthey were
tormented with the pangs of acute disease. They
require TONIC and Alternative that will rouse and
regulate their torpid organizations. In cases Of this

THE GRAND TRUNK MANAGEMENT.--The
Toronto Globe has begun bit Of "unpleas-
antness" with Mr.. Bridges of the Grand
Trunk road, acting, 1t would seem, decidedly
in the interest of the English capitalists who
have recently made a hostile demonstration
against the scheme to repair the road in be-
coming manner. These capitalists clamor for
dividends and are not content to see earnings
appropriated to improving the property of the
corporation. They cannot, from their distant
outlook, fully sympathize with those to whom
the business of the road is vastly more vital
than stock dividends, and hence the unrest
they exhibit. We feel quite sure that, while
there may have been faults in the manage
ment, the present purpose is most praise
worthy and we hope the efforts to put the
road in good condition throughout will be ac-
cepted as the true policy even of the British
capitalists, and that at least, the dwellers
along the line of this great thoroughfare will
throw No obstacle in the way of this.
