ELLSWORTH Mail.

We publish brief communication
from " Citizen" urging an increase OF
service on this important route-making
it tri-weekly. This is change much
needed and would accommodate our cit
izens more than the increase of any
other route. The route deserves daily
mail but that would, perhaps, be too
much TO ask for at one time. Petitions,
we learn, are being circulated for sigma
lures. Hurry them up.

T,HE NERVE PRESCRIPTION.

FOR A PERFECT RESTORATION OF THE
NERVOUS SYSTEM, causing an immediate and
proper cure in the following cases: Nervousness
Epilepsy, Physical Debility, Impaired Nutrition
of the Body, Lassitude, Weakness in the Limbs
and Back, lndispostion and lncapacty for study
and Labor, Dizziness of apprehension, Loss Of
Memory, Aversion to Society, Tmdtv SelfDis-
trust, Dizziness, Headache, and Sexual lncapacity
incident to both sexes, for whose benefit it is de-
signed, and whose happiness it wnefit it e.
The most eminent physicians of this country
have exerted themselves to the utmost to check
the increasing fatality origination from the reaxa
ton of the nerves. Waving for a long period de-
voted much study, time and labor in estabishinh
treatment for the perfect restoration ofthe Ner
System it is gratifying to be able to announce
the success attending my method. Through
this treatment the nerves can be reached and in
such way that, however shattered or Frustrated,
they can be perfectly restored. 1t acts on the
Nerves at once, yet with misunderstanding
them to a natural state and removing the above
distressing diseases.
Both sexes more or less, through the prostra-
ton OF the Nervous System, lose their energy
In such instances the Nerve Prescription NAV be
elieved upon in reviving the patient into the Wig
70 of youth.
This prescription is carefully compounded, and
put up in boxes con tanning "a Powders. Price So
Mailed or expressed to any address, with valuable
hygienic advice which will be found beneficial in

Do not Trifle with Danger.

single spark may kindle flame that will
consume a city, and small ailments neglec ted, may
end in fatal disorders. Bearing this fact in mind,
let the first symptoms of debility nervous pro-
stration be met promptly with invigorating treat
ment. Foremost among the vegetable tOnics of
the age stands HOSTETTERS STOMACH BIT
TIERS, and whenever the vital powers seem to
suspect that the animal functions essential to the
sustenation and publication of the body are i'm
perfectly performed, this invaluable invigorant
and antiseptic should at once be resorted to. In
digestion always produces weakness of the bodi-
lily powers. Some times it happens that the APP
petite demands more food than the stomach can
digest; though not more, perhaps, than is re-
quired to keep up the full strength of the frame
The object under such circumstances, is to in
crease the digestive capacity OF assimilating Or
gan, so as to make it equal to the duty imposed
upon it by the appetite, and capable of supplying
the building material Of the system as fast as it is
required. This object, is fully accomplished by
the usessof the Btters. They tone and gently slim
gastric juice and the result is that the solvent is
mingled with the food in sufficient quantity to
convert all its nourishng particles into pure and
wholesome element. If, on the other h and, there
is deficiency of appetite, without any cores
ponding deficiency of digestive power, the effect
of the tonic is to stimulate desire for food. In
nineteen cases out of twenty, headache, Enausea,
nervousness, fainting-fts, spasms, and, indeed,
most of the casual aches, and pains to which hu-
mainly is subject, proceed primarily from indiges-
ton complicated with billousness aud for both
these complaints HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS are recommended as a speedy and GER
tain remedy.

Advantage of Advertising.

We have often had occasion to call attention
to the advantage of advertising, but have never
met with so striking an illustration of the ad-
vantage as that which occurred in the circum-
stance of advertising some stolen horses, in
the HERALD, a few weeks ago. We received
a notice from party in West Virginia to al
yertise some horses which were supposed to
have been stolen, which was promptly done,
when, to our sErprise, the owner of the horses
inquired at our Office the following morning
after the publication of the notice, and salts
fed US that they were his horses, and that they
had been stolen some three years before, and,
subsequently, made arrangements for their re-
cevery. This instance not only illustrates the
wisdom of advertising, but also, the advantage
of taking the papers, foY, if the aforesaid par
ty had not been a regular subscriber to the
Herald he would not, probably, have ever heard
of his horses. A word to the wise is sufficient.

RICHEST Book IN THE WoRLD.-Nothing
need be said in praise of the new edition Of
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. Its COM
pleteness surpasses the thought of any one who
has not examined it. Add to this vast vari-
ETY. Of classified Pictorial Illustrations, of al
most every physical science embraced in the
studies of the age, with various other depart
ments, and the work is the richest book Of in
formation in the tcorld. There is probably more
real education in it than can be bought for the
same amount of money in any language. Eve

pense of the parish. 1t would improve many

when it had assumed its most formidable aspect
and when speedy death appeared to oe inevitable,
His physicians pronounced his case incurable,
when he commenced the use of this simple but
powerful remedy. His health was restored in a
very short time, and no return ofthe disease has
been apprehendea, for all the symptoms quickly
disappeared, and his present weight is more than
two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his attention
exclusively co the cure of Consumption and the
and the cures effected by his medicines have been
very numerous and truly wonderful. DR.. Schenck
makes professional visits to several Of the larger
cities weekly, where he has large concourse of
patients and it is truly astonishing to poor con-
sumptives that have to be lifted out OF their
generally all required in curing Consumption.
Full directions accompany each, SO that any one
can take them without seeing DR.. Schenck, but
when it is convenient it is best to see him. He
gives advice free, bat for thorough examination
with his Respirometer his fee is three dollars.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the two
iikenesses ofthe Doctor--one whenin the last stage
of Consumption, and the other as he now is, in
perfect health-are on the Government stamp.
