signed, and whose happiness it winefit it G.
The most eminent physicians of this country
have exerted themselves to the utmost to check
the increasing fatality origination from the relaxa
ton of the nerves. Having for a long period de-
voted much study, time and labor in establishinh
treatment for the perfect restoration ofthe Ner
vous System, it is gratifying to be able to
the success attending my new 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 ENTHUSIASTICALLY

STOMACH BITTERS, and you will be safe.
Butfew disorders involve sreater suffering, and
if not in itself Immediately dangerous 1T is the
source of many deadly malatlies. Even if it did
not tend to greater evil, the mental and physical
misery it produces is alone sufficient eason WHY
no pains should be spared to prevent or cure it.
In no country ON the face of the globe is it so
completely domesticated as in our owl. where it
is found in nearly every household. HOSTEL
TIERS STOMACH BITTERS are universally
conceded to be the sovereign remedy for this an
moving disease, as they act directly upon the d.
gestive organs, correct and tone the stomach, and
give renewed vitality to the system. Acting de-
lightfuly upon the nerves and soothing the brain,
renders them effcacious as mental medicine
as well as a genial stomachic. If taken as a pre-
venve, they will be found particularly well suit
ed to the diseases arising from the unhealthy sea-
son of autumn, and their use will prevent the
creeping, unpleasant sensation often complained
OF when the chills are stealing slowly upon the

Who, with my mind, my strength, my soul,

loved her, ali, no tongue can tell,
No mortal mind can eer conceive
To me she was this world, and more,
My darling, sweet Generieve.
The spirits Of those who are gone, It's said,
'Oft visit US il sleep:
For in my dresms see that form,
And waken but to weep;
But there is place, oh, thank God
OF which we can't conceive;
Where we shall meet 10 part n, more,

lested properly, and good healthy blood made
thus building up the constitution. SCHEECk'S
MANDRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach OF all
bilious mucous Accommodations, aud by using
the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is
restored.
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutri-

remedies, all impurities expelled from the sys-
TEN, and good, wholesome blood made, which will
repel all disease. Ipatiens will take these nedi-
cines according to directions, Consumption very
frequently in ito last stage yields readily to their
action. Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the
liver and stomach. 1t does not follow that because
the bowels are not costiYe they are not required,
for sometimes in diarrhaa they are neces gary.
The stomach must be kept healthy, and an ap-
petite created to allow the Paimanic Syrup to act
on the respiratory organs properly and sllay any
irritation. Then all that is required TO perform q
permanent cure is, to prevent taking cold. EAer-
