Those who have tried 1t, know that 1t cured them:
those who have not, know that II cures their
neghbors and friends, and all know that what 1t
does once it does always-that 1t never 1als
through any fault or neglect OF It's composltlon'
We have thousands upon thousands OF tne ceriln-
Gates of their remarkable cures OF the following
complaints, but such cures are knoMM III t,, every
neghborhood, and we need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions IN all clnates;
containing neither caldmel or any deleterious
drug, they may be taken with safety Dy anybody:
Their sugar coating preserves tne ever resn anu
vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any
quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal vscera to purify the blood and stimulate
IL into healthy action-remove the Instructions OF
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs OF
the body restoring their irregular action to health
and by correcting, wherever tney exist, sucn
arrangements as are the first origin OF disease.
Minute directions are given IN the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
PILLS rapidly cure:
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIsTLEssNEss,
LANGUoR and Loss of APPETITE, they should be
taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and
restore its healthy tone and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various symp'
toms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE, JAuN.
DICE or GREEN SICKNESS, BILIOUS COLO and
BILIOUS FEvERS, they should be ludiciously taken
for each case, to correct the diseased action OF
remove the distractions which cause 1t.
For DYSENTERY or DIARRHG;A, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PALPITATIoN
OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and
LUNGS, they should be continuously taken, as re.
quired, to change the diseased action OF the sys-
TEN. With such change those complaints dis
appear.
For DRoPsY and DRoPsICAL SwELLINGs they
should be taken in large and frequent doses TO
produce the effect OF drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be taken
as 1t produces the desired effect by sympathy.
AS DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS to pro-
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence 1t is often ad-
yantage0us where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose Of these PILLS makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovatng effect on
the digestive apparatus.

WHAT MEDICI MES
YOU TAKE.

When you are exhausted by overwork OF head
or hand, and feel the need Of something invigorat-
ing, don't drink whskey or any intoxicating
thing whether under the name Of Bitters or other
wise. Such articles give just as much strength
to your weary body and mind as the whip gives
to the jaded horse, and no more. Alcoholic stim-
ulants are injurious to nerve health and are al
ways followed by depressing reaction.
DODDS NBT.VINE AND INVIGORATCh
Is Tonic and gentle stimulant, which is not at
tended by reaction. What it gains for you it
maintains. When 1t refreshes body or mind, it
refreshes with natural strength that comes to
stay. We are not recommending teetotalism in
the interest Of any faction; but long and extend
ed observation teaches us that lie who resorts to
the bottle for rest recuperaton, will find as he
keeps at 1t, that he is kndlng fire in his bones
which will consume like the names OF perdition.
Turn from it. Take tonic that will refresh and
not destroy. DODD'S NERVINE is for sale by all
Druggists. Price One dollar: See book Of certi-
hcates that accompanies each bottle.

The National Temperance Convention
Adoption of Platform

CHICAGO, September 2.-The National
Temperance Convention to-day adopted a
platform as follows:
First That we acknowledge the pure
patriotism and profound craftsmanship of
those, patriots who laid broad and deep
the foundation Of the Government, secur-
ing at once the rights of the State severallv
and their inseparable union by the Federal
Constitution. We would not merely gar
nish the sepulcbres of our republican ia
Tiers, but we do hereby renew our solemn
pledges of fealty to civil and religious
liberty embodied in the Declaration of
American Independence and our Federal
Constitution.
Second. That traffic in intoxicating
beverages is a dishonor to Christian
civilization, inimical to the best interests
of society, political wrong of unqualified
enormity subversive of the ordinary OBJ
jects of government, not capable of being
regulated or restrained by any system of
license whatever. but imperatively de-
mandlng for its suppression effective legal
prohibition both by State and the National
Legislatures.
Third. That in view of this, and mas
much as the existing political parties
either oppose or ignore this great and
paramount question, and absolutely refuse
to do anything toward the suppression of
the rum traffic, which is robbing the nation
of its brightest iutellccts, DESTROYING its
national prosperity and rapidly under.
mining its very foundations. we are driven
by an imperative sense of duty to sever
our connection with these political parties
and to organize ourselves into national
anti-dram shop party, having for its object
tie entire suppression of the traffic in
intoxicating drinks
Fourth. That while we adopt the name
OF the anti-dfamshop party as expressive
of our primary object, and while we de-
nounce all Reputation of the public debt,
and pledge fidelity to the principles of the
Declaration Of Independence and the
Federal Constitution, we deem it lnexpe
dent to give prominence to other Political
issues.
Fifth. That central executive commit
tee of one from each State and Territory
and the District of Columbia be appointed
by the Chair, whose duty it shall be to
take such action as in their judgment will
best promote the interests of the country.

A Desperate Fight in Texas.

SHREVEPORT. Ia, September 1.-In-
telligence has just been received here of
a desperate fight near San Patricio, Texas,
between smeil squad of United States
troops and band Of the reckless outlaws
who roam at pleasure over Texas and com
NIT murders and outragcs almost daily.
On this occasion the troops were ont to
arrest some of the outlaws They made
determined resistance. and lively fight
ensued. The troops finally got the best
of the villains, but only after killing four
and wounding several others One SOL
der was killed and number wounded.
The condition of affairs in the thiniy-
settled portions of Texas is very bad, and
not day passes without some outrage
from these gangs of banditti.
