s. PROPOSITIONS FOR ADvERTIsING-We re-
ceive by nearly every mail one or more PROPOSE
tons from Advertising Agents to insert adver-
tsements at rates that amount to an insult to pa
pers of large circulation, We pay no attention
to them. Such propositions do not deserve re-
ply, and we do not trouble ourselves to write
any. We have just received proposition from
the office of Proctor Brothers, Gloucester, Mass,
manufacturers of Natures Hair Restorative"
proposing to furnish us three dozen bottles for
publishing for one year five inch advertisement,
and in addition to publish for the same time spe-

We would live to be as bald AS ';old Uncle

We mention this case by way of illustration,
merely, and net because It is more objectionable
than many others.

To the Nervous.


The natural result of exhaustion OF strength
by excessive labor or action, is feeling of weak
ness dulness, heaviness, WEAKNESS, languor of
body mind, sc. Persons Of weak constitu
tons, or whose habits are sedentary, frequently
complain of this relaxed condition of the vital
energies and when persons of a nervous tenn
permanent are thus weakened and debilitated, dis
ease inevitably follows, unless it is at once check
ed aad overcome. All who suffer from these
causes alike require remedy which will
strengthen the system without exciting it, and
awake feeling of true enjoyment so that life
may become q source of pleasure. MIsHLER' S
HERB BITTERs has won its way into the conf
dence of thousands of thousands of this class of
persons who warmly endorse it as the best in
vigorating agent, and the most potent and genial
of all TONES and alternatives, for strengthening
and restoring the physical constitution.
