THE HISTORY OF A NATIONAL REMEDY.
Here is the history of the most celebrat
ed tonic of the age in a nutshell. In 1860
il was announced that certain combna-
ton of vegetable ingredients, with pure
diffusivc stimulant, was working wonders
in the cure of chronic dyspepsia, nervous
debility, liver complaint, periodical fevers,
rheumatism and constitutional weakness.
The unprctending name given to the spe
cific was Plantation Bitlers. The state
ment attracted the attention of invalids
everywhere. The new remedy received
a fair trial, and the results more than con-
firmed all that had been said in its praise
Thenceforward it was a grand success
The business columns of the press spread
the glorious news far and wide, and the
martyrs TO indigestion, biliousness, phys
ical prosTation, and premature decay, as
if by common consent sought relief from
the new vegetable restorative. They found
what they sought From that time to the
present the increase in the demand for
Plantation Bitters has been one Of the
most striking events in this age.

Two youths from the southern part of
the county were made the innocent victims
Of one of the showmen, that veritable chap
that loafs around the side show and PLAYS
three card monte. The young gentlemen
became 50 infatuated that they lost all their
money and their watches into the bargain
They attempted on Sunday morning 10
have Mr.. Snowman arrested and bound
over for his appearance at court, but the
Sheriff knowing that he had not the au-
thority to make the arrest on Sunday, the
light fingered gentleman was given an OPP
portunity to get out of the county by IL
O'Clock at night. Report says he made
good his escape.

TO ask all those who have been indebted TO

DUBIoUs DIsEAsEs.-For years, we
might almost say for centuries, consump-
ton has been classed among the diseases
Of doubtful cure, consequently, people
when they have supposed it to exist, have
abandoned all hope of staying its progress,
and have allowed its victims to suffer on
until death gathers them into its vortex
Not so now. DIR. Keyser, with DR.. Key
ser's Lung Cure, has established the truth,
that consumption, like any other disease,
has its remedy. Not one or two sporadic
cases, that perhaps would have recovered
under the hand of nature alone, but doz-
ems and scores of unhealthy people have
been rescued from the grasp OF this fell
destroyer of the human family, and live to
bless DIR. Keyser's Lung Cure TO their
latest breath. So much is this the case that
there is hardly family on whose mantel
piece may not he seen the famous bottle
bearing this inscription: 'Dr. Keyser's
Lung Cure, or Pulmonary Restorative" a
name significant enough, and before the
contents of which incipient pulmonary
maladies vanish like noXious mists before
the morning sun. DIR. Keyser's LIN
Cure is health giving elixir, which none
who ever used il can deem of dubious value.
