Cordial Balm Of Syricum.


During the year 1865 DR.. G. Edgar Lothrop had a
new and peculiar drug from the interior of Africa,
brought prominently under his notice by the very
strange effect it produced on an animal who had
accidentally swallowed large quantity. Owing to
this circumstance he was led to make many expert
ments on the lower animals, and he discovered
that 1t had very peculiar effect the Nervous Sys
tem This induced him to experiment both on himself
and some of his PATIENTS and such was the wonder
uy beneficial effects and rapid the of those
afnlcted with nervous diseases, that DIR. Lothrop
came to the conclusion that he had discovered new
and valuable addition to the medicines of the phar-
macop9a He soon found that this medicine in con-
junction with some Others cured nervous diseases of
all kinds with certainty and rapidity of which he
had no previous conception.
A few words on that special disease generally known
as Nervous Debility Or Weakness This is in most cases
bought on by total ignorance of the fearful perni-
brought on through no fault of the person afflicted
but by disease, long confinement, and several other
causes-but in all cases the effect the constitution
is the same Heretofore, there has been no cure for
this disease but DR.. Lothrop, having put up this
medisine in the form Of CORDIAL BALM OF IRI-
CUM AND TONIC PILLS, combined with other
speedy cure. Our Lunatic Asylums are full of pa
tients in many cases brought thither by the effects
ence, hopeless of relief having often been deceived
by unprincipled quacks. Such is not the case with
Or. 6. Edgar Lothrop's CORDIAL BALM OF SYRI-
CUM and TONIC PILLS. A very short trial will
demonstrate their efficacy
ANY who suffer from the effects of over indulgence
in tobacco, alcoholic stimulants Palpitation Of the
Heart, ST. Vitus' Dance, Epilepsy, Nervous Head
ache, Sleeplessness, Restessness during Sleep Loss
OF Memory, Irritabilty, Nervousness, Twitchfng of
the Nerves, and all other Nervous Diseases will find
this medicine a real blessing.
Should any person into whose hands this notice
comes, have friend whom he knows or thinks is af-
ficted!with any Nervous Disease Nervous Debility.
etc., he will confer real kindness on his friend Nv
sending it to him. so as to give him an opportunity
OF being cured by the use of Dr. Lothrop's CORDIAL
BALM OF SYRICUM and TOXIC Pills
Sold by all Druggists.

things of much import in relation to

unable to find any large lots. from TO-

quantities. \ producing firm, that
was getting on the first Of December
1000 barrels day, is getting now only
GOO barrels. There are scores OF
others in a similar condition. Not
withstanding there have been some
large strikes, the production is steadi-
" declining, and with greater rapidi-
" than most people are aware Of. a
good deal Of the production is still
sold ahead, and we suppose this is one
Of the reasons why spot is not plen'

The whole view Of the case may be
given in few words: As the trade is
now evidently shaping and contracts
are running, at any figure belor $50

next three months, in our opinion. Is
likely to be in exceed Of the supply

the market SO soon recovered demon

the bulls are helping the forward move

bears are making an equally strong eff
