The demand has been extremely limited, and

food, and frequent perspirations reduce bod

the effects Of facilitating diseases. In order
TO keep natural healthiu activity of the

For tits purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
is very efiectual. few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. For dyspepsia II is invaluable. Many
eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the
drugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature
is totally different from such drugs. II con-
tains no corrosive minerals or acids in fact
it assists the regular operations of nature,
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic IN
its nature so much resembles the gastric
Juice that il is almost identical with that fluid.
The gastric juice is the natural solvent which,
in q healthy condition Of the body, causes
the food to be digested and when this juice
is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indi-
gestion, with all its distressing symptoms,
follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the
duty of the gastric juice when the latter is
deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold
by all Druggists.

More or less correspondence for a
few weeks past has been exchanged
between Mr.. G. G. Gilman, President
of the Hawkeyc Telegraph Co., and
some of our citizens, relative TO the
extension of his company's line TO
this place.
AT one time Mr.. G. had hoped to
have been able to construct his line
from Eddyvillc to Burlington, and
there make connection with a branch
Of the Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph
Co., but no encouragement in the way
of local subscription at Burlington
was offered to the latter company,and
the extension of its line from Peoria
was abandoned.
So far as this city is concerned,
however, a good connection with the
Atlantic Il Pacific can be enjoyed
through the "Iawkeye," at Grinnell
on the Chicago & Rock Island Rail-
road, at which point these companies
have joint Office, a result greatly to
be deserved in these particularly hard
times, inasmuch as the price of tele-
