may be caused by allowing the bowels to become
constipated and the system to remain in q dlsor-
dered condition. rntil the disorder has time to de-
velop itself. An ounce of prevention is worth q
pound of cure, is an cd and truthful saying
Therefore, we advise all who troubled with the
complaints now very prevalent headache, indiges-
tion dsordered liver, want of appetite nausea, or
feverish skin, to, take, without delay, Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. We know Of no remedy so harm
less and decisive in its action. It at strikes
at the root of the disease and produces healthy
tone to the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from disordered condition Of
the liver if they would take this excean medicine
when they feel the fret indications of the malady
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three four boxes Of these pills witt

THE London Times i'll leading article in
its issue of March 27, makes an estimate of
the abilities and services of ex-President
Grant, and bespeaks for him kind and cor
dial reception when he shall arrive in Eng
land. Speaking of his military services it
says: CHS soldier he may be said to have
been uniformly and Systematically successful,
and at the end OF the Civil War he stood in a
position similar to that which the Duke of
Wellington occupied in England after Water
loo." If he was not so successful as Pres-
dent as he was as General, this Is defect,
says the Times, which he has shared with
many great soldiers. All soldiers are not
Caesars. Nevertheless, the Times prophesies,
when everything has been admitted, "Gen.
Grants eight years Of office will probably be
regarded before long as comparing well with
most presidential admins +" and it
closes with the declaration that che will be
welcomed as one of the most distinguished
men whom the United States have as yet
produced, and he will attract to himself the
hearty friendliness with which Englishmen
regard the great representatives of their race
In the New World" The welcome which is
extended to the ex.President is as warm and
kindly as its estimate Of him is just and cor
root
