experienced here during the summer months, the
lethargy produced by the heat takes away the de
sire for Wholesome food, and frequent perspiratious
re drce bodily energy, particularly those suleiins
from the effects of dobiltating diseases. In order
to keep natural, hcalthful activity of the System,
schenck'- Sea Weed Tonic is very eflectual. Ai'w
doses will create sppetile and give fresh vigor
to the eneryated body. For dyspepsia it is inyalu-
able. Many eminent physicians have doubted
whether dyspepsia can bo 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. 1t contains no
corrosive minerals or acids, in TACT It assists the
regular operations OF nature, and supplies her
deficiencies. The tonic in its nature ~ much re
sembes the gastric juice that it is almost Identical
with that ruid. The gastric juice is the natural
solv ont. which, in healthy condition Of the body,
causes the food to be digested and when this juice
is not cxc5etcd in sufficient quantities, Indigestion
with all its distressing symptoms, follows. Tho
Sea Weed Tonic performs tho duty Of tho gastric
Juice when tho latter is deficient Seh' mex ) Sea

Hon A. j. Samson is in default to several

TRAITOR, guardian or other trustee. The
amount in arrear is supposed to be not less

be more. The Messenger says: Some of
these estates haze been several years in

has used some OF the funds to pay up de

managing 1t is also said that he lost con-

under inducements or advice from man
who talked of building q railroad down

bonds some years ago, to ascertain whether
or not they are liable for any loss.
