The Lecture Course.

Prof. Edward OrtOn, President of the
Ohio State University, has consented to
lecture here on the evening of Friday,
March 10Th, and the Lecture Committee
have decided to pay the expenses of the
Lecture from their little surplus, and
make this lecture free. This course was
decided upon in order to give every one
an opportunity to listen to what is spO-
ken of as highly interesting and prac-
tical discourse, and with view of at
tracing an audience worthy of the man
and the lecture. President Orton is a
gentleman of rare culture, and a lectu-
rer of more than ordinary attainments.
Where President Orton is well known
he universally attracts full houses, and
at recent lecture in the Opera House,
Columbus, where an admission fee was
charged, there was not standing room to
be had in that capacious chamber, so
great was the desire to hear him. Mr..
OrtOn is well known as the State Geol-
ogist, and the researches which he has
made in this science emipently qualify
him for the discussion of a subject of so
much practical utility as that of the IL
tie of his lecture, viz: Geology and
Water Supply" We hope he may re-
ceive rousing reception.

Don't Give Up.

What if you have tried different "put
up" medicines in vain. Have you not
been equally disappointed in some ply
sicians? Do not consider your case in
durable until you have made a thorough
trial of DIR. Pierce's Family Medicines.
They are chemically pure, of uniform
strength, and have come into general
use by reason of superior merit. In cases
of general and nervous debility, con-
sumption, bronchitis, dyspepsia, "liver
complaint" scrofnlous lunches, ulcers,
and eruptions, the Golden Medical Dis
covery is speedy and positive cure /;
while thousands of women, who had for
years been bed-ridden, have, by the use
of DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription,
been restored to perfect health: The in
PRODUCTION of these two remedies has
revolutioniZed the treatment of chronic
diseases. Patients are no longer de-
pleted and salivated, as the tonic and al
terative properties of the Discovery
long since demonstrated a better way.
Ladies need no longer submit to the use
of the caustic and knife, as the Favorite
Prescription is guaranteed to cure the.
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to wO-
men. Mrs. Samuel N. Kemper, of Gal
landet, Ind, writes, "Your Favorite Pre-
scription and Pleasant Purgative Pellets
have saved my life"
