that it controls nervous irritation and periodic

troduced to the profession and the public by myself
has produced such marvellous results in curing
vousness and headaches and especially nervous and
sick headaches, neuralgia indigestion and sleepless
ness, that it has excited public attention and
paper comments; and, therefore, give the follow
ing information to the public to avoid answering
hundreds of letters of inquiry about them:
My Celery and Chamomile Pills, for the cure of
headaches and nervousness, are prepared under my
supervision, and are intended expressly to cure
headache, neuralgia indigestion. sleeplessness and
nervousness, and will cure any case where no or

been cured. No matter how chronic obstinate
the case may be- permanent cure is morally GER
tain This statement is made after years of expert
ence in their use in the general practice of medicine
These pills are also valuable for school children
who suffer from nervous headaches, caused by an
overworked brain in their studies and for all class

the current week to the reports of the
closing exercises of Franklin and Mar
shall college, and which seem only to re-
fleet the general interest annually in
spired by this event. college hill " has
long been regarded as the fountain head
from which have gone forth the streams
of knowledge and intelligence that in
succeeding years are to fertilize society
and make it fruitful of good works.
The local pride which our people feel in
this noble institution is not only pardon
able, it is praiseworthy in that it indicates
a degree of popular interest in education
and in the dissemination of knowledge
whose reflex benefit must exert a potent
influence on the well-being of the people
in whose midst the institution has grown
to the eminence it occupies as a scholas-
tic centre. The steady growth of the in
stitution, of which the late commence
ment gives evidence, is cause for mutual
congratulation, in which all interest
ed in the work of education, the great
integer of an elevated society, may
share.
