THE REASON.

Why, l. w. Harper's Nelson
County Whiskey is preferred above
all other brands is because it is the
most regular and perfect product,
Incontestably ever made. A long
experience the manufacture of the
Harper, the large capital of the
distIller, which enables him to hold
his whiekey until it has fully ma
tured, together with the fact that
the whiskey is bought by aud ship
ped to MS direct from the dislillery,
accounts for the unvarying satisfac-
lion it has given those best edu-
.ated to q fine whiskey.

FREDERICK HEcKER, the leading
German politician Of Illinois, died on

cumb TO numbers. Since 1s49 he has
been a resident and citizen Of Illinois.
He Joined the Republican party in
1856 and stumped Illinois, Ohio and
Indiana for Fremont. In 1890 he
was one of Lincoln's electors. In
April. 81 he recruited q regiment and
served In Grants brigade, Of whom
he early prophecied q glorious militia
~ future. He resigned in the fall Of
1862 and recruited his second regiment
In the spring of 1868, and served with
IL to the end. He was wounded four
times during the war. He always
continued on intimate terms with

No man or woman can do satisfac-
tory work when the brain Is dull, the
nerves unsteady, the system relaxed
and they feel generally wretched.
Why should lawyers, merchants,
clergymen, doctors, mechanics or
mothers often miserably drag through
their work in this condition, when q
small amount of Parker's Ginger
Tonic will always, at q moderate cost,
clear the brain and give them the
strength and will to perform their
duties satisfactorily. We have felt its
strengthening and bracing effects and
can recommend 1t most highly. See
