Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and Bloed, is that it
is compounded of the very remedies which
Nature herself has provided for this purpose
Being at first scattered through the woods
and fields, DIR. X. has collected them and
after long and careful experiment has con-
densed their virtues in the form which he
now confidently offers to the sick and suffer-

a bad blow in Chicago, where nearly all
the prominent butter dealers and commits
sion merchants have agreed not to sell
any imitation OF butter whatever. This
was found necessary. as the reports OF

producing very bad effect upon the for
eign export trade.

The New York Star of Sunday says ;
AT last the great Egyptian obelisk has
been planted in its pedestal socket and
stands in Central Park connecting link
between the living present and the long
since dead and almost forgotten past.
Nearly ten thousand people assembled in
New York's great breathing-placc yester-
day to witness what il was supposed
would b, wonderful mechanical opera
ton. They were doomed to dsappoint-
ment. for instead of seeing u huge block
of ancient craving. with hieroglypics that
the most astute philologist could not hope
to decipher, there was gradually and with
great apparent ease dropped into an
aperture a small and notwithstanding
pyramid called the obelisk. Ii stood there
and mutely gave its history"
