SAMARITAN NERVINE

Cures Alcoholism, Drunkenness and the habit
OF Opium Eating. These degrading habits are
by far the worst evils that have ever befallen
suffering humanity. Thousands die annually
nom these noxious drugs. The drunkard drinks
liquor not because he likes It, but fOr the pleas
ure Of drinking and treating his friends, little
thinking that he Is on his road 10 ruin. Like
the Opium Enter, he fret uses the drug in
small quantities ~ u harmless antidote. The
soothing influence Of the drug takes strong hold
upon its victim, leading him on 10 his own de-
structiOn. Tue habits OF Opium Eating and
Liquor Drinking are precisely what eating IL TO
alimentiyeness, as oyer-eating FIRST infanies the
stomach, which redoubles its cravings until II
paralyzes both the stomach and appetite. So
every drink Of liquor or dose of opium, instead
OF satisfying only adds to its fierce fires, until IL
consumes the vital force and then itself. Like
the elnttonous tape worm, IL cries, ''0ive. give,
giYe! but never enough until its own rapaclty
deyours itself Samaritan Neryine gives instant
relief in all such cases. IL produces sleep,
quiets the nerves, builds up the nervous eyn-
TEN, and restores body and mind 10 a healthy
condition.

A total suspension of building
operations is threatened in New
York if the strikes of workmen en-
gagged in the building trades are
pushed much further. One archi-
Iect on Saturday countermanded
orders for five apartment houses,
the aggregate cost of. which would
have been about 100000, the higher
prices demanded tor labor. together
with the advance in building mate
rial, rendering it impossible 10 do
the work at anything like a profit.
This is not by any means solitary
case There is point where the
consideration of cost summarily de-
cides the question of beginning or
continuing enterprises of this char
acter. independently of other intlu-
ences, and from that decision there
is no appeal, and it is thought this
point Is nearly reached.
