SENSIBLE MEI that of the many diseases
and arrangements of the body each has a sepa-
rate cause or origin, and that each needs diff
ferent method of treatment in order to effect a
cure, and moments rejection must convince
that any of the quack nustrumS foisted upon the
public claiming to cure all OF q number OF dia-
metrically different diseases must prove failures,
even if we do not call them humbugs.
D0Gn lpGj)I = anG people of moderate means
pUUR fEUPlE and even people well to do or
wealthy, find that the enormous charges of
practicing physicians are q serious burden TO
them, and also find that after paying themselves
poor that no benefit has accrued to them, that
in fact they have thrown their money away. To
overcome these evils we offer Wheelcr's No. 96
Sure Remedies to the sick and suffering, one
Remedy for each disease, without for o moment
claiming that one remedy will cure any other
disease than the one claimed for il, and as these
remedies have stood the test of years without n
single failure, we agree 10 refund the money
paid in every instance where cure Is not posi-
lively effected The remedies are entirely vege-
table, can do no harm, and will positively cure
every disease for which they are prescribed.

TO get the pick of the market at the lowest

charity that suffereth long and is kind" the
true badge of christianity, that though she
never wandered from the path of duty to pluck

AT Stuarts Draft Feb. IL, 1883 Isaac Tucker
Rankin, son of. A. and Bottle Rankin, in the 7th
year Of his age.
We know our little Tucker has passed over the
River to join the angel band, and that pain and sor
row can never reach him there, yet we miss his
bright little face, sigh for touch OF his vanished
hand,-for a sound of his silent voice.
We Bonded down and kissed his face
So white and calm and full OF grace;
And felt the little hand that pressed
AS in fond prayer, the bea ,Iteous breast
And dropped a tear OF sad regret
Ger one whose lovely bloom had set,
In rarer hues and 5weeter scent,
In Gods blessed garden of content.
Cease to weep, for tears vain,
Your little Tucker Is out of pain.

Peaceful in thy grave so low

Thou no more our songs shall know.

When the day of life has fed;
Then in Heaven with Joy well greet thee,
Whore no farewell tears She'd
