"Your asking me how came to use it, re-
minds me of the story of the Scotchman who,
on his deathbed, after life of meanness,
wanted to make things all right with the Lord
by leaving some money TO the kirk
''wilI the Almighty pass me into heaven if
give 10000 pounds to the kirk, dye Think

the minister, but advise We to try the exper-
iment.' y"

Ii more than met my expectations, and | am
very glad to testify to its excellence. 1t goes
at once to the root of all digestive and ner-
vOus arrangements so common among men of
my profession. For women and chronic IN
valids the Tonic is perfect invigorant and is
destined to Supplant all other medicines for
this purpose. A single dose produces the gen.

to antagoniZe the hold of the liquor habit over

This preparation, which has been known as
Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be
called simply PARKER'S TONIC. As un-
principled dealers are constantly decelYlng
their customers with inferior articles under
the name OF ginger; and as ginger is really an
unimportant fiavoring ingredient, we drop the
misleading word.
There will be no change, however, in the pre-
paration itself, and all bottles in the hands of

Ginger Tonic, contain the genuine medicine if

thartic, such as mandrake and aloes,

never debilitates or produces any un-

Judge McAdoo:
BRENNAN, TEX, March II, '83.
Messrs. Walker & Bell:
| bear cheerful testimony to the
great value of Dr. Tobin's "Hepato-
zone" In the spring of 1881, after
several months of low health, was
completely Frustrated by what ulti-
mately eliminated In the breaking of
large absceSs of the liver-discharg-
ing through the lungs and throat, in
the spring of 1882. For more than
year, under the most skillful
and constant medical treatment,
| was complete invalid, with
general dropsy, and terrible
heart troubles, in addition to the dis
ease of the liver. After the abscesS
of the liver discharged and healed,
and the other distressing attendant
maladies disappeared, the crippled
condition of the liver has been such
that | have been compelled frequent
ly to take medicines to stimulate its
action and regulate its secretions.
About d month ago | was induced to
try the HepatoZone, and have found
it the very remedy needed. 1t acts
upon the liver, and regulates its secre-
tionS without any unpleasant effects;
no nausea, no gripping, no interference
with diet or digestion, and is tonic in
effects. | believe it to be most val
liable remedy. J. ID. MCADoO.

AUSTIN, May 10, 1883.
Drs. Tobin:
Your '.Hepatozones as a gentle
purgative has no equal. 1t moves
the bowels without making the pa
tient feel sick, weak or languid. 1t
is often the case that we feel little
bilious, have some headache perhaps,
and are feeling unwell generally, and
only need an easy purgative to relieve
us; your "Hepatozone" is the medi-
cine for that conditions / relieved a
case of dysentery with it in very
short.time. We use it largely in this
Institution. FRANK RAINEY,

Accident to Captain John McCauley.

Captain John McCauley, son of Judge
McCauley, of the Orphans Court, met with
quite Il severe accident on Saturday after
noon last, near Harlan & Brothers Paper
Mills. He was in market wagon, driving
spirited horse on his way from Cherry
Hill to New Leeds, and while driving down
the hill near Mr.. Michael IIartnett's, the
Lrecch band broke throwing the wagon on
the horses heels and causing him to run.
Mr. McCauiey was thrown forward by the
sudden shock, falling across the shafts, his
foot catching between the shafts and single
tree, and in this position he was dragged
until his shoe came off, when he was re-
leased, falling to the ground. The horse
kept on in his mad course until completely
Kidding himself of the wagon, leaving it in
pieces along the road. Messrs. George Har-
Ian and Michael Hartnett witnessed the &C
cident. and went to the injured mans aid
and took him to his home. DIR. Mitchell
was called to attend him, and he is now
doing well. He was very much cut and
bruised about the head and shoulders, but
it is thought no serious injury was received.
The wonder is that he came out of the acct
| dent alive.

Nelson ]. Lee to the Front.

Our readers will remember Nelson j.
Lee, the pretended apostle of temperance
who raised quite smoke in this latitude
few years ago (about 1870, and who
afterwards showed out in his true colors
by going back upon those who placed
confidence enough in him to aid him
pecuniarily, deserving his wife and going
Oft with another woman-also a pre-
tended temperance evangelist-and
finally turning up as saloon keeper in
Chicago. 4 few weeks ago he again
came to the front in his old role of tenn
perance reformer, this time at Bridge
port, Conn. He represented that he had
been urged to go there by the temper
ance people of New Haven, and had
finally consented. He settled down in
good boarding house, and began work by
soliciting the cooperation of prominent
temperance laymen, and with the minis
ters of the various churches. In this he
was, however, unsuccessful, getting moth
lug but the cold shoulder from any of
them. lie also claims that he had been
promised hearty support by prominent
citizens Of New Haven, but that it came
not. After remaining there for some
time, and finding no one willing to en-.
bark in his double back action temper
ance movement with him, he published
card calling Bridgeport q rum-cursed
city, and announcing that he proposes to
flee from the iniquitous community and
give over his philanthropic endeavors to
win the Yankees to tetotalism.
Not being successful in doing the peo-
pie of Bridgeport. and being a temper
ance reformer of unbounded cheek he
may come this way again.

A Wide Shot,

AS the Delaware express was passing
Gray's Ferry on Tuesday afternoon, a
rifle ball came tearing through one of the
glass windows in passenger car and out
the other side by an open window. A
party of gentlemen were sitting near the
window and the leaden missile whistled
in intentionally close proximity to their
heads. The matter was promptly re.
ported to the company and upon investi.
CATION it was ascertained that party OF
men had been shooting at target in the
vicinity of the railroad and that the bal
which pierced through the car window
had gone wide of the mark. Measures
will be taken to prevent further target
practice in the vicinity. - Wilmington

loved better than life. He was . public
spirited man and took great interest in
home enterprises of all kinds. He was
deeply interested in the welfare Of our
County Agricultural Society, and gave it
every encouragement and support in his
power. Before and during the annual
fairs he devoted nearly his whole time to
its interests, not merely as director of

in the Ninth district, was struck by light
ming. on Thursday, and entirely consumed.
\ number of horses in the building at the
time were saved, but the other contents,
consisting Of a large lot of hay, implements,
etc , were all burned. Mr. England had
been Insured until within a few days ago,
when he allowed his policy to lapse; so the
entire loss will fall on him. We advise all
farmers who have barns with valuable con
tents to call nj this office and secure a poll
cy of insurance upon them in the Farmers
Company. of York, Pa. The cost is slight
and it may save them from heavy loss.

-Appropo of the delay and trouble in Sc.
curing prompt delivery OF newspapers by
the L. S. mails, from which all publishers
suffer, we quote the following from an ex-
change: Post Master General Gresham in
tends to call the attention of his post mas
tiers, big and little, TO the fact that the obli-
CATION to carry newspaper straight to its
destination is precisely rs binding rs the
obligation to deliver n letter. This order,
when it reaches some of the post offices,
will be an astonishing piece Of news. But
| Mr.. Gresham's ideas are correct. The news
papers prepay their postage, and are entiI-
led to ready and intelligent service" We
trust that Post Master General Gresham
may not only "call attention" to present
abuses, but insist upon reform in the
newspaper mail service.
The material for building tho second
ed from Willamsport, Pa, and the wharf
will be so far advanced by Aug. LIST, ~ to be
ready for the government dredging ma
chine, which will be here about that time
to dredge out the creek. The new wharf
will be located upon the south side of the
creek, Immediately opposite the one just
completed. 1t will be about the same length
as the first one. The frame will be set up
on the flats and marsh on the south of the
creek, and the greater part of the filling in
will be done by the mud digger, emptying
its scoopings within the frame work. This
wharf, when completed will he used main
ly for coal, the bulk of the wood being
stored on the other side \ road way will
be built from a point on the causeway just
south of the iron bridge to the new wharf,
for the convenience of teams hauling coal,
&c. Between the two wharfs, material will
be transported by means of lighters.
