II Nav Save Your [. ife.

Habitual constipation or costiveness
is the fruitful source of innumerable
ills; the first of which is impurity of
the blood, and as a natural conse-
quence, the action of the heart, liver,
the stomach and kidneys is disorder
ed. It is unreasonable then to expect
a return of health while the cause of
these troubles exist, viz: Constipa-
ton or Sluggishness of the bowels. 1t
is the habit generally adopted to re-
sort to Salts, Castor Oils, Calomel,
ETC., which only afford temporary re-
lief, leaving the bowels in far worse
condition after the effects of these
medicines have passed off. DR.. Solo,
mons Bitters move the bowels to
healthy action, not acting as 1t were
mechanically, but they stimulate the
secretions, and in a healthful and
natural manner expel all impurities
without weakening the body, They
increase the appetite, and cause the
body to take On flesh, thus the system
is nourished. and by their tonic ac-
ton on the digestive organs, regular
stools are produced. 33-5t

the Milwaukee road, River Division.
The rates are a trifie lower than men,
toned last week. Round trip ticket
$50. so. Sleeper $500 extra. By tax
ing a lunch basket and not taking
sleeper the expenses can be reduced
below the estimate given. so that the
round trip need not cost, all told,
much more than $4,000 or even less.
Rooms, Sl.00 per day. About one
hundred are already engaged. mostly
teachers. Those desiring sleepers
should engage them at once. For
furthur particulars write to Supt. b.
f. Wright, ST. Paul, who viii accom-
pany the party and give his attention
TO their comfort. BY proper arrange
ment with Supt. Wright he will buy
tickets, and excursionists can join the
party at Red Wing, Hastings, or any
other station on the River division of

That's the Intention.

A Yankee is considered the sharp
est of the human family, and only the
Irishman can get the better of him.
The wit of the latter is more forcible
and more unique and spontaneous
than the formers plainess and direct
ness of speech. AS an example an
Irishman once took Yankee friend
to church with him on Christmas
day. The music was magnificent and
the decorations gorgeous. On their
way out of church the Irishman asked
the Yankee how he liked the service.
"Why, it just beats the DEVIL" repli-
ed the down.easter. THAT'S the in
tintion," dryy remarked the gentle
man from Tipperary. So it is the in
tention of N, X. Fairbank & Co. to
manufacture the finest soaps for gen.
eraI household use. Their famous
brands of Lakeside" and "White
Star" soaps are already unequaled.
They emit rich perfume which,
with other special qualities particular
ularly adapt them for the toilet, the
bath and the laundry. The are just
as represented and are sold at all gro
Gerry stores, Whoever once uses them
will never have the slightest intention
of trying any other kinds. 81

Nearly twelve years ago. DR.. Ed
ward Fishblatt, editor of the New
York Medical Journal, Physician in
Chief of the New York and Chicago
Medical and Surgical Institutes, and
later, Professor at Atlanta, Ga, Medi-
cal College, and physician and sur
geon of more than local reputation,
added GAINESVILLE to his list of cities
and towns to which he has been reg
ularly called by a large practice.
Since that time lie has been coming
at regular intervals, and now large
practice renders it impossible for him
to leave Wisconsin out of his course.
Some of the remarkable cures he has
performed are mentioned in these
columns.
After more than twenty years ex-
perience / am convinced that splints,
pulleys, and weights seldom accom-
plish much more than a partial relief,
and never cures, so far as l have OBJ
served. The practice of indiscrimi-
nate cutting of cords is useless, inju-
rious and cruel. 1t seldom accom-
plishes the desired object, and many
cases are left worse than before. All
that is expected to be accomplished
by the above practice can be more
safely, more certainly, and with far
less risk and suffering, accomplished
by other and entirely different means.
My experience has enabled me to
cure nine out of ten cases of hip dis
ease; ninety-nine cases out of hun
dred of white swelling of the knee
joint, and in every case of club feet.
| now commence their treatment with
as much confidence of success as |
would the ordinary duties of daily life
and all without risk or danger. and l
have never lost a case in practice of
over thirty years.

Washed-out Hair.

There is a sort of pallid, chalky
complexion which the novelists call a
"washed-out complexion. 1t is
CHASTITY enough, and no mistake.
Washed.out, faded, discolored, or par
ti-colored hair is almost as repulsfve
and melancholy. Parker's Hair Balsam
will restore your hair to its original
color, whatever it was: brown, black,
or auburn. Why wear moss on your
head, when you may easily have lively
shining hair.

Spring and fall are times when SO
many people get sick. The changes
in the weather are severe on feeble
persons, and even those naturally
strong are apt, as they say. ito be
feeling miserable Then they are
just in condition to BE- struck down
with some kind of fever. A bottle or
two of Parker's Tonic will invigorate
the digestion, put the liver, kidneys
and blood in perfect order, and pre-
vent more serious attacks. Why suf.
fer, and perhaps die, when so simple
a medicine will save you! Good for
both sexes and all ages.
