Reunion.-Our venerable

RcuniOn.-Our venerable friend, Mr.
George Licklidcr, one Of the most re-
spectcd citizens of this section, celebrated
his eightieth birthday on Thursday last,
and made it the occasion to gather around
him the large family connection which he
has. Among his relatives were his brother
Lewis, from Missouri, aged &c years, and
Samuel, of MartinsburS, aged 10 years,
the three brothers being the last of fam
ily of fifteen. They are all active and
hearty still, and look as if they have a
good lease on life yet. Mr.. Licklidcr
killed the fatted calf on Thursday, and
had big dinner to celebrate the anniver-
sary. We hope this may not be his last
birthday celebration.

Vital Questions ~!
* the most eminent physicians

ASK the most eminent physicians
of any school, what is the best thing in the
world for quoting and aaying all irritation of
the nerves and curing all forms of nervous
complaints, giving natural, childlike, refreshing
sleep always?
And they will tell you unhesitatingy
''Some form of Hops."
CHAPTER L.
ASK any or all of the most eminent physi-
clans:
''What is the best and only remedy that can
be relied on to cure all diseases of the kidneys
and urinary organs; such as Bright's disease,
retention or inability to retain urine, and all the
diseases and ailments peculiar to Women
And they will tell you explicitly and en-
phatically "Buchu."
Ask the same physicians
What is the most reliable and surest cure
for all liver diseases or dyspepsia constipation,
indigestion, biliousness, malarial fever, ague,
&t.," and they will tell YOU
Mandrake or Dandclion."
Hence, when these remedies are combined
with others equally valuable
And compounded into Hop Biters, such Il
wonderful and mysterious curative power is
developed which is so varied in its operations
that no disease or i'll health can possibly exist
or resist its power, and yet it is
Harmless for the most frail woman, weakest
invalid or smallest child to use.

THE WONDER

Is becoming universal as to how such an i'm
menSe sale could be created in Lowell for
HOODS SARSAPARILLA. But, my friend if
you could stand behind our counter week
and hear what those say who are using it,
the reason would appear as clear as the
MONDAY sun. The real curative power of
HOODS SARSAPARILLA demonstrates itself
in every case where orr directions are faith
fully regarded. We would that we might
get before the people fractional part of the
confidence that is expressed TO us every day
in this medicine by those who have carefully
noted without prejudice its effects upon the
blood and through that upon the whole sys-
ten, stimulating all the functions of the
body to perform the duties nature requires
of them. Try bottle and satisfy yourself.

About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your SarSaparlla. At that time she
had very little appetite; could take no long
walks and her face was badly broken out
Wltha lumOr. She was l0W-Spirited; troubled
with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed
to be poor and She was in condition which
caused Us great anxiety After taking one
bottle of your SdrSaparilla she began to I'M
prove: and she now has a good appetite and
can take much longer walks Her humor is
nothing compared with what it was one year
ago. She is III better spirits, is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously And
