Restored.

heSlOFeOs
In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untamed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean, The Amer
ican people are fast, under these influences
developing into a nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail
fcations; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the rulnatlon of the physical
character Of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart
man. and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S S. Goudy, of Massilon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
sia for several years that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles OF the medi
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says it
is wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus s. Co., Springfield, O.,
writes ." We are having good sale for
PERUNA. 1t sells as well as anv medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisfac-
ton"
Mrs. G. w. Needham, Newtonville,
Clermont County. Ohio, says: " have
been a great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life. / was very much reduced.
Ihave taken four bottles of PERUNA, which
has restored me to perfect health and
strength We think PERUNA apsafe and
grand medicine"

The German element of Wilmington
ranks among its best and most indus
trious citizens, and it is seldom indeed
that German is charged with crime.
AS a general thing they work hard, are
saving, and as q consequence are able
to provide for old age. A reporter had
his curiosity excited few days since
to learn who are the Oldest German citi-
zens in this place, and upon making
inquiry ascertained that Messrs. John
Fullmsr OF No. 2l0 West Ninth street,
Joseph Eisine No, All Orange street,
Joseph Schawb No. 727 Pine street,
John Otto No. 500 East Third street
and Lawrence +. Messick are the Oldest
Germans in this city. Messrs. FullmeT
and Otto have retired from active bust
ness, Mr.. Elsing Is the senior member
of the firm of Eising s. Dange, Mr.
Schawb is a painter, and Mr.. Messics
is the we'll known fruit and produce
dealer at Third and King streets. AL
these gentlemen are we'll known an6
highly respected in this community
Mr.. Messick came to this country IL
1887, and has lived in New Castle
Country almost ever since that time.

The editor Cutting remains IN Jail at
Paso de- Norte, Mexico, but his cell
has been better ventilated, and his a.
lowance for subsistence raised from

laws"

thrt "a bitter war feeling ia pred omi
nant throughout Northern Texas, and
the Cutting case is absorbing attention
throu ghout the State. The hatred o.
the Texans for Mexico has been grow
