ITHiT DOES 1T MEIN 2
Something Mysterious That is Under.
Mining the Nation. a RoveI-

alton of Importance.
There Is no need in Disgusting the
fact that we as people are growing
weaker every day. Men and women
who were formerly stalwart are becom-
ing less strong and less active. An un-
accountable feeling of lassitude, an un-
certain appetite, bad breath, less vigcr,
occasional headaches, and above all in
ability to sleep well and rest well-all
these and many more symptoms are the
sure indications of absolute physical
breaking down. 1t does not come at
once; 1t is often slow process. In.
deed, 1t is so gradual that 1t is often
unnoticed until 1t becomes too late to
arrest its course. Then insomnia and
nervous debility set in, followed by
softening of the brain, insanity or
death. This Is an exceedingly import.
ant subject and demands the most
earnest and careful attention. But
what causes this terrible state Of affairs ?
Various things. The habits of life;
the competition of business; innumer.
able exccsses. The nerve force be.
comes lost, the energy gone and disease
and death set in.
The presence of these evils being ap-
parent the great and vital question Is
How can they be avoided or being
upon us, how driven away ?" BY
toning the system By building up
where disease IS tearing down. But
how2 BY using pure, gentle, yet
efficient medicine and for this purpose
nothing equals or has ever equaled
Volina Cordial. This wonderful com.
pound Is fast making revolution in
the health and spirits of the community
and is unquestionably in the front rank
Of modern medicines. 1t is q purely
vegetable preparation, pleasant to the
taste and wonderful in its results.
1t Is seldom that we advise any def
mite course of action, but the need of
the human race is so great; Its danger
so imminent and the relief so easy
that we cannot refrain from directing
careful attention to these solemn truths
and urge the importance of avoiding
impending disaster at once.
A well.known public man at Wash
ington, in conversation with the writer
on this subject said: Government sta
tistics show tremendous falling off In
the vital force Of the nation and a
special increase Of those diseases aris-
ing from nervous exhaustion. What
ever its causes may be the fact remains
that debility and loss of energy are
prevalent and increasing, and they
must be checked If we are to hope for
long life or health as people"

Eaay Fever Sufferers.

The number of people annually afflicted
with this most annoying malady seems to
be greatly on the increase. The
editor of this journal is an annual victim,
and with view to discover specific, has
tried numerous remedies. OF these, "Ely's
Cream Balm" is by all odds the quickest
and most satisfactory, two applications
greatly allaying the usual symptoms in the
nose and eyes. We would recommend its
use by all subject to hay fever, aud we
gladly bear unsolicited testimony to its elf
