pott'es OF whiskey with him and two yalises.
Inc boat was sailing seward about four
KNOTS per hour when overtaken by the Alice

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this 'neryeus trouble" with which so
many seem now to be afflicted? Ii you will re-
member few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown, Ito day it is as common
as any word in the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in time past. SO it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria intended TO GOV.
er what our grandfathers called Bilousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a dis
eased condition of the Liver which in performing
its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile
through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass
it off through the system, causing nervous troub
les, Malaria, Bilious Fever etc. You who are suf-
fering can well appreciate cure. We recommend
