were frequently interrupted by applause
and cheers. but when he got to the point
where allusion was made TO Governor
Clicks holding a federal office the speaker
found he was treading on dangerous
ground, as evidenced by the shrinkage
in the volume of enthusiasm which his
remarks evoked. and when he said: "A
few-I am glad TO say there are very few
who do not think that Governor Click
can be elected delegate at large because he

This wonderful remedy, whose praise is

marvellous in its curative powers of any
remedy ever discovered. We hear every
day of remarkable cures of nervousness.

there a case saved from that terrible dis

40 Blu Hill avenue, Boston, Mass; again,
cures of paralysis of years standing, like

Cures of sleeplessness, with nervous and

wonderful cure of Mrs. W. t.. Able, of 10

one among thousands. Altogether, the re-

weakness, nervous debility, dependency,
depression of mind, headache, trembling,

miraculous effects in curing disease. 1t is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that drug
stores everywhere are overwhelmed with
orders for this remarkable remedy, and it
is almost impossible to supply the demands
from the hundreds OF thousands of sufferers
from nervous diseases. All druggists keep
the remedy, at 81 per bottle, and its low

your druggist does not have it, he will get
it for you.

Good health, good morals, good sense and

After them come the minor advantages of

life will be comfortable and happy. Lack
ing either. it will be in more or less degree
a failure. Upon good health dep ends large
