A Veritable Broken Heart.

The important function in the ami
NAL economy filled by the heart has al
ways been recognized, and as its action
is visible and palpttle, sometimes un-
duly so, people of whose education
physiology formed no part have handed
down to us a variety of expressions en-
bodying the idea that reason, memory,
the emotions, ETC.. were all located
within this very useful organ. One of
these expressions is that of a ''broken
heart" the result Of grief " shock.
How such an explosion could have
come into general use is rather u puzzle.
A broken (ruptured) heart would, of
necessity, entail a Very speedy demise,
and joyful tidings would be much more
likely to effect such an occurrence by
accelerating the circulation and increas-
Ing the blood pressure. 1t must be la
ken, We suppose, 10 mean a "broken
spirit"-the COLLAPSE of the body con-
sequent on extreme depression Of mind.
Now and again, however we meet
with a veritable cas OF ''broken heart"
though not associated with any particu-
lar mental condition. Such a one pre-
sented itself a sholt time since at a
workhouse in Liverpool. At the post
norton examination of a woman, aged
so, the heart was found to be the seat
of a veritable rupture, extending from
the apex upwards, due simply and pure
ly to natural causes in the sense that no
violence had contributed to the catas-
trophe.

NERVOUS DEBILITY.
A Sure and Positive Cure for This Com.
mon Complaint.

Sufferers from nervous debility complain
of physical and nervous weakness and ex-
haustion; there Is prostration of the physi-
cal strength, a tired feeling with no incli-
nation for exertion, and the power to work
is diminished; the patient wakes mornings
tired and unrefreshed; there is an extreme
nervous and irritable condition, a dull,
cloudy sensation often accompanied by dis
agreeable feelings in the head and eyes; the
thoughts wander easily; there will be grad
ual failing of strength, with weakness
and pain in the back; bad taste in the
mouth mornings, the vision become dim,
the memory impaired, and there is frequent
dizziness; often the patient Is gloomy and
Respondent. and the nerves become so
weakened after a time that the least ex-
element or shock will flush the face, bring
a tremor or trembling or palpitation of the
heart.
For these symptoms DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura Nerve Tonic, the great Strengthening
and invigorating remedy, is a sure and
positive cure. Under the use of this won
derful restorative, which is purely vegeta-
BILE and therefore harmless, the dull eyes
regain their brilliancy, the pale look and
hollow cheeks show renewed health and
vitality, the weak and exhausted feelings
give place to strength and vigor, the brain
becomes clear, the nerves strong and steady,
the gloom and depression are lifted from
the mind and perfect and permanent health
is restored. 1t is an absolute and certain
specific for nervous debility. Young men
with weakened nerves and exhausted vital
ity can regain their strength by its use. 1t
restores lost energy and invigorates the
weakened vital powers In old and young.
No one need despair of a cure. Use DR..
G~reene's Nervura Nerve Tonic, and an alb
solutely certain cure will result

1t is said that excessive tea drinking
causes neuralgia


There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct
time; and wonderful and delicate meehan-
isms are devised to enable them to do so,
But the more delicate q ~chronometer is
made, the more subject it becomes to de
rangement, and unless it be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses Its usefulness.
What wonder, then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intricate
than any work of Man-should eduire to
be kept thoroughly oleansed. The liver is
the handspring of this complex structure,
and on the Impurities left in the blood by a
~disordered liver, depend most of the ills
that flesh is heir to. Even consumption
(which is lung-serofula), is traceabls to
uey diseases. skin diseases, sick headache,
heart disease, dropsy, and a long catalogue
of grave maladies have their origin in a
torpid, or sluggish liver. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, by establishing
a healthy, normal action Of the liver, acts
as a cure and preventive Of these diseases.

BEEF SANDwICHEs.-Cut some nice
bread in slices and butter them with a
mixture of two parts Of butter and one
of French mustard mixed well together.
Place between two slices Of bread thus
prepared a slice Of tender roast beef
carefully freed from fat. When anum-
Der of them are done pile up as many
as can be conveniently cut through,
and trim the edges so as to get rid of
all crusts IN the slices of bread; then
cut the sandwiches, some In small tri-
angles or small squares or round, and
others in figures-that is, pieces four
and one-half inches long and n and
one-half inches broad-make a pile Of
the figures, two and two, as logs of

other. In ham sandwiches use English
instead of French mustard.

PULLED BREAD.-Pulled bread is
not a common edible on American ta-
bles, but is pronounced delicious by
people who have tried 1t. 1t is TO be
eaten with cheese. Take a loaf of fresh

warm pull the inside out Of 1t In pieces
the size of your hand and smaller. Put
these into the oven and bake them a
delicate brown. When cool they are
crisp and as full of flavor as a nut.
