An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember q few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common Is any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by eur fore-fathers
in times past. SO it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition Of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it of through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
appreciate = cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures are marvellous.

curious housekeeper of experience re-
Gently made a careful practical test of the
comparative baking value of a large number
of the baking powders in the market, clud-
ing those of low and high cost. She found
that twenty-five cents worth of Horsford's
Bread Preparation raised more -four and
produced much better results than the same
moneys worth of the cheap adulterated
powders and also that it took fifty cents
worth of the ordinary high-cost baking pow
ders to raise the same quantity of -four. From
this che concluded that it was more economi-
cal to use the Horsfords than the low priced
adulterated powders, and the product was
much better. We recommend trial Of this
experiment by our lady friends.
