ALL ABOUT NERVOUSNESS.
An Insidious Disease Which Destroys Its
Thousands.

Nervousness, or nervous weakness is
disease of comparatively modern growth.
1t loves brilliant mark, and the best and
brightest men and women of our land be-
come its prey. There are many causes
which bring it on-overwork, worry; i'm
proper food, exposure, over-indulgence in
ale holic beverages or tobacco, and excess
cs q different kinds.
Nothing presents a more pitiable sight
than person suffering from serious ncr-
vous prostration. Themind becomes weak
and forgetful the patient cannot sleep,
and there are terrible pains in the head.
Feelings Of dependency or depression are
ever present; there is restlessness of the
eyes, and dissemination to meet people:
the features become pale, careworn, and
haggard; the muscles weak and flabby,
and there is general sense of being unfit
for anything.
Some of our most distinguished people
have trod this awful road which ends in
paralysis, apoplexy, paresis, insanity,
death Happily cure has at last been
discovered for this fearful disease. An
eminent medical gentleman, professor in
Dartmouth College has made discovery
which will bring happiness to many a
heart. 1t is called Paine's Celery Com
pound, and is natures own restorative for
weakened nervous power. Under its in
vigorating and health-giving action, the
mind will soon regain its vigor; the eyes
will sparkle as of old, the muscles become
firm, the nerves strong, the blood will pull
safe rapidly and steadily, and the tide of
health will come back again.
This reliable preparation creates an APP
petite, gives sound sleep and as yet is the
only known remedy for nervous diseases.
If your head aches or you feel worn, do
not delay the use of this true strengthened.

A New Story About General Grant.

Out in Nation, ILL.,, they tell this
story of General Grant. 1t was in
this town that the twenty-frst Illinois
infantry was mustered in. A Mr..
Goode was made colonel. He was d
man who neglected his duties, and the
twenty-first is said TO have been a
rough crowd anyway. 1t became the
terror of that vicinity. Nobody was
safe after dark, and it required some
courage to 60 out in daylight. The
citizens sent a petition to Governor
Oglesby to save them from the devas-
tations of the twenty-frst. Uncle
Dick sent over Grant, and in week an
angel could have camped on the place
without fear of molestation. - ttSburg
