Neuralgia ana rheumatism are the cause OF
nearly all the pains and aches from which so
many suffer. Innumerable persons suffer from
headache, which is, in most cases, nervous or

pain. Thousands of people suffer from pain i'm

lection, and the rheumatic pains may be in any
part of the system, but are most frequently in the
arms, shoulders, leg and feet These diseases are
always more dangerous in the spring and should
receive immediate attic ntion.
Why continue to suffer when DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura, the great pain relieyer, will certainly cure
you? 1t is purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. You can procure it at any druggists for

the losses, he would necessarially
have TO incur by breaking up and

would represent a capital of $4,000
and would employ from forty to

to the capacity to which it might be

twenty years experience in the
business, and had refused a bonus Of
$4,000 to move to another point, but
the location was more favorable here,
and If CIarksville would donate O., 600

and would give any and all satisrac-

the enterprise.

fi - nvr--r.--stg and ornamental plants
c ivated in the Southern States at
tnt present day. 1t treats on their
oIigin and Introduction, their propa-
ti6n and subsequent culture, the dis
eases and remedy that different
cldsses Of plants are subject to, and
Gives the varieties best suited to the
climate and soil of the South. 1t ex-
poses the humbugs Of horticulture,
ah2 no secrets known to the florist
bushpess is retained; it is replete with
all id reformation necessary for abund-
ant success in Horticulture, containing
both fhe poetry, the prose and fiction
as We'll as the details for the every
day cultivation and care of all the
nume9ous flowers upon which it
treats.\ 1t is respectfully dedicated to
the fioSer-loving ladies of the South,
and is p book that everybody who
grows t1 lowers, no matter how few,
should Pe in possession of. During
the past -four or FIVE years, Mr.. Nor
ton has Mad numerous applications
from his customers to recommend
such book, and this he could not do,
that would give the desired informa-
tion for this climate, as what works
there are on the subject are written
,in the old country and some few in
the North, \that owing to the great
climatic difference of these sections
the doctrines of such books are mis-
leading and could not be attempted
with any degree of success in this
more Southern latitude. Mr.. Morton
has also, all through his busy seasons
in Spring and Fall, burned the mid
hight oil in replying to dozens of let
tiers received daily, asking some in
formation on the subject of foricult-
ure, and soliciting his advice on in
Vulnerable matters relating to his
profession. With such a task as this
continually before him, he caught the
happy idea of putting his vast fund of
floral information into book form. So
that now Southern Horticulture"
contains all he knows about flowers,
and it is with pleasure he now offers
it to his friends and customers at one
dollar per copy. The people of the
South are evidently hungry for this
book, judging from the number OF
orders that each mail brings for it,
and the CHRoNICLEi is proud that Mr..
Morton is the man to supply it. The
book will be ready for distribution
about the first week in March, and
we wish the author great success in
this, we are confident, his lucky un-
dertaking.
