THE CAUSE FOUND.

The cause of chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
People have taken Blood Purifiers "
and wondered why there was no perms-
nent benefit de.ived.
DIR. Shoop has taken step in advance
of all others, by giving special study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain nerves have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs. When
these nerUes are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack Of nerve force.
DIR. Shops Restorative is a
stomach, liver and kidney cure, as it acts
upon the nerves that control these organs.
Not "Nervine," but nerve food. Ii

Note well that Marat was never q parti-
san. His general policy was to oppose
power IN every form. He also croaked and
prophesied and caviled. He had in him
something Of the gifts Of Cassandra and
all of the malignity of Thersites. TO quar-
rel was his breath and life. Strange that
such vindictivc and malevolent soul
should be truthful. But it was so. AT the
bottom Marat spoke the truth with his lips
and from the heart. IIc believed absolute
ly the things which he snid and published
lie would join himself with nobody. He
fought the king, and lie fought the Giron-
dists, and he fought Dumouriez, and he
fought everything and everybody which
seemed to him to be Il relic of the ancient
order in France. Hard was the struggle
between him and the Girondists. After the
execution Of the king that powerful party
succeeded i'll urreSting Marat, and he was
brought before the revolutionary tribunal,
but the trial ended in victory for the hate

more furiously.

to a skeleton, and the burning of his skin

he had his lodgings in the Rue de lEcole
de Medicine, where in a sort Of a garnet,
he had fixed his bath tub and editorial
