The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1893-02-07

No one knows these facts better than
women themselves, and the inside history
of feminine lives would reveal story of
tired bodies, unstrung and excitable
nerves, wearied limbs. aching heads and
backs, with that exhausted, dragged out
feeling which makes their lives miser-
able.
The well known Eta E. Haven, of New
Boston. Conn, writing upon this subject
says:
"Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is wonderful remedy for ner-
vous prostration. and those terrible tired,
weak feelings that make life burden,
almost too great to bear. feel that can
not say enough in its praise for what it
has done for me. 1t gives one the most
restful sleep, and in fact does all and more
than all it claims to do. wish every
poor, tired woman on the face of the
earth could be induced to try it for three
days; they would then understand its
value, and life would not seem so weari-
some and undesirable"
1t is a fact that the great nerve invigor-
ant and female restorative is DIR. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. No
remedy in the world is 80 sure to bring
back the bloom and color to the wan and
faded cheeks. the brilliancy to the hollow
and haggard eyes. the lightness and
elasticity to the weak and weary step. the
strength and vitality to the unstrung,
shattered and worn out nerves. 1t is the
greatest OF all uterine tonics and regula-
tors, and perfectly and completely cnres
all female weakness and disease.
If our readers are troubled in this way
we should advise them by all means to
use this remarkable remedy. We know
it to be purely vegetable and harmless
and it is within eyerybody's reach, as all |
druggists sell it for 81. 1t is the discovery
and prescription of DR.. Greene. of IS West
14th St., New York, the eminent special
list in the treatment of nervous and |
chronic diseases. and the doctor can be
consulted free, personally or by letter,
which is a guarantee of the great value of |
the remedy.
OIL IN RUSSIA AND PERSIA.
Darius Appears to Have Been the First !
Standard OIL Magnate.
In Athens, writes E. B. Sanborn to |
the Boston Advertiser, met gentle
man not long since at the Caspian sea,
near which Russian lake there have
been extensive oil wells of the czar's |
subjects. all dug and to some extent |
worked by Americans. he tells me that
now the American competition In pc
troleum is SO great that the Russian oil |
no longer commands living price. and
that the business is greatly depressed |
In that part of the Russian empire
Mentioning to him the English story |
that the petroleum Of that region had
poisoned the waters of the river Volga,
SO that the fish are all dying, he told
me that could hardly be, since the Cas-
plan sea abounds in excellent fish and
yet Is covered with oil, so that person
bathing in it, as he did, finds himself
anointed with petroleum on coming
out. He said that the fine Russian
steamers on the Caspian have their en-
gines run with oil from the wells near
Balu, which is the "oil city" of Asiatic
Russia.
Herodotus Of Halicarnassus speaks Of
oil wells in ancient Persia, near which,
at good distance from Susa, the Per-
sian king settled the colony Of con-
quered Eretrians from the island Of Eu-
beau, whom he carried off In $50 B. c.,
Just before the battle of Marathon.
Ardericca is the name of that oil city,
and Herodotus says 1t produced three
things-salt, asphalt and oil-all from
the same well--whence they were
drawn with sweep and bucket, as the
old-fashioned Yankees still draw water
and as it is drawn in Greece, when
the people are ingenious enough to
have a well sweep, and keep 1t In re-
pair, which is not always the case. The
heaviest salt and asphalt hardened and
separated, while the lighter oil was col
looted in tubs and pals and tanks. So
that Darius, the great king, WAS at the
head of the Standard Oil company of
which history makes mention-un1ess
Hesfew or Egyptian chronicles have
something -rcre ancient to offer.
Daughter of tss Regiment.
Some of the romantic events set
forth in Donizettis opera, The
Daughter Of the Regiment" ere
paralleled in story from st. Peters
burg. In one OF Russia's little wars
against troublesome tribes some twenty
years ago the soldiers of the Kekholmslky
regiment found on the battlefield Rftei
an engagement the body Of womaA
with little girl baby clasped In hei
arms. The child was adopted by the
regiment and named Maria Kekholmys-
isaya. She was educated at the expense
of the regiment, has always lived with
II and has been in every sense the
daughter Of the regiment. Some little
me ago Lieut.. Schlemmer, of the
Tzumsxy dragons, fell In love with the
young woman. He proposed, and ths
whole regiment, acting as her father,
considered his proposal, investigated
his character and received testimonials
from his brother officers. He was gra-
oiously accepted, and the couple are to
be welded shortly with interesting GER
emony that BELTS the character of the
case. nsnxs~u
